"Ninth brother, I don't know how you cold soldiers can be sold? What if it's a direct sale of technology? Looking at the image in front of him and listening to Lao Jiu's explanation, Li Xingchen's breathing became a little short.

"Brother Li doesn't need to be in a hurry, listen to me carefully." Lao Jiu said unhurriedly, "Catapults are mainly on the main arm, while bed crossbows are mainly crossbow bodies and crossbow strings. The materials used to create these cold soldiers, in addition to the technology alloy, are the Warcraft materials above level eighty. ”

"Like animal bones, animal tendons, etc., although they are not worth a lot of money, the quantity required is an astronomical amount. However, I believe that HX must have a lot of reserves. However, beyond these basics, there is the real technology required for these cold weapons. ”

"The first is the special synthesis material method, the second is the engraving of runes, and the last is the installation of the driving energy array, these three points are the real focus. I believe that Brother Li can also imagine it. ”

"Therefore, the standard price of our Easy Empire is ten amethysts for a catapult, fifteen amethysts for a land bed crossbow, and eighteen amethysts for a water crossbow, because the crossbow body of a water crossbow is much more complex than the crossbow body of a land bed crossbow."

"Of course, I don't mean crossbow arrows, or the special thistles thrown by catapults. Our land crossbow arrows cost one amethyst, our water crossbow arrows cost two amethysts, and as for the special thistle terrestris, one cost the same two amethysts. ”

"I believe that if HX has this batch of materials, it will be easy to sweep the southwest border and overwhelm the major empires in the northwest and northeast. If there are enough of them, even if they suppress the entire coastal area, I just don't know how big Brother Li's appetite is. ”

"Then it depends on how much stock there is in the hands of the ninth brother! I believe that the ninth brother will not doubt our financial resources! Listening to Lao Jiu's temptation, Li Xingchen said with bright eyes.

"Brother Nine, what if we directly buy the technology in the hands of the Easy Empire? In addition, I heard the meaning of Brother Jiu's words, it seems that it can only be traded with amethyst, can't it be replaced by gold coins? At this time, Zuoqiu Lingyun, who was beside Li Xingchen, was quite calm, and asked Lao Jiu with a frown.

"Haha, I won't hide it from Brother Li." Lao Jiu snorted, then looked at Li Xingchen and said, "You also know that if these cold weapons want to exert their due power, they must use amethyst as energy, and our Xiaoyao Empire has almost no amethyst veins, so there is a great demand for amethyst, so the premise of trading with us is that amethyst must be used." ”

"As for the buyout that Brother Zuoqiu said, of course our Empire has this idea. However, since our current reserves of these equipment are almost exceeded, we must dispose of some of them in exchange for a certain amount of resources, so as to ensure the normal maintenance of the defense within the empire, which is why we chose HX cooperation. ”

Hearing Lao Jiu say this, Li Xingchen seemed to be a little puzzled, frowning and still thinking. However, Zuoqiu Lingyun's eyes lit up, because he got a lot of information from Lao Jiu's words.

The first is that the consumption of these cold soldier equipment is very large, and the second is the thirst for amethyst in the Empire, as well as the current shortage of energy resources in the Empire. As long as he knows this, then he may be able to win enough benefits in the next negotiations with Lao Jiu.

Of course, Lao Jiu also took in the expressions of several people, especially Zuoqiu Lingyun. When he said this, he was just passing on the wrong information to Zuoqiu Lingyun and leading Zuoqiu Lingyun into the game. At this time, Lao Jiu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, but he had already calculated it in his heart.

"Can Brother Nine tell us more about the sale of technology?" Zuoqiu Lingyun stared at Lao Jiu and asked.

"It's simple, as long as you buy 100,000 catapults, 100,000 land bed crossbows, 10,000 water crossbows, and the corresponding crossbow arrows and throwing bombs, we will give priority to selling the technology in our hands to the outside world." Lao Jiu said without thinking about it.

"Preferential sale?" Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Zuoqiu Lingyun's pupils shrank, and then he looked at Lao Jiu and asked, "Listening to what Brother Jiu means, it seems that there is still a cooperative empire?" ”

"Of course, this is also based on the ending that HX does not want, after all, we are also a family with the same roots. But my Empire also needs to survive, if HX is not willing to cooperate with us, we can only find another home, I believe there are still many empires who are interested in cooperating with our Empire. Lao Jiu looked at Zuoqiu Lingyun and said lightly.

"We can still eat the amount that Brother Nine said, but I don't know how Brother Nine prices the technology in his hands?" After thinking for a while, Li Xingchen took the lead in speaking, "I believe that Brother Nine doesn't want these technologies to fall into the hands of other empires, right?" As long as the price offered by the ninth brother is reasonable, I think there is still a lot of hope for our cooperation. ”

"Alloy technology, rune formation, energy formation, a total of 30 million amethyst!" Lao Jiu stretched out his right hand, stretched out a finger for each word, and directly quoted 30 million amethysts after stretching out three fingers.

Hearing Lao Jiu's offer, all the people's pupils shrank, and even Long Sifeng didn't seem to expect Lao Jiu to open his mouth, and his heartbeat couldn't help but slow down by two beats.

You must know that 100,000 catapults, 100,000 land bed crossbows, 10,000 water crossbows, and the total number of crossbow arrow projectiles you match is only about 4 million amethyst. And Lao Jiu's three technologies directly opened 30 million amethyst, which made Long Sifeng not surprised.

In fact, if 30 million amethysts are converted into gold coins, it is 30 billion gold coins. If Lao Jiu is willing to trade in gold coins, it is estimated that Li Xingchen will agree to it, after all, for the entire HX, three billion gold coins is really not much.

Although HX can also take out 30 million amethyst, but after knowing the large number of uses of amethyst, it is impossible for HX to come up with such a large amount of amethyst. After all, after they master these technologies, Amethyst will become a real war resource, which is what HX needs most.

"Ninth brother, if it was paid with gold coins, I wouldn't frown at all. Or maybe I would agree when I didn't know that amethyst was so useful. But now that I know, it's impossible to come up with so many amethysts at once, after all, there are only so many amethysts in the entire HX Empire. ”

Li Xingchen thought for a while and said, "If the ninth brother is willing to give in, or if there is any other way or condition, you might as well say it directly, as long as we can meet it, we will try our best to meet it." ”

"Brother Li should know that my Xiaoyao Empire is not short of gold coins, although my Xiaoyao Empire does not have any decent amethyst veins now, but I have also mastered large amethyst veins, according to our statistical data, the output of a large amethyst vein is more than one million a month, right?"

Lao Jiu shook his head and said, "And the large amethyst veins that HX currently has in their hands are at least more than ten, and the number of amethyst mined every year is probably more than 100 million, right?" A mere 30 million amethyst shouldn't be too difficult for you. ”

"Hehe, I don't deny what Brother Nine said, but has Brother Nine ever thought that the annual consumption of HX teleportation array is an astronomical amount. On top of that, we also need to build a lot of amethyst-level equipment, and the amount of amethyst left in the treasury is really limited. ”

Li Xingchen glanced at Lao Jiu and said with a wry smile on his face, "As far as I know, the number of amethysts left in the treasury today will definitely not exceed 50 million, and if you want to maintain the normal operation of the entire HX teleportation array, then the number of amethysts that can be used is even less than 30 million." ”

Listening to Li Xingchen's words, Lao Jiu frowned deeply, and then fell into deep thought. And the two sides also fell silent at this moment, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Brother Jiu, we don't have amethyst veins, if we can't let HX exchange amethyst veins." At this time, Long Sifeng interjected.

"Even if HX gives us the amethyst vein, do you think we can hold it? Moreover, the amethyst veins in the HX territory are basically in the late stage of mining, and the amount of amethyst that can be mined is really limited. Lao Jiu frowned and said, "If it's a newly discovered vein, you can still consider it." ”

"Indeed, the amethyst veins we currently have have been mined, and we have almost searched the HX territory, and there are almost no new amethyst veins." Li Xingchen also shook his head and said.

"That's ......" Lao Jiu suddenly gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made a lot of determination, "I know of a few newly discovered large amethyst veins, I was originally going to take people to loot, but that is equivalent to killing chickens and taking eggs." ”

"I believe that you now also know the importance of amethyst, and the thirst for amethyst should be higher than my free empire, if we cooperate, I am willing to provide you with technology for free, but the veins obtained, the mined amethyst we will give us fifty-five points!"

"Oh? I don't know where the veins mentioned by the ninth brother are? Li Xingchen asked with a frown.

"Brother Li should know about the super ore vein that the Ha Empire recently discovered in the southeast, right? As far as I know, it is an amethyst vein, and the preliminary estimate is that the total production is more than one billion amethyst. Lao Jiu looked at Li Xingchen and said.

"In addition to this, two super amethyst veins have also appeared on the east coast of the Russian Empire. If HX is willing to send troops, I can't guarantee the Russian Empire, but the vein of the Kazakhstan Empire will definitely be occupied. ”

"As for the Russian Empire, the only thing I can guarantee is that I can bring the army of HX directly to the east coast of the Russian Empire, as for whether you can take food from the mouth of the Russian Empire, it depends on you, but I still have confidence in you."

"With the speed of the game's update, I believe that it won't be long before the importance of amethyst will be exposed, and at that time, I believe that the major empires will regard amethyst as the most important strategic resource, and the opportunity we have now will be lost."

"It's a pity that the strength of my Empire is limited, although I have the upper hand, but even if I make a desperate move, the benefits I can get are very limited, not to mention, I may still be surprised. If we cooperate with both sides, it is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two, Brother Li can think about it carefully! ”
