Chapter 473 I’ll be responsible
Xu Yuan was silent, still speechless.
He understood why the father would leave Xu Xinyao's matter to him.
The father knew very well that although the path that the fourth sister had found was feasible, it was also a dead end.
Because, it’s too late.
The current situation is such that an arrow is imminent and has to be fired.
If the imperial court was the yintang of the Prime Minister, then this matter might still have a slight possibility, but there was still a royal family in the imperial court, and there was the dying emperor.
Li Yaoxuan would not agree.
The policy set by the father and the emperor from the very beginning was to end with war, and they have been working hard in this direction for decades since they have been in power.
Even if the father informed him of the plan, all he would get was an unhappy separation.
When Li Yaoxuan was about to die, if he told him this plan, he would only feel that it was a betrayal, a complete betrayal.
Because even if all of Xu Xinyao's current research data were presented to Li Yaoxuan, it would still be impossible to prove the feasibility of the soul-nurturing ring, let alone how long it would take for the soul-nurturing ring technology to mature.
Li Yaoxuan can’t afford to wait.
After his death, under the leadership of Xu Yinhe, no one will be able to restrict the Prime Minister's Office.
Xu Yinhe's prestige accumulated over the past few decades was so high that he agreed to this plan. Without Li Yaoxuan's restrictions, during the long process of developing the soul-raising ring, everything in the court would be cannibalized by him bit by bit. All.
Hence, this matter cannot be told to the prime minister’s only ally at this stage.
This point is unsolvable.
The situation is now clear. The emperor named Li Yaoxuan wanted to do something to maintain the rule of the royal family before he died.
Otherwise, he would not be so eager to destroy the barbarians, let alone attack the northern sects in such a hurry.
Over the past year or so, Emperor Li Yaoxuan has been the first to make the move, and the old man has only followed up in cooperation.
But every move Li Yaoxuan made these few times was a risky move.
One wrong step and it will be doomed.
In the battle of the barbarians, if it weren't for the supplies he brought through the Xumi Ring provided in the Qionghua Secret Realm, and if it weren't for the information he obtained through "Cangyuan", under the leadership of the barbarian king Chi Feng, the barbarians would have already broken through the vast territory across the world. The giant fortress between the Black Land and the Three Northern Continents is Beifeng City.
The battle to annihilate the northern sects is a dangerous lead. If the sect alliance does not have appeasement and is unwilling to give up the northern sects, then the entire world will instantly fall into war.
At this point in time, it was simply impossible for him to stop.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to tell the fourth sister in front of him these things, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
Somewhat intolerable.
This fourth sister finally found the right path after all her efforts, but was told that it was a dead end. This was undoubtedly too cruel for her.
Looking at the cautious and hopeful eyes, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked softly:
“With the full support of Gewuyuan, Xinyao, how long do you think it will take you to produce a sample?”
Xu Xinyao’s eyes lit up slightly:
“I haven’t come into contact with Senior Luo’s soul-nurturing ring yet, so the time is not yet certain.”
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and continued to ask:
“You just need to give a general idea.”
When Xu Xinyao heard Xu Yuan's loose words, the sparkle in her eyes dissipated a lot, her hoarse voice regained its composure, and she said quickly:
“As short as one year, as long as more than ten years.”
"Snapped."
Xu Yuan clapped his hands, straightened up, and said with a serious tone:
“This is taking too long.
"Regardless of whether it can be successfully made or not, just in your imagination, a sample will take such a long time, so it shouldn't be too much to reduce the cost to double the time required for mass production. This will happen over and over again. That's more than ten years.
“And more importantly, even if it can be mass-produced, preparing supporting facilities is the biggest problem.”
Hearing these words, Xu Xinyao's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
As a top formation master, of course she knew these things very well, but she just selectively ignored them.
Nowadays, all facilities, all formations, and all equipment are driven by source energy, and the energy source of the soul nourishing ring comes from the Yin source generated by demons and ghosts.
These are two completely different energies. The interoperability cannot be said to be very poor, it can only be said to be non-existent.
To implement this plan, a large-scale and bloated renovation plan will be needed.
Transform the large energy-draining array pattern of the city defense, the energy supply method of the modified equipment, and which equipment can be modified to be charged with Yin source.
And more importantly, a large number of ghosts need to be cultivated as a source of energy.
All of this is a long process.
"well"
Xu Yuan sighed softly and said in a low voice:
“Xin Yao, all the resources in the prime minister’s office are being prepared for the possible war, and there is no spare time to support this huge project of yours. This is probably the reason why my father rejected you.”
Xu Xinyao lowered her head weakly, like a wounded animal, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised his hand and gently pressed it on the girl's silky hair, and said softly:
“What my father cannot give you, let me give it to you.”
Xu Xinyao suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes bright:
“Brother, are you willing to help me persuade my father?” Xu Yuan looked away and whispered:
"I have already said that it is impossible for my father to agree. Even if I try to persuade him, it is impossible."
“Keke Xinyao remembers that you have no money now”
)
Xu Yuan raised his hand and struck the **** the head with his knife.
Xu Xinyao felt pain and took half a step back, covering her head, staring at him and waiting for Xu Yuan's next words.
Xu Yuan snorted lightly, glanced in the direction of the door, and then directly controlled the black soul in the sea of consciousness to cover the entire wing.
In an instant, the wing that was originally brightly illuminated by the inscription lamp was shrouded in black mist that could not be penetrated by the soul.
The next words, he needs to isolate everything.
Even the father couldn't tell.
Xu Xinyao, who was plunged into darkness by this incident, subconsciously exclaimed:
"ah"
"This is my technique." Xu Yuan comforted softly.
Hearing the sound, Xu Xinyao subconsciously followed the sound and grabbed the man's clothes corner in the dark:
“For what?”
"Do not be afraid."
Xu Yuan did not answer this question and said softly:
"I will wait until my father returns home, and I will ask him to assign you three armor-level array masters and two armor-level weapon refiners. As for researchers below level A, you should have your own in the Gewün Academy. Connections, is this kind of manpower deployment okay?”
Xu Xinyao hesitated slightly after hearing this.
Level A formation masters and weapon refiners are treasures of the Xiangfu. Each one of them is so knowledgeable that they can almost lead the research of a project.
Although it is still somewhat insufficient for the entire huge project, this should be the limit of what the third brother can do.
Thinking in her heart, Xu Xinyao nodded slightly, and then realized that it was dark here, and the third brother might not be able to see. As he was about to speak, he heard the other party's words:
“Since it’s enough, then it’s money and materials.”
That’s right, this is the third brother’s magic method, he can definitely see it.
Xu Xinyao thought in her heart and asked:
“Third brother, all your money has been taken away by Lou Ji”
“Money is just a number, don’t pay too much attention to it.”
by Xu Xinyao.
"Alright alright."
Xu Yuan sighed and continued in a low voice: "I know you may think that without the help of my father, I have no financial resources, but in fact I have other channels."
Xu Xinyao blinked and asked in a low voice: "Blackmail?"
.”Xu Yuan.
To be honest, he has this idea.
It’s just not blackmail, but borrowing.
Li Yunqing's friend is quite wealthy, and he would not refuse a loan from his life-and-death friend.
Furthermore, after having a detailed discussion with the prince the night before, he knew that the other party might be going to Japan. In addition to the other party's temperament, it should be considered acceptable to reveal his identity.
But being looked at by his sister like this, Xu Yuan still felt a little inexplicably unhappy.
As if he just knows how to extort money from others.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan raised his hand and pulled the girl's soft face, causing her to blush:
“Don’t worry about where my money comes from, I’ll give it to you anyway. Is it enough to provide an initial capital of one million taels for preparation?”
“Not enough.” Xu Xinyao replied directly without thinking.
“One million taels is not enough?!” Xu Yuan was stunned.
Converted into the currency of the previous life, one million grains of silver was a full 1.5 billion, which was not even enough for the preliminary preparations.
Xu Xinyao’s face turned slightly red and she explained in a soft voice:
“The sky-gazing instrument needs to be repaired, and I can save the cost of the array master. However, even if the purchase of various materials and the repair of the site are purchased at the internal price like Grandpa Hua Hong, a million silver patterns is really not enough.”
Gewuyuan and Tianan Chamber of Commerce are two completely separate institutions under the Prime Minister's Office.
If there is a direct order from the old man, the Tianan Chamber of Commerce can provide various materials for free, but if it is done privately, it needs to be purchased with money.
Scientific research really costs money, oh no, it means burning source crystals.
With a sigh in his heart, Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked:
“Then how much silver do you need?”
"About five million taels." Xu Xinyao couldn't see Xu Yuan's expression, so she could only test carefully: "If that doesn't work, three million taels should be enough."
“Five million taels. You are really a gold-eating beast.”
Xu Yuan raised his hand and pinched Fourth Sister's cheek hard: "I know, just wait, I will find a way."
Xu Xinyao was in pain, but her beautiful eyes were full of smiles in the darkness:
"okay."
After answering, Xu Xinyao suddenly remembered something, became a little hesitant, and whispered:
“Brother, without father’s order, Senior Luo would not have given me the soul ring for research.”
Xu Yuan was immediately happy when he heard this:
"You go and call him over tomorrow. I haven't seen my old friend for a long time, and I still miss him a little."
