Sincerity
Gu Jinlai, people have paid close attention to information about Blue Star.
Therefore, a mirror reflecting light and shadow for thousands of miles was specially left in Qiushan.
He received the message from Blue Star immediately.
Only...
"Data?"
The data on the Sky Platform Azure Phoenix and the combat mech Cheng Ying sent by the other party flashed through his mind, and he felt at a loss for what to do.
Perhaps in their eyes, it would be effortless for him, a Qianxing human, to produce similar combat equipment; it could be a matter of pressing a button for fully automated production. But in reality...
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Forget about the Azure Phoenix War Platform and the Cheng Ying combat mech, he hasn't even managed to summon the Xuan Nu fighter yet.
Under such circumstances, who would dare send any data?
Only...
Not replying for a long time is not a solution either.
We have to make up an excuse.
It Gu Jinlai.
At that moment, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait! The Azure Phoenix platform uses a nuclear fusion engine. Not only can I do that, but it seems there are even better alternatives in the future."
Floating islands!
To be precise, it's the unique properties of the materials used in the floating islands.
The "thousand pounds" characteristic contained in the Cheng Ying sword in his hand is similar.
If he could crack this property, or rather, the material containing this property...
This is a completely anti-gravity engine.
Standard equipment for space battleships.
Besides, as for the Chengying mecha, didn't he also have a concept in his mind?
The immortal golden body of a cultivator!
The Demonic Beasts's immortal demonic body!
Compared to the immortal demonic body, the immortal golden body is more in line with the concept of a combat mech.
The method of cultivating the immortal golden body involves Celestial Person borrowing the power of heaven and earth, using heaven and earth as a furnace to refine special spiritual materials from heaven and earth into the cultivator's body, merging them with the cultivator's Primordial Spirit and true essence.
The relationship between the two is like how air currents turn into hail when they encounter extreme cold.
The immortal golden bodies forged by saints in the furnace of heaven and earth are equivalent to airflow, while the Primordial Spirit and true essence of cultivators are equivalent to low temperature. When the two are combined, they can manifest as hailstones that can be directly touched and fall to the earth.
Just as the non-existent power of immortality and the equally non-existent Primordial Spirit and true essence can combine to form an immortal golden body.
With this thought in mind, Gu Jinlai spoke directly to Gu Junxiu in the Thousand Mile Mirror: "I will tell you how to operate it, and you will respond according to the instructions."
"Yes."
Gu Junxiu responded.
Although he didn't know what the ancestor wanted him to send, the ancestor had his reasons for not wanting to say it outright, and he would simply obey the order.
Soon, through the Gu Jinlai had completed the reply.
"Nuclear fusion engines are a relatively primitive and outdated type of equipment, and I don't know much about them. We are currently considering how to convert nuclear energy with the energy we use here to power the spacecraft's anti-gravity engine. Once the conversion is complete, I will send the data back to you."
The anti-gravity engine was the bait he threw out.
With this bait, his identity should be more convincing, thus making the other party take him more seriously and not dare to easily refuse his request.
As for his specific requirements...
"Since I've forgotten most of the knowledge about nuclear fusion that I learned when I was young, please provide me with more detailed data on the nuclear fusion engine so that I can complete the conversion between the two types of energy as soon as possible."
Gu Jinlai, the ancient Jun rust has been manipulated through retelling.
Waiting for a response from Blue Star.
Blue Star.
Inside the observatory.
Everyone looked at the message from this "Qianxing person" and quickly began to analyze it word by word.
"I told you, this alien speaks Chinese."
Xie Yusheng looked at the experts gathered together and muttered a complaint under his breath.
"You also said that the other side has extraordinary detection equipment, and may have already made contact with our network. So it's not surprising that they've learned our language."
Du Dongyuan, who was standing to the side, seemed to have heard what he said and responded with a smile.
"So what's next?"
Xie Yusheng glanced at the signal synthesis instrument. "He wants nuclear fusion engine technology? What's next?"
"We want nuclear fusion engines too."
Du Dongyuan shook his head. "This is an impossible task. This topic is dead."
"Hehe, it's not necessarily impossible."
Qiu Yuyu said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of him making requests, I'm just afraid he won't reply at all. As long as he replies, we have plenty of ways to find out his identity and background."
As he spoke, he glanced outside.
There, a technician walked in. "According to our signal tracing... it is indeed a local signal, but... it's very strange..."
"Strange? How so?"
"The signal... didn't come from the ground, but from the sky... According to the technicians' analysis, it's like the signal noise originating from our Blue Star..."
The technician spoke with a rather strange expression.
"Signal noise inherent to our Blue Star?"
Qiu Yuyu's expression turned serious.
"Yes."
The technician nodded, then added, "It's probably because we only have one source of information that we can't track it accurately. Please continue to communicate with him, and I will report to you immediately if there are any new discoveries."
Qiu Yuyu's expression became slightly more serious.
He didn't know if the person opposite him was an alien.
But the other party was able to communicate with him without leaving any trace; judging from these abilities alone...
The organization behind this "Qianxing person" is no small matter.
"We just discussed fourteen hypotheses, of which three are the most likely. The first and second are not discussed here; they are suspected to be from a mysterious indigenous organization on our Blue Star, differing only in nature and purpose. The third one..."
"Alien?"
Xie Yusheng asked tentatively.
Qiu Yuyu nodded.
"If he really is an alien, judging from his current response, he seems to want to make a deal with us. The target of the deal is a controlled nuclear fusion engine, but... our country doesn't have that technology yet, does it?"
As Xie Yusheng spoke, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes widened. "Could it be..."
"Don't overthink it. Currently, no country in the world has mastered the relevant technologies that are mature, controllable, and can operate stably for a long time."
Qiu Yuyu said, "Based on our analysis, if it is the third possibility, we can give him a direction that has no result."
"A negative result... is it a conjecture that hasn't yet been put into practice?"
"It's not a conjecture, it's a theory, a theory without practical application."
Qiu Yuyu said, "In fact, controlled nuclear fusion technology is already quite mature in many aspects. It's no exaggeration to say that it's just one step away from completion. Let's assume that the Qianxing people have better materials technology than our Blue Star... No! They have already demonstrated similar technology. If their technology is stronger than what we have demonstrated so far, then they can completely realize the nuclear fusion technology that we will provide next."
"But what if the other side isn't aliens... but a hostile foreign organization? Wouldn't our actions be aiding the enemy?"
"To aid the enemy..."
Qiu Yuyu smiled and shook his head, "Do you know what it means if their materials technology is really a generation ahead of the black gold they provided? It means their technology is at least a century ahead of ours! You're sending World War I technology to a modern enemy country, do you think that counts as aiding the enemy?"
Xie Yusheng was taken aback.
"We need to have a long-term vision."
Qiu Yuyu said, "Judging from the attitude the other party has shown so far, just as he said, he has no ill intentions towards us. So, among the three possibilities, one is that it is a hostile mysterious organization... But if the other party really has more advanced and powerful technology than Wujin, a century ahead of us, we will have little room to resist. Offering this technology would not be considered aiding the enemy, but rather... currying favor."
The word "ingratiate" made Xie Yusheng feel a little awkward.
"The second possibility is that the other party is a benevolent organization, at least... it has no ill intentions towards our Central Plains. In this case, we must show sufficient sincerity to establish a foundation of trust between us."
Qiu Yuyu paused as he spoke, then continued, "As for the third one, that's a much bigger problem... I won't go into details."
"I understand, then I'll respond now?"
"Hmm, also try asking if he needs any supplies. If he agrees, it means we can contact him, so he must be somewhere on Blue Star. If he refuses..."
Qiu Yuyu shook his head. "It doesn't mean anything, it's just an experiment."
"Good."
Xie Yusheng responded.
"We request the information from above, and once the information arrives, we will transmit it."
Qiu Yuyu said to the technicians beside him, "This data will be very complete. The advantage of being complete is that it is very large and will inevitably take a long time to transmit. During this time, we will be able to establish contact. Therefore, if he is really hiding somewhere on our Blue Star, we should take advantage of this time to find him."
"Yes."
The technicians should agree.
When the response was made on Blue Star, Gu Jinlai had already left Lingxiao City and arrived at Qiushan.
He personally took charge of receiving information.
Seeing the other party's apparent willingness to help, Gu Jinlai immediately rejected it.
He was willing to agree, but even if he did, it would only work if people from Blue Star could come over.
Separated by two worlds...
If we're really going to exchange materials, it'll probably have to wait until he gets the complete inheritance of the Holy Domain and possesses the technology to build star gates.
"I also want to go back to Blue Star and take a look."
A sigh has been uttered Gu Jinlai.
He's not some orphan without parents.
On Blue Star, he has parents, relatives, and friends...
He's been gone for two or three years now, and heaven knows how heartbroken his family must be.
As for informing his parents through the other party that he was alright...
He had the idea, but quickly dismissed it.
He didn't know if he would ever be able to return to Blue Star in this lifetime. If his parents found out that he was still alive, and that they would never be able to see each other again, that would be the real pain.
