Chapter 1336: Chapter 1336: Secrets
“This decision was also made after communication between our two clans, aiming to push forward resource integration among all clans in our galaxy, establishing a unified scientific research platform. We invite elite scientists from all clans to jointly research interstellar technology and propel technological development. Constructing a unified and powerful Warship Group. With the resources we possess, it won’t take many years to surpass others in technology. At that time, it will be our moment to sweep across everything.”
Upon hearing his words, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu remained composed on the surface, but they were both greatly shocked internally.
Resource integration? Integrating the scientific research strengths of all clans in the Dragon Horse Star System and unifying resource allocation. This is definitely the last thing the Douluo Federation would want to see happen.
Li Menglong was right; with massive resource support, if the Dragon Horse Star System truly exerted efforts in research, the speed of technological progress would undoubtedly be swift.
There are numerous clans in the Dragon Horse Star System, many of which are intelligent species, each excelling in different areas, like the Sky Domination Clan which excels in abilities related to spatial properties. If these clans could be guided to collaborate, leveraging their respective strengths and expertise, then the integration of their technologies, after some research and adjustments, could indeed produce results in a short time. That’s simply terrifying.
For the Dragon Horse Star System, this is certainly a great thing, but for the Douluo Federation, it could well be a disaster of epic proportions.
Although Lan Xuanyu was shocked, he did not show any urgency outwardly, but rather hesitantly asked: “Can this proposal be approved? Each clan has always been functioning independently, especially those large clans that have their own planets. They treasure their own technology, are they really willing to share it for unified research? How to uniformly distribute the resources among the clans is also a question. Deciding who gets the built warships and how many is also an issue. Unifying the entire galaxy for management might not be easy.”
Deng Xu Tong said, “Exactly. This indeed poses a huge problem. In fact, the idea of integrating resources was proposed many years ago. But it wasn’t successful due to strong resistance from the clans. Still, you must be aware of the recent war. We really suffered a huge loss, losing over a third of the galaxy’s fleet. If it weren’t for the Lord Dragon Knights suppressing the humans and negotiating peace, we might have lost some territory. Even so, the Douluo Federation plundered quite a bit of our resources. The Sky Domination Clan suffered severe losses, and it’s said that the small asteroid they could mine Space Source Crystals from also encountered problems. As a result, the prices of Space Source Crystals have skyrocketed. Now the Sky Domination Clan is sparing no cost to buy Space Source Crystals from us and you. Reflecting on the pain, the discussion this time should yield some results. At least in the area of joint research, it should be possible to make progress.”
Li Menglong said: “My father conveyed the same idea. Start by initiating the research and elevating the level of technology. We’ll discuss the distribution of material resources later. Without sufficiently powerful warships, our position is simply too passive.”
Lan Xuanyu said: “If that’s the case, then it’s really good news. However, until a certain level is reached, warships actually don’t mean much to our two clans.”
Li Menglong laughed and said: “Exactly! Given the strength of your Dragon Knights and our Sky Horse Knights, ordinary warships can hardly pose a threat to us. However, I don’t know why they never directly participated in the war. It seems they had some concerns. Otherwise, if the Dragon Knights and Sky Horse Knights had teamed up, even facing the human Warship Group shouldn’t be impossible to contend against. Why bother researching technology then?”
“Oh? What could those concerns be? In the galaxy, is there really anything that could pose a threat to our existence?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.
Although everyone was just casually chatting, even in this brief period of conversation, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu gained very valuable information.
The Dragon Horse Star System is looking to integrate technological research and develop a joint fleet. And these concerns just mentioned are definitely big secrets of the Dragon Horse Star System. Sending this information back to the Federation is extremely important for the federation.
Li Menglong shook his head and said, “I’m not sure about the specifics. But I’m certain there are such concerns. If I can become a Sky Horse Knight in the future, maybe I’ll be privy to it. This must be a core secret of our two clans. You also don’t know it, right?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Yes, we are not clear about it either.”
Li Menglong said, “Miss Lan, Miss Xiuxiu, could you leave a contact? It’s not often you come to Sky Horse City. If you want to visit other places later on, we could show you around as hosts.”
“Hmm.” Lan Xuanyu nodded his head, giving out his contact information, but Bai Xiuxiu didn’t have one, just smiling and saying, “My sister and I are always together, contacting her will do.”
“Alright!” Deng Xu Tong grinned at her, raising his glass in a salute.
Lan Xuanyu gave Deng Xu Tong a glance, and for some reason, Deng Xu Tong suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Li Menglong didn’t notice it and continued, “Don’t you want to know how we’re exchanging with the strong from different clans this time?”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “How else can we exchange? Through a competition maybe?”
Li Menglong laughed, “That won’t be the case. Compared to our two clans, the other clans are definitely weaker. This exchange is still below the God Rank level. However, it will be conducted in the form of arenas. There are six arenas set up, your Dragon Clan has three, and our Sky Horse Clan has three. Each arena has a champion. The strong from all clans can challenge these champions. If they succeed in the challenge, there are substantial rewards. And if the champions successfully defend the arena, they will receive the challenge fees that the challengers put up. It’s not a small amount, you know.”
“Six arenas? Who are the champions? Are we involved?” Bai Xiuxiu immediately grasped the meaning in his words.
“Of course, you are! You are the champions of the Ascending Dragon contest. You’ll likely be defending the first arena. Once all challenges are over, champions can also challenge each other to win the earnings of the other’s arena. Moreover, whoever defeats a champion automatically becomes the champion of that arena, inheriting all the challenge fees the previous champion had collected. The younger generation of all clans is truly eager for this.”
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu exchanged a glance, Lan Xuanyu said, “This challenge mode is quite imaginative. Will you participate as well?”
Li Menglong admitted shyly, “I’m not qualified yet, but Deng Xu Tong is defending the sixth arena. The second arena is defended by my senior brother.”
Lan Xuanyu’s interest peaked, “Tell me about these arenas? Should Xiuxiu and I participate together?”
Li Menglong replied, “Exactly! You are considered as one entity, so in the first arena, you are also recognized as the strongest in this round of arenas. Arenas one, three, and five belong to your Dragon Clan, while our Sky Horse Clan defends two, four, and six.”
Undoubtedly, apart from Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, the other two arenas of the Dragon Clan would be defended by Qi Tianlong and Xu Yanmo.
“The challenge fees differ from arena to arena. The first arena has the highest challenge fee, and the sixth the least. The fees are calculated in Space Source Crystals. This is the highest-grade resource of our Dragon Horse Star System.”
“Space Source Crystals? What is that?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.
“You don’t know?” Deng Xu Tong asked, puzzled.
Bai Xiuxiu candidly said, “My sister and I were originally from the Wild Dragon Clan, we only joined the Dragon Clan less than a year ago. So there are many things we don’t quite understand.”
