Chapter 1,176 A Pile of Living Treasures

The analysis and research on the original body is still continuing, and Tavel has postponed some less important research and development work specifically for this purpose in order to allocate manpower to support this research team. Looking at this posture, they are likely to collect every single piece of the original body's remains. A battle to number all elementary particles: In fact, they are almost already doing this. All components in the remains of the original body are now included in the analysis agenda. The next step is to completely dismantle him - of course, this It was all out of research needs. After ascertaining the missing data during the evolution of the original body, they had to restore the samples and properly preserve them. The huge cube that was originally used as a dormancy facility has now been dismantled into pieces. The ground parts, I expect it will also appear in the museum in the near future.

In fact, we all know that the research on the original body will not play any role in promoting the existing technology of the empire. It is too ancient. Although the technology used can be called "lost technology", it has no impact on the current Xiling civilization. Words were worthless, and the components on the Primarch were inefficient and crappy. To Imperial scientists, it was like a 21st-century scientist on Earth facing a medieval water-powered mill. Therefore, from the beginning, the Primarch was The research is not to obtain any technology, but to supplement the many missing links in the historical records of Xiling Apostle. The Xiling Apostles are a race that attaches great importance to reality and pays little attention to the so-called "cultural development", but this does not mean that they are indifferent to the history and some spiritual construction of their own race. This has been created since the old empire has been trying to trace back It can be seen from the history of the emperor that Xiling Apostle also attaches great importance to his origin: although this will not bring military and comprehensive national strength benefits to the empire.

The emergence of the original body excited the researchers and also caused quite a stir among all the Xiling apostles. Sandora has ordered that the information on the discovery of the original body be uploaded to the public network, and every Xiling apostle has obtained After hearing this news, the traffic of the Empire's data network almost doubled in the past thirty minutes. It has only gradually calmed down now. I can understand their excitement. But what’s more depressing is that I feel like I’m being left out.

Well, actually there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the title of emperor on my head was actually picked up halfway. I cannot empathize with the "original body" like an original apostle like Sandora - In fact, this is nothing. In this way, I can be in a better state of calm and think about other equally important things.

For example, the fourth civilization, such as the fallen apostles. For example - those Merova rebels who have been ordered to be exterminated by Sandora.

No matter what the original purpose of the Merova people was, they have now successfully touched all the bottom lines of the empire, stealing the empire's property, erasing the empire's emblems, and now even attacking the empire's ancestral graves, using various postures to commit suicide. Five stars. It has reached a point where it is completely impossible to turn a blind eye to it.

But what is depressing is that the empire may not have the extra energy to exterminate them in a short period of time: the place where the Merova people appear is too far away, God knows how they got all the way to such a far place, that ghost place is in the void In the depths, even the Protoss can't reach it. If we want to wipe out those rebels now, we must form a large-scale expeditionary force for this purpose. Traveling a long distance to fight an expeditionary battle without logistical support consumes things that are not comparable to those in a local war, and we don't know the current strength of the Merova people. I don’t know what scale of power they have developed there: although the data shows that the Merova fleet cannot be compared with the empire, it is by no means so easy to destroy by sending three or two squadrons there. Our expedition After the army passes, there should be a somewhat protracted battle. To sum up, attacking the Merova rebels now will greatly weaken the empire's local power.

Opposite us, the fallen apostles are still watching eagerly.

Fallen Apostles, Fallen Apostles, this group of enemies is the biggest threat to the empire now, with constant contact. The two sides have gradually figured out their respective territories. And in a special place like the void, we understand each other's world coordinates. It means that their respective territories are getting closer and closer: it can be said that the fallen apostles and the new empire are now almost at war with each other, and the slightest contact will be a fierce battle. In this case, the Merova people who suddenly jumped out are undoubtedly the most disturbing Gritting your teeth, as if you were carrying a huge boulder risking your life, and suddenly a fly landed on your face - in the name of jingle, do you scratch it or not?

It was this situation that prevented us from sending troops when we first discovered that the Merova people were suspected of rebelling. It has been delayed until today. And even today, I find that I still cannot easily make the decision to destroy those rebels...

No matter what, one thing is certain, the empire will never let go of traitors, let alone traitors who have the guts to come back and desecrate the remains of imperial soldiers after treason. With the level of death of the Merova people, even if we temporarily Without sending troops, they will only be able to breathe for a few more days: my headache now is how to stop them from breathing as soon as possible.

Just like that, I returned home from the Shadow City with a lot of worries. I found that the house was actually very quiet: Qian Qian, who is usually the most noisy, and a bunch of kids didn't even act crazy in the living room. This is really not appropriate. What are the biological clocks of those big and small witches?

"Bingtis came up with the idea to go shopping, and Qianqian led a group of young people to follow her out." My sister walked over from the balcony. She knew what I was thinking when she saw my face, so she took the initiative to explain.

I turned around to look at the setting sun outside: "... Two hundred and fifty, are you going shopping at this hour?"

"Bingtis and Qianqian come together, you still expect to be able to do something like this," my sister also had a helpless expression, and then came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Take off your outer clothes, I'm just doing laundry, here you go. Washed together."

I agreed casually and took off my coat and handed it over: Although there is a hard-working little maid at home, my sister still likes to do housework when she has nothing to do. Maybe she will never get rid of this habit of hers. Just like Qianqian will never realize that she is already a royal relative who can afford to live in a palace and drive a spaceship. I like the unshakeable and calm character of my family very much, although it occasionally makes me very distressed...

My sister looked at me strangely: "I have something on my mind again... I'll tell my sister about it later. I'll go do the laundry first. By the way, have you checked your pockets?"

"Uh, oh." I responded casually, sat down on the sofa, and began to think about national affairs. There was a faint sound of rushing water from the water room, and then the sound of the washing machine spinning (saying that many things can be done with more high-tech means, but my sister just likes the things that are already easy to use, such as washing machines and microwave ovens. "Antique" electrical appliances, and they seem to be very happy with them, is this an unexpected cuteness?) After a while, my thinking was interrupted by a short exclamation.

My sister ran out of the water room and put a wet little thing on the coffee table: "Didn't I ask you to empty your pockets?!"

I looked down. Dingdang, who was soaked all over, was crawling around on the coffee table in a daze. When he noticed the gaze coming from above, the little thing raised his head and smiled at me in a daze, opened his mouth and spit out a bubble... His whole body was full of the smell of washing powder.

Me: "...Dingdang, what's wrong with you?!"

"The mid-range turned for three minutes." My sister took out a handkerchief and wrapped Dingdang. "Don't talk about Dingdang yet. What's wrong with you?"

"Sister, you didn't watch the broadcast on the public channel, did you?" I said while helping Dingdang wipe the water droplets on his wings. In the process, the little thing kept spitting bubbles, which may mean something bad is happening. Things: Either the little guy is already stupid, or Ding Dong has awakened a very curious interest. Considering that no matter how stupid Ding Dong is, there is no possibility of further stupidity, I think it is very likely to be the latter - it is necessary to strictly monitor him in the future to prevent this. The little one secretly ate washing powder.

I told my sister about the discovery of the "Primarch". Then he mentioned the rebels in Melova. Of course, he also mentioned the military strength and expedition issues that were a headache for him. My sister nodded while listening, and finally asked suddenly: "In your opinion, under the current circumstances, should we Should we launch an expedition against the Merova people? We only consider the objective conditions and don’t care about anything else. Do you think we can send troops?"

"Of course not." I shook my head decisively. "Originally, the troops on the front line are already tight, and the fallen apostles are dragging down as many as 2,500,000 to 80,000. At this time, if at least one of the main troops in the country is sent to go on an expedition, the death index will not be lower than that of the Merova people."

"That's enough." Sister pulled the handkerchief out of Dingdang's mouth, but the little guy didn't want to let go, so he hung it in the air and started spinning. "We can let them rest for a few more days, waiting for the situation with the fallen apostle. After stabilizing, we can find time to deal with them. However, if possible, it is best to send some void reconnaissance ships there. Now that we have mastered the coordinates of the Fifth Fleet's refuge home, the Melova people should be active nearby. It is also beneficial to first determine the other party’s background before alarming them.”

My sister is right. Basically, the best plan now is this: first send some reconnaissance ships to investigate the situation of the Merova people. Considering that the reconnaissance journey is far away and the possibility of accidents is high, perhaps I should order the formation of a special force composed of high-precision unmanned reconnaissance ships to spy on the Merova people. This should not consume much energy.

At this time, my sister seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, where is Lin Xue? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"I met Fina on the way back, and we are probably still chatting." I waved my hand, but as soon as I finished speaking, a portal appeared in the living room, and the eldest lady's energetic voice came from inside: "Ah ho. ,I'm back!"

Then a forest snow beast jumped out from the door: she appeared on time.

Immediately behind Lin Xue, a little girl jumped out, wearing a white princess dress, with long hair, jumping up and down like a restless bird. As soon as she came out, she pounced directly in my direction: "Ga! Master! Little girl!" The bird is back!"

"Uh oh - belly... belly..." I gasped and pushed the startled silly bird out of my arms. The latter blinked his big, smart eyes and looked at me happily. A mini Medivh emerged from her hair, making a series of chirping sounds, and then the two little crows at home who had become involved with Ding Dong and who had been forgotten by their mother at home never knew which horn was in the corner. He got out, flew happily to the little crow, and disappeared in a flash.

...The first thing that came to mind was how to get rid of the lice on the Bull Demon King?

I pinched Little Crow's face and found a shiny collar around the little girl's neck. It was made of metal and embedded with a blue crystal that gave off a faint light. It seemed that this was the experts from the institute. The result of several days of work: I sent Little Crow to the Shadow City in the first place just to let the experts see if there was any way to deal with her urge to hatch eggs.

"How is this used?" I glanced at the eldest lady. Since she was the one who brought the little guy back, she must know about this collar. The latter replied: "Don't worry, it's a passive equipment. Those experts discovered that the arcane energy emitted by the little crow when hatching eggs is limited to a special wave band. They made a converter specifically for this band, which is around her neck. collar, this converter will only absorb the excess energy and store it, which can serve as an emergency battery when the bird needs it, so that it will not affect her normal life and development - by the way, experts also believe that this The bird's growth rate is too fast. Although it seems to have no side effects on her, I'm afraid her collar will have to be upgraded at least two or three times in the future."

"Oh. That's okay. The little crow can't grow forever anyway." I patted Medivh's head, and the little guy immediately came up to rub it happily: "Wearing this, it feels much more comfortable!"

Isn't it more comfortable... I used to hold back every day because of overgrowth, and I could only look for eggs to hatch everywhere, but now I finally have a release channel. It seems that the little guy is very satisfied with his collar. Well, since that's the case, let's forgive Xiaoxue's sin of being a naughty child, even though her original motive of teaching a little crow to hatch eggs was purely to trick her father...

"By the way, did you get into any trouble before you put on the collar?" I asked worriedly, shuddering when I thought of the little guy hatching a schizoite from a ping-pong ball. She couldn't control her instinct to hatch eggs at all. She was in the research institute. Did you really not come into contact with anything spherical?

"No...no!" The little guy immediately turned his head and shouted in a panic.

Me: "...Girl Lin! What did she hatch?"

"It's just that it almost hatched." Lin Xue waved her hands in confusion, "Do you still remember the prison host that evolved due to the influence of the little bubble? It goes to the research institute for follow-up inspections every week: Those experts are Analyze how long the catalytic ability of the small bubble can last. It turned out that the last time I went to check it, it was discovered by the little crow - something almost happened, but fortunately the staff found it and repaired it in time."

I quickly wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, thinking that I had forgotten that there was a psychotic host in Shadow City who claimed to be the main god... Oh, no, I felt very strange: "Didn't that host get kicked into pieces by the Pandora sisters last time? Is it okay? Then it doesn’t look like an egg.”

Miss Lin raised her forehead with her hand: "Our bird thought it was a double-yolk egg..."

I:"……"

Suddenly I feel that this stupid little bird is so cute. It has a double yolk egg. How do you think of her?

At this time, there was a knock on the door at the entrance, and Yakumo Lan stretched out and wandered in leisurely. He looks lazy, degenerate, lazy and has no regrets in life. Needless to say, this guy must have been basking in the sun all day in the yard as usual: at most, he knitted gloves and scarves for his family while basking in the sun. This is her biggest workload. Since leaving the evil exploiter Yakumo Murasaki, this originally industrious and busy nine-tailed fox fairy has almost instantly degenerated into a lazy guy who eats, sleeps and basks in the sun: From this you can imagine why Lan is so happy to She has abandoned her original owner. She doesn’t have to work in my house! And you can still interact with Zi when you go back!

If Zi's mother...well, Zi's sister sees that her fox reports to her on daily basis and "hard-working, assisting and conscientious" at the boss's house, she has such a moral character, I don't know what her expression will be.

At this time, Lan was slowly squirming towards the fruit plate on the coffee table. Suddenly he became excited, his tail twitched one by one as if he were opening his tail, and then he cast a suspicious look over - he is indeed a wild animal, so sensitive. , I haven’t said anything yet!

"Lan, can you do some work occasionally?" I tried to communicate with this fox who had almost no role other than eating. In my impression, this demon fox girl was still very gentle and obedient, but the other party thought for a long time. , wagging his tail and holding back a sentence: "Okay, next time I'm basking in the sun, I'll help you sweep the porch: use my tail."

This means that I won’t even bother walking when I go out to bask in the sun in the future, so why not just go out? !

Zima, come and see your fox quickly! She has undergone an incredible mutation!

"Phew - so comfortable, so relaxed, so happy... it turns out that life without work is so pleasant," Lan skillfully rolled an apple from the fruit plate with his tail, then curled up on the sofa next to me, "Although Lady Zi is very nice, there is really a lot of work around her... Now that the big barrier no longer needs to be maintained, and the monsters are also being watched, it's time to retire... Oh, this apple is so good! Eat it I feel like my whole body is full of strength!”

"Ding Dang planted Golden Apple No. 2. Its predecessor almost tricked Hercules to death. Do you think it is not powerful?" I reached out and pinched the fox girl's furry ears. "You are not as useful as Cirno." , at least that idiot still knows how to be a refrigerator."

Lan's ears twitched, she avoided my hand, and then handed over the half-eaten apple: "Okay, okay, I'll give you this. It's stained with the saliva of the nine-tailed demon fox. If you eat it, you will have good luck."

I:"……"

After a lot of tossing, I finally lost my temper. I felt that this big fox had entered a hopeless state due to my continuous indulgence. This is what Zi said sincerely when he entrusted her to me. That sentence: Monsters are evil beasts that are difficult to control - what does it really mean?
