Chapter 546 What? Cannons, airships!

While there was intense discussion at the rear, communication was still going on at the front.

Lu Yuan looked at the map. The north was an ice barrier, and the three directions to the south, east and west were the void of the universe.

This is really awesome!

Fortunately, the northern territory is very huge. It is conservatively estimated to be 100,000 kilometers from south to north, and the total area is about 6 times the area of ​​the earth. In this vast and sparsely populated environment, a large number of civilizations have formed their own kingdoms here, which is quite nourishing.

"A brief introduction to some surrounding civilizations."

The Ulan clan spoke with great respect: "The most powerful race here...must be the dwarves!"

"The dwarves have fought dozens of times with other races, and they almost never fail. Their equipment is so luxurious, and they are all legendary! They also have a large number of craftsmen, and their technological strength is also good."

"Oh, that does sound pretty powerful. Do they have many foreign wars?"

"That's not much. Unless the geothermal heat disappears and we can't survive, we basically won't start a war."

When the Ulan clan talked about this matter, they felt a little unhappy: "The dwarf clan occupies the best geothermal resources. They are backed by volcanoes and have no shortage of energy. This alone makes me envious."

"The most important thing is that the dwarves have embraced the ancestors... all the good things have been done to them."

"Ancestor?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"For some reason, the dwarves actually still have their ancestors alive and have provided them with a lot of advanced knowledge and property. But we don't have such good luck. We have to develop everything on our own... We are poor and in vain."

"Alas, we humans only have four cities and no ore. Life is very difficult."

Lu Yuan understood clearly, what kind of ancestors are they, aren't they the aliens who lived until now in the last era?

But why are you looking at us like this?

Life is difficult because you are doing poorly and it has nothing to do with us.

We weren't doing very well either. We were just taught a lesson by [Ghost], which was very difficult.

"What about the vision? Do you know the existence of the vision?"

"I know, I know! The dwarves have a strong background. Their ancestors raised several anomalies. The most powerful anomaly is called Poison Dragon. It can move in magma, and the scales it sheds are excellent armor materials. ”

"Wearing this kind of armor will keep your body warm and you will not freeze to death even in extreme cold waves."

"What about the other visions?"

"I don't know yet... but it is said that the extreme cold barrier was created by an extremely powerful vision, but no one can prove it."

It doesn't sound like a [ghost], so the problem isn't too big - Lu Yuan thought to himself.

It's not that he's drifting away, so many races in front of him are living well.

Even though it's a little harder, I'm still alive.

Wouldn't it be that as soon as they arrived at Green City, all kinds of strange phenomena would pop up, and everyone would be collectively unlucky?

Lu Yuan finally sighed: "Thank you leaders for your answers. I have a general understanding of the situation here. We will visit these civilizations, and then we will ask the two city lords to help lead the way and show their faces. It’s so familiar.”

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" The two men kept patting their chests to confirm.

"Then what are your specialties? If you want to carry out urban trade in the future, you must have some output, and you can't let us give it away for free."

The city lord of "Daogu" in Mailu City finally waited for this sentence. He took over the conversation excitedly: "Dear Sir Lu Yuan, there is a low-level civilization ruins near Mailu City. Let's develop this The ruins are hundreds of years old and a lot of cultural relics and specialties have been unearthed. If you can use them, we can give you a preferential price.”

"There are many cultural relics with carvings from ancient times. Over time, they have acquired a peculiar frost attribute. This material is different from conventional materials."

The big man took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it on the table.

Lu Yuan picked up the jade pendant and pondered it for a while. There were indeed subtle differences between the ancient glyphs and the ninth era.

The reason is also very simple. In different eras, the will of the world has changed, and the idealistic rules have also changed slightly.

However, the specific principles are still different.

[Ice Jade Pendant: An extraordinary prop that can accelerate the recovery of mental power. The recovery speed is expected to increase by 12.9%. 】

[The carvings on its surface are somewhat worn, but it is still a good cultural relic. 】

[Due to being placed in a cold environment for a long time, the extraordinary elements of ice attributes penetrated into the jade pendant, causing a special reaction with the original jade. The effect is 18% stronger than that of regular ice jade. (Inferior quality, man-made wonders)]

"If the amount of this kind of raw material is large, it is indeed valuable." Lu Yuan nodded.

Don't think that this is just low-quality material, but you must know that in the face of the ever-expanding population, the dream of having an extraordinary item is far away - even if the wealth of Green City is still far behind.

So this kind of low-level material is welcome in Green City!

"We do have quite a few."

Seeing that Mailu City had reached a preliminary cooperation intention, Ulan City was a little anxious. However, they had no specialty products and their pockets were empty, which made them feel uncomfortable.

"We have some aura in our treasury. What is the price of your technology products?" Tagang, the lord of Ulan City, bit the bullet and took out his family's heritage.

"My lord." The great bachelor sitting aside called in a low voice.

Their accumulation over the years only amounted to more than two hundred auras.

On average, there are only 1-2 points of aura in a year.

Lingyun has many uses. It can speed up the cultivation of extraordinary fire, improve the quality of craftsmen when forging it, and even many idealistic creations require aura to provide energy!

Ta Gang turned his head and took a look, signaling him to calm down.

It's always right to ask about the price first. The worst thing is...you don't have to buy it.

Lu Yuan smiled: "We have a lot of stuff... feel free to take a look."

The secretaries nearby handed over several tablet computers, which displayed a list of supplies that Green City could provide.

Because things happened in a hurry, this list is actually not complete. It mainly focuses on the material system of Lan Peng civilization.

When traveling in Pangu Continent, you always have to hide something.

Humanity's most high-end technological products are not suitable for display. Selling some outdated equipment can be regarded as clearing the inventory.

But it was obvious that the two city lords were slightly shocked by the richness of this list, and were stunned for a moment.

"What is this... cannon?"

Tagang pointed at a black barrel.

Duke Lan Peng said loudly: "Yes, this is the seahorse anti-aircraft gun developed by our Lan Peng clan. The maximum range using conventional rockets is 45 kilometers, and the maximum range using guided rockets is 70 kilometers. It is a civilized war Excellent choice.”

"Oh, you may not know how long a meter is... This is a ruler, you can measure it yourself."

"And the shells are very cheap and easy to maintain."

"As for the power of the shells."

"Boom!" A video image of cannon fire appeared on the tablet, and the bomb exploded, creating a crater.

The two city lords trembled together.

They also know about cannons. Many cities have them. They are powerful in long-distance shooting, but they are useless in close combat.

It's just that the power and range provided by Green City are much greater than they imagined.

"How much?"

"The price is negotiable. Our preference is for one Lingyun."

"It's too expensive..." The price made them turn blue.

"Ahem, we have to let specialized negotiators discuss the details. Buy a cannon and get hundreds of shells for free. Anyway, the price is easy to negotiate."

"How many?"

Duke Lanpeng waved his hand: "You can get as many as you want! There are currently a thousand cannons in stock, and discounts are available for large quantities! We deliver them to your door. It's not easy to walk on this icy and snowy road, so just deliver them to your door."

The two city lords were both shocked. It's not that these cannons are too cheap... but why do you have so many cannons?

What is the concept of a thousand cannons? The annual maintenance costs alone are astronomical.

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive." Tagang muttered to himself.

You must know that 1 Lingyun is a very large unit, and the cannon of the dwarves only has 0.4 Lingyun.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body was filled with excitement.

Door-to-door delivery is a very high requirement—the dwarves do not have this service.

Now there are negotiators from two cities!

What they worry about is what if the other side's city buys a lot of cannons and bulldozes their own city?

The greatest profit in this world is robbery, but the soul can squeeze out the aura!

God's skills are quite valuable!

The skill of one **** is dozens of auras!

It’s not that they don’t understand this truth. Spending a hundred souls to buy cannons and loot other civilizations is definitely a huge benefit.

The two city lords looked at each other, invisible fireworks clashing in the air.

Don't buy cannons to rob me! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

Don't rob me either!

Finally, the two stopped again and took a few deep breaths.

There is no way, after all, we are still compatriots, and there is still intermarriage between cities, so it will not be to squeeze the soul.

But the next picture shocked their minds once again.

"Is this...an airship? An airship?"

This huge reinforced concrete structure rose from the ground and carried tens of thousands of tons of cargo at one time.

The thick shell, huge tonnage, and roaring propellers bring a full sense of security.

"Huh-" They couldn't help exhaling a foul breath from their mouths.

You must know that in the icy and snowy environment of the North, transportation is very inconvenient.

Most civilizations still use pack animals to pull sleds to transport goods!

But even if the beasts in the supernatural world are stronger, how much cargo can they transport? A few tons at a time is the limit!

Therefore, a powerful civilization will choose to build rail trains. However, the weather often snows, and the maintenance cost of rail tracks is quite high. Rail tracks are usually only used to connect mines and cities.

To sum up, the best long-distance transportation method between cities is naturally airship! In order to avoid natural disasters, the bigger the airship, the better, and the heavier the better!

When a snowstorm comes, the airship can land on the ground and take a rest.

On the road again after the snowstorm.

It can be said that airships are the economic foundation of a strong civilization!

Without civilized trade, living in a corner would lead to poverty and there would be no way out.

"What's the carrying capacity of your airship?" the bachelor asked.

"You can have as much as you want." Lu Yuan said decisively.

They even sent out two floating cities. The tonnage of this kind of floating fortress can indeed be increased infinitely.

"Sir, don't be joking. How can the load capacity be infinite? Can your materials expand infinitely?"

Because this fortress was a gift from the Lan Peng people, Duke Lan Peng explained: "You may have misunderstood. This suspended fortress is made of 'Pandora crystals' and is not an ordinary hot air balloon. The basic principle is It’s the anti-gravity principle of Pandora crystal.”

"I see... I've heard about this. It's very expensive." The bachelor and the leader of his family whispered a few words.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

The anti-gravity system of Pandora Crystal cannot be used just when you want. It must use electricity to supply energy, and the power must be adjusted! Therefore, only technological civilization can play this thing.

"The one we are currently showing has a rated load capacity of 38,000 tons."

"There are two large steam engines inside, which can burn coal or oil, and there are 4 large propellers. There are also drifting glyphs on the walls of the fortress, which can make it fly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of It’s 100 kilometers per hour!”

"The suspended fortress made by our Green City can carry the daily life of 4,000 people. It can also land safely on the ground in bad weather. It has temperature control glyphs inside and the walls have strong heat insulation capabilities."

"Even more, we have arranged large plantations where green vegetables can be grown to prevent scurvy."

This series of data directly stuns people.

Of course, the price of this large airship is not low. The price of a full 240 spiritual yuan frightened all the indigenous people.

It's so expensive that you have to pool the entire city's assets to afford it.

Lu Yuan felt that this Lan Peng man was too greedy.

This floating fortress has been used for so long, 24 auras is considered the cost price.

For 30 Lingyun, he sold it.

As a result, this Lan Peng man wanted to sell it for 240... He couldn't bear it.

But the Ulan clan seems to be a little moved. How much change can a suspended fortress bring to the city? Even if you just run around doing business, you can make money back sooner or later!

"Hold it! If you bargain for a while, you may get a preferential price."

"Be sure not to act too impulsively, otherwise it will be fish on the chopping board!" they secretly warned themselves.

The next product looks very strange, like a large glass window, all blue, quite beautiful.

"This is…"

"Ahem, this is a solar panel, mixed with glyph technology and energy storage technology. It can collect sunlight during the day and store electricity for easy use at night."

"The light radiation here is not too strong, but it still meets the minimum usage standards."

"The design standard of our Lan Peng family is to be able to go into space, so it is absolutely excellent in cold resistance! This solar panel is durable and has a shelf life of more than fifty years! If it is well maintained, it can be used for hundreds of years without any problems." This blue-haired bird man is sure to win.

It seems like it’s just the icing on the cake, something that improves life.

But the price is cheap. A solar panel only costs 0.05 aura, which sounds exciting.

This thing can generate electricity, boil water, take hot showers, and power lights.

As a noble, can't you enjoy it?

A piece of jade pendant that you carry with you can be exchanged for a solar panel, and you can enjoy the next few hundred years. Is it still a mistake?

"Don't worry, look again, look again..."

"This again?"

"A generator only needs fuel to generate electricity normally. If you don't have gasoline, cooking oil can barely do the job, but its lifespan may be shortened."

Somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectation, these guys thought about it for a while and then actually shook their heads and gave up!

Buying a solar panel for your own use is barely acceptable.

They simply cannot afford the large-scale development of electric power technology because laying wires requires a large amount of copper metal.

What's more, generators need to consume fuel, and the price of this thing is too high, many times higher than coal.

"What is this thing?" They saw a strange tall tower. There was a boiler in the center of the tower, and many thick iron pipes were wrapped around the boiler.

"This is... an iron-making blast furnace." Lu Yuan sighed. Isn't this a junk thing that they eliminated and has been gathering dust for a long time? Will it really not blow up the furnace if sold?

The deputy sitting on the side explained: "You only need to put in iron ore and coal to smelt iron. Generally, smelting 1 ton of pig iron requires 1.5-2.0 tons of iron ore, 0.4-0.6 tons of coke, 0.2-0.4 tons of flux, a total of 2-3 tons of raw materials are needed.”

"The capacity of this iron-making blast furnace is not large, with a daily output of about 320 tons. The cost of starting it once is very high, and continuous production is required to cover the cost."

Hearing these words, everyone in the Wulan clan was frightened. They actually had boilers, but they were just like domestic steelmaking, and their output and quality were far behind.

Although the blast furnace is good, can they afford the financial expenditure?

I browsed through the subsequent information, ranging from guns and other weapons, to various raw materials, to flashy extraordinary equipment.

There are even some customizations available!

For example, helping to create a field, treating cancer, repairing some soul injuries, etc. As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything!

Eye-opening, really eye-opening.

They have a new understanding of the power and richness of Green City.

If this is really a ruin, maybe... it can really become a high-level ruin!

At that moment, Tagang couldn't sit still and cleared his throat: "Dear friends from Green City, to be honest, we are short of money and cannot afford too many supplies... we must choose carefully."

"Please give us a moment for internal discussion."

"Now, we have a hard time deciding."

Lu Yuan nodded: "No problem, we have prepared a room for you, you can stay for a while. After discussing it, come to us at any time."

He did not mention anything related to “civilization points”.

The Northern Territory is a ghostly place with many civilizations. Perhaps information about "civilization points" has been circulated for a long time.

Therefore, there is no need to throw out your true purpose from the beginning.

Maybe the other party will take the initiative to bring this up?

The Wulan clan left in despair. It could be seen that they were really eager for these supplies.

Watching these indigenous people leave, the conference room was quiet for a while.

The rat craftsman took the lead and said with emotion: "The great commander Renyi is able to deal fairly with such a small city that is not even a first-class civilization."

"Although the price... haha, it is indeed a bit high. But who can criticize and accuse something that you and I agree on?"

Lu Yuan sighed: "The more I experience, the more I realize that everyone is just an ant struggling to survive in a sea of ​​suffering."

"We are indeed better than them now, but that doesn't mean it will always be smooth sailing. One more friend and one more path."

"Even if we can't become friends, it won't be a loss for us. Anyway, we will just sell them some obsolete goods."

"This is the truth..." Shu Gongye's beard trembled a few times.

Duke Lanpeng and Mr. Magmet also sighed lightly.

Everything in the world is easier said than done. Everyone knows that "humility makes people progress, and pride makes people weak." However, arrogance is common in the world.

Just like their Lan Peng civilization, it is a proud civilization.

This kind of arrogance is reflected in all aspects of life, and there is a heartfelt sense of superiority when facing the weak.

However, the Lan Peng civilization is only one night away from destruction... What is the meaning of arrogance?

The main reason why human beings can never be satisfied and correct their attitudes is that the leader is indeed a tolerant person, which indirectly affects the entire civilization.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, I recently had a burst of inspiration and got a little harvest. Or, can we all exchange ideas?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey orders. The great master's inspiration is very precious!" The rat craftsmen immediately became excited.

"Recently, I had a sudden thought and gained a little understanding of the integration, separation and essence of extraordinary abilities..."

"I found that the most important thing is the underlying spiritual imprint. These things are the most primitive spiritual mechanism, just like gears, one ring nested inside another."

"If you can see even one ten thousandth of it, you can create top-notch good things without inspiration."

Duke Lanpeng himself is not a craftsman, and he doesn't understand much. He is just curious.

Those rat men, with their pupils shining brightly, took a breath of cold air.

"The imprint of idealism... is really a remarkable research product."

"Commander Lu, there are some taboos in studying the imprints on the bottom, so you should take it easy!"

"Why is there such a taboo?" When they said this, Lu Yuan suddenly felt bad.

"Think about it, the use of extraordinary abilities is a very common thing. But how many civilizations will study its true nature?" Shu Gongye touched his beard, "Just like lightning, it has always been in nature. Existence. But what period does it take to truly understand lightning?”

"It's like breathing, drinking, and eating. Things that seem to be taken for granted actually have very complex life mechanisms."

"The same is true for extraordinary abilities. Only those powerful civilizations can study their underlying mechanisms and even create brand new abilities!"
