Chapter 2602 Underground Knowledge

"Wu Yingqi is really crazy!"

Li Yao also murmured, "Today is different from the past. Ten thousand years ago, the crust of Tianji star had undergone drastic changes, and it was in an artificially unstable state. Continents sank into the sea, while large swaths of the ocean floor rose hundreds of meters to form new land.

"The surface of a planet has undergone such earth-shaking changes. It is not known whether the residents living in the surface cities can survive. At least the tens of billions of residents who originally lived underground, including those who originally lived in the big iron factory, must not be able to survive. You are about to die, Wu Yingqi can really do such a thing?"

"Of course he can."

Li Jialing gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Chenghu's cruelty and cruelty as an immortal cultivator, if it is three to five million casualties, it must be regarded as an 'acceptable price' or even a 'must pay sacrifice', it's no big deal, But Wu Yingqi didn't dare to tell Lei Chenghu the truth, it can be seen that in his plan, the number of people who are destined to die will far exceed the number of three to five billion people, even more than ten billion people!"

Such appalling numbers made the three of them fall silent at the same time.

And the regular vibrations from time to time in the underground cracks made them feel the extreme fear that the rock formations were about to close up and bury them in it at any time.

Fortunately, whenever a strong vibration occurs, there is no need to worry that Wu Yingqi's security weapon will detect their movements. Li Yao can safely and boldly take out the Xuanguang drill and move forward. The speed is much faster. Drilled into the spacious and flat tunnel that was there last time.

There is a tunnel ahead, listening to the sound, from time to time, a very heavy crawler truck "rumbles" past. Li Yao and the three of them are dormant at the corner of the rock crevice, but they release a few fly-sized crystal eyes to drill out to explore.

A few crystal eyes flew out of the gap without a sound, just in time to see a mighty convoy extending from one end of the tunnel to the other, and the ends on both sides could not be seen clearly.

Most of the vehicles that make up the convoy are ultra-heavy crawler vehicles with a load capacity of more than 100 tons, like moving hills.

The truck body was covered with oilcloth, and judging from the traces of the tracks deeply embedded in the ground, it was all driven with a full load, and it lasted for an extremely long time, leaving clear indentations on the ground.

Li Yao held his breath, released strands of divine thoughts, carefully manipulated a few crystal eyes, and drilled into the gaps in the oilcloth.

"Is it a spar, so many high-purity top-quality spar?"

Li Yao was slightly taken aback, the image sent back by Jingyan was a bit dazzled.

Under the seemingly unremarkable oilcloth, there are loads of colorful high-purity crystals, all of which have been refined repeatedly and can be directly absorbed by practitioners without any problem.

Li Yao even found several crystal essences, all of which are priceless and rare treasures!

Regardless of the crystal stones or the crystal essence, it can be seen that the sources are various, and they were packed very hastily. Many crystal stones were not placed in the standard storage box, and they were scattered randomly in the open air.

Doing so will not only affect the quality of the spar, it may easily cause combustion or even explode, and it may also release a large amount of radiation, which will harm the body of the carrier.

Moreover, Li Yao felt that the polishing method of several crystal stones was very strange - they were all polished into an octagonal rhombus like a shuttle, with hundreds of offensive runes engraved on the surface.

Li Yao thought about it for a long time, what kind of purpose would polish the spar into this shape, and engrave so many offensive runes inside and out?

After three minutes, I finally realized that these high-purity crystals should be used to drive large-scale air defense positions, and they are the ammunition for emptying the crystal cannon or the Xuanguang cannon!

Since Tianji Star is the capital of the empire, it naturally has an extremely complete defense network and air defense facilities. The entire planet is densely covered with anti-aircraft guns piercing the sea of ​​stars. It is simply a super giant steel hedgehog.

The amount of various types of crystals and ammunition stored in the imperial capital is naturally astronomical and innumerable.

But now, Wu Yingqi unloaded a large number of spars and even crystal marrow that drove the air defense position, and carried them deep underground.

Li Yao manipulated Jingyan, randomly selected a few tracked trucks, and got into the truck body to look at them. The result was the same. A large number of anti-aircraft positions and even the spars used on starships were all dismantled and transported underground.

"What does it mean?"

Li Yao blinked his eyes quickly, "The ace fleets of the four major families are approaching the city, and they will launch a general attack on Tianjixing in a few days. At such a critical moment, it is reasonable to say that the air defense positions are most needed to show their power, but Wu Yingqi destroyed the Great Wall by himself. , and transported a large amount of spar used for air defense to the ground, isn't he planning to have an atmospheric defense line?"

Li Yao shared the pictures and questions he saw with Long Yangjun and Li Jialing. The three discussed for a while and came to two conclusions.

First, Wu Yingqi really trusts this secret weapon buried deep in the ground. He firmly believes that as long as this secret weapon exists, other defensive measures are unnecessary, and even the entire Tianji Star does not need to keep half of the air defense. The crystal cannon, as long as the secret weapon is activated, he will win.

Second, the activation of this secret weapon consumes an astronomical amount of energy, so the martial arts prodigy spared no effort to collect spars and crystal essences everywhere.

In the past few months, he estimated that he had squeezed out the entire Celestial Star. He had searched out all the spars in the arsenal, magic weapon warehouse, and scattered among the people. That's why these spars came from various sources, and there was no time to properly store and collect them. Transportation, in the end, he didn't even spare the air defense positions, and transported all the crystals in one go.

Of course, not all of these crystals will supply secret weapons, and a small part of them should be used to blow up the most vulnerable places in the geological structure, causing the earth's crust to tear, allowing the secret weapons to be lifted up.

"What level of magic weapon would consume a whole planet's spar?"

Li Yao couldn't imagine it, "Could it be the legendary 'star magic weapon'?"

After seeing the materials loaded in the truck, Li Yao paid special attention to scanning the soldiers who carried out the secret mission to transport these crystals.

Because Li Yao always had a puzzling doubt about who was the one who helped Wu Yingqi do these horrific and insane things.

That's right, Wu Yingqi's base is militarists like Yulinjun and Lei Chenghu who are eager to restore the glory of the former empire and advocate the orthodox concept of cultivating immortals.

As long as Wu Yingqi proves his identity as the "Black Star Emperor", most of the Imperial Forest Army will definitely follow their ancestors.

But no matter how inhumane it is, there must be a limit, right?

The hometown of most of the Royal Forest Army is Tianjixing. Their ancestors have lived on Tianjixing for dozens of generations, including now, most of their wives and children also live here. This planet is their home, this planet is theirs. everything!

If Wu Yingqi asked them to fight desperately with the four major families, Li Yao believed that most of the Imperial Forest Army would have the courage to fight to the end.

But if Wu Yingqi asked them to blow up the entire Celestial Pole Star, their home where they had lived for nearly a thousand years, and their own wife, children, and children along the way—they would be too crazy to obey orders!

Li Yao didn't believe that Wu Yingqi could trick so many imperial guards into working for him with just deception, even at the expense of destroying his homeland and relatives.

It is extremely unreasonable to transport so many crystals to the depths of the ground, and even give up the air defense positions on the ground.

Most of the Royal Forest Army are immortal cultivators, and they have some brains. Who would rush forward without thinking about what's going on?

Therefore, Li Yao focused his attention on the Imperial Forest Army escorting the convoy.

Especially those officers with flowers on their shoulders and a rather powerful aura around them.

After carefully scanning the temperament and expressions of these officers, Li Yao felt a very strange feeling.

How should I put it, although being a soldier is to be serious and meticulous, but these imperial soldiers wearing the first-generation military uniforms of the empire, all in pitch black, seem too lifeless.

Their eyes are firm, their expressions are firm, their movements are uniform, except for their even breathing, they are no different from machines.

Li Yao couldn't say that they didn't have any human emotions, but 90% of their emotions were filled with fanaticism and piety.

"Let's take a look, what kind of breed are these?"

Li Yao shared the images scanned by Jingyan with Long Yangjun and Li Jialing.

"They seem to..."

Li Jialing looked at it for a long time, and said, "It's very similar to the worry-free believers in the big iron factory."

"That's right, the brain magnetic field they released is very weird, and it has produced a certain degree of artificial intervention. They are all adjusted to the same frequency and are in a certain 'resonance'."

Jun Long Yang said, "You can say that they have been collectively hypnotized, or that they are in a state of group unconsciousness and widespread delusion. Of course, it is okay to say that they have been brainwashed."

"It turns out that Wu Yingqi used this method to make a large number of imperial guards work for him!"

Li Yao recalled that he had seen a large number of Holy League prisoners rioting in Shenwei Prison. The brain magnetic fields of those Holy League members were indeed somewhat similar to the group of imperial guards in front of them.

Wu Yingqi tried to brainwash him in the Seven Seas Market, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful, but it also proved that this guy has some kind of extremely terrifying brainwashing technology, and he is a copy of the Holy League!

It's not easy to brainwash Li Yao, but hypnotizing and controlling a few imperial guards who trust him deeply is naturally not a problem.

"However, it is not easy to draw conclusions just by observing from a distance."

Lord Long Yang said, "It's best to secretly control a few imperial guards and scan their brains in all directions to find out what's wrong with them."

Li Yao was thinking about how to capture some prisoners, when there was a commotion in front of the tunnel.
