Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 49 Slave Auction

"Hey, if we heard correctly, Lincheng traded ten guns and ammunition for less than a few bags of salt?" Brother Li, who had been listening behind him, murmured softly, "Is this a game bug?"

"It's so strange, I think it's reasonable. The salt content of the Black Sea is very low. Didn't you hear that the salt mines here are monopolized. If there is no salt lake near our base, it may not be easy to get salt." Said in a low voice.

"The background setting is that this world is a civilization fault. It is estimated that they have no way to refine crude salt. The lake salt has many impurities, and it is poisonous if it is not purified.

Our Great China has developed for thousands of years. It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that there was a method of large-scale refining of coarse salt. How long has it been for humans to develop on this land? I guess they don’t even know the periodic table of elements.

There are records of using salt coins in ancient Jiangnan and ancient Abyssia. In the sixth century, merchants in ancient Moor also used salt coins as vouchers. One gram of salt was worth one gram of gold.

However, I feel that the planning should not allow us to take such a big advantage. When we go back, those NPCs should block the salt lake and control the price of salt. I just don’t know if the future currency system will also be replaced by salt coins. "

"Damn! If I had known, I would have practiced more salt." Brother Li cursed secretly, "Damn it, go back and try to see if you can go to the salt lake again."

Listening to the chat between Jie Se and Brother Li, Lin Cheng also silently communicated with Nu Wa with his thoughts.

"Add a warning to the prohibition rules for chips to salt salt that goes to the salt lake without permission."

"Yes." Nuwa replied.

Lincheng does have plans to create a currency system, but it is absolutely impossible to use salt as currency, because no one knows whether someone will obtain a method of purifying salt from certain bases.

Maybe it already exists, such as that Baicheng, but it is not made public in order to control the transaction of salt price.

The current salt seems to be expensive. Once the method of refining salt appears, the price of salt will fall off a cliff, and by then, the entire economic system will suffer a severe blow.

This time will not be too long.

How could Lincheng rely on such an unstable thing for their economy? However, at this moment, the method of refining refined salt and the existence of the salt lake are indeed important weapons and bargaining chips in Lincheng's hands.

The price of salt will definitely collapse, but the key is how it will collapse. If the timing is right, Lincheng may be able to control the economy of the entire Black Sea region.

"Double Tree Trade will be held once a month, and I hope to see you here again next month." Xunying said.

"Of course." Lincheng smiled.

Tesla looked at Brother Li, Jie Se and others behind him, "Take all the weapons, load the ammunition, put on the clips, and load them. If you don't know how to use them, you can come and ask me."

The guns in this world should all be influenced by the old civilization, or in other words, these guns are all made by imitating those guns, and the methods of use are similar, Tesla can almost understand it at a glance.

Although he is not a professional gunsmith, he has lived in Milijian for decades, so how could he not know how to play with guns.

Li Ge and the others' eyes lit up suddenly, and then they stepped forward one after another, each of them took at least one weapon in their hands, and also took some bullets and magazines.

They were holding those rifles, not talking, just having fun.

Tesla inserted the magazine, loaded the rifle, and said.

"These weapons are the property of the united front. You will keep and use them until you return to the base. But after returning to the base, you need to hand them over to the base, the rank of first-class soldier, and exchange for [-] points of military merit. a handful."

Tesla's words froze the smiles of these people in an instant. Brother Li moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to complain that these guns cost less than a bag of salt money, how dare you sell them for three hundred military points.

He only got fifty military merits for killing a giant fine-toothed bear, three hundred points, if he can't kill six, his life is gone.

But in the end it was replaced by a smiling face, said.

"Yes."

How about playing?

"However, after this escort mission is completed, each of you will get [-] points of military merit, and your military rank will be upgraded by one level." Tesla said.

"Yes!"

Looking at the people who have become full of enthusiasm from the loss just now.

Lincheng couldn't help thinking of himself when he planned to do stupid things and yelled at him when he was playing mobile games, and when he turned around and called his father after paying compensation... Now that I think about it, I look like a clown.

Is this the perspective of planning?
Leaving the booth of the empty merchant, Tesla walked to the rest of the booths with some reboots and Hu Lun. The time was limited, and the food inside the base was still in short supply. Even if there was no shortage of nutrition, eating meat alone would not be enough for people, so he You also need to buy wheat and potatoes.

This is considered a high-latitude area. It snows in winter, and the temperature can even drop below minus [-] degrees. Rice seeds are not viable, so basically wheat and potatoes are grown, and rice is unavailable.

Of course, the wheat and potatoes exchanged can only be used as seeds now. Although there are seeds in the origin base, they can only be said to be genetic samples, the number is not large, and they need to go through multiple breedings.

These bought wheat and potatoes can save them breeding time, and they can plant a large field in a short period of time, and the potatoes and wheat that grow on this land are naturally most suitable for planting on this land.

This is one of the three major black lands in the world. It would be a pity not to cultivate the land. I believe that a large amount of food will be harvested soon.

Those who sell these are basically farmers. Even in this era, they are not good stubble, but they are much easier to deal with than those shrewd businessmen. With Tesla's IQ, he can handle it.

At the same time, Lincheng also asked Nuwa in the communication system.

"Did you hear what the man said just now? Is there Apophis in the sea?"

"Actually, I had some doubts before." Einstein's voice rang in Lincheng's ear, "The power of a nuclear explosion is terrifying, and there are limited places to hide. Either it's underground, or it's just"

"Under the sea." Da Vinci took over the words.

"We are backed by the Black Sea." Plank said, "What should we do? Do we want to relocate?"

"Apophis does not exist in the Black Sea, at least it did not exist 50 years ago." Nuwa said at this time.

"The situation in the Black Sea is very special. The annual precipitation in this area is 600-800 millimeters. At the same time, the runoff of some larger rivers in Europe is collected. The annual average inflow of sea water reaches 355 billion cubic meters. The sum of these fresh water volumes is far more than the sea surface evaporation. The salinity of the surface seawater is desalinated, so that the average salinity is only 12-22‰.

The salinity of the surface layer is low, and a density jump layer is formed between the upper and lower water layers, which seriously prevents the exchange between the upper and lower water layers, and the deep seawater is severely anoxic.

Through the action of anaerobic bacteria, the sulfate in seawater is decomposed to form highly toxic hydrogen sulfide, which is poisonous to fish.

Therefore, in addition to some marine animals and plants in the shallow edge of the Black Sea and the upper layer of the sea, the deep sea and the bottom of the sea are almost a dead world.

At the same time, hydrogen sulfide is black, causing deep seawater to appear black.

Apophis has a powerful environmental adaptation system. Once it enters the dormant period, it can go without food for a long time. Under the threat of death, some Apophis have adapted to the deep sea environment in a short period of time, so they survive.

But if they enter the Black Sea, it means that they have to abandon the rest of the deep sea they used to adapt to and adapt to the Black Sea alone. Apophis is not stupid, they will not abandon the wider sea and bind themselves in the Black Sea.

And at the same time, they also need food, and the Black Sea does not have the food they need. "

Lincheng nodded, "In this case, it may explain why there are no traces of human gathering places around the base."

"Because the people here are afraid of the sea"

Tesla came over from a shop not far away and said so.

"I asked these farmers, and it was similar to what the businessman said. There is Apophis by the sea, which is their common knowledge, and because of this, they never go to the Black Sea."

"How many things have you changed?" Lincheng asked.

"Three hundred catties of wheat, one hundred catties of potatoes, some cotton wool, seasonings, and some odds and ends. However, apart from the palladium metal just discovered, no useful rare metals have been found." Tess Rado.

"After all, luck can't exist all the time." Lincheng laughed.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

The sudden three gunshots startled some ordinary farmers screaming in horror.

Afterwards, the crowd gradually fell silent, looking at the person who shot on the hillside not far away.

It was those scavengers, one of whom had a shaved mohawk head and tattoos all over his face slowly opened the corners of his mouth, revealing his big black and yellow teeth and grinning.

"The slave auction has officially begun!"
