Tan Xiu thought for a moment, then took out his phone and said, "There's no hard and fast requirement for the specific number. The secret base in the country needs a large number of researchers, so the more the better. Remember, all you need to do is to investigate all the researchers from all over the world. I'll send someone else to carry out the specifics. "
"Yes!"
Jin Shi complied and was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly recalled something. After a short hesitation, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you in a secret base in China now?"
Tan Xiu said, "Yes, I just arrived."
"Your Majesty, according to China's intelligence network investigation, two groups of foreign forces have recently infiltrated the Hetian region," said Jin Shi. Two days ago, four of our intelligence agents were killed by those two groups of people. In the end, we still lost track of them. According to the direction in which they disappeared, they should be heading in the direction of the Taklimakan Desert. In addition, in Hetian City, we also found surveillance videos of them buying daily necessities. They should be preparing to go deep into the desert. "
Tan Xiu asked, "Are you saying that they came for this secret base?"
"I can't guarantee it 100%," said Jin Shi.
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and then said, "Send me the number and characteristics of those two groups of people, as well as all the intelligence you've investigated. Also, send people to keep a close eye on the movements in the Hetian region. If they are discovered again, don't act rashly and report directly to me. "
"Yes!"
Tan Xiu hung up, looked at Duanmu Lin, and asked, "Do foreign forces often sneak into the Taklamakan Desert?"
Duanmu Lin forced a smile and said, "A total of 23 groups of people have come to the Taklamakan Desert in the past 3 years, but all of them were killed by our people. They were intelligence agents from various countries, and there was no lack of cultivators among them. In fact, no matter how secretive our base is, we still need a lot of materials, parts, and even mechanical molds. We have to buy them from overseas, so it's inevitable that we'll attract a lot of attention. "
Tan Xiu nodded without a word and said, "I'll send my intelligence personnel to keep a close eye on the movements of Huaxia and strive to capture all the spies. Just now, Jin Shi reported to me that there are two groups of people sneaking into the Hetian area, and their target should also be here. Did you send people to get rid of them? Or should I go there myself? "
Duanmu Lin thought for a moment and said, "I'll send someone over!"
Tan Xiu said, "Okay."
Soon, Zhulong left with dozens of powerful Arcanists. In order to avoid accidents, they did not bring high-tech weapons, nor did they drive those strange green vehicles. They only drove desert SUVs that were commonly seen in the outside world and quickly headed for Hetian.
In the following days, Tan Xiu toured the secret base under Duanmu Lin's guidance. Even though Tan Xiu was familiar with many of the technological products, he still felt it was interesting to see them with his own eyes.
"What is that place?"
Four to five hours later, when everyone passed by a door, Tan Xiu noticed that Duanmu Lin did not intend to take him in for a tour, so he immediately pointed there and asked.
Duanmu Lin smiled faintly and said, "That's a warehouse for storing energy crystals. There's nothing worth visiting. Up ahead is the xenogeneic plant area. Let's go. I'm sure you'll learn a lot. "
Energy crystals?
Tan Xiu was secretly startled. When Tan Xiu gave the energy crystal converter to Duanmu Lin, he secretly sent some people to empty a large number of energy crystals in the three-star vestige and even copied the method to manufacture the energy crystal converter. Over the past three years, the Empire's members on Nine Dragons Island had secretly manufactured four energy crystal converter assembly lines under Mo Yi's leadership. Each assembly line could produce nearly 100 energy crystals a day.
"Duanmu Lin."
Tang Xiu didn't have the intention to leave and even changed the way he addressed him.
Duanmu Lin's heart thumped, but he maintained his composure and said, "Don't tell me you're not interested in the xenogeneic plant area? If you're really not interested, then let's go somewhere else. "
A disappointed look flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. He shook his head and said, "What I want to remind you is that you only have two years left. I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for the rest of your life if you can't get rid of that thought within two years. "
Duanmu Lin was a bit annoyed inwardly. He was a shrewd and experienced man, so how could he not hear the threat in Tan Xiu's words? However, such a threat made him very dissatisfied and aroused his stubbornness. He lightly said, "I'm doing my job, so I must guard this place as long as I'm still here."
Tan Xiu suddenly let out a particularly bright smile and said, "I'm indeed very curious about the xenogeneic plant area. Take me there to have a look!"
Duanmu Lin watched Tan Xiu's back as he turned and left. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. If Tan Xiu insisted, he naturally wouldn't stop Tan Xiu from entering the energy crystal reserve warehouse. He would even give some energy crystals to Tan Xiu if he asked.
But …
Tan Xiu didn't insist and even showed such an expression after Duanmu Lin stubbornly stated his position. Therefore, he realized at this moment that Tan Xiu had given up on him.
He opened his mouth to express his apology, but he swallowed the words back into his stomach. It was just that deep regret was crazily breeding in his heart.
If only!
If he was given another chance, he would never refute Tan Xiu, let alone say those words just now. However, he knew Tan Xiu. Once Tan Xiu made up his mind, there was no hope for him to change his mind no matter how much he tried to explain and plead.
The Immortal World!
He really, really wanted to go there. He even wanted to live longer and become stronger. But because of his momentary impulse, he lost this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leaving him full of bitterness and bitterness.
Two days later.
Tan Xiu stayed in the base, looking at all kinds of high-tech products. He even had the urge to refine some high-tech magic tools or immortal tools.
"Ah Lang, what kind of effect do you think the close combination of immortal cultivation and science and technology will produce?" Standing in the oasis above the base, Tan Xiu asked thoughtfully.
"Immortal cultivation has its own power, and science and technology also has its own benefits," said Tang Ahlang. "The combination of the two will complement each other's strengths and naturally bring about endless benefits. However, how to combine them is still something that needs to be considered. Otherwise, it's easy to deviate and affect both sides. "
Tan Xiu nodded and looked at Tang Ahlang. "You've made great progress in just three years. You're only one step away from becoming a grown-up. "
Tang Ahlang was a bit embarrassed by Tan Xiu's praise, but there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes as he curiously asked, "What's the last step, Master?"
"You're still a boy in my eyes, not a man," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Only after experiencing the nourishment of women can you be considered a real man."
"…"
An awkward look appeared on Tang Ahlang's handsome face. He shook his head vigorously and said, "I'd rather be a boy forever than a man, Master. I'm afraid I'll end up like you. "
"What?"
Tan Xiu was dumbfounded.
Tang Ahlang grinned mischievously and said, "I've seen how powerful your wives are, Master."
Cough, cough …
Tan Xiu couldn't catch his breath and choked on his own saliva, coughing a few times. If Tang Ahlang was 10 years younger, he would really want to catch this guy's big ass.
Unexpectedly …
He dared to call him Master!
Suddenly …
Tang Xiu's expression shifted and he shifted his gaze to the distance. What surprised him was that Zhu Long and two experts from the Special Abilities Bureau were fleeing in the desert a few kilometers away, drenched in blood. More than a dozen figures moved lightning-fast behind them and were pursuing them with all their might.
"They're foreigners, Master."
Said Tang Ahlang.
"Zhu Long led his men to hunt down the two groups of people who sneaked into the desert a few days ago." Tan Xiu nodded. "I'm afraid he met some ruthless people, so he was chased so miserably."
With that said …
Tan Xiu's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhu Long in just a breath or two. Looking at the trio's distressed appearance, he asked indifferently, "What about the others you brought?"
Zhu Long and the other two finally felt relieved upon seeing Tan Xiu. Zhu Long squeezed out a smile and his lips squirmed as he said, "They're all dead. They died in the hands of those people behind us. They're very strong, Mr. Tang, much stronger than anyone who has sneaked into the desert before. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "As far as I know, there should be two groups of people. What about the other group? "
"The other group is from the Stygian Club. We just got rid of them and were intercepted by these people from Pyramid," said Zhu Long. "If it weren't for us desperately fighting them, I'm afraid we would've died outside."
"Zhu Long, go back and tell Duanmu Lin that I won't come here again from now on," said Tan Xiu. "I hope he won't look for me again. Also, I hope he won't forget the promise he made to me in the past. "
"What do you mean?"
Zhulong's face revealed a puzzled look, but he still nodded silently.
While talking …
More than a dozen experts from Pyramid had surrounded the five of them. The leader was a big man wearing a black mask and holding a long saber. He coldly stared at Tan Xiu's group and said, "It seems that the results of the investigation are correct. You're definitely plotting something in this desert. Tell me why you're here and maybe I'll spare your lives. "
Tan Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "That long saber in your hand should've been bought at the Genesis Auction in Shanghai three years ago, yes?"
"How did you know?"
The big man's complexion changed and a vigilant look appeared in his eyes.
Tan Xiu lightly smiled and said, "It's because I personally refined this long saber. You can look at the handle if you don't believe me. There's a tiny character on it. "
"Tang?"
The big man didn't look at the handle, but his finger pressed on the tiny character.
