Chapter 523, The charm of the black box
Gu Hang agreed to Chen Haixu's request.

Aren’t there just three black boxes?
Except for Wu Jiarong, the other seven main business sages all gave one to each of them, and they were not reluctant to give three more to Chen Haixu.

There are only ten black boxes in total.

In the past, he would never have dared to reveal that he had a black box.

Let alone trading directly with the Mechanicus.

Just look at the way these sages of the Mechanicum's eyes light up when they hear there is a black box, and you know how eager they are for this thing.

In order to obtain the black box, they can put aside even the interests of the sect.

In other words, in their perception, obtaining such a bunch of black boxes is even more important to the sect than more than forty worlds, plus strengthening their own military strength.

In fact, the fact is very likely that this is indeed the case.

If Gu Hang was still relatively weak in the past, he would have really worried that after the news of his possession of the black box spread, he would be directly forced to use force and robbed.

Even if he said that he 'turned it in' on his own initiative, Gu Hang could not explain the source of the black box. He might easily be subject to further scrutiny under his lies, thus exposing a bigger problem.

The rights of the weak will not be protected, and the oil guys will not let go of any possibility, that is, if they just put in a little more effort, and search carefully, they might be able to find a new black box?

The low probability doesn’t stop you from giving it a try.

But Gu Hang is no longer what he used to be.

Have a peek at the black box?

Want to do something overt or covert?

You can try it.

With the virtues of the Mingyang Sect, it cannot be defeated in a war, it cannot be investigated and robbed secretly, and the black box cannot be obtained in the subspace divine kingdom, so what else can it do?
In fact, had he not been concerned about the special nature of the Mechanicus, Gu Hang would not have been polite to them!

If he really resorted to tough measures, Gu Hang would have enough power to force them to surrender.

Forcibly occupying more than forty worlds outside Jindi Star, expelling the rulers and garrisons of the Mingyang Sect; blockading Jindi Star, cutting off the supply of raw materials; harassing orbital star ports and shipyards, forcing starship manufacturing to stop...

I'm afraid it doesn't even have to go to the point of a real full-scale war. Just cutting off trade and imposing siege sanctions will be enough to deal a fatal blow to the Mingyang Sect.

Failure to do so is nothing more than tying them to their chariot for the sake of integrity and avoiding political trouble.

These oil guys are really good at production. As a foundry world, Jindi Star is the most productive place in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

Otherwise, Gu Hang would not be willing to pay ten black boxes.

In these ten black boxes, what Gu Hang brought out were technologies that were currently of very low value to the alliance.

For example, G series rifles, such as the Walker armored vehicle, such as the stone engine...

And all are finished black boxes.

For these low-end products with very high demand, it is of little practical significance to simply use finished black boxes to pull out standard products. It is enough to have the mother machine black box pulled out of the production line.

What's more, the production lines of these products can even be manufactured by ourselves without using black boxes.

In fact, these black box alliances were obtained relatively early, and Ms. Wu Jiarong has already 'played' with them many times.

Since the actual use is relatively weak, using it for trading can be regarded as making the best use of it. For the Mingyang Sect, the output of the black box itself is not actually that valuable. It's nothing more than some flawless rifles, low-end engines, and armored vehicles. Is there any high value?

However, the technology contained in it has a different meaning.

In the eyes of engine oil guys, those 'perfect products' contain huge mysteries. Observing, studying and replicating these products will directly be of great help to them with the same technology; these perfect processing methods will go even further. can inspire their technical abilities.

This is just the help of a perfect product produced by a black box.

The black box itself is of great significance. If it could be dismantled...

Oh, no one dares.

The reason why a black box is a black box is because the technology contained in it cannot be understood at all. If it is dismantled, even a little bit, it cannot be put back together, which means that the black box is completely scrapped.

So far, the only few learning experiences of dismantling black boxes within the Mechanicus have proven this point. Not even the best sage can restore even the simplest black box.

Doing this is a huge waste.

But it is undeniable that every time the black box is dismantled, it is a huge technical inspiration.

But Gu Hang would not allow them to do this.

Gu Hang told them clearly that these black boxes were only for rent, not as gifts. Moreover, this kind of rental is exclusive, and sages are not allowed to exchange or borrow with each other.

The lease time varies, but when it expires, the alliance must ensure that there are no problems with the black box when it is taken back.

If the contract is violated, not only will he have to pay huge compensation, but the alliance will also blacklist the sage, and he will no longer cooperate with black boxes in the future.

The former may be dismissed by engine oil guys. If there can be huge technological improvements, how about I just dismantle it? Just compensate for the sky-high price, but it’s not something you can’t afford. Even if they really can't afford to pay, they can easily lose control of their hands when they go crazy and feel itchy.

But the latter condition can calm even the craziest motor oil guy.

It was obvious that there were more than ten black boxes owned by the alliance.

In order to have other, even higher-level black boxes that can be studied in the future, the sages of the Mingyang Sect must grit their teeth and control their own hands no matter how hard they can.

As for Gu Hang, relying on the relatively powerful force that he has developed now, the Mingyang Sect cannot make decisions based on force; and the value of the black box to the Mechanicus has firmly held them back.

This was the way he considered tying Jin Dixing to his chariot.

Furthermore, Wu Jiarong will become the representative of Gu Hang's will.

After all, Gu Hang couldn't stay in Jindi Star for a long time.

Wu Jiarong must shoulder this responsibility.

In the future, she will also manage all the black boxes leased by the Alliance to the Mingyang Sect.

This is a huge power.

Now she is just tied to the chariot. When Wu Jiarong gradually builds her own influence in Jin Di Xing with the help of black box management rights, then Gu Hang's desire to 'steal' Jin Di Xing will become There is a path to implementation.

So far, Gu Hang has basically completed all the work for his trip to Jindi Star.
