#558 - Chapter 45: Star Harvester (II)

Confusion shook his head, a hint of apology in his tone: "I'm sorry, Master, I don't know what this is either. From its appearance, it seems to be some kind of lost Cybertronian technology device, but I really can't guess its specific function and purpose. Moreover, look at the symbols on it, they are ancient characters, used only among the elders of Cybertron, and have been lost for a long time."

Liu Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding. He thought to himself, it seems that to figure out how to use this thing, further investigation is needed. His gaze fell on the device again, carefully observing it.

The main body of this instrument has a unique shape, like a launch tower. The main launch device is about thirty-eight meters high, while the other four auxiliary devices are slightly shorter, about twenty-six meters high. These devices look like equipment for gathering energy, but Liu Yuan did not find any obvious operating system or control panel on the base.

Liu Yuan walked around the entire instrument, carefully observing every detail. Suddenly, he noticed an important clue—this instrument was not fixed to the metal floor! This means that if you want to move it or study its internal structure, it will become relatively easy.

If that's the case, then that's great! Liu Yuan was secretly delighted. He immediately placed his hands gently on the Star Harvester and used his powerful mental power, surging like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire device!

"Dong~!" A heart-shaking vibration suddenly sounded, the deafening sound echoed in the surrounding space, and even the air seemed to be stirred and trembled slightly. The entire space began to twist and deform, as if it could not withstand the impact of this powerful force.

And at this moment, the behemoth that originally stood there—the Star Harvester—disappeared without warning, leaving only an empty platform, which seemed particularly abrupt.

Liu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, looking very tired. That just now consumed a lot of his mental power, almost exhausting all his energy. Because whether his small world stores or releases objects, it consumes corresponding mental power according to the mass. Although the Star Harvester does not look too big, its mass density is actually extremely high, so it takes a lot of mental power to complete the operation.

Liu Yuan turned his head to look at the confused expression on the screen of Confusion beside him.

Liu Yuan said: "After you go back, you must study this thing carefully and figure out its operating principle. As for the study of the Fire Source, you can put it aside for now." After speaking, he didn't wait for Confusion to answer, and directly stretched out his hand to take it back into his small world.

Liu Yuan rested in place for a while, then got up and prepared to leave. He returned along the way he came, and soon came to the Queen's Hall again. He stood in front of the huge stone slab, urging his telekinesis to slowly lift the stone slab, and finally steadily returned to its original position. Then, he waved his sleeves to blow away the dust on the ground, so as not to be noticed. Looking at all this, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this should not arouse suspicion, after all, it would be difficult for tomorrow's staff to see any problems. Finally, he turned and left the Queen's Hall, his figure gradually disappearing into the pyramid.

In the following days, Liu Yuan traveled around Egypt like an ordinary tourist. He successively came to Luxor, Thebes, and Aswan. In these places, he visited many famous attractions.

Among them, the most special is the origin of the Sphinx, the Karnak Temple. In addition, he also visited the Luxor Temple dedicated to the sun god Amun, the Abu Simbel Temple with giant statues of Ramses II, and the Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess of love Isis, and so on.

What Liu Yuan cared about most was the Valley of the Kings, which is located near the Thebes ruins, a limestone canyon in the desert. He vaguely remembered that in the movie, the elders' tombs were in a canyon.

Here, many ancient Egyptian pharaohs' tombs are buried. This used to be a magnificent tomb complex. According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 60 pharaohs' tombs inside. Liu Yuan has spent five full days here, searching the canyon every night. But unfortunately, he didn't find anything left by the Transformers, not even Cybertronian characters.

Liu Yuan believes that he may have made a mistake in the direction of the search and must have missed some important information. Because the stone slab clearly depicts that the Egyptians discovered the remains of the six elders and built a magnificent temple on the cave. However, he has now searched all the traditional monuments, but still has nothing. Therefore, this temple is likely not in Egypt.

This conclusion made Liu Yuan feel very棘手, because it is too difficult to determine the exact location of this temple. After all, there has always been controversy about the ancient Egyptian territory, and different historical periods and research materials have different claims. Although generally speaking, the main territory of ancient Egypt was concentrated in the African Nile River basin, its territory also expanded to the southern Nile River valley from Sudan to Ethiopia, and from the delta region across the Sinai Peninsula to the Canaan Plain.

That is, the current location of Israel and Palestine, and even including parts of Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, this range is large.

Therefore, finding the legendary temple is as difficult as reaching the sky. Liu Yuan was not stubborn and continued to look for it here. On the 8th day of arriving in Egypt, he bought a ticket to Hong Kong Island.

August 2008, the two major U.S. mortgage giants: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's stock prices plummeted, and financial institutions holding the bonds of the two companies suffered large-scale losses. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve were forced to take over "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" to show the government's determination to deal with the crisis.

However, due to the inappropriate real estate financial policies of the U.S. government, coupled with the abuse of related financial derivatives, the financial transaction chain was lengthened, fueling speculation.

September 15th, Hong Kong Island Central Exchange Square, in a reception room on the 29th floor. Liu Yuan sat in a recliner, holding a coffee cup in one hand, looking at the bustling crowd outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In front of the desk, a very eye-catching OL beauty was operating the computer, checking the documents in her hand. The beauty reached out and pushed her glasses and said: "Mr. Liu, according to your previous instructions, all the stocks held in your name have been sold, and the estimated profit is about 11.3 times! Congratulations! You are now the youngest billionaire in the world!"
