Text Chapter 1615 This Name Is Relatively Low-Key
"This thing is called 'Green Soft Crystal', it is a very common spar, it can be burned with spiritual energy, the ignition point is 525 degrees, it has very good stability, it is often used in defensive runes and stable runes .%Chinese%Novel"
Li Yaodao, "Because it is stable enough and has excellent fusion properties, it can be used when refining many magic weapons. Basically, all refiners will carry one or two with them."
Cui Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, and looked at Li Yao inwardly without knowing.
"But my 'Green Soft Crystal' is not in the inventory of the Firefly, but purchased from the Dragon Snake Starfield. Here, it is not called by this name, but 'Bimang Crystal'."
Li Yao said seriously, "Do you understand what I mean, Speaker? In the Star Sea Republic, it is called 'Green Soft Crystal', and in the Star Federation, it is called 'Green Crystal', but to me , I don’t care what its name is at all, I just care about whether it is the kind of material I want, whether it has the properties and functions I need!”
"Whether it is called 'green soft crystal' or 'bimang crystal', its properties will not change in the slightest, its permeability is still around 79%, its ignition point is still 525 degrees, its hardness, brittleness , integration and function... are all the same!"
"So, when I need to do an experiment that happens to use just such a material, does it matter what it's called?"
"Conversely, there is actually a material called 'Green Soft Crystal' in the Star Federation, but it is completely different from what we call 'Green Soft Crystal'. It is completely different in nature and function. They have the same name, so they use the 'Green Soft Crystal' of the Star Federation to carry out extremely dangerous experiments?"
Cui Lingfeng was slightly taken aback and fell into deep thought.
"I haven't had much contact with politics, and I don't really understand the topic you just debated. Those things are too illusory to me."
Li Yao thought for a long time, then continued, "But if I really have to make a choice, I think what Captain Tang said is not unreasonable."
"The Star Sea Republic is of course a great country. We have countless proud histories and epic heroes. Even in the past thousand years, our dealings with the empire have been a bizarre and soul-stirring legend, right? An absolute miracle!"
"So, if we can 'inject' these proud histories, so many epic heroes and the miracles of the past thousand years, into the Star Federation, so that the Star Federation can fully inherit the spirit and philosophy of the Star Sea Republic, and let The people of the Star Federation can regard our history as their history, our heroes as their heroes, and our miracles as their miracles. Wouldn't it be easier to change its name than to let it be changed? Is it more important? As long as the nature is the same, it doesn't matter if it's called 'Green Soft Crystal' or 'Bimang Crystal'!"
"Since it doesn't matter"
Cui Lingfeng frowned and said, "Why can't we just stick to our name and call it 'Green Soft Crystal'?"
"This, because..."
Li Yao blinked quickly, "Because the Xingyao Federation maintains the original name, there are greater practical benefits than changing the name to the Xinghai Republic!"
"oh?"
Cui Lingfeng originally only regarded "Professor Rhodes" as the object of confidance, but he didn't expect him to be able to say why, "What's the 'practical benefit'."
"Speaker, look, all kinds of media on the Firefly are analyzing the upcoming war. Even I, who doesn't care much about national affairs, can often hear a few words."
Li Yaodao, "But I found that everyone's discussion of the situation is limited to how to deal with the Imperial Expeditionary Force, that is, the Black Wind Fleet, as if defeating the Black Wind Fleet will be all right."
"But I don't think this is right. The Black Wind Fleet is just an expeditionary force of the Empire. The Human Empire has stolen hundreds of Great Thousand Worlds from our Star Sea Republic. There are more than 100,000 starships under its command, and even more high-level monks. number!"
"Even if we really defeat the Black Wind Fleet, as long as the Human Empire thinks our threat is big enough and wants to destroy us at all costs, we can send another 'White Wind Fleet', 'Yellow Wind Fleet', The 'Purple Wind Fleet', red orange, red green, blue, blue and purple, a group of expeditionary forces take turns, no matter how strong our 'spirit' is, we can only be crushed by the real human empire, right?"
"That's right."
Cui Lingfeng thought deeply, "Continue talking."
"The reason why the Real Human Empire didn't do everything in its power to come aggressively to sweep up the border of the Star Sea is because they are in the middle of the Star Sea and are entangled by the Covenant Alliance."
Li Yaodao, "From the perspective of the empire, competing with the Holy League for supremacy in the center of the Star Sea is the most important thing, and sweeping up the 'wild country' at the edge of the Star Sea is just a trivial matter, so we can get a chance to breathe and develop secretly. .”
"Suppose now that we have defeated the Black Wind Fleet in the name of the 'Xingyao Federation' and the news spreads to the capital of the empire, Tianjixing, perhaps the empire will still regard us as a relatively powerful 'small wild country', and when dealing with us, just They will weigh the pros and cons and calculate the gains and losses. It is unlikely that they will mobilize the elite forces that will confront us with the Holy League. Even after calculating that the cost of the expedition and occupation is too high, the gains and losses may outweigh the gains, and negotiations, bribes, and solicitations will occur. thoughts, don't you?"
"Historically, there has never been a central dynasty that can completely wipe out the small barbaric countries around it, and the Empire of True Humans is no exception!"
"However, if we defeat the Black Wind Fleet in the name of the 'Star Sea Republic', it will be completely different!"
"For the Real Human Empire, the Star Sea Republic is the 'former dynasty', and their process of stealing the power of the 'former dynasty' is not very honorable. We will always be a thorn in the throat of the empire, like a thorn in the throat!"
"Discovering an unknown wild and small country on the edge of the star sea may be tolerated by the empire; discovering that the 'former dynasty' has revived and has the ability to defeat an elite fleet of the empire, this is a threat that can never be tolerated, yes Shaking the 'country base' of the true human empire!"
"At that time, the True Human Empire will definitely send out...what I just said, 'red orange red green blue blue purple', a steady stream of expeditionary troops to wipe out the 'remnants of the previous dynasty' at all costs!"
"To sum up, what I mean is that the name 'Xingyao Federation' is relatively low-key, and the name 'Xinghai Republic' is too high-profile. We are so weak now, there is really no need to care about these false names. It is serious to find a way to survive first!"
Cui Lingfeng stared at Li Yao quietly, his gaze was very deep, he didn't know whether he had listened to Li Yao's words, or was thinking about other issues, he suddenly said: "I really didn't expect that Professor Rhodes is not only an outstanding weapon refiner Master, there is such a strategic vision."
Li Yao: "Uh, besides refining weapons, I also watch some political comments from the media, as a way of relaxation and mental exercise."
Cui Lingfeng: "...Really?"
Li Yao glanced at the big bear bodyguards with indifferent faces on both sides. He didn't know how to deal with it. The vacuum pipe truck trembled slightly, as if it had slipped to the exit.
"Sir, we're here."
Cheng Xuansu got out of the car first, and gently opened the door for them from the outside, and four bodyguards got out of the car with Cui Lingfeng and Li Yao sandwiched between them.
But the outside does not look like "Battle Fort No. 1", but a dimly lit, rusty, empty abandoned station.
A rusty wind blows from nowhere, making the place feel a bit ghostly.
"Shua! Shua, Shua, Shua!"
Behind Li Yao and Cui Lingfeng, the four big bear bodyguards silently summoned the crystal armor and turned into four ferocious steel beasts.
The three crystal eyes on Cheng Xuansu's left face were so red that they were about to drip blood. The chief of the secret police pulled out a large-caliber miniature bolt gun from his waist and stared at Cui Lingfeng expressionlessly.
it is more than words.
Cui Lingfeng looked at the surrounding environment, trembled slightly, understood, and said with a gloomy face: "Aren't you Cheng Xuansu?"
"No."
The head of the secret police lowered his head and adjusted the frequency of the crystal agitation of the bolt gun, and said calmly, "I am Cheng Xuansu, and I am not an impostor."
"It's impossible, anyone on the Firefly could be a cultivator, but you are absolutely impossible!"
Cui Lingfeng seemed to be bombarded by the imperial fleet, and his whole body was swallowed by invisible flames, "Your father is the greatest hero in the thousand-year voyage of the Firefly, and he led us to survive hundreds of times the imperial army's siege and interception once." Breaking through the siege for the first time, if it weren't for his last heroic sacrifice, we would never have come to where we are today!"
"You are his daughter, how could you be a cultivator, how could you surrender to the empire?"
Cheng Xuansu smiled, his smile was as cold as the shell of a starship in the dark sea of stars: "That man is not my father, but just my sperm provider. After that, the sperm he stored in the depths of the starship was extracted, and I was conceived, he and I have nothing to do with each other."
"Why?"
Cui Lingfeng paused word by word, "Why did you do that?"
"You forced us."
Cheng Xuansu said, "Originally we didn't intend to kill you, you are a very useful shield, you can stabilize the situation on the Firefly as much as possible before the arrival of the Black Wind Fleet, and let you come forward to contain the Star Federation , I blame you for being so paranoid that you even came up with a way to randomly select a craftsman to check the 'lie detector', and our...Professor Rhodes' professional level is really too high , I really saw the flaw, we have no choice but to make a bad move."
Cui Lingfeng raised his voice: "I'm asking why you betrayed your father, betrayed the glory of the Star Sea Republic, and joined the True Human Empire!" (To be continued.)
