Nelson originally just wanted to take a casual look. He knew that Laiyin was well-known, but the knowledge about formations was too unpopular.
A while ago, Qing Hu asked him for advice on some matters concerning the formation.
He knew that Qinghu was thinking about formations related to the Qi Gathering Formation, but the guy had a bad temper and he didn't want to ask more.
He didn't take the formation passed down by Lai Yin too seriously. The Qi Gathering Formation had already been thoroughly figured out, how could it be improved?
But as he looked at it, he couldn't help but take it in.
Although there were some things that he still knew and didn't know why, but he was certain that there was definitely something wrong with this formation.
But this time, it was Lai Yin's turn to be dissatisfied, "Sir, half of what you said is enough... Transmission through a watch is not safe."
Nelson could only laugh dryly, "Xiao Laiyin, do you still hold a grudge against me? Send it to me quickly."
"I told you to keep it secret," Lai Yin replied seriously, "I will verify it first and then hand it over."
"Turn it over..." Nelson knew exactly what this word meant. Even though he was the supreme leader, some people really couldn't be offended.
But he couldn't help but ask, "Has the person who provided the information verified it?"
"I've seen the real thing," Lai Yin didn't want to offend the other party. Although she thought she would definitely advance to the highest level, why bother?
“That’s part of the design rationale for the physical thing.”
"Then this team is great," Nelson replied without hesitation, "but be careful with the military."
This is really the kind of person who would remind you like this. Although this result is amazing, it has touched the military's chest.
"The other party has no plans to promote it," Lai Yin replied solemnly, "They pay great attention to information barriers, and they probably plan to use it themselves."
These situations are really not uncommon. As soon as she explained it, Nelson understood.
"I want to exchange a set. Does the other party have any needs?"
"Replacing one set" is a cliché. In fact, it means that he wants to obtain the relevant technology and use it within a limited scope.
This limited scope is definitely limited and does not require human supervision at all.
The laws of the empire cannot restrain the spread of piracy, but the military can.
If used in a small area, it will not alert the military and basically there will be no problems.
If someone wants to sell it on a large scale, the military will be the first to let it go, let alone Lainken's refusal to agree.
There are many people engaged in research and development in private. The military has already monopolized the Qi Gathering Formation and is unwilling to do anything about it, especially those with high-level awakenings.
Most of the research done by the elders is done out of hobbies or for the sake of their own future. This cannot be stopped.
If the military really wants to forcefully stop it, it will face the risk of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Of course the army is very tyrannical, but who can hide in a military camp all their life without coming out?
The supreme sneak attack, the assassination of the desperado, the poisoning by ordinary people...the many methods are simply impossible to guard against.
The most embarrassing thing is that there are so many people offended, and trying to find the suspect is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
The military has suffered such losses before, but now it just turns a blind eye: you develop it yourself privately, and just use it privately.
However, this is the bottom line of the military. Anyone who dares to sell these things will definitely be mercilessly detained!
What's the matter, we've let you use it secretly, doesn't that count as a favor?
If someone insists on selling it for profit, whose business is being robbed and whose face is being slapped?
This kind of behavior will not only anger the military, but from another perspective, it will shake the foundation of the empire's rule!
There are some things that really cannot be done without comment. If you do them secretly, no one will care about them. If you do them in a big way, you will destroy yourself.
Ultimately, everything comes down to moderation, and Nelson knew this.
And he also knows that what the other party needs may not be money!
When there is too much money, it is really just a number.
For those at the top of the pyramid, things that money can't buy are valuable, so he asked the other person what they needed.
Lai Yin pondered for a moment before replying, "I can help you inquire about this matter. It's not easy to talk to the other party."
"It's hard to talk..." Nelson looked at his watch that had hung up the communication and began to think deeply.
It makes Lai Yindu so fearful, and he has mastered the existence of the improved Qi Gathering Formation, so he is not easy to provoke.
He looked up at the sky and found some clouds appeared. He couldn't help but sigh, "This is... the sky is going to change."
Another half month later, Lai Yin came to Niaomingjian Manor again.
This time she brought an ordinary Qi gathering array, but she also made many demands.
First of all, this formation is borrowed and must be returned in the future.
Even if something unexpected happens and the formation is damaged, the remaining broken parts must be returned.
Secondly, there is rent during the borrowing period - this is what Qu Jianlei strongly advocated, and it is also the requirement of the forces behind Lai Yin.
The rent is not expensive, only 10 million a year.
For ordinary people, it would take several lifetimes without eating or drinking to save so much.
But when it comes to the supreme cultivation, the annual rent is really half rent and half free.
Lai Yin said that her request was just to emphasize ownership - you are paying rent, so the things are not yours!
Qu Jianlei accepted this statement simply, "You don't even need to pay a deposit, the conditions are already very generous."
In fact, both of them deliberately ignored the possibility that if he encountered misfortune, this formation would be gone forever.
Without even collecting the deposit, the group coming to Yin will suffer heavy losses.
But she didn't point this out, which shows that the team behind her made a bet on Qu Jianlei.
If everyone is gone, there is no need to worry about those losses...
What Qu Jianlei thought was that if he mentioned this, he might set up a flag again.
Your physique is already enough to attract trouble, so you don’t need to ask for trouble anymore, right?
Anyway, if he is really unlucky and cannot return to the formation, there is nothing he can do.
But since he is the protagonist, he feels that he will not be so unlucky - he will enter the Nascent Soul stage sooner or later!
Since Laiyin’s team is betting, it has its own needs.
This is the third request: if the Rhodiola rosea team can transform the formation, they hope to obtain relevant information.
Lai Yin knew that the other party was very concerned about information barriers, so he made a special promise: the relevant information would not be spread out.
This idea is somewhat similar to what Nelson considered: it is possible for them to use it, but only internally.
They couldn't afford the cost of spreading - at least they didn't want to get into such big trouble.
Lai Yin even said bluntly, "They don't think your team can complete the transformation of this formation quickly."
"So even if you don't have complete information, it's okay to provide phased results when returning the formation."
This request is too real. It means that the other party is not optimistic and is not an offense.
Being able to accept phased results proves that they care about the Rhodiola team's ideas, or technical routes.
As for the result? It’s not that important.
The most important thing is that this statement shows that even if the Rhodiola team hides some results, they will not pursue it excessively.
Therefore, it can be considered that this is a gentleman's agreement, and it is really sincere compared to the chips that the other party has provided.
Faced with such sincerity, Qu Jianlei really had no reason to object.
He said very simply, "I will only rent it for one year and I won't let you take too much risk."
A one-year lease is a bit short, but in fact, with Xiaohu in hand, this formation can be basically thoroughly analyzed in one month.
As for a perfect replica, the time limit will definitely be longer, maybe it won’t be possible in three to five years, and if it’s a transformation, it might take even longer.
But in his team, it is almost impossible for anyone to advance to the highest level within three to five years.
The formation he and Paranoid need to use is the spirit gathering formation instead of the energy gathering formation.
In the next few years, his team will have no need for ordinary Qi gathering arrays, so he naturally does not need to rent them for such a long time.
However, Xiaohu's workload will increase a lot as a result.
What's especially bad is that the two sets of computing units that Qu Jianlei spent a huge sum of money to purchase are not at hand.
Fifty million of them are gathering dust in the asteroid belt, and twenty million of them are on the 8384 ship. All they have available is a terminal of the Anti-Smuggling Department.
He was analyzing the teleportation array a while ago, but it was still in the early stages of construction. It didn't require a lot of calculations, and a small terminal was enough.
But now, if you want to add the analysis of the ordinary version of the Qi Gathering Formation, this computing power is really not enough.
8384 is not far away, parked at the star port of Tianbing, but the problem now is that he cannot leave Niaomingjian Manor.
With his cautiousness, he would not be very at ease with the paranoid.
He was very worried that once the guy left his sight, the situation would get out of control - at the very least, human nature could not be easily tested.
Do you want to authorize Lai Yin to help you get the computing unit group back?
This thought only stayed in his mind for a moment, and then he threw it away.
Lai Yin showed great sincerity when he came this time, but is this worthy of his full trust?
The inlays and connections of the computing unit groups, as well as the modified underlying logic in the main control room system, really cannot be easily revealed.
So this matter really cannot be entrusted to Lai Yin.
So he coughed lightly and said, "By the way, can you get the computing unit group created by Sihai?"
"Computing unit, can't you buy it if you have money?" Lai Yin was not very familiar with this kind of equipment.
Then she raised her watch and asked for relevant news.
The result is just as she said, money can buy it.
In addition to the 20 million, 30 million, 50 million and 80 million computing units, there are also 150 and 240 million computing units.
It's just that this kind of equipment is too professional. Even if Haiyinjia comes forward, the other party will not give much discount.
The reason is obvious - those who need this kind of equipment are just in need, so why does the supplier need to discount it?
"Two hundred and forty million!" A certain unscrupulous butterfly started to spin crazily, "You have the ability to pay!"
It remembered very clearly that two starships were sold a while ago, and the banknotes in the boss's hands were close to 400 million.
