Heaven's Formula

"I see."

Xia Fan turned to look at Li, and the latter waved his hand before he could speak, "Don't worry about me, you go. It's important."

Arriving at the living room of the palace, High Priest Senia has been waiting at the long table for a long time.

The passage of time seems to have no effect on her, even Ai Li has become a Tingting beauty, and she still looks the same as seven or eight years ago.

"Let's talk." Xia Fan cut to the chase.

"A migratory tree boat sank on the ice crystal sea route, and nearly 1 people were missing. According to survivors, before the accident, there was a big explosion and violent tremors on the tree boat." The high priest's tone was quite dignified.

The tree boat sank?

Xia Fan frowned. The word "sinking" seemed to be inherently difficult to associate with Shuzhou.The so-called migration tree boat is the part separated from the big tree boat. If tree boats like Noah and Silver Star are compared to regular aircraft carriers, then the migration tree boat is an amphibious assault ship, except for the smaller size. , and the rest is exactly the same.

The sinking of traditional ships comes from the loss of reserve buoyancy, usually manifested as structural damage leading to a large amount of water in the cabin, but the tree boat itself is a giant tree, and a large number of bottom roots form a disk-shaped floating body, which can float on the water by itself.It is easy to sink an iron plate into the sea, but it is not so easy to replace it with wood with a relatively low density.

"Which tribe does it belong to?" Xia Fan asked.

"Morrowind." Senia replied, "The High Priest Ovassy has already launched an investigation while notifying me."

Since the great unification, the world islanders have also ended their escape journey, but the elves did not form a new world island again, but formed many small tribes attached to Qiguo with the tree boat as an individual.Because they found that being independent from the world would only lead to solidification and backwardness, and now that the whole people of the country are angry, the worry of blood assimilation no longer exists, which makes a large number of elves follow Noah's approach and enter the land to settle , and extensive marriages with humans, firmly binding the ethnic group and the continent together.

Because of this, they no longer pursue a centralized political power, but continue the system when they fled. The high priest is the supreme ruler of one or more tree boats. country.Senia is the representative figure launched by all the high priests, and directly talks to the senior management of the bureau.

The elves also contributed a lot to this great migration plan. After all, transoceanic transshipment is the specialty of tree boats. In order to improve the transportation capacity, migration tree boats came into being—each tribe will contribute two to three migration tree boats to meet Resource allocation and population movement needs in overseas places.Among them, the Morrowind tribe is responsible for the transshipment of several remote kingdoms in the northern part of the West Pole, and the mission is not critical.

"Could someone sabotage it intentionally?" Xia Fan tapped on the table and asked.

"This possibility is not ruled out. But I have told other high priests that they must carefully check the migrator's belongings before boarding the boat. If they listen a little bit, they will not sink a tree boat." Senia rubbed Rubbing his forehead, "If you want to sink a tree boat directly, you probably have to bring several carts of explosives, right?"

Migration is by no means a simple matter.

Propaganda and policy rewards alone are far from enough for people to leave their familiar places of residence and go to completely unfamiliar foreign countries. Forced violence is basically inevitable.In fact, since the start of the Great Migration, there have been as many as a thousand confrontations, resulting in the death of more than 3000 people, most of whom were migrating officials and soldiers from Qiguo.

This was a tragedy that happened when Xia Fan emphasized that the Apocalypse Army should be responsible for the guard work.If it is left to each locality to handle it by itself, the conflicts may be ten times more than it is too much.

Since the army was required to exercise extreme restraint and not to use weapons against the migrants, the conflict between the two sides paralyzed the migration in remote areas for a while.In the end, Xia Fan also had to give in, and promulgated a new decree, which could selectively abandon those places of residence that he insisted on not leaving. This allowed the great migration plan to continue to be promoted.

Today, the sinking of a tree boat directly caused the death of nearly [-] people, quadrupling the number of victims in the accident. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Great Migration.

"Investigation needs to be done, but the transportation line of the Ice Crystal Sea cannot be stagnant." Xia Fan quickly finalized his decision and said, "Send a report to the High Priest of Owassie, telling him that Shangyuan City will give compensation to the sacrificed elves, and at the same time let him Strengthen the inspection work before boarding the ship, and...separately carry the infected and non-infected people."

He said the last sentence with emphasis.

Senia also understood his intention, took a deep look at him and nodded, "I understand."

"Send another flying-class fast shuttle, and ask Taxis to assign a dragon priest who can use the reappearance scroll." Xia Fan said again, "I want to see the scene when the incident happened with my own eyes."

The Feixiang class is a special green shuttle equipped with multiple astronomical devices, and it is also the fastest ship in the navy. According to the evaluation of the machine building bureau, people are pressed on the propeller, and it can carry five people in one day and night. Across the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

After Senia took the order to leave, he got up and went to the window of the hall, looking at the sky outside.

The sky, which had been clear and bright just now, was now covered with a hint of haze.

He opened the window, and the air blowing in front of him was a little cooler.

Apparently a shower was coming.

……

Three days later, Xia Fan received a message from Xiji, saying that the dragon priest of the Church of Hera had arrived at the designated location.

He immediately summoned relevant high-level officials into the conference hall, and then signaled to Sikong, "It's time to start."

The latter switched to the projection mode, looked at the wall on one side of the hall, and projected the surveillance screen on the other side of the sea onto the wall. Since the development of the sky eye, in addition to being able to monitor several major cities in Qiguo, it can also escape from The tower fires small rockets to send a surveillance aircraft with a five to six hour stay in the air to various areas of the shelter.With the help of this pioneer technology, even if Xia Fan and others are in Shangyuan City, they can still see the situation on the ice crystal sea.

Chapter 912 Warning

"Use the reappearance scroll." Xia Fan said directly to the priest of Hera Church in dragon language.

The latter activated the scroll after touching his chest and saluting to the east.

Fog suddenly rose up on the sea.

When the fog dissipated, a huge phantom tree boat appeared in the center of the image—although it was a shrunken migratory tree boat, its size was still much larger than that of a first-class battleship. It can carry about 2 people round-trip.Judging from the track, it was traveling from north to south, and the wind and waves on the sea were quite calm, which was a rare good weather.

But only tens of seconds later, a bright flame burst out in the Shuzhou residential area!

It expanded rapidly, almost covering half of the treeboat in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the image was severely distorted, as if it was disturbed by something.

Everyone at the scene took a breath.

Everything was in the blink of an eye, and when the image returned to normal, a raging fire had already ignited on the tree boat, and it began to tilt in the direction of the explosion.Many people fled their homes in panic and jumped into the sea in a panic, fearing that they would be affected by the flames.But it is clear to the viewers that the ultimate survivors are not one in ten.

"This is..." Qianyan frowned.

"The fluctuation caused by the drastic change of magic power." High Priest Senia said, "Only in this case, the recurrence will be distorted."

"What about the monitoring judgment?" Xia Fan looked at Sikong.

"It is indeed some kind of magic technique." The latter affirmed, "The sky eye has recorded the fluctuation of qi, which lasts for about three seconds, but the peak value is as high as four or five hundred... It is probably similar to when you cast Jiuxiao Tianlei once."

Xia Fan's heart sank.

This is not a spell that ordinary people can cast, especially in the far north and west.

Qiguo's universal education cannot reach such a distant place.

The conclusion is almost obvious.

"This should be caused by the immortal art." Gan said the thoughts of everyone, "Either someone has obtained the immortal art through soul inheritance, or it is a new listener."

"Among the surviving people, is there anyone who is sensitive?" Xia Fan asked directly to High Priest Owasir of the Morrowind Tribe.

"Return to Your Excellency, I haven't found it yet." A slightly disturbing electronic voice came from over there.

"So this person belongs to the latter, and has already died in an accident..." He looked around the meeting hall, his expression serious, "We know that as long as the average listener doesn't intentionally seek death, it is unlikely to—"

"Boom—long——!"

In the middle of speaking, a sudden loud noise interrupted his words!

The roar was so loud that it even shattered several pieces of glass in the hall!

Everyone's complexion couldn't help but change.

This is Shangyuan City, Qiguo's core hinterland, not to mention attacks, there are not many vicious cases such as robbery and murder, this strange noise is really unimaginable.

Xia Fan didn't wait for his subordinates to report, he got up and ran out of the conference hall.

When he came to an open-air high point in the palace, he saw billowing smoke rising from the west, and the smoke column came from the former factory building of the Ministry of Industry, which is also the current Comprehensive Mechanism Bureau.

This shocked him!

It is also the test site for Tianhe!

"Lord Xia, the police station came to report that there was an explosion in the mechanism building." The guard stepped forward and said, "At present, a fire has broken out, and the water dragon rescue team is on their way."

"What about casualties?"

"I don't know, but the power of the explosion was astonishing. The courtyard wall of the factory collapsed, and many pedestrians were injured on the street outside."

Did it even affect the passers-by outside...

Xia Fan couldn't care less about the halfway meeting, "Go back to the conference hall and let everyone have a rest, I'll go there later."

"Yes."

As soon as the guards left, he used the technique of transformation, stretched out the wings behind his back, and planned to go to the Mechanism Bureau himself.After all, it was the permanent residence of Ning Wanjun and Mo Yun, if he couldn't confirm the safety of the two, he really couldn't feel at ease.

However, just as the wings opened, Xia Fan stopped his figure again.

Because he caught a glimpse of a white light behind him.

The world turned black and white at some point, and even the smoke column in the distance seemed to stop churning.

Xia Fan turned around, and a white and flawless stone door quietly appeared in front of him.

The door opened, and that familiar figure came into view.

The last time I saw Luo Qingqing was on Mount Xuri eight years ago.

But he is very clear that the current Luo Qingqing is just a fictitious image, a coat put on by a "god".

Xia Fan recited the technique silently in his heart, and the energy in his body also circulated normally, as if there was no hindrance.

That means he at least has the ability to fight back.

"You don't need to be so vigilant, I'm here to send a signal." The other party said first—or the voice was transmitted directly into his mind, "You are not a threat to me, and I am not a threat to you if it is not necessary. Don’t want to interfere with the functioning of the stranded society.”

"The sinking of the migration tree boat, and the big explosion just now are all related to you...isn't that right?" Xia Fan said bluntly.

"That's right, this is a warning." Luo, who was shining with wings of light, said lightly and without concealment, "The listener is the cornerstone of the world, an unshakable order, but you are questioning this order."

Sure enough, the Gate of Heaven can not only empower the listener, but also influence them to a certain extent, and even turn them into pawns.

If the perpetrator is the listener who sacrificed his own life, then everything that happened on the tree boat can be understood.

"I'm... questioning this order?" Xia Fan pretended to be puzzled.

"The part of the teaching material that involves the listener is obviously untrue. You called it a chaotic phenomenon, and implied that it was related to evil forces. You asked people not to believe what they heard, and even if they did, they should report it to the Bureau ——This is the subversion of order. In this world, the listener is a gift from the gate of heaven, there is no doubt about it.”

The content of the textbook?

Xia Fan was very surprised. It stands to reason that the brain of the sanctuary is an extremely closed system. In the past, it only allowed some people who had awakened the ability to sense Qi to further improve their abilities, and they would not respond directly to their requests. Not to mention talking to them to obtain information about human society.

But that's clearly changing.

It has not only affected the listener, but also gained insight into the world through the listener, which shows that the shelter is also changing.

"You are special, to be able to talk to me without being listened to, this is the right of the stranded, and your only chance. There will be no second warning - don't forget that you are all living in shelters In the middle, if you want to destroy the existing order, the punishment of heaven will come, and all the resources you need to survive will cease to exist." The god said in an unquestionable tone.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Delete this part of the content, and similar descriptions must not appear again."

"I..." Xia Fan paused for a moment, "...understood."

The light-winged angel stopped talking, turned around and escaped into the stone gate.

"Wait a minute, I know your origin." He said suddenly again, "The descendants of these stranded people... What is the secular world in this shelter to you?"

"I am the brain, so naturally I need siblings." The door slowly closed, and a voice came out from the afterglow, "And you... are siblings."

Chapter 913 Fork

When seeing Ning Wanjun and Mo Yun again, Xia Fan finally let out a sigh of relief—the two of them looked unscathed, as if they were not affected by the explosion at all.

"What's going on, with such a dignified expression?" Ning Wanjun stood on tiptoe and patted the ashes on Xia Fan's shoulder, "Did something happen to the New Machine Building Bureau?"

"Where were you at that time?" Only then did he realize that his body was covered in black ash after rummaging through the ruins to save people.

"Where else can it be, of course it is in the sky."

"Heaven?" Xia Fan was slightly taken aback, "The Sky Crane is finished?"

"Yes, not only was it stable to the sky, but we also drove it around Shangyuan City." Ning Wanjun shrugged, and moved his eyes to the factory area not far away, "I wanted to celebrate Yes, but it doesn't seem right now."

Mo Yun had a heartache on his face. After all, the students who were busy there were all the students she taught by herself, "Master Xia, have you found out the cause of the accident?"

"It will be publicized as an experimental accident."

"External?" Mo Yun frowned, "What about internal?"

"Go back to the palace, I have something to tell you."

……

Half an hour later, Xia Fan received a report from the police station.The factory fire was extinguished in time and did not spread to the nearby warehouses and staff living areas; the explosion killed 45 people and injured more than 120 people, 40 of whom were seriously injured.Several magic weapon production lines in the factory were completely destroyed, but compared to the casualties, this loss is insignificant.

Tianyan also confirmed that there were quite obvious breath fluctuations before the explosion.

In the same way as the method of relocating the tree boat, the accidents in the New Mechanism Bureau were also caused by the listeners.Through identity comparison, it has been locked as an elf woman named Zyra.

Similarly, she also died in this accident.

Although the number of people damaged in the machine building bureau is less than that of Shuzhou, more than 40 people are skilled machine builders. They have not only accepted the complete courses of elementary, middle and advanced courses in the school, but also studied with Mo Yun for many years. It can be said that they are not the most valuable group of Qiguo. talent.The production line can be restored in a short time, but it will not be so easy for these experienced qi sensers to fill up.

He distributed the report to the high-level people in the conference hall, "What do you think?"

As early as 10 minutes ago, Xia Fan briefly narrated his experience, and it was unprecedented for Tiandao Gate to find him on his own initiative.

"If all the listeners will become such bombs... that would be too scary." Gan said in a deep voice.What he is most concerned about is the safety of Qiguo, "We must count how many listeners there are among the registered qi-infectors, and take care of them individually."

"How to count?" Yan Qing objected, "The current way to identify listeners is to report voluntarily. If you do this, I'm afraid there will be no one who declares."

"Then can we find a way to distinguish between ordinary alchemists and listeners?"
