Tianguanzhi

Chapter 106: Farce, Preaching, and Trading
(In the previous chapter, Qian Shaoqing's death was changed to missing, and the rest does not affect the reading.)
Twenty-four hours later, in the combat preparation cabin.

Xu Dayou put on his tactical jacket with a somewhat listless look on his face. Just as he was about to check his equipment, his shoulders were suddenly and roughly pulled apart.

Zhu Shao pushed Xu Dayou against the wall, and the carbon fiber jacket and the alloy wall collided with each other, making a dull bang.

"Did you and Qian Shaoqing steal the medicine from the Tianbingji and sell it without my knowledge?"

Zhu Shao approached his face, grabbed the other person's collar with his right hand, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Xu Dayou dodged his gaze, held Zhu Shao's wrist with both hands, and said reluctantly: "Now is not the time to talk about this."

"You instigated me to negotiate with Jiao En, because only if he agreed to let the Sequence Soldiers get off the plane, you and Qian Shaoqing could get the medicine out, right?"

Zhu Shao's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"What were you two planning to do? Use your servants as scapegoats? Kill them after you get the money? Come on, there's no evidence? If Jiao En asks for accountability, you still expect me to foolishly help you resist the thunder, right?"

"Let go."

"Has this happened before? Last time the armory reported damage..."

"I asked you to let go!"

Xu Dayou kicked Zhu Shao's knee, and the two of them clamped together, wrestling and pulling each other. Finally, Zhu Shao hit Xu Dayou's chin with an elbow. The opponent staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Shao refused to give in and growled in a somewhat inappropriate tone: "I treat you as a friend, and you treat me like this?!"

Xu Da spat a mouthful of bloody saliva and responded, "Young Master. I don't have time to serve you now. If you have evidence, go to Chief Jiao and report me." After that, he turned around and took two steps to sit on the Tactical Fearless.

Zhu Shao looked at him in disbelief until the special glass cover of the combat soldier slowly closed. He took a deep breath and turned around angrily to board his tactical fearless gun.

……

In the spare parts warehouse in Area F, Gu Jianqiu stretched his muscles with the new national standard. The muscle lines exposed at the edge of his sleeves were trembling visibly, and the electrocardiogram between his veins was dissipating like flowing clouds.
Twenty-five, twenty-six...

Until 28 standard ECGs,

The abnormal fluctuations in Gu Jianqiu's body slowly calmed down.

There are many strange ways to stimulate ECG. Various ancient sects even have methods of initiation that can pass down ECG from generation to generation. Gu Jianqiu's body has never received such expensive drug supplies. As soon as he came into contact with it, he benefited greatly. Gu Jianqiu even felt that the high-intensity heart welding work in the past few days had not been able to fully digest the power of the medicine. In another month or so, Gu Jianqiu is confident that he can push the ECG to the 30-point mark!
"Ok?"

Gu Jianqiu turned around and saw Li Dongbao standing at the door, looking him in the eye.

"what happened?"

Li Dongbao scratched the back of his head helplessly: "I couldn't sleep, and when I heard some noise, I came over to check."

After a pause, he continued, "Brother Gu, your fighting style just now... was amazing."

Gu Jianqiu smiled when he heard this: "How much can you understand?"

"Your chi is...more compact and flexible than that of the average martial artist."

Li Dongbao stammered as he described: "When I was in my hometown, there was a scholar named Cheng who taught me some techniques of Qigong."

After listening to his description, Gu Jianqiu nodded and said, "You must have learned the Luo School's "Taiji Tushuo" or "Zhenyuan Liuqi". No wonder you were able to beat Pang Tianbao like that despite three or four people with similar electrocardiograms to you."

"The Diagram of Tai Chi" and "The Six Qi of Zhen Yuan" are both the works of Zheng family of Xingyang, with a history of eight or nine hundred years. It is estimated that Li Dongbao had some adventures in his childhood and was taught by a great scholar, and learned one or two methods of refining qi from them.

Gu Jianqiu pondered for a while, then asked, "Do you want to learn?"

"what?"

Li Dongbao didn't react at first, but then he waved his hands again and again: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Gu Jianqiu didn't care: "The times are changing rapidly, and the bad habit of clinging to old knowledge should be changed long ago. One or two ancient Qi training methods are not rare. Even if you learn the whole "Zhen Yuan Six Qi", driving a mule engine is nothing more than being faster and more flexible. It still can't withstand missile bombardment. It can be regarded as giving you an extra way to save your life."

After spending these days together, Gu Jianqiu got to know this boy, who was about the same age as his younger brother, better. Like most children from the countryside, Li Dongbao was introverted and hardworking. Perhaps it was because he was exploited too much by his superiors in the sailor camp, he had a violent nature in his bones, and was cruel to others and to himself. To be honest, he was a bit like himself back then.

After that, Gu Jianqiu called Li Dongbao over. He grabbed his wrist, felt his pulse, and said after a moment's hesitation, "Since you have the foundation of the Luo School and the skill of refining Qi, I will first teach you a set of breathing techniques..."

The "New National Standard" has a total of 32 chapters, which do not involve the application of magic machines and weapons. There are only nine chapters that focus on electrocardiography and physical training. What Gu Jianqiu is trying to teach Li Dongbao now is one of the chapters and sections, with the subtitle "Training techniques for armed cross-country."

Gu Jianqiu naturally had no intention of keeping the new national standard to himself. If he had not been too busy and had not had a suitable channel for the time being, he would have compiled a more moderate new national standard and printed and published it publicly.

By the way, if Gu Jianqiu remembered correctly, the predecessor of the new national standard, the "National Martial Arts Outline" drafted by Lu Yi, should have been published in the past few years. Li Dongbao was a little embarrassed at first, but he was soon attracted by what Gu Jianqiu said and immersed himself unconsciously. When he reacted, two hours had passed. Although he had not done any strenuous exercise, he actually broke out in a thin sweat just by breathing. He felt warm all over and felt very comfortable.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Gu Jianqiu patted Li Dongbao on the shoulder. Li Dongbao looked a little strange. Seeing him hesitating, Gu Jianqiu simply said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Brother Gu, you are so kind to me. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. I won't hesitate. But there is one thing I must say. I have sworn a solemn oath since I came in. If anyone wants to shit on me, I will fight him to the death. Except for this, I will do anything."

Gu Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitching visibly: "?! Go to hell..."

After a long while, he swallowed back the dirty words that were on the tip of his tongue and waved his hands helplessly: "You think too much, go to sleep."

After driving Li Dongbao away, Gu Jianqiu returned to his room. The brown off-road backpack was lying quietly in the corner. He touched the metal handle at the bottom, and after confirming that the flight backpack and the thulium knife were intact, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Qian Shaoqing disappeared unexpectedly. Jiao En, as the leader, was leading two regular soldiers to negotiate with McDonald. Now was the weakest moment inside the Tianbing Machine.

As long as he uses a thulium cutter to cut open the alloy door of the external cabin and steals a mule machine or any other vehicle, Gu Jianqiu can disappear like a drop of water in the McDonald's commercial space station with a population of over one million. After the storm passes, he can transfer to a commercial spacecraft to escape to other ancient planets.

But Gu Jianqiu did not intend to do so. In fact, he had already made up his mind to follow this military eye all the way to Baidi Ring.

This is certainly not because Solong Gaowa has big breasts and Gu Jianqiu was attracted by her beauty.

But when Gu Jianqiu determined that the leader of the Suanni army was going to rush to the Baidihuan battlefield to provide cover, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to learn phase escape.

The so-called phase escape is a kind of equipment that can be installed in the low slot of the divine machine. Its function is to create an artificial wormhole and realize material jump. Although it can only go back and forth between two phase devices and consumes a lot of energy, the single jump distance cannot exceed 100 million kilometers. But it does not prevent phase escape from becoming one of the greatest technologies in human history.

Thousands of years ago, ambitious monarchs in ancient times built phase rings on various ancient stars to transport craftsmen, troops and supplies.

Today, human beings have spread all over the solar system, with a range of activities spanning 9 billion kilometers and a population of tens of billions. Phase technology can be said to have played a great role. You know, even if it is a king-level machine, if the low slot does not have phase escape installed, it will take a year to cross 9 billion kilometers.

But if equipped with high-quality phase escape, some king-level divine machines can even cross the entire solar system within a day, reaching the edge of the orbit of the ancient star of Poseidon.

Until the eve of the destruction of the Six Desire Heavens, Phase Escape had always been one of the most expensive divine mechanical components on the market. The smallest Phase Escape cost millions of Yuan and was rarely circulated. Once it appeared, it would be snatched up.

The reason why Gu Jianqiu was so interested in Phase Escape was not only because of its scarcity and preciousness, but also because this was the hottest century of the great development era, and many mysterious wormholes that had not yet been developed were waiting for him to explore.

Behind these natural wormholes lie countless precious resources, such as ultra-rare materials that have yet to be mined by humans, ancient divine machines lost in the long river of history, or the technology and relics of lost alien civilizations.

More importantly, these wormholes also contain countless high-risk cosmic spirits and terrifying natural disaster creatures...

In the original history, explorers brought these unknown disasters back to the solar system, which brought many heavy blows to mankind. Even the outbreak of the Six Desire Heavens was inextricably linked to this...

Some of these natural wormholes are located in the perihelion direction, even close to the sun, while others are located in the aphelion direction, with the farthest reaching the ancient star Pluto. If you take a commercial spacecraft, a round trip can take several years.

If Gu Jianqiu could get a phase escape weapon, his efficiency in exploring these wormholes would naturally be incomparable.

In the original history, when the White Emperor Ring War ended, Gu Jianqiu had not even joined the Yanwu Alliance, and naturally could not participate in the final battle of the Shuanghua War. But in his memory, after the White Emperor Ring War, there was indeed a lot of sales information of phase escape components on the black market of the ancient star Yinghuo. Considering this, Gu Jianqiu decided to change his original plan to go to the ancient star Yinghuo. It was a pity that in this way, he would not be able to see his elder brother Tan Gongde for a while.

Considering the danger of the Baidihuan battlefield, now is certainly not a good time to escape from this army.

But after observing for a few days, Gu Jianqiu was worried about the future of this army. The meeting a few hours ago was a farce that was too horrible to watch for Gu Jianqiu, a bystander.

Because he happened to overhear the conversation between Qian Shaoqing and his group, it was not difficult for Gu Jianqiu to guess the cause and effect of the incident. It was just embezzlement. However, unexpectedly, three servants died and Qian Shaoqing also disappeared.

A soldier from the Empire disappeared alive and dead on the satellite fortress that Citigroup had just acquired. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, but the Empire had no intention of causing friction with Citigroup, and it involved a scandal of soldiers selling military supplies, so Gu Jianqiu judged that it would most likely be left unresolved.

But Jiao En obviously doesn't think so...

As an ancient satellite fortress, Jintaihua Space Station has a history of 600 years. Its main structure was assembled in 16 launches and took 32 natural years to build. It was once the largest trading center for interstellar secret materials and luxury goods in human civilization. At its peak, Jintaihua had a population of more than 3 million, most of whom were Jin Moli immigrants.

However, with the booming era of large-scale development, the ancient star Yinghuo has almost occupied the ecological niches of most of Jin Taihua's pillar industries. Coupled with the soaring crime rate, it seems that Jin Taihua's decline is only a matter of time.

During the first hundred years after its construction, Jintaihua was directly governed by the governor sent by the Haitang Empire, and later by the Imperial Ministry of Rites and the Jinmoli Royal Family. Until recently, the United Gems Company, a commercial giant of Citi, bought the operating rights of Jintaihua from the Jinmoli Royal Family and the Empire, and renamed it McDonald's Commercial Space Station, and began to transform into gambling, pornography and other industries.

On the top floor of a tall building in the downtown area, under a full-length glass curtain wall, Jiao En sat on a red leather sofa with his eyes straight ahead, declining the champagne brought by the waitress, with his eyes slightly closed, until a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

The man was wearing a white suit, had wheat-colored skin, and his fingers were covered with dazzling gemstone rings. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a somewhat gloomy face. As soon as he entered the room, the waiters in the hall knelt down, but he ignored them, pointed at Jiao En's nose and cursed in Jin Moli's language: "I don't care what position you hold in the Suanni Army, drive your two tactical fearless machines away from my doorstep immediately, otherwise we won't have anything to talk about."

"..."

Jiao En was silent for a while before he pressed the radio button. He didn't say anything, but a slight roar was heard in the air.

The man in the white suit took a few quick steps, looking down at the street through the glass curtain wall, and watched two scarlet soldiers drive across the asphalt road, leaving with countless nervous Citi security guards and explosion-proof exoskeletons printed with golden jasmine patterns. He then slowly suppressed his anger, turned around and sat opposite Jiao En, took out a cigar box from the inner pocket of his suit, threw a cigar at Jiao En's chest, and then puffed on his own: "What's your last name? Are you Lao Lu's old subordinate?"
