Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Xu Yuan was silent, still speechless.

He understood why the father would leave Xu Xinyao's matter to him.

The father knew very well that although the path that the fourth sister had found was feasible, it was also a dead end.

Because, it's too late.

Today's situation is such that an arrow has to be fired.

If the imperial court is the prime minister's official residence, then this matter may still have a slight possibility, but there is still a royal family in the imperial court, and there is the dying emperor.

Li Yaoxuan would not agree.

The policy set by the father and the emperor from the beginning was to end with war, and the two men had been working in this direction for decades in power.

Even if the father informed him of the plan, all he would get in return would be an unhappy separation.

When Li Yaoxuan was about to die, if he told him this plan, he would only feel that it was a betrayal, a complete betrayal.

Because even if all of Xu Xinyao's current research data were presented to Li Yaoxuan, it would still be impossible to prove the feasibility of the soul-nurturing ring, let alone how long it would take for the soul-nurturing ring technology to mature.

Li Yaoxuan couldn't wait.

After his death, under the leadership of Xu Yinhe, no one will be able to restrict the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Yinhe's prestige accumulated over the past few decades was so high that he agreed to this plan. Without Li Yaoxuan's restrictions, during the long process of developing the soul-raising ring, everything in the court would be cannibalized by him bit by bit. All.

Therefore, this matter cannot be told to the Prime Minister's only ally at this stage.

And this point is unsolvable.

The current situation has become clear. The emperor named Li Yaoxuan wanted to do something to maintain the rule of the royal family before he died.

Otherwise, he would not be so eager to destroy the barbarians, let alone attack the northern sects in such a hurry.

For more than a year, Emperor Li Yaoxuan was the one who took the lead, and the old man only followed up with cooperation.

But every move Li Yaoxuan made these few times was a risky move.

One wrong step and it will be doomed.

In the battle of the barbarians, if it weren't for the supplies he brought through the Xumi Ring provided in the Qionghua Secret Realm, and if it weren't for the information he obtained through "Cangyuan", under the leadership of the barbarian king Chi Feng, the barbarians would have already broken through the vast territory across the world. The giant fortress between the Black Land and the Three Northern Continents is Beifeng City.

The battle to annihilate the northern sects is a dangerous lead. If the sect alliance does not appease and is unwilling to give up the northern sects, then the entire world will instantly fall into war.

At this point in time, it was impossible for him to stop.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to tell the fourth sister in front of him these things, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

Somewhat intolerable.

The fourth sister finally found the right path after all her efforts, but was told that it was a dead end. This was undoubtedly too cruel for her.

Looking at the cautious and hopeful eyes, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked softly:

"With the full support of the Gewuyuan, Xinyao, how long do you think it will take you to produce a sample?"

Xu Xinyao's eyes lit up slightly:

"I haven't come into contact with Senior Luo's soul-nurturing ring yet, so the time is not yet certain."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and continued to ask:

"You just need to give a general idea."

When Xu Xinyao heard Xu Yuan's loose words, a lot of the sparkle in her eyes dissipated, her hoarse voice regained its composure, and she said quickly:

"As short as one year, as long as more than ten years."

"Snapped."

Xu Yuan clapped his hands, straightened up, and said with a serious tone:

“This is taking too long.

"Regardless of whether it can be successfully made or not, just in your imagination, a sample will take such a long time, so it shouldn't be too much to reduce the cost to double the time required for mass production. This will happen over and over again. That's more than ten years.

"And more importantly, even if it can be mass-produced, preparing supporting facilities is the biggest problem."

Hearing these words, Xu Xinyao's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

As a top formation master, of course she knew these things very well, but she just selectively ignored them.

Nowadays, all facilities, all formations, and all equipment are driven by source energy, and the energy of the soul-raising ring comes from the Yin source generated by demons and ghosts.

These are two completely different energies. The interoperability cannot be said to be poor, it can only be said to be non-existent.

To implement this plan, a large-scale and bloated renovation plan is needed.

Transform the large energy-draining array pattern of the city protection, transform the energy supply method of the equipment, and transform which equipment can be charged with Yin source.

And more importantly, a large number of ghosts need to be cultivated as a source of energy.

All this is a long process.

"well"

Xu Yuan sighed softly and said in a low voice:

"Xin Yao, all the resources in the Prime Minister's Mansion are being prepared for the possible war, and there is no spare time to support this huge project of yours. This is probably the reason why my father rejected you."

Xu Xinyao lowered her head weakly, like a wounded little beast, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised his hand and gently pressed it on the girl's silky hair, and said softly:

"What my father can't give you, let me give it to you."

Xu Xinyao suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes bright:

"Brother, are you willing to help me persuade my father?"

Xu Yuan looked away and whispered:

"I have already said that it is impossible for father to agree. Even if I try to persuade him, it is impossible."

The girl's exquisite little face froze with surprise, she pursed her lips and said carefully:

"Koko Xinyao remembers that you have no money now."

"clatter."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and struck the girl on the head with his knife.

Xu Xinyao felt pain and took half a step back, covering her head, staring at him and waiting for Xu Yuan's next words.

Xu Yuan snorted lightly, glanced in the direction of the door, and then directly controlled the black soul in the sea of ​​consciousness to cover the entire wing.

In an instant, the wing that was originally brightly illuminated by the inscription lamp was shrouded in black mist that could not be penetrated by the soul.

With the next words, he needed to isolate himself from everything.

Even the father couldn't tell.

Xu Xinyao, who was plunged into darkness by this incident, subconsciously exclaimed:

"ah"

"This is my technique." Xu Yuan comforted softly.

Hearing the sound, Xu Xinyao subconsciously followed the sound and pulled the man's clothes in front of her in the dark:

"Why?"

"Do not be afraid."

Xu Yuan did not answer the question and said softly:

"I will wait until my father returns home, and I will ask him to assign you three armor-level formation masters and two armor-level weapon refiners. As for researchers below level A, you should have your own in the Gewün Academy. Connections, is this kind of manpower deployment okay?”

Xu Xinyao hesitated slightly after hearing this.

Grade A formation masters and weapon refiners are treasures of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Each one of them is so knowledgeable that they can almost lead the research of a project.

Although it still seems a bit inadequate for the entire huge project, this should be the limit of what the third brother can do.

Thinking in her mind, Xu Xinyao nodded slightly, and then realized that it was dark here, and the third brother might not be able to see. When she was about to speak, she heard the other party's words:

“Now that we have enough, it’s money and supplies.”

That's right, this is Third Brother's magic, he can definitely see it.

Xu Xinyao thought in her heart and asked:

"Third brother, all your money has been taken away by Lou Ji"

"Money is just a number, don't take it too seriously."

"."Xu Xinyao.

"Alright alright."

Xu Yuan sighed and continued in a low voice: "I know you may think that without the help of my father, I have no financial resources, but in fact I have other channels."

Xu Xinyao blinked and asked in a low voice: "Blackmail?"

"."Xu Yuan.

To be honest, he had this idea.

But it's not blackmail, it's borrowing.

Li Yunqing's friend was quite wealthy, so he wouldn't refuse a loan from his life-and-death friend.

Moreover, after the detailed discussion with the prince the night before, he knew that the other party might be going to Japan. In addition to the other party's temperament, it should be considered acceptable to reveal his identity.

However, being looked at by his sister like this, Xu Yuan still felt a little inexplicably unhappy.

It's as if he just knows how to extort money from others.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan raised his hand and pulled the girl's soft face, causing her to blush:

"Don't worry about where my money comes from. I'll give it to you anyway. Is it enough to provide an initial capital of one million taels for preparation?"

"Not enough." Xu Xinyao replied directly without thinking.

"One million taels is not enough?!" Xu Yuan was stunned.

Converted into the currency of the previous life, one million grains of silver was a huge amount of 1.5 billion, which was not even enough for the preliminary preparations.

Xu Xinyao's face turned slightly red and she explained softly:

"The sky-gazing instrument needs to be repaired. I can save the cost of the array master, but the purchase of various materials and the repair of the site, even if purchased at the internal price like Grandpa Hua Hong, a million pattern silver is really not enough."

The Gewuyuan and the Tianan Chamber of Commerce are two completely separate organizations under the Prime Minister's Office.

If there is a direct order from the father, the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce can provide various materials for free, but if it is done privately, it will need to be purchased with money.

Scientific research really costs money, oh no, it means burning source crystals.

Xu Yuan sighed in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked:

"Then how much money do you need?"

"About five million taels." Xu Xinyao couldn't see Xu Yuan's expression, so she could only test carefully: "If that doesn't work, three million taels should be enough."

"Five million taels. You are really a gold-eating beast."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and pinched Fourth Sister's face hard: "I know, just wait, I will find a way."

Xu Xinyao was in pain, but her beautiful eyes were full of smiles in the darkness:

"okay."

After answering, Xu Xinyao suddenly remembered something, became a little hesitant, and whispered:

"Brother, without father's order, Senior Luo would not have given me the soul ring for research."

Xu Yuan was immediately happy when he heard this:

"You go and call him over tomorrow. I haven't seen that old friend for a long time, and I still miss him a little."
