Qian Santai told them that Seoul has basically returned to normal order, but it will take a slow process to return to the state before the plague. After all, the plague took away three-quarters of the entire Seoul population. Population, but the plague did not severely damage the economic foundation, but it was a catastrophic blow to the population. It may not be possible for Seoul to return to its original population and prosperity within five to seven years.
Everything has two sides. There must be a bad side and a good side. On the contrary, these surviving people already have immunity in their bodies and are no longer afraid of the plague. There are vacant rooms everywhere in the city. After all the supplies were finished, those who died could not take away any financial resources, so there were sufficient resources to use. Rebuilding Seoul was Seoul's own business. There was no use for Qian Santai to stay there. Besides, Xiao Jinzi's father passed This plague incident has basically unified the entire Seoul. Now, people there can be said to respond to Commissioner Kim's instructions with one response, or even a thousand responses. Whether it is the people in the city or the Seoul defenders, they all have the same attitude, and they have truly implemented it. Complete unity, which is also a good thing.
"Then why did you come to Solu this time? Isn't it just for that car?"
Ma Tao and others chatted with Qian Santai while eating, exchanging news.
"Car? Do you think I am the kind of person who needs a chariot?"
Qian Santai smiled, then put down the chopsticks in his hands and said: "The armored vehicle I'm talking about, judging from its configuration, is not a very good tank. Even if it is a tank with good performance, , even if it is a heavy tank, in my current condition, let alone one, if I wanted to, I would have no problem buying a few of them."
Qian Santai is not bragging when he says this. He does have the capital strength now, and it is very easy to spend hundreds of thousands of G.
The value of a combat vehicle has a price. In Ma Tao's opinion, the value of this armored vehicle is only one or two hundred thousand G. After all, this kind of armored personnel carrier is not strictly a combat vehicle. The value is limited. If it is replaced by the Red Wolf, the Wolf car will cost at least one to two million G in terms of its popularity and performance. But then again, who will sell such a rare car? What about the indispensable chariot? Therefore, there are many people who buy and sell tanks, but truly powerful tanks with superior performance are priced but not available in the market, so there is no need to even think about them.
"Not for the chariot? Then what are you for?"
Xiao Jinzi was curious when he heard this. Qian Santai didn't come all the way here just for the chariot. What else could be more important than a chariot?
"Hehehe..."
After looking at Xiao Jinzi and the others who had expressions of not knowing what was going on, Qian Santai first gestured to the krait standing at the door with his eyes. The latter bowed slightly, lowered his head, and turned around to go out. The door to the room was closed smoothly.
Ma Tao and others also realized that Qian Santai must have known some important news, and this news needed to be kept secret, so they put aside the krait and asked it to guard the door.
Only Ma Tao, others and Qian Santai were left in the room. At this time, Qian Santai mysteriously moved his body forward, and then took out something from his arms. After opening it, it turned out that there was A piece of paper that is somewhat yellowed.
This piece of paper was not too big and was folded. After Qian Santai opened it carefully as if to avoid breaking it, he removed the food and tray on the table to make an area free, and then he spread the design drawing on it. on the table.
What was displayed in front of Ma Tao was a drawing that looked very old. It was full of calculation formulas and design drawings. Ma Tao couldn't understand it at all. Apart from Qian Santai, there was probably only Xiao Jinzi present. It can be seen clearly that Ma Tao, Gao Han, and Su Lanyu really know nothing about this kind of mechanical technology. As for Sister R, she doesn't know it because she has never input this information.
"What is this?"
Ma Tao raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jinzi and Qian Santai, and could only count on them to give him answers.
"It looks like...a weapon blueprint...but..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the design carefully up and down, left and right, and Ma Tao said, looking at the design that looked like a ghost painting.
"Master Jin knows better. I asked someone to look at it. This is indeed a weapon design drawing. However, it is just one of many design drawings, and it is still flawed."
After listening to Xiao Jinzi's words, Qian Santai couldn't help but nod his head and praised him first.
"Weapon blueprints?"
Ma Tao still doesn't quite understand.
"Let me tell you this."
Seeing that the others were also confused, Qian Santai pointed at the design drawing on the table and said: "This thing is said to be so powerful that it can destroy a heavy tank with one blow. Nothing can withstand the energy impact." If you attack in one wave, it is simply a smaller version of the space cannon."
"Really? Is this thing so powerful?"
Gao Han said as if he didn't believe it.
"What he said should be true. There are energy release calculations on this design. It is indeed very powerful."
Xiao Jinzi was still studying the densely packed small characters on the design drawing carefully when he heard Sister Han's words and answered instead of Qian Santai.
"I said Boss Qian, where did you get this thing?"
Although this is an incomplete design drawing, Xiao Jinzi can still roughly see the mechanical and energy principles on the design drawing. The theory of this weapon is established, but there are many contradictions. Now he only cares about this thing Qian San Where did Tai get it from?
"Is it related to the armored vehicle? Or is it related to the cripple?"
Ma Tao has already guessed the relationship between this. Qian Santai did not come here for the armored personnel carrier, but he still wanted to get the armored personnel carrier. And not only him, but all the forces here today are probably Ben For this reason, there must be some connection. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an armored personnel carrier to attract so many people to come and fight for it. It is just a sale, and the one with the highest price gets it. Why bother with so much effort?
"Yes, but you only guessed part of it right..."
Qian Santai first confirmed Ma Tao's guess, and then he fully described the connection between this design drawing and Solu's armored vehicle.
It turns out that this design drawing was hidden in the black market of Shura Palace, the headquarters of Black Mamba. It came to Qian Santai’s hands after the defection of Krait Snake. How did this drawing come about and where is its source? , this has been impossible to study, but what is certain is that there is not just one picture of this picture, but many pictures scattered in various places. How could such a powerful weapon design not attract attention, but no matter how experiments are performed, There is no way for the weapons on this diagram to be actually manufactured. They either explode directly or are so weak that they cannot even kill ants. In short, the weapons on this design diagram have never been successful.
But after all, the theory on this design diagram can be established. Since the theory is established, it must be justified, but why? The reason lies in the energy release of this weapon.
The principle of this weapon is to rely on light energy to gather, dissipate and release. However, light, a material that is visible and intangible, contains huge power. Light is not eye-catching and is used everywhere. The energy contained in light contains heat. It can be infinitely concentrated, just like a magnifying glass. It can even melt the hardest steel through refraction at a certain angle. This is optics. The biggest problem with this weapon is that the optical refractive material cannot withstand the concentration of light energy. , to put it simply, nothing can bear the instant release of its huge energy. Everything that has been tried will basically be burned into powder and disappear completely. Many people have almost given up on the design of this thing, because this planet There is nothing in the world that can absorb and release such a huge amount of energy.
"What does this have to do with that armored vehicle?"
Ma Tao was still very puzzled.
"It doesn't matter"
Qian Santai also answered affirmatively.
What does it mean?
Ma Tao and the others were confused again. If it doesn't matter, why are you so desperate to get that armored vehicle?
Qian Santai continued: "More than half a month ago, a child in this place picked up something similar to an eyeglass lens in the abandoned Solu City. In fact, it should be some kind of meteorite fragment. This eyeglass lens contains radioactivity." Matter can continuously gather light sources without bursting, and even emit bright light sources at night..."
"Isn't this a night pearl?"
Ma Tao was speechless for a while.
"Night pearls are some luminous substances in the earth that have accumulated in ores over tens of millions of years from the initial volcanic magma eruption to subsequent geological movements. Stones containing these luminous rare elements, after processing, are what people The so-called luminous pearl, if you put the fluorescent stone under a white fluorescent lamp and shine it, it will emit beautiful fluorescence. This luminescence is obviously weak during the day and strong at night. The most common one is fluorite, but the luminous pearl can store Energy is limited, this thing is like a bottomless pit, absorbing light sources all the time, which is incomparable to the Night Pearl."
Qian Santai must have worked hard for the weapon on this drawing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to know so much about an unpopular thing like Ye Mingzhu as if he was memorizing a text.
"Then what?"
Xiao Jinzi also listened more and more interestingly, knowing that the next step would definitely be about Solu.
Ma Tao, Gao Han and others also vaguely understood that the appearance of this spectacle-like meteorite would definitely bring hope to those who have the blueprints again, because this spectacle-lens meteorite has become the most critical thing.
As expected, Qian Santai then began to talk about why they came here.
There is no airtight wall. News of the emergence of the spectacle meteorite spread to all parts of the world along with caravans. Qian Santai chose to come to Solu precisely because he knew about the emergence of this meteorite. But the problem That child was too naughty. Think about it, how bold the child would be if he dared to go out of town to retrieve this meteorite. It was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, but the reincarnation of cause and effect means that if you don’t do it, you will not die. A few days before they arrived in Solu, the child actually quarreled with his father and went to the sewer in anger. So many days had passed and the hope of survival was already very slim. The child's father was an old mercenary. In a battle, he completely lost a leg and replaced it with a prosthetic leg. He has difficulty moving and can no longer go hunting. The armored vehicle he owned was obtained from a battle when he was young. He originally wanted to leave it to his son. , but now, there is no news about his son. He had to sell his house to pay for people to go to the sewers to find his son. For this chariot, three teams of people went down into the sewers, but without exception, they all lost their lives. Lost below, buried in the smelly mud.
A guy who was lucky enough to escape with half his life told everyone that there was a huge monster down here that could breathe fire, had sharp teeth and tough skin, and was very difficult to deal with. From then on, people in Solu City knew that There is such a terrifying creature hidden under the city they have been living in."
Because of this incident, the people who went down one after another seemed to have annoyed the monster. Loud noises often came from the sewers. Now, the sewers are all blocked, and smelly mud is being sprayed outside all day long. It is probably because of the monster. related to the emergence.
Many forces that came here one after another all came here for the spectacle meteorite. Now, the lame man's house has been searched, and the spectacle meteorite has not been found. The only possibility is that it was in the armored transport vehicle. On the military vehicle, this is also everyone's guess.
"Is it possible that it's still in that child?"
Ma Tao asked after hearing what he said.
"I hope that's not the case. Otherwise, there's really little hope of recovering the eye meteorite."
Qian Santai let out a long sigh. This was the result he least wanted to see.
"What's the point? Just kill the monster in the sewer, right?"
Xiao Jinzi said nonchalantly, as if this was a very simple matter.
"If it were that easy, do you think it would still be your turn?"
Gao Han moved his eyes to him, looked at his face without thinking about why, and said.
"The environment in the sewer is complex and criss-crossed. Large groups cannot enter. The environment inside is extremely dark, which is especially suitable for monster sneak attacks. In addition, besides the most powerful one, there are many powerful monsters inside. The most powerful one is The important thing is that if the lens meteorite is really on the child, whether his body can be found and whether it was eaten by a monster are all uncertain factors and the difficulty is not ordinary."
Ma Tao was at a loss after hearing this. In such an environment, let alone monsters, it would not be easy to find someone even if there were no monsters, let alone looking for such a small lens. Although that thing It can emit light, but if it really falls into the smelly mud, no light can penetrate the mud and shine outside.
"So it's hopeless?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the weapon design drawing again and pouted helplessly.
"Actually, we don't need to be so sad. Even if we really find the eye piece meteorite, we may not be able to make it."
Qian Santai is still very optimistic.
"Why?"
Ma Tao asked.
"The design drawing not only needs a light source concentrator, but also a light source transmitter and a light source release body. This spectacle meteorite can at most be used as a light source condensate, but it still lacks two processes of transmission and release. Each one is more demanding than the other."
Xiao Jinzi saw a lot from that drawing. Although the theory was established, it was simply an impossible task.
"To put it simply, it is the storage, condensation and release of light. Even if we find this spectacle lens meteorite, we have only completed the first step."
Qian Santai also nodded. He did not say anything else. Although it was the first step, as long as you take this step, you will be one step closer to success. Once such a powerful weapon is successfully researched, it will It is a fusion that changes the world structure. It is precisely because of this reason that every force is unwilling to give up. If possible, who would wait and wait for death? Even if they cannot get it, even if it is destroyed, they cannot Let others get it, this is their purpose.
“So that’s how it is”
Ma Tao understood, but at the same time another doubt came to his mind, which was how this drawing spread to the outside world.
"The person who studies this weapon is smart enough. He uses resources all over the world for free to contribute to his research and development. This person's mind is not simple."
Gao Han wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said.
"yes"
Qian Santai also nodded when he heard this. He had also thought about this issue, which was also what he was worried about. He then said: "I don't know if these design drawings were tampered with by him. There is no complete design drawing. All this None of us can see it.”
"What are you going to do next?"
Ma Tao asked again.
"I have no choice but to hold on. Without confirming whether there is a spectacle lens meteorite in that armored personnel carrier, all I can do is to prevent this thing from falling into the hands of others."
After Qian Santai finished speaking, he looked at Ma Tao, suddenly smiled again, and then said: "I won't talk about this anymore. Do you still remember what I told you last time?"
"What's up?"
Ma Tao was stunned, not remembering what he said to him.
"It's about that chariot..."
Qian Santai gave a slight reminder.
Ma Tao turned his head and glanced at Gao Han without saying a word.
"What kind of car?"
As soon as he heard about the chariot, Xiao Jinzi came over again.
"I haven't thought about this yet..."
Ma Tao glared at him, and the boy quickly sat back down.
"Don't think about it. I plan to send someone to deliver the car directly to Maduo. What do you think?"
Qian Santai knew what Ma Tao's look at Gao Han meant.
In fact, this tank has been in Qian Santai's hands for a long time. A tank with amazing defense but no way to launch an attack is useless if he keeps it. He deliberately wants to use the weapon system on that tank. It was all disassembled, but considering that he had already told Ma Tao, he didn’t touch it, and besides, he didn’t need the money from selling the tank’s weapons and equipment. Since he bought it, he just gave it away as a favor. How nice.
Hearing what he said, Ma Tao hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision. He looked at Gao Han and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here today. Boss Qian, I think Gao Han should let Gao Han know the actual ownership of this tank." Decide for yourself”
Boss Qian was surprised by Ma Tao's decision, but he quickly came to his senses. According to his understanding of Ma Tao, this person's character has always been like this, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."
"What's the meaning?"
Gao Han didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned himself during this fine chat about eating.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Tao told Gao Han how Qian Santai bought the tank, when he bought it, and why he bought it.
After listening to what Ma Tao said, Gao Han's eyes were already red. Although she didn't cry, the tears in her eyes were already moist.
After blinking, the tears could not be controlled after all, and flowed down the corners of his eyes. Gao Han simply wiped them with the sleeves of his clothes, and then turned his eyes in other directions. This woman who had always been extremely strong was thinking of her brother. At that moment, I still couldn't control my feelings.
"Thanks"
After a long time, Gao Han's mood recovered a little before he spoke.
"Why are you talking about this?"
Qian Santai waved his hand and replied.
"Where is my brother's car now?"
Gao Han said.
"I have sent people to transport the cars to Nadu. I also sent people to build a parking lot there. It is probably completed."
Qian Santai looked at her with a smile and replied.
"Thanks"
This is the second time Gao Han has said these two words.
There is no way to repay a great kindness. Although Gao Han knows the relationship between Ma Tao and Qian Santai, and even knows about their narrow escape from the giant artillery position, this does not mean that he also has the same friendship as them. In all of this, Qian Santai is This decision was made for the sake of Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi.
"Your brother's chariot is very powerful, but he can't override it for some unknown reason. Maybe it's because your brother's heroic spirit is unwilling to leave, but his sister is no worse than him now, and even better. "
Qian Santai's comforting words were both sincere and flattering, making it hard for people to find fault.
"I want to go to the sewers"
After thinking deeply, Ma Tao looked at everyone.
Needless to say, Xiao Jinzi would have no problem as long as he followed Ma Tao up to the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire, let alone Gao Han. Because of her night eyes, if there really wasn't her in that place, Ma Tao's decision would have been more than half likely to fail. , and then there is Su Lanyu. In fact, the main thing is Su Lanyu.
"I am coming too"
Su Lanyu answered decisively.
"Have you decided this? It's very dangerous there. It's said that they are some very powerful mutated creatures. Is that okay? It's very dangerous there?"
Qian Santai, who looked worried, did not advocate that Ma Tao risk his life. There are many people who would do this kind of thing, but Ma Tao and the others could not do it.
"Danger? What time have we encountered not been dangerous? We are still afraid of danger."
Xiao Jinzi patted his chest and said fearlessly.
