The world enters the age of mythology.

The old emperor of Jin Wenming was wearing casual clothes, and looked at the large destroyer with slightly cloudy eyes.

It was indeed a large ship made purely of steel, floating quietly on the sea.Only by observing it closely can one feel its majesty. It was never possible for ancient civilizations to build such a ship.

How bold!

Steel is a really good thing. If the two sides collide, the steel giant ship can smash the wooden ship to pieces just by virtue of its tonnage...

"What a big ship!"

If it were 20 years ago, when the Great Jin Empire still existed, they would be proud and closed their doors. When they saw these items, they would even mistakenly think that these creations were supported by magic!

How could steel float on water? !

How is it possible, it must be sorcery!

Recalling these past events, the old emperor couldn't help shaking his head, lamenting the pedantry and stupidity of the past, which is no different from mental retardation...

When they had just escaped and entered Yanghe, they had encountered a fairly friendly ancient civilization in the Great Jin Empire.

In the hands of this ancient civilization, people saw a real steam locomotive!

Don't think that the civilizations fleeing on the Yang River are all fools. There are still many civilizations that want to develop technology.

Although the development of science and technology is a bit difficult, as long as it enters the era of the first industrial revolution, it is enough to defeat most agricultural civilizations and allow the people to live a better life. .

But at that time, the sound of the steam engine stunned the emperor at that time, and the loud "chug chug" made his ears roar.

And he also discovered that the train driver dared to sit in front of him!

It really makes no sense!

At that time, the emperor of the Jin Empire would rather have a human-drawn cart than take a steam locomotive.

So, I missed an excellent opportunity to communicate...

"Steam locomotives, if they existed at that time, how wonderful it would be."

These memories can't help but make the old emperor smile wryly. He missed the opportunity and waited for the crisis to happen. Naturally, more people need to die.

The former emperor, in a certain turmoil... died!

Then, the current emperor can take the throne.

In one disaster after another, not only him, but also many ministers had to change their traditional thinking, and lived tremblingly until now.

At this time, all the ministers began to discuss in a low voice, more agreeing that what General Zhao Yi said was true.These ministers are generally more open-minded.

"Your Majesty, look behind, the place further behind is the opponent's base camp." A minister handed over a telescope.

Behind the destroyer, about 15 kilometers away, there is a huge steel floating island like a mountain!

This floating island is really too big, and there are many [-]-ton giant ships staying nearby. These giant steel ships look like little chickens in front of the super floating island.

"Technology... so good!" They couldn't help feeling deeply, "It is possible to create such a large steel floating island."

"yes……"

"Your Majesty, we will be there soon. In the other party's culture, there are gestures of bowing and handcuffing, which are similar to our habits, so... we still have to take the initiative to visit them."

"Don't call him Your Majesty when you're out of the house. Keep everything simple." The old emperor waved his hand, he took these things very lightly.

"Yes!"

One's own strength is not as good as others, so it is also necessary to visit the other party.

The Jin Empire lined up a total of more than 20 people and boarded the small wooden boat.

General Zhao was sliding the paddles on the wooden boat. The waves on the Yanghe River were not big, but everyone seemed very nervous.

The small wooden boat came near the destroyer, and it was still the same as before. After Lu Yiming ordered the ladder to be lowered, more than 20 people from Jin Wenming climbed up the deck along the ladder.

The two sides bowed to each other, which was regarded as a friendly greeting.

"Dear Jin Wenming envoys, hello, we welcome you." Lu Yiming waved his hand and invited them to sit at a large table.

There are some blooming flowers on the table, but the fruit is gone, so as not to seduce the gluttons in the parrot's stomach and miss the two parties' affairs.

These Jin people seemed very polite, even though they were curious about the surrounding facilities, they didn't look around.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, stretched out a hand, pointed in the direction of the destroyer headquarters, and introduced actively: "Friends who have come from afar, as you can see, we are a civilization that focuses on the development of science and technology. .We advocate rationality, love peace, and are willing to communicate with your civilization on an equal footing and make progress together..."

It must be right to say some polite words at the beginning.

"Respected Yunhai Civilization, hello." The leader, General Zhao Yi, cupped his hands.

The parrot standing on his shoulder also nodded his head imitatively, and began to translate seriously.

This time, the golden parrot brought by Jin Wenming finally played its role.

Its supernatural language expresses extremely clear and complete meanings.When talking, he will look towards people, his eyes are piercing, as if he has his own wisdom.

Just the parrot alone makes people feel good.

When it is not talking, it keeps its head up, proud and elegant, and it will not be attracted by the new things around it.

The members of the think tank hidden in the cabin couldn't help discussing that this parrot is the real high-end product!

The blue parrot I bought back two days ago is a gluttonous low-end product, and can curse at people. It's really uneducated.

"The difference is too great. The same kind of super power, used by different birds, is almost completely different."

"Now I kind of believe in the idea of ​​blood."

But it's normal to think about it. How can a real high-end product be sold cheaply for two hundred bulbs?

On the contrary, the ether value detector detected some other information. Jin Lili reported in a low voice: "The golden parrot's mental strength is also around 300...not too high."

"Some of them wear black armor, and generally have a mental strength of about 3... I don't know what the special ability is. If this kind of armor can be manufactured in large quantities, can I buy a set and study it?"

The strength of 3 is already a level higher than the limit of human beings.

"Yes, find a way to buy a set of armor. The Jin civilization must hide a lot of good things."

Of course, generally speaking, unless it is of great interest, the Yunhai will not choose to go to war and rob.

On the one hand, the robbery will have a certain impact on the internal social atmosphere of the Yunhai.

There will always be a difference between a just war and an unjust war, and the response of public opinion among the people is different.

On the other hand, once a war starts, people will die anyway. God knows how powerful an ancient civilization will explode in a desperate situation. It is not worthwhile if thousands of soldiers are killed.

The development of science and technology and social progress is to protect more lives, not to develop for the sake of development, otherwise it is putting the cart before the horse.

So, in the relevant meeting, one point was made clear: as long as it can be traded fairly and exchanged at equal value, such things as robbery are not too necessary.

In other words, earning a little less...isn't much of a problem.

It is an inevitable phenomenon that the trade of industrial civilization to agricultural civilization will form a scissors gap.

If it can be solved with money, there is no need to use force to solve it with the lives of soldiers.

Dozens of people from the Great Jin Empire found their seats and sat down.

The old emperor sat behind Zhao Yi, slightly to the right.

After the two parties were courteous, Lu Yiming didn't talk nonsense with the other party, and said straight to the point: "Dear Jin Empire, we are looking for breakthroughs in supernatural science. If your civilization has special birds and beasts, mysterious supernatural items, or What we don't know about the supernatural, we'll pay enough for it."

He made a few gestures, and took out a picture of a balance: "We advocate the principle of equivalent exchange. We have traded with many civilizations. We must have the knowledge or items you desire. In addition to population, We can buy and sell anything here, as long as you can afford it.”

The tiny camera responsible for translation is a bit of a struggle.

It has been brewing for a long time, and I don't know whether the other party can understand the terms such as "supernatural knowledge", anyway, I just said it out of my head.

"Buzz...buzz!"

The yelling like mosquitoes appeared in the minds of every Jin countryman, making people a little irritable. This is the instinctive sequelae of the camera language.However, with the self-cultivation of the Jin people, it is easy to suppress this irritability.

"Don't trade people? That's a good thing." People in Jin Wenming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this sentence.

Even though their Lord Jiaolong has confirmed that this technological civilization does not worship evil gods, he is still relieved after hearing this sentence.

Lu Yiming is not bragging, people have traded with two civilizations: the first is the human beings on Curse Continent, the yellow paper that costs 10 yuan sells for 400; a ton of nuclear power plant fuel costs 2 yuan, The manufacturing cost of nuclear fuel is about 1500 million.

There are also precious metals such as gold and silver. The purchase price of a ton of gold is 5 yuan. The production cost of gold... is about 200-250 yuan per gram!

In this transaction, Yunhai has made a lot of money.

As for the last transaction, 200 light bulbs were exchanged for a parrot. The industrial cost of the light bulbs is very cheap, 3 yuan each, adding up to 600 in total.The cyan parrot has a small amount of supernatural power. It can also speak and translate. Even if it has no research value, it is estimated to be worth 1 yuan...

No matter what, such a big lump of meat, even if it is slaughtered and eaten, it is not a loss!

Don't blame the people in the Sea of ​​Clouds for their black hearts, because knowledge is the real wealth!

Without enough knowledge and enough industrial power, even if you have mines in your hands, you can't use them.It's better to sell it, and you can get some start-up funds to make your life better.

Chapter 490 Medical Drugs

The second civilization that the Sea of ​​Clouds came into contact with was naturally the Nubi civilization.Well, the Nubi civilization has been completely wiped out, but that's because the Nubi civilization took the initiative to provoke trouble, and the Yunhai really wanted peaceful trade at the beginning!

Therefore, when Lu Yiming said these words, he felt very at ease!

Even if the other party has superpowers related to mind reading, he is not afraid of the oblique shadow, and he does not need to be afraid of the other party's mind reading skills!

On the other hand, the people from Jin Wenming only understood a rough idea of ​​various technical terms, but they still understood the core idea.

"They have a big appetite! They actually want to buy these things..."

The old emperor's expression changed slightly. Any knowledge related to superpowers is the first-class precious trading item in Yanghe!

If it were not for extremely closely related civilizations, generally speaking, such transactions would not be possible.

Because supernatural power is the main core of the survival of these civilizations to the present.Most civilizations don't have technology, and when they encounter disasters, they can only rely on the superpowers at hand... How could this kind of bargaining chip be traded rashly?

However, the old emperor remained calm and did not speak directly.

After all, this sea of ​​clouds civilization is a scientific and technological civilization, and when it comes to contact, it is different from traditional civilization.

The Jin civilization knew too little about technological civilization.I only know that the other party may be very strong. I don't have enough experience to judge how strong it is, and I don't know what the other party thinks.

Since the old emperor didn't speak, everything was planned as usual.

General Zhao Yi thought for a while and said, "Your civilization...what does it sell?"

He made a few gestures and boasted: "Our Great Jin country is rich in products, rare birds and animals, natural materials and earth treasures, everything is there. Equivalent exchange, what is the equivalent exchange method? Can you explain in detail? "

The parrot translated it in its own mysterious language.

"This is very simple. Super items are exchanged for super items. Ordinary goods are exchanged for goods. As long as both parties are satisfied, they can be exchanged directly. We will not buy or sell by force."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "If you are willing to exchange supernatural items for our technological products, we will not object. Of course, your items must have sufficient research value and must be identified by our experts. There will be an appropriate price.”

Most of the supernatural items actually have no research value... It can't be said that they have no research value, but no enlightenment value.

Most supernatural items are equivalent to isolated islands in the vast ocean.

Every isolated island is different, even if people try their best to study one of the items thoroughly, they cannot apply the same method to other supernatural items.

In this way, it appears to be thankless and of little research value.

Just like Goldbach's conjecture, as "the jewel in the crown of mathematics", but the research value is not great, because it is an island problem and cannot be connected with other propositions.Overcoming Goldbach's conjecture will not bring about two reactions.

The Riemann conjecture, also as an unsolved mystery of the world, is of great value and attracts a large number of talents to study it, because it is a continent, and solving the Riemann conjecture means solving a series of hundreds of thousands of problems behind , and even have a profound impact on industry, finance, and cryptography.

So, what people need is a continent! !

For example, "X element", "residue of resentment", "spiritual energy" and so on, these things that can derive a whole system are of research value.

"Well...we can show the goods first."

Lu Yiming took out a tablet and showed it to Jin Wenming's envoy.

"The photos show the goods that my civilization can provide. You can take a look, and I will give a corresponding explanation here. You can flip through the photos by swiping your finger, yes, that's it..."

The first photo shows pistols, rifles and other ammunition.

For ancient civilizations, these small arms were huge sellers.

No matter how awesome the super power is, it takes energy to activate it.No matter how strong the superpowers are, they still need to sleep and rest. If they take advantage of the rest time and headshot with a bullet, it will be impossible for a god to save them.

Moreover, weapons such as firearms are easy to maintain, just apply a little vegetable oil to prevent them from rusting.

Of course, the Yunhai will definitely not provide heavy weapons such as rocket launchers, otherwise it will threaten itself.

"Here we are, it's called a 'gun,' you know."
