Chapter 369: A Deal with Riley's Civilization
In the midst of this observation, language experts tried to import the data into the computer, and it should not be too much of a problem to decipher the language of this alien civilization according to the demeanor and movements of these Rileys.
Anyway, it's not the first time, and all scientists know it well.
Professor Li Zhendong, who is in charge of this part, even made a military order, "The language of the Riley people is not particularly complicated, after all, it is just a primitive civilization, and there are not so many complex words." It's just that the content about religion is more difficult, and more information needs to be collected in order to be able to translate it more accurately. ”
After working so busy for a night, the relevant scientists sorted out the data and transmitted a decipherment software to the transport plane of Wang Junpeng and others.
"Is the translation software coming out so soon? Our civilization is really full of talents and strength. ”
After a night's rest, Wang Junpeng's mental state is very good. When he saw this translation software, he felt even better.
"This conversation software is not very perfect, and it can only achieve a preliminary communication function...... More needs to be improved. ”
Zhang Yuan said in a video call, "It is enough to establish a preliminary trading relationship, and we don't expect to gain too much in this civilization." Know all the tasks, right? ”
"Understand, it's enough to have a preliminary translator." Wang Junpeng said confidently.
The next thing gets even weirder......
When the human drove to the base camp of the Riley people and explained their intentions to the two sides on the battlefield in the indigenous language, all the Riley people were surprised.
"Human ...... They are people, he said...... Kind? Mankind? What do you mean? A nobleman stumbled out the somewhat strange word, "Isn't it a messenger of the gods?" ”
"The gods are elusive...... Perhaps the word itself means the messenger of the gods. ”
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Immediately afterwards, mankind exchanged a few metal knives for a large number of religious texts and history books in the two countries. When these Riley people saw the metal knives, they were simply amazed!
In the face of the frog behavior of the natives at the bottom of the well, all human diplomats maintained good cultivation and did not laugh indiscriminately or make other moves.
Then the human diplomatic team, at the kind invitation of the natives, first watched the execution of the "blasphemers", and the sticks were hanged.
The miserable howl made the hearts of the people tremble.
This time, several female diplomats really couldn't stand it anymore, their faces were blue, and they kept complaining about the barbarism and backwardness of these natives in their hearts.
On the contrary, Wang Junpeng, who was the leader, did not stop this farce, anyway, it is the other party's own internal affairs, why should human beings meddle in their own affairs?
In the end, the diplomatic team divided into two routes and went to the royal capitals of these two countries to experience a fun trip to different civilizations......
……
"Exquisite, too exquisite...... Our most perfect metal can't compare to one ten-thousandth of it! ”
"What kind of forging technique is this? Let our skilled craftsmen come and see what the true gods are! "The king of the kingdom of Leona is playing with this stainless steel knife, and he likes it very much.
"You mean, they used a monster called 'Car', and it only took one day to return to the royal capital from the border?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our general spoke in person...... They even have a giant bird called 'Spaceship', which only takes an hour to return to the royal capital from the border, but we don't have a suitable place for the 'giant bird' to stay......"
"Really...... unimaginable! ”
The king was already a little delirious, and even in his excitement, he accidentally cut his tongue a little. According to his intelligence and knowledge, there is no way to understand these things.
He could only understand the exquisite knife in front of him!
With a slight slash with his knife, barely with much force, the tough "World Tree" leaf was cut in half.
"It's so exquisite, it's really a gift from the gods......"
The rest of the nobles sat down and were also blushing at it.
After a while, several specialized forging masters rushed over, and one by one they took these knives in fear, "God! O God! "Expressing his feelings.
The various countries of the Riley civilization can also produce a very small amount of copper metal, but the smelting process is extremely troublesome.
Due to the low oxygen content of the atmosphere and the difficulty of combustion, the Riley people would grind some special oil-rich plants and nitrate-containing minerals into powders to dry, and then use convex lenses to concentrate the sun's rays to ignite these powders. The resulting flame can forge a small amount of metal.
The cost of flame was extremely high, and the metal smelted by this primitive method was so expensive that only a very small number of nobles could use it.
Its quality, where can it compare to human metal...... Even the most commonly used stainless steel?
After all the blacksmiths had left, one of the officials fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, they deny their identity, and they are not messengers of the god of money, but call themselves human ......"
"Well, no, no, the messenger of the gods doesn't want to reveal his identity, so why should we care...... What kind of requirements do they have? Do you need an offering? The king put away the shiny knife and carefully put it in a scabbard.
There are pros and cons to this.
If you use it well, your royal power will undoubtedly be more stable.
But he also knew deeply that these messengers were rich and powerful...... He was secretly vigilant in his heart, he must not offend them, otherwise, even if he was a king, he could be easily overthrown.
One of the nobles suddenly said, "It seems that in our ancient times, there were also such messengers who suddenly appeared from the sky, but they left quickly. This emissary, called the Humans, seems to be more gentle, and they want to make a deal with us. After the deal is made, it should also leave. ”
"So, can we ask them to destroy our hostile nations? In this way, we can easily acquire a large amount of territorial ......"
As soon as this sentence came out, all the nobles were slightly commotioned.
The king hesitated, more territory, more population, mostly the desires of the nobles. He was just thinking about asking for more metal devices to increase the wealth of the royal family, and that's it......
If the nobility is too strong, the royal family will become very dangerous.
He spoke: "The other party follows the principle of equivalent exchange, and these metal knives have exchanged many of our cultural classics. If we want to let the envoy destroy the hostile country, what price will we pay? Can we afford it? Have you ever thought about this? ”
One nobleman was quick to say, "At least let our will be passed on to them...... What's more, the emissaries should also be trading with our hostile nations. ”
"What if our hostile nation proposes such a deal?"
These words made all the nobles panic slightly, and their hearts began to worry non-stop.
