The world enters the age of myth

"Yes!" General Zhao nodded slightly. In the conversation just now, he thought he was quite friendly with this technological civilization.

The first transaction should not be missed easily.

But when the parrot heard that he was about to be sold, he flapped his wings and screamed anxiously.

As a creature with rudimentary intelligence, it is very smart. If it changes its owner, who knows what kind of miserable life it will lead?

However, parrots do not have human rights, and their objections did not bring any obstacles to both parties.

The two parties were still chatting enthusiastically, and the smile on Lu Yiming's face was even bigger. There was no need for it to be translated. Both parties could complete some preliminary conversations by just making gestures.

Soon, the parrot remembered something. If it was traded and changed its owner, wouldn't it be able to eat the fruits here?

Under this self-comfort, this magical parrot moved its eyes, changed its mind, and became quiet.

"Whoa! (Deal, deal!)"

“(Very good! Very good!)”

General Zhao of Jin Civilization was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the parrot would actually sell itself. He was dumbfounded and shook his head slightly.

But no matter what, you have to sell it at a good price.

He thought for a while and made a suggestion: "Dear Yunhai, as long as you pay the price of 200 incandescent light bulbs, this parrot will be yours."

This time, the parrot started to translate very hard.

"Lightbulbs! Lightbulbs...200!"

"Light bulb?" Lu Yiming reacted quickly, with a slight smile on his face.

Light bulbs can also be considered as common equivalents among ancient civilizations.

Incandescent lamps provide light in dark environments.

The most important thing is that it can provide the necessary light source for plant growth at night.

The spectrum of incandescent lights is basically complete, allowing most plants to grow at night.

There is a huge difference between being able to grow a small amount of vegetables in a completely dark environment and not being able to grow vegetables at all.

As for the generator needed for the light bulb to shine...perhaps this Jin civilization had already purchased the generator itself.

"What do you think?" Lu Yiming whispered in the earphones, "There is no need to bargain for such a small-scale transaction, right? The other party probably wants to get something casually and go back to do business."

"This conversation is just an appetizer. We will have formal communication later."

Ding Yuan, Liang Zhenhui and other staff members discussed for a while, and soon came to the conclusion: "200 tungsten light bulbs, exchanged for one supernatural creature, is definitely a profit. No problem, let's do that."

After all, it's just a small deal, and for both parties, it's just a drop in the bucket.

In this way, after friendly consultations, drones quickly delivered this batch of supplies from the Kunlun Mountains.

"Please wait a moment, we will deliver the goods soon."

"Oh, the goods have arrived."

The general in black armor raised his head, looked at the flying objects in the sky, and very accurately delivered the box containing two hundred light bulbs to the table, then "buzzed" up and flew away.

He remained expressionless, but what was in his mind was pretty much guessed by the observers.

"They just had feelings of shock, curiosity."

"It seems that the technological civilization on Yanghe is very rare. They were even surprised for a while when drones were used to transport goods."

"They know very little about us."

"There's nothing to despise each other. Don't we have talking parrots?" The voices in the earphones were discussing in a variety of ways.

In this way, the Yunhai and this mysterious Jin civilization completed the first transaction since contact.

A big parrot replaced 200 light bulbs, opening a new chapter of friendship.

Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction and agreed to start the next communication two days later.

Watching the wooden sailboat and the dragon hidden in the water slowly leave, Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the parrot on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go back too."

"Is Jin civilization..."

He is looking forward to it

The destroyer slowly changed direction and returned to base camp.

Studying this talking parrot has become a great pleasure for people.

Many experts kept teasing it: "How many people are there in your Jin civilization? What is the most powerful trump card? How powerful is the dragon? Are there any more powerful mythical species?"

"Wow? Huh? Trump card? Trump card? Come on!" The parrot's IQ is indeed not very high. He has changed to a new environment and can't understand the Chinese on the Unsea.

"Is there anything that scares you? For example, how was the dragon raised? Was it viviparous or oviparous?"

"Cultivation, cultivation? Ga!"

It can only understand the original language, but not Chinese. Now it just imitates people's speech, but does not know the real meaning. Therefore, it is almost impossible to extract more information from this big bird.

It is too heavy, with a body length of 1 meter and an estimated weight of 26 kilograms. It cannot fly at all, and it is not known what it eats to grow so big.

This big parrot originally thought that after changing its owner, it would be able to eat delicious fruits, but the next second it was locked in an iron cage, and the sound of "Eat, eat" sounded one after another. It flapped its wings, trying to break free.

However, Lu Yiming had no intention of feeding it fruit. What if it ate it to death? He didn't want to take on this responsibility.

Half an hour later, the destroyer arrived at Yunhai Pier, and everyone disembarked to undergo professional physical examinations.

This big parrot was sent to a professional animal trainer.

"It should have simple wisdom, but it doesn't understand our language yet. Let's tame it well. It may be useful in the future." Lu Yiming said, "By the way, this bird is stronger than normal birds. It's best to analyze the reason. How did it happen?"

"No problem. For this kind of creature with a little intelligence, food training is the most effective method." Several experts took over the iron cage with joy...

…

Just as everyone on the Yunhai was holding a meeting, Jin Wenming's wooden sailboat finally returned to the dock at the edge of the floating island.

The old emperor and ministers had already known the news through flying pigeons and were waiting eagerly on land.

The leader, General Zhao Yi, was carrying a plastic box containing a large number of light bulbs. He took a deep breath and stepped off the ship step by step, as if he was carrying some treasure.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, I have been exposed to technological civilization!"

"How?" The wrinkles on the old emperor's face trembled.

Zhao Yi clenched his fists: "After my observation, the other party may be... the strongest civilization we have ever come into contact with!"

Sri Lanka.

Everyone on the land took a breath of cold air.

Exchanging one parrot for two hundred light bulbs is not the biggest gain in this industry. For them, what they saw and heard this time was even more shocking.

The curiosity brought about by a powerful technological civilization is simply too great...

A large metal ship made purely of steel is 10 times larger than a wooden sailboat, and its sailing speed is even faster!

A large number of flying objects in the air are actually a conventional means, so luxurious that they can be used to transport light bulbs!

Especially the headquarters hidden behind the destroyer, just a few words and a distant peek already made people feel exaggerated and even ridiculous.

"Artillery? Do they really have artillery?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, a lot of artillery!" Zhao Yi gestured at the size of the artillery. "A ship has about thirty artillery pieces. The middle artillery piece is as big as a house. Not to mention, that steel How many artillery pieces are there on the mountain?"

"A big steel mountain floating on the water? How big is it?"

Even the old emperor was shocked, with various unspeakable thoughts in his heart, and finally turned into a sigh: "Hey, no wonder all civilizations are flocking to collect Xia Wenming's technological heritage."

Xia Civilization, the strongest technological civilization in the legend, even if these ancient civilizations cannot decipher the content inside, they are still flocking to collect it.

Xia Wenming's legacy, even just a piece of spaceship hull, can be sold for a sky-high price. The most typical one is a silver-white metal. Its hardness can easily cut through steel. A small piece as big as your palm can replace hundreds of light bulbs.

A minister of the Ministry of Industry standing nearby also sighed: "Sacrificing sacrifices to evil gods is a path of no return. Developing science and technology is the right path!"

Technology, technology, they have known the existence of technological civilization for a long time, and they have also learned the importance of technology during their long journey.

But it is limited by many factors such as history, knowledge and resources, and it is difficult to get started!

The population of the Jin civilization was too small, there were not enough intellectuals, and there was no primitive accumulation. The threshold for industrialization was too great to be imagined...

The complexity of this kind of mood is difficult to describe accurately in words.

Just like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, went to the United States and saw the prosperous United States at that time.

It was the Qing Dynasty at that time. Li Hongzhang saw more than 100 floors of the Empire State Building. It happened to be so dark that day that he couldn't see the top floor of the building!

Compared with the backwardness and decadence of the Qing Dynasty, the feeling of powerlessness and shock is difficult to describe in words.

Therefore, after Li Hongzhang returned to China, he launched the Westernization Movement. Regardless of the success or failure of the Westernization Movement, it is always good to have the determination to change...

It was the first time that the Jin civilization had seen a truly powerful technological civilization. From the description in just a few words, it was natural that they were yearning for it.

Talking about the progress of science and technology and industry, the ministers below reported on the recent development.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. Our skilled craftsman Zhang Dahan has recently improved the steam engine. With the steam engine, it can drive the machine to weave and free up manpower. The only drawback is that it needs to burn a lot of charcoal to work. Our current coal reserves are not counted. too much."
