Chapter 1402 A Lot of Hope
The Empire's research on the Skyhook Maze has never been interrupted, but the entry threshold is extremely high.
The research is led by the military, and even members of the Shenwen Society must undergo strict review before they can participate in some of the research.
Apart from authorization from the military, there is only one way to enter the maze, and that is through student trials at major colleges and universities.
When the trials first started, students were not even allowed to bring bodyguards.
It’s just that the maze was a bit too dangerous, and the casualty rate among students remained high, so this loophole was later opened.
The military's invitation to Digital Phantom is a rare gesture of goodwill.
However, in the opinion of the Fourth Command, the military probably saw that the experimental platform had stayed in Tianfeng all this time and was a little confused about their intentions.
As a declining habitable planet, Tianfeng has nothing else to offer except the Tiangou Maze.
So this was a gesture of goodwill, but it was also probably a test. It was just that the military couldn't come forward directly, so they asked Buckingham to convey the message.
Thinking of this, the fourth in command said that the main force of the team is not in Tianfeng at the moment, and has no plans to enter the maze in the short term.
When Buckingham heard that the main force was not there, he had no choice but to take his leave.
However, he and Nelson were not in a hurry to leave, but settled down near the military area.
More than a month later, Qu Jianlei and others came back. In order to keep it secret, they were originally teleported back to the experimental platform.
After hearing about the military's invitation, they drove the battalion-level ship back.
Buckingham and Nelson came to see him again after hearing the news.
This time, it was Qu Jianlei who came out to receive them.
In response to the military's invitation, he said that his interest in the maze lies mainly in its external structure.
As for the internal situation of the maze, Qu Jianlei thought it was a bit sensitive and wanted to know what the military's purpose was.
His question was straightforward enough, and Buckingham guessed what was going on to some extent - after all, the experimental platform had been here for too long.
So he said that he would relay the information to the military and did not want to get involved in this topic.
Seriously, he felt that the supreme being in front of him had a sense of déjà vu.
Apart from the already known Dougan, Jing Yuexin and a certain female Supreme, this should be the fourth Supreme of Digital Phantom.
This person's aura was even deeper, but Buckingham did feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Sir, have we met before?"
Qu Jianlei smiled when he heard this, "Why do we have to know each other before we meet? At least we have met each other now."
Seeing that he was being vague, Buckingham could only ask again, "Lady Jing Yuexin...I haven't seen you for a long time."
"She is in seclusion," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It is not appropriate to disturb her."
Buckingham did not dare to ask more questions, but he could not help feeling suspicious: He was already at the highest level, why did he need to remain in seclusion for a long time?
He had also heard that the Supreme would face the backlash of the world, but he hadn't heard of Jing Yuexin taking action recently, right?
With this doubt in mind, he and Nelson left the experimental platform.
The two men returned to their residence and were just talking about going to the military district to reply to a letter tomorrow, when the Supreme came to their door again.
It was Put who came. He was a little curious about who was brought back on the Digital Phantom's battalion-level ship this time.
Hearing that another unknown male Supreme had appeared, Putt couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"This Digital Phantom...how many cards does it have yet to reveal?"
However, the more this happened, the more worried he became about the military's arrangements. "What is their attitude towards the Skyhook Maze?"
Buckingham then realized that the military's invitation was actually at the behest of this man.
So he relayed the other party's attitude and said that there should be someone in seclusion in the Digital Phantom.
As expected, this news also attracted Put's attention. He even thought that Dogan seemed to have disappeared for a long time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that the other party has already mastered the means to eliminate the backlash effect?"
This shows that deep down in his heart, he still has a very high opinion of Digital Phantom.
Buckingham waved his hand hastily upon hearing this, "Sir, I did not dare to inquire about this news, nor do I want to speculate rashly."
Putt hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to go again tomorrow."
"Tell the Supreme Being that I'd like to come and discuss a possible joint study of the Maze."
He had been rejected once, but thinking of Dogan's disappearance, he couldn't help but want to contact her again.
The Digital Phantom team he knew before did not have a male supremacist, and men and women thought differently.
So this time, it’s another attempt. I hope the other party won’t be so difficult to talk to.
After hearing this request, Qu Jianlei decided to meet the other party.
After all, this Supreme Being has been in Tianfeng for more than a year, and it is not known whether he is fully on guard against our side.
When Put boarded the battalion-class ship, he subconsciously released his perception - he was really curious about this team.
Upon seeing this, Qu Jianlei immediately retracted his pressure - that's more like it, since you are here as a guest, you should act like a guest.
A hint of surprise could not help but flash across Putt's face - this person's aura seemed even stronger than his own.
He has always had a bad temper, but this time, he restrained himself a little.
Put didn't believe that the other party was much stronger than him. If he went all out, maybe both sides would suffer losses.
But... why bother? No matter what kind of backlash the other party might experience, he didn't want to experience it anyway.
Considering that the other party might have magical weapons, he was even more reluctant to take action.
So he just nodded slightly, and explained, "I'm a little too curious. Sorry."
Qu Jianlei didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he just said calmly, "I understand."
But not accepting...right? Putt felt that the other party was even more arrogant than himself.
However, the other party was really confident, and he didn't want to make a fuss about it, so he talked about cooperating with the military to study the Skyhook Maze.
It must be admitted that the military does have the idea of further developing the maze, but the current research on the maze has reached a bottleneck.
Put hopes that the two sides can work together to break down information barriers and share future research results.
To be honest, there are really not many people who are qualified to make this suggestion. Even the boss of Tianfeng Military Region does not have the authority to make the final decision.
However, Qu Jianlei said that he was not very interested in the Skyhook Maze, so it would be better to put the cooperation on hold for the time being.
Putt did not force it after hearing this, especially since the other party said that he had entered the maze before.
He wanted to find out when the other party entered the maze, but Qu Jianlei just laughed it off and didn't respond.
Putt settled for the second best option. He believed that the current information barriers have seriously affected the development of the awakener system.
——In this regard, the Federation and the Alliance perform better than the Empire.
The situation facing the empire now is extremely serious.
Therefore, Put hopes to have a frank talk with Digital Phantom and exchange relevant information resources.
Qu Jianlei remained silent at this suggestion. He had no idea what information he needed from the military.
After a long while, he shook his head slightly, "Maybe we are a little arrogant, and feel that your suggestion is not equal."
This answer was a bit too arrogant, and Putt didn't even know how to respond to it.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed.
"I have no intention of blackmailing you, but the strength of the Empire's awakeners is far inferior to that of the Federation and the Alliance."
"Just talking about the alliance, based on the existing intelligence, we can preliminarily determine that the maximum number they have is close to 10,000!"
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows. This was quite rare data. "Is the information accurate?"
Put nodded and replied solemnly, "Just to get this number, the Empire lost nearly a hundred elite soldiers of the military."
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "No wonder the Awakeners who infiltrated the Alliance are generally at such a high level."
Put replied calmly, "For the Federation, the exact data is unknown, but the probability is about the same as the Alliance."
"Although the Federation's population is smaller than the Empire's, the number of Supremes will far exceed that of the Empire."
"They have a hard time resisting the invasion from another dimension. If the same thing happens to the Empire, what will be the consequences?"
Qu Jianlei pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"I hope to obtain the most detailed information about the original warriors, as well as information about the practitioners of the divine text system."
If the Empire really had any information that he didn't know, this was it.
For him who was born on Blue Star, finding his roots is an obsession, but rationally speaking, this thing cannot effectively improve combat power.
So he had been suppressing this mentality before, but now that the other party has described it so harshly, he decided to bring it up.
Putting aside other things, I believe Yi He and Qi Ling would be interested in the news, but as for Xi Zhao...that may not be the case.
A gleam of brilliance flashed across Put's eyes, and he nodded slowly, "So you don't know much about these?"
"I have some guesses," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "I am not from a famous family, so I don't know much about the core secrets..."
"It is purely by chance that I have come to this point, and I hope to learn more dusty secrets."
Put nodded slightly, without questioning his statement, but instead said.
"These things are indeed kept secret in the empire to avoid unrest among the people..."
"I can help you lobby for the right to know, but there are two problems."
"First, you must keep the relevant information confidential; second, what can we gain?"
Qu Jianlei smiled when he heard this, "There is definitely no problem keeping it secret. We have been doing a good job. Now I want to ask, what do you hope to gain?"
"We hope..." There was a trace of confusion on Put's face.
Digital Phantom has so many good things that he doesn't know what conditions to put forward.
After thinking for five or six seconds, he replied in a deep voice, "Thunderbolt and the means of using magic tools..."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but roll his eyes, "How dare you make an offer!"
