Chapter 471 Crossroads

The moonlight quietly fell along the window sill into the wing room, reflecting on Xu Xinyao's watery eyes.

Staring at her, for a moment, Xu Yuan felt that he was really moved.

Trying every possible way to reduce the volume and expand the capacity, this is what energy has been doing.

He understood what Xu Xinyao meant by the soul ring at this moment. The soul ring can carry the soul of old man Luo, so it can naturally carry monsters such as demons built by soul power.

But soon, the heartbeat in Xu Yuan's heart quickly cooled down.

Putting aside the feasibility, Xu Yuan felt that Xu Xinyao was really thoughtful.

As an existence that can accommodate the soul of the holy level, it is used to store demons. Compared with the source crystal of the same volume, the energy it can accommodate is probably at least a thousand times more than the source crystal.

In the underground palace, a box of source crystal bombs made by special treatment can blow the Transcendental Ghost at the center of the explosion to death. If it is replaced with a box of soul rings of the same volume

Immortal Killing Weapon.

Well, the fantasy is over.

This is just in theory.

Let alone the extremely exquisite array pattern technique of old man Luo's soul ring, I'm afraid that the materials alone may not be found now, and even if they can be found, the cost is simply not affordable for the Xiangfu at this stage.

What's more.

"Third brother, are you worried about the materials?"

Xu Xinyao looked at Xu Yuan's eyes that gradually cooled from excitement, and whispered quickly:

"Although I haven't asked Senior Luo yet, the materials used to make the soul ring must be extremely precious, but we don't actually need to replicate the soul ring one-to-one. There are countless natural materials and treasures in the world. Even if the materials used to make the soul ring have become extinct, we can always find lower-level substitutes. Even if the effect of the soul ring is only one-tenth of the original body, or even one-hundredth of the effect, it is enough."

Listening to Xu Xinyao's sales pitch, Xu Yuan pondered for a while, smiled lightly and shook his head.

With the moonlight and the inscription lamp in the house, looking at the girl's flawless face, Xu Yuan smiled and said:

"You should tell your father about this."

"." Xu Xinyao pursed her lips and fell silent.

Looking at the expression of the fourth sister in front of him, Xu Yuan understood instantly.

Obviously, she had told her father about this.

"Rejected?" Xu Yuan said softly, then shook his head: "Oh no, father will not reject you directly, he should ask him to consider it."

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Yeah"

When she found this, she immediately found her father, but her father just said to consider it and let her have a good rest.

Xu Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and said ambiguously:

"In fact, if the matter you mentioned was ten years earlier or ten years later, my father would definitely agree. After all, he has always attached great importance to the study of things."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"But at this juncture, my father is simply not likely to agree."

Xu Xinyao suddenly raised her eyes, her voice somewhat unwilling:

"There are many, many money-burning projects in the Institute of Study of Things. The value of this soul-nourishing ring is definitely more important than those!"

"You are right."

Xu Yuan nodded, followed Xu Xinyao's words and said with a little comfort: "If it succeeds, it will be an unprecedented innovation for Dayan."

"Why then."

"Because of the investment and dedication, and it's too late."

"."Xu Xinyao looked at her stubbornly.

She firmly believed that her idea was right.

If it succeeds, all kinds of arrays, various civilian facilities, agricultural and sericulture items, and even travel tools that could not be realized before due to huge energy consumption will usher in earth-shaking changes.

After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan said softly:

"There are very few array masters and weapon refiners in the Institute of Gewu who can participate in your research. If they are transferred to you, it will inevitably affect the progress of the original project in hand."

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao's expression became a little strange, and she bit her lips lightly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan snorted:

"Yes, those studies on war equipment and arrays will be affected by your project."

However, when it comes to this, Xu Yuan's lips are slightly hooked, and his eyes are teasing:

"It's not shameful to have ideals, but at least you have to be down to earth.

"Even if the original intention of the developer is not like this, all new technologies will be used in the military field first. No one should know this better than you."

"Brother! "

Xu Xinyao gritted her teeth, staring at Xu Yuan with a hint of anger in her watery eyes.

"Xinyao."

Xu Yuan ignored her, leaned back on the chair behind him, crossed his legs, and continued to speak slowly:

"You can imagine what would happen if the soul-nourishing ring you want to make now is used in the military?"

"."

After staring at each other for two seconds, Xu Xinyao turned away angrily:

"No matter what you make, you can use it to kill people."

Xu Yuan chuckled and continued:

"It's just a matter of fact. If you really succeed in this matter, many new weapons will be developed. At the very least, the military array crossbow will become more powerful after having a charging object like the soul-nourishing ring, and its killing efficiency will become higher. At the very least."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan gently knocked on the mahogany table in front of him and smiled slightly:

"If we could produce a soul-nurturing ring the size of this table, with just one, the entire Di'an City would be incinerated."

After the words fell, the room was silent.

Xu Yuan stared at the girl opposite and chuckled:

"Even so, do you still want to insist on studying this project?"

Xu Xinyao's bright eyes became cloudy and uncertain.

It was quiet for a long time before Xu Xinyao's voice sounded faintly:

"In this case, why would father reject me?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised:

"Even so, are you willing to continue doing it?"

"No matter what I do, you will use it for military purposes."

After saying that, Xu Xinyao became quiet for a while and said in a faint tone:

"And if it really had that kind of power, perhaps many fewer people would die on the battlefield."

"."

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect Xu Xinyao to say such words, nor did he expect that she could realize the possible consequences of such a weapon in an instant.

But then he sighed in his heart.

Because it's a pity that this is not the previous life.

Every saint is a human-shaped nuclear weapon, and Xu Yuan did not see the war stop its approach because of the presence of saints.

Even if soul-nurturing rings can be mass-produced, the war cannot stop because of this weapon called "soul-nurturing rings".

When they were in the underground palace, the reason why that box of source crystal bombs was able to blow up the mortal ghost half to death was entirely because it had no intelligence.

If it were any other normal metamorphosis powerhouse, there would be a hundred ways to avoid it.

"I'm just talking about the best-case scenario."

Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered: "This kind of thing can effectively kill high-level cultivators."

"But it can be used on the battlefield." Xu Xinyao suddenly said.

"." Xu Yuan blinked.

"The super-large military formation may not be able to be broken, but it should be possible with a scale of ten thousand people. Then it can be used to open up strategic nodes." Xu Xinyao's voice had a hint of urgency.

"It's too expensive and I can't afford it."

Xu Yuan immediately denied it: "If this method was effective, the master of the battlefield would have been the Source Crystal Bomb instead of the current military formation."

"elder brother!"

Xu Xinyao stood up slightly and raised her voice, interrupting Xu Yuan: "There will always be military use!"

"."

Xu Yuan was silent, staring at the other person with strange eyes.

military?

He never thought that one day he would hear such words from the mouth of the fourth sister of the Holy Mother.

After realizing her dangerous words, Xu Xinyao suddenly fell into silence.

After a long time, Xu Xinyao softly sounded in the quiet room:

"In your eyes, am I stupid?"

Xu Yuan's eyes looked unclear and he touched his chin. Instead of answering, he asked:

"Do you understand the reality?"

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao trembled slightly, put her hands on her knees and tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and showed a smile that looked like she was crying:

"When I talked about this with my father, I saw the contents of the memorial in his hand.

"Because of the war with the sect, the Northland was filled with blood, tens of millions of people died, and the victims were in the hundreds of millions.

"The general trend is already like this,

"elder brother

"Don't you think that everything I did before is ridiculous in the face of father's plan?"

The side room is silent and the incense is lingering.

Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.

He felt that his father definitely did it on purpose, and his purpose was obviously achieved.

in silence,

Xu Yuan slowly stood up, walked to the girl's side, raised his hand and gently pressed her trembling shoulder:

"You didn't cause this, so why should you be sad?"

"Why not?!"

Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes, her fingertips embedded into the flesh of her thighs through her skirt, and her voice seemed to have been suppressed for a long time:

“We, the Prime Minister’s Office, are one of the initiators and also have vested interests!!”

"."

After Xu Yuan heard this, the scene of Xu Xinyao betraying the Prime Minister in "Cang Yuan" subconsciously appeared in his mind because it was too similar.

[So, our prime minister is the initiator of all this? 】

This is the question she asked in "Cangyuan".

In "Cang Yuan", Xu Xinyao's betrayal is a very long process.

From the first time he knew that the initiator of the war was his father, to the subsequent refugees who saw the war with their own eyes, to the desperate cries of countless people when they saw the Black Scale Army slaughtering the city.

After going through more than ten plots, she finally fell to the sect's side.

The moment he thought of it, Xu Yuan suppressed it.

He knew very well that Xu Xinyao was very confused now and needed someone to guide her.

The order and time of appearance of characters are very important.

In "Cang Yuan", when the four sisters received this information, they were followed by the plot protagonist Qin Mo and a group of people from the sect.

With guidance along the way, she successfully went astray.
