Metaverse Evolution

A huge flying boat over 500 meters long was advancing rapidly in the void, with a golden eagle flag fluttering on it, and the flag even extended beyond the barrier. There was no wind or resistance in the void, but the flying boat had inertia.

Chu Fei stood on the side of the boat, silently observing the surroundings, while thinking about the friendly exchange that had just ended.

This was the Storm Caravan, a caravan temporarily hired by the Shenglong Temple.

The "human race" of the Storm Caravan was a kind of eagle-faced people. As a highly evolved life, the eagle-faced people looked different.

Compared with humans, the eagle-faced people also had wings. And the eagle-faced people also had many different subspecies.

On this flying boat, Chu Fei saw at least seven subspecies, including agile, domineering, small, elegant, and so on. The smallest was less than one meter, and the tallest could reach three or four meters.

The eagle-faced people had their own true gods, which were the gods of faith and practice, not the normal gods of practice.

The true god controls the law of storms, so he can be called the "God of Storms"; but because he is only a "lower true god", he can only be called the "God of Sky-Splitting Storms".

Faith practice and normal practice are two practice systems.

In normal practice, all laws belong to oneself, so there is great flexibility;

But the laws of faith practice are not completely determined by oneself, and need to communicate with the outside world, so they cannot be determined by oneself.

Chu Fei has studied before that faith practice means that one's own laws are imperfect or even almost non-existent, and can only use the power of faith to pry the power of the outside world, the power of heaven and earth, and forcefully hijack the authority of heaven and earth.

In this case, there may be conflicts in laws between gods of different beliefs.

In order to avoid this conflict, everyone has to negotiate, you control law A, I control law B, and everyone keeps to themselves. Or take a little from law A and a little from law B to synthesize a new law.

This situation is called "divine duty", the profession of gods and the status of gods between heaven and earth.

And the profession is often the simpler the name, the greater the power. For example, the king of one word side by side.

As for the negotiation method, it is usually to convince people with force.

However, the road of faith practice is getting narrower and narrower. If the lower ones want to make progress, they can only kill the upper ones.

Powerful gods want more power, while small gods need more room for growth. Wars between faith gods are one after another, and the so-called "holy war" and "god war" often break out.

Powerful faith gods often have multiple priesthoods, many of which are plundered.

Fortunately, the influence of each god is limited, so there is no full-scale melee. The division of "realms" here has the reason of faith practice system behind it.

Why the evil dragon realm is constantly eroded by the magic dragon realm and the blue dragon realm on both sides is essentially caused by the expansion of divine power.

The true god of the eagle-faced man is only a lower true god, equivalent to the realm of 20.0~22.0, so he can only add the prefix "split the sky" in front of "the god of storm". Just like the relationship between "general manager" and "general manager of sales department".

Of course, the prefix is ​​not added randomly, it must correspond to the priesthood.

If the believers pray to the God of Ice Storm, but the God of Fire Storm comes, who will get the power of faith (reward)?

However, one thing to note is that faith practice and orthodox practice do not conflict. Some strong people can achieve "double degree"! That is, faith practice reaches the level of true god, and normal practice also reaches the level of true god. Such true gods have explosive combat power. Not to mention reaching "1+1=11", it is far greater than "2".

"How about our merchant ship?" A strange voice came from the side, interrupting Chu Fei's thinking. It was a hawk-faced man with golden hair (feathers).

The "hair" of the hawk-faced man is a kind of slender feathers. But from a distance, it is also as flexible as hair. When the hawk-faced man flies, the "hair" will automatically "drape" to form a streamlined shape. It is basically the effect of feathers on the neck of birds.

This blond eagle-faced man is the "eagle in charge" of the Storm Caravan, Delos Ron Salvador, a high-level god (18.0~20.0); but when they just communicated, the other party actually gave him a Chinese name: Feng Fugui.

I don’t know whether it was because of the businessman’s tactfulness, or because he was really curious about the Yanhuang civilization, or for other reasons - such as commercial or military intelligence gathering, in short, the other party shamelessly begged Jiang Hong to give him a Chinese name, a simple, rich, and catchy name.

As for the choice of surname, it is to try to be consistent with the literal translation of his own name. Feng originally means a fast horse that can cross the river. His original surname "Salvador" means "the fast-flying eagle" in the language of the eagle-faced man.

In addition, this guy also used the power of faith to learn Chinese in a short period of time. Although he is not proficient, it is enough for simple communication.

Chu Fei looked at "Feng Fugui" and said calmly: "Very good, it feels much better than our flying boat."

Feng Fugui laughed, "Better than a flying boat, but not as good as a battleship."

Chu Fei didn't say anything, he couldn't say: You are right.

Feng Fugui didn't give up, and asked: "Why don't your battleships have magical powers such as branding and the end of the world? They are not difficult."

Chu Fei turned his head and looked at the endless void in front of him, and said faintly: "The current battleship technology is still very simple, and it can't even meet our own combat needs, so I dare not show my ugliness."

"It's to keep it secret." Feng Fugui suddenly became serious, "All flying boats imprinted with magical powers such as the End of the World, Thousand Miles Talisman, and Great Teleportation will be controlled by the Supreme God, and the people on the flying boats will also be supervised. As long as the Supreme God is willing, These flying boats can be broken into pieces at any time."

Chu Fei rolled his eyes. Even if you know, you still say it.

Feng Fugui: "I want to ask Shenglong Palace to help us build a warship!"

Chu Fei finally turned around and looked at Feng Fugui seriously, but then he smiled, "You should talk to our Minister Jiang about this matter."

"I know, but I am ready to hand over this order to you. As for how you do it and the price, I don't care. You just need to give me the warships I need and send me the bill."

Chu Fei looked at Feng Fugui intently: "Why?"

“The biggest businessman invests in individuals. I firmly believe this.

No matter what business behavior is, it is essentially a human behavior; even if it is a so-called family and country matter, it is still people and not the so-called country that are ultimately executed.

As the leader of the Storm Caravan, I am where I am today because I invested in a man when I was young. He is now one of the seven high priests of the sky-breaking storm god. "

Chu Fei was shocked by this Feng Fugui. After hesitating for a moment, Chu Fei nodded, "Okay, since Mr. Feng is so straightforward, I will take it. If Mr. Feng has time, how about we have a preliminary chat about our intentions?"

"Of course. Please."

The two of them walked towards a nearby observation deck. During this period, Chu Fei had already contacted Jiang Hong through the cosmic brain and communication means, and quickly communicated the situation.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Fei got the permission.

Shenglong Temple has been looking for "foreign trade" channels, but it has not been smooth in the past.

For a technological civilization, the so-called foreign trade will certainly not be raw materials, but the sale of high-tech items and high value-added products. But at present, the most important foreign trade product of Shenglong Temple is the watch industry.

As for guns, missiles, etc., they really can’t be sold in this world.

Potions and the like are far less famous than cultivation elixirs. Moreover, big data practice has never been very good in the research of pharmaceuticals.

As for battleships, etc., in the past there was no ultra-pure metal, and the quality of battleships was really hard to come by. If it is made of high-dimensional metal, cultivation black iron, etc., the quality is of course no problem, but the price is too high, and the price will naturally be high, so there will naturally be no market.

As a new thing, it is strange to sell it at a high price instead of reducing the price for promotion. Not to mention that there are no true god-level masters in Shenglong Temple, which also makes everyone doubt the entire Shenglong Temple.

But Shenglongdian is also very aggrieved. As we all know, the added value of high-tech products is often several times, ten times, or even dozens of times. The added value is too low and I don’t want to sell it yet.

After having the ultra-pure metal technology brought by Chu Fei, Shenglong Palace prepared for war again. After a slight delay, it was now.

It should be said that Feng Fugui's purchase was the long-awaited opportunity for Shenglong Palace.

And now that the battleship has been "publicly displayed", it has proven its strength and is suitable for sale at a high price.

In short, with Jiang Hong's permission, Chu Fei was ready to let himself go. Chu Fei had seen too much about battleships when he was in the outer world, and he also knew the approximate cost, construction difficulty, cycle, profit point, etc. of battleships.

After sitting down and tasting the special drink from the Eagle-faced Man, Chu Fei said, "Mr. Feng, how much do you estimate the value of our current battleship?"

Feng Fugui narrowed his eyes and started thinking. If you say the price is too low, it doesn't suit your taste; if it's too high, your wallet will be hurt.

However, Chu Fei did not wait for Feng Fugui to answer, but took the initiative to answer: "The total mass of this battleship is as high as 24,000 tons. The entire body is made of dark iron, red copper, fine gold, etc., and even extra-dimensional metal is used in some places. What do you call it?" It’s called “spiritual material.”

Spiritual materials are not just super-dimensional metals, but also include some bones of true gods, top-notch medicinal materials, etc. It can be regarded as a general term for advanced materials.

Feng Fugui said nothing.

Chu Fei took out a metal cube about 50 centimeters square and said: "This is a piece of pure iron with a mass of 1 ton and 1000 kilograms. A kilogram is also called a kilogram."

Feng Fugui took the one-ton "weight" and looked thoughtful.

Chu Fei: "Mr. Feng, if there is a super magic weapon with a mass of 24,000 tons, how much would it be worth?

I remember how high-grade black iron, a piece of black iron, was worth 1,500 standard spiritual stones, and a piece of black iron was generally 1.7 kilograms. Therefore, the cost price of 24,000 tons of black iron alone is about 21,170,000 spiritual stones.

Calculated based on the price of ordinary magic weapons and black iron, the value will increase at least ten times. Then a battleship is worth at least 200 million spiritual stones.

But what if the energy and power system of this magic weapon can run continuously for five or six dragon years as long as it drinks water? Isn't it worth 2 billion spiritual stones? "

Feng Fugui was silent. At this time, Feng Fugui understood - he could buy a warship, but the price would be hundreds of millions of dollars higher. The starting price is 2 billion spirit stones!

In comparison, how much does a flying boat cost? The average price of a common medium-sized flying boat is 100 million spirit stones! This medium-sized flying boat is generally more than three hundred meters long. Even if there is crazy transformation in the later stage, it will not cost 200 million.

But Feng Fugui just closed his eyes and thought for a moment before making a decision, "I can produce 11 billion spiritual stones in my hand now! Please make a plan for me."

Chu Fei was not too surprised. It was just a spiritual stone. Shenglong Palace could produce its own energy crystals. Money is wealth, but wealth is not money!

However, business is not just about making money. The most important thing is the interaction of resources, the expansion of influence, and the accumulation of wealth through business.

After pondering for a while, Chu Fei spoke, "Warship combat requires group combat. My suggestion is to have two warships, one large and one small, paired with a certain number of fighter jets. There should not be just one type of fighter jet, but a super-high-speed interceptor. , mainly flexible fighter jets, and drones that can be discarded at will.

In this way, I will make a demonstration video, which will take a while. "

"OK."

Chu Fei asked a few people to help, and it only took one day for everyone to make a demonstration video, and designed the warships, fighter jets, etc. in every detail.

The main battleship is 360 meters long, and the small battleship is 220 meters long;

The main ship is slower but has strong defense - it is too big and increasing the speed is not as good as increasing the defense;

Small battleships have enhanced speed and lowered defense, giving them a bit of a battlecruiser feel;

In terms of weapons, just refer to current battleships.

On the plane, there are several types. In addition to the interceptors and fighter jets mentioned by Chu Fei, there are also emergency rescue or escape aircraft, as well as reconnaissance aircraft that serve as signal relay stations.

There are many designs for drones, but considering that this is the first foreign trade transaction and the other party doesn’t know much, the drones are not designed to be too complicated. They are all designed to have the ability to self-destruct - if you can return, you can return. It immediately transformed into a missile and exploded on the spot.

The profit point of this transaction, in addition to the profit of the battleship itself, is also the after-sales service. Including but not limited to common warship consumables, munitions, personnel training, etc.

As for the training of personnel that comes with normal arms sales, those are the rules of the outside world, and everyone is willing to participate in them. In the other world, the rules must be re-established. Since there is no mutual entanglement, why should we cut ourselves off?

Later, using computer technology, everyone jointly generated a 20-minute battle simulation video. There are battle videos between battleships, battles between battleships and flying boats, and battle videos against a large number of master practitioners and armies.

But after thinking about it, I finally deleted the “battle video between battleships”. Don't leak this. The final video length is 13 minutes.

After watching the video, Feng Fugui was somewhat silent. He only felt that his eyes were opened. It was even more exciting than the actual battle he had seen before.

In this regard, Chu Fei's explanation is: The enemy's flying boat has never encountered a battleship before, so the response is seriously inadequate; when everyone knows about the battleship in the future, the tactics will inevitably change; and we have already prepared possible future battle changes in advance. Deduced.

After watching the video, Feng Fugui was very satisfied, "This is the first time I have seen a customized weapon. I even deduced how to use the weapon."

Chu Fei smiled, "What we call here is a package plan, or a turnkey project. As a customer, you only need to make a request and sign a contract. We will help with the rest.

By the way, battleship production takes a long time, and it is expected to take six years, which is half the year of the dragon. If the time is exceeded, 10,000 spirit stones will be returned every day. "

Feng Fugui nodded: "This time is already very fast. Some cultivation magic weapons will take decades or even hundreds of years to succeed."

Chu Fei: "A deposit of 40% is required."

"No problem. But you are overtime. I think 100,000 spirit stones is appropriate." Negotiation is negotiation, and Feng Fugui still made his voice heard.

Chu Fei: "If this is the case, what if it is completed ahead of schedule?"

"Isn't it right to finish the project ahead of schedule? After all, these six years are set by you, not me."

Chu Fei nodded, "Yes. But in order to ensure the quality of the battleship, we will conduct long-term testing and try to complete it within six years."

Chu Fei has already decided, if he says six years, it will be six years, and he will never deliver it one day in advance! If the early construction is successful, then leave it alone and ask for testing and debugging.

The power of the Sky-Splitting Storm God where Feng Fugui belongs is a belief system, and divine wars often break out. Six years later, there is a high probability that the other party will beg Chu Fei to deliver it quickly.

However, for the first order, Chu Fei was not prepared to charge extra, which was considered a reward for Feng Fugui. But you can use these small things to gain more rights for future transactions.

When doing things, we must pay attention to long-term interests.

The two parties finally signed an agreement. It was a simple paper agreement with no binding force. It all depended on each other's moral standards.

Everything went well. When Chu Fei came to Jiang Hong with an order of 11 billion spiritual stones and 4.4 billion spiritual stones in cash, Jiang Hong's smile was so big that it almost split his mouth to the back of his head.

The journey went smoothly after that, and they returned to Shenglong Palace a month later. Shenglong Palace received the storm caravan warmly and paid the employment fee. The Storm Caravan also purchased a lot of products here at Shenglong Palace, including Xuantie, which is now being mass-produced.

The quality of the fifth-grade black iron from Shenglong Palace is higher than the high-quality black iron on the market, and the price is a little cheaper. Because of this happy cooperation, the Storm Caravan purchased a large amount of black iron, red copper, etc. of level four or above, and even loaned 1 billion spiritual stones to buy more.

As for Jiang Hong, after the group returned to Shenglong Palace, Jiang Hong finally couldn't help but patted Chu Fei on the shoulder and laughed: "This order of 11 billion spirit stones is very good, although we don't earn much, only 10 billion. Looks like a bad start, but it’s a good start!”

Earning 10 billion from an order worth 11 billion, still not earning much?

Yes, this is not Jiang Hong's pretense, but a fact. In the arms business, ten-fold profits can only be regarded as entry-level, and hundred-fold profits are not uncommon.

For the arms, Chu Fei transferred the 11 billion order to the relevant departments of Shenglong Temple at a price of 10 billion. Chu Fei made 1 billion with tears.

After that, Chu Fei was invited to participate in a top-secret plan - the True God Plan!

Next, Shenglong Temple will spare no effort to give birth to its own True God!

The True God Plan is not something that has only been around recently, but it has finally reached the sprint stage. (End of this chapter)
