Chapter 145 - He Can't Cultivate, What To Do? (part.2)

Mu Liang thought about this difficult problem, having no choice but to ask for help from his system, which gave him an unusual solution.

"I have a prescription for a pill called Tuning the Soul, this is to integrate the power of the soul with the body. In short, we will transform your body so that you can receive Heavenly Qi"

"That's great, but why is your tone a little down?"

"Because the ingredients for this pill are a little hard to get... Cough... Cough... You can look for some of these herbs online, but the main ingredient I'm pretty sure is in the imperial treasure..."

"What is the ingredient?"

"A leaf from the World Tree is the main ingredient that will cause the transformation in your body... There is one more problem..."

"Is there still more? Say it all at once!"

"You will need to take the pill yourself as you need your soul strength... Also, it has to be in the concrete world for the pill to absorb the surrounding Celestial Qi..."

"I'm not an alchemist... I don't have the Qi to generate the fire to melt the ingredients!" Mu Liang was stunned by such an idea of ​​his system. He was a swordsman and at best understood about building a sword or some items with blades, but he didn't know much about alchemy.

"So, here's one more problem... For that, you need one of the mysterious fires to burn the ingredients, fire generated by Qi isn't too strong to burn a World Tree leaf... Learning alchemy wouldn't be so difficult, there are many books about it... I sent a message to the goddess Lan-Lan and she will send an expert to visit us"

"When did you talk to the goddess?" Mu Liang asked in surprise. The system and the goddess Lan-Lan talked and decided things behind his back.

"It's been a few days since I saw you failing miserably to gather Celestial Qi... The expert will help you learn some Alchemy, just enough for you to inject soul power into the pill preparation the rest he'll get you to guide personally at every step"

"When does the specialist come?" Mu Liang said already giving up on arguing with his system, it wouldn't be bad to have divine assistance with his problem.

"Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I'm saying now..."

Mu Liang: (...)

In the meeting hall in the emperor's palace, silence reigned, which was strange given the number of people who were in the place not to mention the holographic screens where some governors were watching the meeting.

However, the shocking news that the Mecha's development plans had leaked out to their long-time enemies was something to be scared of and keep silent in dismay.

"Is this information correct?" Ade asked breaking the disturbing silence, all eyes were focused on Gyasi's body, hoping with the hope that there was still doubt about such information.

"Yes, at night came the investigation reports from our spies and the analysis of our systems. Gathering the information we find a billionaire diversion of Stones of the Order and that they fell into the hands of the Holy Empire, in addition, the plants of the new Mechas and some of the current Mechas were also sent to the Holy Empire... In addition, there is the disappearance of two scientists from the Academy of Science and Technology who worked on the new Mechas with the army... From the data we received these scientists are in the Holy Empire now"

Gyasi said it was like a big bomb not only for dirty treachery, but it could also mean the collapse of the armed forces as their Mechas had been exposed to the enemies.

"I ask your majesty to speak once more," Gyasi asked when everyone started talking and fussing, thus drawing everyone's attention back to himself.

"Permission granted" Ade spoke with a headache coming on. It was as if everything resolved to explode in his tenure as emperor. However, he kept himself with a neutral and calm expression, he couldn't show the signs of dismay otherwise the others would despair about the situation.

"Your Majesty has had a plan for some time to build the Mecha carcass so that any species could pilot the Mecha. Previously this would have been a bad idea, but now that the Mecha plans of our empire have been stolen, why not execute this idea, Your Majesty? Think about it, the difference would be the weapons, shields, Mecha gadgets, but if the Mecha carcass is the same this would not only facilitate production, it would also minimize the many weaknesses of the various species that appear in the Mechas"

The example if creating a single powerful core the Elves wouldn't need two cores for themselves and the elementals. Two cores in Mecha are dangerous if energies clash causing explosions or Mecha malfunctions.

A single, powerful core would be much better to handle and protect, but the Elves have settled for Mechas having two cores so far. In fact, they thought they were superior because of this, so they stagnated research on the subject and focused on developing intergalactic warships and exploration, but that could change with a single powerful core. project.

"This is nonsense!"

"The Mechas represent the military power of each nation, no madman would want to standardize the carcasses!"

"Do we have the technology for this?"

"Do we have enough resources for this?"

"Silence!" Ade raised the voice that echoed in the room drowning out the voices of the others who seemed even more agitated and a little more hopeful after what Gyasi had said.

"Keep talking General Azikiwe"

"In investigating the Academy of Technology and Science, we discovered files about a new stone found on one of the new planets we are currently colonizing. The stone has very high energy and just a small sample would equal the power of a Mecha core... I think that's our solution for a powerful core."

"Just a moment, General Azikiwe. Shouldn't these archives already have fallen into the hands of the Holy Empire?" a governor suddenly asked, speaking what others thought.

"Here's the thing, these files were very precious and needed two keys to access the file. One of the keys is one of the scientists who are on my exploration crew," Gyasi said with a smile, which caused the others to smile as well.

"And this scientist who is on your exploration crew, is he a trustworthy person?" Juma Berta asked after the wave of joy passed through the meeting hall.

"Very reliable, but just for the record I asked to be tested on it, it's clean"

After that, the discussion turned to who they would work with to create this universal Mecha shell and the most powerful core ever seen in the galaxy.

Of course, it was necessary to calm everyone down and they would have to hold a new meeting, but with the army scientists and researchers from the Academy of Science and Technology to be able to better discuss the matter.

"I heard that the famous Dr. Feng is in the Fourth Prince Mu's delegation, right? If this is true, it would be good to ask if she could attend the meeting as a listener, her opinion would be interesting" the prime minister suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

"Dr. Feng is famous for researching hybrids between humans and other species concerning how they controlled the Mechas... Also, mechanic Ji Huo who is part of the very famous Mecha combat team at tournaments maintains and improves the Mechas for hybrids, I believe that the vision of these two specialists is very good for the formation of our future research group." Juma Berta completed the Prime Minister's explanation.

"Yes, as the third prince Gyasi will marry the fourth prince Mu, there would be no better ally than the Tang-Kai Empire, which is already pioneering research between hybrids and Mechas," the prime minister added, already showing that there would be a viable partner.

"This is interesting"

"Humans have much more malleable and adaptable genetics"

"Yes, human research on hybrids is already well advanced"

"Dr. Feng is an expert on the subject, she would be a great help in our research"

The meeting, which started with sad news, ended with great excitement and everyone had greater hopes of overcoming this hard blow of betrayal.

"Silence, your majesty wants to speak!" the imperial envoy spoke through the voice booster making his voice echo throughout the hall causing the others to fall silent.

"So, let's plan everything at the next meeting. Let's finish here. The next meeting will be with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the new head of the Academy of Science and Technology, and General Azikiwe, only after I have all the data and confirmation of the feasibility of such a project will we set up the research team and bioengineering to realize this ambition of ours"

"Meeting Closed" the imperial envoy announced rising along with the emperor and the prime minister.
