474: Chapter 474 Zhenjing

"Commander, inside is an unknown energy crystal," Xiao Lin quickly answered.

"Energy crystal? Like a crystals?" Oriental Chen asked.

"It's completely different from a crystals. This energy crystal does not belong to bio-energy, but it possesses an activating property similar to bio-energy. There is no record of this in the database," Xiao Lin replied.

"What about the energy density?" Oriental Chen asked.

"From the data currently monitored, its energy density is not as high as that of a crystals," Xiao Lin replied.

"For just this one item, your attitude isn't very sincere!" Oriental Chen said, looking directly at the envoy without opening it.

"Mr. Dongfang, won't you take a look?" The envoy was stunned for a moment before asking.

Oriental Chen casually lifted the lid and pushed it back.

"With just this small item, I can't see your sincerity."

"Mr. Dongfang, you might not be very clear about the value of this item. This is called a zhen crystal, an energy carrier that can store an enormous amount of energy. With it, more advanced weapons and armor can be manufactured," the envoy explained.

"zhen crystal? Just one, how much energy can it store?" Oriental Chen was skeptical.

"Haha, you may not know, but this single zhen crystal can store the total energy released by the sun in 3 seconds," the envoy said.

"What?" Oriental Chen was utterly shocked.

Although 3 seconds is a very short time, that's the sun.

How much total energy is released in 3 seconds?

It's approximately 10 to the power of 24 kilowatts.

Before the virus outbreak, the total global electricity consumption per year was roughly on the order of 10 to the power of 14 kilowatts.

The difference between the two is 10 to the power of 10 orders of magnitude, which is 10 billion times.

You can imagine the rest.

"Xiao Lin, did you hear that? What's going on?" Oriental Chen asked through his Digital Eye.

"Commander, it cannot be determined at present," Xiao Lin replied.

"How do you prove what you're saying is true?" Oriental Chen looked at the envoy.

"Sorry, I can't prove it," the envoy spread his hands.

Wearing their mechs, their expressions couldn't be seen.

"However, since it's a free gift, I don't think Mr. Dongfang will lose anything by keeping it," the envoy added.

Oriental Chen wouldn't believe his nonsense.

If this item was really that amazing, why wouldn't their Okshung Empire keep it for themselves instead of easily giving it away?

It didn't make sense logically.

But unknown things are truly tempting!

It just so happened that he was indeed encountering energy problems now.

The crystals lacked explosive power, and the nuclear-to-electricity conversion had too high a failure rate, which was very awkward.

Keep it? Or refuse it?

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

"I think you didn't just come for this one thing, did you? Let's talk about something else first," Oriental Chen said.

Okshung wouldn't simply come to apologize.

The purpose of lowering their stance was naturally to ask for something.

"Mr. Dongfang, our chieftain specifically instructed that only if you accept this gift can we discuss the subsequent matters," the envoy replied.

"Alright, I've accepted the gift, now speak," Oriental Chen said.

Can anyone be forced to accept a gift?

That's impossible.

If their conditions were too excessive, he could just throw out both the gift and the people.

"It's like this. There are the remains of our ancestors within the Olos Country, and the chieftain hopes you can return them to us," the envoy finally revealed his purpose.

"I don't quite understand. Since the remains of your ancestors are within the Olos Country, why don't you go find them, and instead come to me?" Oriental Chen pretended ignorance.

"According to our information, the location of those remains has already been controlled by you," the envoy replied.

"Oh, oh, you mean that thing in the Krastov Oblast laboratory, right?" Oriental Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

"Yes."

"There are the remains of your ancestors in there? Impossible, right? I didn't find any!" Oriental Chen deliberately played dumb.

"None? Impossible! From the information we have, there are still unopened stasis pods there!" The envoy's tone sounded a bit urgent.

Oriental Chen could tell that they weren't very certain about this information either.

"Stasis pods? So they were stasis pods! I thought those were all coffins!" Oriental Chen showed a look of sudden realization.

"It seems there really are some!" The envoy breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, there are! If I remember correctly, there should be over a dozen of them. But the lids are all open, and there's nothing inside!" Oriental Chen bluffed.

Coffins could exist, but the things dormant inside them could not.

"Open? This..., absolutely impossible!" The envoy's recently relaxed emotions tensed up again.

"What's impossible about it? According to Valetov, that spaceship wreckage has been discovered for 100 years. How high is the chance of anything surviving after being studied by countless people during these 100 years?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. According to the experimentalists we captured, there should still be 23 perfectly preserved stasis pods!" The envoy revealed his trump card.
