As the leader of the Tokyo District, the Holy Emperor rashly went to such a place...
It really creates problems for the military responsible for security.
Thinking of this, the secretary quickly sent a message to someone.
A few minutes later, a handsome man wearing glasses knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, I heard that you are going to the first outpost of the restricted area?"
"Yes."
The Holy Emperor had already changed into a set of casual clothes that were convenient for movement, and turned to look at the uninvited man.
Bao Xie Zhuo Ren was nominally her captain of guards, but she disliked him because he was too aggressive.
Bao Xie Zhu Ren pushed up his glasses and said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"In that case, as your highness's guard, I will definitely protect your safety."
In other words, he would also follow the Holy Emperor to the first outpost.
"...Okay, I'll leave it to the guards then."
Although he felt a little annoyed, the Holy Emperor still nodded calmly.
Given her status, it would be unusual for her to go out without a guard.
Baoxie Zhuoren was delighted to hear this, as he had been coveting the beauty of the Holy Emperor for a long time, and this was a chance for him to show himself.
Meanwhile, at the first outpost.
"Someone important is coming to see me?"
After Su Ye submitted the materials, he wanted to find a place to return to Terraria, but he was stopped by several staff members of Sima Heavy Industries.
"That's right, sir."
The male employee who was wearing a technician's robe and looked like an engineer spoke sincerely.
"The honeycomb structure samples and biological tissues you submitted attracted the attention of the higher-ups."
"So a senior person is rushing to the scene and wants to ask you in detail about your experience."
"Oh... you can."
Su Ye held down the head of Yanzhu, who couldn't wait to go back for dinner, and said casually.
“But it costs extra.”
"This……"
The engineer was a little speechless. He didn't expect the policeman in front of him to be so straightforward.
But this is not something he can decide.
Fortunately, the sudden sound of a propeller coming from outside saved him.
"It seems that the big shot has arrived."
Su Ye took Yanzhu's little hand and walked out the door.
"Let me see who it is... huh?"
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a paper fan with the scent of ink was handed to him and placed against his chin.
"He is indeed a handsome man, not bad, he is my type."
Although they were in a restricted area, the girl, still wearing a retro kimono, looked at Su Ye with a very satisfied expression.
"I heard you have the ability to explore the hive?"
Sima Miori, the daughter of the president of Sima Heavy Industries and the actual person in charge of the Tokyo regional headquarters, said so.
"In that case...are you interested in working for me?"
A few minutes later.
The Holy Emperor, who was sitting in the helicopter, connected to the first outpost with a confused look on his face.
"What? The person I wanted to see was taken away?!".
Chapter 67: The Legacy of the Shadow King
The aroma of tea filled the air in Sima Heavy Industry's president's reception room.
"This is the top-grade tea left over from before the Great War of the Protocolonis. I wonder if it suits your taste."
Sima Weizhi picked up the teacup, blew away the hot air a few times, and looked up at Su Ye opposite her.
Such an action is very appropriate for the president's daughter who has an ancient style.
"Rather than drinking tea, I would rather go home and enjoy a long-lost hot bath and hot food."
Su Ye ignored her and sat lazily on the sofa with his hands in his pockets.
He had gained a lot from this exploration and was in a hurry to go back to count his gains, but he didn't have time to play house with the other party here.
But considering the results of the [Identification]...
Let's first listen to what the president's daughter wants to do.
"If you want to take a shower, there's a bathroom in my private office."
Sima Weizhi didn't care about Su Ye's attitude. She pointed at him with an appreciative smile on her face.
"Or... do you need a back scrub?"
Yanzhu on the side secretly glanced at Sima Weizhi, and his eyes lingered on the latter's chest for a moment.
Alas, another opponent on the same level as Kisara.
It seems that my brother really prefers girls with big breasts.
"Let's speak frankly."
Su Ye yawned and decided not to waste any more time.
"You went to so much trouble to bring me back from the First Outpost. What do you want to know from me?"
"Hehe...Originally I was just interested in the information you might know."
Sima Weizi put down the teacup, stood up, walked to Su Ye, and paced back and forth.
"Now, I'm more interested in you."
"We were able to get out of the restricted area 120 kilometers away unscathed, and even brought back the structural fragments of the hive from the overwhelming suicide attacks of the wasp-like protogasters."
"The person who accomplished this feat is actually someone who is about my age - I'm curious about how you did it."
"It's very simple."
Hearing this question, Sue shrugged.
"Just as Miss Miori has been at the top of the social class since birth, I just have the same starting point as you in some areas."
This answer seemed to say nothing, but also seemed to say everything.
"You're really good at talking. We really are the same type of people who get along very well."
Sima Weizi walked behind Su Ye, leaned down and spoke in his ear.
"I'm a little reluctant to let you go."
Su Ye sighed, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said.
"Can we get down to business now, Miss Unknown?"
"Oh, you are such a sentimentless person."
Seeing that Su Ye was a little impatient, Sima Weizi decided to stop and snapped his fingers.
Then the light in the room dimmed, and a very familiar scene to Su Ye was projected on the wall.
"Whether it is the government or Sima Heavy Industry, the ultimate goal is to solve the impact of beehives."
"According to your speculation, with the expansion speed of the hive, how long will it take for those wasp-like protogastric animals to spread to the periphery of the monolith?"
The hive has been expanding, and this has been observed from the beginning.
The only thing that is uncertain is the speed of expansion.
Because no one has ever been able to get close to a hive filled with so many wasp-like protogasters.
Especially as time goes by, the number of such protogastric animals increases, making it more difficult to explore them in depth.
"At the latest... three weeks."
Su Ye answered without hesitation.
During this time, he also thought about this issue.
"Three weeks..."
Hearing this time, the calmness on Sima Weizhi's face gradually turned into solemnity.
This time is more radical than what the experts in the industry say...but it's also the number closest to the truth.
"You should have thought about the consequences of this."
"Well... a monolith that's only 1.6 kilometers tall can't stop those wasps."
Su Ye said in a calm tone.
"At that time, an aerial army of countless wasp-like protogastric animals will fly over the monolith and invade the city."
"According to the history of the establishment of the Tokyo District... this will be an unprecedentedly tragic doomsday."
"...It's really terrible, such a result."
Sima Weizhi frowned, and when she saw that Su Ye was unmoved, she relaxed.
"Looking at your confident expression, there should be a way to deal with it besides running away, right?"
"Hehe... Miss Miori thinks so."
Su Ye chuckled and gave an example.
"If millions of people in this city were about to be wiped out and you had a button that you could press to save them, what would you do?"
As a shrewd businessman, Sima Weizhi reacted quickly.
"I will... raise the price."
"Su Ye, you mean you have the button in your hand, right?"
"Do not."
Su Ye shook his head without comment.
“I am the button myself.”
"Let's talk about cooperation next...Ms. Miori."
After returning to Terraria, Su Ye let out a long sigh and looked around.
He had done a lot this week, including making some major renovations to his base in Terraria.
The original matchbox cabin has now been expanded into a high-tech metal building complex.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the materials of these buildings are exactly the same as those of the Garden Laboratory that Su Ye once explored.
The material used for construction, "Laboratory Plating", can be easily crafted using only iron ingots and any stone blocks.
After Orario acquired a large amount of iron ore, it no longer had to worry about iron shortage.
Su Ye was so generous that he decorated his entire house with laboratory-plated plates.
These laboratory plated plates can also be used to make some laboratory facilities just like wood.
For example, holographic projectors, consoles, display cabinets and automatic doors, etc.
Su Ye walked into his workshop. The originally messy workstation was now neatly arranged according to function.
In the corresponding glass display case, there are all types of minerals that Su Ye has collected so far.
From the lowest level copper mines to iron mines, silver mines, gold mines...
