The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 501 Purchase knowledge! (Two in one chapter)

In order to get a high price, Lu Yiming began to complain: "General Zhao... how can it be so easy to obtain alien flesh and blood?"

"General Zhao should also know that whenever there is a disaster, it is the result of a narrow escape. These alien flesh and blood are all accumulated by us."

"For a technological civilization like ours, alien flesh and blood are good research specimens and cannot be simply sold."

"However, if the black armor General Zhao wears is used for trading, it will definitely be enough. I can make the decision and exchange for 2 tons of flesh and blood."

People in the Jin Empire were stunned. Although the communication between the two parties was a bit difficult, they understood one of the words - research?

It turns out that aliens can still be used for research?

But think about it, even if their Jin civilization kills some aliens, there will still be people doing professional dissections.

It is not surprising that scientific and technological civilization can really develop some tricks.

But Zhao Yi didn't want to sell the dragon scale armor he was wearing. These were dragon scales, and they couldn't be compared with the dragon's scales! There are only a few of them in the entire civilization!

Although they have a strong desire to buy, they will not be extorted from such a sum by the Sea of ​​Clouds so easily.

Seeing that they were a little hesitant, Lu Yiming was not in a hurry. He took out a tablet and clicked on the photo software on it: "By the way, dear guests. After discussions here, we have some brand-new products that we want to If you want to sell it, you can take a look."

"If there are goods you like, you can discuss them with us. The price must be very favorable. As long as you come up with the elixir you used last time... we will definitely give you an even better deal."

The envoys of the Jin Empire also knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, and haste makes waste.

The more urgent they appear, the greater the chance of being blackmailed.

Zhao Yi was thinking about buying medicine and alien flesh and blood. He suppressed his irritation and opened the photo to take a look. Suddenly...

Take a deep breath!

"artillery!"

The Unkai actually sold the artillery to them!

Lu Yiming had a smile on his face, knowing that they would react this way.

This is also the conclusion reached after the last meeting. Due to the great success of the first and second waves of transactions, both parties have somewhat let down their guard.

But it is too far away to form an offensive and defensive alliance. As it is now, there is no point in talking about it, even if a contract is signed, because you can go back on it at any time.

Both parties must form a certain relationship of interest in order to truly radiate the influence of the Yunhai to Jin Civilization.

Then simply sell them the artillery they need most.

However, the maintenance of artillery is not as simple as firearms. A little oil on the firearm is enough. Artillery requires a lot of things, such as engine oil, wheel lubrication, and most importantly, artillery shells. It is absolutely impossible for Jin civilization to produce them.

This means that after the other party purchases these weapons, it will need the long-term resources provided by the Unkai to maintain them, thus forming a long-term dependence relationship.

This is real influence!

As for whether the sale of artillery will pose a threat to the Unkai, it is not a big problem for now.

After these days of eavesdropping, translation, and data analysis, the expert team believes that the Jin civilization is a relatively sane civilization.

Although he somewhat blindly worships the "Master Shenlong" in his mouth, in any case, his ideology is many times more correct than that of Nubi civilization. He is not neurotic and has difficulty communicating with civilization.

Moreover, Jin civilization is still trying to develop industry and attach importance to education, which is already quite remarkable.

In addition, the psychic shield can effectively resist artillery strikes, and the energy of artillery is difficult to compare with real nuclear bombs. Taking these considerations into account, this decision was made.

But will Jin Civilization swallow this sugar-coated bullet... They will!

First of all, the first point is that without practice, it is difficult for them to understand the truth that "maintenance costs are a larger expense"; the second point is that even if they know this, they will buy it because they really need it!

Seeing the photo of the artillery, the old emperor clenched the small jade bottle in his hand, which exuded a warmth.

He had an inexplicable premonition that the dragon's blood in the small jade bottle today would be lost again...

"Liu Xuwei, try our cannon." Lu Yiming waved his hand.

"yes!"

Liu Xuwei happily rolled out a cannon and installed ammunition.

There was a loud "boom", and the shells flew in a parabola to a distance that was beyond the reach of the eye.

Immediately afterwards, there was another "boom".

After the cannonball exploded, a lot of water splashed on the sea!

"Artillery, it is indeed artillery. It is more powerful than what we have seen before!" A minister beside him couldn't help scratching his beard, fascinated by the power of the cannon.

At this distance, we can already reach Qianlong Island, right?

The people of the Jin civilization couldn't help but feel a little desire. This thing has no effect in personal battles, but the war between two civilizations is too important. As long as it exists, just placing it on the coastline of Qianlong Island is a kind of deterrence!

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth, forced himself to hold his breath, and sat motionless on the stool.

He lamented in his heart that the Jin Empire was poor... When he encountered such a technological civilization, he had no other thoughts except poverty.

"It's really poverty..."

"How much does the artillery cost?" Zhao Yi asked.

"This price is easy to negotiate. As long as you bring out the magic elixir of youth from last time, we will provide cannons. How about one drop of the elixir in exchange for 10 cannons and 100 cannon shells as a gift. The price is very favorable." Lu Yiming Directly offering a preferential price made the envoy of Jin Civilization turn green with fear.

A drop of Shenlong's blood in exchange for 10 cannons?

This price seems acceptable... No, no, you have to buy alien flesh and blood, not cannons.

Of course, the old emperor quickly realized that this was just a negotiation tactic. If he made a counteroffer, he could still get more benefits.

"100 cannons are about the same..."

"One hundred units. You think the cannon is just scrap metal. It's impossible. 10 units are already very cheap. Forget it, let's put it aside for now."

When Lu Yiming saw them haggling haphazardly, he could only shake his head and continue to explain: "The photo shows a tricycle, a very good cargo-carrying tool that can be used manually."

"Xiao Liu, ride a tricycle over here."

"yes!"

The role of the tricycle is naturally self-evident. As a means of transportation, it can be used in many places. It can transport goods and travel in emergencies. It is much easier to use than human transportation.

If ancient people invented tricycles and bicycles, why would there be any need for riding horses? If the road conditions are good, it is no problem to ride a tricycle for 150 kilometers or 200 kilometers a day, but it is many times faster than a horse!

There is one ancient inn about 30 miles away. If you go faster and faster, the horse will have to rest after 30 miles. If you want to maintain high speed, you have to change horses. In fact, where is the so-called thousand-mile horse?

Unkai's experts also improved the tires of the tricycle so that it does not need to be inflated. Of course, it may be a little harder to ride...just a little bit.

But unfortunately, ancient civilizations were unable to imitate high-quality tricycles, because the bearings and chains required by the vehicles were relatively high-end forging technology.

The gear shaft transmission efficiency is generally 0.9-0.99, and the chain transmission efficiency is generally 0.88-0.99. It would be difficult for ancient people to build these things just by relying on the blacksmith's blacksmithing skills. Even if they could be built, the frictional resistance would be extremely high, making riding very difficult.

"General, you might as well try it. It's a very common means of transportation here."

Zhao Yi stepped forward and tried this kind of car, and he learned it without much effort.

The nearly two-meter tall man swallowed hard, imagining that after buying this kind of car, all the soldiers could train and ride to the battlefield.

"This is an electric car. The battery inside needs to be charged every year or two. The generator you bought last time can charge it. Xiao Liu, come get an electric car." Lu Yiming drew another photo.

Electric vehicles are still too high-end for the people of Jin Civilization, so it is a bit difficult for them to even try them.

Although Jin people are brave enough to try new things, they have no choice but to push back electric vehicles that they don’t understand at all.

They also know that if something is broken and cannot be repaired, it will be in vain if they buy it.

"It doesn't matter if electric cars don't...it doesn't matter."

"It's cotton clothing made from cotton, and we sell a lot of new clothing here."

"Well, let's exchange a drop of magic medicine for 20,000 pieces of clothes. How about this? Is this price fair? No more bargaining."

Lu Yiming held a piece of clothing in his hand and gave a price that he thought was fair.

According to the investigation of the reconnaissance plane, the human beings of the Jin civilization lived quite poor lives. It was not necessary to sell them weapons. Selling some goods that improved people's livelihood was also a good choice.

Back then, the Unkai developed carefreely for two years in the nightmare world. People planted so much cotton that the cloth reserves could not be used up.

Now with the development of science and technology, the citizens of Unkai and Hope have gradually higher requirements for quality of life.

People prefer special clothes made from golden baby silk.

Because this kind of clothing is of high quality, it can block the intrusion of supernatural forces to a certain extent and effectively prevent the ability to see through. Therefore, ordinary cotton-padded clothes are piled up in large quantities and are not very easy to sell.

Clothing, if stored for too long, will have a musty smell. Although it does not affect the use, there will still be some resentment in the hearts of the people. The longer they are stored, the less likely they are to be sold. It would be a good choice to simply make it cheaper now and sell it to the people of Jin.

But in the eyes of the people of Jin, a drop of dragon's blood can be exchanged for 20,000 pieces of clothing. This figure... is simply mind-numbing!

Twenty thousand pieces of clothing, this is too much.

Growing cotton means taking up land for food production. Land is limited and it is impossible for them to devote a large amount of area to growing cotton!

Food is the most important thing for the people. If you wear less clothes, you will not die. But if you eat less food, you will starve to death.

Therefore, most civilians in the Jin civilization did not pay much attention to clothes. Most people's clothes are sewn over and over again, mended over and over again, and worn for ten years. Many men don't even wear clothes at all and go out to work shirtless.

Now, a drop of Shenlong's blood can be exchanged for 20,000 pieces of clothing, which will bring unprecedented psychological impact, even stronger than the impact caused by firearms and cannons.

Because it really involves life, the livelihood issues among people, and things that everyone is closely related to.

The common people of Jin civilization did not want to wear better clothes, but they did not have enough productivity. Even some of the old emperor's own clothes were old clothes he had worn for many years.

Craftsmen can produce some clothes from animal leather, but how many pieces can be produced every year using leather?

"Hey, this is the difference..."

“The gap brought about by technology is too big.”

At this moment, the old emperor felt the huge gap between the rich and the poor. He casually threw out 20,000 pieces of clothes, which showed that clothes were not considered by scientific and technological civilization at all.

"In this way, the other party's wealth is greater than we imagined."

If a civilization that can throw out 20,000 pieces of clothing at once will the people's lives be worse? The destiny of scientific and technological civilization is so strong.

"Technology, technology..."

Technology, how wonderful!

Not only the old emperor, but also everyone else in the Jin civilization had a strong desire. At this moment, the ambassadors from Jin Civilization all became determined to develop science and technology!

They themselves have already understood the benefits of developing industry, but at this moment, this mentality has become more determined.

This is a yearning, a firm yearning for a better life!

This is human nature, no one likes to be weak, everyone yearns to be stronger.

Everyone wants a better life, not a life of fear!

As long as there is a ruler with some ambition, he hopes that the people can live a better life...

As a result, the next second, Lu Yiming saw their complicated expressions and couldn't help laughing again.

He lamented in his heart that even with the absolute advantage of intelligence, each link carefully designed by internal experts was still very effective...

Starting from a psychological point of view, a series of links were designed to arouse complex emotions even if the other party was on guard.

In the eyes of the old emperor, his smile was both kind and terrifying, like a devil that bewitched people's hearts!

Sure enough, Lu Yiming said extremely terrifying content, like the language of the devil.

"Dear Jin Civilization... We also sell one of the most precious commodities here...knowledge! We have the knowledge of two industrial revolutions, all of which can be sold!"

"If you purchase this item, we will allow you to visit our shelter, allow you to come to us to learn knowledge, and send relevant experts to provide some industrial assistance."

These ministers who had just become determined to develop were suddenly stunned.

"...Yes, we will help build some factories so that you can have the production capacity of simple equipment and be able to produce some steel, cement, fertilizers, etc."

"Of course, if you want to purchase this service, the price your civilization needs to pay may be relatively high... The price we offer here is..." He stretched out a few fingers, "In this way... we need a items.”

The whole world seemed to have stopped moving.

The sound was a little hard to hear.

This guy is an evil god!

The tempting evil god!

The old emperor's pupils dilated and he looked at Lu Yiming in disbelief, selling knowledge...

They actually sell knowledge, sell knowledge that has become a scientific and technological civilization...how dare they? Why do they dare to do this?

stem cell? !

What are stem cells?

Do they already know about the existence of Shenlong? !

The heart is beating like crazy! !

A loud "bang" brought the emperor's thoughts back to reality, and his ears buzzed. It was the sound of something falling.

"Sir...sir, it's not good!!" A panicked voice came from my ears.

"Prime Minister Zhang fainted."

The envoys from the Jin Empire were in an uproar. Someone fell straight off his stool. It was an old minister who had a heart attack!

Lu Yiming was also stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Doctor, doctor?!"

Fifteen hours later, these Jin civilization humans returned to their base camp on a thousand-ton sailing ship loaded with cargo.

The expressions of these people were still in a trance. They were leaning on the railings one by one, feeling as if they were just waking up from a dream.

Including the minister who suffered a heart attack, he was rescued by the doctors of the Unkai.

He sat blankly in the wheelchair, his expression was not very good, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Before leaving, the Yunhai ship also gave away some quick-acting Jiuxin pills for free, which was enough to last for several years, which made the envoy of the Jin Empire feel embarrassed.

If it weren't for the doctors on the Unkai, the prime minister would probably have died at the negotiation table. This kind of thing cannot be blamed on Yunhai, but because he was too excited.

They were all silent, silent...

Different from the hesitation, hesitation and fear when they set out, when they came back, the Jin people were quite satisfied with this transaction, thinking that the result of the transaction could not be better...

The friendliness of the Scientific and Technological Civilization Yunhai also exceeded their expectations. After all, it even used high-tech medical skills to save a person.

In their time, except for the magical medicine of Shenlong blood, heart disease was almost a fatal disease, but it was actually saved.

The things they bought were also quite good, and they were all in urgent need.

On the other hand, these people have more complex thoughts and do not have the excitement of buying good things.

Because technological civilization has presented a huge temptation that they can hardly imagine!

Buy knowledge…

Buy knowledge.

Do you agree or not?

They feel embarrassed.

After agreeing, they will be able to gain huge benefits, and maybe they can become a real technological civilization!

But they also have to pay a certain price... This price sounds a bit strange, even a bit treacherous, because it is not the humans of the Jin civilization who pay the price, but the dragons...

The price Shenlong paid was not too great from a human perspective, but it seemed a bit insulting...

Well, what people need is not the kind of serum that flows out of wounds, but the real Shenlong stem cells!

This kind of thing...how to say it?

Even the old emperor himself was full of hesitation and could not make up his mind.

"Alas." He sighed heavily, "What can we do? Stem cells, that adult's stem cells? Alas, what can we do?"

"What do you think?"

The people below were silent for a long time, but General Zhao Yi said quietly: "Your Majesty, if you really want to do it, it's better not to let Wang Shilang and the others know. It's not too late to let them know when the deal is done."

In the Jin Empire, there were reformers and conservatives. The ambassador team this time was mostly reformers.

The Shilang Wang mentioned by Zhao Yi is a backbone of the conservatives.

Of course, there were also a few conservative ministers in the team. After hearing Zhao Yi's conversation, their mouths trembled a few times but they didn't say much... After all, this matter was too big!
