The world enters the age of mythology.

The giant turtle country is in the age of steam, and has some means of metal processing.The processing of screws is very laborious for them. It takes a day for skilled craftsmen to pass through the mold and produce hundreds of screws.

The key is that this thing consumes quickly, and it takes dozens of screws to nail a piece of furniture.

"Prime Minister, how much does this screw weigh? They only need to recycle a little scrap steel to make a lot of screws. How much does a box of screws weigh? It should be profitable after all, and it's a lot of money." said the Minister of Science and Technology.

"A ton of steel costs 1 yuan, and a screw is less than 5 grams. A ton of 20 pieces can sell for [-] yuan, doubling the profit."

"Actually, it's not too expensive." Another minister shook his head and said, "Even if the profit is doubled, it's not too expensive."

"If we process the screws ourselves, the cost of one screw will be more than one yuan..."

After all, time and labor costs are all costs.Machines for screw processing are not so easy to invent.

Listening to their discussion, the emperor fell silent. The industrial capabilities were so poor that it was really incomparable.

The group continued to move forward.

In the fifth exhibition hall, there are all kinds of electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablet computers and even TV sets.

This planet is affected by the silent field, and most electronic goods can only be used indoors.Outdoors, most mobile phones are useless. Even if the signal is enhanced, they can only receive simple messages such as text messages at most.

The best-selling product here is actually a computer for online learning.

Online learning is not only useful for students, but also for all kinds of craftsmen, craftsmen, and businessmen. No matter how bad it is, it can also be used to learn Chinese.Smart businessmen will choose to buy some computers and then rent them out to civilians in their own country. Not only can they make a small profit, but they can also improve the general knowledge level of the people.

But such things as electronic products are already incomprehensible to the giant tortoise civilization.Their understanding of technology is limited to the early stage of the second industrial revolution. They can understand airplanes and automobiles, but they really don't understand electronic products.

The Giant Turtle Country is a very conservative civilization.

They don't buy anything they don't understand.

The sixth exhibition hall is the core consulate of the capital of the sea of ​​clouds, with many government workers.Most of the important deals are negotiated here.

Along the way, as a "knowledgeable" civilization, while the giant tortoise is full of excitement, it still pretends to be nonchalant.

The young emperor didn't have the pride he had at the beginning. No matter how young he was, he knew deeply that what they witnessed so far was just the tip of the iceberg.The technological civilization is much stronger than them, and they are shocked by the large number of weapons on display.

But as the emperor, he could only bite the bullet and resisted not speaking.

Prime Minister Zhang said in the heart-to-heart communication: "Your Majesty, this is the first time you have encountered a civilization that is far stronger than ours."

The emperor remained silent, not knowing what to say, but quietly clenched his fists, his heart was not at peace.How could a young man be willing to admit defeat? Even if he knew he was inferior, he would never say it directly.

Prime Minister Zhang said: "...Fortunately, there was no mistake in the beginning. Hey, it's also good to give a giant tortoise as a gift."

The young emperor couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "But do we really want the other party to board the ship for inspection?"

"If we want to survive here for a long time, it should be; if we don't join this alliance, then it doesn't matter."

But, are they really going to give up on this world?Even the emperor himself was very hesitant. It was not easy for them to come all the way to the present. Because of face, they gave up this opportunity. Will there be a better opportunity in the year of the monkey?

Is it necessary to wander precariously for another 20 years? !

At this time, the old heavenly master suddenly said: "My lords, His Excellency Xuanwu just brought me a message... It quietly swam around the surrounding islands, and did not sense the breath of evil gods, so all the countries in this alliance , indeed, none of them has any act of offering sacrifices to evil gods."

"This alliance is hostile to the evil god. They are not lying. Boarding and inspection should be a necessary process, not deliberately making things difficult."

Hearing this, some veterans around were not surprised but delighted, "If this is the case, it is normal to have a harsher treaty... This must be a safe area, a safe area where you can live for a long time!"

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Zhang became excited first.

No matter how well-mannered they are, how could they not be excited when facing such a big event? !

They have been wandering on the Yang River for more than twenty years. How many people have died in one after another disasters? They are constantly struggling, isn't it just to find a continent where they can live?

Even, they don't need a continent, they just need a safe enough world!

Even drifting on the ocean.

They raise so many giant tortoises, as long as they live on the back of the turtles, they can barely survive... Of course, this kind of living conditions cannot be compared with owning a piece of land.

"If you have an island, it is naturally the best. The sea of ​​clouds civilization can accommodate so many ancient civilizations, can't it accommodate us? But the prerequisite is that we have to abide by the rules here."

"I think that the rules here are not particularly out of the ordinary."

Listening to the discussions of these ministers, the young emperor was shaken in his heart. It sounded a bit aggrieved to board the ship for inspection, but it was only once.After one inspection, there is no need for a second inspection.

Losing a little face is not a loss of a piece of meat!

The benefit of comparison is too great, and this kind of aggrievedness can almost be ignored!

And if other civilizations come from outside the Yanghe River, and they also want to enter this world, they will also support it. The Yunhai Alliance will board the ship and check it, so as to confirm safety...

"Accepting more civilizations, boarding and inspection is also a must!"

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I can understand this approach.

"Please, everyone, the front is our big conference hall." Lu Yiming couldn't hear the conversation of these people deep in his heart, he stretched out his hand and invited.

With this feeling of worrying about gains and losses, the group walked into the conference room and sat down beside the big round table.

This carved round table with a diameter of more than ten meters was imported from the Yuzhu Kingdom, and was carved with elegant and dignified patterns by carpenters from the Jin Kingdom.In terms of craftsmanship, ancient craftsmen are much better than modern people.

Delicate fruits and tea are placed on the table.

In terms of etiquette, no matter which civilization it treats, the city of sea of ​​clouds strives to be the best.

Prime Minister Zhang of the giant tortoise civilization first gave a small gift that he had prepared long ago, "the specific plan for raising the giant tortoise". He compiled the information into a manuscript and handed it to Lu Yiming, and brought A professional breeder.This breeder will be here for a while.

The giant tortoise is a very solid creature that does not need to be taken care of carefully. It eats everything, whether it is meat, food or plankton, even swill, and hardly gets sick.They like to be exposed to the sun in sunny places. Even if food is scarce, they will not starve to death through photosynthesis in the sun.

They have a long lifespan. A giant tortoise can live for thousands of years, and it takes a hundred years to reach maturity.The tortoise raised by the giant tortoise country for 20 years only gave birth to a baby tortoise, which was even won by the sea of ​​clouds.

As long as it doesn't live in nuclear sewage areas, it can take care of itself.

The only downside is that it can't control itself and is very greedy for monster meat.

If you eat too much monster meat, it will easily mutate and die.

Their three turtle boats were all made by hollowing out the flesh and blood inside after the giant tortoise accidentally died.Otherwise, the giant tortoise civilization will not easily kill the giant tortoises it raises.

During the long-term feeding, they also figured out the amount of monster meat that the giant tortoise eats every day.

The larger the turtle, the more it can eat; the smaller the turtle, the more cautious it is to prevent it from eating randomly.

Within the acceptable range, it is beneficial to eat some monster meat, which can enhance its physique.

"Thank you very much. We are currently domesticating that turtle. Thank you for your gift."

Lu Yiming accepted this gift very readily. These are precious wealth of experience. Even if they were discovered by the ancients, they also saved a lot of detours for the Yunhai.

Moreover, it is equivalent to a vote of honor for the other party to coexist peacefully.

However, he didn't have time to ink for too long. After everyone sat down, he said: "The envoys of the Giant Turtle Kingdom have roughly visited the seven civilizations of our Yunhai Alliance. The main purpose of our place is free trade, peace and peace. Coexist and develop together.”

"To be honest, before all the land is allocated, we don't mind more friendly civilizations living here. We all resist enemies together and make progress. We don't mind. We all belong to human beings, and we have lived through this disaster to the end. It’s not easy right now, it’s always good to give more people a chance to survive.”

That being said, all giant turtle people know that the sale of islands by technological civilizations is actually for the sake of the background of each civilization, and it is impossible to give them away for free.

Who would want too much of such a thing as land?Morality, justice, and stance, compared with real interests, are really vulnerable.

Lu Yiming didn't expect his words to convince them, and said: "We are a technological civilization, and we hope that your country's special products can add to the foundation of the entire alliance."

Chapter 614 News from the compatriots

Lu Yiming paused, and said with a serious face: "Of course, if your country wants to join the Cloud Sea Alliance, it must follow a series of established rules and regulations. I have explained these regulations many times, so I won't say more. Civilizations in the Alliance, including ourselves, follow these rules without exception."

"Once an opening is made, all countries will find ways to break the rules. Wouldn't these hard-working regulations be invalidated?"

"The establishment of rules requires a strong consensus, and this consensus cannot be broken."

These giant turtles remained silent, and they also guessed that the Sea of ​​Clouds would not make concessions for them.

They're already kind of trying to compromise.

Even the emperor remained silent. No matter how young he was, after seeing everything here, he knew that his civilization was far inferior.

You can't really fight a war.With so many cannons and rocket launchers, even the giant tortoise will be killed when the shells are fired.

Seeing their silent and tangled expressions, Lu Yiming paused and changed the subject: "Here, I have one more thing I want to consult with Gui Wenming."

"What's the matter, please tell me." Prime Minister Zhang said solemnly.

"Your civilization should have seen the same technological civilization as ours, right? Can you tell us about the situation at that time? We are also quite curious about other technological civilizations and want to know their development status." When this sentence was asked, Lu Yiming's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he took a deep breath.

Yes, it seems like it was only yesterday since the catastrophe broke out on Earth, and everything is vivid in my mind.

It seems that it has been a long time, and the memory is a bit fuzzy...

Back then in Yunhai City, back then in Xiaguo...the bustling city, braised chicken and rice, groups of long-legged beauties by the side of the road...

And the chaotic scene after the disaster broke out...

In a blink of an eye, it will be almost 9 years since the earth disaster broke out!

People have finally found a suitable world to live in.

Time flies so fast...

I don't know how many compatriots survived the long-term disaster.Even if someone survived, it is not known whether they are doing well.Was it enslaved by other civilizations?Even technological civilization is not invincible, especially in the early stage of lack of information, you never know what you will face in the future...

Xia people always have a little hometown sentiment. As long as their generation has not completely died, they will always miss their hometown and their former compatriots.At this time, there is no longer a black area, and the only word is——"Compatriots."

Lu Yiming was thinking about this in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on the surface.

The leader, Prime Minister Zhang, thought for a while, then glanced at Lu Yiming, thinking in his heart, this is not too precious information.

In fact, after many civilizations meet each other, as long as they can communicate in a friendly manner.They all talk about their experiences with each other, which can effectively improve the chances of survival.

They have never had a conflict with technological civilization, so it is not a big problem to disclose this information.

Prime Minister Zhang thought about it for a while, and said, "We have seen technological civilization three times in Giant Turtle Country, and this is the third time for you here."

"The first time was 20 years ago! Hey, we just entered Yanghe at that time. We saw the first technological civilization. Their hair is golden yellow, their skin is very white, and their appearance is not the same as ours. "

It should be a certain technological civilization in the Western cultural circle.

"Our first batch of technological products was obtained from them. They... are barely friendly, maybe because they just came to Yanghe and have very little information."

"We... got a batch of supplies through some means."

In fact, the scene at that time could not be considered particularly friendly, the disparity in strength was huge, it was just one side crushing the other.

The giant tortoise civilization at that time was too weak, and there were no turtle boats, only some wooden sailboats.It was only a little over two years since they came to Yanghe.

This giant tortoise with trees growing on its back, and the Xuanwu stretching out its hands, were only encountered in a later experience.

Since the Giant Turtles have nothing worthy of coveted by technological civilization, they will live in peace.

In addition, this scientific and technological civilization has just entered Yanghe, and it still barely retains the basic social morality. In the absence of conflicts of interest, it has not carried out massacres against ancient civilizations.

The old emperor saved his face and pleaded hard, and only then, through the information at hand, begged from the other party for some technological products that were about to be scrapped.

Recalling the arduous journey back then, Prime Minister Zhang couldn't help feeling filled with emotion. He never wanted to go through that time again...

Face, what is face?It's almost impossible to survive, who cares about face?The giant turtle people at the beginning have gone through untold hardships before they developed to the present.Why they would rather be conservative than radical is because they are afraid of death!

They have encountered ghost ships several times, and there is no one in them.These former civilizations seem to be much stronger than them!

Why Extinction?It's not because of carelessness!

"We have experienced two technological worlds in the past 20 years... but unfortunately, the disasters that erupted were too horrible, cities were razed to the ground, we risked our lives, and we took out some garbage... but we don't know How to use those instruments, I can't understand the characters of other civilizations at all, what a pity." Prime Minister Zhang shook his head.

Of course, these technological worlds are not very advanced, about the technological level of the first industrial revolution.

The other party said it lightly, but Lu Yiming heard the difficulty of the whole process and felt the same.

"The second time I encountered a technological civilization was three years ago. Our fleet encountered another technological civilization. By the way, the written language of this civilization seems a bit similar to yours..."

"That civilization is still very friendly, and they are very cautious and unwilling to reveal too much information. We only know that the other party is indeed a technological civilization."

When Prime Minister Zhang said this, he suddenly froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, his pupils dilated slightly.

However, when the two sides first met, there was indeed no conflict. Although the intersection was not particularly large, there were still some small transactions. The prime minister thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide it, so he decided to tell the truth.

"That technological civilization is quite powerful. There are as many as eight giant ships the size of a mountain. The style of the giant ships is similar to that of your civilization!"

He was referring to the No. Hope shelter, which they had seen before.

"However, the maintenance of these giant ships is not particularly good, and some traces of war have not been completely erased."

"We have had some trade, and some of the commodities in our fleet were purchased from that civilization..."

Eight shelters? !
