The world enters the age of mythology.

"Let's make it cheaper." Lu Yiming said, "8000 million is too expensive."

"It's really hard for us to afford such a price. Although we are a technological civilization..."

"Ahem, not expensive, not expensive... After joining the Bollier Alliance, you can get a fixed trading position in this square. This embassy is given away for free, with a total of 300 square meters. And, your civilization will Receiving the military protection of the Bollier Alliance, no one is allowed to land on your territory without permission, otherwise it will be regarded as an act of war...The Bollier Alliance will also impose a series of trade sanctions on it."

"Trade sanctions...the civilizations don't have much trade in the first place." Lu Yiming shrugged his nose. Why does this phrase sound so strange?

This guy took out a stack of thick documents and read the information on it one by one. It sounds like an explanation of national sovereignty. If outsiders violate national sovereignty, the Bollier Alliance will provide protection and conduct trade Sanctions and more.

Lu Yiming felt that these regulations were nonsense, and even Zhao Yi and others from Jin Wenming fell asleep after hearing them. No one would be naive enough to really believe these regulations.

The greatest truth in this world is the fist!

The fist is big enough, and everything is easy to talk about. Under the deterrence of force, even civilizations that worship evil gods and have mental problems do not dare to make random mistakes.

If the fist is not big enough, it is useless to please anyone.

Where in the world is there a free lunch?

In the end, it was time to bargain. After a half-day price cut, the price was only reduced by 1000 million yuan, and finally the deal was sold at a price of 7000 million yuan.

"Then 7000 million, no less. After buying this small island, the sea area with a radius of 10 kilometers is yours!"

After reaching this agreement, Lu Yiming returned to the destroyer and simply estimated the supplies that could be provided.

People only brought 100 tons of spare fuel oil, which has a high calorific value, and it is no problem to sell 4 to 5 yuan per ton of fuel oil.

There is no oil on this planet, and fuel with high calorific value will only be used in weapons and equipment, and it is normal to sell it more expensive.

Chapter 525 Weirdness

Before departure, because it already knew that there was civilization here, the Sea of ​​Clouds also brought some precious metals as a gift during the exchange of civilizations.

The four ancient civilizations all regarded gold as a valuable item, and ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Persia also regarded gold as a rare metal in the era of inconvenient communication. This is one of the very rare and special consensuses.

Most of the civilizations on the Yang River also have this consensus.

Surprisingly, the price of precious metals is quite valuable!The price of gold is 300 yuan per gram!

The price of silver is about 50 yuan per gram, and many civilizations need these precious metals. They are very easy to sell, and the price is also very firm. As long as someone sells it, someone will definitely buy it.

According to this price calculation, a kilogram of gold bars is 30!

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, feeling a little curious and confused about this fact.

I don't know why these civilizations need so many precious metals...

The Sea of ​​Clouds still has a lot of reserves of gold and silver resources. At the beginning, it transported about 40 tons of gold bars in the Grudge Continent, and the equivalent price was about 120 billion.As for silver, which is a very important industrial metal, the reserves are even larger, around 540 tons.

Of course, what they are currently carrying is only 20 kilograms of gold and 100 kilograms of silver, which is equivalent to about 500 million yuan.

Faced with people's behavior of selling gold and silver, the diplomats of the Bollier civilization seemed very excited. They hardly countered the price. Instead, they added 10% to the price and settled the deal at a price of 700 million.

"After thinking about it, it should have something to do with the sacrifice, otherwise there is no need to buy gold and silver..." Li Yao was quite puzzled by this situation.

"Many precious sacrificial utensils are made of gold, masks and scepters in Egypt, Buddha statues in India, etc., three gifts for Christians when they worship Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which symbolize kings, priests, and prophets respectively. .On the contrary, they are the ritual vessels in ancient my country, mainly jade and bronze wares."

There are also all kinds of arms and equipment. Lu Yiming does not want to sell high-end arms, nor does he want to sell high-standard technological equipment. It is not a good thing to expose his technological strength.So after thinking about it for a long time, I only sold some ordinary pistols, rifles, and some ammunition.

In the end, I sold spare speedboats, diving suits, etc., which had some technical content but were not too high.These goods are still very popular in ancient civilizations.

In this way, the cost of thirty-five million yuan was finally collected in bits and pieces.

This fee is an astronomical figure for an individual, but for the entire civilization of the Sea of ​​Clouds, it is really just a drop in the bucket, hardly considered a big price.

And Jin Wenming also sold gold and silver. They also sold some dragon scale armor, a large amount of food, and a few parrots with a certain ability to translate, so they stumbled to make up the cost.

Of course, they still owed Bolier Civilization hundreds of tons of grain. After all, this trip did not bring the grain, and credit is also possible.

"Your civilized barracks are still staying in the Yanghe River... No problem, no problem, as long as the credit is paid off within one month, otherwise interest will be calculated. It is calculated at 3% a month. If you pay it back in half a year If you don’t know, we will go to the door to confiscate the property in person.”

The diplomats of the Bollier civilization seemed very happy to have done such a large business.

Lu Yiming frowned slightly.

Anyway, the other party's expression looked very strange, as if he was not afraid of Yunhai and Jin Wenming, and looked more powerful than them...

He kept an eye out for it, and randomly signed the name "Lu Erming" on the agreement, for fear that he would be tricked by writing his real name.Anyway, things like agreements are meant to be torn up, and no one cares about its reliability.

The Bollier diplomat completed all the formalities and said excitedly: "Then, this island is yours! Please rest assured that due to its remote location, no one should take it rashly."

"We will also make room for your civilization near the central square. The initial area is 300 square meters. This part of the area is free. You have to build the house on it yourself. It cannot exceed 6 floors, nor can it more than 30 meters in height."

"If you want to expand the trading area, you have to buy it from us. It's not very expensive, 1000 yuan per square meter. But the maximum can only be expanded to 1000 square meters... Our land here is also limited, and there may be more in the future. How many civilizations will come? Haha, in the future, our place will definitely be more prosperous."

Lu Yiming nodded: "Please take the trouble to show us that island."

"OK, no problem……"

The diplomat quickly greeted a group of people and led them to the target island.

600 kilometers is still quite a distance. It took a total of 35 hours to travel, and Lu Yiming finally saw his own island...

Above is a lush coconut tree, with almost no traces of artificial buildings. The sharp-eyed Captain Li Yao even saw crabs crawling on the beach!

On one side of the island is a shallow water area, where corals and various fishes are faintly visible on the bottom of the sea.Unprecedented biological density, as if there really are no disasters in this world.

Jin Wenming's dragons were crazily fishing in the water, and they were full after eating seafood... They really didn't sense any danger, and started playing with each other in the ocean.Obviously, they also know that this is their future home.

On the other side of the island, the water depth increased significantly, as steep as a cliff, and two kilometers away was the deep water area, which exceeded 400 meters, just enough to accommodate the docking of the entire refuge.

Four kilometers away, the water depth even exceeded 4 meters.

"What a strange place, the slope changes so much. But... this small island is okay! The Bollier civilization is not deceiving." Lu Yiming looked at the sun above his head, the sun was very strong, and the temperature was about 30 Celsius.

He squinted at his future home.

Perhaps this world is the opportunity for the true rise of the Sea of ​​Clouds?

As for the danger here... There is a high probability that a certain civilization is making small moves, it may be the Bollier civilization, or it may be one of more than 20 ancient civilizations, one of which has not yet been investigated clearly.

As long as he survives here safely for 10 years, no, as long as 5 years, and digests the background at hand, the entire refuge will definitely become stronger.

Nearly a hundred soldiers and geography experts carefully measured the area of ​​the island, which was almost the same as the figure in the agreement.

A geography expert whispered: "Lu Li, the highest point of this island is 70 meters above the sea level. At night, the area of ​​the island will be submerged by the tide. But in the daytime, after the tide ebbs, it is indeed an agreement numbers on the

"How much will be submerged?" Lu Yiming asked.

"15% of the area, the problem is not too big, as long as we arrange some dams on the coastline, it will not be submerged by water."

"Okay, don't worry about their little tricks." Lu Yiming nodded.

The diplomatic team of Bolier Civilization was satisfied with seeing the other party, but also seemed a little tired.

The leading diplomat bowed and saluted, and said: "Since there is no objection from both sides, this island is yours. There is no other matter, so we will leave first... If there is a need for resources, you can also go to the trading The market trades."

"By the way, the 10-kilometer sea area is also yours! Within the 10-kilometer sea area, you can expel ships from other civilizations at will."

"Of course, other civilized islands also have such regulations. When encountering other small islands, please pay attention to this. Please don't approach rashly without the owner's permission to avoid a series of disputes."

Lu Yiming nodded, smiled and said, "Thank you for your company along the way. Thank you very much."

After watching them leave, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

It's great, it's great to have a piece of land that is still safe to go up!Although it is small, it has all internal organs, fertile soil, forests, and rocks, which is great...

Lu Yiming stepped on the sand on the beach and asked, "What do you think of this small island? During the exploration, you didn't find any danger."

"I haven't noticed the danger. This island is completely original. Insects and crabs are extremely active... But it's too small, really too small. It can only be used as a tourist attraction at best. A bigger tsunami , Maybe it will submerge this place. The highest point is only 70 meters, which is really not safe. We have to build some seawalls on the beach..."

"We can also build a temporary shelter here, so that tourists can relax in normal times, and we can also take refuge in emergencies."

Just when everyone was discussing vigorously, Li Yao rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel that here... this world, including that Bollier civilization, is a bit weird."

"Under the superficial order, there seems to be something hidden... I don't know why, the past few days of visits, there is always an unnatural feeling... From time to time, I feel frightened."

"They also bought gold and silver...it's kind of inexplicable."

The Bollier civilization is a civilization whose ideology is biased towards the West, and it is also possible to believe in religion.

In Western civilization, the value of gold is very high, because gold symbolizes God and glory, representing the perfection of a certain divine person.

"This Bollier civilization, how should I put it? There is always a feeling of disharmony. It does seem to be a technological civilization, but how can I say it..."

Lu Yiming also agrees with Li Yao's point of view. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I feel that they are a little nervous, deliberately showing off the strength of their family to us. What kind of car, protein and other knowledge should be shown off, as if I can't control my emotions."

"Even those civilizations that obviously raised evil gods don't have this weird feeling..."

Chapter 526

"Nouveau riche, yes! It's a feeling of nouveau riche!" Lu Yiming's eyes lit up, and he finally found a suitable adjective to describe this strange feeling.

"I always feel that the diplomat has an unnatural expression. His professional ability is in place and his knowledge level is not bad, but in some places...how should I put it, he looks a bit like an intern, as if he just learned it. In some places, The expressions and movements are too unrestrained."

Another expert also said: "It may also be because we do not have much contact between the two sides. The contact between us and the Bollier civilization is only those few diplomats, plus a few translators. The sample is too large. A little less."

This situation is like a junior high school student learning the term "quantum mechanics" and "quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics" in the QQ group all day long, looking for a sense of identity from others.

This is because junior high school students cannot control their emotions.

When you are young, you always have the desire to pretend.

It's like a nouveau riche who wears a gold necklace and ring on his body after becoming rich overnight, for fear that others will not know that he has become rich.

As a result, this Bollier civilization is actually like this, which is really confusing and strange.

"Sometimes it seems that the brain is broken again. Is it because of taking medicine?" Lu Yiming frowned, and then thought of Jin Wenming's divination results, and sighed: "No matter what, we can't spend the night on the Yang River , I still want to come to this world to take refuge."

"Yeah... Let's find a way to investigate when the time comes. Why don't you ask that little devil if you found anything?"

"good idea."

The little devil's super power in the silent field has been weakened by more than half, resulting in a poor mental state.

It was as timid as a mouse, always felt that some monster would jump out of the surrounding area, and ate it in one bite.

It is a big man with self-awareness, how can it die in this ghost place inexplicably? !

However, facing Lu Yiming's question, it was quite enthusiastic.

"Soul...soul..." it said in surprise.

"Soul, you said...their souls are polluted?" Lu Yiming frowned, "Didn't you not see the fluctuations of human souls?"

"Smell, can smell..." It shrugged its nose, "Weak feeling, the soul is polluted."

The soul is polluted, naturally it is because of the influence of evil gods.Speaking from the mouth of the little devil, it is almost a real hammer.

"Is there any more information?" Lu Yiming didn't understand.

The little devil shook his head, and after saying this, he shrank back to his residence and became a house devil.

It can only see that.

In the past, it might be able to see more information, but in this ghost place, under the influence of the silent field, it is already very good to be able to barely observe these.

"Okay, very good information...By the way, are our souls polluted? This world won't pollute our souls, right?" Lu Yiming frowned.

It shook its head, indicating that your souls are normal.

"Have people from other civilizations been polluted? You should have observed many people, right?"

There was a lot of people coming and going on the pier, and the little devil, hiding in the steamer, did observe quite a few people.

It nodded and shook its head again, meaning that most people were polluted, and some people were not polluted...

The source of pollution is not the same, but many.

But there are indeed some civilizations that have not been polluted, there is no doubt about this.

"Sounds a bit serious..." Li Yao, who was standing aside, also frowned, "In other words, there are evil gods behind all these civilizations, including the Bollier civilization, which is the host of this world, and there are evil gods behind them. The more contact with the evil god, the mental state is not right."

"But there are also some potential allies here. Ancient civilizations similar to the Jin Empire are hidden inside. They should know more information, but they don't know how many civilizations of this type exist."

"...Hey, let's take one step at a time, we can't give up this world rashly."

"It's really not possible, let's act first..."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yiming, Zhao Yi and other Jin people exchanged the information they found out.
