Chapter 1624

"It's called 'green soft crystal'. It's a very common crystal. It can be burned with psionic power. The ignition point is 525 degrees. It has very good stability. It's often used in defensive and stable arrays."

Li Yaodao said, "because it is stable enough and has excellent fusion, it can be used in refining many magic weapons. Basically, all craftsmen will carry one or two with them."

Cui Lingfeng is slightly stunned and looks at Li Yao in an unknown way.

"But my" green soft crystal "is not the stock of firefly, but purchased from dragon and snake star. Here, it's not called" green soft crystal ", but" bimangjing. "

Li Yao said seriously, "do you understand what I mean, speaker? In Xinghai Republic, it's called "green soft crystal"; in Xingyao Federation, it's called "bimangjing". But for me, I don't care about its name at all. I only care about whether it's the kind of material I want, and whether it has the nature and function I need! "

"No matter it's called 'green soft crystal' or 'blue light crystal', its properties will not change at all. Its permeability is still around 79%, its ignition point is 525 degrees, and its hardness, brittleness, fusibility and function are all the same!"

"So, when I need to do an experiment, just to use such a material, what is its name and what does it matter?"

"On the other hand, in fact, there is a kind of material called" green soft crystal "in Xingyao Federation, but it is quite different from what we call" green soft crystal "in nature and function. Can I use Xingyao Federation's" green soft crystal "to carry out extremely dangerous experiments just because their names are the same?"

Cui Lingfeng was slightly stunned and fell into deep thinking.

"I don't have much contact with politics at ordinary times, and I don't quite understand the topic you just debated. Those things are too vague for me."

Li Yao thought for a long time and continued, "but if I really want to make a choice, I think what captain Tang said is reasonable."

"The Republic of Xinghai is certainly a great country. We have countless proud histories and lamentable heroes. Even in the past 1000 years, the struggle between us and the Empire has been a tortuous, bizarre and stirring legend. It is an absolute miracle!"

"Therefore, if we can" inject "these proud histories, so many lamentable heroes and miracles of the past 1000 years into the Xingyao Federation, so that the Xingyao federation can fully inherit the spirit and philosophy of the Xinghai Republic, and the people of the Xingyao federation can regard our history as their history, and our heroes as their heroes, Our miracle is also their miracle. Isn't it more important than simply changing its name? As long as the nature is the same, it doesn't matter whether it's called "green soft crystal" or "blue light crystal."

"Since it doesn't matter --"

Cui Lingfeng frowned and said, "why can't we call it 'lvroujing' as we call it?"

"Well, because..."

Li Yaofei blinked quickly, "because the Xingyao Federation keeps its original name, which has greater practical benefits than renamed Xinghai Republic!"

"Oh?"

Cui Lingfeng used to take "Professor Rhode" as the object of talk, but he didn't expect that he could really say why, "what's the 'practical benefit'"

"Speaker, you see, now all kinds of media on firefly are analyzing the coming war. Even I, who don't care much about national affairs, can often hear a few words."

Li Yaodao said, "but I find that everyone's discussion of the situation is limited to how to deal with the imperial expeditionary force, namely the black wind fleet. It seems that if we defeat the black wind fleet, everything will be OK."

"But I don't think it's right. The black wind fleet is just an expeditionary force of the Empire. The human Empire has stolen hundreds of worlds of our Xinghai Republic, with more than 100000 star ships under its command and countless high-level friars!"

"Even if we really defeat the black wind fleet, as long as the human Empire thinks that our threat is big enough and wants to destroy us at all costs, we can send another" white wind fleet "," yellow wind fleet "," purple wind fleet ", red orange, red, green, blue and purple, waves of expeditionary forces to fight in turn, no matter how strong our" spirit "is, It's just a human Empire, right? "

"That's right."

Cui Lingfeng thought deeply, "go on."

"The reason why the real Empire didn't do its best to sweep the edge of the star sea is that they were entangled by the covenant alliance in the middle of the star sea."

Li Yaodao said, "in the eyes of the Empire, it is the most important thing to compete with the Holy Alliance for the hegemony of the central part of the Xinghai sea, and it is only a trivial matter to sweep away the" small and wild countries "on the border of the Xinghai sea. Therefore, we can get a chance to breathe and develop secretly."

"Suppose now that we have defeated the black wind fleet in the name of the" star shining Federation "and the news reaches the imperial capital, tianjixing, perhaps the Empire will still regard us as a relatively strong" small and wild country ". When dealing with us, it will weigh the pros and cons, calculate the gains and losses, and it is unlikely to draw out the elite forces to fight against us, Even after calculating that the cost of expeditionary and occupation is too high and that the gains may not be worth the losses, there will be thoughts of negotiation, buying and soliciting, right? "

"In history, no central dynasty has ever been able to completely wipe out the small and wild countries around it, and the human empire is no exception."

"However, if we were to defeat the black wind fleet in the name of the" star sea Republic ", it would be totally different."

"For the real Empire, the Republic of Xinghai is the former dynasty, and their process of stealing the power of the former dynasty is not very glorious. We will always be a thorn in the throat of the Empire, like a lump in the throat!"

"In the Xinghai border, we found an unknown small country, which might be tolerated by the Empire; It's a threat that can't be tolerated. It's shaking the "national foundation" of the human empire

"At that time, the human Empire would send out, at all costs, the" red, orange, red, green, blue and purple "expeditionary forces that I said just now to wipe out the" remaining evils of the former dynasty. "

"To sum up, what I mean is that the name" Xingyao Federation "is relatively low-key, and" Xinghai Republic "is too high-key. We are so weak now that we really don't need to care about these false names. It's serious to find a way to survive first!"

Cui Lingfeng stared at Li Yao with deep eyes. He didn't know whether he was listening to Li Yao's words or thinking about some other problems. He suddenly said, "I didn't expect that Professor Rhode is not only an outstanding alchemist, but also has such a strategic vision."

Li Yao: "Er, I usually watch some political comments from the media as a way to relax and exercise my mind when I'm refining my weapons."

Cui Lingfeng: "really?"

Li Yao glanced at the big bear bodyguards with indifferent faces on both sides. Just as he didn't know how to deal with it, the vacuum pipe car trembled slightly and seemed to slide to the exit.

"Here we are, speaker."

Cheng xuansu got out of the car first, helped them gently open the door from the outside, and four bodyguards took Cui Lingfeng and Li Yao out of the car.

But outside, it was not like "battle Castle No.1", but an abandoned station with dim lights, rusty spots and empty.

I don't know where the rusty wind comes from, which makes it feel a bit ghostly here.

"Shua! Shua Shua

Behind Li Yao and Cui Lingfeng, the four big bear bodyguards all quietly summoned the crystal armor and turned into four ferocious iron beasts.

The three crystal eyes on Cheng xuansu's left face were as red as if they were about to drip blood. The secret police chief drew a large caliber Mini arrow blaster from his waist and stared at Cui Lingfeng without expression.

When you say nothing at all.

Cui Lingfeng looked at the surrounding environment for a while, trembled slightly, understood, his face was bleak, and said, "aren't you Cheng xuansu?"

"No

The secret police chief lowered his head to adjust the crystal agitation frequency of the arrow blaster. He said faintly, "I'm Cheng xuansu. I'm not being replaced by someone else."

"It's impossible. Anyone on the firefly may be an immortal, but you can't!"

Cui Lingfeng seemed to have been bombarded by the imperial fleet, and his whole body was engulfed by the invisible flame. "Your father is the biggest hero of the firefly for a thousand years. He led us to break through the encirclement again and again from hundreds of times of the Imperial Army's encirclement and interception. If it wasn't for his final heroic sacrifice, we couldn't have come to this day!"

"You are his daughter. How can you be an immortal? How can you surrender to the Empire?"

Cheng xuansu laughed, as cold as a starship shell in the dark sea of stars: "that man is not my father, but my sperm provider. You extracted his sperm stored in the depths of the Starship after 278 years of his death, and gave birth to me - he has nothing to do with me."

"Why?"

Cui Lingfeng said, "do you want to do this?"

"You forced us."

Cheng xuansu said, "originally, we didn't intend to kill you. You are a very useful shield. You can stabilize the situation on the firefly as much as possible before the arrival of the black wind fleet. It's up to you to control the Xingyao Federation. It's strange that you are so suspicious that you have come up with a method of randomly selecting an artificer to check the lie detector, And our... Professor Rhode, whose professional level is too high, really sees the flaw - we have no choice but to make such a bad decision. "

Cui Lingfeng raised his voice: "I'm asking you why you want to betray your father, betray the glory of Xinghai Republic, and take refuge in the real empire!"
