High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body
Chapter 198 The Misty Starfield! An Absolute Forbidden Zone!
You could tell that the aunt truly loved the uncle deeply.
Previously, the family struggled to even have enough to eat, which is why the aunt hid her longing for Li Mo and Li Xue, all for the sake of raising them.
Now that Li Mo is not only capable but has also become a sought-after figure in the army, his aunt brought up the old story again, hoping that Li Mo could inquire about his uncle and his biological parents.
Li Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally told his aunt the truth.
Actually, Li Mo had inquired about this matter with Zhao Zhenyuan before going to the Sumeru Secret Realm. At that time, Zhao Zhenyuan's general idea was that Li Mo's biological parents and uncle were all special agents in the military, and were ordered to carry out a mission.
According to Li Mo's speculation, the three of them were on a mission to go to a forbidden area in an enemy country, and thus became trapped there.
Because Zhao Zhenyuan firmly believed that all three of them were still alive!
However, Li Mo's strength was too weak at the time, and his military rank was not high, so Zhao Zhenyuan did not tell him the whole truth and told him to tell him the truth after Li Mo grew up.
Now that Li Mo has become a major general in the army and has reached the Two Elements Realm, Zhao Zhenyuan should not be able to stop him from inquiring about this news.
Therefore, after Li Mo told his aunt about the identities of his parents and uncle, he made a promise to her.
"Auntie, don't worry! I will definitely give you the complete truth!"
If possible, Li Mo also wants to find his biological parents and bring his uncle back to fulfill the wish of his aunt who raised him!
Therefore, Li Mo found Zhao Zhenyuan the next day.
Zhao Zhenyuan hadn't been to the capital for a long time, and he needed to maintain many connections there. But as soon as he heard that Li Mo wanted to see him, he immediately put down everything he was doing and met with Li Mo.
Despite his imposing presence in Ironblood City, Marshal Zhao Zhenyuan's residence in the capital was merely a 100-square-meter house, far removed from any political center, demonstrating the government's apprehension towards the military!
"Hello, Zhao Shuai!"
After entering the room, Li Mo first saluted Zhao Zhenyuan, and then thanked Zhao Zhenyuan for helping him yesterday in the parliament hall by threatening to dismiss him.
Zhao Zhenyuan didn't take it to heart, and his tone was quite amiable. After all, Li Mo was now his most valued subordinate and his only bargaining chip against the government.
"Alright! No need to be so formal. There's no need for such formalities in private!"
As he spoke, Zhao Zhenyuan took out some fine tea and top-quality fruit to entertain Li Mo.
Li Mo glanced at it briefly and couldn't help but be amazed. If Li Mo remembered correctly, this tea was the best tea in Hanwu City, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan per kilogram.
The fruits are all high-end varieties grown in space, exclusively supplied by the government, and are available at a high price but not on the market.
Zhao Zhenyuan glanced at Li Mo's eyes and understood his meaning, so he laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that! I am, after all, a marshal. I can't avoid social interactions in the capital. These things were given to me by officials at all levels, simply to help me get men into the army!"
"These officials' sons aren't all good-for-nothings; some are promising! Joining the army isn't necessarily a bad thing! For example, Zheng Jiahao, Qin Zhengnan, and Wu Yuqing from your Independent Regiment are all like that! If I don't accept gifts, those officials will be reluctant to send their sons into the army to prevent them from suffering. In that case, I might as well accept these gifts!"
Hearing Zhao Zhenyuan say this, Li Mo felt relieved and began to eat heartily, saying as he ate, "In that case, could you pack some for me later so I can take some home for my family to try?"
Zhao Zhenyuan looked somewhat helpless: "Why are you taking food and gifts? Never mind! You wouldn't come looking for me for no reason. After all, I finally have a holiday. Tell me, what's wrong?"
How could someone as shrewd as Zhao Zhenyuan not see that Li Mo had come to him with important matters to discuss?
Li Mo didn't hide anything and directly brought up the whereabouts of his biological parents again.
Zhao Zhenyuan had initially kept the truth from Li Mo by claiming that Li Mo was not strong enough, but now he had no excuse left.
Seeing Li Mo's gaze, Zhao Zhenyuan knew there was no escaping it this time, and could only sigh slightly.
"Sigh! Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you everything!"
"However, I must tell you beforehand that with your current strength, you still cannot bring your parents and uncle back! Because that is the most mysterious region of the White European Empire!"
About 130 years ago, a mysterious meteorite suddenly fell on the territory of the White European Empire.
This mysterious meteorite was not small; upon impact, it destroyed one-third of the territory of the White European Empire at the time.
At that time, the White European Empire had been re-established for less than fifty years, and the scholars of Great Xia unanimously believed that the White European Empire was likely to be destroyed again because of this incident.
The government of Great Xia was even preparing to accept refugees from the White European Empire.
But from that time on, strange things started to happen.
The White European Empire was not destroyed because of this incident; instead, a large number of exceptionally intelligent freaks suddenly emerged within its borders.
Originally, the technological level of the Great Xia Dynasty far surpassed that of the White European Empire at that time, because the Great Xia Dynasty was not destroyed by the revival of spiritual energy, while the White European Empire was destroyed by the revival of spiritual energy and then rebuilt.
However, these exceptionally intelligent freaks instantly reversed the situation and surpassed the technology of the Great Xia in less than ten years!
It has leaped to become the world's strongest technological power!
Perhaps this is what is meant by the fate of a nation!
Hearing this, Li Mo suddenly chuckled: "Heh, the White European Empire has indeed suddenly produced a group of exceptionally intelligent freaks, but they still can't compare to our Chen Xingbian..."
Zhao Zhenyuan seemed to have thought of something and shook his head, saying, "That's different. I looked at Chen Xingbian's resume, and he seems like a genius who shouldn't exist in this era! But the Great Xia only has one truly capable scientist!"
At this point, Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he immediately changed the subject: "But those scientists from the White European Empire are more like man-made freaks!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mo seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter. If scientists could mass-produce such products, a country's technological level would indeed be greatly improved.
After all, a person's energy is ultimately limited, and the definition of science is too broad; most scientists only study one field of technology in their lifetime.
For example, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and so on.
These broad disciplines are further subdivided into countless specialized fields.
If scientists could be mass-produced, then a country's science could develop comprehensively.
Even someone as brilliant as Chen Xingbian only demonstrated wisdom far surpassing that of modern scientists in the fields of weapons research and quantum science.
However, for a country to achieve a technological leap, it must develop in all aspects.
Zhao Zhenyuan told Li Mo that the Baiou Empire's achievement of mass-producing scientists was most likely due to that meteorite impact!
Today, the area where the meteorite struck has become the most mysterious and absolute forbidden zone in the White European Empire!
It is known as the Misty Starfield!
