"All they need is a little bit of Yaojing?", Maggs took off his eyes and rubbed them as he placed them on the table after reading the trade list in his hand.

These Orientals are really troublesome, and under the banner of promoting exchanges, they don't come up with much dry goods, and the only thing that can be called useful is probably the books they brought.

However, no one has ever seen the words in these books, and they do not understand what is recorded, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Institute of History, after preliminary analysis, believe that it is a kind of rune, or a simplified text of totem.

In short, it's very complicated, right, there are no rules, except for a few similar hieroglyphs that can guess the general meaning, the other words are completely incomprehensible.

However, they did create a list to buy some things from the Empire to pull back, and that included Yaojing.

According to the quantity and specifications on this list, Yaojing is actually not very eye-catching.

Compared to some other things, Yaojing is more like a small thing to buy casually, the amount is not large, and it is written down purely to include more varieties.

But Mags had a feeling that what these Orientals really wanted was the inconspicuous Yaojing.

Obsidian is not a finite non-renewable resource, as long as the core of the vein is not mined, new Obsidian Crystals will be born around the main vein over time.

Scientists in the Empire have been studying this for many, many years, and the only conclusion they have come to is that it is possible for the Obsidian to replicate itself, reproducing itself in some way that has not yet been discovered.

In the seven Yaojing mining areas of the empire, the changes in the reserves of mining for hundreds of years are not very large, coupled with the technological development of electricity and new energy oil in recent years, the demand for Yaojing for some equipment has been greatly reduced, and the mining intensity is not as good as before.

It doesn't really matter if you really want to sell it to the Orientals, anyway, there are a lot of this stuff in the Western world.

It's just that Mags always felt in his heart that the research process of the empire and even the entire Western world was not as good as that of the East.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and ordered, "Tell that Zhang Mu what to do, Yaojing is an imperial strategic resource, the reserves are not high, the mining is limited, the annual output is only enough for internal consumption, and there is no plan for foreign trade......", he pondered for a while, and when he opened his eyes, a wisp of color flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, "Of course, if they are willing to come up with advanced technology about the development of Yaojing, we may not be able to squeeze out some." ”

"I see. The Minister of Foreign Affairs continued to report on the next matter, "the Orientals have made a request, and they wish to be able to leave some delegates to learn from our culture and live in the empire for a long time, shall we grant them?"

"Each of their demands has a very ......clear purpose," said Maggs, putting his eyes back on, picking up the list he had read and looking at it, "they want to know our society more thoroughly, yes, but we also have to understand their society, and if they are willing to accept our request for an exchange of study life, let them stay." ”

"Also, it's important to know the safe lanes they have, even if it's okay to make appropriate concessions on other issues, but it has to be done!"

The visit of the Eastern Mission did not make Maggs very happy, but felt that it was a threat.

It may be true that the science of the Orientals was not very developed, but they took a different path and strengthened the role of the individual.

That swordsman who was able to face the Empire's most advanced automatic rifle unscathed that day had already shocked Maggs. In fact, there are some people in the empire who can do it, but these people have a very special identity, and their existence is the last barrier of the empire - symbolically.

Now that the West knows almost nothing about the East, it is a mystery how many such people there are, how many years it takes to be trained, whether they can be achieved with only training, and how the Eastern forces manifest themselves in war.

Magus had a deeper concern, this time the Oriental was slightly better than the record suggests, and made a request to stay and study. It sounds like a relatively normal request, and even some over-interpreters can think that this is a sign of the underdevelopment of Eastern science.

But for Mags, maybe it's about deepening their understanding of Western society, and if one person wants to know another person better, it's largely for their own benefit, in other words, to be more competitive.

How is it reflected between countries who is strong and who is weak?

Just fight and you'll know.

"In short, there are two things you must do, to find out if the Orientals have more advanced development technology on Yaojing, and the real purpose of their Yaojing. Second, find a way to get them to share the waterway, and then send someone back with them. ”

At the same time, in the temporary residence of the Oriental Mission, Zhang Mu looked at a piece of Yao Jing the size of a thumb in his hand, and his expression was a little complicated.

Originally, the Emperor of Heaven asked him to send an envoy to the West, in addition to promoting the prestige of the Heavenly Empire, and by the way, to take a look at the development of the outside world, there was no other requirement, purely ...... I want to show off after being extremely inflated, of course, this is a private statement.

But when he got the rifle that day, he knew that the harvest of this trip would definitely not be too simple, and he felt the surging aura, the power of heaven and earth, in that thing that could spin!

These stupid monkey-like Westerners actually regard such a precious thing as something to provide power, they have no idea the true value of these spirit stones!

Coupled with the powerful weapons of war possessed by this Shining Star Empire, Zhang Mu believed that it was necessary to have a more thorough understanding of the Western world, to understand the technology in their mouths, and the reserves of spirit stones in the West.

He believed that after these news were transmitted back to the imperial capital, it was very likely that some changes would occur.

The over-exploitation of spirit stones on the three major islands is close to exhaustion, and now they are all protected, but the demand for spirit stones in society is constantly rising.

If it weren't for the discovery of new veins in the waters near the three major islands, those sects would have rioted long ago.

Perhaps, this is also an opportunity!

His gaze quickly returned to the thumb-sized spirit stone in his hand, and at the same time, some confusion abounded.

Why can't this thing be directly absorbed like those spirit stones in the East?

Why is there no reaction at all, I can obviously feel the power of heaven and earth in this spirit stone, but I just can't suck it out!

It's weird!
