Shen Lang was silent for a moment and then nodded. "Got it."
Jiang Li said, "You actually need this kind of low-level spiritual comfort before the final battle. Are you sure you're ready?"
"See you in half a month!" Shen Lang said.
"Goodbye!" Jiang Li's face disappeared from the sky.
… …
Shen Lang once again flew above the Fury Tide City. And then … he saw a magnificent city.
This was definitely the most beautiful city in the world, whether it was in this world or on Earth.
After three times of destruction and three times of reconstruction, the Fury Tide City had finally become a true pearl of the sea. It finally had the right to become the capital of an empire. Also, its name had been officially changed to Fury City.
Of course, the name change had been announced decades ago. Until today, it had been changed to Fury City in all official documents.
The entire Leizhou Island was more than 5,000 square kilometers, and there were ancient buildings everywhere the eye could see.
Countless terraced fields, countless pastures, countless gardens, and even countless forests were built on the mountain-like houses, layer upon layer.
The entire city was filled with green trees, flowers, and flowing water.
Every street was spotless, wide, and clean. None of the buildings were fancy, and they were filled with the beauty of nature and art.
Even the color of the dome had changed completely. It had been faint white before, but now it was completely transparent. It was trying to dilute its existence. Otherwise, just looking up at the energy dome would make one feel suppressed, as though they were imprisoned.
Now, the energy dome was so transparent that it was almost invisible. The people inside couldn't even feel the dome's existence when they looked up.
Was the population of the Fury Tide City really this high? Shen Lang estimated that there were at least a million people here, maybe even more.
He had been meditating in the ancient prison for five years, but even in these five years, he couldn't have produced so many people. The population of Mo Jing plus the abyssal fissure wouldn't exceed 500,000.
Shen Lang rode the giant dragon into the energy shield and landed in the brand new Great Qian Palace.
The Great Qian Palace was not big, only about two thousand acres. It was filled with classical beauty.
After seeing Shen Lang, Zuo Ci, Zhu Hongxue, Princess Ji Xuan, Shelley, and the other loyal subjects of the Empire were slightly surprised at first, but then they were overjoyed!
… …
"It took a total of three years for us to completely build the entire Nujing City and produce enough nuclear power cores."
"Not only that, we have completely abandoned the old metal hydrogen energy core and have adopted a completely new energy distribution system. Of course, the metallic hydrogen energy core still has its uses. As a backup energy source, in case the nuclear power core malfunctions, the energy stored in them can be used as a replacement. "
"By the way, I have to tell you that your son, the vice-chancellor of Imperial University, Gregory, has already begun a brand new research, a groundbreaking research, the Crystal Brain. This is a very fast computing device, mainly made of Dragon Crystal, Secret Gold, and Dragon Blood Marrow. At present, the research has reached the second generation, and it has been used in the energy distribution system. It can precisely control the energy required by each building. "
When Shen Lang heard this, he couldn't close his mouth anymore. Did I … did I give birth to such a genius son?
Shouldn't his name not be Gregory, but Einstein Turing?
Not only did this son complete the creation of nuclear and hydrogen bombs, but he was also preparing to research computers? The father of modern computers on Earth was the British mathematician Turing. He had already invented the most primitive computer in the 1940s.
Princess Ning Han was reading the documents while talking to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang was holding a little girl in his arms. This was his youngest daughter, only a little over four years old, born to Ning Han.
This was a very, very beautiful little girl, just like her mother, and she was very gluttonous.
Normally, at the age of four, her milk fat should have disappeared long ago, but this little girl was still chubby and heavy in his arms. She was holding a piece of cake in her left hand and a fruit in her right hand, and she was nibbling on them as if there was no one else around.
This was the first time Shen Lang saw her. She was wearing a little princess dress designed by Princess Shen Mi, and she sat on Shen Lang's lap leisurely, not at all shy with strangers.
"Baby!" Shen Lang said.
"Daddy …" The little girl raised her head and grinned at Shen Lang with her chubby little face.
"Can I have a bite?" Shen Lang asked.
The little girl said, "Daddy, the cake is already stained with my saliva. Do you really want to eat it?"
Huh?!
The little girl stuffed the other half of the cake into Shen Lang's mouth and said, "Stupid, the other half has no saliva."
Then, the little girl giggled, not at all like her mother, Ning Han, who was cold and arrogant.
Shen Lang said, "Ning Han, are you just going to let her eat like this? Isn't it a little overweight? "
Ning Han said, "What's wrong with it? Isn't it good to be a fat princess? Does she want to be like me? I've never had an easy time since I was born. It's good to be carefree for the rest of my life. "
Shen Lang lowered his head and looked at the little baby. His big eyes were filled with intelligence. How was he heartless?
"But, baby is already more than four years old. It's not good to not even have a name, right?" Shen Lang said.
Ning Han said, "It's good. It's good to have a nickname."
That's right. Shen Lang's youngest daughter had not had an official name until now. Others had been calling her Nannan.
"She still has to have a name." Shen Lang said.
Ning Han said, "Then call her Shen Nannan."
Huh?! Wasn't it too casual?
Ning Han said, "The more casual the name, the happier the life."
She didn't know where this fallacy came from.
The little girl didn't care at all. She also thought that the name Nannan was very good. After Ning Han gave birth to her, she was basically left to fend for herself. She was too tired in this life, so she wanted her daughter to live a life without any burden.
Suddenly, the little girl's chubby body wriggled and wanted to get down.
"Sister, sister …"
Then, the little girl went straight to the ground and ran out of the door like a duckling. She slammed into the arms of a woman. It was Princess Shen Mi and Princess Yaoyao.
The little girl threw herself into the arms of Princess Shen Mi, then pouted her mouth that was stained with cake and kissed Yaoyao's face.
After five years, Princess Shen Mi seemed to have grown up a little, but Yaoyao still hadn't changed. She still looked sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Dad!"
The two daughters looked at Shen Lang sweetly.
"Hey!"
Seeing that the two sisters had come, the little girl Shen Nannan stopped eating. The three of them lay on the ground and read an album. Yaoyao accompanied her to read, and Shen Mi rubbed her bulging belly. She ate a little too much.
"Dad, I have become an associate professor at the Imperial University." Shen Mi said proudly, "Sister Yaoyao has become a writer. Her books are popular throughout the Empire, not only in Nujing, but there are also countless readers there."
Shen Lang already knew because there were several works by Yaoyao on the bookshelf at Ning Han's house. And he had seen it. Yaoyao's works were really from the age of three to the peak of scientific civilization. According to the design of Gregory's team, this Crystal Brain could be upgraded almost every year in the future.
And there was one thing. The computers on Earth in the 1950s were still very huge. But the Crystal Brain in front of him was only less than one cubic meter. Comparatively speaking, it was already very advanced.
This son was really something to be proud of.
"Gregory, you really make me proud. But don't you think you should get married?" Shen Lang said, "You are already thirty-five years old. Your father, I, got married when I was nineteen."
Gregory said, "I really don't have time to waste on marriage."
Uh? You are awesome! You can't even set aside the time to get married.
And in the five years that Shen Lang was away, Yaoyao and Shen Mi missed him very much. They felt that these five years were very long. And this Gregory had no concept of five years because his whole body and mind were devoted to his own research.
Shen Lang said, "But you need to pass on your genius. Our Empire's scientific civilization and ancient civilization don't need a hundred years of development, but hundreds or thousands of years."
Gregory said, "Actually, the probability of my descendants having a high IQ is not very high."
Shen Lang said, "Then keep having children. What if I give birth to a child as smart as you?
Gregory was silent for a moment and said, "Then, then I'll think about it and start researching genetics. This will help me find the most suitable wife."
When he said suitable, it was definitely intelligence, not beauty.
"Then I can't sleep more than three and a half hours a day." Gregory said to himself, "I have to spend at least an hour researching genetics."
Shen Lang was stunned again. Then what are you going to do with the remaining 19.5 hours?
Gregory was now focusing on the research of two subjects. One was the Crystal Brain, and the other was solar fusion.
As he spoke, Gregory was once again immersed in his own world. The pen in his hand kept writing and drawing because he was redesigning the structure of the Crystal Brain. Then, he quickly entered a state of complete oblivion.
And Shen Lang had been standing behind him and watching, but he didn't say anything.
After more than an hour, Gregory instinctively reached out and wanted to pick up a cup of coffee to drink.
Shen Lang hurriedly handed him a cup of strong coffee.
"Oh, thank you," Gregory said and instinctively looked up at Shen Lang.
Then, he was shocked. Why was it not his assistant, but his father?
Oh, he remembered. His father had come to talk to him just now. He thought that Shen Lang had already left.
At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo Ci appeared outside the door.
Shen Lang wanted to bid farewell but found that Gregory had entered a state of complete oblivion again.
Forget it, there's no need to bid farewell. Shen Lang immediately left.
At this moment, Gregory raised his head and said, "Father, I am very happy that you have returned. I am also very happy that you have come to see me."
Shen Lang smiled and walked out the door.
"Your Majesty, there is a guest from the Jiang Imperial Capital," Zuo Ci said.
Shen Lang was stunned. A guest from the Jiang Imperial Capital? Who?
… …
The Jiang Empire's crown prince, Jiang Mie, appeared in the study of the Da Qian Palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Shen Lang," Crown Prince Jiang Mie said.
He had actually come. As the Crown Prince of the Jiang Li Empire, he should be the greatest enemy of the Great Qian Empire. Why had he entered the Nu Tiao City so suddenly?
"Is there a problem?" Shen Lang asked.
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "Yes, there is a problem."
"Please take a seat," Shen Lang said.
Then, the two of them sat down.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang should know that the Nu Tiao City has been expanding for the past few years and we have done nothing to stop it. In fact, many people have fled to the Nu Tiao City and we have not stopped them either." Jiang Mie said, "Recently, the Minister of the Nu Tiao City has been discussing whether to build the second domed city of the Great Qian Empire, the Nu Jiang Commandery. We have already issued a decree and the Jiang Empire will not stop you either. You can build a city in the Nu Jiang Commandery or build a second energy shield. "
Shen Lang said, "Many thanks."
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "There is only one reason for doing this. It is to blur the distinction between the Great Qian Empire and the Jiang Empire. After all, in the records of the Jiang Empire, His Majesty Shen Lang is still the Emperor. His Majesty Jiang Li has never ascended the throne or proclaimed himself Emperor. He has always been in the North Pole and has never taken a step south. "
"Yes," Shen Lang said.
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "Twelve days later, Your Majesty Shen Lang will head to the North Pole to fight His Majesty Jiang Li?"
"Yes," Shen Lang said.
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "Between you and His Majesty Jiang Li, only one of you can live?"
Shen Lang said, "Yes!"
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "You also know that when I was in the Imperial Capital, I always appeared as Shen Ye. So if you die in the North Pole battle, everything will be over. Not only the Imperial Capital, but the Nu Tiao City will also have to announce your death. Of course … we will give you the highest honor and announce that you died to save the world. You will become the Great Ancestor of the Empire. In the future, be it gold coins, pen and paper, or even the Empire's air fleet, they will all use your face as a badge. But we have to announce that you are dead, and then I will inherit the throne as Jiang Ye. "
These words were really blunt and direct.
Shen Lang looked at Crown Prince Jiang Mie and then at the book in his hands. This was Yao Yao's work.
"I said before, between me and His Majesty Jiang Li, only one of us can live." Shen Lang said, "If I lose, then the entire world will walk the path of His Majesty Jiang Li. Everything will have nothing to do with me. Whatever you want to do will have nothing to do with me."
"Alright." Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "But in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and conflicts, I feel that you still need to inform the Bureau of Military Affairs and the Bureau of Military Affairs."
"I will," Shen Lang said.
Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "Oh right, there is one more thing. His Majesty Jiang Li told me that you need mental comfort before the battle. So he asked me to send you an old friend."
Shen Lang was stunned. He really sent her over?
But at that time, Shen Lang only wanted to know the whereabouts of Mulan.
"Bring her in!" Crown Prince Jiang Mie said.
Then, two ancient human warriors carried a crystal coffin and walked in.
"I'm very sorry, but the person inside is not dead. She is just sealed in ice and hibernating. It's just that she is in a coffin." Crown Prince Jiang Mie said, "I hope that this old friend can bring you sufficient mental comfort before the battle."
"Many thanks," Shen Lang said.
"Then I won't disturb you any further. Farewell." Crown Prince Jiang Mie stood up.
"I won't send you off!" Shen Lang said.
Then, Crown Prince Jiang Mo brought his men and left the Furious Capital, leaving without a trace.
And this coffin that was filled with ice energy was placed in the study.
Shen Lang walked forward and gently opened the lid. Inside was a beautiful woman, and her eyes were open. She had already been awakened.
And this woman was … Xu Qianqian.
Shen Lang was speechless. What was His Majesty Jiang Li thinking? Before the battle, I, Shen Lang, need mental comfort, but I don't need Xu Qianqian's. What I want is Mulan.
Mulan has already gone to a place I don't know. You can also send your father-in-law, Ning Yuanxian, over here. This is the family that Shen Lang misses the most. Because his illness was the most serious, Shen Lang didn't even know if he was still alive.
"You seem very disappointed to see me?" Xu Qianqian said.
Shen Lang carefully looked at Xu Qianqian's face. This was a really strange feeling.
A few years ago, when he had just woken up, he saw a fake Xu Qianqian. The ancient Homo Evolutis had turned into Xu Qianqian, and Shen Lang had even killed her with his own hands.
And this Xu Qianqian in front of him was undoubtedly the real one, a hundred percent real. Shen Lang, who had completed the Advanced Dragon Enlightenment, could recognize her at a glance.
She was still very young and beautiful, almost exactly the same as 30 years ago. Because she had been sealed in ice all these years, her body's metabolism had also stopped, so she didn't age at all. However, the look in her eyes was a little strange, as if she had entered a very strange state.
"I'm sorry, I'm not the person you wanted to see." Xu Qianqian said again, "My appearance has disappointed you."
Shen Lang: "I should be the one apologizing. Because of me, I have caused your fate to be so wasted, and you have met with so many disasters."
Xu Qianqian was silent for a long time, then said: "If it wasn't for you, my whole family would have become skeletons. Because I have a little connection with you, my whole family has been sealed in ice, but at least they are still alive. "
From the looks of it, all the people related to Shen Lang had been sealed in ice and entered eternal slumber.
Shen Lang held Xu Qianqian's hand and walked out of the ice coffin.
However, Xu Qianqian's body temporarily couldn't move, because she had been sealed in ice for too long, and her whole body was completely stiff.
Shen Lang gently brushed his palm, and Xu Qianqian immediately recovered her warmth, and she regained her mobility. She couldn't wait to rush to the window, looked outside, and was completely mesmerized.
What a beautiful city, her eyes almost couldn't contain it. Such a city really made her eyes greedy.
Everything was too beautiful! She didn't say a word for half an hour.
Shen Lang: "Do you think this city is better, or the city from 30 years ago?"
"Of course it's now," Xu Qianqian said.
Shen Lang: "Don't you miss Xuanwu City from 35 years ago?"
"I miss it." Xu Qianqian said: "But do you want to reject something better because of this?"
Shen Lang exclaimed, "This thirty-odd years of being sealed in ice? How did you live? "
Xu Qianqian said: "I don't know about others, but I … it was like I fell into a long sleep, but I could feel the passage of time. My mind was still repeating one dream after another, but I couldn't wake up. It was like I lost my body, like I was trapped in a nightmare, and I couldn't break free."
It was actually … like this?
Xu Qianqian said again: "Shen Lang, I'm sorry again. If Jin Mulan didn't return to your side, they sent me back. I'm sorry, I let you down."
"Don't say that."
Xu Qianqian said: "Although I woke up not long ago, and I didn't hear much. But you are going to the final battle soon, right? "
Shen Lang: "Yes!"
Xu Qianqian said: "And the opponent of the final battle is the culprit who destroyed this world. Is he strong?"
Shen Lang: "He controls the power of half the world, and is about a million times stronger than me."
Xu Qianqian said: "Then this final battle seems very pessimistic."
Finally, she reluctantly retracted her gaze and returned to the study room to sit down.
"Shen Lang, do you still remember many years ago, I was infected with a serious illness, and I was about to die, but in the end, I married a piece of trash like you into my family." Xu Qianqian said: "In the end, I actually recovered. Why do you think this is?"
How could Shen Lang know why? This happened before he transmigrated, and he didn't specifically look into it because he never cared about Xu Qianqian's life or death.
Xu Qianqian said: "No matter what, it seems that it was useful to marry you into my family."
Shen Lang was speechless. If you insist on saying that, there is nothing I can do.
Xu Qianqian said: "In about ten days, you will have the final battle with that demon. It sounds like there is no chance of survival."
Can you not be so vicious? Speak properly.
Xu Qianqian said: "Although I don't have much weight, I am insignificant in your eyes. Just like you, the piece of trash, in my eyes, you are also insignificant. But when I married you into my family, I actually recovered. Then how about I help you now, even if it is a slightly better omen, maybe with a little bit of my help, you can come back alive after the final battle? "
As she spoke, Xu Qianqian's tears fell.
Shen Lang: "There is no need for this …"
"Yes …" Xu Qianqian shouted loudly: "Yes, you must!"
Then, she looked at Shen Lang and said quietly, "Marriage is very effective in reducing happiness. There is no need for any real relationship, a simple ceremony is enough. "
At least at this moment, Xu Qianqian's eyes and expression were obviously abnormal. Her mental state was very unstable.
But this was normal, because she had been tortured by the dream for more than thirty years in the frozen sleep.
"Don't I even have the right to help you?" Xu Qianqian said: "I asked you to marry into my family to help you, and now I help you. This is very fair, right? If it works, when you come back alive after the final battle, you can divorce me. "
Shen Lang closed his eyes to feel Xu Qianqian's soul.
It was really fragmented.
Once again, he went deep into her brain and immediately felt countless nightmares. The countless nightmares left her mind full of scars.
In the past thirty years of frozen sleep, she had at least tens of thousands of nightmares.
She was only half a step away from a mental breakdown, from complete insanity.
Like a gem, it looked intact on the surface, but there were countless cracks on the inside, and it could shatter with the slightest touch.
Shen Lang had implicated her, causing her to suffer for several lifetimes.
He stepped forward and put his hand on Xu Qianqian's head, gently releasing warm and gentle energy.
He tried to calm Xu Qianqian down, trying to heal the countless wounds in her mind.
"You should sleep well, not in the frozen sleep, but in a natural sleep. Maybe there will be dreams, but maybe they will be sweet dreams." Shen Lang said: "When you wake up, I will take you as my concubine and give you a wedding."
"No … it's to boost your happiness, it's to boost your happiness …" Xu Qianqian said in a trembling voice, "I'll boost your happiness. Maybe you'll be able to come back alive after the final battle. Although this kind of thing is very mysterious, sometimes … people have no choice but to believe it."
Shen Lang nodded: "Okay, as long as you are willing, you can take it as happiness! Now, have a good sleep. "
Xu Qianqian looked at Shen Lang for a while. She wanted to say something, but she didn't.
Then, she curled up on the sofa in the study and fell into a deep sleep. This time, she fell asleep naturally. Although she had slept for decades, this might be the first time she fell asleep.
Shen Lang was extremely glad that his daughter, Shen Mi, did not have such an experience. She was not as strong as Xu Qianqian.
… …
Xu Qianqian slept for five days and five nights.
After she woke up!
Shen Lang really gave her a wedding. It was a simple, solemn and festive ceremony.
The Emperor of the Da Qian Empire officially married Xu Qianqian as his concubine.
… …
