The world enters the age of myth

Before departure, since we already knew that civilization existed here, the Unkai also brought some precious metals as gifts for civilization exchanges.

The four major ancient civilizations all regarded gold as a valuable item. Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Persia also regarded gold as a rare metal in an era when communication was inconvenient. This is one of the very rare special consensuses.

Most of the civilizations on Yanghe also have this consensus.

The result is surprising, the price of precious metals is quite valuable! The price of gold is 300 yuan per gram!

The price of silver is about 50 yuan per gram, and many civilizations need these precious metals. It is very easy to sell and the price is very strong. As long as someone sells it, someone will buy it.

According to this price calculation, one kilogram of gold bars is 300,000!

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, feeling a little curious and confused about this fact.

I don’t know why these civilizations need so much precious metals...

The Yunhai still has a lot of reserves of gold and silver resources. It originally transported about 40 tons of gold bars in the Cursed Continent, with an equivalent price of about 12 billion. As for silver, it is a very important industrial metal, and its reserves are even larger, about 540 tons.

Of course, I currently only carry 20 kilograms of gold and 100 kilograms of silver, which is worth almost 15 million.

Faced with people's behavior of selling gold and silver, Bollier's civilized diplomat seemed to be very excited. He hardly counter-offered, but instead increased the price by 10% and settled the transaction at a price of 17 million.

"After thinking about it, it must have something to do with the sacrifice, otherwise there is no need to buy gold and silver..." Li Yao was quite puzzled by this situation.

"Many precious sacrificial vessels are made of gold, such as the masks and scepters in Egypt, the Buddha statues in India, and the three gifts given by Christians when worshiping Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which symbolize kings, priests, and prophets respectively. . On the contrary, they are the ritual vessels of ancient my country, mainly jade and bronze."

There are also various arms and equipment. Lu Yiming does not want to sell high-end arms or high-standard technological equipment. It is not a good thing to expose his technological strength. So after thinking about it for a long time, I only sold some ordinary pistols and rifles, and some ammunition.

Finally, I sold spare speedboats, diving suits, etc., materials with some technical content but not too high. These goods were still very popular in ancient civilizations.

In this way, the expenses of 35 million were finally scraped together.

This expense is an astronomical figure for an individual, but for the entire civilization of the Sea of ​​Clouds, it is really just a drop in the bucket, and it is hardly a huge price.

Jin Wenming also sold gold and silver. They also sold some dragon scales, a large amount of grain, and a few parrots with certain translation abilities, so that they could stumblingly collect the expenses.

Of course, they still owed Bollier Civilization hundreds of tons of grain. After all, they didn't transport the grain on this trip, so they could pay on credit.

"Your civilized barracks is still in the Yanghe River... No problem, no problem. You just need to pay off the credit within one month, otherwise interest will be calculated. It is calculated at 3% per month. If you pay it back half a year If you don’t know, we will come to collect the property in person.”

Bollier's civilized diplomat seemed very happy to have done such a big deal.

Lu Yiming frowned slightly.

Anyway, the other party's expression looked very strange, as if he was not afraid of Yunhai and Jin Wenming, and seemed to be more powerful than them...

He was cautious and signed the agreement with the name "Lu Erming" randomly, for fear that he would be tricked if he wrote his real name. Anyway, agreements are meant to be torn up, and no one cares about its reliability.

The Bollier diplomat completed all the formalities and said excitedly: "Then, this island is yours! Please rest assured that due to its remote geographical location, no one will take possession of it rashly."

"We will also free up a piece of land for your civilization near the central square. The initial area is 300 square meters. This part of the area is free. You have to build the house above. It cannot exceed 6 floors and cannot More than 30 meters in height."

"If you want to expand your trade area, you need to buy it from us. It's not very expensive, 1,000 yuan per square meter. But it can only be expanded to a maximum of 1,000 square meters... Our territory here is also limited, and there may be more in the future. How many civilizations will come here? Haha, in the future, our place will definitely be more prosperous."

Lu Yiming nodded: "Please excuse me and take us to that island."

"OK, no problem……"

The diplomat quickly summoned a group of people and led them to the target island.

600 kilometers is still quite a distance. It took almost 35 hours to travel. Lu Yiming finally saw his own island...

There is a lush coconut tree above, with almost no trace of artificial construction. Captain Li Yao, who has a keen eye, even saw crabs crawling on the beach!

On one side of the island is a shallow water area, where corals and various fish on the seabed can be vaguely seen. Unprecedented biological density, as if there really are no disasters in this world.

The dragons of the Jin civilization were fishing crazily in the water and eating seafood until they were full... They really didn't sense any danger and started playing with each other in the ocean. Obviously, they also know that this is their future home.

On the other side of the island, the water depth increases significantly, as steep as a cliff. Two kilometers away is the deep water area, which is more than 400 meters, just enough to accommodate the entire shelter.

4 kilometers away, the water depth even exceeds 600 meters.

"It's such a strange place. The slope changes so much. But... this island is not bad! The Bollier civilization did not lie." Lu Yiming looked at the sun above his head. The sun was very strong and the temperature was about 30 degrees Celsius.

He squinted at his future home.

Perhaps, this world is the opportunity for the Unkai to truly rise?

As for the dangers here... there is a high probability that a certain civilization is making small moves. It may be the Bolier Civilization, or it may be one of the more than 20 ancient civilizations. However, it has not yet been investigated clearly.

As long as it takes 10 years to survive here peacefully, no, as long as it takes 5 years to digest the information at hand, the entire shelter will definitely become stronger.

Nearly a hundred soldiers and geography experts carefully measured the area of ​​the island, which was almost the same as the number in the agreement.

A geography expert whispered: "Army, the highest point of this island is 70 meters higher than the sea level. At night, the island's area will be submerged by the tide. But during the day, after the tide recedes, it is indeed an agreement The numbers on it.”

"How much will it be submerged?" Lu Yiming asked.

"About 15% of the area. The problem is not too big. We just need to put some embankments on the coastline and it will not be flooded."

"Okay, let's not worry about their little moves." Lu Yiming nodded.

Bollier's civilized diplomatic team was quite satisfied with the other party, but also seemed a little tired.

The leading diplomat bent down and saluted, and said: "Since both parties have no objections, this island is yours. If there is nothing else to do, we will take the lead to leave... If you have resource needs, you can also trade. market for transactions.”

"By the way, the sea area with a radius of 10 kilometers is also yours! Within the 10 kilometers of sea area, you can expel ships of other civilizations at will."

"Of course, other civilized islands also have such regulations. When encountering other small islands, please be sure to pay attention to this. Please do not approach without the owner's permission to avoid triggering a series of disputes."

Lu Yiming nodded, smiled and said: "Thank you for accompanying me along the way. Thank you very much."

After watching them leave, the group breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's great, it's great to have a piece of land that's relatively safe to go to! Although it is small, it has all five internal organs, including fertile soil, forests, and rocks. It’s so nice...

Lu Yiming stepped on the sand on the beach and asked, "What do you think of this island? I didn't find any danger during the exploration."

"The danger has not been discovered. This island is completely pristine, with insects and crabs extremely active... But it is too small, really too small. It can only be used as a tourist attraction at most. A bigger tsunami , maybe the place will be submerged. The highest point is only seventy meters, which is really not safe. We have to build some seawalls on the beach..."

"We can also build a temporary shelter here, which can allow travel during normal times and provide shelter in emergencies."

Just as everyone was discussing it vigorously, Li Yao rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel that... this world here, including the Bolir civilization, is a bit weird."

"Under the surface order, there seems to be something hidden... I don't know why, but during my visits these past few days, I always have an unnatural feeling... I feel frightened from time to time."

"They also bought gold and silver...it's a bit baffling."

The Bolir civilization is a civilization with a Western ideology, and it is possible to believe in religion.

In Western civilization, the value of gold is very high because gold symbolizes God and glory, representing the perfection of the divine person of a being.

"This Bolier civilization, how should I put it? There is always a feeling of disharmony. It does seem to be a technological civilization, but what should I say..."

Lu Yiming also agreed with Li Yao's point of view. He thought for a long time and said: "I feel like they are a bit neurotic and deliberately show off their power to us. They have to show off their knowledge about cars, proteins and so on. It seems It’s like I can’t control my emotions.”

"Even those civilizations that obviously support evil gods don't have this sense of weirdness..."
