Chapter 286: Chapter 231: [Light-Speed Piercing Steed Spaceship (Red)], Preparing to Create Super Intelligent Life!_2
Among the items, one particular toy spaceship made Zi Liyuan place it in his cart without hesitation.
[Light Speed Chase Spaceship (Red): A toy spaceship the size of a human head, capable of light-speed flight, wormhole traversal, constructed of special metals, with a mini quantum computer unit, advanced intelligence module (spaceship version), and a universal star map locator.]
“Major Zi, this spaceship cannot be exchanged. It’s too dangerous.”
Seeing Lord Zi adding the [Light Speed Chase Spaceship (Red)] to the cart without any hesitation, Liu Guozhong immediately tried to stop him.
“Is it because of the last part of the description (universal star map locator)?”
“Exactly, this thing could potentially expose Blue Star’s location in the universe, leading to invasions by races related to the Mechanical Race!”
The black technology contained within this toy spaceship could only be described as terrifying.
Such a toy was definitely not simple; it could very well autonomously send out location signals and be detected by the Mechanical Race that created it.
By then, Blue Star could become a target for conquest, potentially leading to the annihilation of its species.
“What if I can solve the problem of Blue Star’s coordinates being leaked?”
This spaceship was definitely the perfect host to integrate the [Iron Ambition]!
Once this spaceship became a super-intelligent life form, would the backdoors left by its creators on this spaceship still be effective?
After becoming a true life form, would the spaceship allow itself to retain a fatal flaw?
“If you insist on exchanging for this item, I’ll need to apply for authorization.”
Liu Guozhong hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind.
“Then please apply for me. This item is extremely important to me, and even to the entire Great Xia Empire!”
Zi Liyuan nodded firmly.
Quantum computers, ah!
In his past life on Earth, such black technology only existed in movies and TV shows, and even in most of those, it was merely mentioned and not truly possessed.
If he could endow this thing with super-intelligent life and then ascend in black technology, the scenario was somewhat idyllic…
“Alright then.”
Seeing Zi Liyuan’s determined look, Liu Guozhong immediately nodded, then took out a jade token to report using his spirit power.
Zi Liyuan didn’t say anything else and continued browsing other items.
After looking over all the items, he couldn’t help but sigh – the military treasury’s collection was truly vast, of high quality, and full of dazzling, eccentric treasures.
“Major Zi, the superior has approved your exchange for the [Light Speed Chase Spaceship (Red)].”
Liu Guozhong spoke to Lord Zi, who yawned and had perused a small portion of the military treasury’s catalogue.
“How many [Hearts of the Lord] is this thing exchanged for?”
After all, it was a red legendary item, and despite its appearance as a toy, its value was immeasurable.
Of course, this was on the premise that you could decipher the various black technologies within it.
“Ten [Hearts of the Lord].”
“Deal!”
Without any haggling, Zi Liyuan immediately agreed, sending the trade request and unhesitatingly adding ten [Hearts of the Lord] to it.
Watching Lord Zi act as if he were afraid the military would go back on their word, Liu Guozhong felt like slapping himself in the face.
Dammit, he agreed so readily – I clearly should have asked for more!
But the price of ten [Hearts of the Lord] was already higher than what he had pitched.
The instructions from his superiors were that as long as the price was not lower than two [Hearts of the Lord], they could sell it to Zi Liyuan.
He never expected that after he raised the value fivefold, the man would agree without a second thought, without any indication of wanting to bargain.
Such a huge loss!
But there was no way to be dishonest; the military couldn’t afford to lose that kind of face.
“Don’t you want to check out anything else?”
There were a total of seven items added to Lord Zi’s shopping cart, but seeing the current situation, although they were all added to the cart, the only one he really wanted was the [Red Light Speed Sprinter Spaceship] among the listed items.
“No need, with this thing, the trip won’t be in vain.”
However, I still want you to urge Old Huang for me, when he can gather everything needed for the Fourth Order Lord Level transfer quest.
I really need to reach the Fourth Order level now.”
Being stuck at this level is somewhat uncomfortable, especially since he had already prepared to make a move on the Year Three and Year Four students of Dragon Academy.
Compared to the second-year students, these older students’ overall strength is definitely going to be stronger, maybe even among the Blue Star’s very top-notch.
Zi Liyuan was not confident enough to believe that with his current Level 80 Third Order strength, he could crush the top elites of Blue Star.
Moreover, he was planning to take a spin at the teachers of Dragon Academy as well.
“I’ll ask General Huang for you.”
As for urging, that was impossible; at most, he would just pass along the message.
“Wait at the military base for a bit, in about half an hour, the [Red Light Speed Sprinter Spaceship] you wanted will be delivered.”
“Alright, thanks Colonel Liu. If it arrives, let me know; I’m going to check out the situation at the munitions company first.”
Lord Zi nodded, exchanged pleasantries, and then headed directly to his munitions company.
With the red passbook paving the way, as long as he did not enter any restricted areas in the military base, he could basically move about unhindered.
Without disturbing Shen Yurou, who was still teaching the students hands-on, Lord Zi went straight to the product warehouse.
With the military overseeing, the automated production line had already started manufacturing weapons; pistols, grenades, bullets, these items were being produced in large quantities, and the warehouse was practically overflowing with them.
When Lord Zi arrived, however, he saw Uncle Wang Fu leading some people, conducting handovers.
The official sales channel was to send Wang Fu to pick up the goods and then transport them to the sales locations.
After all, the munitions company is only nominally his and Shen Yurou’s; in reality, it is completely controlled by the Great Xia Empire. They just need to sit back and collect money.
For Zi Liyuan, this was fine. With official backing, all that mattered were their own interests being met.
The purpose of opening the munitions company was only to resolve some future worries about training subordinates.
So what if he acquired a huge fortune?
The wealth on Blue Star could at most be converted into some low-level Sea of Realms resources, and those medium to high-level resources could not be obtained with Blue Star’s currency at all.
Thus, after a casual glance at the produced goods, he idled his way to the training ground within the military base.
A group of new recruits was undergoing training here.
Looking at these new soldiers who had just entered the First Order, Zi Liyuan felt somewhat nostalgic.
If his awakened talent and profession were also very ordinary and he hadn’t been able to get into college, perhaps enlisting would have been his only way out.
The half-hour flew by in no time, and Liu Guozhong quickly found him, handing over the [Red Light Speed Sprinter Spaceship], and warned him about the potential dangers the item might cause, advising him not to be careless.
Zi Liyuan also patiently assured him for the first time that he would not be reckless.
He then directly asked Liu Guozhong to take him to the instance altar within the military base.
He casually chose a Level 100 Fourth Order instance and dashed into it with a swift move.
He was already eager to create a superintelligent life, but before doing so, he had to ensure all preparations were completed.
Summoning, a vast undead army began to move grandly across the instance space.
Next up, the epic Bosses made their spectacular entrances, followed by Lao Tie, the Spider Queen, the Old Turtle, and the Demon Spider.
After these Bosses were ready, Zi Liyuan took out an Array Plate already prepared for a contract altar, alongside several spatial restriction scrolls and an array plate designed to use magic-prohibiting spells.
Having prepared every item, he finally took out the [Red Light Speed Sprinter Spaceship] artifact.
Spirit and Spiritual Power emerged from his body, activating the artifact instantly.
A silver-white spaceship shaped like an American football quietly floated in front of him.
