Alien Lord

"Sect Master Lin, is this how you treat guests?" Seeing that Lin Ze didn't greet her, Li Ziyu said angrily.

"Hehe, this was my mistake, come here, serve tea!!" Lin Ze apologized with a smile, and motioned for Li Ziyu to sit down.

Li Ziyu did not sit down directly, but came to Lin Ze, took out a gift list, and said respectfully: "Young Sovereign, I am here to meet you, Young Sovereign, on behalf of our Later Tang Kingdom. This is our I hope you will like the gift that the Later Tang Kingdom gave you, Young Sovereign, and similarly, we, the Later Tang Kingdom, also hope to form an alliance with you, Young Sovereign, and maintain the best friendship."

As soon as Li Ziyu came up, she told the reason why she came to Lin Ze straight to the point. It stands to reason that things like forming an alliance should not be brought up so quickly. They should be discussed first, or talk about other things, and then lead out. This is the matter of forming an alliance, but now Li Ziyu went the other way and directly mentioned the reason why she came to Lin Ze.

This is not only Li Ziyu's cleverness, but also a relationship where the strengths of the two parties are extremely unequal.

Li Ziyu is very smart, and now Lin Ze is happy. At this time, if you tell the reason in an open and honest manner, Lin Ze is very likely to agree. Talking around in circles took away the original good mood in Lin Ze's heart. Hehe, it would have been good if Li Ziyu hadn't been kicked out by Lin Ze at that time. As for forming an alliance, don't even think about it.

Besides, the Hou Tang Kingdom is very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but now compared with Lin Zeyi, to be honest, that's it.

If the super hermit sect of the Yanhuang Sect is home again, then comparing Tang and Lin Ze, there will be such a gap between a small country and a superpower.

The strength gap between the two is really too big. At this time, if you still think about negotiating with the other party on an equal relationship, the final result will definitely make you extremely disappointed.

As a weak person, when facing the strong and overlord, you must first have the attitude of a weak person. Only when you let the strong see your attitude, will he be able to discuss and cooperate with you.

Li Ziyu understood this point very clearly, so she explained the main reason for coming to Lin Ze this time, forming an alliance! !

After saying these words, Li Ziyu handed over the gift list to Qu Jingwen with a serious face.

Qu Jingwen took the gift list, opened it and glanced at it, raised his brows slightly, feeling a little surprised in his heart, but still reported to Lin Ze in a calm manner: "Young Sect Master, there are twenty thousand-year-old iron trees on it! ! And each one is more than 300 meters long, which is most suitable for use as the keel of a war airship!"

When Lin Ze heard it,

He was also shocked, because what he lacks the most now is the keel needed to make the warship.

Some people may ask here, doesn’t Lin Ze understand modern smelting technology? If so, he can use steel keels to replace thousand-year-old iron and wood keels. Moreover, with Lin Ze’s current technology and his many refining tools Master, Lian pointed out that such a steel keel is not a problem at all, so he doesn't need any thousand-year-old iron and wood at all.

If you really think this way, then you are completely wrong. The manufacture of warships is absolutely inseparable from millennium iron wood.

Don't forget, the power source of the war flying boat in Lin Ze's hand is aura, which is an extremely magical pattern. The strength of steel is high, and the difficulty of manufacturing is also small. However, the most terrible thing about it is that the permeability of aura is very ordinary. .

Just like wires, why the wires in the past were made of copper instead of iron with lower value and more quantity, the biggest reason is not because copper has a relatively low resistivity and good ductility, so it is not easy to break, and the power loss is minimal when delivering power;

Although the price of iron is lower than that of copper, its resistivity is high, it generates more heat when transmitting current, and consumes a lot of current. Therefore, iron is directly eliminated.

As for silver, which has better conductivity than copper, although it has a lower resistivity, the cost of silver is really too high, and no country can afford such a huge consumption.

In the same way, steel can indeed make keels, but such keels can only support warships, and it is completely impossible to strengthen the combat effectiveness of warships.

And the thousand-year-old iron wood itself is spiritual material, or spiritual wood, and its aura conduction performance is also extremely superior. Using it as the keel of the war airship, the combat effectiveness of this war airship can be increased several times.

Moreover, who said that the thousand-year-old iron wood is less solid than steel, this is the thousand-year iron wood, or spirit wood, so its sturdiness is only stronger than modern steel.

Finally, it is also a very important point, that is, the thousand-year-old iron wood is stronger than steel, but in terms of weight, it is several times lighter than steel of the same volume.

With the same volume, the weight of the keel made of steel is about several hundred tons, but the weight of thousand-year-old iron wood is only tens of tons, which is ten times smaller in weight alone.

For air fortresses like warships, weight is the most important thing. The lower the weight of the keel, the more beneficial it is for warships.

With so many advantages, Lin Ze of course used spiritual wood like thousand-year-old iron wood when manufacturing the war flying boat.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Ziyu took out so many thousand-year-old iron wood at once, which made Lin Ze feel good about Li Ziyu.

When he was in Xingyue City before, Lin Ze tried his best to inquire about the millennium iron wood in the trading market, especially the kind of thousand-year-old iron wood that was kept intact and three to four hundred meters long, which was the key point among the key points. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, until Lin Ze left Xingyue City, Lin Ze didn't get any useful news.

Millennium iron wood is really too rare to come by. First of all, iron wood has to evolve into spirit wood first, and this is the biggest problem.

Ordinary ironwood is not a precious wood, on the contrary, it is just an extremely common wood, and before it transforms into a thousand-year ironwood, its usefulness to humans is very limited, even ordinary wood is more expensive than it. Come useful.

Ironwood, as the name suggests, its wood is extremely hard, as hard as iron, which makes it extremely difficult for ordinary people to use it to make furniture. Fragrance can not prevent pests, so iron wood is not very popular with people.

In this way, when many people see ironwood, they will cut it down, and no one will plant ironwood in a place full of aura.

These reasons have made it difficult for iron wood to evolve into spirit wood. If someone hadn't discovered the value of millennium iron wood later, perhaps iron wood would not have a bright day now.

It is so difficult for iron wood to transform into spirit wood, let alone continue to grow for thousands of years and become iron wood years ago.

A thousand years is really too long, too long, even a strong Jindan stage has already died for two rounds. (Generally, the strong Jindan stage, that is, the lifespan of five or six hundred years), such a long time, how can a practitioner have the patience to wait.

Even if they know the value of a thousand-year-old ironwood, by the time they really become a thousand-year-old ironwood, they will have already been turned into ashes. Therefore, many practitioners don't even think about cultivating a thousand-year-old ironwood.

If there are iron trees occupying the spiritual land, these cultivators will not hesitate to eradicate these iron trees.

Such behavior has caused the number of thousand-year-old ironwoods to continue to shrink. Up to now, thousand-year-old ironwoods are extremely rare.

Afterwards, some people used the thousand-year-old ironwood to manufacture warships, which caused the resources of the thousand-year-old ironwood to become less and less.

The war flying boat is a //war//strategy// weapon, so, of course, the main material for making it, the thousand-year-old iron wood, will of course be subject to strict restrictions, and most people don't want to buy it at all.

Even if it appeared on the market, the price of millennium iron wood was sky-high.

This is the thousand-year-old ironwood that can be used to make the keel of warships, so its price is almost calculated in meters, and the price per meter of thousand-year-old ironwood sells for nearly two hundred spirit stones on the market, and the most terrible thing is, This is still priceless!

Don't look at the price of two hundred spirit stones as if it's very low. It's not good, but it's in meters, and a piece of thousand-year-old iron wood has at least three or four hundred meters, that is, a thousand-year-old stone. The price of iron wood is at least 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, and there is no market for the price, which shows the rarity of millennium iron wood.

And now Lin Ze has ten thousand-year-old iron trees directly in front of him, and the length of each is about 400 meters. It can be said that this gift list is what Lin Ze likes the most, and he really wants to agree directly. down.

It's just that although Lin Ze was extremely surprised in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, because what he wants now is not just these ten thousand-year-old iron trees.

Judging from Li Ziyu's ability to take out ten thousand-year-old iron wood so easily, she, or the royal family of the later Tang Dynasty, will definitely have more thousand-year-old iron wood. Perhaps Lin Ze's main material supplier for manufacturing the warship army is It will fall on Li Ziyu and the others.

Thinking about how many times I tried to buy some thousand-year-old iron wood with high prices in Xingyue City, but in the end I still returned empty-handed, and now that I have just demonstrated my strong strength, Li Ziyu's side automatically He came to the door, actively begging Lin Ze to accept the ten thousand-year-old iron trees.

Thinking of the changes before and after, Lin Ze sighed in his heart: This is really unpredictable!

At the same time, Lin Ze also felt that his previous decision to show his strength was really correct, otherwise, where would he have gained these things now.
