Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6554 Bone Setting
Chen Xi reached out and turned the bamboo tube over, then poured out a crystal-like object from it. With a slight movement of his spiritual talent, Chen Xi felt something inside that was similar to the crystal of the essence of heaven and earth created by Guo Zhao. There was no doubt that there was no problem in calling this thing a demon crystal.

"Feel it." Chen Xi handed the demon crystal to his guardian. Han Qiong was somewhat confused after he took it. But after getting the demon crystal, Han Qiong quickly realized what it was.

"Is this the crystal of the essence of heaven and earth?" Han Qiong quickly identified the essence of this thing, and then frowned. As an old generation who practiced both immortal and martial arts, Han Qiong quickly detected different things from this demon crystal, "There is a small part of energy in this thing that can be absorbed. It feels a bit like the essence of the origin of life. Not much, but it does exist."

"This is something that Yingchuan Chen obtained in East Africa. It was taken from East African locusts and named Demon Crystal by them." Chen Xi said solemnly, "Forget it, I'm going back to the government first. This matter may be difficult to resolve."

In the letter, Chen Zhe clearly explained how this thing came about, as well as the estimates of the Three Kings. After all, the Yingchuan Chen family had also heard about the story of the crystallization of the essence of heaven and earth. Even if they didn't know it before, after seeing the crystal that exploded from the locust's body, Chen Zhe asked around and found out almost everything he needed to know.

But in the current situation, we absolutely cannot say that this thing was invented by the Three Kings. Even if the Three Kings have conducted research on it and did not actually develop it, we cannot mention it. This thing can only put the blame on Rome. After all, there are only three major empires left in the world, only you and me.

Chen Xi went and came back, but the bigwigs in the Executive Yuan didn't take it seriously. After all, such things happen from time to time. Chen Xi, who runs so hard every day, met other people on the way. Isn't that normal?

"What happened that made him run back so quickly?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"Stop talking nonsense. This matter is extremely serious. Hurry up and hand over the entire letter of credence. No matter what the situation is, report it to Rome first." Chen Xi placed the demon crystal on the table and spoke to Guo Jia with a serious face.

"What is this?" Li You didn't react. He picked it up and took a look. He realized that it was a crystal of the essence of heaven and earth. "Such a small crystal of the essence of heaven and earth, can it finally be mass-produced?"

Of course not. Now the locusts that possess the crystals of the essence of heaven and earth have not yet become the main force of the locusts. In addition, in the second round of locust plague, all the unlucky children in Central Asia were defeated and had no time to pick up the spoils. Occasionally, locusts that possessed the crystals of the essence of heaven and earth were killed and eaten by later locusts.

"Should the letter be released publicly or privately?" Li You said seriously.

Guo Jia and Fa Zheng looked at each other, then shook their heads to indicate no.

"I'll arrange it right away." Li You nodded. "Should we collect this stuff? Even if it's not as good as the large crystals of Heaven and Earth Essence made by Queen Guo, it's still a top-notch Heaven and Earth Essence energy body. If we have enough, we can use it as fuel for the Heaven and Earth Essence-steam engine. It should be the best thing."

"Forget it. We'll ask the Central Asian families later. Now let's put the blame on Rome. Anyway, everything that happens in East Africa is Rome's problem." Chen Xi said very seriously. Since the incident happened in Rome's radiation zone, it was of course Rome's problem.

"Submit it privately to give the Roman Empire some face. It's not a good time to provoke them too much now." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, Rome's current situation is not very good, but it still has strength. Even if something like this is definitely related to Rome, it is better not to make it known to everyone when it is impossible to convict them.

"What?" Upon hearing the news, the people working in the Executive Yuan were stunned. How could locusts be worthy of possessing such a thing? This was too outrageous.

This is also why the East African locusts are so ridiculously large.

"Send someone over there and find the researchers of the Three Kings to confirm with them whether there are any means of counterattack. After all, they have also studied the relevant technology. Even if there are no results, they should have some ideas." Chen Xi said solemnly. Locust Sky is already powerful enough, and now a higher version of the Demon Crystal Locust Sky has appeared. It would be strange if the combat effectiveness did not soar.

As for the demon crystal itself, it looks quite solid, but seems to be easily assimilated by the locusts. Although a demon crystal the size of a fingernail may only form a new crystal the size of a needle tip in the body of a few locusts after being assimilated and absorbed, this new crystal will cause the locusts and the demon crystal to continue to grow in the subsequent process of continuously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

"Should we send people to East Africa to conduct field research to determine the scale of locusts possessing this crystal among all locusts?" Li You asked with a serious expression as he looked at the demon crystal.

"This is taken from the body of a locust." Chen Xi said with a dark face. He felt that the second round of locusts was outrageous. It turned out that they had a backup energy source.

"I don't know why, but locusts really have this thing. This is something my cousin sent me from East Africa." Chen Xi said with a dark face, "Fengxiao, Xiaozhi, didn't you receive any reports from the Central Asian family regarding this thing?"

The thing that consumed the most Heaven and Earth Essence Crystals for the Han Dynasty was the Heaven and Earth Essence type power machine. Although it was possible to draw Heaven and Earth Essence as a power source, the density of Heaven and Earth Essence was there, and it was not very exciting to burn it, and there was no way to reach the power limit of the power machine.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi purchased large pieces of Heaven and Earth Essence Crystals from Queen Guo. Large pieces of Heaven and Earth Essence Crystals can be burned directly as additives, which can maximize the power of the seventh-generation ship in a short period of time. Compared with other reserve energies, as of now, the most efficient output must be obtained with Heaven and Earth Essence Crystals, and the production cost of this thing was actually very high in the past.

The Han Empire had the technology to produce this kind of thing, but the cost was not much cheaper than Queen Guo's hand-kneading, so when Li You saw the demon crystal, his first reaction was to find a suitable substitute. In fact, this idea was exactly the same as when the three kings were preparing to make this thing. They were also forced to take the path of self-research because the crystal of heaven and earth essence was too expensive, whether they bought it from the Han Dynasty or from Queen Guo, it was too expensive.

After all, things like demon crystals and magic cores are high-energy crystals. If they are used as energy reserves and burned, it is definitely a way to solve the problem.

"The energy density of this thing has not been tested yet, but since it can form crystals, the density will not be too low. At least it will not be lower than the energy density of the high-density energy warehouse we built on the seventh-generation ship." Chen Xi glanced at Li You and did not think that this idea was wrong. After all, this was an energy crystal. If it could be obtained directly from the natural world, it would save a lot of trouble.

"I'll have someone deal with it now." Li You took a look at the demon crystal, and a lot of plans came into his mind. After all, these days, because the Han Dynasty followed the technology route of the essence of heaven and earth, the subsequent development of many things had been limited by energy issues. And now this thing really helped the Han Dynasty solve the energy problem to a certain extent.

After Chen Xi arranged everything related to the demon crystal, he slipped away again. There was no other way. Zhuge Liang in the Government Office could already replace Lu Su's work to a certain extent, so Chen Xi could skip class like he did in the past. After all, his successor had to develop well.

After running out of Weiyang Palace, Chen Xi went to the Medical Academy. The secret techniques obtained from Kushan were now being tested. The personnel reported by Li You had been mobilized from all over the place to Chang'an, and Liu Bei also met with this group of people.

Although they returned with injuries and disabilities due to battlefield injuries, Chen Xi had specially gone to meet this group of people before and found that their mental outlook was still quite good.

Chen Xi estimated that on the one hand, the social security system of his own family was doing well, so these people would be well fed and clothed when they returned no matter what; on the other hand, these people, probably carefully selected by Li You, were all true elites and would not be defeated by such difficulties at all.

So when Liu Bei entertained these dozen veterans, Chen Xi also went to meet them. They were all people with outstanding contributions. All of them were at the sixth level of smelting. There was also an unlucky old brother who was at the seventh level of smelting and had lost his arms and legs. Chen Xi felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

In addition, the other party did not seem to care much about Chen Xi's question about how he lost his arms and legs, so he told the truth that he was surrounded by several Kushan people. He did not expect that the opponent had a talent for strong mental control, so he was immobilized for a few tenths of a second, and then his thigh was cut off. After losing his leg, he had difficulty moving and his arm was chopped off. It was only thanks to his brothers who were strong that they carried him back, otherwise he would have been dead.

Also present at the banquet was Queen Xiao. After all, Queen Xiao had made a great contribution this time. She had discovered the Kushans' method of planting spies and solved a big problem for the Han Dynasty. In addition, in order to quickly capture Yang Qiong, Queen Xiao used her index finger to activate the vacuum gun.

Originally, this was not a big deal. The index finger was gone, so she could just pick it up and find a reliable doctor to reconnect it. Then she could activate her talent for accelerated recovery and it would heal on its own in no time. But after Empress Xiao killed Yang Qiong, she realized the existence of the spy and rushed to Chengdu as soon as possible, missing the time for the reconnection. It was already summer at that time, and the broken finger quickly rotted. When Empress Xiao met Liu Bei, there was no need to reconnect the finger anymore.

So Queen Xiao was considered disabled. So when Liu Bei returned from Chengdu, he took Queen Xiao with him and prepared to reconnect her finger as well. After all, Chen Xi also said that the secret technique brought back from the Kushan prostitute was very powerful and could completely solve the problem of disability.

Liu Bei thought that Queen Xiao's injury was a work-related one, and she had made a great contribution this time. Now that there was technology to regenerate severed limbs, he helped Queen Xiao solve the problem. Anyway, he could even give her a thigh to press on, so the index finger would be no problem at all.

So, Liu Bei took Empress Xiao with him to attend the banquet for the dozen disabled veterans. Empress Xiao felt quite embarrassed at the time. What a damn shame! Everyone else had missing limbs, blinded eyes, etc., but she had no injuries on her body. This was quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, the circle of veterans who have reached the fifth or sixth level of smelting is very small, and Queen Xiao also knows several of them. The old brothers asked Queen Xiao what was going on and why she was here, and Queen Xiao just explained a few things. Others just thought that Queen Xiao was very lucky that she could reconnect her broken fingers. But thinking about the fact that she had been disabled for so many years, and now her arms and thighs could be reconnected, it would be a matter of time before she could return to the peak.

"How is it? Is there any problem with this secret technique?" Chen Xi came to the Medical College and saw Liu Bei here. He asked with some curiosity. Although it has been verified that there is no problem, this is the first time it is used on veterans, so Chen Xi is still a little worried.

"No problem. After Empress Xiao reattached her index finger, she said that except for the lack of exercise, there were no other problems." Liu Bei said with some emotion, "Can we solve all the disability problems in the country now?"

"Probably. After verification, when the technology is further improved, we will release this technology to treat all disabled people. We will also provide certain subsidies for the cost. As for the veterans, we don't plan to charge them." Chen Xi thought for a while and said. This was what he had planned.

"This technology is indeed very good. The secret art of the Kushan Empire was not developed towards war, but towards social stability. This is also a way of thinking to solve the problem." Liu Bei said with great emotion as he looked at the old soldier who had his thigh reconnected and was excitedly rehabilitating.

"As far as I know, this should be an accidental product, but it's good." Chen Xi was very happy when he saw the old soldier standing on the ground and boxing excitedly. Then he was even happier when he saw several doctors dragging the old soldier away.

The treatment was not actually over yet. After the two veterans who ran out had their arms and legs reconnected, they felt that they had recovered to their peak. They recovered to their limit at an accelerated speed, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and rapidly strengthening the strength of their new arms and legs. In short, for these veterans carefully selected by Li You, their recovery speed far exceeded previous estimates.

"I feel that it is necessary to dig deeper into elite talents. Although the doctor means well, I think that a guy like Zhang Liang, as long as he has legs, he doesn't need any enhanced recovery and can recover on his own." Liu Bei explained to Chen Xi.

The old man with the seventh level of smelting who was just pulled back was definitely one of the top 30, or even top 20 veterans in the world. Before Sun Liang came out of nowhere, his super-fast recovery was the most exaggerated. So as soon as his leg was reattached, he was able to run out alive and well, which made the doctor quite embarrassed.
