Ten seconds.
Due to the decrease in speed by Ji Xinghe and the time consumed in the dialogue, the distance between the Marquis Level Imperial Mecha and him could be covered in just ten seconds.
Although he wanted to continue asking, the Marquis Level Mecha would certainly not say any more. Moreover, who could guarantee the authenticity of the information stated by the Marquis Level Mecha till now?
Ji Xinghe chose to believe in Marquis Level Mecha's words because what he could be sure of was, the Marquis Level Mecha did not know how much information he had about qi, or perhaps, how much the Federation had controlled regarding the qi.
So, the qi was a form of life energy?
However, there was a component of language barrier. Could the non-professional translator of the Imperial Marquis accurately put forth the most appropriate explanation?
An unnecessary question asked for no reason.
