The world enters the age of myth

The old emperor and Zhao Yi exchanged glances with each other.

Since Lord Shenlong has promised this, what is there to worry about?

As long as the deal can be completed, done, and can bring huge benefits, these old stubborns will eventually be able to accept it.

Just like the previous sales of dragon blood and dragon scale armor, didn’t the old diehards finally accept it?

"...This is the dragon scale given by Lord Shenlong. You should keep it." The old emperor handed over the dragon scale in his arms.

The two chief priests quickly took it. It weighed dozens of kilograms and was heavy.

He comforted him again: "Lord Shenlong said that its health will get better soon, and it will also watch our exploration of the new continent... don't worry."

The two chief priests nodded quickly.

They were a little suspicious. It was not the time for Shenlong to change its scales. Shenlong's injury had improved, so why did it fall off its scales again? It feels a little strange when you think about it.

However, when they thought about it, it was a fact that Shenlong improved. They saw it with their own eyes, but they didn't take it to heart.

As the old emperor and his party successfully returned from the ancestral hall, the loud bells of "dang dang dang" rang again.

The sacrificial ceremony ended grandly with the worship of the common people.

Everyone still looked very excited and gathered together to chat. For poor people, if everyone gets a piece of clothing for no reason, what a fortune it is!

Many people only have a few tattered clothes in their homes.

And this time, no matter men, women, old or young, everyone was assigned one piece. Some large families may have more than a dozen new clothes...

It’s as happy as the Chinese New Year...

These people were not only grateful to the emperor, but also to the dragon. The Dragon King Temple next to the ancestral hall was packed with people...

In fact, their gratitude was not too wrong. After all, it was the blood and scales of the dragon that gave them these clothes. They were really grateful.

Not long after, the old emperor returned to the palace with a large number of courtiers to discuss future cooperation with technological civilization and the exploration of the New World. As the destination approached, there were more and more discussions in this regard.

However, he secretly found an opportunity and quietly ordered General Zhao Yi to deliver the goods quickly.

The so-called "stem cells" must be fresh!

The Sea of ​​Clouds had told them a thousand and ten thousand times, "It must be frozen and transported as soon as possible." Naturally, they remembered it.

If it's not fresh, the transaction will be void!

If the meat is really rotten, even if he is the emperor, he will not be brave enough to ask Shenlong to provide some more flesh and blood.

General Zhao took a deep breath. As the emperor's family member, he naturally had real power. He often drove large ships and went out to sea for fishing and patrolling.

"I'm going to return the equipment lent to us by technological civilization!"

This time the sails were set, not many people became suspicious.

He personally led people to drive the sailboat and transported the goods.

As for the Unkai, the first batch of gifts was prepared as quickly as possible - a small iron-making blast furnace!

They are about to obtain the Shenlong cells that they have longed for. Yunhai will definitely not be stingy, and they may even strengthen cooperation in the future. This small iron-making blast furnace is the first step to show sincerity.

This blast furnace is embedded in a small cargo ship, which was once an industrial ship. The mass of the entire ship is about 1,400 tons. The effective furnace capacity of the small blast furnace is about 16 cubic meters. Under the training of skilled workers, the maximum capacity per day is Able to smelt 25 tons of steel!

There was a reason why this industrial ship was given as a gift. Such a result was decided after detailed discussions at a high-level meeting.

First of all, it is an old product that has been used for many years.

The smelted steel has a relatively high carbon content, and its quality cannot keep up with industrial needs.

Nowadays, the quality requirements for steel in the entire shelter are getting higher and higher, and the value of this small blast furnace seems slightly lower. After all, it is difficult to smelt ultra-high-quality materials. Most of what is smelted can only be called "iron". It is very difficult to smelt "steel".

Really good steel still relies on high-power electric arc furnaces, which use "electricity" to make steel instead of coal.

Second, even if the blast furnace is dismantled and used as raw materials, it seems a bit wasteful. Dismantling this thing will also consume manpower and material resources, and you can only get some scrap steel.

There is still a lot of steel stored in the Kunlun Mountains, and it is about to arrive in the New World. There is no need to spend manpower to dismantle it.

So, since the food is tasteless and it is a pity to abandon it, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and give this ship to Jin Civilization.

A blast furnace with a daily output of more than 20 tons can be said to be infinitely valuable to Jin civilization!

It can also be regarded as the beginning of friendship between the two parties. After all, the New World is coming soon, and you have to give the other party some benefits. Only when the two parties have a relationship of interest can they strengthen cooperation.

"... Shenlong stem cells, these are Shenlong stem cells!" Some biologists were going crazy with excitement on the destroyer. They brought a full set of microscope equipment and tried to identify the results as soon as possible.

It's like the glory of a fanatical pilgrim facing the Holy Mountain.

Lu Yiming was also in a good mood, chatting and laughing with his companions, and looking forward to General Zhao's reaction.

"The ship itself is 1,600 tons, and no matter how bad it is, it is worth 1,600 tons of steel, so as a return gift, it is definitely enough."

"Yes, they will definitely be shocked!"

Another expert shook his head and sighed: "Hey, the emperors and ministers of Jin civilization, even the dragon, always thought that after they achieved industrialization, they would be able to rely on themselves and no longer need to rely on us. It's just a pity that he will We found that the more industrialized we are, the more assistance we need, and the sunk costs will become larger and larger, making it harder and harder to give up..."

"We still have a lot of shortcomings, let alone them..."

How could industrialization be so easy?

After the founding of the Xia Kingdom, hundreds of millions of people lived frugally, tightened their belts, and sacrificed the interests of farmers. It took decades to gradually complete capital accumulation and realize industrialization. This was in another era. with some assistance from the superpowers.

Now, a mere Jin Empire with a population of 13,000 wants to complete the Industrial Revolution independently? It’s simply whimsical!

The more advanced production lines they get, the more they will feel their inability to do anything, and the more they need assistance from the Unkai, this is certain.

After talking about this, Lu Yiming spread his hands and nodded in agreement: "Do they have coal? They don't. They don't have oil, and they don't even have the amount of iron ore."

"If a part of the machine breaks down, can they replace it? Of course they can't... Can't it be done by manual polishing? Time and efficiency are completely unacceptable."

"The industrial chain is incomplete and there are not enough machines."

"Even if they find a new continent and discover resources, do they use shovels to mine?"

When Lu Yiming said this, the big man Guo Weiqiang standing next to him couldn't help but giggled "hehehehe". He didn't understand this, but he also knew that Yunhai must have made money.

That dragon, including the old emperor, no matter how smart it is, would never have thought that the more it develops, the greater its sunk costs will be, and the more it will be controlled by the Yunhai.

"Lao Lu, you are so evil!" Liu Xuwei couldn't help but shudder.

"What the hell, it's not my idea...how can you blame me?" Lu Yiming waved his hands hastily, he couldn't bear the term "criminal conspiracy".

Controlling some small countries through the industrial chain is a common practice among earth civilizations, and now it is just copied.

"Of course, we don't need to exploit them too much. Cooperation is a win-win choice. If we eat meat, we will also let them take a sip of soup."

"Jin Civilization still has great potential for development. Their land utilization area can be further increased. If they build a few buildings, the effective area will increase. In this way, more factories can be opened. The people are also more diligent. The most important thing is that they have not been The evil god controls the spirit. It would also be quite good if it can serve as a raw material supply base for the rear."

"Moreover, we don't have to worry about the livelihood issues of the people over there. Whether their lives are good or bad has no moral burden on us."

"That's true... the endurance of the humans over there is far greater than ours. As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, it won't be a big problem."

The Yunhai Hao really does not want to continuously exploit the people of the Jin Empire. After the two sides strengthen cooperation, the Jin Empire can also drink some soup. No matter what, the living standards of the people of Jin Civilization will be greatly improved. .

However, as living conditions improved, Jin civilization became even more inseparable from the Yunhai Hao. From simplicity to luxury, from luxury to simplicity, enjoy a good life, who wants to live a bad life? The ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is easy to decline, but very difficult to rise.

"Army, their fleet is coming." At this moment, Li Yao, who was in charge of the investigation, suddenly said.

The group stopped their excited discussion.

I saw the sailing ship from a distance, facing the sea breeze, with bright flags hanging on the mast.

Ten minutes later, the two sides slowly approached.

General Zhao once again took a boat, and several soldiers behind him carried a large refrigerator into the boat.

Lu Yiming waved his hand, indicating to put down the ladder.

These Jin people finally brought the refrigerator up.

Their expressions looked very serious. The refrigerator only weighed less than a hundred kilograms, but it was worth thousands of gold!

Even the Jin people are a little doubtful whether the Yunhai will fulfill its promise... The weight of this promise is too heavy, heavier than Mount Tai!

What if Unkai breaks the contract?

Even if you commit suicide, you can't apologize to Shenlong.

Therefore, they did not dare to hand over the refrigerator rashly before getting substantial benefits.
