Chapter 26 Zero Element Small Money
Chapter 26 Zero Element = Small Money
Generally speaking, energy weapons and kinetic energy weapons certainly have their own advantages and disadvantages, and mature fleets and mature commanders will never go to extremes. However, this is also at the level of space fleet battle. However, if you look at the atmosphere or even individual soldiers, the miniaturization of energy weapons has always been one of the problems that plagues all civilizations in the universe. Installing phased ion cannons on heavy tanks is the limit of what can be done currently.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for a single soldier to have a kinetic energy rifle, a blaster, and a cutting laser?
What, you mean those lightsabers and spears used by the Rangers and Astral Knights that can cut through the armor and shields of battleships? Didn't I say that? Those things that can be created by relying on the energy-gathering crystal in "Zero Element" are basically in the category of alchemy. Can something that cannot be mass-produced and widely used still be called a weapon? At most, it is just a garland used by extraordinary people to decorate their status.
However, these two blasters removed from the "Large Bakugan" are energy weapons that can be used by individual soldiers. The gun barrel is only two meters long, its weight is no more than ten kilograms, and there is no heavy ammunition. An adult can carry it and walk away. As for its power... Yu Lian had seen it before, and it was no problem to beat the Sand People and their Stitch Monster Tanks anyway.
Come on, Yu Lian encouraged Uncle Karl's back. If you repair the hive missile and laser cutting ray again, I will admit that you are a super technical master who combines the essence of Zhong Lingyuxiu, the sun and the moon.
Therefore, this kind of talent is forced to work in the colonial guard. Who will finish if the country is not destroyed?
Yu Lian sighed while taking out a thumb-sized light green crystal from the pile of "bakugan", holding it in his hand and looking at it with a light. The light passing through the crystal seemed to reflect the pattern of the galaxy inside.
He expressed that he was satisfied and handed it to Ina.
"No." The girl shook her head.
"..." Why don't you act according to common sense?
"Looking at your expression, I can tell it's a very expensive thing. Anyway, it must be much more expensive than those two big guns. What kind of relationship do we have to accept such an expensive gift?" Ina continued to shake her head.
"This is a weapon..."
"Oh." Miss Sergeant Major took the things away without saying a word. Miss Belinda, who saw this scene from afar, was dejected, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her. Only Dr. Banks patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then emotionally motioned her to get to work quickly.
Why are you still not playing your cards right? Yu Lian glanced at Ina sideways and continued: "This is a perception gem, a kind of spiritual gem. Of course, it is also a kind of 'Element Zero'. Find a paranormal laboratory of a large company, and it can be used with it." Make an extraordinary piece of equipment out of the main materials; of course, if you know a private craftsman, the price of the former will be so high that you will doubt your life, and the price of the latter will simply depend on your choice."
"I have no money, and I grew up in the Invalides. I don't know anyone from the dark side." Miss Sergeant Major said, "I am a well-behaved and good girl. I have a sense of superiority in front of you guys who go astray." With a proud expression, he handed the gem back.
There's nothing to be proud of.
"It also has another use... Sensitive people can sense its rhythm and absorb the internal energy to strengthen themselves. Of course, if you have a certain talent, you can directly activate the star ring of the 'Hunter Star'. This way The end point is the legendary ‘falling star hand’.”
"Starfalling Hand?" Ina was a little moved. Although she didn't know what it was, it still sounded very powerful.
"Yes, the title of the ninth ring of Hunter Star is also the highest realm of psykers. As the name suggests, it can shoot down all the stars!" This is not a metaphor but a literal meaning. This means that when psykers reach the seventh ring or above, they can shoot down all the stars! Reasons that can already be regarded as living gods. In fact, if the power of high-ranking psychics is placed in the "primitive civilization" that has not yet left the birth planet, then it is really a true god who speaks the Constitution and speaks the law.
However, the so-called "shooting down the stars" is only semi-legendary in the final analysis.
In such a vast galaxy, with thousands of civilized governments and trillions of intelligent beings, the birth of three or five Nine Rings in a thousand years can be considered a "prosperous age" for psykers. As for the pinnacle of the "Hunting Star" path, the Falling Star Hand has not been born for more than two thousand years.
Thinking of this, Yu Lian felt a little emotional for a while. He was... ah no, in the future, he was caught off guard by this big Bakugan that suddenly activated, but at that time he was already a high-level player, and he finally killed him after fighting for 300 rounds. Of all the trophies on it, the only one of any value (to Yu Lian at that time) was this perception gem. He originally wanted to hand this thing over to that young man, the most talented young marksman after "The Witch of the Burning Eye" Ina Sirica... However, the turmoil of the great era was so exciting but so cruel. It will always swallow up those rays of hope that never have time to grow.
Uh, wait? That ray of hope is not born at all now. Isn't her most admired idol, the legendary "Shagugan Witch" right in front of her?
"How to use it?" the idol lady of the light of hope who was not yet born asked enthusiastically: "It can't be taken orally."
"Well, it can really be taken orally..."
"Just take it orally?"
I always feel like I've heard this before. If I tell her to have a glass of Alliance-produced Saint Red Wine, smoke a Green Court Bay Torpedo, hum a melodious Milyang tune, dance an elegant Imperial Court Dance, or the high-spirited war dance of the Wookiee Gorillas and the Endor Bears, and finally play a round of Star Cards, she will definitely be asking for a beating, right?
The most important thing is that it feels particularly unlucky.
"No need for anything, just take it orally."
Ina glanced at Yu Lian, making sure that the other party was not joking, and simply threw this shiny thing that looked like it had radiation into her mouth like throwing candy beans.
"..." Although I know that you are such a resolute person, being too decisive will make everyone at a loss.
In short, although this thing is a gem, it will really melt in the mouth and make the lips and teeth salivate when taken by a predestined sensitive person. Ina smacked her lips, as if she was a little reluctant.
"Is that all?"
"You will soon feel something else. For example, you will feel hot, agitated, filled, or even injected... It's different for different people. Just experience it yourself. Anyway, I'm very optimistic about you."
Yu Lian was looking forward to seeing whether Ina would have red, green, yellow, black, etc., but the girl just showed a thoughtful expression, her eyes slowly straightened, and she entered a state of concentration, commonly known as daze. This made Yu Lian feel bored. If it were someone else, he might really observe and watch carefully, but the other party was the "Shokugan Witch". Could she be possessed when she broke through the first ring?
So, Yu Lian left Ina, who was digesting the power, and stepped into the familiar hall again after "many days". Except for a few who stayed to see the car, the spoils, and Ina, everyone hurried to follow.
Compared to the rather majestic statue at the door, the main part of this ruins is not so eye-catching. Everyone originally thought they would see a magnificent and solemn underground palace, but it was just a hall about 20 meters long and wide, and no more than 5 or 6 meters high. The branch hall of the Starry Sky Rose Bank in Tulong Port was more magnificent than this. There was a starry sky pattern hanging on the ceiling, which was the only decoration; the wall tiles on both sides should be made of metal, bare and nothing else; the hall was divided into several areas, with many unknown instruments scattered around. On the front wall, there was an instrument similar to an operating table, but there were no buttons on it, let alone a rough and intuitive circuit control panel.
"Is this... a laboratory? Or a workshop?" However, Uncle Carl, who had just entered the hall, was stunned, and then showed a look of yearning and nostalgia. He couldn't understand any of the instruments here, let alone use them, but as a wild master, he felt the same for the first time, as if he had been connected with those colleagues who had worked for countless tens of millions of years.
Or, was he just missing the career for which he had devoted everything in his first half of his life?
"The facilities here are all antiques, Youyou, don't touch them!" Yu Lian shouted.
The big black sergeant shuddered in fear and quickly retracted his hand.
"If you break one, your merit will be discounted when you report it, and you may even be punished!" Yu Lian said.
"Merit, merit? You want to report it?" Dr. Banks asked.
"We can't take the things here, so we might as well wait until this matter is over and report it to the Governor's Office in exchange for some merit and bonus. The community government has a clearly marked reward for the discoverer of the remains of the Enlightened One. Believe me, I will argue with reason, and no one will embezzle everyone's credit."
Everyone nodded stiffly. If Yu Lian had not already had a lot of prestige among this group of people, it is estimated that someone would have spoken out against it. People with normal IQ know that the proceeds of turning it over to the public and the proceeds of private sales are completely different. Although no one in this group of guards can find a reliable way to get rid of it, they can't help but think too much!
There are so many stories in the universe about a poor scavenger in a remote star region who dug out the relics of the Enlightened One while digging mud on an asteroid and sold them to a kind collector passing by, and then reached the peak of his life.
Real human nature! Yu Lian thought. However, it was precisely because of the reality that there was nothing to be disappointed about. Besides, he had already prepared for it.
So, in everyone's sight, Yu Lian walked straight to the central control console, reached out and picked up a box from behind, and opened it directly. The silver light that suddenly bloomed immediately attracted everyone's attention. Yu Lian took the opportunity to take a small chip from the gap in the control console and put it in his pocket.
His movements were very fast and covert, and even the nurse who had been peeking at him didn't notice it.
"This is Nether silver, also known as mithril, which is a kind of active metal." Yu Lian explained to everyone.
The Alliance explorer named Nether was the discoverer of this substance, but the word from mythology and legend was the best choice to name it.
"Of course, it is also a kind of zero element!"
Everyone's breathing suddenly became heavy.
They don't know how much element zero there is in the universe, let alone its various forms and uses, but they definitely know the simple common sense that "element zero is equal to small coins, lots and lots of small coins."
By the way, if I named one of the heroines Lucy Berencaster or Lucy Ringo, would old readers find it toxic?
