  Chapter 926 The Base Vehicle and the Prophecy of Natural Disasters

   "Look, eldest prince, this is our brand new list of items. Can you see what other needs there are in the imperial capital?"

   "Elder Prince, look, this is our Alchemy Park led by Yinfeng. It is a brand new Alchemy Industrial Park that perfectly responds to the high-tech development of the Imperial Capital. Can you give me a little more subsidies..."

   "Prince, please..."

Knowing that Carlos has the right to approve funds, Ian's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, and even Carlos was a little uncomfortable: "Earl Silver Peak, be more reserved...Your Silver Peak leader is not short of money now, right? The military orders from the Legion Flint Group, as well as drinks that sell well near the imperial capital... Your territory is considered to be in the upper middle class among all the earldoms, and it has great potential in the future!"

   "Where is the money enough?"

   Speaking of this, Ian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  This is not a pretense, but a fact.

  In the past, he was a researcher who needed funding, and he didn't know how expensive he was if he was not in charge of the family. But now that he is the leader, he knows how much money the projects he started are worth.

Among other things, it's just the 'artificial soul' project team—in order to optimize the structure of the soul, strengthen thinking ability and memory, he has purchased no less than forty batches of ape-like monsters as experimental subjects, and even he is still breeding in the laboratory, striving for Breed the most human-like species of ape.

   In addition, military research and development is also a big head. Although with Ian's alchemy attainments, he can fulfill many of the military needs of the imperial military with his own research, but the construction and development of mechanical engineering and experimental new equipment cost a lot of money.

Among other things, the development of the 'MCV' (Moving Base Construction Vehicle) that Ian has been thinking about is an example-this thing is too big as a project, and even the simplest 'giant vehicle track' needs to be tackled at present, regardless of Whether it is material selection or structural design, it needs to spend money to screen.

As for the 'STC' (Standard Construction Module) inside the base vehicle, it is a bit simpler. It is nothing more than a fractal terminal of the Heart of Terra. It stores all the construction techniques of the Silver Peak collar inside. The only difficulty is how to use the base vehicle's built-in The construction equipment turns the blueprint in the building block into reality.

The base vehicle was foreseen by Ian on the way to the star-extinguishing road. He developed the intelligent machinery used in outer space mining. Its existence gave Yinfeng almost unlimited industrial resources. Its development is obviously the highest priority in the sequence. However, this The thing really costs money, even if Ian gathers the power of the whole territory, he can't realize it in a short time.

  But if it is allocated by the imperial capital...

  Ian enthusiastically introduced his various projects to Prince Carlos. Among them, the technology of the base vehicle was packaged in the concept of "simple forward base" and promoted together with the "floating city".

In Ian's description, the floating city he wants to build is not a heavy firepower fortress, but a giant front-line factory, where all aerospace armor can be quickly repaired and replaced, and can even be produced locally Some unmanned armor or aeronautical armor with relatively low standards are used as auxiliary troops.

   This kind of floating city can be called a mobile fortress dock, a real advance base, and a coordination network can be attached to it to be responsible for the mobilization and coordination of troops in one place.

   “The concept is…interesting!”

Carlos was obviously moved, he nodded slightly, and generously swiped his pen: "As expected of a young man, he thought of the usage of the new floating city so quickly - God will give you full support, as long as you can build it, Then all funds are not a problem!"

   "Don't worry!"

  Although Ian hates the lack of distance behavior and speed of the Sun God Bird, they are also very fast in funding, which Ian gave a hundred praises.

   "Walk slowly—ah, I can't slow down."

  Ian sent off Prince Carlos almost like sending off the God of Wealth, and the moment he watched the other party disappear, his smile gradually dissipated, and finally turned dignified.

   "Does the imperial capital really don't care, or is my moral standard too high?"

  Ian muttered to himself, he was sitting at the gate of his castle, somewhat incomprehensible.

In fact, since he brought Prince Carlos into his experimental base, Ian has been testing him—whether it is the soul technology to treat patients with brain diseases, or the soul transformation that vaguely hints that Ian has the potential to transform humans Carlos is unmoved by technology, and seems to be accustomed to it.

   Honestly, this is not quite right.

   Dolch Hawes. After this brain-shrinking "brain-disabled patient" possessed an artificial soul and gained normal wisdom, his father's first reaction was actually not "joy", but a kind of fear.

"Is this really my child?" He stood outside the ward and muttered to himself, saying with fear on his face: "Although I know that it is a soul born from his body and brain structure...but My child, who is too stupid to be described by an idiot, has become so smart..."

   "Although it sounds incomprehensible, my lord, can you make him a little stupid? Just a little bit... I don't need him to be smart, I just need to be able to keep the family business..."

  It's a pity that Ian can make people smart from idiots, but he can't make smart people stupid.

Because idiots who are so stupid that they have no self-awareness can't refuse other people's transformation, while smart people with self-awareness will resist this behavior, and their souls themselves will interfere with Ian's homework, not to mention, with Ian's morality, He would not distort Dolch's own wishes on such trivial matters.

  And Dolch himself, how could he change himself back to the original appearance where he couldn't take care of himself?

  So, Dolch Hoss is still staying in the ward of Xiahui City so far, and has not been taken back by his father.

  Ian didn't care. He believed that one day, Mr. Hawes would come back to pick up his smart and filial son.

  As for asking him if Dolch is the original stupid son of Mr. Hawes, instead of a completely new person...

   "I think it must be." The echo beyond time and space, Ian, brainwashed himself, Yinfeng said: "It's a common thing, right? Why are these Terran people so sensitive."

   "Obviously."

  Adelbert said: "You can't be used as a common example or a comparison object at all."

  That's what I said, but this is obviously a technology that challenges human relations. But Carlos didn't say anything.

   Could it be that there are similar spiritual and soul experiments within the empire? But they are not used to treat patients with these brain diseases... So where is their technology used?

  Ian is most worried about this matter—he can't figure out the purpose and bottom line of the imperial capital.

  The purpose of Axel the keeper is still a mystery so far. He originally thought he wanted to live forever, but at present, he has no such idea at all... But if it is a resurrected person, it feels a bit fanciful. I don't understand.

   But no matter what, life must go on.

  After a few days of fear, the research funds promised by Carlos came one by one. That was a sum of seven figures, and it was even just the first batch. Yinfeng collar had never fought such a rich battle.

  Although the price is to be watched by the imperial capital and even His Majesty the Emperor, for Thaler's sake, Ian is willing to temporarily shrink his tail and be his own genius researcher quietly.

  The days passed like this.

Relying on the heart of Terra and Ian's superb soul skills, Yinfengling launched an analysis of the demon technology of Flaming Land—although there is not much result so far, the "fusion demon detector" launched by Yinfengling is selling well in the west All noble lands.

Basically, any qualified nobles, knight lords, city lords, and even village chiefs have a strong demand for purchases. Those who have been genuinely suppressed by the demon army once have really become frightened birds. In order to avoid such attacks again, they will Buy all items against demons.

In addition, there are also some sales in Nanling and the northern provinces. It is said that this detector can not only detect demons, but also detect evil spirits and cursed souls. It is a very useful general-purpose virtual environment Malicious spirit detector.

   At the same time, with the gradual improvement of the Daxueding Holy Land, the selection process for the "Knight of Protection" is gradually getting on the right track.

  Up to now, led by Miles, there are a total of 27 "potential psychics" in the Silver Peak territory who have the potential to protect psychic powers. These psykers need to stick to their oaths, and every word and deed must conform to the "Guardian Regulations" determined by Miles in order to exert the true power of the sheltered psychics, but even so, this is the responsibility of the twenty-seven priests seed.

  As for the "Priest of the Holy Light" headed by Loren, there are very few, until now there are only a few of them.

   Loren felt a little lost because of this, and Ian also specially comforted his disciple.

  "People can't understand that protection and healing are more important than destruction, so we need to educate."

  Ian took Loren to the classroom in Xiahui City, and showed him the thousands of children who were studying in the academy. The Prophet said calmly: "This is the real valuable property of Yinfeng Lingling until now—children and the future."

  "Their three views, cognition and lifestyle will be very different from their parents. Similarly, the spiritual power they can awaken will also be completely different."

   "Among these children, there will definitely be more 'Holy Light Seeds' who will favor you in the future."

   These words are not just comfort, but also Ian's declaration of the future in his heart.

  He doesn’t believe in human beings, at least he doesn’t believe in this generation of Terran humans, because no matter what the future is, the Terran humans will definitely go to self-destruction.

This generation of Terra people has already fallen into madness and madness. Just as the dragon of the abyss said, this land is no different from the abyss. If it weren't for the diligent cleaning of the Void Machine God from generation to generation, Terra would have become another land. Abyss star field.

  However, this is not impossible to change... As long as the next generation is educated well, the next generation will one day, disputes will stop, and a world of great harmony will be created.

   At that time, Ian can also fulfill his dream.

  Except for the Knights of Protection and the Priest of the Holy Light, Ian’s hidden third sect inheritance ‘Avenging Messenger’, which is the spiritual power inheritance deduced from the power of the dead king, actually has more people who meet the requirements.

   There are hundreds of them, almost all of them are orphans and parents who lost their parents and children due to special warfare, biological warfare, and demon invasion in Flamingo. They are wholeheartedly thinking about revenge, wanting revenge, and this resentful psionic energy is like a volcanic eruption, allowing them to burn their souls to adapt to the power of the avenging messenger.

   There are a lot of them, and the fit is very high. If it weren't for the seeds of this group of avenging messengers, each of them is basically a "one-for-one" self-explosive maniac, Ian would be happy to train them.

  So in the end, Ian handed over this batch of 'Seeds of Priests' to the Huaiguang Church for cultivation. It's not that he finds it troublesome, but he believes that the Huaiguang Church can adjust the hearts of these vengeance messengers and let them feel the anger of revenge, but they will not be swallowed by anger and hatred and let themselves fall into nothingness.

  This is one of the hidden benefits of man-made souls—in the past, there might have been quite a few people with psychic qualifications, but one opportunity was missing, but at most there was one out of hundreds of people.

  But after man-made souls, due to the improvement of the nature of thinking, the number of psychic potentials began to increase. Originally, there were hundreds of people, but now it has become dozens, one in a dozen.

  Even in some psychic bloodline families that seem to have related ancestral bloodlines, there is even an exaggerated number of people with a psychic potential.

   And this kind of potential can be used to cultivate artificial psykers of the sect.

  Even if there is no psychic potential, if there is a soul, and then practice meditation, if there are enough materials, basically everyone can reach the second energy level.

  Artificial souls have greatly improved talents. No wonder such a seemingly ordinary technology is regarded as one of the most critical strategic technologies by the Empire and Flameland.

   While Ying Guang, Hui Jian and others were helping Ian train the clergymen, Bishop Baiwu also came over in person at Port Harrison.

  The old man came to Xiahui collar only to do two things.

  The first thing to do is to tell Ian that his younger brother Elan will come to Xiahui City from Harrison Port to receive education from Yingguang Sword and others, and be trained as a priest.

   The essence behind this matter is that the Huaiguang Church wants to hand over the power of the clergy team to Ian, and Elan himself is the leader of this clergy team.

  In the final analysis, Ian has established his own sect now, even if Elan is receiving education from the Huaiguang Church, they still have to consider Elan's position.

   Regarding this, Ian feels quite indifferent—as long as Elan likes it, he can do anything.

  With his current relationship and foundation with Huaiguang Church, there is no need for his younger brother to receive basic education in Huaiguang Church.

  But Ian did not choose to sever his relationship with the Harrison Port Church. He told the Bishop of White Mist that he would always be Elan's teacher and his friend.

   As for Elan himself? He was overjoyed to be able to come to Yinfeng to be company with his elder brother, how could he not want to.

  As for the second matter, Bai Wu told Ian that Huaiguang Sacred Mountain detected a huge 'natural disaster' that was about to happen.

  The place where the natural disaster occurred is related to a place where the acquaintance of the prophet 'Mahdi' will go in the future.

   "It is the capital of learning."

  Bishop Bishop said solemnly: "Ian, maybe you don't believe it, but the capital of learning will usher in a huge destruction and change in a short period of time—this is a prophecy from the popes, and it can never be wrong."

   "Even if you don't believe it, you must tell your brother Mahdi Glen."

   The toe was pierced an inch by a wooden thorn, and the pain was so painful that I really wanted to ask for leave, but I still gritted my teeth and finished writing a chapter.

   Brothers, you have to wear socks even at home!
