Chapter 1620: The Power of Heaven and Earth
According to the current laws of the empire, exploration rights do not represent ownership. If you discover mineral deposits, you must also purchase purchasing rights.
But since Dogan has bought it out, no one else is allowed to explore privately without her permission.
If the military or government has a need, they are also eligible to conduct exploration - she did not buy exclusive exploration rights.
In order to protect his opportunity, Duogan still invested some money.
The reason why she did not buy the exclusive exploration rights was that, firstly, the exclusivity was too expensive, and secondly, she did not want to attract other people's attention.
Given her position in the empire at the time, she didn't have to worry about losing sight of the good stuff if she found it, but she didn't like trouble.
Buying the exploration rights here is more like a declaration... I like this place, and others don't have to think about it.
One more thing, if she didn't have such a huge force under her jurisdiction, it would be difficult to buy the exploration rights for such a large space.
Not to mention at a very low price.
In any case, at the beginning, she didn't care much about the two starships - perhaps they were officially commissioned explorers.
But after the opposing starship recognized the man, it turned around and ran away, obviously having something to hide!
But it was obvious that the other party had something to hide, otherwise he would not have run away when he saw us.
However, even the Alliance's division-level ships cannot escape from the Digital Phantom!
Jing Yuexin and the paranoid clone each drove a small ship to chase after them.
Seeing this, the large merchant ship also wanted to escape, but unfortunately, neither of the two starships could outrun the small ship.
Soon, the two starships were hit, one slightly injured and the other seriously injured, and Xiaohu took control of the control system.
Then Dogan interrogated the case personally with a dark face and soon learned the situation.
The heavy-loaded starship came from a security company and took on the task of space bodyguard.
The other large merchant ship came from a research institute and came specifically to explore this area of space.
Dorgan's face darkened when he heard this. "Do you know who holds the prospecting rights here?"
As soon as the other person said he didn't know, Dogan raised his hand and slapped the other person's head, smashing it to pieces.
Then she looked at the second person calmly, "You don't know either?"
How dare this person continue to lie? He just confessed everything.
Simply put, something went wrong with Dogan's subordinates again - some people said that Lord Dogan attached great importance to this airspace.
Then someone started to take notice.
After years of observation, someone discovered that Dogan had not been operating here for a long time, so he bravely came here to look for opportunities.
It’s not that they don’t respect Dogan enough, but when interests are at stake, it’s easy for people to forget their fear.
Dorgan is already the supreme being admired by everyone, not to mention that she is also a member of Digital Phantom. Who doesn't want to know her secret?
But there is also a detail here. The disappearance of Kofu did indeed greatly reduce the vigilance of Dogan's people here.
Few people know that when Dougan has nothing to do, he will hide here to practice.
On that large merchant ship are the employers of this operation, and they are also the main force in exploring this nebula.
Merchant ships not only have cargo holds, but also very powerful firepower, and most importantly, a large number of instruments and equipment.
For Qu Jianlei, who deals with the Empire and the Alliance's cutting-edge technology all day long, this amount of equipment is still far from enough.
But it is undeniable that these devices are really difficult for ordinary small and medium-sized forces to obtain.
The person in charge was only an A-level, but he revealed his identity: a professor at Teikyo College!
He said that he was helping his boss complete the project - standing behind him was a top academic leader.
The Imperial Capital Academy is known as the best university in the empire. Even if other colleges and universities disagree, they have to admit that they are at least second in the rankings.
Generally speaking, no one would mess with the teachers and students from Teikyo College.
But Jing Yuexin's face darkened instantly when she heard that. "Looks like I still have to search your soul. Thank you, Senior Yi He."
"Leave it to me and I'll do it right away," Yi He muttered and began to search his soul.
The result of the soul search was a little surprising. This guy actually came up with the idea of stealing the chicken himself.
That’s right, he is just an A-level, but he dares to covet the opportunity of Duogan Duogan. It shows that the bold will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation.
The Supreme Being behind him knew of his plan, but did not support it - but it is worth mentioning that he did not explicitly oppose it either.
In addition, this A-level person came to this star field at the instigation of his assistant.
His assistant was also on the large merchant ship, but when Qu Jianlei and others interrogated him, he had already committed suicide.
Dogan was surprised and suspected that this person might be a spy of the Alliance, so he collected his genes for comparison.
It’s a bit regrettable that we didn’t collect any foreign genetic characteristics, so it can be basically confirmed that they are the natives of the empire.
There are more than 30 people on the large merchant ship. Unlike ordinary merchant ships, they are used for research, so it is normal to have more people.
Seeing this scene, some people were furious, "You... actually killed the teaching assistant!"
"You don't know what life and death is!" The paranoid man raised his hand and blew up the speaker's head with a finger of wind. Do you have the right to speak here?
Qu Jianlei raised his chin towards the professor and said, "Add gene simulation drug to this person."
The term "gene simulation" is actually not quite correct. Strictly speaking, it refers to gene mutation, which is a by-product of Qu Jianlei's research project.
The reason why it is called a gene simulation agent is that the mutation direction it is designed to impersonate the genes of the Alliance or the Federation.
This potion is not easy to manufacture, but the Alliance can already impersonate the genes of the Imperials, and the technology has entered the practical stage.
Qu Jianlei got a few injections of medicine, and originally wanted Xiaohu to analyze the mechanism and how to better identify the spies.
As a result, Xiaohu clicked on the wrong technology tree and developed the reverse potion.
The professor had never heard of simulation potion, but as the name suggested, he knew what it was, and his face changed when he heard it.
"You, you...are you worthy of the title of Digital Phantom by doing this?"
Dorgan snorted coldly, "You dare to offend me, isn't it because we are too kind?"
The matter ended here. Encountering such villains is just an episode in life.
After all these people were imprisoned, everyone began to look at the deep red planet in front of them.
Qu Jianlei asked, "Three seniors, can you tell what the secret of this nebula is?"
The three elders remained silent. After a long while, Yi He spoke in a deep voice, "The power of heaven and earth is awe-inspiring."
Taoist Jiao couldn't help but said, "It may not be all the power of heaven and earth. You are being arbitrary."
"Okay," Xizhao said, "Let Jing Yuexin test the power of the Soul-Calming Bell first."
The power of the Soul-Calming Bell was beyond the expectations of most people. The star cluster in front of them actually trembled slightly.
Feng Wangxi was also dizzy from the shock, "Boss, stop, stop for a while... I am losing my mind!"
The paranoid man was so excited that he took out his Yinming bottle and fired it at the dark red nebula in front of him.
After he survived the thunder tribulation, he got his own magic weapon, but up to now, he has never activated it to its full potential.
A stream of extremely cold air gushed out, and the nebula trembled slightly at first, and then made a popping sound.
It turns out that the meeting of extreme cold and extreme heat can actually produce an explosive effect, and this is only the beginning of the Yinming Bottle's activation.
The paranoid man took one look and snorted coldly, "I couldn't beat this thing before, but now I have to see it for myself."
As his output increased, the fluctuations of the nebula in front of him became larger and larger, and the explosions became louder and louder.
Finally, at a certain moment, Qu Jianlei, Jiao Daoren, and Yi He shouted at the same time, "Okay, stop!"
Then it was Xizhao who expressed her opinion, "This place... is a little strange."
"Humph," Jiao Dao Ren snorted, "I thought you would endure it forever."
Jing Yuexin was a little confused... So we are the only three who don't feel anything?
But in fact, she has already survived the thunder tribulation, and compared to the last time she came, she has a little different feeling in her heart.
"So this place... was not created by heaven and earth? I have a vague feeling that it was not formed naturally."
"You have to ask Xizhao about this," Jiao Daoren said angrily, "The spirits of heaven and earth are very sensitive to such things."
Xi Zhao replied unhappily, "There are countless wonders in the world. I am just a little elf. How dare I be so presumptuous?"
"You just want to laugh at us," Jiao Daoren snorted disdainfully, "You are so naughty and ridiculous!"
Like Yi He, he really looked down on the alien Xi Zhao, even though the other party was also a Nascent Soul.
"I advise you to take care of yourself," the ruler twisted in the air, "You should know that it's easy for me to mess with you!"
This is not bragging, he is the nemesis of Jiao Daoren's condition - the soul and body are not perfectly matched.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been it that secretly knocked Taoist Jiao unconscious with a ruler.
"Okay," Yi He came out to mediate. He did look down on Xi Zhao, but in the current situation, it was not a good idea to be serious about it.
After all, he and Jiao Daoren each had their own shortcomings, but Xizhao was basically complete. "Shall we explore this nebula?"
Everyone came here with the same intention, so naturally no one would refuse.
The last time we entered the nebula, it was an ordinary starship, but this time it’s a division-level ship.
After walking for a while, they encountered a barrier made of fire.
The last time Qu Jianlei and his team came here, they were blocked here. This time, the division-level ship still couldn't get in.
It’s not that the starship is not powerful enough, nor that the kinetic energy is insufficient. The key is that the barrier is not only tough, but also very elastic and slippery.
A division-level ship could force its way in, but the key problem was... it couldn't use its strength!
A soft electronic synthesized voice came from the division-level ship, "I suggest you use all your strength to attack. Theoretically, it may work."
"Don't!" Yi He and Jiao Daoren spoke at the same time.
After a pause, Yi Hecai said, "It is not easy to break it. Even if it is possible, it will cause losses."
At this moment, a divine sense came.
However, it was the scorching hot environment here that made the wind forgotten on the outside of the division-level ship unbearable.
"Boss, I can't stand it any more, help me, help me..."
