Chapter 337, Beyond the Stars (Debt Repayment 7)

A deal was successfully made, and the stall owner was obviously in a good mood. He couldn't put it down even more for the virtual game helmet in his hand. He carefully put it on the side and began to introduce some things to Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang more enthusiastically.

"Guests, please pick and look at whatever you want. If you don't understand anything, you can ask. My things are all good things, and the variety of products is also the most complete. I also have what others have, and what others don't have. I have everything here, and everything is fine."

"Boss, where is the other side of the starlight? Have I heard about you several times?"

While Li Wandu showed a strong interest in his products, seeing that he was in a good mood, he also took the opportunity to learn some information about the Milky Way and Orion's spiral arm.

"Don't you know the other side of the starlight?"

Hearing Li Wandu's words, the stall owner asked in surprise.

"I really don't know, maybe our empire's location is too remote, and we have less contact with the interstellar civilization outside."

Li Wan smiled and shook his head.

"Oh, it's no wonder. This other side of the starlight is the most powerful civilization above our Orion's spiral arm. The other side of the starlight was originally a place name, a very prosperous star field."

"But later the Kolov civilization unified the entire Starlight Beyond and established the powerful Kolov Empire. Gradually, everyone habitually referred to this Kolov Empire as the Starlight Beyond Civilization, generally called the Starlight Beyond. .”

The stall owner was very enthusiastic and popularized common sense to Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang that everyone on the Orion spiral arm knows.

"The other side of the starlight?"

When Li Wandu heard it, he firmly remembered the name.

"The other side of the starlight is a very powerful civilization. They occupy the most prosperous star field above our entire Orion spiral arm, and also control the channel from our Orion spiral arm to the center of the Milky Way. Just selling goods in the middle makes a lot of money. Bowl full."

"There are millions of galaxies and tens of millions of living planets on the other side of the starlight, and the population is calculated in Beijing."

"It is said that their technological level is very strong, and has developed to the top level of the third-level cosmic civilization. All the civilizations in the entire Orion spiral arm are not as powerful as the other side of the starlight. They need to pay tribute to the other side of the starlight on a regular basis, otherwise There will be a catastrophe of national subjugation and genocide.”

Speaking of the other side of the starlight, the eyes of this Karan Empire officer showed infinite yearning, and of course more fear, the pupils in his eyes shrank.

"It seems that your Excellency has been to the other side of the starlight, and seen the prosperity and wealth of the other side of the starlight?"

Ding Xiaoqiang also said with a smile.

"Where do I have the opportunity to go to the other side of the starlight? Those who can go to the other side of the starlight are all big forces and big shots in various civilizations. If my current title goes up a few levels, I may have the opportunity to see it."

The stall owner smiled and shook his head slightly.

"These are all products from Beyond Starlight. This drink is one of the three major beverages from Beyond Starlight. It tastes pretty good, and the quantity is very limited. I can't bear to drink it myself."

Soon, after a few words, the stall owner returned to the topic and enthusiastically sold some products from the other side of the starlight to the two. Li Wan could tell with his toes that these things definitely did not come from the other side of the starlight, most likely they were Things from a certain planet in the Karan Empire will naturally not be fooled by him.

However, in order to get more information out, Li Wandu still showed a strong interest, looked at and researched carefully, and at the same time took the opportunity to continue to collect information.

"Do you have technology products from the other side of the starlight, such as space battleships, space fighters, etc., or do you know where these things are sold?"

"What? You want to buy a space battleship from the other side of the starlight? A space fighter?"

"You can't afford it. Even for our Karan Empire, it is very difficult to buy a warship from the other side of the starlight. It is too expensive."

The stall owner shook his head when he heard that, what a joke, the warships on the other side of the starlight are not Chinese cabbage, they can be bought casually.

"Oh? How expensive is it? Isn't it just a space battleship? What else can it do?"

Li Wan said with a smile.

"How expensive? A space battleship on the other side of the starlight needs about 50 galaxies to exchange for. The space battleship produced by the other side of the starlight is the best space battleship in our entire Orion spiral arm. It not only has powerful offensive weapons, but also There are also energy shields for protection."

"Every space battleship from the other side of the starlight is enough to become the treasure of a civilization. In the interstellar space war, this kind of warship is simply an invincible myth."

The stall owner looked at Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang as if he was looking at a bumpkin, as if he was talking to the aborigines about something beyond imagination.

"Then besides the things from the other side of the starlight, do you have any other products of powerful civilizations?"

Li Wan probably already had an idea in his mind, and continued to talk with a smile.

"Yes, yes, of course, guest, please look, this is an instrument from Gregor Federation, it can play some very special melodies, it is definitely not to be missed by those who love music."

"And this is a silk fabric from the Augustinian Empire. This kind of silk is a kind of animal-protruding silk unique to the Augustinian Empire. It is very smooth. It must be good to buy some and give it back. The Augustinian Empire is second only to the starlight on the Orion spiral arm. The largest civilization on the other side is very powerful, and their products will definitely not be bad."

Hearing Li Wandu's words, the stall owner started to run the train with his mouth full, pointing at anything at random and daring to say that it came from a certain civilization. In fact, these things were all cheap goods he got from that corner of the starry sky, basically Snatched from the original indigenous civilization.

"Grigor Federation? Augustine Empire? Do you have any books introducing the civilizations and star maps of Orion's spiral arm? I am willing to pay a high price for them."

Li Wan became interested when he heard it. Information about the many civilizations on the Orion's spiral arm is what the empire is most eager to know. The reason is simple. The empire needs to figure out the number and overall strength of the Orion's spiral arm civilization. Constantly expanding externally, if one accidentally encounters a powerful civilization, he may be beaten head-on at that time.

Information is very important stuff!

"I'm sorry about this, I can't disclose information to you. Of course, our two empires have established diplomatic relations now. I estimate that the upper echelons of your empire will definitely conduct large transactions of intelligence, information, etc. between the upper echelons of our empire. You'll know in time."

Unexpectedly, when it came to this question, the stall owner shook his head again and again. Obviously, the Karan Empire also has relevant regulations. Those things can be bought and sold, and those things cannot be bought and sold. They are all clearly distinguished.

In fact, this is exactly the case. At this time, in Webster's luxurious tent, Luo Xiaoyao, the commander of the Imperial Royal Legion, is conducting a large-scale economic trade with Webster on behalf of the empire. The ordinary people below know how to do business, and the people above Naturally, the opportunity will not be missed.

"Your Excellency, the Karan Empire very much hopes to be able to purchase related technologies. Of course, you can open them at this price. We guarantee that you will be satisfied."

At this time, Webster was also negotiating with Luo Xiaoyao on behalf of the Karan Empire. This time, he was beaten up. The scientists of the Karan Empire also knew several advanced technologies in the hands of the empire.

"Mr. Webster, I have already said that the technology of our empire will never be sold, even if the price you offer is very exciting."

Luo Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head and refused, just kidding, they want to buy anti-gravity technology, gravity field technology, optical magnetic traction technology, the empire's energy weapon technology, these technologies are the most advanced technology of the empire, how could they sell it, the empire still Rely on these technologies to make a living in the Orion spiral arm and the Milky Way.

"That's really a pity. However, I wonder if we can sell some related products to our Karan Empire? The arms and weapons of your empire are so advanced that we are willing to buy them at a high price."

Although I was disappointed in my heart, it was also expected. Originally, I just said casually. This kind of technology trading is not uncommon in the interstellar world, but it is generally impossible to say that I would be stupid enough to sell the top technology in my hands. Webster's purpose I want to buy some products of the empire to go back and let my own scientists conduct research.

"Our two empires have just established diplomatic relations. Originally, these weapons and weapons could not be sold, but for the sake of our friendship, we can sell some to you in small quantities, but the price is naturally not cheap."

Luo Xiaoyao pondered for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

Between civilization and civilization, the trade of arms, technology, etc. is the biggest business and the most important business. Every civilization in the interstellar universe will strengthen its own strength as much as possible, because the stronger the strength, the more powerful it is. able to better protect their own interests.

"Great, our Karan Empire wants to buy 10 large space battleships, 100 medium-sized space battleships, several small space battleships, and 100 million space battleships."

When Webster heard this, he almost jumped up for joy. He didn't expect that Luo Xiaoyao would really agree to sell some arms to him, so he quickly reported a list.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to sell so many arms and weapons to your empire. Moreover, it is impossible for your empire to exchange things of equivalent value. At most, we can sell one medium-sized space battleship, ten small space battleships, one Ten thousand space fighters are given to you Karan Empire."

"Of course, if the relationship between our two empires develops further in the future, we can also consider selling large space battleships to you, and even technology transfer is not impossible."
