Monarch of Evernight: The Forgotten People of 294

bsp;Lan Xincheng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I can only give you one kind at most, and only one. Unless you are willing to take out the original crystal."

"The original crystal is not worth this price." Qianye smiled slightly.

"The original crystal in your hand..."

"I think you already have a rough idea of ​​the properties of those raw crystals, and you should have expectations."

When Qianye was condensing the original crystals, Ji Tianqing and others were all present, and they didn’t know that the properties of the remaining three original crystals were no secret. In addition to the high-grade raw crystal condensed at the beginning, the super-grade raw crystal condensed by Dawn Qiming is of great use even to **** generals, and the super-grade raw crystal formed by sweeping the blood stars and some dark stars is even more useful. It is a terrifying ability with a vampire constitution, which can enable the recipient to cross the threshold of many powerful and peerless inheritances.

The latter two kinds of raw crystals have never appeared before, and I'm afraid there won't be many in the future. It is simply impossible to price based on the previous original crystal. Lan Xincheng knew that his little thoughts had been seen through, so he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to give it, the military department can give you the latest cruiser in exchange."

Cruiser battleship is the latest type of ship developed by the empire. It is between battleship and cruiser. It has both firepower and speed, which weakens the defense. The cruiser battleship was built to deal with the latest high-speed hunting destroyer of the demon race. Both the equipment and power weapons are the latest generation products.

The Tianyun-class power sails and Houtu-class engines that Qianye wants belong to the previous generation of cruise-class floating battleship equipment, while the Luan-class main gun is the main gun of the battleship, which is also the design of the previous generation, and the brand-new cruise ship Foreign warships are not the same.

Qianye was a little curious, "How many cruisers like this do the empire have in total?"

"Three ships." Lan Xincheng said expressionlessly.

"Isn't it enough?" Qianye smiled.

"The two ships of the imperial fleet cannot be moved, and the ship of the outer domain fleet can be given later."

The Outland Fleet is the fleet that guards the borders of the empire. Its combat power is powerful, second only to the Imperial Guard Fleet. The general number is between three and eight.

In the fleet, the new high-speed cruiser can be used as the flagship. If it reaches a neutral ground, it will be a situation where one ship will annihilate the entire fleet.

"It's really a big investment. Why don't you use it this time?"

"It hasn't been negotiated yet. There are many people involved in such a big matter, so we have to talk for a while." Lan Xincheng paused, looked at Qianye again, and finally made up his mind to reveal more secrets: "This time I heard Speaking of the two super-grade raw crystals you condensed, several marshals were moved, and it was also related to the further path of two of them. But what the empire can currently offer in exchange is a new cutting-edge ship. The battleship is still under discussion."

The word "deliberation" here is far less gentle than it seems. Super armament is related to the balance of regional combat power, and the personal strength of a commander-level expert means the rise and fall of factions, which affects the whole body, nothing more than this.

Hearing this, Qianye understood that when Lan Xincheng comes again next time, he will probably be able to come up with a definite plan.

Fang Zhan said at this time: "Sir Qianye, maybe people from aristocratic families will come over in a while. No matter what conditions they promise, you have to hold on. Cruisers can only be obtained by the military. You have to come out, and we should bring it with you when we come next time. Just tell you that the things will be delivered after a while, and ignore them."

Qianye laughed and said: "I know."

What Fang Zhan said is correct. Perhaps only the military has the ability to bring all the chips to a neutral place and then slowly pick things up. This feeling is like driving a truck full of imperial gold coins to go shopping. It does not give the other party any room to worry about payment and credit issues.

Sent off Lan Xincheng and Fang Zhan, Qianye explained the affairs of Nan Qingcheng, and then personally took two cargo ships loaded with Shanyue-class engines and Strider-class main guns to set sail and fly to the Hokuriku.

Hokuriku has become much more prosperous. The construction of the two towns has begun to take shape, and the construction of Yiying Workshop has been completed. Most of them can be started, and the remaining ones have begun to debug equipment. Song Zining has sent more than a thousand people, becoming a force not weaker than the Gaohu people.

The Gaohu people are still arriving one after another. They are natural craftsmen and warriors, and they are also the main force of the first guard force in the Hokuriku. Although no one knows the existence of Hokuriku yet, this secret cannot be kept forever, and it is still necessary to form an army in advance.

Outside the town, the Hall of Valor is resting on the ground, undergoing new renovations.

When Qianye was trapped in the maelstrom, the Hall of Valor was floating in the void, absorbing the force of the void on its own. With the heart as the core, new flesh and blood bodies continue to grow along the ribs, forming a natural outer wall. Some of the places where the ship's hull was originally built were covered with new bodies, integrated into it, and became one.

Whether it is the human race or the dark race, the steel alloys developed are naturally inferior to the natural body of the ground strider. The behemoths of the void are extraordinary beings. Even the so-called main guns of battleships have difficulty blasting away their bodies. If you want to kill the behemoths of the void, only the king of heaven can take action.

In the current Hall of Valor, the area covered by the body has increased significantly. About half of the chest is covered by the natural body, and the body also shows signs of growing along the spine toward the head and back of the body. I just want to wait for it to grow naturally, which may take decades.

Viewed from the air, the Hall of Heroes has somewhat restored its former glory. There are still large traces of artificial hulls on its body, and of course there are more vacancies. The outline of the deck has appeared on its back, and there are still several rows of holes on its sides, which are gun emplacements prepared for side firepower. Those strider-class main guns will be placed in these gun emplacements.

The main gun of the Strider class is dense but slightly weak in firepower, and it is perfectly appropriate to use it in the position of the side gun. Shen Lu has to deal with the real target. The Shen Lu that Lin Jiaer worked hard to build is a genuine Duke-class main gun, which is stronger than the main guns of some of the empire's old battleships.

Seeing the cargo float landing, Qingyue immediately ran over. When the hatch opened, Qianye saw dozens of guns pointed at him.

"Master!" Qingyue cheered, dropped the gun, and flew over.

Qianye was a little surprised by her sudden enthusiasm. He patted her and took her off his arms.

Qingyue raised her head and said, "You haven't been back for a long time."

As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red. Qianye didn't know how to answer this topic, so he pointed to the aerospace boat behind him and said, "I brought some good things this time. Let's put them all in the Hall of Heroes."

Qingyue nodded, turned around and said hello, and dozens of Gaohu warriors ran over to help carry it.

"Take me to see the Hall of Valor and see how it is being built."

"Okay."

Qingyue led Qianye to the Hall of Heroes, and then took him to look around. In the Hall of Valor, the stored materials have basically been used up. While the ground strider stayed in the void to absorb the force, there were hundreds of craftsmen in the cabin who were constantly building cabins, installing equipment, and optimizing the layout.

The original main guns and engines had been installed long ago, and craftsmen began to build various cabins.

Now the crew living area has taken shape, such as the medical area, leisure area, warehouse, restaurant and other areas have been divided, and basic facilities have been built. The Hall of Heroes can now accommodate hundreds of people. Since only a small area of ​​the Earth Strider's body is enclosed, and the areas protected by the body must be prioritized for use by the power cabin, energy cabin, armory, ammunition depot, and various functional Force arrays, it can be used by the crew. There are not many areas.

Qianye brought a large amount of building materials for building basic facilities this time. High-grade boards can be used as outer walls, and armor plates can be attached to them. Plates of average quality are used for the construction of internal cabins. In this way, a large functional area can be added, and the ship can accommodate more than a thousand crew members.

A giant ship like the Strider, which is nearly a kilometer long, can easily carry tens of thousands of people inside. Qianye looked at the planning of the internal space and said: "Add another living area. It doesn't need to be particularly comfortable, as long as it can accommodate people for a week."

Qingyue quickly calculated in her mind and said: "With the current space, the residential area built can be used by three thousand people. However, the corresponding warehouses and restaurants must be renovated. How many people do you plan to accommodate in the area? ?"

Qianye wanted to say ten thousand, but then thought about it and said, "Just three thousand people."

Three thousand, just enough to carry the most elite soldiers of the Dark Fire mercenaries. With the maneuverability of the fleet, these three thousand people can be dropped behind enemy lines. In this way, Qianye has a mobile force in his hands, which can immediately attack any area behind the enemy's front line.

In the next few days, the mountain engine and the strider-class main gun will be installed. All the engines Qianye were installed on the Hall of Valor, which greatly increased the speed of the Hall of Valor. Although it still couldn't catch up with the empire's standard warships, and couldn't even outrun the largest war carrier, it was already much faster than the cargo ship. A few more mountain-class engines can barely keep up with the speed of the war carrier.

Qianye couldn't wait for everything to be safe, so he flew into the void with the Hall of Heroes and headed towards Nan Qingcheng.

Back in Nan Qing City, Qianye stopped the Hall of Heroes in the void and let the craftsmen above continue to install the engine and main gun. He flew into Nanqing and returned to the Dark Fire headquarters.

He ordered people to bring Zhang Xuance up. A few days later, Zhang Xuance, who had been living in prison, was obviously depressed, and the arrogance on his body had long since disappeared.

As soon as he saw Qianye, he felt like he saw a life-saving straw. He took a few steps forward and shouted: "Lord Qianye! You are back!"

"Do you miss me?" Qianye smiled half-heartedly.

"Look, I have been detained here for a long time. You neither said to kill nor to release, this..."

"Oh, that's it. I've been busy these days and forgot about it."

Zhang Xuance's expression suddenly became very exciting. He had thought of all kinds of reasons, but he didn't expect that Qianye would forget him.

Since childhood, Zhang Xuance has been the center of attention. Even if Zhang Buzhou's legitimate son is not dead, he still pays great attention to him. In any case, he never thought that one day, his fate would be so unimportant that he would be forgotten.

This made all the stories he had been brewing for several days come to nothing. He thought for a long time and finally said: "Lord Qianye, if you don't plan to kill me, then let me go. My family will definitely be willing to pay the price for this."

"What price?" Qianye seemed to finally be interested in him.

Zhang Xuance knew that if he didn't make it clear, he wouldn't be able to regain his freedom, so he simply put his mind to it and made a price for his life and fortune.
