The world enters the age of mythology.

"Could it be that the helmet played a role?" Lu Yiming was slightly suspicious, but he quickly reacted and pulled his hands together, which is also a very common etiquette.

The middle-aged man in black said again: "Welcome friends from afar, come to the Bolier League, I am the diplomat to receive you, Conn."

"We have rich products and many civilizations here, and we have everything you want. Including islands that are always safe, as long as you join the Bolier Alliance, you can get our asylum."

"We are a civilization that advocates peace, and we are willing to develop together with other civilizations. We have developed this idea helmet, and you can talk to us directly in your local language."

"Dear Your Excellency Kang En, how much is an island?" Lu Yiming asked straight to the point.

They don't even need a translator, the other party can understand directly through the silver-white helmet.

"Do you have a question about buying an island...need to negotiate with our professional consul. The bigger the island, the more expensive the price, the more remote, the smaller the island, the cheaper the price." Hearing that there is a big deal, Zhong The young man immediately burst into an excited smile.

At the same time, he quietly looked at the destroyer dispatched by Yunhai.

His heart suddenly moved, technological civilization... definitely a real technological civilization!

The population does not seem to be too large. This destroyer is not too big. It is already the upper limit to feed 1000 people, and it does not seem to be very advanced. Some of the paint has faded.

Their Bolier civilization has also mastered technology to a certain extent, so they are not too worried about this technological civilization with a relatively small population.

But it cannot be ruled out that the opponent still has a base camp squatting behind.

Chapter 519 Investigating the situation

Lu Yiming asked, "Do you have a relevant world map here?"

"Of course there are. These maps are drawn by airplanes, so they are accurate...By the way, you must have invented airplanes, right?"

"Um... you mean the aerial vehicle?"

"Yes, yes, sure enough, chatting with knowledgeable civilizations is smooth! The manufacture of aircraft is quite difficult..."

The Bolier people were beaming, and while showing off their industrial capabilities, they handed over a picture scroll.

"Hey, the cost of flying an airplane is too high to be able to fly at all. Besides, after the disaster here, we can no longer manufacture airplanes. Could it be that your civilization can still produce airplanes?" Lu Yiming complimented the other party indiscriminately, facing the world I studied the map for a while.

"Ah, the production of aircraft is also quite difficult for us."

These islands are distributed in a ring shape, and the farthest small island is only 0.9 square kilometers away, [-] kilometers away, and it is simply a lonely one.

The largest island is naturally the one under their feet, with a total of 420 square kilometers, occupying more than half of the total land area.It seems that the Bollier Alliance drew this map after careful measurement.

Lu Yiming's memory is very good, and he quickly compared this map with the investigation report of the Yunhai for a while, and there was almost no difference.

The map was correct, and he handed it back.

"Dear guests, I think you must be willing to visit the Exchange Square. There are many civilizations and our office there."

While talking, a truck drove over.

The Bolliers made a gesture telling them to get in their cars and head to the refuge center.

"Then I will trouble you to lead the way." Lu Yiming, who is also a bold artist, readily agreed.

The car drove everyone to the big square 5 kilometers away.

This man from Bolier country seemed to be very satisfied with his car, and kept introducing its functions and principles.

It seems that a technological civilization has come, which makes him even more excited...

This is a high-tech product, and ordinary civilization cannot produce it at all!

And those ancient civilizations, it is impossible to understand the superb technology of automobiles, and there is no way to understand the difficulties of industrial development. Only scientific and technological civilizations can understand each other.

Most of the roads here are gravel roads, but the central trading square is paved with cement roads, which looks relatively smooth.

"...Every country that joins the Bollier Union will set up an embassy here, which is also a place for mutual transactions. This large square is the place where everyone trades. If you are interested, you can go shopping inside, of course , for each transaction, we will charge a certain transaction tax.”

"If you want to buy an island, you can go to the house over there to negotiate, and there will be someone to meet you... Buying an island is very expensive. If your side is really poor, you can also cooperate with other civilizations to jointly buy an island. "The Bolier man bowed his body and said.

This Bollier civilization should be a part of the Western cultural circle, so that the behavior, habits, movements and expressions of this diplomat are all in line with Western culture.

Their thinking should also be biased towards the West, and their expressions are exaggerated.

Western thinking, to put it bluntly, is a Darwinian society, whoever has the biggest fist is the best.

Although the superficial strength of Lu Yiming and others is only one destroyer, they can be regarded as a part of technological civilization.These diplomats saw that Lu Yiming and others were treated with courtesy, and they were more enthusiastic.

The scientific and technological strength of the Bolier people, from the outside, is almost the same as it was in the 20s and 70s. They have invented automobiles, airplanes, and ships.But the research on electronic products is still in the preliminary stage. Of course, this planet has a silent field, and radio communication is almost useless, only wired phones can be used.

As for whether there are nuclear bombs, people are still unclear for the time being, and the total population is also unknown.The opponent's residential area and administrative area are not open.

After coming to this square, people saw all kinds of strange crowds, all of them wearing strange clothes.

It should be people from other civilization circles.

These people just looked at Lu Yiming and the others slightly, but they didn't take the initiative to talk to them.

Obviously, because there are too many civilizations in this world in the short term, I was a little surprised at first, but then I didn't feel too much.

Lu Yiming tried to ask: "Dear Mr. Conn, what kind of goods do you receive here? What kind of price do you need to pay for buying the most remote island?"

"If I want to trade with other civilizations here, what will they accept? What kind of procedures are required?"

The middle-aged man wearing a special helmet said: "The first kind of common goods is food. But if you want to buy islands, food is far from enough. After all, we... have passed the stage of food shortage."

After all, the Bollier civilization is also a technological civilization, and self-sufficiency is not a problem at all.

"You can sell food to other civilizations if they need it."

"If you can brew grain into high alcohol, the price we give is actually higher than grain. Many of our cars here use alcohol as fuel."

"The second type of cargo is various minerals and various metals. Seeing that you have developed a certain degree of technology here, I might as well explain clearly that the metal minerals on this planet are very rare. The major islands discovered so far , can hardly find any ore that can be mined."

"There may be minerals on the seabed, but the cost of mining is huge. With our technological strength, there is no way to mine minerals at a depth of 600 meters."

Conn, the diplomat, stretched out a finger: "So metal is quite valuable... If you can sell 5 tons of metal, you can choose an island of [-] square kilometers at will."

1 million tons!

Lu Yiming was startled, it happened to be the weight of that destroyer.

These Bolier people, don't they want that destroyer...

Of course, [-] tons of metal is not much for the resource reserve of the entire Yunhai, and it can still be provided.

Lu Yiming didn't speak directly, but shook his head slightly, the price was still a bit too high.

He didn't believe that those ancient civilizations could afford [-] tons of metal to buy islands.Such a high price, even if the Yunhai is rich and powerful, can afford it, can other ancient civilizations also afford it?

Like the Jin Empire, they couldn't afford so much metal at all. It is still a question of whether the armor, knives, farm tools, iron pots, etc. of the entire Qianlong Island add up to [-] tons.

So, he couldn't easily agree to this price.

"If you can't afford this price, you can also use the wonders of the universe... We pay a high price to buy the wonders of the universe." Seeing his expression, the Bolliers seemed to have guessed something, and smiled, "It's like the one on my head. The helmet has a certain ability to translate, it is a special kind of cosmic device, and it comes from the precious technological heritage of Xia civilization."

"The value of a helmet can be exchanged for an island of 10 square kilometers!"

Strange items should refer to supernatural items.

This helmet that can translate can be regarded as a top-level strategic material.Xia Wenming's precious scientific and technological heritage, I don't know whether it is boastful or true...

"There is a high probability that what he said is true." An emotional observer made a gesture.

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, "Oh, I can understand that Xia Wenming's inheritance is indeed precious. It's just a pity that we didn't have such good luck to pick up Xia Wenming's inheritance."

Those ancient civilizations should have sold some of their heritage to get a chance to survive...

If you think about it, it's a pretty good deal.

Fighting and plundering, after all, will kill people. When super powers are weakened, no civilization is willing to stand up to the gunfire and fight to the death with a seemingly powerful technological civilization.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to sell some supernatural items to gain a chance of survival.

Of course, on the side of the Sea of ​​Clouds, there is no need to sell these strategic resources because they are rich and powerful.

"What about the price of technological products?" Lu Yiming asked.

"This... depends on what kind of technological products you can provide." The Bolier said, "Like this car under my feet, five hundred cars can be exchanged to a relatively remote island."

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive! This won't work, it's too expensive." Lu Yiming said.Five hundred cars, in terms of value, must be much higher than [-] tons of steel.

"Because most cars consume oil." The diplomat said with a smile: "There is almost no oil on this planet, or it is buried deep in the seabed. Without enough oil, what is the use of cars? Of course, If you can provide alcohol-based cars, 100 will be enough."

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, and it sounded reasonable. In fact, on the Yunhai side, gasoline-burning cars have almost been eliminated, and electric cars are commonly used.

He said silently: "Sorry, we don't have this kind of car."

The Bollier native said proudly: "It doesn't matter, we are already able to produce this kind of car. We buy grain, and most of it is used to make industrial raw materials such as methanol and ethanol. If your side can manufacture these industrial raw materials, our purchase price Higher than food."

Finally, he whispered: "The last point, human trafficking is also possible. We also buy human beings, and...we charge a high price, which is higher than other civilizations. With a population of 1000, you can get a small island of 5 square kilometers, That's equivalent to 10 tons of metal for one person!"

"Of course, you can also trade with other civilizations in exchange for resources, and then buy islands. The price difference depends on your own grasp."

Chapter 520 Knowledge Transfer

After listening to the other party's introduction, Lu Yiming's expression didn't change at all, but a lot of doubts arose in his heart. The Bollier civilization seems to be a technological civilization, so what do you want to buy the population for?Could it be... offering sacrifices to evil gods?

Or trade with other civilizations?

With this in mind, he nodded expressionlessly.

He asked again: "Your Excellency, can you tell me what the disaster on this planet is?"

As a result, the diplomat of the Bollier civilization opened his hands as if embracing the future: "Don't worry, there are no disasters! We have lived here for five years, yes, you heard it right, five full years , there has never been any disaster!"

"Of course, the electromagnetic wave in this place is a bit disordered, and the super power phenomenon has also been greatly weakened. This is a good thing, which means that those messy monsters have also been weakened... just one bullet can kill them."

"You only need to buy an island, and you can live here permanently! Please rest assured, we are definitely a civilization that advocates peace and respects human rights... As long as you buy an island, it is yours, and no civilization can invade your island .”

This guy was chattering about selling his own island, and showing off his own strength faintly.

Lu Yiming always felt weird, but he couldn't tell what kind of weird method it was for a while...

These Bolliers seem a little too generous.

Moreover, it seems a bit strange to boast about one's own strength.

This may have something to do with ideology. Xia people tend to be reserved and low-key, while Westerners always like to show off.

He thought in his heart: "Put yourself and others in mind, if the Sea of ​​Clouds is the Bollier civilization that first discovered this new world, would it make the same decision?"

the answer is……

Yes, but also no.

There are too many civilizations here, and having an island to settle is the life and death line of these ancient civilizations.

Most ancient civilizations must supplement material resources.

Without land to settle, they will die.

They will stop at nothing to survive.

Even the Sea of ​​Clouds can't afford to go to war with other civilizations every three days.

This world has a silent field, and the supernatural power has been greatly weakened, but it does not mean that it cannot be used.

More than 20 ancient civilizations, if each civilization has a strong hole card, it is not impossible for ants to kill elephants.

In this case, the Sea of ​​Clouds will also sell the islands, and occupying most of the area becomes...

But more restrictions will inevitably be made, subtly affecting the weaker ancient civilizations.

No matter what, the Sea of ​​Clouds will thoroughly investigate the ideology of a civilization, which one is more dangerous and which one is less dangerous, before making a planned division.

"This so-called Bolier Alliance has too loose restrictions. It didn't investigate our social form at all, and didn't understand our population size. It just sold us the island... Is the other party hiding any special purpose?"

"Selling the island to us, isn't there any special benefit?"

Thinking of this, an answer suddenly jumped out of his heart, "Evil God!"

Only the civilization that worships evil gods can eat meat and vegetables.

Because the evil god only needs more population!

The more people, the bigger the population, the better!

Because of this, the restrictions are quite loose.
