Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 48 Everyone has a bright future
"Are there any heavy weapons?" Lincheng asked.

"Heavy weapons." Xun Ying's smile faltered, "Sir, this thing is not easy to deal with. Baicheng does not export heavy weapons, so reservations must be made in advance."

"Where do you usually get your heavy firepower?" Lincheng asked.

After a pause, he smiled again, "I'm sorry, I just asked casually, so you don't need to answer."

"It's okay, it's nothing unusual." Xun Ying pointed to the scavengers behind Lincheng, "Although these rats are disgusting, they are indeed capable of digging holes. They were created when the old civilization fought Apophis. A fairly large amount of weapons.

I heard that in that era, there were more weapons than people. These weapons were buried underground, and some of them were still well preserved. They could be used after some processing, which was much easier to use than these guns.

Those hunters used almost all weapons from the old human period. "

Lincheng nodded. This is similar to what he guessed. There are many weapons left by the old humans in their base. Unfortunately, the original base is near the sea, and the moisture in the base is relatively high, and the firearms are more corroded.

"You guys can barter here, right?"

"Of course, what do you want in exchange?"

"Salt, can you?" Lincheng said.

"What salt?"

"Fine salt." Lincheng said.

Xun Ying was taken aback, but then showed a more enthusiastic smile, "Of course, salt is a hard currency here, and it can be used directly as currency. There is Apophis in the sea, and the clean salt wells in the Black Sea have been gathered Those who can safely fetch seawater to dry the salt will have a narrow escape. Ten grams of fine salt is equivalent to one gram of gold.”

There was a fleeting glimmer of light in Lincheng, and then he nodded and said, "How do you sell this light cavalry?"

"131 salt coins, one salt coin is equal to one gram of salt." Xun Ying said.

Next to the Lincheng Base is the Salt Lake, and refined salt can be obtained by using ether to purify it, which is cheap enough to compare with modern times.

A bag of [-] grams of refined salt in modern times is almost two yuan, so, for them, this gun is cheaper than butt wipes.

It seems that Mendeleev's guess was right. The people here really don't have a way to purify coarse salt, and the nearby inland sea has become their fatal flaw.

The fault of civilization is fatal to them.

Lincheng continued to say with a straight face.

"The butt and handle of this gun are made of the cheapest wood, and it is easy to jam. Why is it so expensive?"

"Guns are also hard currency in this land." Xun Ying grinned, with a little cunning in his eyes.

"Are there any bullets?" Lincheng said.

"Of course." Xunying took out a few boxes of bullets from under the table, "This is the matching steel bullets. There are twenty bullets in a box. One box counts as ten grams of salt for you."

Lincheng frowned deeply, and said displeasedly, "Why are the bullets of the bronze armor so expensive!?".

Bronze-armored bullets fit the rifling better, can rotate along the rifling better, have a more stable ballistic trajectory, and cause less wear to the barrel. The steel core is usually cut from a round steel bar with a turning tool, not forged.

The overall unarmored bullet will rub against the rifling, wear the barrel, and the trajectory will be unstable as a result, and sometimes it will get stuck and explode directly.

"This is already a very conscientious price. You may not know that the prices of various metals in the Black Sea are also very expensive recently. Baicheng is preparing for a war and bought a lot of metals."

"War?" Lincheng frowned.

"I don't know the details, I just heard from some colleagues." Xun Ying said, "We are all small people, and no one knows what these big people think."

Lincheng was silent for a moment, then said.

"How much stock do you have left, I bought them all." Lincheng said.

"Fresh! I like a gentleman like you who is rich and generous, spends money and is very straightforward." Xunying said excitedly, "There are five light cavalry, five A31s, and three hundred bullets."

"I bought so many things, but you didn't give me any gifts?" Lincheng said.

Xun Ying was taken aback, then smiled, "Did you see anything at my booth?"

"What is that?" Lincheng casually pointed to the stone that Einstein reminded him just now.

"I'm not too sure. I thought it was silver, but it's not. It should be some inferior broken silver." Xun Ying frowned.

"It can't be wrong, Lincheng, that's palladium! Palladium!" Einstein's excited voice came from one side, and it seemed that Nuwa gave the exact answer.

However, Lincheng's expression remained unchanged, he said calmly.

"Then give it to me, how about it?"

"Please allow me to be curious, what do you want these inferior pieces of silver for?"

"My wife likes these shiny silver things very much." Lincheng said flickeringly.

"Your wife must be an aristocrat from a large gathering place." Xun Ying smiled. In his image, in this era when most people are living in precarity, few people would like these inedible things, only Only nobles in large gathering places who don't have to worry about food and clothing like it.

"It's all in the past." Lincheng said with deep eyes.

Xun Ying nodded in confusion, feeling that there must be some unknown story behind the young man in front of him.

"Since you don't want to send me, forget it." Lincheng said indifferently, "Then can you make it cheaper?"

"Yes, of course!" Xun Ying said with a sneer, "Your love for your wife is touching, how could I not fulfill you.

You know, the Great Salt Road is full of air pirates now, and every shipment we take is at great risk. "

"Great Salt Road?" A look of interest appeared on Lincheng's face.

And Xunying also explained very interestingly, "Although the land of the Black Sea is short of salt, the adjacent land is not short of salt. There is a salt sea there, and the sand on the coast is covered with brine."

It should be the Mediterranean Sea, Lincheng thought, the salt content of the Mediterranean Sea is higher than the average of all oceans in the world, and there are many salt mines nearby.

The world is so magical. The Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea are clearly connected, but they are completely opposite.

Xun Ying's words continued.

"The airway between the salt sea and the black sea is called the salt road. Six years ago, we air merchants walked on this empty road and resold sea salt to the black sea. It was huge profits. At that time, there was no salt in the black sea." It’s scary to be as expensive as it is now.”

Xun Ying recalled the past with a blushing face. It seemed that at that time, he should have lived quite well, but then his complexion became gloomy again.

"Unfortunately, I don't know why in recent years, there have been a lot of air robbers, and many large air merchants have been robbed."

Lincheng nodded, silently took out a handful of salt from one side pocket, and put it in front of him.

The moment those salts appeared, Xun Ying's eyes straightened.

He stretched out his hand trembling slightly, lightly dipped a little salt with his finger, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"There is no bitterness at all, and it is as fine and white as snowflakes."

He looked at Lincheng in disbelief.

"Sir, where did you get all this salt?"

"From my wife." Lincheng said solemnly.

Xun Ying thought of his wife who might have come from a powerful nobleman, and he suddenly realized, looking at the handsome Lincheng who was wearing the clothes of a scavenger at the moment.

In his mind, he immediately imagined a [-]-word novel about a noble girl falling in love with a handsome poor boy, but her parents disagreed, and the woman eloped with the boy with her family property.

He nodded and said, "Your wife must love you very much."

He picked up the small scale on the table, and carefully weighed the salt on the scale.

"There's a total of [-] grams here, so you don't have to give any more."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lincheng said.

"No trouble, no trouble, the quality of your salt is really good, in a sense, I earned it." Xun Ying's face was rosy, with joy from the bottom of his heart.

For him, these salts can not only be used for food, but oil is also produced in the land of the Black Sea, and people here only trade with salt, and he can use these salts to exchange for oil from the Black Sea people.

He sold the oil to Baicheng again, and he made more money than these few guns.

But for Lincheng, he exchanged [-] grams of salt for ten guns, and he also took down the stone that Einstein had taken a fancy to.

Fourteen hundred grams of salt, that is, three packs of salt, is even less than ten yuan in modern times.

So when Broken Sword came out, he saw this weird scene.

Both Xunying and Lincheng had warm smiles on their faces, like two close friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

Broken Sword has only seen two situations in the past, one is that he was cheated by a profiteer called Xunying, and left with a painful face, and the other is that Xunying didn't make the profit he wanted, with a gloomy expression on his face.

This is the first time I have seen a situation where both of them seem to have made money, and everyone has a bright future.
