Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 471 Crossroads

The moonlight fell quietly along the window edge of the wing, reflecting on Xu Xinyao's bright, watery eyes.

Staring at her, for a moment, Xu Yuan felt that his heart was really moved.

Trying our best to reduce the size and expand the capacity is what energy has been doing.

He understood what Xu Xinyao meant when he mentioned the soul ring at this moment. The soul ring could carry old man Luo's soul, so naturally it could also carry weird things like monsters and ghosts constructed from soul power.

But soon, the excitement in Xu Yuan's heart quickly cooled down.

Putting aside the feasibility, Xu Yuan felt that Xu Xinyao really had a lot of ideas.

As a being that can accommodate the soul of a saint, if it is used to store demons, compared to a source crystal of the same volume, the energy it can hold is probably at least a thousand times that of the source crystal.

In the underground palace, a box of source crystal bombs made through special processing can blow up the transformed ghost in the center of the explosion. If it is replaced by a box of soul rings of the same size,

Immortal killing weapon.

Okay, the obscenity is over.

This is only theoretical.

Not to mention the extremely exquisite formation technique of Old Man Luo's soul ring, I am afraid that the materials alone may not be available now, and even if the cost can be found, it is simply not something that the Prime Minister's Mansion can afford at this stage.

not to mention.

"Third brother, are you worried about the materials?"

Xu Xinyao looked at Xu Yuan's eyes that gradually cooled down from the heartbeat, and whispered quickly:

"Although I haven't asked Senior Luo yet, the materials for making soul rings must be extremely precious, but we don't actually need to reproduce the soul rings one to one. There are countless treasures in the world, even if the materials for making soul rings are Even if it is extinct, a lower-level substitute can always be found. Even if the effect of the made soul nourishing ring is only one-tenth of the original one, or even one percent of the effect is enough."

Listening to Xu Xinyao's sales pitch, Xu Yuan pondered for a while, chuckled and shook his head.

By the moonlight and the inscription lamp in the room, looking at the girl's bright and flawless face, Xu Yuan smiled and said:

"You should tell your father this."

"." Xu Xinyao pursed her thin lips and fell into silence.

Seeing the expression of the fourth sister in front of him, Xu Yuan understood instantly.

It was obvious that she had told her father about this.

"Rejected?" Xu Yuan said softly, then shook his head: "Oh no, father will not reject you directly, he should say let him think about it."

Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes when she heard this and said in a low voice: "Yeah."

When she made this discovery, she immediately found her father, but his father just said to think about it and let her have a good rest.

Xu Yuan lightly tapped the table with his fingertips and said ambiguously:

"Actually, if the matter you mentioned had been ten years earlier or ten years later, my father would definitely have agreed. After all, he has always attached great importance to the study of things."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"But at this juncture, it is impossible for my father to agree."

Xu Xinyao suddenly raised her eyes and said in a somewhat unwilling voice:

"There are many money-burning projects in the Gewuyuan, and the value of this soul-nurturing ring must be much higher than those important ones!"

"You're right."

Xu Yuan nodded and followed Xu Xinyao's words with a hint of comfort: "If it succeeds, this will be an unprecedented innovation for Dayan."

"Then why."

“Because of the investment and dedication, and it’s too late.”

"." Xu Xinyao looked at her with stubborn eyes.

She firmly believed that her idea was right.

If successful, various formations, various civilian facilities, agricultural products, and even travel tools that could not be realized in the past due to huge energy consumption will usher in earth-shaking changes.

After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan said softly and softly:

"There are only a limited number of formation masters and weapon refiners in the Gokuyuan who can participate in your research. If they are transferred to you, it will inevitably affect the progress of the original project in hand."

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao's expression became a little strange and she bit her lip gently.

Xu Yuan snorted softly when he saw this:

"Yes, the research on war instruments and formations will be affected by your project."

But when he said this, the corners of Xu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of teasing:

“It’s not shameful to have ideals, but at least you have to be practical.

"Even if the original intention of the developers is not this, all new technologies will be used in the military field first. No one should know this better than you."

"elder brother!"

Xu Xinyao gritted her teeth and stared at Xu Yuan with a hint of sullenness in her watery eyes.

"Xin Yao."

Xu Yuan ignored the other party, gently leaned on the back of the chair behind him, crossed his legs, and continued unhurriedly:

"You can imagine what would happen if the soul-nurturing ring you want to make now is used in the military?"

"."

Looking at each other for two seconds, Xu Xinyao looked away angrily:

"No matter what you do, you can use it to kill people."

Xu Yuan chuckled and continued:

"It's just a matter of fact. If you really succeed in this matter, many new weapons will be developed accordingly. To say the least, the military pattern repeating crossbow will now have a charging object like the soul nourishing ring. In the end, its power will become more powerful, its killing efficiency will become higher, and even greater."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan lightly knocked on the mahogany desk in front of him and smiled slightly:

"If we could produce a soul-nurturing ring the size of this table, with just one, the entire Di'an City would be incinerated."

After the words fell, the room was silent.

Xu Yuan stared at the girl opposite and chuckled:

"Even so, do you still want to insist on studying this project?"

Xu Xinyao's bright eyes became cloudy and uncertain.

It was quiet for a long time before Xu Xinyao's voice sounded faintly:

"In this case, why would father reject me?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised:

"Even so, are you willing to continue doing it?"

"Anyway, whatever I do, you will use it for military purposes." After saying that, Xu Xinyao became quiet for a while and said in a faint tone:

"And if it really had that kind of power, perhaps many fewer people would die on the battlefield."

"."

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect Xu Xinyao to say such words, nor did he expect that she could realize the possible consequences of such a weapon in an instant.

But then he sighed in his heart.

Because it's a pity that this is not the previous life.

Every saint is a human-shaped nuclear weapon, and Xu Yuan did not see the war stop its approach because of the presence of saints.

Even if soul-nurturing rings can be mass-produced, the war cannot stop because of this weapon called "soul-nurturing rings".

When they were in the underground palace, the reason why that box of source crystal bombs was able to blow up the mortal ghost half to death was entirely because it had no intelligence.

If it were any other normal metamorphosis powerhouse, there would be a hundred ways to avoid it.

"I'm just talking about the best-case scenario."

Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered: "This kind of thing can effectively kill high-level cultivators."

"But it can be used on the battlefield." Xu Xinyao suddenly said.

"." Xu Yuan blinked.

"The super-large military formation may not be able to be broken, but it should be possible with a scale of ten thousand people. Then it can be used to open up strategic nodes." Xu Xinyao's voice had a hint of urgency.

"It's too expensive and I can't afford it."

Xu Yuan immediately denied it: "If this method was effective, the master of the battlefield would have been the Source Crystal Bomb instead of the current military formation."

"elder brother!"

Xu Xinyao stood up slightly and raised her voice, interrupting Xu Yuan: "There will always be military use!"

"."

Xu Yuan was silent, staring at the other party with strange eyes.

military?

He never thought that one day he would hear such words from the mouth of the fourth sister of the Holy Mother.

After realizing her dangerous words, Xu Xinyao suddenly fell into silence.

After a long time, Xu Xinyao softly sounded in the quiet room:

"In your eyes, am I stupid?"

Xu Yuan's eyes looked unclear, he touched his chin, and instead of answering, he asked:

"Do you understand the reality?"

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao trembled slightly, put her hands on her knees and tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and showed a smile that looked like she was crying:

"When I talked about this with my father, I saw the contents of the memorial in his hand.

"Because of the war with the sect, the Northland was filled with blood, tens of millions of people died, and the victims were in the hundreds of millions.

"The general trend is already like this,

“哥

"Don't you think that everything I did before is ridiculous in the face of father's plan?"

The side room is silent and the incense is lingering.

Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.

He felt that his father definitely did it on purpose, and his purpose was obviously achieved.

in silence,

Xu Yuan stood up slowly, walked to the girl's side, raised his hand and gently pressed her trembling shoulder:

"You didn't cause this, so why should you be sad?"

"Why not?!"

Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes, her fingertips embedded into the flesh of her thighs through her skirt, and her voice seemed to have been suppressed for a long time:

“We, the Prime Minister’s Office, are one of the initiators and also have vested interests!!”

"."

After Xu Yuan heard this, the scene of Xu Xinyao betraying the Prime Minister in "Cang Yuan" subconsciously appeared in his mind because it was too similar.

[So, our prime minister is the initiator of all this? 】

This is the question she asked in "Cangyuan".

In "Cang Yuan", Xu Xinyao's betrayal is a very long process.

From the first time he knew that the initiator of the war was his father, to the refugees who saw the war with their own eyes, to the desperate cries of countless people when they saw the Black Scale Army slaughtering the city.

After going through more than ten plots, she finally fell to the sect's side.

The moment the thought occurred, Xu Yuan suppressed it.

He knew very well that Xu Xinyao was very confused now and needed someone to guide her.

The order and time of appearance of characters are very important.

In "Cang Yuan", when the four sisters received this information, they were followed by the plot protagonist Qin Mo and a group of people from the sect.

With guidance along the way, she successfully went astray.
