I live in a desert island property

"It's too slow... Please complete the transformation of the ship within 6 days. The source of the world can save as much as possible! You must know that the source of the world is the trump card and life. We must allow some fault tolerance!"

Gondor patted the table hard, and said with a serious face: "Mobilize everyone, regardless of men, women, children, technicians or logistics officials! Got it!"

"Understood, Your Excellency!" The Honggang people pulled their beards vigorously, stood up and shouted in unison—this can be said to be the standard etiquette when they make a promise.

Gondor nodded, and was quite satisfied with the morale of the crowd, which was many times better than when he fell into the abyss at the beginning!

At the beginning, even Gondor himself was full of despair. He just went out to salvage the ore with the determination to die, but he didn't expect to find such a glimmer of life in a turnaround!

He cleared his throat again: "In addition, we have to find a way to cooperate with the extraordinary in the next stage."

Everyone was shocked.

"Is there anything here that can impress him?"

Gondor's voice lowered, "If the source of the world is closed, there will definitely be monsters invading. If this extraordinary person is willing to help, the number of our soldiers killed in battle will be greatly reduced! This is an abyss. Zhihai is thousands of times more dangerous, you don't think you will be able to sit back and relax in the future, do you?"

"It's not even uncommon for monsters to exist that we can't fight."

"In addition, if you ask him to salvage some of the minerals in the abyss, it is a rare treasure for us."

"But we have to give something..."

These words are quite realistic.

However, even if they think about it, this group of Honggang people can't find any special bargaining chips. They still owe a debt that has not been paid off, but don't think that a piece of the fountain of life can be traded for a hundred tons. quality irregular ore. For the good things in the cabin, at least a few must be given away, there are not many left!

Everyone discussed it one after another.

"The source of the world is a very precious bargaining chip, he must want it. But we can't trade it out, this is our remaining lifeline..."

"Yeah, the source of the world is not working."

"As for other bargaining chips... Hey, we have too few good things in our hands."

Gondor rubbed his hot forehead, and suddenly said: "How is the development of the Abyss Armor?"

"It's difficult... The pollution of the abyss is too powerful, and we can't think of a good solution for a while." A Honggang person who is responsible for development and design shook his head and said with a bitter face, "Solve it in a short time No, it will take at least a few months to have such a chance."

"Is that so..." Gondor was silent. He originally wanted to show off the technical strength of the Honggang people, but the development of the Abyssal Armor was more difficult than expected.

"How about we rebuild his sailboat? It's better to install a steam engine than a slow sail!" Another technical official patted his head and said, "Or just send one Give him the steel ship, is this a bargaining chip?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and Gondor smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Shan Hong, what you said is indeed a bargaining chip, but it is too small."

"If we use our currency system to measure, how much is it worth to renovate a ship? Millions, tens of millions, it's about the same. And a piece of irregular ore with a mass of one hundred tons is hundreds of billions, trillions, or even think You can't even buy it!"

"You use one million chips to trade hundreds of billions of things, unless that extraordinary person is already crazy. Otherwise, I dare not even ask for this request!"

Gondor tapped the table lightly with his finger: "Renovating the other party's ship can only be regarded as a small gift at best, and the other party may not be willing, because once the steam engine is broken, it will be a burden if it cannot be repaired, and it is not as good as a sailing ship."

The technocrat named Shan Hong hurriedly said, "Of course I'm not talking about ordinary transformation!"

"Instead... present a furnace perpetual motion machine!"

"This chip should be enough!"

Hearing this term, the pupils of many Honggang people in the conference room shrank, and they were taken aback by his suggestion!

Furnace perpetual motion machine, the unique technology of Honggang civilization, needs the power of "world will" to produce, and it will take about 30 to 50 years to produce one!

Honggang people have never traded the "melting furnace perpetual motion machine" in history!

The perpetual motion machines of other models are all poor imitations of it.

The biggest advantage of the "furnace perpetual motion machine" is that it is almost indestructible, can work perfectly for a long time, and even has a self-repair function. It can be described as the best "engine heart" of ocean-going ships.

Another bureaucrat participating in the meeting was a little anxious: "But without the furnace perpetual motion machine, what should we do with our ship? The rest of the perpetual motion machines may be damaged. Without it, can we go back?"

"Of course we can go back!" Shan Hong shouted with a blushing face, "Can't the engine be repaired if it breaks down?"

"A perpetual motion machine in a melting furnace, exchanging hundreds of tons or thousands of tons of irregular minerals, is a huge profit... a win-win move! The irregular minerals we have found in history are all extracted from ores. Craftsmanship Complex, with a huge gap. Now there is a reliable means to obtain these minerals..."

The man continued to object: "The transaction of the melting pot perpetual motion machine must be approved by the parliament. We must not be traitors to civilization? It is a 'melting furnace perpetual motion machine' that has never been traded abroad, part of the will of the world! How can it be sold directly?" go?!"

"What traitors, when we bring back these hundreds of tons of minerals, we will be real heroes! But if we can't go back, the perpetual motion machine of the furnace will only be swallowed by the abyss!"

The meeting room is like a vegetable market, a group of people are arguing, their faces are red.

Among the Honggang crowd, there are naturally conservative forces. They think that the "melting furnace perpetual motion machine" is like a spiritual totem, and it is unacceptable to trade it out like this.

But some people think that this is a very cost-effective deal. After all, this is the best bargaining chip they can get, and the other party may also need it!

Listening to the discussion, Gondor sighed, "If the old fellows in the high-level council knew about this opportunity, they might sell some furnace perpetual motion machines in exchange for irregular minerals! This suggestion... is actually okay."

"Ahem, be quiet!" He patted the table hard, "Well, I will contact the high-level council to inform this matter."

"We fell into the abyss and met another extraordinary person. It is indeed worth contacting. If the high-level council allows the perpetual motion machine of the trading furnace, everyone will not have to quarrel here."

Contacting the base camp naturally required a price—the source of the world.

And the connection in the abyss is extremely expensive, perhaps more than ten times that of the sea of ​​demon gods, which makes the family that is not rich in the first place even worse!

Gondor's heart trembled when he thought of the fee, but in front of so many subordinates, he could only pretend that nothing had happened: "Is there anything else you want to say, let's talk about it now. I just want to I will contact the headquarters once, it is impossible to contact the second time!"

"Admiral," said a bald old man with a white beard at this time, "I have observed that His Excellency the Extraordinary still has some affection for his mother civilization."

"It's just that his mother civilization may be far away, which is the exploration boundary of our family."

"During the dinner, he once revealed that his mother civilization seems to be in contact with the snake-people civilization... The snake-people are not a very strong civilization."

"Ah... it shouldn't pose a threat to his mother civilization."

"So, you mean..."

Many Honggang people around the table couldn't help but want to laugh a little, a civilization that can cultivate extraordinary people, what's the risk of contacting the snake civilization?

"But I think that a bargaining chip at the level of civilization may be more appropriate."

Gondor was slightly taken aback: "Go on."

The old man said again: "We have established a long-term trade relationship with the snake civilization. Maybe we can act as a middleman to speed up their exchange and trade. After all, it will take several years, even decades, from the first contact to the establishment of diplomatic relations. Right? With our intermediary, we can omit a period of mutual guard."

"We can even take a small amount of credit and ask the snake-human civilization to give some small things. It doesn't need to be too much. After all, courtesy is light and affection is important."

Gondor frowned, this is a pretty easy way, and the price is not much.

The trade between the Honggang civilization and the snake people only happens once in a hundred years.

A hundred years is an acceptable category for a civilization with a long history and for the life cycle of a strong man.

The amount of goods traded at one time is naturally huge, and its economic value is immeasurable.

The snake people civilization is indeed not strong, but they have unique methods of taming monsters.

These training methods are very special, and they are often completed through the will of their own world, and there is not much they can learn from Honggang people.

Therefore, once a civilization possesses unique technology, it is very popular in the Sea of ​​Demon Gods.

Gondor nodded: "This method is very good. When I contact the headquarters, I will report it... Human civilization... Ladies and gentlemen, is there any other method?"

Everyone was silent, reluctantly raised a few dispensable opinions.

"Since there is no one, then...the meeting will be adjourned!"

Gondor got up from the table, and seemed to think of something, turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and paint the ship with irregular paint, the faster the better!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

After the meeting, all Honggang people left in a hurry with tasks.

That glimmer of life can only be found through the efforts of all the staff.

And Gondor himself, holding a file full of words, came to a special room.

The temperature inside is about forty degrees Celsius, and several rumbling machines are working.
