Chapter 8: Coveted
"…In other words, the location of this Swire Laboratory is likely to be at the bottom of the Red Sea?"
During the rest of the brigade, Lan Ling'er repeatedly checked the specific location of the coordinate point where the ancient laboratory was located for the last time, and this location was still the same as the coordinate point she had checked before. From the map of the entire Red Sea, the location of this coordinate point is on the southern flame continent, that is, next to the third continent of the Red Sea outside the Western Asian continent and the Terracotta continent, located in the ocean about 200 kilometers away from the coast.
It is naturally impossible for a laboratory to be built in the ocean. Although according to the technological level of human beings in the ancient times, it is fine to say that it is built in the ocean, even in space or even in subspace.
However, in the ancient times, humans were the well-deserved overlords of the world and the only master. Humans in that era were unified governments and there were no threats such as war. Although important buildings or important departments and agencies basically had artificial intelligence as the main system. In an emergency when humans could not issue orders, artificial intelligence could control buildings or departments to sneak into subspace to hide. The laboratory that Hao Qi and the others were looking for had similar mechanisms. However, in most cases, whether it was a laboratory or various departments, they would only be built on land with convenient transportation. It was impossible to build a laboratory into the abyss of less than a person. Even in the ancient times, it was unlikely that it would be possible.
The reason why the coordinate points are in the ocean is because from the ancient times to the present era, there are countless thousands of years of changes in the middle. According to the scientific records of the Three Poles of the Red Sea Kingdom today, I have obtained the geographic map album of the late ancient times from the Red Queen. The locations of the three continents are different from the locations, sizes, distances, etc. of the three continents today. This is still the ancient times, not to mention the ancient times that were much earlier than the ancient times. The geographical changes are much more drastic than imagined.
You should know that the Ancient Laboratory has been hiding into subspace, semi-plane, or other spaces, in short, it is no longer in the normal space of the Red Sea. In this way, the coordinate points it was originally located at would not change with geographical changes, such as not being buried underground, falling into the gaps in the canyon, nor falling into the seabed...
Lan Ling'er happily placed a map of the Flame Continent on the table, and then pointed to a location on the map and said, "This is the destination of our itinerary. The location of the coordinate points of the Taikoo Laboratory. If you pass by us, it is quite fast to take a plane, but because the destination is not on land, we can rent a boat there, but it is not as convenient as our own ships after all, so I think we should drive the Dream directly over there. If the ship sails at a speed, the time to reach the coast of the Flame Continent from us is... about forty days, and it is not too long."
The rest of the brigade include Su Shiyan and Yun Qingqing, who are not in the brigade. They are also in this conference room. Although they are not explicitly stated, in everyone's minds, and even in the eyes of the two, they are at least a member of the brigade. As for what will happen in the future, for example, Su Shiyan wants to return to the Su family in Lanhai, and Yun Qingqing may have to leave alone. These are all future things. At least now, they are also members of the brigade.
Lan Ling'er's plan was proposed in this conference room. Her plan was not complicated. Since the brigade already had the most important clues of the Swire Laboratory, one is the coordinates of the location of the Swire Laboratory, and the other is the key to entering the Swire Laboratory. With these two, the biggest problem of entering the Swire ruins has been solved. The rest is just to enter it step by step. The real danger is what happened after entering the Swire ruins. God knows what traps there are, or what defense systems are there, etc. You must know that it is the technology of the ancient era. Any one of them may destroy the brigade, let alone the possible artificial intelligence system in this ruins...
In short, before entering this ancient ruin, there is nothing to worry about during this journey. It is nothing more than the length of time to look for. What you really have to worry about is what you have to enter, and this requires you to act according to the opportunity...
“…Where is the destination? Can you pre-specify it?”
"Report to the sect leader, the think tank group speculates based on their fresh water, food, and essential supplies. Their destination is probably along the coast of the Flame Continent, but they can only infer the general direction, and the specific location is unknown..."
When Hao Qi and others began preparing for a long voyage and set off for the ancient ruins, in a certain area of the Asian continent where the United States of Iron Curtain, a middle-aged and elderly man dressed as a housekeeper was talking respectfully, and the young man did not raise his head. He looked at a painting in his hand and asked in a low voice.
Hearing the butler's answer, the young man looked up at the butler slightly, and he looked down at the scroll, and said, "Then use the sky eye to monitor their ships at all times and report their location at any time. Once you leave the territorial waters of the Deputy Philippine Republic and enter the high seas, come and tell me immediately."
The housekeeper should be, but he did not leave, but still stood respectfully. The young man looked at the scroll for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Is there anything else? You are my old minister. If you have something to say."
"... Sect Master, is it really necessary to provoke a role like the brigade? We have no direct conflict with the brigade and are targeting it rashly. If someone escapes from the brigade, it will be a result of dying with us. What's more, looking at the rise of the brigade, and the existence of the Lan clan members in this martial arts group, many people speculate that the brigade may have obtained the legacy of Lan Jingling, or the people from the Aizen World Martial Arts Group supported them behind their backs. No matter which one is, it should not be underestimated. Is this really necessary?" The butler hesitated for a moment and asked these words.
The young man slowly put down the scroll, as if it was a peerless treasure. He smiled and looked at the butler, and the butler's face was sweating. He slowly said: "That's true. You are actually right. As one of the seven major consortiums, our interests have long been no longer limited to one country and one ground. Although they are not as good as the Wushu King of Nine Martial Arts, at least on the one acre of three-point land in the Red Sea, we are local snakes, and even the Alliance of Humanities cannot ignore us.
In this Red Sea, Hao Qi can judge an internal Qi realm in the Blue Sea, but he cannot do that in this Red Sea. If we want it, we can destroy it in minutes, but there is no need. As you said, whether it is the real threat of Aizion's world, the legacy left by Lan Jingling, or the potential of the brigade itself, we have no need to make such a deadly enemies... By the way, you should know the problem between our seven major consortiums and the Three Poles Kingdoms, right?"
The housekeeper nodded and whispered: "Yes, Sect Master, our seven major consortiums and the Three Poles Kingdoms are actually polarization after the balance of the Red Sea power. It is the force balance method adopted by His Highness Pan Liuhai, the King of Nine Martial Arts, to balance the huge interests of the Red Queen..."
"Half right, half wrong." The young man shook his head and said, "I can't tell you what it is. In short, the situation is more complicated than you think. Even the leader of our seven major consortiums may not be clear. The only person who knows why he does that is only Pan Liuhai... But in short, we are both confronting and uniting with the Three Ji Kingdom. Not to mention this, do you know the foundation of the Three Ji Kingdom, that is, how did Pan Liuhai pull him up to fight against us?"
"His...apprentice?" the butler said with some uncertainty.
"It's right to say that he is an apprentice, but it's not Pan Liuhai's own personal disciple. It seems that he selectively passed on some schools to the internal Qi realm of the Sanji Kingdom. Speaking of this, you should know that the Taoist Cang Hua can do the calculation? Some people think this is impossible and directly deny it, but what I want to tell you is that the Taoist Cang Hua is indeed able to do the calculation. In some cases, it's true that he can predict the future. So... Do you think Pan Liuhai, who taught the Taoist Cang Hua, wouldn't understand the calculation?"
When the young man said this, he looked up and looked out the window. The sun was shining outside. From the window, you could see the ocean beach outside. He exclaimed and said, "I met Pan Liuhai a month ago. The last time I saw him was a long time ago. He only told one sentence, but according to my understanding of Pan Liuhai, I was sure of what he said..."
"The brigade will take me to find Chihong..."
"The final decisive weapon of the Red Sea..."
"crimson!"
