Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 918 Golden Armor
Apollonia watched Lost River begin to play.

The roars from all the heavens and worlds penetrated Shangluo's eardrums with natural sounds.

"!!!!!!"

Shangluo's stress reaction scared Qi Qianhu on the opposite side. Although he could only hear the sound, he could also hear that Shangluo on the opposite side seemed to be suffering great pain.

"Shangluo, are you okay?"

"Nothing. I just heard something weird." He shook his head. It was one thing to listen to the song alone, but it was another thing to have Apollonia imitate it in his mind. If he had a SAN value, it would have dropped a lot at this time.

"But it is certain that it is probably not mental protection."

"Then you should study how to separate it as soon as possible." Qi Qianhu replied, "Because transmutation technology can only be replicated through the mother copy. We can sublimate this transmutation technology to a field that the Romans have never touched, but it seems that we are still one generation away from directly editing the 'idea' out of thin air. Maybe, in the next decade, or the next, we can do it. But now, we still have to wait for your rice to cook."

"I understand. I'll try it as soon as possible."

"Let me ask you one more question." Captain Qi suddenly changed the subject, "Are there really 1000 metric tons of gold? When will it be shipped? I want to go and see it, too."

"They said they'll be here soon."

Suddenly, another voice rang from the phone:
Xiao Hong's voice called out: "Shang Tianjun, there's a package for you! Come and check it!"

1000 metric tons of gold were delivered, this time by five submarines.

"Your Majesty the King of Rome." The man who came to deliver the gold was an old man wearing a glass hood whose face could not be seen clearly - everything inside the hood was like a layer of colorful oil film separating it from the outside world. Although he could not see anything, he could hear the sounds.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"My name is not important. This submarine is still on duty, so we cannot establish a sympathetic link with you. Please understand. We have delivered the gold you requested." Although he did not want to ask more, he still sighed, "You are really special in the eyes of Her Majesty Victoria."

It took several hours to unload the gold, and many Jinyiwei were called in.

1000 metric tons of gold. Its volume is smaller than the limit estimated by Shangluo, but it can definitely be called a mountain of gold.

All the gold was packed in a kind of "suitcase". It did look like a household suitcase, with four wheels and handles, and it could indeed be moved. But according to Victoria, the seal must not be opened before it was moved to the destination, otherwise it would have to be transported by a forklift.

Each suitcase contains two metric tons of gold. 1000 metric tons means 500 suitcases.

Layer upon layer, level upon level, 500 suitcases were piled up into a small mountain.

"Wow" Wen Yuan was standing nearby, and Han Xingzhi was also here.

After sleeping for a day and a night, he had just woken up and received this bombshell news—such a huge amount of gold was right in front of him.

"Brother, can I open one and see?"

Wen Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "This thing is enchanted. Once you open it, all the weight will be returned. A suitcase weighs two tons. Will you carry it when the time comes?"

"Don't you want to take a look? This is gold! Have you ever seen so much gold in your life?"

"Hmph." "Don't humph. According to estimates, about 20 metric tons of gold have been mined in the world, but most of it is scattered among the people. As for banks, I heard that the Central Bank of Rome only has tons of gold reserves. Ours should be larger than that. But this is..."

His voice trembled a little: "This is 1000 metric tons of gold! One-tenth of the Roman treasury. With so much gold in front of you, don't you want to see just the tip of the iceberg?"

Wen Yuan did not answer him directly, but looked at Shang Luo:
"I ask, is this so much gold borrowed from you or given to you as a gift?"

"There's no difference between the two." Shangluo waved his hand, "Even if it's a gift, it's still a great favor."

"Then what are you going to give back?" Wen Yuan looked him up and down, "What did you sell to get all this?"

"Humanity, alright."

"Can I take that literally?"

"No! It's just a favor in the usual sense, nothing else."

"Brother, you don't need to say anything, we all understand!" Han Xingzhi jumped onto Shangluo's back like a monkey, "Brother, you are really...really amazing~~ You are good at dancing with long sleeves, you are good at dancing with long sleeves."

"Get off!" He rolled over and threw Han Xingzhi aside. "Anyway, now that we have this gold, it will naturally have its uses. You can all get some of it when the time comes."

"The alchemy room doesn't have enough gold." Wen Yuan nodded. "I know that. The emperor didn't approve much gold for the alchemy room because he wasn't very interested in the 'golden elixir', and the alchemy room's recent research direction is not in this area. I don't think the Jinyiwei will ask the national treasury for gold - if you hadn't sold a 'favor', it would be difficult to get so much gold."

"By the way, how much gold is in our treasury?"

"How would I know?" Wen Yuan shook her head. "This is a secret. Gold is an important reserve, and it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. But no matter what, the national treasury can't give you 1000 tons of gold at once, and let you use it at will without specifying the purpose. That's why I said that you and Victoria really have a close relationship."

"Ah~~ That's great~" Han Xingzhi echoed, "I wish I could have a brother like you"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar, cold chill suddenly emerged from the side.

The familiar feeling and extreme fear made him look towards Shangluo suddenly. He saw Shangluo was throwing and catching a date that came out of nowhere.

"!!!" He took a step back and bowed his head, "Brother, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"You know what the consequences will be if you continue talking, right? I have no choice but to ask you to eat some dates, Master Han. Perhaps this will allow you to sleep peacefully for a while longer."

The huge fear made him not dare to delay for a second, and he immediately began to beg for mercy: "I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Quickly withdraw your magical power! I won't dare to do it again."

"Is this thing so powerful?" Wen Yuan asked in surprise.

"Eat it. You'll know once you eat one. The image of Zhu Bajie being eaten is still circling in my mind."

"What's this Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong?" Wen Yuan was a little confused, but he could guess the situation from the look on his face. This guy was now like Sun Wukong who had heard the spell of tightening the hoop, and he seemed to be really scared.

"You two, come with me first." He looked at the two of them. "When there are good things, of course we should digest them first, right? I plan to make a batch of weapons for the heavenly soldiers and generals later. You two can look at the catalog and pick one for yourselves. There will be one for everyone, and there is enough gold for now."

[Then take the gold and become cannon fodder, and get beaten by Fu Yuanshan. Hehehe.] Apollonia said with a fierce smile.
