Chapter 357: Conversation with the Former Crown Prince (2)

"Is the energy absorbed by the transmission platform used to maintain the artificially opened fusion zone? Is the size of the entrance and exit of the space channel an additional energy supply?"

"Yes, these are two sets of energy supplies."

"What about the soldiers and supplies you transported across the border via the teleportation platform? It needs to be activated by the heart core. Is this the third set of energy supply?"

"Yes, the heart cores that can support cross-border transmission can only be produced by high-level witch beasts in Yunding Continent. The reason why we withdrew completely at that time was also because we were short of heart cores."

"The Heart Core is so valuable, how dare you place thirty teleportation platforms at once in Bergen Fortress? And you placed them there without heavy guards?"

"Heavy troops? Of course we have deployed a heavy force. Thirty inter-boundary teleportation platforms is not a small number. The heart core in the commander's hand will attract the interest of adventurers."

"Are the adventurers so bold as to attack the military fortress and seize the heart core?"

"Oh, what are they afraid of? As long as the benefits are big enough, they will participate in the rebellion and take money to assassinate designated bigwigs."

"Oh, I'm sorry. We have a disagreement on the definition of heavy troops. Your heavy troops have not lasted a single round in my hands."

Dipper lowered his head, "I guessed it."

"Besides Bergen Fort, where else are the cross-border teleportation platforms concentrated? Don't make it up. I know there are dozens of them in a fusion zone, but Bergen Fort only has thirty. They should be distributed to correspond to different fusion zones, right?"

“Yes, dispersed and concentrated.”

Ye Na took out a writing clipboard and pen and gave it to him.

"Write it down, don't play tricks, you are a prisoner now, you have to know what's going on."

Dipper took the paper and pen and was very interested in the fountain pen that released the refill by pressing a button. He played with it for a few seconds before starting to write.

"Are there any differences in the locations of the cross-border teleportation platforms in Bergen Fortress? Are they all connected to Blue Star, or are they the same regardless of Blue Star or the Fusion Zone?"

"In our country, we don't make a distinction. We put all cross-border items together. Other countries don't know."

"From your country's perspective, what is the difference between Unicom Blue Star and the Fusion Zone?"

"The Fusion Zone is actually a part of my world. The teleportation platform connecting to the Fusion Zone can save some heart cores, while the one directly connecting to Blue Star will cost more heart cores. That's the difference. There is no other difference."

"If it is part of your world, why is the energy concentration in the fusion zone itself not high?"

"It is an inevitable process for the two worlds to merge. Energy will flow from places with high energy to places with low energy. When the two worlds have merged, the energy will return to balance."

“When will all the integration be completed?”

"I don't know. This is a long process, maybe tens of thousands of years." Dipule shook his head. "No one knows, including the Wizard Saint."

"But according to the time difference, three thousand years have passed over your side. To what extent has the world been integrated? Have those wizards achieved any research results?"

"No, it seems that it is not calculated according to the time of our world, because our world is integrated into your world, so it has to be calculated according to the time of your world."

"You are incredible. Only fifty years have passed on Blue Star. If it takes tens of thousands of years to complete the fusion, by that day, the civilizations on the planet will probably be of the new generation."

Dipper said nothing.

Ye Na looked at him and changed the subject. "But I see that the quality of the captured heart cores is the same. None of them stand out. Why is that?"

Dipper smiled bitterly, "It's because we can't supply them. It's not easy for high-level witch beasts to grow. Even if they grow up, not every one can produce the high-level heart cores we need. We could supply a lot at the beginning, but later on, it became less and less. In recent years, we have only relied on inventory to support us. We usually need them ourselves, so there is not enough to send to the front line battlefield."

"With the way you guys kill them, aren't the high-level witch beasts in Yunding Continent now scarce?"

"Yes, the price of heart cores has increased dramatically, which means that there are not many high-level wizard beasts. I haven't seen a new heart core in several years. Even if there are, I guess they are given to wizards first."

"I have dismantled 40 to 50 teleportation platforms at most in the Fusion Zone. Is there a large production of this material in your hometown?"

"Yes, there are many, many rich ores, which are the basic raw materials for the base when wizards make alchemical products. Placing dozens of teleportation platforms in a fusion zone is nothing. My country of Selsa has placed relatively few. Those countries with richer mineral resources have placed more, just to deploy a large number of troops at once to occupy the new world. Judging from the results of the war, not counting your country, our tactic has been a complete success."

"That's right." Ye Nai admitted this point of view, "Excluding my country, judging from the current situation, you have indeed completed the full occupation. You have won this battle."

Dipper hummed twice.

They both knew that this was just psychological comfort.

Except for the Great Flower Country...

How can you calculate it this way?

This was said as if the Great Flower Country was expelled from the Blue Planet.

Ye Na changed the question.

"I have found high-energy ore in the fusion zone, which can also activate the teleportation platform. What is the name of this ore? Is the output high?"

Dipper looked confused and a little excited, "There is such a mineral?!"

"You haven't seen it?"

"I really do not know."

"Okay, then consider this as my special discovery. Let me ask you another question."

Dipul opened his mouth and wanted to talk more about that special mineral, but then he thought of his current identity and gave up the idea in time.

"The reason for the large-scale evacuation was because you ran out of supplies, right? Or was there another reason?"

"No, it's because of the lack of supply. The united army coming here is a coalition of armies from various countries. Each army has its own thoughts and is eager to seize territory and gain a foothold. They have invested too many resources in your country but still cannot take it down. The land that has been conquered requires a lot of resources to maintain occupation, so of course they have to take care of the one that has already been obtained. Besides, the countries behind the united army are still fighting each other, and they don't have enough resources to keep investing in your country. In the end, they unanimously decided to withdraw their troops from you and maintain a confrontation situation first."

"And then what? You secretly restarted the transporter and sent spies over for long-term observation?"

"Yes, it's true that everyone evacuated, and it's also true that they sent spies back. There are so many teleportation platforms in a fusion zone, you have no idea which one has been quietly reactivated."

"Isn't the transmission platform one-way? How do the spies sent here send messages back?"

"We don't have a one-way teleporter. One-way doesn't make sense. How could you think it was one-way?"

"I saw a group of your soldiers coming through the teleporter. I activated the teleporter, but I couldn't get through."
