Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

The black coin lay quietly in Qatar's palm, with both sides looking ordinary.

Unlike common coin designs with engraved patterns or special symbols, this coin has only some concave and convex parts to make it easier to grip.

After injecting some spiritual energy, powerful spiritual energy waves shot out from the back of the coin.

Under the infusion of the power of the ancient saints, the coin showed signs of collapse.

Withdrawing his hands, Qatar's fingertips surged, creating the electromagnetic field of the material universe.

The coin was activated again, projecting an invisible force field from the front, which began to suppress psychic activity.

"Black stone artifacts... can indeed be used as currency."

Kattar muttered.

One of the reasons why universal currency is difficult to promote on a large scale is the lack of strong intervention from a unified government.

The point is that there is no suitable general equivalent carrier.

The conflict between spiritual energy and matter means that there will not be many circulating items that can satisfy the needs of both parties at the same time, and naturally there will be even fewer materials that can be recognized by both parties as "useful".

Regardless of their positions, most of the previous transactions among the three empires were barter for bulk goods and strategic materials.

Using black stone to create objects was not the first idea of ​​Zhang Lingyou.

There are so many things that we can think of for this substance to exist, and the special nature of black stone creations satisfies all the properties required of currency.

And because of its strong applicability, it is extremely strong and will not lose its effectiveness due to the collapse of the regime.

There were ancient people before us, and there will be successors after us. It is not difficult to value black stone.

The fact that he could think of Blackstone shows that Zhang Ling studied economics.

The fact that he was able to send the black stone to me meant that it was not done on a whim.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Lingyou must have the means to mass-produce Black Stone coins before he could think of promoting a unified currency.

The idea of ​​using Black Stone as currency was previously proposed, but the reason why it could not be promoted was that the production of Black Stone was not high.

The production of black stone is only controlled by a group of powerful beings such as the Void Dragon. After their deaths, other ancient gods have no authority.

Either they are impossible to imitate, or the results and investment are not satisfactory. For example, the Black Stone made by the Necrons themselves has no problem with quality, but the cost is too high to be borne.

After thinking about it, I sent a message to Setra.

"How much does it cost you to make Black Stone? I want the truth... Yes, that guy took out Black Stone to make currency, um... huh?! Is it true? Okay, I understand."

During the brief exchange, Settra made it clear that expecting races like the Necrons to manufacture Black Stone themselves would be a losing business no matter how they tried.

The difference is that this losing business can generate profits in other areas.

It is not too much of a loss for Star God to manufacture black stone. If the plan is good, he can make a profit.

This thing consumes production capacity and is a bit energy-consuming.

At the end of the conversation, Setra made it clear that if there was a specific world environment that could compress the time it took for Black Stone to form naturally, the cost could indeed be very low.

But Settra felt that the other side had the advantage in numbers of star gods and could spare some strength to do something.

"Val, have you exported the black box data? How's the modeling going?"

"It's done, but I think it's wrong. Even if we use the hyper-logic engine that the Necrons gave to the New Era, the constructed model doesn't match the actual battle situation."

The God of Craftsmen said this while transmitting the actual battle situation and model images.

In the model, Zhang Lingyou's figure becomes abstract and chaotic, and the fixed shape slightly distorts and changes.

really!

The ancient saint was secretly delighted. There was indeed something wrong with Zhang Lingyou. He had been thinking, when did the Star God become so powerful?

There was a knock on the door, and Aisha grabbed the scroll with both hands, hoping to meet with Qatar.

"What's the matter?"

Qatar, who was analyzing the data and trying to find out the truth, asked distractedly.

“Take a look at this. I recently checked all the cases of my people and orcs who died suddenly after witnessing Zhang Lingyou’s body, and conducted a second autopsy, and found some problems.

To ensure rigor, I also conducted an experiment with controlled variables, asking Setra to launch the same pollution and draw a conclusion. "

"Thank you. It's my negligence. I didn't expect you to think of this."

Qatar took a glance and slammed the table.

"All of them, are you sure that all the creatures contaminated by Zhang Lingyou are mutations of the grassroots organizations?!"

"Yes, His interference is very special. The infected have no focused mutation area..."

Elsa knew this important point, but she didn't know why it was important.

But He had participated in many wars. As the commander of the logistics support system, Aisha had seen many colleagues killed by the Star Gods.

Generally speaking, whether it is a star god or an ancient saint, there is a sequence in their pollution of lower life forms.

The most common is to attack the sensory organs first, then form a transit station through the corrupted sensory organs, corrode the brain, and finally destroy the soul.

And what about Zhang Lingyou?

Very "equal", launching erosion equally, there is no main attack, and yet it seems that all of them are main attacks.

A weak point appeared in the eroded object, and then the whole thing collapsed.

The long-sealed memories touched Qatar's nerves, and the figures of the star gods who had merged with the world and whose thinking logic had changed reappeared in the world again.

All the unreasonable issues that had arisen in viewing Zhang Lingyou as a normal star god were now reasonably explained.

If Zhang Lingyou is not a star god in the traditional sense, everything makes sense.

It turned out that Zhang Lingyou had also embarked on the old path of the Ascending Star God, and he was quite radical in his approach.

The powerful firepower of an individual is not so effective against a large national organization.

This principle also applies to all gods. The attributes of world-class star gods are even higher than those of traditional star gods, so it is inevitable that one's own methods will fail.

Thinking of this, the ancient sage instantly understood the significance of Zhang Lingyou sending the black stone currency.

He also knew that his secret was most likely no longer concealed, so instead of trying to cover it up in vain, he would rather squeeze out the remaining value of the intelligence.

Zhang Lingyou threw out a conspiracy:

Blackstone currency represents its own production capacity.

No matter how he reacts, Zhang Lingyou's output is there, neither increasing nor decreasing.

If they don't cooperate, their production capacity will be turned into war materials, and they will suffer a loss when the other side clearly has ancient saints.

If the other party dares to cooperate with us, we can make huge profits, but at least we will not make a loss.

The amount of Black Stone is too large, and I don’t know what tricks the other party is going to play, so I am in a passive position.

Over the years, you will still suffer setbacks.

No matter what choice is made, the other party will gain the advantage and take the initiative.

Besides, if I don’t cooperate, what if others do?

When dividing the spoils, no one looks at how much effort you put in, but only at how much strength you retain in the end.

While I was thinking, the God of Cooking brought me food, which was chicken soup.

"It's tasteless if you eat it, and even more tasteless if you don't eat it..."

In Qatar's eyes, the Black Stone currency is like sending a piece of chocolate that tastes like a defense to a person when he is extremely hungry.

If you eat it, you will feel mentally sick; if you don’t eat it, it will torture you physically.

"Damn beast!"
