The Mechanical Research Institute of the Sea-Ao Empire was the highest institution of mechanics in the Sea-Ao Empire. It was both an official institution and had a close relationship with the Machinists Guild.
Every vice president of the Mechanical Research Institute had to be from the Machinists Guild and had a lot of say in the institute.
In the hearts of the mechanics in the Sea-Ao Empire, the Mechanical Research Institute held a very high position.
Of course, as long as some mechanics went to the White Dwarf Kingdom or other Machinery Cities in the Eastern Continent to study, their views on the Mechanical Research Institute would change drastically when they came back.
The mechanics who stayed in the Sea-Ao Empire all saw the Mechanical Research Institute as the highest institution. Under the official propaganda, many people even thought that the Mechanical Research Institute was comparable to the Machinery Hive.
In the past, when Hayashi River was in Nanluo City, he also thought that it would be a wonderful thing to be able to enter the Mechanical Research Institute to study.
However, the Mechanical Research Institute's research in the field of mechanics was deteriorating. Coupled with the interference of the government, the internal management was in chaos.
In the past century, the Mechanical Research Institute of the Sea-Ao Empire could only be considered a second-rate institution in the eyes of many mechanical masters in the White Dwarf Kingdom.
The Sea-Ao Empire was one of the four great empires in the Eastern Continent. Every aspect of the Mechanical Research Institute did not match the national power of the Sea-Ao Empire.
Now, Hayashi River looked at the information and shook his head. Look at how well it was described. Under the persuasion of the president of the Mechanical Research Institute, Mr. Cromwell responded to the call of the Emperor of Star Ao and decided to participate in the experiment to fight against the Oceanic Beast Army.
If Hayashi River did not know that Cromwell did not get along well with the Star Ao Empire and the Mechanical Research Institute, he would have believed it. This was another touching incident in the war-torn era.
As for the actual situation, Hayashi River could roughly deduce that the Sea-Ao Empire had tricked Cromwell into not revealing too much and only put him in charge of the key aspects of the research.
Later on, when the research was fruitful and Cromwell found out the truth, he flew into a rage. The claw mark at the machinery warehouse was probably because of this.
Lin Chuan tossed the document on the table. He was no longer interested in reading it. He said, "Ms. Fei Yu, why don't you explain it yourself? I'm not interested in deciphering the true meaning of the research center's documents."
Fei Yu was a little embarrassed. Everyone knew how the Institute of Mechanical Research was like.
"The Machinery Research Institute is truly the shame of the Mechanic Organization …"
The white-gowned lady also gritted her teeth. She was very clear about the actions of the Institute of Mechanical Research. She was the one who brought this information.
Fei Yu put away the documents and pondered for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, the person in charge at that time agreed to let Cromwell build a secret base there in order to appease Cromwell's anger after the progress of the mechanical warrior experimental project."
"Only the dean of the Institute of Mechanical Research at that time knew about this, but until his death, he still could not find the secret base."
"I just happened to find out how to open the secret base and what should be stored inside …"
Hayashi River and the others listened quietly. The three of them were very curious about the secret base.
According to Fei Yu's investigation, after the battle with the oceanic beast army, Cromwell once again went to the Foka Tower before his whereabouts were unknown.
After that, the imperial secret records of the Sea-Ao Empire recorded that at the end of the same year, Cromwell also went to the Grand Star Ao Prefecture.
This was the first time the continent's madman had set foot in the Grand Star Ao Prefecture after falling out with the Sea-Ao Empire when he was young. However, only a few people in the imperial family knew about this.
Cromwell's purpose was to hold a memorial ceremony for the deceased Emperor Xing Ao …
According to the secret records, in front of the Emperor Xing Ao's tomb, Cromwell was alone. The Nine-Star Heart Elemental Equipment was not on him. Even his mechanical arm was not on him. According to the memories of the prince who accompanied him, he was not wearing it either.
After that, Cromwell's whereabouts were unknown …
Later, when the Queen Of The Blood of the Western Continent passed away, she left behind a secretary that mentioned the secret base of the Foka Tower. There were several shocking things in it.
Among them was the key to the [Windwheel Suppressing Mist Technique] created by Cromwell …
It also contained the secret of how Cromwell could be equipped with six pieces of nine-star armor when he reached the Ninth Realm, and the secret of how he could unleash terrifying combat power beyond the Ninth Realm …
There was also the unfinished mechanical blueprint of Cromwell's life …
And a secret treasure of the Blood Spirit Clan!
"It can't be … the key to the [Windwheel Suppressing Mist Technique] …"
"Equipped with nine-star armor … the great secret of surpassing the Ninth Realm …"
Harpoon felt a suffocation in his chest, and his pale face became even paler. It was the kind of paleness that was devoid of blood.
If he could, White Bull really wanted to cover his ears and pretend that he didn't hear these secrets. These were damn secrets that could kill him!
For thousands of years, the [Windwheel Suppressing Mist Technique] had been listed as the top cultivation technique on the continent, but no one had ever perfected the key beyond the first level.
Countless warriors and mechanics wanted to explore the secrets of this technique, and they longed to become the second madman of the continent …
As for being equipped with a nine-star armor, that was a big secret that could shock the continent. If it was really exposed, not to mention the Eastern Continent, even the countries of the Western Continent would directly start a war.
That was a Nine-Star Heart Element Suit!
Even during the hundred-year war of the continent, powerhouses of the Ninth Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. It was extremely difficult to reach that level.
However, powerhouses of the Ninth Realm usually used eight-star Heart Origin Equipment. At most, they would be equipped with a nine-star Heart Origin Equipment.
This was not to say that nine-star Heart Origin Equipment was very rare …
Admittedly, nine-star Heart Origin Equipment was indeed rare, but when one reached the level of the Ninth Realm, which one of them wasn't the guardian of a kingdom?
During the chaotic era, it was not difficult to use the power of the entire kingdom to equip a nine-star armor for a powerhouse of the Ninth Realm.
Generally speaking, the Ninth Realm powerhouses of that era would be equipped with a nine-star armor as the strategic power of the kingdom.
As for being equipped with two nine-star armors, it was very rare.
It was not that it was impossible to get a second one. Although nine-star armors were called divine artifacts, those big countries still had a few.
However, to equip two of them was not something that an ordinary Ninth Realm powerhouse could do.
There was no other reason. Activating a nine-star Heart Origin Equipment was too much of a burden on the body. If one was equipped with two nine-star armors, the other Heart Origin Equipment could not be equipped.
During the hundred-year war, the reason why the Sea-Ao Empire was able to end that protracted war in the end was not because of anything else, but because they produced two Ninth Realm powerhouses who could equip more than two nine-star armors.
One of them was the famous madman of the continent, Cromwell.
The other was the emperor of the Sea-Ao Empire …
However, the latter became famous because he was equipped with a nine-star armor. At the border of the Eastern and Western Continents, he swung his sword and scared off the heroes of the Western Continent.
After that, the Star Ao Emperor passed away three years later at the age of forty-nine.
The reason for his passing was obvious to those who understood. He was overdrawn by a full set of nine-star armor …
Therefore, when people talked about equipping nine-star armor, they would always mention Cromwell.
After that shocking battle, Cromwell was alive and kicking for several years without any signs of his power declining. He was a true super powerhouse of the Ninth Realm.
"The secret of equipping nine-star armor …" Mossy Bone was also shocked.
He had always admired Cromwell. After all, even during the Dark Age, when the Redbud Army was unstoppable, there were no peerless powerhouses who could wear a full set of nine-star armor.
Back then, Mossy Bone was already one step away from the Ninth Realm. He knew very well that equipping nine-star armor was like wearing six pieces of the Psychic Force's Black Hole.
With his power at that time, even if he was equipped with a full set of nine-star armor, he would be sucked dry after using it for a minute.
Fei Yu smiled and said softly, "Yes … These secrets are too shocking, so I didn't tell Mr. Chuan at first."
"These things are really important. The mechanical blueprints left by Cromwell …"
Hayashi River muttered, a little tempted. This time, Fei Yu didn't hide anything. She even told him about the Blood Spirit Eye.
However, for him, the real attraction of these treasures was the mechanical blueprints left by Cromwell.
For Hayashi River, the key to the Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill was, at most, a confirmation.
Now, his Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill was more complete than Cromwell's in many aspects. Moreover, Hayashi River had a direction on how to deduce it in the future.
As for the secret of equipping nine-star Heart Origin Equipment, Hayashi River was even less interested. He had a good understanding of the secret of Cromwell's power.
He could also understand how the madman of the continent got his hands on a nine-star Heart Origin Equipment …
Cromwell's direction was to use the Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill as the foundation and the unique mechanical arms as the medium to create a method of energy storage that could operate the nine-star Heart Origin Equipment.
However, even if this secret was exposed, would there still be people in the world who could cultivate the Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill to the peak?
The Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill was only one aspect. On the other hand, one's own strength must reach the level of the Ninth Realm. How far away was that …
Hayashi River was sure that even if this secret was exposed to the world, in another thousand years, no one could replicate the legendary achievements of the madman of the continent.
Therefore, compared to these, Hayashi River was more interested in Cromwell's mechanical blueprints.
Of course, the Blood Spirit Eye was also necessary. It was the key to break through the next level of the Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill …
Thinking of this, Hayashi River looked at Fei Yu and said, "After saying so much, Miss Fei Yu, did you find anything after entering the secret base? Is there a place that I can't enter and need to crack the password lock? Or crack the mechanical defense device? "
Hearing this, Fei Yu could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Actually … when I entered the secret base, I quickly circled around and found that it was empty except for some mechanical instruments. However, I'm sure that those things were taken away by someone else … "
As she spoke, Fei Yu took out a few photos that she had taken quickly …
Lin Chuan was very surprised when he saw these pictures. The secret base looked as if it had been robbed. It had been emptied, and only an empty shell was left.
"Miss Fei Yu, how long ago do you think someone entered that place?" Hayashi River asked.
"According to the detection of the instruments, it was about a hundred years ago … However, from the signs, there were traces of people living even earlier …"
Pointing at the photos, Fei Yu concluded.
She was very sure of this deduction because this was the result of the analysis of her intelligence team.
"Oh …"
Hayashi River's expression changed, thinking that this was right. This way, the time was right.
"Then … Miss Fei Yu, I have some ideas. However, before that, let's talk about the payment for this deal … "Hayashi River said.
"You have an idea …"
Fei Yu was stunned and then gritted her teeth. Talking about a deal again? Was she going to be ruthlessly ripped off by this young man again?
