495: Car A instantly transforms into a flying car
Seeing the soldiers so incredibly excited, Prince An felt deeply moved. For them, this was supposed to be a battle to the death, but because of one person's appearance, they had been given a chance to survive—a sentiment that held true even for himself!
The power of the Sea Race was beyond doubt; Linhai City's current situation was purely a stroke of incredible luck!
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a lieutenant rush over, shouting, "Report!"
Qin Yuan jolted, quickly looking at him and saying, "Speak!"
"Commander, Mr. Qian asked me to relay to you that they are leaving!" the lieutenant said.
Qin Yuan was slightly stunned, but quickly recalled who the Mr. Qian the lieutenant was referring to, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Qian and his group are leaving?"
"Yes! Mr. Qian said that their plans for this trip have been completed, and now they need to head to Shanhai Pass, so they won't be staying any longer," the lieutenant replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan, Prince An, and the others all turned to look outside the city, where they saw the two convoys from Nanyue Base slowly driving away from their original positions, heading north...
"Your Highness, do we need to send people to escort them? The journey to Shanhai Pass is extremely dangerous, and there might be Sea Race members lurking along the way. It would be troublesome if something were to happen!" Qin Yuan asked anxiously.
Prince An's expression changed slightly, and he nodded. "Quickly stop them! If any problems arise on the road, I won't be able to answer to Long Yuan!"
"Yes!" Qin Yuan replied, immediately ordering several martial generals under his command to fly out and intercept the convoys.
However, just as those martial generals flew out of the city, they saw the two convoys lift off into the air, instantly accelerating with a whoosh, and in the blink of an eye, only their afterimages remained before they vanished completely!
"What?!" Everyone was stunned!
At this speed, even the fastest aircraft or the most powerful expert wouldn't be able to catch up. Since when could armored vehicles instantly turn into flying cars and fly so fast?!
What kind of miraculous convoy was this?!
Watching this scene, Prince An and Qin Yuan were completely dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was happening...
After a long while, Qin Yuan came back to his senses and asked, "Your Highness, should we still pursue them?"
A bitter smile appeared on Prince An's face, and he shook his head. "Perhaps we underestimated them. With this speed, even if they can't defeat the Sea Race, they will have no problem escaping. We don't need to worry about them anymore!"
"It's just that I don't quite understand how their armored vehicles were built. To think they can levitate and fly—could it be a new product from Tiangong Group? If we could also possess such armored vehicles, our operational efficiency would surely increase significantly..." Qin Yuan wondered suspiciously.
Prince An pondered for a moment, then simply took out his phone and called Prince Zhao, telling him about the situation.
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhao was shocked. "What? Armored vehicles instantly turning into flying cars? And the speed is so fast that even you can't catch up? Are you sure this is true?"
Prince An said, "I saw it with my own eyes, just now, right in front of me!"
"Good heavens! How could the Nanyue Base convoy perform such a miraculous feat? No, I must find out immediately!" Prince Zhao hung up the phone quickly.
Listening to the static from the phone, Prince An shook his head helplessly...
On Prince Zhao's end, he quickly inquired with the Artifact Refining department of Tiangong Group. The result, naturally, was that they had never heard of it. The division responsible for forging armored vehicles was extremely interested and planned to modify an armored vehicle according to this concept to see if they could achieve such an effect. Prince Zhao offered a few words of encouragement, then thought for a moment and called Long Yuan directly...
Soon, Long Yuan's voice came over the phone: "Uncle Zhao, it's me, Long Yuan!"
"Long Yuan, those two convoys in Linhai City were sent by you, right?" Prince Zhao asked.
"That's correct, I sent them!"
"I just heard from Prince An that your armored vehicles can not only instantly turn into flying cars but also accelerate instantly, with a speed so fast that even he can't catch up. Is this true?"
Long Yuan took a deep breath. He already knew about what had just happened. Qian Xiaosen and his group were afraid of being stopped by Prince An's men and failing to complete the mission he had entrusted to them, so they had simply accelerated and flown away. They had made a mess in public, and now he had to clean it up for them. What a hassle...
He said slowly, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle An might be exaggerating a bit. He didn't actually try to pursue them, so how does he know he couldn't catch up?"
Prince Zhao replied, "Uncle An is such a powerful expert, he naturally has his own judgment. Since he said he couldn't catch up, then he couldn't. It is clear that the speed of your convoy has exceeded his limits; there is no doubt about that!"
"Uncle An must be exaggerating! However, I have indeed been modifying some armored vehicles recently, focusing on improving their speed, so it's normal for them to show some performance in that area..." Long Yuan said.
"According to my understanding, the speed of an armored vehicle cannot be improved just like that. There are many key issues that need to be solved. Also, how did you make them instantly turn into flying cars?" Prince Zhao pressed.
"It's just adding a levitation device; it's not that complicated!"
"You call that not complicated? Armored vehicles turning into flying cars, and being able to fly faster than a Martial King—I'm afraid even those Advanced mechas can't do that?!" Prince Zhao exclaimed.
"Hehe, mechas are mechas; they are still somewhat different from armored vehicles..."
"Long Yuan, I don't care about that. I just want to ask you one thing: can this technology be sold to our Tiangong Group? I will definitely give you a satisfactory price! You must know that this is a time of war. If our Daming army could possess armored vehicles like yours, our combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly improved, and we might have a hope of defeating the Sea Race!" Prince Zhao said excitedly, wishing he could possess such armored vehicles right now.
"Uncle Zhao, it's like this: it's not that I don't want to sell, but even if I really sold the technical data to your Tiangong Group, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to build it within a hundred years. Let's just forget about it..." Long Yuan said helplessly. He knew that only by letting Prince Zhao and the others know the truth could he completely extinguish this thought.
"What? Unable to build it within a hundred years? How is that possible?!" Prince Zhao said incredulously. He didn't believe that if they had the technology, blueprints, and other materials, Tiangong Group wouldn't be able to build an armored vehicle. Ultimately, it must be that Long Yuan didn't want to sell. No, this problem must be solved. Perhaps he would have to ask his Imperial Father for help.
Long Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhao, how about this: you send a few engineers from Tiangong Group to Shanhai Pass. Our armored vehicles will be staying there for a while. At that time, let them get on the vehicles to take a look and understand, and then you can hear what they have to say, and you'll know!"
Prince Zhao thought that made sense. Hearing is believing, seeing is reality. He would send people to see the actual object. Perhaps after his Genius engineers saw it, they wouldn't even need to buy the data; they could just copy it directly, and then he could annoy Long Yuan to death!
He laughed, "Long Yuan, that's the right way to put it! Alright, I will send people over to take a look immediately. Don't worry, they'll just take a look; you don't need to worry about leaks..."
"No problem, they can look as much as they want, until they understand it!" Long Yuan also laughed.
"Good!!!"
