Chapter 966
An Extra-Thick Blanket
"Sir, are you alright?"
After his men rescued Banluo, they found that he could barely speak, so they quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Cold...so cold..."
Banluo was shivering all over, his lips were trembling from the cold, and he could only squeeze out a few words through his teeth. His condition was very serious.
"Call the doctor quickly, the adult's condition is critical."
His men quickly arranged for a doctor to be found, who prescribed some medicine and gave him ginseng soup.
"The adult's condition is very bad; he's been chilled. Give him plenty of ginseng soup and cover him up as thickly as possible so he can recover slowly."
The doctor instructed his staff to cover Banluo with an extremely thick blanket and give him ginseng soup, which finally brought him back to life.
Banluo barely escaped with his life; he almost froze to death in the sea. This is the fate he deserved.
At the crucial moment, Yang Xia was the most capable. He used this method to punish Ban Luo severely, leaving him half-dead.
Yang Xia would certainly not let such a treacherous person off easily; this was the best punishment he could receive.
Of course, that's not all. Once they have the time, they will retaliate fiercely against Spain and demand an explanation from Ruva.
Although they are not as fierce as Tanawu, they cannot be bullied for nothing.
The Great Zhou Kingdom and the Feier Kingdom are now very powerful and will not allow others to bully them.
Yang Xia decided to study the deep-sea submarine issue first, and then settle accounts with Ruwa after clarifying the important matters.
The extremely weak Banro lay on the bed. When he saw Ruwa coming, he thought that Ruwa had come to visit him. He forced his weak body to get up and wanted to greet Ruwa.
"The king...the king..."
Banluo managed to get halfway up his body when Luwa yanked him off the bed, leaving him dazed and confused.
"You good-for-nothing, more trouble than you're worth, what exactly are you trying to do? How dare you kidnap King Kanapan of the Kingdom of Phil!"
"Do you want him to help our Ivory Kingdom, or do you want him to destroy our Ivory Kingdom as well?"
Before Banro could react, Ruva launched into a tirade, wishing he could strangle the weakened Banro to death. This foolish fellow nearly made Ruva faint with rage.
Ruva had no idea that Banro had taken it upon himself to kidnap Kanapan to the Ivory Country, and that he had failed.
What a foolish idea! He had no idea what Banro was thinking. Even if they managed to kidnap Kanapan to Ivory Coast, the other side would never submit to them.
The Kingdom of Phil is far more powerful than they are now, and it's impossible for them to be controlled by anyone. They have no other choice but to use sweet words and spend a lot of money.
Unless, as Banro had previously promised, they could exploit the religious weaknesses of the Phil Kingdom and find their vulnerabilities to exploit, it would be impossible to get Kanapan to cooperate with them.
But now everything is completely different; Banluo has messed everything up.
Ruva was in a state of utter panic, knowing that Ivory Country was doomed. Having offended the ruthless Tanawu, and now also Karnapan, Ivory Country was now surrounded by enemies.
Ruva grew angrier and angrier, and finally vented his anger on Banro. The weakened Banro was nearly killed by the fall.
"Your Majesty...I..."
Banro then realized he had made a huge mistake. He hadn't expected the consequences to be so severe. No wonder Ruwa was so angry.
My idea was indeed foolish—to kidnap Kanapan and take him to Ivory Coast. By threatening suicide during this operation and nearly killing Kanapan, he will naturally hate Ivory Coast, making future cooperation even more impossible.
But there's no going back. Although Banluo regretted it too, the mistake had been made, and there was no turning back.
"I was wrong... I was so stupid... I will definitely find a way to make up for it in the future."
Banlu dragged his weak body to Ruva, grabbed his leg, and tried to get Ruva's forgiveness.
"What's the point of saying all this now? You're going to ruin our Ivory Coast! You idiot, you scoundrel!"
Ruva was completely unable to control his anger and kept cursing. He felt as if something was burning in his chest and almost coughed up blood.
Ruva felt he couldn't stay any longer; Banro would drive him crazy. He shook off Banro's hand and left, cursing under his breath.
Banluo lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. His men quickly helped him to bed and tried to get him to drink more ginseng soup. Banluo couldn't drink any more; his heart was breaking.
He was now barely clinging to life, and he didn't even know if he could survive. Looking at Ruva's furious expression, it seemed he wanted to kill himself.
They had no idea what would happen to Ivory Coast next, since it was impossible to ask other countries for help now.
They have offended everyone through their own strength, and now Ivory Coast can only hope for the best.
Banro knew his fate was sealed; Ruwa would take his place at the slightest provocation. At this point, Banro felt like he was living a life worse than death.
When Ruva returned to his room, he was also furious and at a loss. His mind was in complete turmoil, and he had no idea what the future held for ivory.
The Ivory Coast currently has no military strength whatsoever and is completely defenseless on its own.
Tanawu might launch a fierce attack at any time, and the Ivory Kingdom was in danger of being destroyed at any moment. At this moment, Ruva was filled with anxiety and surrounded by this fear.
Ruwa's concerns were certainly valid; Tanawu was indeed constantly strengthening the military power of the Moonlight Kingdom, looking for an opportunity to make a comeback.
The once mighty first nation has fallen to this state, and Tanawu's mood is no better than Ruwa's.
These days, he has been training his troops day and night, manufacturing some high-end weapons, and is eagerly waiting for an opportunity to regain his dignity.
Everything continues to move forward in this way; the wheels of history will not stop for anyone, they will only keep moving forward.
Survival of the fittest is a law of nature, applicable to both individuals and nations.
Yang Xia continued to assign people to study the stones they had brought back. He had no idea what use these mysterious stones were on that advanced deep-sea submarine.
But he knew in his heart that these stones were no ordinary objects, otherwise they would not have appeared in such a large quantity in such an advanced submarine.
We must thoroughly study the wonders of these stones in order to unravel more mysteries.
The top scientists in Phil were equally dedicated, working day and night on their research. Several days later, they finally arrived at a result.
"Your Majesty, the scientists have made a breakthrough in their research. Please come and see it as soon as possible." Yang Xia was handling state affairs in the main hall when he heard General Meng Yu come to report this news.
"What, really? These scientists from Phil are truly remarkable."
"Let's go, let's go take a look now!" Yang Xia was extremely excited when he heard the news. He immediately stood up and went to the research room.
Yang Xia has invested a lot of manpower and resources in research, and their research laboratory is also particularly advanced. With the addition of these high-end scientists, progress in all aspects is naturally very rapid.
"What's the deal with those magical stones?"
Upon arriving at the lab, Yang Xia couldn't wait to ask questions before the scientists could even speak.
He had been wanting to know this result for a long time, as it would play a crucial role in the subsequent research on deep-sea submarines, and Yang Xia was naturally very concerned about the answer.
"Your Majesty, this magical stone is called Vajra, and its material is exceptionally hard. In addition to being an excellent building material, it also contains a rare toxin."
The scientists of Phil Kingdom had long regarded Yang Xia as their ruler and admired him immensely.
The people of Phil Kingdom are very religious, and Yang Xia has helped Phil Kingdom time and time again with his miraculous methods. In their eyes, Yang Xia is the incarnation of a god.
Therefore, these people genuinely respected Yang Xia. They felt very safe and secure staying in Yan Kingdom, receiving meticulous care from Yang Xia.
"What? These stones are not only building materials, but also poisonous? What's going on?"
Yang Xia became even more interested after hearing what the scientists said.
He had never heard of building materials releasing toxins. So if they could release toxins, why use these stones in deep-sea submarines?
These questions lingered in Yang Xia's mind, and he couldn't wait to find out the answers to all his questions.
Only by understanding these issues can we conduct more in-depth research on deep-sea submarines.
"Yes, this stone does contain some toxins. And after being refined at high temperatures and processed, this toxin is extremely rare and can even become a deadly weapon."
The scientists told Yang Xia all about the wonders of these magical stones, and Yang Xia listened with great interest.
"So that's how it is. It seems that the use of these stones in deep-sea submarines is no accident; someone deliberately designed it this way."
"But what is their design philosophy? We should continue to study it in depth and uncover more of the truth."
Yang Xia continued to communicate with these scientists with great anticipation, as there were still many aspects they needed to study.
These questions must all be answered before the secrets of the deep-sea submarine can be fully revealed.
"Your Majesty, you are right. There are many aspects that still require further in-depth research. However, we are confident that we will be able to figure them all out soon."
The scientists from Phil were very confident about their research and kept reassuring Yang Xia.
Yang Xia nodded trustingly; they certainly had great confidence in the scientists from Phil Country.
Moreover, Yang Xia is a very shrewd strategist. While conducting their research, these scientists from the Phil Kingdom also successfully mentored some scientists from the Yan Kingdom.
The scientists in Yan Kingdom also grew rapidly. After all, in many aspects, one must rely on one's own strength and cannot depend on anyone else.
Under Yang Xia's leadership, the Yan Kingdom has achieved rapid development in all aspects.
Both technological and economic strength are improving at a visible pace.
Yang Xia is particularly confident about the secrets of the deep-sea submarines he is currently researching, and believes that the truth will soon be revealed to the world.
Yang Xia wanted to uncover all the secrets of deep-sea submarines in order to achieve complete development.
He didn't believe that the greatest achievement was simply letting Yan develop on its own. Instead, he wanted to involve all the surrounding countries, making them willingly gravitate towards Yan. Only then would his mission be considered successfully completed.
To achieve this goal, we can only keep moving forward.
Research on this magical stone is still ongoing.
I originally thought that the scientists in Phil were particularly capable and would soon be able to find out the answers to all the questions I wanted to know.
But Yang Xia was wrong. Their research seemed to have come to an end, with no further progress.
A few days later, Yang Xia was still not satisfied, so he went to the research lab to chat with the scientists and wanted to know about their progress.
"How is it? Any new progress? Why are these magical stones being used in deep-sea submarines?" Yang Xia asked impatiently, hoping for even the slightest progress.
The scientists shook their heads in frustration. They were also extremely disappointed, as their research had stalled and made no progress.
"We also felt like we'd seen a ghost. There wasn't a single clue at all, and it seemed like all the research had hit a bottleneck."
"No matter how far we get in our research, these clues seem to vanish into thin air. We've never encountered anything like this before."
The scientists from Phil kept shaking their heads; they had tried their best, but still couldn't overcome these difficulties.
They're right; these aspects are indeed puzzling. Yang Xia also knew how capable these scientists were; they could uncover even the slightest clue.
But the current situation is unbelievable even to Yang Xia.
It seemed these scientists couldn't find any further clues either. Yang Xia knew he couldn't let things drag on any longer; some things could go wrong if he waited. He had to clarify these related issues to ensure the smooth progress of his research.
Having exhausted all other options, Yang Xia had no choice but to turn to the system for help. He began communicating with the system in his mind.
What exactly are those mysterious stones found in deep-sea submarines? We only know they're called King Kong, a high-quality building material, but they also contain toxins.
Who exactly is using this material in deep-sea submarines, and what is their purpose? Our research has reached a dead end.
Yang Xia told the system about the current predicament he was facing and hoped that the system could provide a corresponding solution.
Here's what you'll do: you can use your points to redeem a precognitive mirror in the system. This mirror will reveal some truths to you.
The system did not give Yang Xia a direct answer, but instead asked him to exchange for a precognitive mirror within the system.
This situation seemed unbelievable to Yang Xia. But he had no other choice but to follow the system's instructions and search for the so-called Precognitive Mirror in the system shop.
"So there really are precognitive mirrors!"
After browsing through the information, Yang Xia indeed found the precognitive mirror mentioned by the system, which required 8,000 points to redeem. (End of Chapter)
