Chapter 895: Chapter 715: Metal Insect Catastrophe

"Do you know what this is?"

Emperor Xuanwu, observing Qin An’s expression, sensed that the matter was not simple, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

Sitting in his position, he could keenly capture any subtle changes in people, thus he could also judge from Qin An’s current expression that Qin An seemed to know something about this insect.

At this extremely critical moment, many people had fallen into famine because of this insect catastrophe.

Emperor Xuanwu decided not to waste time and directly asked the question.

Upon hearing this question, Qin An came back to his senses.

He gazed intently at the pile of insect corpses in front of him, picked one up with his finger, and examined it carefully.

"A precise mechanical structure, and inside, there is extremely rare spiritual energy, this thing should be man-made."

If it were someone else, they might not recognize the origin of these things. After all, these creatures were covered with a metallic sheen, a metal never before seen in this world.

Moreover, whether it was its joints or other parts, they were connected to precise machinery, making it look like a sophisticated robot rather than any type of creature.

But for Qin An, he could recognize the source of this thing.

It’s not that he knew who made this thing, but because it wasn’t something rare in his past life.

Machinery is unfamiliar here, but to Qin An, it is familiar.

Upon hearing Qin An’s words, Emperor Xuanwu frowned tightly, "Just now, you mentioned the word ’mechanical’. What does this so-called ’mechanical’ mean?"

This was a new term, so even Emperor Xuanwu couldn’t figure out what it meant.

But Qin An was present, so he asked directly without any reservation.

Qin An came back to his senses, placed the insect’s corpse on the table, and then slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, you can understand mechanical as a mechanism. The unknown enemy created these insects through the combination of such things."

"Moreover, the so-called mechanical does not belong to our world. At least in my view, the sudden appearance of such things that do not belong to our world suggests that the origin of the opponent must be significant, perhaps even grand."

With these words, the room fell into silence.

Emperor Xuanwu fell into deep contemplation and did not speak for a long time.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin An once again examined the insects’ corpses on the table, the shock in his eyes growing more evident.

If earlier he had just a hypothesis, now he could be certain.

Such a sophisticated structure could not have been created by anyone skilled in mechanisms in the Daqian Kingdom.

The opponent not only came from another world but also possessed unimaginable power.

Emperor Xuanwu finally emerged from his thoughts, saying in a serious tone, "If what you say is true, the opponent is likely from under the command of a Heavenly Demon, and their strength should not be underestimated."

Qin An nodded: "Exactly, coming from another world, and causing such a large commotion and so many disasters upon arrival, it certainly has something to do with the Heavenly Demon."

Lightly tapping the tabletop with his fingers, Emperor Xuanwu asked again: "In such a short time, most of the Daqian Kingdom’s places yielded nothing. The opponent’s goal might be to start at the grassroots."

"I understand now, I finally see what they intend to do! They want to leave the lower classes without enough to eat, so after the foundation is completely destroyed, the entire Daqian Kingdom will collapse like a high-rise building without a foundation."

"No one will be able to save it! Fortunately, we discovered this early, or it would have resulted in disaster."

Hearing Emperor Xuanwu’s analysis, Qin An nodded secretly, agreeing with his conclusion.

If the current Daqian Kingdom were likened to a towering high-rise, the foundation would indeed be the ordinary people.

They are the cornerstone of the Daqian Kingdom.

If these people died of starvation, the foundation of the Daqian Kingdom would break in an instant.

If a high-rise loses its foundation, even if it manages not to fall for a while with its remaining strength, it won’t last long and will eventually collapse.

Thus, the most important task now is figuring out how to solve this disaster.

With this thought, Qin An asked: "Your Majesty, have you not sought a solution?"

Having reached this point in the conversation, now that they knew the cause, it was time to consider how to resolve it.

Emperor Xuanwu picked up a document nearby and handed it to Qin An, shaking his head slightly.

"Take a look first. I initially thought to send a group of experts in governance to eliminate this inexplicable disaster, but now it seems, not only must skilled governors be sent, but also some experts need to accompany them."

If it were just an ordinary disaster, Emperor Xuanwu would indeed employ such a method.

But now, it seems this was no ordinary disaster management task.

This matter involves the Heavenly Demon, so Emperor Xuanwu needed to make some adjustments in personnel arrangements.

"Qin An, this task may require your assistance. You have successfully exited your retreat, haven’t you? Now, I need manpower and help, and at this moment, you’ve just come out of retreat. Perhaps I can get appropriate assistance from you."

Emperor Xuanwu spoke in a deep voice.

Qin An pondered for a moment and nodded, "I have ended my retreat. I have now reached the Heavenly Human Realm, and can rest for a while. Your Majesty, do you want me to find the root of the disaster?"
