Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 47 Trade Agreement (2 monthly passes plus updates)
Su Lixuan said this, on the one hand, because he felt it, and on the other hand, it was also because he was here as a diplomatic envoy to improve relations.

The simple reaction from the other person immediately made him feel a little guilty.

It's really hard to say whether to rob or not, it's mainly decided by the higher-ups.

As for now, the Earth United Nations definitely has no such idea. Their own home is about to be invaded, so there is no time to rob others.

"Ahem, in short, our interests are absolutely consistent at this stage. Please rest assured on this point."

When they came to the underground city, everyone truly discovered the power of this rocky republic.

Each one of them is equivalent to a heavy-duty excavator. With their very strong racial characteristics, they are more efficient than humans in controlling machines when collecting resources.

If they want to collect minerals at this level, they need to transport them back and forth one by one, and dig one by one machine.

But they don't use it. They dig minerals as easily as humans picking up a pebble on the ground. Using tools only slows down their efficiency.

Just a brief look at their mining site here, Chen Xiaomeng roughly assessed the gap between the two sides' mineral collection.

After the calculation result came out, Chen Xiaomeng was startled. She glanced at the other party and asked, "How many large mining areas like this do you have here?"

"Large? Isn't this a small mine? Because it's close to the city, the mine isn't too big. If it's like this, we have more than a dozen."

"Small? Is this small?"

Chen Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, and her recording hand stopped.

Su Lixuan knew something about the military industry, and he asked in shock: "If this is considered small, then your mineral output should be very large. Can you use up all these minerals?"

"It can't be used up. So we usually dig for one day, then rest for six days, and then dig for another day."

"?"

Everyone was simply envious. They controlled the machine to keep running, and they couldn't dig as much minerals as the other party had dug in a few days. Minerals were always in short supply.

Without minerals, even if a few more alloy smelting plants are built, there will not be enough resources to operate the alloy plant at full power.

Their alloy smelting plant is far from reaching the upper limit, but the mining of minerals has reached the upper limit, which has caused the production of alloys to keep falling.

At this moment, seeing that the other party had so many more minerals, he even did this magical trick of digging for one day and resting for six days.

Everyone was really confused.

If you don't want it, you can give it to us. We are in short supply.

But soon everyone knew why their minerals were always full and couldn't be used up.

Because their ability to convert minerals into alloys is too low.

Su Lixuan discussed it with everyone, and then contacted the United Nations headquarters, and finally established a trade plan.

"How about exchanging your minerals for our alloys?"

Ke Luoke was a little surprised, "Aren't you all at a disadvantage? Converting minerals into alloys requires many processes."

Okay, you will lose money as soon as you start talking about your business negotiation skills, so I want to give you more.

Chen Xiaomeng said with a smile: "Our mineral conversion efficiency is much higher than yours."

The other party was stunned when he heard this.

The most critical issue currently restricting the manufacturing of the Rock Republic warships is the overflow of minerals and low efficiency of alloy production.

However, judging from the tone of the other party, their mining efficiency is insufficient, but their alloy smelting efficiency is very high. The two parties are in a complementary relationship.Korok contacted their senior officials and then made a final trade plan with the Earth United Nations.

The Rock Republic provides high-quality minerals and transports them to the Earth United Nations, and the Earth United Nations sends part of the alloy smelted to the Rock Republic.

The other side was very naive and did not know the true mineral-to-alloy ratio on the Earth United Nations side. Instead, he told the Earth United Nations side his true mineral conversion ratio.

Su Lixuan and the others didn't want to lower the price too much. After all, they were really simple, and they would feel guilty for deceiving such simple people.

But the top management doesn't care so much. They press hard.

Just press it hard enough so that the Rock Republic can earn a little more after covering the shipping costs, and then the United Nations of Earth can earn a large share of the big share.

When the final trade plan was finalized, Chen Xiaomeng at the negotiation table covered his face and looked ashamed. This was completely putting the other party at a disadvantage.

I originally thought that the other party would be furious when they saw this ratio, but unexpectedly, they signed happily.

It made everyone feel embarrassed for a while.

Especially when the person on the other side thanked them solemnly and looked like I was really embarrassed that you suffered a big loss and we made a big profit.

Everyone became even more ashamed.

The other side had poor information.

You know the ratio of the opponent's minerals to alloys, but the opponent doesn't know the ratio of your opponent, so you can suppress it just right.

Let the other party feel that they are making a lot of money, but in fact, you have already made a lot of money.

Their original intention in proposing the trade was to help the other side, but they didn't expect that they would make the absolute majority of the profit.

With the confirmation of the trade, the status of Su Lixuan and his party has become higher on the side of the Rock Republic, and there are more things they can get in touch with.

Compared with the stone people on the ground, the stone people underground seem to live less happily.

Needless to say, those who work, but those who don’t work, live in the underground city and look lifeless.

Obviously, everyone prefers to lie on the surface and enjoy the beauty of nature than living in such a cave.

It has been a while since we came to this medicine planet, and everyone was familiar with Korok. After the research process reached a certain stage, Korok wanted to leave for a while to visit his grandmother.

"Who is grandma?"

a scientist in the crowd asked.

"We rock beings are different from you. We are parthenogenetic, formed from a stone falling from my grandmother. My grandmother is also my mother. I haven't been back for a long time, and this time it is through yours." I'm on vacation in name only."

"It's convenient to take us to have a look. We can just stand at a distance and have a look. Let's get to know a little bit about your social situation."

Chen Xiaomeng stopped writing and said.

"If you are willing to go, of course there is no problem, come with me."

Korok didn't care about this. He just left temporarily to visit his family.It doesn't matter whether they come or not.

Everyone followed Korok back to the surface.After passing through a forest, I finally saw a mountain peak nearly a thousand meters high.

"No way?"

Some people in the crowd exclaimed unconsciously and then covered their mouths.
