The world enters the age of myth

"This City of Clouds is so rich!" Seeing this bustling scene, Prime Minister Zhang was speechless: "Isn't it said that the price of metal is very expensive? How come screws only cost a dime each? Such a low price is too outrageous !How to make money."

The Giant Turtle Kingdom is in the steam age and has some means of metal processing. The processing of screws is very laborious for them. The skilled craftsmen use molds and spend a day to produce hundreds of screws.

The key is that this thing consumes very quickly. Just nailing a piece of furniture will cost dozens of screws.

"Prime Minister, how much do these screws weigh? They just need to recycle a little scrap steel and they can make a lot of screws. How much does a box of screws weigh? After all, it should still be profitable, and it's a huge profit." A person who knew better The Minister of Science and Technology said.

"A ton of steel costs 10,000 yuan, and a screw is less than 5 grams. A ton of 200,000 pieces can be sold for 20,000 yuan, doubling the profit."

"Actually, it's not too expensive." Another minister shook his head and said, "Even if the profit is doubled, it's not expensive."

"If we process the screws ourselves, the cost of each screw will be more than one yuan..."

After all, time and labor costs are costs. Machines for screw processing are not that easy to invent.

The emperor listened to their discussion and fell silent. The industrial capabilities were so far behind that it was really incomparable.

The group continued walking forward.

The fifth exhibition hall displays a variety of electronic products, including mobile phones, tablets and even televisions.

This planet is affected by the Silent Realm, and most electronic goods can only be used indoors. Outdoors, most mobile phones cannot be used. Even if the signal is strengthened, you can only receive simple messages such as text messages at most.

The best-selling product here is actually a computer for online learning.

Online learning is not only useful for students. It can be used by all kinds of craftsmen, craftsmen, and businessmen. Even if it is not convenient, it can also be used to learn Chinese. Smart businessmen will choose to buy some computers and then rent them to civilians in their country. Not only can they make a small fortune, but they can also improve the general knowledge level of the people.

But electronic products are already incomprehensible to the Giant Turtle Civilization. Their understanding of technology is limited to the early days of the second industrial revolution. They can understand airplanes and cars, but they really can't understand electronic products.

The Giant Turtle Kingdom is a very conservative civilization.

They won't buy anything they don't understand.

The sixth exhibition hall is the core consulate of the City of Clouds, with many government staff. Most important deals are negotiated here.

Along the way, as a "knowledgeable" civilization, the Giant Turtle was filled with excitement while still pretending to be nonchalant.

The young emperor has long lost the pride he had at the beginning. No matter how young he is, he still knows deeply that what they have witnessed so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Technological civilization is much more powerful than them, and just the large number of weapons on display shocked them.

But as the emperor, he could only bite the bullet and suppress his words.

Prime Minister Zhang said in the spiritual communication: "Your Majesty, this must be the first time you have encountered this kind of civilization that is far stronger than ours."

The emperor was silent, not knowing what to say. He just clenched his fists quietly. His heart was not at peace. How could a young man be willing to admit defeat? Even if he knew he was inferior, he would never say it directly.

Prime Minister Zhang said: "...Fortunately, the relationship was not broken at the beginning. Hey, it would also be good to give a giant turtle as a gift."

The young emperor couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "But do we really want the other party to board the ship for inspection?"

"If we want to survive here for a long time, it should be necessary; if we don't join this alliance, it doesn't matter."

But, do they really want to give up on this world? Even the emperor himself was very hesitant. It was not easy for them to get all the way to this point. Because of face, they gave up this opportunity and waited until the year of the monkey and the horse to have a better opportunity?

Do we have to wander precariously for another twenty years? !

At this moment, the old Heavenly Master suddenly said: "My lords, Your Excellency Xuanwu just brought me a message... It quietly traveled around the surrounding islands and did not sense the breath of the evil god, so all the countries in this alliance , indeed no one has any act of worshiping evil gods."

"This alliance is hostile to the evil god. They did not lie. Boarding the ship for inspection should be a necessary procedure, not deliberately making things difficult."

After hearing this, some of the surrounding veterans were not surprised but delighted, "If this is really the case, a more stringent treaty would be normal... This must be a safe area, a safe area where we can live for a long time!"

When talking about this, Prime Minister Zhang became excited first.

No matter how well-mannered they are, how could they not be excited when faced with such a big event? !

They had been wandering on the Yang River for more than twenty years. How many people had died in each disaster. They kept fighting, didn't they just want to find a continent where they could live?

Even, they don't need a continent, they just need a safe enough world!

Even if you are drifting on the ocean.

They raise so many giant tortoises that they can barely survive as long as they live on the backs of the tortoises... Of course, this kind of living situation cannot be compared with owning a piece of land.

"It would be best if we had an island. Yunhai Civilization can accommodate so many ancient civilizations, so why can't it accommodate us? But the prerequisite is that we must abide by the rules here."

"I think the rules here are not particularly outrageous."

Listening to the discussion of these ministers, the young emperor was shaken. It sounded a bit aggrieved to board the ship for inspection, but it was only once. After one inspection, there is no need for a second inspection.

I lost a little face, but I didn’t lose a piece of meat!

The benefits gained from comparison are so great that this kind of frustration can almost be ignored!

And if other civilizations come outside the Yang River and also want to enter this world, they will also support it. The Sea of ​​Clouds Alliance will board the ship and inspect it to confirm its safety...

"It is also necessary to accept more civilizations and board the ship for inspection!"

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I can understand this approach.

"Please, everyone, ahead is our big conference hall." Lu Yiming couldn't hear the conversations of these people in their hearts, so he stretched out his hand and invited.

With this feeling of worrying about gains and losses, the group walked into the conference room and sat down at the large round table.

This carved round table, about ten meters in diameter, was imported from the Yuzhu Kingdom and carved with elegant and dignified patterns by carpenters from the Jin Kingdom. In terms of craftsmanship, ancient craftsmen were much better than modern people.

There are exquisite fruits and tea on the table.

In terms of etiquette, no matter which civilization it treats, City of Clouds strives to be the best.

Prime Minister Zhang of the giant tortoise civilization first gave a small gift that he had prepared a long time ago, "specific plans for raising giant tortoises." He compiled this information into a manuscript and handed it to Lu Yiming, also bringing A professional breeder. This keeper will be here for a while.

The giant tortoise is a very sturdy creature that does not require too much careful care. Whether it is meat, food or plankton, it will eat everything, even swill, and will hardly get sick. They like to be exposed in sunny places. Even if food is scarce, they will not starve to death through photosynthesis while basking in the sun.

They have a long lifespan, a giant tortoise can live for thousands of years, and it takes hundreds of years to reach maturity. The turtles that the Giant Turtle Kingdom had raised for 20 years only gave birth to one baby turtle, and the turtle was defeated by the Sea of ​​Clouds.

As long as it doesn't live in a nuclear sewage area, it can take care of itself.

The only drawback is that it can't control itself and is very greedy for monster meat.

If you eat too much monster meat, you will easily mutate and die.

Their three turtle ships were all made by hollowing out the flesh and blood of giant turtles after they accidentally died. Otherwise, the giant tortoise civilization will not easily kill the giant tortoises it raises.

During long-term breeding, they also figured out how much monster meat a giant turtle could eat every day.

The bigger the turtle, the more it can eat; the smaller the turtle, the more careful it needs to be to prevent it from eating randomly.

Within the acceptable range, it is beneficial to eat some monster meat, which can enhance its physique.

"Thank you very much. We are currently taming that turtle. Thank you for your gift."

Lu Yiming accepted this gift very readily. These are precious wealth of experience. Even if they were discovered by ancient people, they have reduced many detours for the Yunhai Ship.

Moreover, it is equivalent to the other party's declaration of peaceful coexistence.

However, he did not have time to write ink for too long. After everyone sat down, he said: "Messengers from the Giant Turtle Kingdom have also roughly visited the seven civilizations of our Cloud Sea Alliance. Our main theme here is free trade and peace. Let’s live together and develop together.”

"To be honest, before all the land is distributed, we don't mind more friendly civilizations living here. We don't mind if we all work together to resist the enemy and make progress. We all belong to the human race and will live in this disaster until the end. It’s not easy now, so it’s always good to give more people a chance to survive.”

Having said that, all giant turtles know in their hearts that technological civilization sells islands for the sake of the heritage of each civilization, and it is impossible to give them away for free.

Who can have too much of something like land? Morality, justice, and stance are really weak compared to real interests.

Lu Yiming did not expect his words to convince them, and said: "We are a technological civilization, and we also hope that your country's specialties can add to the foundation of the entire alliance."
