The world enters the age of myth

If these 800,000 people join the City of Clouds, they will not only solve the problem of underpopulation, but also increase the fertility rate!

The newly added population will have a stable environment, their living conditions will become richer, and their willingness to have children will definitely be higher than that of the original common people.

It can also dilute a considerable number of immigrants!

The cultures of both sides are of the same origin, so there won't be any big immigration problems at all. After all, the general thinking of the people still regards themselves as compatriots in the Xia Kingdom. Everyone is originally from the same country, and it is naturally a good thing to have a more prosperous population.

"Assuming that this fleet has 800,000 people, plus the current 320,000 in the City of Clouds, that's 1.12 million people! Calculated with an annual fertility rate of 3%, there will be more than 30,000 more children a year. This population size is quite impressive! "

"As more scientific researchers join, the speed of scientific research will be further accelerated!"

With the addition of various ancient civilizations, the foundation of the City of Clouds has increased rapidly, but more problems have arisen. There are too few high-end scientific researchers. There are many supernatural phenomena that are not studied by human hands. In fact, these items have the potential to be explored and developed...

With this idea in mind, Lu Yiming vaguely stated that he wanted to buy some items belonging to his compatriots.

No matter what, it’s never wrong to give it a try.

This was not a big deal, and the giant turtle man readily agreed.

"No problem, it's just some old machines..." Prime Minister Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Can you tell me about the living conditions of that technological civilization? To be honest, we and that technological civilization probably escaped from the same world." Lu Yiming asked again. Anyway, the giant turtle man could not have predicted that. They have the idea of ​​​​looking for their compatriots.

"They...can be considered a relatively powerful civilization." Prime Minister Zhang paused and recounted the scene at that time.

In fact, it was just a very ordinary encounter.

The two parties contacted each other cautiously and were wary of each other. After some transactions, they left each other.

"...The other party's boat is very big, and it is covered with a layer of bark-like material. At first glance, I thought it was a boat made of wood. This layer of bark should be some disguise."

"...We had a friendly exchange."

"But the other side's soldiers are indeed not very strong, not as powerful as yours."

What Prime Minister Zhang means is that the two sides once had a friendly "discussion", but the scientific and technological civilization actually failed. The other side's soldiers were not very good at individual combat capabilities.

Lu Yiming sighed, this fleet is not doing well!

In fact, even if the Hope of the past encountered the Giant Turtle Civilization, its individual combat capabilities would not be as good as those of the Giant Turtle Civilization. Hope has mastered psychic skills, but the psychic strength of a single individual is only 3,000, which is not too high.

There are only a few people who do well like them.

…

During the subsequent negotiations, the visiting delegation from the Giant Turtle Civilization finally made up their mind.

They want to survive here for the long term!

Boarding the ship for inspection or something... well, come to think of it, it doesn't matter at all!

Even the young emperor realized that with the huge gap in strength between the two sides, it was impossible for the giant turtle civilization to go to war with all civilizations, and there was no way to subvert the rules here. If you want to live here for a long time, you must compromise.

Who wouldn't want to have a place to live?

And they have a huge appetite. If they want to buy, they have to buy a big island!

100 square kilometers!

This is also the largest island near the central island. It has a high forest coverage area and fertile soil. There is also a medium-sized fish farm nearby, which can catch many fish.

There are a total of 50,000 people in their giant turtle country, which is quite a lot. When you are still relatively wealthy, buying a larger site is the most important thing.

What if more civilizations come in the future, and the supply of land may become tight?

Lu Yiming was shocked when he heard such a big deal. He didn't expect the giant turtle civilization to have such a big appetite, but he was happy afterwards. The more land the other party bought, the more he would pay.

These are all earned in vain. If you don’t earn them, you won’t earn them in vain!

He quickly summoned a professional negotiating team to talk to these visiting envoys.

The entire negotiation process took three full days.

The two sides go back and forth, and the whole process of intrigue goes without saying.

Lu Yiming was not good at business matters, and he did not personally participate in negotiations. He only listened in and watched them fuss over everything. He was also exhausted and almost fell asleep several times. This kind of long-term negotiation is so painful, it is simply more tiring than becoming a ceramic giant.

The giant tortoise civilization has a rich heritage. Most of the miscellaneous supernatural items are purchased from other civilizations, such as spiritual rice, heavenly silk, etc. The quality is not too high, but the advantage is the large output and variety.

But an island of one hundred square kilometers is not a small amount, and you must consume your real wealth before you can buy it.

So they handed over a total of 83 valuable supernatural items! 83 kinds, well, although the value of most items is not very good, the quantity can completely make up for the quality.

In order to buy this island, in addition to all kinds of messy supernatural items, the giant turtle civilization sold two giant turtles, one male and one female, and a ready-made turtle boat!

Plus 100 places to learn from the psychic beast Xuanwu!

For them, the study quota is their biggest trump card and their most precious heritage.

The giant turtle civilization guarantees that one hundred places can learn extremely valuable supernatural knowledge from Xuanwu.

Until the negotiations were completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

While the giant turtle man was satisfied, he felt a sense of pain. They even sold two giant turtles and one turtle boat. Can you not feel the pain?

"Prime Minister, how can we sell our heritage and the number of places to learn from Xuanwu?" The young emperor was a little dissatisfied with his heartache, "You also directly sold a hundred places! Even we don't have so many heavenly masters here! "

Zhang Chenglian hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it is not so easy to learn from Xuanwu. Of a hundred places, only one or two, or even none, can succeed in the end. You also know the difficulties involved, we giant turtles Over the years, thousands of babies are born every year in China, and these babies have all passed qualification tests."

"But in the end, only five Celestial Masters were born in so many years. So a hundred places, although it sounds like a lot, is actually not that. If the children in the City of Clouds fail to learn, it has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, it can save a lot of money. cost……"

When Prime Minister Zhang said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "An island is really too expensive. Even if we have accumulated it for so many years, it seems quite strenuous. If we can save a sum, we have to save a sum. Otherwise, we will have to sell a turtle." Boat..."

The larger the island, the more expensive it will naturally be. An island of 100 square kilometers, plus the living area of ​​the original giant turtle ship, can survive a lot of people, even two million people are possible. The Giant Turtle Civilization now only has 50,000 people, and the population will increase 20 times. It will take a long time.

It's quite worth it.

"And after we buy an island in the future, we have to find ways to trade with this technological civilization for a long time. For example, learning qualifications can be sold for a long time... You have also seen that many countries here have their own special industries, and ours It’s really difficult to find an industry with enough advantages.”

Most of the heritage of the Giant Turtle Civilization was traded from other countries, and it was more than enough. Although their national power was strong, if they wanted to create real characteristics, they had to take a long-term approach. Otherwise, once a large amount of investment is made, it will not be able to compete with other countries, and it will be miserable.

"One quota is two million, which is a very good supplement. The price may even be raised."

"Do you know how many things two million can buy? 100 places is 200 million. It is difficult for them to learn too much."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, feeling a little more comfortable.

He had learned from Xuanwu, but it was a pity... He was a prince, and if his qualifications were not good, he just wasn't good at it. If he couldn't learn it, he just couldn't learn it. This was not negotiable.

The knowledge taught by Xuanwu is too difficult.

He felt a little excited when he thought about the embarrassing situation where the elites sent by the Unkai were unable to learn Xuanwu's skills.

Finally able to win back a victory!

But what Prime Minister Zhang said next made him dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, which is also one of the reasons why we are considering selling the quota. I don't know whether I should say it...but it is time to let you know. "

"What's the matter?"

"The late emperor spent a huge price to save Xuanwu. You should know this."

"Nature knows."

"Afterwards, this old turtle promised to ensure that our giant turtle country will have a safe journey regardless of rain or shine. But this guarantee is not unlimited... After all, the lifespan of this kind of mythical beast is too long for us to imagine."

"It has lived for a long, long time, and it can live for even longer. It cannot be permanently bound to our giant turtle country and be the sacred beast of our country."

The emperor became nervous: "How long is its promised period?"

"Xuanwu's original promise was to protect the Giant Turtle Kingdom until the late emperor's death...the late emperor also agreed."

"After all, that was a story twenty years ago. It was precarious back then, and it's already great that a mythical beast was willing to help us. We can't ask for too much."

"But now, the late emperor has passed away, and the deadline promised has expired. Moreover, this world may really be safe... In this case... Xuanwu's departure is also possible. Look at it now, everything Everything is lazy, and they don’t even care much about our country’s national affairs.”

The emperor was simply dumbfounded.

Their biggest trump card, Xuanwu, wants to run!

What does this mean? ! If Xuanwu leaves the Giant Turtle Civilization, then half of their heritage will disappear out of thin air.
