Nelson originally just wanted to take a look. He knew that Rhine was famous, but the knowledge about formations was too unpopular.
A while ago, Qinghu asked him for advice on some matters concerning the formation.
He knew that Qinghu was thinking about the formation related to Qi Gathering Array, but that guy had a bad temper and he didn't want to ask more.
He didn't take the formation that Rhine passed him seriously. Qi Gathering Array had already thought it through, how could it be improved?
But as he looked at it, he couldn't help but take it in.
Although there are some things, he still knows it and doesn't know why, but he can be sure that this formation is definitely up to something.
But this time, it was Rhine's turn to be dissatisfied, "Sir, half of what you said is enough... it is not safe to transmit through Wristwatch."
Nelson could only laugh dryly, "Little Rhine, do you still hold a grudge against me? Send it to me quickly."
"I told you to keep it secret," Rhine replied seriously, "I will verify it first and then hand it over."
"Hand in..." Nelson understands the meaning of this word very well. Even though he is the supreme person, some people are really untouchable.
But he couldn't help but ask, "Has the person who provided the information verified it?"
"Seeing the real thing," Rhine didn't want to offend the other party. Although she thought she would definitely advance to the highest level, why bother? "That's part of the design rationale for the physical thing."
"Then this team is amazing," Nelson replied without hesitation, "But be careful with the military."
This is really the only person who would remind me like this. Although this result is amazing, it touches the military's cheese.
"The other party has no plans to promote it," Rhine replied in a deep voice, "They pay great attention to information barriers, and they probably plan to use it themselves."
These situations are really not uncommon. As soon as she explained it, Nelson understood.
"I would like to exchange a set. Does the other party have any needs?"
"Replacing one set" is a cliché. In fact, it means that he wants to obtain relevant technology and use it within a limited scope.
This limited scope is definitely a limited scope and does not require human supervision at all.
The laws of the empire cannot restrain the spread of piracy, but the military can.
If used in a small area, it will not arouse the military's alertness, and basically there will be no problems.
If someone wants to sell it in a large area, let alone whether Rhine is willing to agree, the military will be the first to let it go.
There are many people engaged in research and development in private. The military has already monopolized Qi Gathering Array and is unwilling to interfere, especially with those high-end Awakened One.
Most of the research done by the big guys is done out of hobbies or for the sake of their own future. This cannot be stopped.
If the military really wants to forcefully stop it, it will face the risk of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Of course the military is very tyrannical, but who can hide in Military Camp for the rest of their lives?
The supreme sneak attack, the assassination of the desperado, the poisoning by ordinary people... the many methods are simply impossible to guard against.
The most embarrassing thing is that there are so many people offended, and trying to find the suspect is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
The military has suffered such losses before, but now it just turns a blind eye: you develop it yourself privately, just use it privately.
However, this is the bottom line of the military. Anyone who dares to sell these things will definitely be mercilessly detained!
What's the matter, we've already let you use it secretly, isn't that considered a favor?
If someone insists on selling it for profit, whose business is being robbed and whose face is being slapped?
This kind of behavior will not only anger the military, but from another perspective, it will shake the foundation of the empire's rule! There are some things that really cannot be done without comment. If you do them secretly, no one will care about them. If you do them in a big way, you will destroy yourself.
In the final analysis, everything must be done in moderation, and Nelson understands this very well.
And he also knows that what the other party needs may not be money!
When there is too much money, it is really just a number.
For those at the top of the pyramid, things that money can't buy are valuable, so he asked the other person what they needed.
Rhine pondered for a moment before replying, "I can help you inquire about this matter. The other party is not easy to talk to."
"It's hard to talk..." Nelson looked at Wristwatch who hung up the communication and began to think deeply.
He can make even Rhine so afraid, and he has also mastered the existence of the improved Qi Gathering Array, which is not easy to provoke.
He looked up at the sky and found some clouds appeared. He couldn't help but sigh, "This is... the sky is going to change."
Another half month later, Rhine came to the Birdsong Stream Manor again.
This time she brought the ordinary Qi Gathering Array, but also made many requests.
First of all, this formation is borrowed and must be returned in the future.
Even if something unexpected happens and the formation is damaged, the remaining broken parts must be returned.
Secondly, there is rent during the borrowing period - this is what Qu Jianlei strongly advocates, and it is also the requirement of the forces behind Rhine.
The rent is not expensive, only 10 million a year.
For ordinary people, it would take several lifetimes without eating or drinking to save so much.
But when it comes to the supreme cultivation, the annual rent is really half rent and half free.
Rhine said that the request he made was just to emphasize ownership - you are paying rent, so the things are not yours! Qu Jianlei accepted this statement simply, "You don't even need to pay a deposit, the conditions are already very generous."
In fact, both of them deliberately ignored the possibility that if he encountered misfortune, this formation would be gone forever.
Without even collecting the deposit, Rhine's group will suffer heavy losses.
But she didn't point this out, which shows that the team behind her placed a bet on Qu Jianlei.
If everyone is gone, there is no need to worry about those losses...
Qu Jianlei was thinking that if he mentioned this, he might be setting up a flag again.
Your physique is already enough to attract trouble, so you don't need to ask for trouble anymore, right? Anyway, if he is really unlucky and cannot return to the formation, there is nothing he can do.
But since he is the protagonist, he feels that he will not be so unlucky - he will enter the Nascent Soul Realm stage sooner or later! Since Rhine's team is betting, it has its own needs.
This is the third request: if Hongjingtian Team can transform the formation, they hope to get relevant information.
Rhine knew that the other party was very concerned about information barriers, so he made a special promise: the relevant information would not be spread out.
This idea is somewhat similar to what Nelson considered: it is possible for them to use it, but only internally.
They couldn't afford the cost of spreading - at least they didn't want to get into such big trouble.
Rhine even said bluntly, "They don't think your team can complete the transformation of this formation quickly."
"So even if you don't have complete information, it's okay to give the staged results when returning the formation."
This request is too real. It means that the other party's disapproval is not an offense.
Being able to accept phased results proves that they care about Hongjingtian Team's ideas, or technical routes.
As for the result? It's not that important.
The most important thing is that this statement shows that even if Hongjingtian Team hides some of its results, they will not pursue it excessively.
Therefore, it can be considered that this is a gentleman's agreement, and it is really sincere compared to the chips that the other party has provided.
Faced with such sincerity, Qu Jianlei really has no reason to object.
He said very simply, "I will only rent it for one year and I won't let you take too much risk."
A one-year lease is a bit short, but in fact, with Xiao Hu in hand, this formation can basically be thoroughly analyzed in one month.
As for a perfect replica, the time limit will definitely be longer, maybe it won't be possible in three to five years. If it's a transformation, it may take even longer.
But in his team, it is almost impossible for anyone to advance to the highest level within three to five years.
The formation he and Paranoid need to use is Gathering Spirit Array instead of Qi Gathering Array.
In the next few years, his team will have no demand for ordinary Qi Gathering Array, so he naturally does not need to rent it for such a long time.
However, Xiao Hu's workload will increase a lot as a result.
What's especially bad is that the two sets of Calculation Unit that Qu Jianlei spent a huge sum of money to buy are not at hand.
The one with 50 million is in the dust on Asteroid Belt, the one with 20 million is on 8384 Ship, and the only one that can be used is the terminal of the Anti-Smuggling Department.
He was parsing Teleportation Array a while ago, but it was still in the early stages of the construction process. It didn't require a lot of calculations, and a small terminal was enough.
But now, if you want to add the ordinary version of Qi Gathering Array to parse, this computing power is really not enough.
8384 is not far away, parked at the star port of Sky Handle, but the problem now is that he cannot leave Birdsong Stream Manor.
With his caution, Paranoid is not at ease after all.
He was very worried that once the guy left his sight, the situation would get out of control - at the very least, human nature could not be easily tested.
Do you want to authorize Rhine and ask her to help you get back the Calculation Unit group? This thought only stayed in his mind for a moment, and then he threw it away.
Rhine showed great sincerity when he came this time, but is this worthy of his full trust? The inlays and connections of the Calculation Unit group, as well as the modified underlying logic in the Main Control Room system, really cannot be easily revealed.
Therefore, we really cannot entrust Rhine to do this.
So he coughed lightly, "By the way, can you get the Calculation Unit group of Sihai Creation?"
"Calculation Unit, can't you buy that if you have money?" Rhine is not very familiar with this kind of equipment.
Then she raised Wristwatch and asked about the relevant news.
As she said, money can buy it.
In addition to 20 million, 30 million, 50 million and 80 million Calculation Unit, there are also 150 million and 240 million Calculation Unit.
It's just that this kind of equipment is too professional. Even if Haiyin Family comes forward, the other party will not give much discount.
The reason is obvious - those who need this kind of equipment are just in need, so why does the supplier need to discount it?
"Two hundred and forty million!" An unscrupulous Butterfly started spinning crazily, "You have the ability to pay!"
It remembered clearly that two starships were sold a while ago, and the banknotes on the old Big Hand were close to 400 million.
