Zhang Hao quietly turned his gaze away from the starry sky.
Today, the interstellar high-speed transportation equipment that is undergoing extreme testing finally has a problem. Well, the word "finally" is used.
Many people think that it is best to test if there is no damage. But that is quality inspection. Testing is to do the worst and test the limits of technology.
After long-term operation, the structure responsible for opening subspace and withstanding space pressure and energy transmission pressure began to age; the space gate fluctuated, but with excellent technical support, researchers still guided the unmanned spacecraft to return safely, and then the space gate
Only then did some structural parts break, the energy path was broken, and the door to space was closed.
When the gate of time and space was closed, ten unmanned spaceships rushed into the subspace from the other end. This time it was deliberately arranged to test the safety of the subspace.
In order to avoid possible changes, these spacecraft that rush into subspace are set to self-destruct. Once an external force is turned on, or an unknown life enters the interior of the spacecraft, the spacecraft will self-destruct.
Even the technical designers of Ocean Group and Blue Star Group have considered the "electromagnetic life" in science fiction - a life with only electromagnetic wave structure, or other similar life.
Since the advent of the Ocean Group and science, the cultivators in this starry sky have also been on the road of science fiction and have never looked back.
In addition to extreme testing, equipment is now also tested for war damage - what to do if attacked.
Faced with this kind of technology that requires access to subspace, no one dares to be careless in the slightest.
Zhang Hao just paid attention to the on-site test and continued to be busy with other things. Currently, Zhang Hao has two things to care about.
The first is the Gate of the World. It has been nearly a year since the last war, and the Sky Demon World seems to be honest. But everyone speculates that this is just accumulating strength and waiting for the next attack.
However, the Blue Star Group also used the latest space technology to strictly block the vicinity of the World Gate.
In the past year, everyone has tested each other, and there have been many small battles. However, in the past year, due to the technological advancement of the Blue Star Group, the Sky Demon World has hit a wall many times. But everyone can feel that a war may break out at any time.
Of course, this 'any time' must also be calculated based on interstellar time - maybe tomorrow, maybe more than ten years from now. It could even be hundreds of years later.
Everyone speculates that it will take at least a hundred years for the demon saint Yongji last time to recover. But before he recovers, he may not start a war. Not to mention the huge world of demons.
For this reason, the Blue Star Group is also constantly trying to invade the Sky Demon World - before it was the invasion of the Sky Demon World, and now it is the Blue Star Group's invasion. The two sides are fighting, infiltrating, assassinating, etc. near the gate of the world almost without interruption.
The Blue Star Group needs to obtain materials and other materials from the Sky Demon World, and the Sky Demon World also likes to eat the flesh and blood of practitioners.
It's a pity that the Blue Star Group's technology has made progress recently, and mechas have become more and more powerful. Many exploratory wars involve drones, robots, etc. Faced with these steel lumps, the sky monsters are so angry that they still have nothing to do.
The legions of the Blue Star Group have also rushed into the Sky Demon World many times, using the stars of the Sky Demon World to form formations. Although their power is very weak because they have no spiritual energy, they have aroused the vigilance of the Sky Demon World. The legion of the Blue Star Group,
He also used this method to trap and kill many legions from the Sky Demon World.
However, in the battles of the past year, everyone has a tacit understanding, limiting the level of cultivation to the level of the peak of heaven; or it can be said that it was created by the Blue Star Group.
Whenever a sky demon above the king level appears in the world of demons, masters from the Blue Star Group will appear and hunt them down by any means necessary. If the world of sky demons does not appear, the masters from the Blue Star Group will stand by and watch.
Over time, this situation has been formed. The world of demons seems to be happy with this, and everyone is still testing and learning from each other.
Slight traces of cultivation have been found in the recently captured Sky Demon prisoners - traces of refining energy. The Sky Demon world is actually studying cultivation techniques.
Of course, the entire Blue Star Group is not worried about "completely switching to practice" in the Sky Demon World. There is no aura in the Sky Demon World, so if you want to change your cultivation method, you basically don't have to think about it.
But what if they draw parallels? What if they refer to the revised usage to improve their own exercises? This possibility no longer exists, but is happening now!
Facing the extremely difficult Zhoutian World, the Heavenly Demon World is learning everything about Zhoutian World, especially cultivation and science and technology.
At present, the world of Tianyao has learned some scientific ideas and rudimentary technologies, and uses these to improve their combat techniques.
Blue Star Group is accumulating strength, and so is the opponent. No one is a fool. In a military competition, it is like walking a tightrope on a cliff. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. But everyone needs to continue walking the tightrope, at least Blue Star Group still needs time.
!
Fortunately, the Demon Saint suffered too much last time. Not only did he almost die, but 11 of his Heavenly King-level demons (Daluo Jinxian) were lost. The overall military strength suffered a serious loss, and he did not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.
After Zhang Hao completely sorted out the situation at the Gate of the World, he began to arrange the second thing, which was the trade war.
The trade war has officially begun, and Zhang Hao needs to be concerned about various related tasks, especially the division of interests between the parties. What is more important is the beginning of the trade war.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, although Zhang Hao must make adjustments according to the reactions of Tianshui Empire and Tian'a Empire.
In fact, Zhang Hao should be on the front line, but due to various reasons, Zhang Hao had to stay in the rear.
Even if a super communication system has been set up now, it will still take a month for the signal to go back and forth from the Blue Star Group to the Minghui Empire and the western border of the Daxia Empire.
If the elixir trade were to be implemented in the Tianshui Empire, it would probably take more than two months for signals to come and go within the Tian'a Empire - the Tianshui Empire has not yet established ultra-high-speed communication technology.
Fortunately, the trade war is not a war, and the timeliness is less urgent; and the temporary transaction can be regarded as giving benefits to the Tianshui Empire and Tian'a Empire - fishing always requires bait. Besides, it is not that Blue Star Group has no one except Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao is more concerned with macro-control. When it comes to details, he still needs a specific person in charge.
In addition, Zhang Hao was waiting for Zhang Yinghao - Zhang Yinghao sent a message to Zhang Hao, saying that Prince Rui gave Zhang Hao an empire's wealth. Zhang Hao was curious about what this was.
Zhang Yinghao used Da Luo Jinxian's means to move forward; according to Da Luo Jinxian's speed, after Zhang Hao received the information, it is estimated that another month or so would be enough. I don't know what it is.
It is impossible to say that Zhang Hao is not curious; if Zhang Yinghao can personally say that it is the wealth of an empire or a gift from Prince Rui himself, then he will definitely not be lying.
However, Zhang Hao also had a guess: the gift from Prince Rui was not from the Emperor of the Minghui Empire, so this 'wealth' must have nothing to do with the country, noble title, etc.
Zhang Hao has not had direct contact with Prince Rui, but Bai Ye and Huang Wentian have. There is indirect cooperation between Zhang Hao and Prince Rui. Therefore, Zhang Hao still has some understanding of Prince Rui.
Since Prince Rui gave himself such 'wealth', it must be useful! It must not be a blank check or something like a dragon horn that can only be seen but not used.
In addition, considering the current situation of Dayang Group, even good things cannot be kept.
Is it difficult? What did Prince Rui send?
Unique technique?
A promise?
Or is it some special elixir?
Or what kind of slaves - there are methods in the interstellar to refine masters into slaves.
Zhang Hao was thoughtful and full of expectations.
Calculating the time, Zhang Yinghao will arrive in more than twenty days; Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a little excited.
…………
By the way, while Zhang Hao was excited here, far away in the Red River Empire, the third prince, Xing Sichengde, was also extremely excited.
After more than a month of arrangements, everything is ready.
Just three minutes ago, he finally gave the order: Take action!
If you continue to break up, you will be subject to chaos, especially... a coup!
Yes, the third prince planned a coup, and it only took more than a month; to be precise, from the finalization of the plan to the final execution, it only took about ten days.
The most fearful thing about a coup is long nights and many dreams. If you want to do it, just be quick. You won’t be able to reflect it, and others won’t be able to reflect it!
You can't make a coup until everyone knows about it. Even if it succeeds, it will definitely cause great damage. The third prince's coup is to seize power on the surface, but the ultimate goal is to strengthen the country, so he can use the method with the least loss.
It is of course better to achieve the goal.
But it is said that in the Red River Empire, in the area controlled by the royal family, there is a planet called Hongmen. This is also a gold selling cave, the largest gold selling cave in the Red River Empire. Of course, this is also a fallen world!
How degenerate has this place become? The Red River Empire has been divided into three, but here the three high-ranking princes can still keep each other's back.
In particular, some nobles in areas controlled by the royal family are basically treading two boats. They even regard Hongmen as a semi-public springboard for external contacts.
This time, the third prince personally invited 'representatives' from all parties to come. Among them were the second prince, the fourth prince, other princes, various nobles, etc.
The third prince purchased some blood and flesh of the Heavenly King-level demons from Dayang Group; not much, just ten tons, but just enough for the entire Red River Empire to have a taste. The flesh and blood of such demons can only be eaten even if they are not refined into elixirs.
All have unimaginable benefits.
In addition, there was about 1,500 grams of powder left after cutting the dragon horn. Although it was powder, it was also the powder of the demon holy dragon horn! I don’t know how many people’s eyes turned red.
Don’t think that because Dayang Group received two trunks with a length of more than 2,000 kilometers, it means that Quasi-Sage’s dragon horns are worthless.
Using these flesh and blood, plus the flesh and blood of some king-level sky demons, a large number of demon elixirs (dzi beads) of the sky demons, and a large number of medicinal materials unique to the sky demon world, an auction was held, and the entire Red and
empire.
In addition, the third prince also brought out some good things, and even collected a lot of treasures through auctions.
This auction is said to have a total value of all auction items exceeding one-tenth of the Red River Empire's fiscal revenue, and it is also dubbed the first auction of the Red River Empire.
Because it is located in an area controlled by the royal family, almost all the nobles came, and everyone regarded this place as a 'friendship exchange meeting'.
The dance music from the Tianyuan Star civilization has a bright and lively rhythm, and the short video played on the big screen is wonderful.
Except for the eldest prince, that is, the prince and the emperor, and a few officials and generals on duty, everyone is basically here.
At this time, the third prince's second butler, 'Qu Menchong', who suddenly appeared in the public eye recently, was greeting everyone warmly.
While they were drinking and drinking, Qu Menchong suddenly raised his hand and looked at his watch, then walked to the stage and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, the time is up, the time is coming soon!"
"When is the time?" The second prince drank some wine and walked a little sluggishly.
Qu Menchong said loudly: "The fleet transporting the auction items has arrived, and the Third Prince's Palace personally escorted it. The auction is about to begin. Are you ready?"
"Haha, that goes without saying!" cheers came and went.
Qu Menchong said loudly: "Then, let's count down together. There are still 60 seconds left!"
As he spoke, Qu Menchong switched the content on the screen, and the word countdown appeared; in the pattern at the back of the screen, the image of the demon saint, the king-level demon began to appear.
The atmosphere reached its peak for a while.
"Qu Menchong!" A pleasantly surprised female voice floated over.
Qu Menchong turned around and saw Qi Lian Liyun dressed in pearls. However, although Qi Lian Liyun was dressed in pearls at this time, she could not hide the kitsch aura that came from her bones.
Qi Lian Liyun threw away an old-looking monk next to her and rushed towards Qu Menchong in surprise.
However, at this time, Qu Menchong just looked at the other party coldly, turned to the security guard at the auction house and said, "Why are everyone let in?"
The security guard immediately stepped forward and used magic to push the screaming Qi Lian Liyun out.
The countdown is still on the big screen.
A smile reappeared on Qu Menchong's face: "Okay, a little aside, let us continue to wait for the miracle! There are still... 21 seconds, 20 seconds..."
But just when there were ten seconds left, someone suddenly said: "I feel uneasy in my heart. What about you?"
"When you tell me, I am the same. There is no countdown to the auction. Why does it feel like...death?"
"Nonsense! There are so many of us. And Qu Menchong is here too."
"Hey, that's right. You're overthinking it..."
Everyone has a herd mentality. Seeing so many people around and the enthusiastic dance music in the venue, everyone felt relieved again.
Two seconds are quickly left on the clock.
Qu Menchong waved his hand: "It's time, everyone, goodbye!"
Before he finished speaking, Qu Menchong's figure flashed and disappeared suddenly.
Everyone:......
Everyone was really shocked this time. Nima, didn’t you say that the third prince personally escorted you? Didn’t you say that the auction items would be arriving soon? Why did you leave?
Come back!
However, some people who reacted quickly activated the instant teleportation talismans and seals on their bodies, but they could only see the talismans burning and no movement.
"The surrounding space is sealed!" someone screamed.
