Cocolia stood up and invited everyone to sit down, then looked at her daughters. "Xing, Xi'er, Bronya, please go get some more refreshments." "Got it, Mom." The girls left, and several people sat around the fireplace as arranged by Cocolia. Liu Bai and Rosalin sat next to Cocolia and Tesla, while Kafka and Peruvian sat on the edge. "Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Frederica Nikola Tesla." "Hmm..." Tesla made a somewhat indifferent nasal sound and stretched out his hand towards Liu Bai. "You must be Liu Bai, right? I know you. No need for a lengthy self-introduction." It was a bit impolite, but Cocolia smiled in her heart - this was completely different from the attitude Tesla had shown before. "Then let's get straight to the point?" Liu Bai also liked this direct style. It's best to skip the hypocrisy and politeness and get straight to the point. "Okay, let's talk about the Herrscher first." Tesla straightened his collar. "After the Herrscher suffered a blow, all of them went into a dormant state. You have a lot of cores in your hands, right? Do you plan to handle the next step by yourself, or do you plan to handle it together?"

"Only myself, no, I can't say it's just me, but I have the help of the World Serpent." The Ruler is one of them now, but Liu Bai and Tesla really lack a foundation of trust, so they can't talk about this matter directly. "You really don't need us?" Tesla didn't seem to expect Liu Bai to give such an answer. "Is it inconvenient to move around in some places of Anti-Entropy?" Liu Bai gave an answer that sounded reasonable but was actually ambiguous. "Don't make it sound like we were turned into an underground organization by Destiny." Tesla was not fooled. "Don't you trust us? We will do our best to assist you with the Lawgiver matter." Tesla couldn't understand why Liu Bai would reject such a proposal that had no disadvantages but only benefits. "Can I understand it that way? After all, there isn't much contact." "...You guy." Tesla gritted his teeth. "Well, forget it. If that's what you say, then it's up to you. But we will continue to fight against the Ruler." "Well... wait, cooperation is not impossible." Liu Bai looked at Tesla who was sulking, and suddenly changed his mind. "Huh?" Tesla frowned. "Are you kidding me?" "No, seriously, since trust is insufficient, shouldn't we build it?" "Forehead……" Tesla, who was about to get angry, was stunned by the unexpectedly direct words. "That's right. Since there is a lack of trust, then we should build trust." Tesla nodded speechlessly. This is the truth, but it is not easy to do. "How do you think we can build trust between us?" "It's nothing more than helping each other - for example, is there anything you Anti-Entropy can do that I can help you with?"

"This..." Tesla fell into thought. Reverse Entropy is actually quite stable. Although it is inferior to Destiny overall, fortunately, nothing too bad has happened to the family. For a moment, based on the abilities demonstrated by Liu Bai, Tesla really didn't know how this person could help - there were many difficulties in scientific research, but this person was obviously not a talent in scientific research. Tesla glanced at Cocolia. Give me some suggestions. "You and Jizi talked about the end of the world, right?" Cocolia said after a brief thought, "Because of this matter, our executives even held an internal discussion meeting." People talk about the end of the world every year - don't underestimate the diversity of human species. Normally, everyone would regard these words as the crazy talk of a lunatic or someone with ulterior motives, but... what the alien Liu Bai said was not on the same level of persuasiveness. Especially after Liu Bai arrived, he has been trying to reduce casualties as much as possible and mediating various issues. He has been doing all the good things. It seems untenable to say that the aliens have ulterior motives. Who is helping others to unite with ulterior motives? "I did, but what I already know is similar to what Ji Zi said. I won't get any deeper if I go deeper." Liu Bai nodded. Those who were unaware of the situation, such as Rosalin and Perewilli, all looked puzzled. "It's the end of the world, why didn't anyone tell me?" Tesla looked surprised. "Because of insufficient intelligence." Cocolia explained, "Based on the information Ji Zi relayed, we can't infer any information. If it weren't for what Mr. Liu Bai has been doing, we would actually be more inclined to the 'alien invasion' strategy." After talking to Tesla, Kokolia looked at Liu Bai and said, "We don't have anything that absolutely requires you at the moment. What about you? Is there anything you need from us? Or is there anything we can cooperate with?" "..." This is really a good kick. This actually means there is no way to ask Liu Bai to get the core directly. Anti-entropy... Since Cocolia didn't cause any trouble, Liu Bai felt that there was nothing he needed to do in Anti-Entropy. Uh... this is a bit awkward. It seems like there are no necessary requirements between each other? "How about helping to analyze the alien technology?" Liu Bai thought for a moment and said. We still have to find something for these people to do. Aren’t there some offers that scientists cannot refuse? "I have a damaged alien armor here. The technological level... is quite high compared to here. The original armor came from an interstellar empire with a territory of tens of thousands of light years." This statement once again shocked everyone except Kafka. "Tens of thousands of light years..." Tesla's expression was inexplicable. The distance from the Earth to the center of the Milky Way is about 25,000 light years.

“Is the unit a little lax?” “…”Should I care about this at this time? "Ahem... forget what you just said." Tesla coughed awkwardly, "Go on, go on." Since light years are used to represent area, it should refer to the longest straight-line distance of the ruling area - but even so, it is terrifying. Star Empire... "I can allow you to study this mecha as much as possible without further damaging it." Although Liuying's armor is mass-produced, it is not a common product. A common misconception is that mass production = low-end. However, in fact, mass production often represents the optimization of technology, production lines, and production methods. Compared with those extremely high-end weapons that require a whole country's efforts to make and are even still in the drawing board stage, this kind of mid-to-high-end equipment that has been mass-produced is the most useful crystallization of civilization. Of course, since Firefly's armor involves breeding, the conditions here are almost impossible to crack - but even absorbing a little bit of technology will be good for the future. Volume 1: Chapter 199 Liu Bai's destination is the bus... "...Aren't we asking you if there is anything you need our help with?" Tesla instinctively argued. It's not that I have to bring this up, but Tesla is very clear that it has been tempted. ——She didn’t care about the Interstellar Empire, but the armor of the Interstellar Empire...it could be said that it firmly poked Tesla’s G-spot. As a kid who is still in her middle school years, she couldn't refuse Liu Bai's proposal at all. But on the other hand, as an adult in his eighties, Tesla knew very well that this was not a matter that could be done simply by nodding his head. "Yes, there are places where we need your help. For example, after analyzing it, please help us copy a weakened version of the armor as much as possible." Liu Bai continued to cast bait. In fact, Liu Bai also had great expectations for this matter. Are there really huge gaps in talent between the scientists in Honkai Impact 3 and the scientists in Star Iron? I'm afraid not necessarily. The environment is the biggest problem. Interstellar and a planet in the midst of collapse are vastly different, both in terms of resources and the fields involved. Not to mention the historical and humanistic foundation. For example, college students and high school students can memorize all of Newton's theorems and formulas by heart, but if they really lose their memories and are reborn in that era, would they be able to prove some of these formulas and theorems? If we do not take into account the possible reincarnation of this world, and only calculate this civilization, it is actually just a nascent civilization. Einstein, Tesla, Planck and the scientists before them were actually "laying the foundation" rather than building a building.

If we take the Amber Calendar as a revelation, the civilization of the Milky Way, or the universe, is at least 300,000 years old. In addition, with the opening of routes by the star gods, civilizations began to connect on a large scale and share technologies - even if a few civilizations are destroyed, the entire universe is still progressing. In comparison, this place is really too difficult. -By the way, the background setting of most space-themed works is the Milky Way, but it is a fictional galaxy. For example, the basic setting of Star Iron is: [In this galaxy, there are beings called "Star Gods". They create reality, erase stars, and leave their traces in countless "worlds". You, a special traveler, will take the Starry Sky Train across the Milky Way with your companions who have inherited the will of "exploration", and move forward along the path that a certain "Star God" once took. You will explore new civilizations, meet new partners, and start new adventures between countless bizarre "worlds". All the questions you want to know will be answered among the stars. So, are you ready to start this "pioneering" journey? May this journey eventually reach the stars. 】 As for the commonly mentioned entire universe, it is equivalent to the "whole world" we say in daily life, and is a general term. Closer to home. After Liu Bai continued to throw the bait, Tesla's eyelids twitched. It’s still the same routine, they say they are asking for help, but the requests they make are things they will definitely do. ——If they really develop and release the product, how could they possibly get rid of Liu Bai and the original owner of the armor? "...What do you want?" Tesla gritted his teeth, showing a determined look as if he was ready to feed the tiger with his own body. It's impossible for pie to fall into the sky. If she really believed that good things happen for no reason, she would have been killed by the pie thrown by Otto sixty years ago. "…Hey, don't give me that expression that says I'm going to take your virginity, okay?" “Gu…you bastard…!” Tesla's eyes were filled with tears as he began to unbutton his shirt. "Don't give me that. You... um, well, although I feel you might be more valuable than the armor technology, what I want is the Herrscher core." [Tesla Favorability: 28→33] "..." Although in the eyes of the other party, it is very gratifying that this "indigenous" scientist is more valuable than the armor technology of the Interstellar Empire, but this person... Ah, I feel angry for no apparent reason, but at the same time, I don't really feel like getting angry. ...Can you do whatever you want just because you are good-looking? "The Herrscher Core." Tesla coughed awkwardly, "No problem, I'll give it to you later." Compared to what the other party provides, this contribution is nothing.

Not to mention that the core of the Ruler is originally of relatively few uses - the individual quantity is too low, not qualified as an energy source, and as a weapon material it is not even as good as some special anti-Honkai weapons. It can be said that the only acceptable use of this thing is to find the Ruler of Rule. Although I don’t know why Liu Bai specifically asked for it, there is no problem in giving it to him. She can make the decision directly. As for whether there will be a situation where the research on the armor ends with nothing to show for it... Well, Tesla admits that this situation is not zero, and it can even be said to be very high. After all, who knows what the alien technology tree is like - not to mention that it is said that the alien planet has not collapsed. But there is a saying called "analogy", being able to realize something is a gain.
