"Playing with fire? As far as I know, your Tami Empire has always had the habit of burying Thai ore deep in the underground base for storage, and you have probably buried hundreds of millions of tons of Thai ore for hundreds of thousands of years, compared to these, my price is not very outrageous. ”

"Hundreds of millions of tons? Can you really think that you believe this kind of false rumor? Cameron's eyelids jumped wildly, although the matter of the Tammy Empire's deep burial of strategic materials was not a secret, but it was not known to everyone. The Great Chu Empire and the Tami Empire have almost no contact, so he knows almost nothing about the internal situation with the Great Chu Empire, and in his mind, the Great Chu Empire should also know nothing about himself, but it seems that this is not the case at present.

"Well, hundreds of millions of tons are not tens of millions of tons, right? It doesn't seem too much for me to pay 10,000 tons a bottle, knowing how important the eaux-de-vie are to you and me. Chu Heng continued to talk nonsense, and Cameron was shocked when he heard it. It turned out that the reason why Chu Heng asked for such a price was not on a whim, but that he had already paid attention to the strategic reserves of the Tami Empire.

If Chu Heng's asking price is indeed very excessive according to the annual Thai ore income of the Tami Empire, but if the Thai ore storage accumulated by the Tami Empire for hundreds of thousands of years is also taken into account, this asking price seems a little insignificant. But just for his own selfishness, do you want to destroy the foundation of the Tammy Empire? Cameron is cloudy.

The burial of strategic materials is a manifestation of the Cameron family's long-term strategic vision, unlike the Purcell Union and the United Kingdom of Vikla, in their opinion, Thai ore, iron, copper, aluminum and other resources are inexhaustible in the entire universe, and can be mined at any time if they want. However, whether it is mining iron, copper, aluminum and other metals or mining Thai ore, it requires a process of mining, purification and processing. In this way, there will be a lag in converting supplies into combat power.

If these metals are mined in advance and purified and buried in the underground reserve base, once the war starts, these metal materials can be directly sent to the factory to be processed into the required alloys, and Thai ore can also be directly used as pure energy blocks. Although the time saved is not much, the conversion of materials into combat power will be very smooth. A short-term war may not show its advantages, but once a large-scale all-out war breaks out for more than a decade, the advantages of the Tammy Empire will be highlighted.

At that time, the other two countries will have shortages of materials, insufficient manpower, industrial decline due to prolonged combat readiness, and so on. However, because of the materials that have been stored for hundreds of thousands of years, the Tammy Empire will postpone the adverse consequences of the outbreak of all-out war indefinitely until the materials are exhausted.

This is the foundation of the future strategy of the Tammy Empire, and if Cameron destroys it for the sake of the water of life...... Cameron's mind was in a state of confusion, but it soon became clear. If it is only this once, then the loss of Thai ore reserves will not be too much, anyway, as long as Professor Nota studies the secret of the water of life, he can get rid of his dependence on the Great Chu Empire, then there will be no situation in the future where he will continue to use the Thai ore reserves to exchange for the water of life to the Great Chu Empire.

And do you have a choice? If you don't accept this condition, I'm afraid you will have to choose war. But once the war starts, whether the Tammy Empire wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him, because his lifespan will never survive the end of the war. As soon as he thought of this, Cameron pointed his resentful thoughts at the Prime Minister, Princess Mayanna and the Thirteen Princes, if it wasn't for the sake of stabilizing their own bodies, how could they have come to this point? If you choose to dominate the fish and break the net, then you will only be cheaper than the little beast of the Thirteen Princes. When he dies, will he still be grateful to himself when he ascends the throne?

The answer is definitely not, he even thinks of letting Princess Mayanna squeeze herself out of this vicious attention, then its superficial respect and filial piety are just hypocrisy, just like when he sat on the throne, he immediately violated his father's will and killed several of his brothers and imprisoned the imperial uncle who helped him ascend the throne, can he expect the little beast of the Thirteenth Prince to be grateful to him after his death?

Thinking of this, Cameron's eyes gradually turned cold. Trading a small amount of strategic reserves for the lifespan of his great king can only be a blessing rather than a curse for the Tammy Empire. Although the Zerg will inevitably increase their strength after obtaining these Thai mines, what waves can the Zerg make in the face of the terrifying strength of the Tammy Empire?

"Juggernaut, this is my final bottom line, I want twenty bottles of water of life, each bottle of eight thousand tons of Thai ore, if you don't agree to this price, then you can only see you on the battlefield."

Cameron made the last concession, twenty bottles of water of life was his bottom line, if Chu Heng insisted on selling only five bottles, it would not make any sense to him. If you don't have enough of the Water of Life, Nota won't have the confidence to study the mysteries of the Water of Life, and he will always be controlled by the Lord in the palm of his hand. If this is the case, then no matter how much Thai ore reserves the Tammy Empire has, it will be drained by the day.

As for the price of 8,000 tons a bottle, it is indeed terrifying, but since he has chosen that this is the last time to trade with Chu Heng, then he will not bother with these details, if you just look at the annual Thai ore income of the Tami Empire, this price is indeed terrifying, but compared to the Thai ore reserves buried by the Tami Empire for hundreds of thousands of years, this price can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Chu Heng's heart beat violently after hearing this, after breaking through the tenth-level life barrier, his control of his mental state and body had reached a terrifying state, but after hearing this number, his heart still beat suddenly.

Each bottle of water of life is 8,000 tons of Thai ore, a total of 20 bottles, that is, 160,000 tons of Thai ore, which is equivalent to 96 billion life energy, what is this concept? Now, after genetic optimization, the Hydra is not only more terrifying in combat than before, but also the price of hatching has dropped to 8 billion, that is to say, 96 billion life energy, if all the hydras are hatched, they can hatch twelve, and if the Zerg has twelve hydras, the entire Dark Council will tremble.

However, Chu Heng still quickly controlled his mind, 96 billion life energy is indeed very profitable in the short term, allowing the Zerg to instantly develop into a behemoth that can confront the Dark Council head-on, but in the long run, it is equivalent to completely losing control of Cameron's lifespan.

Using the water of life to control Cameron's lifespan was one of the most important links in Chu Heng's plan to annex the Dark Council, and once this link was broken, the plan after that could only be a joke. You must know that twenty bottles of water of life are equivalent to about forty years of life, with forty years of life, will Cameron still be willing to be controlled by Chu Heng to control his fate?

But now it seems that although Cameron is indeed very life-sparing, he is not a character to be slaughtered, if he goes too far, will he be killed? Although the current empire has won two wars with the Dark Council, that is the reason why the Dark Council did not choose to go to war with itself, once the Tammy Empire gets serious, the empire may not be able to withstand their attack.

Without delaying the civilian industry, the output of tens of thousands of warships a year shows the terrifying industrial capacity of the Tammy Empire, once the Tammy Empire gets serious, it can expand its existing fleet several times or even more than ten times in just a few years, and at that time, is there still a possibility of victory in the face of the overwhelming Tammy Empire's army?

Just when Chu Heng was still struggling with this, the words Sandra said through the soul channel played a vital role.

"Your Majesty, Cameron's request for twenty bottles of water of life at one time may not be just for himself to swallow, it is not a secret that Cameron has collected the top experts in the fields of genetics, medicine and biology in the entire Tammy Empire to continue his life, maybe he wants these so-called experts to copy the water of life to completely get rid of His Majesty's control."

Chu Heng's heart moved after hearing this, copying the water of life? Is this possible? I'm afraid that even if the Newsland Empire gets the water of life, it won't have the confidence to replicate it. The essence of the water of life is life energy, which is an energy aggregation degree lower than the three major energies of the universe but its purity is extremely terrifying, at present, in addition to KEY, the only one who controls this energy is the life mother tree of the elf clan, and the entire universe has not heard of any civilization that has mastered life energy, and he also wants to control a fourth-level civilization?

The realm of life is the basis for the survival of the Luna Empire, just like dark energy for the Newsland Empire, even if the Luna Empire gets the dark energy crystals purified by the Newsland Empire, it is impossible to replicate the same purity of dark energy crystals, and in the same way, the Newsland Empire cannot copy the true life energy even if it gets the water of life of the Luna Empire, otherwise the Newsland Emperor may become the first immortal emperor in the universe.

"Well, it's a win-win deal, and hopefully we will have a chance to work together in the future." Chu Heng said meaningfully.

"It's a win-win deal, but I'm afraid we won't have the chance to make another deal in the future." Cameron breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chu Heng's promise, and said with the same meaning.

A man with black hair and black eyes and an old man with white hair stared at each other until both turned off the undelayed Chrono Communication.

"9.6 million life energy...... Who else can stop me? Chu Heng laughed wildly, there were too many luck in defeating the Dark Council twice, and if there was this 9.6 million life energy, then the pressure that the Dark Council had given Chu Heng would be gone in an instant.

"20 bottles of water of life, I will become the emperor of the entire universe, the immortal emperor!" Cameron also laughed wildly, probably for the first time in his old age. (To be continued......)
