October 16, 2507. The second star domain, Xinghuang Autonomous Prefecture.

There's an auction going on in Raven City, an auction like no other. The auction was also a rare object, a red gemstone taller than a person.

Believe what the auctioneer said, he's a ruby.

Fan Decai heard that Chen Shitong was asking if he wanted to buy this thing. Now the price of this lump of rubies has soared to three million ounces.

Is something so expensive crazy?

Long Qicong was also thinking about whether there was any need to buy this thing. Most of the people present were clearly in a frenzy, bidding frantically in an extremely irrational situation.

Unlike them, Long Qicong still retains his sanity.

"Can we afford it?"

This is the first question, and the main premise. If you can afford it, it makes sense to think about whether you want to buy it. Otherwise, it's a joke.

Chen Shitong nodded and said, "According to the family's regulations, the Chen family has prepared an emergency fund of one billion ounces of gold. However, the call requires authorization from the clan. ”

"Zong family? Is my verbal authorization okay? ”

"Less than 10 million, verbal authorization is OK."

That is, there is a chance to afford it, Long Qi nodded and began to think about whether to buy it. When thinking about complex problems, clear logic can help you quickly find the clue and direction.

The question of whether to buy or not can be split into two questions. First, what do you buy it for? Second, is it cost-effective?

What do you buy it for?

Long Qi looked at the audience, and all the people who asked for the price were spiritual adaptors. Therefore, buying this thing is nothing more than looking at the energy contained in it. If it's really from a divine creature, it's a bit of value. Otherwise, no matter how high the energy density is, it is limited.

Under the modern theological industry, the production of spiritual energy like electricity has long been realized. The spiritual energy in industry is what is commonly referred to as spiritual power. In spoken language, there is no strict distinction.

It's just that although industrial production has been completed long ago, psionic energy is still not popularized in the civilian field. Rather, as an important strategic resource, priority is given to the supply of the military, as well as a few other areas.

Coincidentally, as far as Long Qicong knew, Drager had "made a little difference" in the theological industry.

Although the Psion Factory will not be much cheaper than a warship. Moreover, there is a technical cost that cannot be ignored, but as long as the technology is mature and the industrialization is completed, the cost can be shared.

Drager's own psionic needs can be fully satisfied. You can also use very cheap psionic energy, and there is really no need to buy it because of this, a stone that doesn't know the stock of psionic energy.

As for the ethereal divinity. As a witness, Long Qicong didn't feel that there was anything different about the zombie dragon king. If that's divinity, there's really nothing to do.

Taking a step back, this stone really has divinity, how can you get it when you buy it? How can we inherit this divinity? Swallow it in one bite? Or did you break the bubble tea? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pull it out?

The more Long Qicong analyzed, the more confused he became. He can figure out things that these rich people on the rich side will not think of. If you were so stupid, you shouldn't have accumulated so much wealth.

Doubts are doubts, Long Qi has already come up with his own answer.

"Don't buy it. Can't make it. ”

"Yes, young master."

Chen Shitong replied and immediately put away the phone. It seems that as long as Long Qicong said to buy it, she immediately ordered someone to mobilize funds. Long Qi suddenly reflected from this moment, Chen Shitong just said that the Chen family's emergency fund has one billion ounces?

Gold!

Grass, is Drager so rich?

It was not only Long Qicong who was surprised, but also Fan Decai. He had been eavesdropping on the sidelines, and when he heard a billion ounces of gold, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

While setting off turbulent waves in my heart, I was also very glad that I had not chosen to break my promise before. Not to mention anything else, this economic strength alone is enough to be among the "Four Great Families".

Long Qi didn't pay attention to the field for a while, and the bidding on the field has soared to one million ounces. At this point, the original noise completely dissipates.

One million ounces is already equivalent to tens of billions of federal coins, and tens of billions of assets are everywhere in the interstellar era, but there are few who can come up with tens of billions of cash for personal squandering.

At this point, there are really not many people who can follow up. In addition to the front row, there are a few boxes on the second floor of the back. These boxes, when they entered the million-ounce level, began to end one after another.

This time Long Qicong is even more strange, the person who can take out so much cash, will he be a fool who buys a useless broken stone?

It could be, but it shouldn't. Long Qicong himself couldn't convince himself with such ridiculous rhetoric. The intense curiosity forced Long Qicong to find a reasonable explanation.

"Old Fan, have you heard anything about this heavy treasure?"

Lao Fan shook his head and spread his hands. Even if he was silent. Long Qi was speechless, and said in his heart that you don't know, you won't ask. I don't believe that there is no one next to me who knows.

Ignoring him, Long Qicong patted the shoulder of the person in the front seat. Childishly asked, "Uncle~ Why do they all want that red stone?" ”

The man looked back and saw that it was a child asking a question. The right is that the child's family is curious, so they are not stingy with answers.

"The kid's house didn't see it, it was a gem. Seeing that there is nothing wrapped in it, I heard that the Federation and the Empire are fighting on the Fertility Star for it. The treasure of the dragon family, do you understand? I don't understand it when I tell you.,Just let the child know that thing is very powerful.。。 ”

After saying that, he turned around.

Long Qicong was even more puzzled, and didn't say anything else. The Federation and the Empire are fighting on the Fertility Star, and anyone with a little common sense can realize the problem.

What would happen if a military conflict broke out between the two superpowers in a military buffer zone agreed upon by both sides? Local conflicts, under the impulse of the overheated military in the border areas, will rapidly expand the situation, completely unable to stop the car, and eventually turn into a full-scale war.

In fact, the Federation's attack on Antiga, Long Qicong felt that if it was himself, Bacheng had slapped back. Even the top brass of the empire is hesitant, and the troops in localities, borders and other places are afraid that they will not be able to swallow this breath.

That's when the discipline of the army will be tested.

Thinking about it this way, the so-called Federation and the Empire fighting on the Fertility Star are pure nonsense. But why do so many people believe it?

Long Qicong speculated that eighty percent was because of the battle he experienced. It did happen, there were so many people at the scene, leaving video records, and picking up some physical evidence at the scene to support it. Nonsense can be plausible.

The point is that the forces represented by Kamiya and Joan of Arc are unknown. It's just that there is no pusher behind the scenes, distorting the facts, and the listener can also associate it with the Empire.
