Chapter 125: Energy Currency
"Finally, what is the scale of the government's arms resale?" Wen Hui wanted to weigh the strength of the two sides. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"As you can see from your order, their business has grown from scratch and is now very large, we are only small buyers in their business, and the majority is the power of other planets." Renault issued another invitation, "Interested in working with us?" ”
"Of course." Wen Hui nodded, understood, the government army sold too many things, so it was very weak, and the rebels who planned this operation did not buy too many things, so they were also very weak, but two rookies pecked each other.
"Great!" Renault is happy from the bottom of his heart, this kind of willow and dark flowers and another village, the feeling of peaks and loops is really good.
"But I have two conditions, if you can agree to our cooperation, it will officially begin." Wen Hui stretched out two fingers, "First, if your money is in place, my goods will be in place, no money, no goods; Second, the government still owes me some money, are you willing to continue their contract and take on their debts? To be honest, Wen Hui didn't have much hope for the second condition.
"What we lack is weapons, and if you can provide us with a comprehensive enough range of weapons from heaven to earth, then we can accept their debts." Renault didn't make a counteroffer at all.
"Then I don't have a problem, when will I start trading?" This is still the difficulty of the novice book, and Black Fire didn't lie to him on this point.
"Formal negotiations can begin tomorrow morning." Renault didn't start immediately, letting Wen Hui rest first.
Morning on another planet! There is no difference with the earth, this is Wen Hui's feeling, and he doesn't feel the difference in the atmosphere with a slightly different composition at all.
After breakfast, Wen Hui and Renault sat down to discuss the purchase.
"Here's a list of what we need." Renault had already prepared, and he didn't talk nonsense at first, and directly showed their purchase order to Wen Hui.
"Wow!" Wen Hui looked at the strings of numbers and names listed above, is this to be purchased according to the number of group army establishments? From bullets to space warships, all of them are listed, and in terms of numbers, it is more than enough to arm five full-fledged space fleets and thirty heavily armed ground armies, do you have the money to buy these? Wen Hui was very suspicious that the other party had not heard his conditions clearly, and he should have said it very clearly without credit.
"Having trouble?" Seeing Wen Hui's uncertain face, Renault thought that their request was too difficult.
"It's not difficult, it's a little doubtful." Wen Hui asked with the attitude of a conscientious businessman: "You can understand the purchase of infantry weapons and individual mechas. But you have a large number of people for the purchase of armored forces and aviation weapons? "This is already very euphemistic, Wen Hui is very skeptical that their infantry can make up the establishment, not to mention that this kind of technical weapon, what is needed is not just soldiers, the number of purchases they have is based on the army establishment, this is still a rebel army?
"Haha!" Renault had a "I knew you would ask" expression, "Indeed, we are in a mess right now, and the remnants of the defeated army who have lost their armor have no hope of winning at all." But that's just what we're showing to the government forces, and we're more powerful than you can imagine. ”
Could it be that there is some secret weapon hidden? Wen Hui's curiosity was hooked: "Is it convenient to reveal?" ”
"You send the above things, and I'll explain it to you." Renault tapped the purchase order with his finger.
"Since you're asking for that...... Well, what do you pay the bills with? Since the buyer is not worried and insists on asking for this, Wenhui doesn't bother with that, and the next question is how to pay.
"This." Renault confidently pushed over a box the size of a Rubik's cube, "I'm sorry, we don't have enough money to purchase, but we do have supplies, if you accept barter." ”
What can withstand so many weapons? Wen Hui took the box, it was quite heavy to start, what is this? Rare and precious metals? Or is it something special? After opening it, Wen Hui was shaken by the things inside, which is commonly known as a blind dog's eyes.
A crystal the size of a duck's egg refracted a dazzling light, and the irritating Wen Hui's eyes narrowed into slits, diamond? No, this thing is much heavier than a diamond, according to Wen Hui's judgment, a diamond of the same volume is definitely not so heavy, this feeling of pressing your hand is the same as holding a piece of gold.
The appearance of a diamond, the weight of gold, what is this thing? Please forgive Wen Hui, a native from ancient times, for not seeing what this is.
"Rank 1 energy crystal, how's it going?" Wen Hui didn't speak, staring at the unknown stone, and Renault thought he was evaluating the quality of this energy crystal.
In this world, in addition to the common currency and precious metals, there is also a kind of hard currency, which is a trading object that emerged after the Age of Discovery, and although it has a short circulation time, it is extremely strong. This is the energy crystal that was discovered by accident.
When it was first discovered, it was thought that there was another luxury similar to a diamond, which was much heavier than a diamond, but had almost the same physical characteristics as a diamond. Moreover, this thing was excavated as a kind of associated ore, and it was scarce in quantity and of uneven quality, and no other use was found for it except as an ornament.
Heavy is not as easy to carry as a diamond, only suitable as an ornament, this is everyone's original concept. Until a cloudy crystal the size of a date kernel fell into the hands of a physicist, no one knew what happened during this period, and the federal government has still refused to unseal it as top secret.
The only thing everyone knows is that the physicist has developed a generator, which uses this crystal as a solid fuel, and theoretically can always run and provide electricity as long as the parts of the generator are not worn.
In the actual test, the generator, which covers an area of less than half a square meter, and even some rudimentary power, supports the power supply of the capital for a month, note that it is a space-age city, and it is the capital of the Federation, a city with a population of more than 100 million. The demand for electricity in such a city every hour is terrifying, but that unassuming generator does it! Electricity was supplied to the capital 24 hours a day for a month, until finally the crystals used as fuel bodies ran out of energy.
The federal government only released the results of this test, and then declared that the energy crystal was the most regulated item, and that all unofficial channels were strictly prohibited from circulation, and the rest of the information was kept tight. The physicist is gone, and the walls of his former laboratory have been scraped off...... Soon after, military spacecraft were replaced with new power systems, and many power-hungry research institutes quietly had independent energy facilities, and some regions and planets suddenly alleviated the problem of power resource shortage......
With the passage of time, people also know a lot of information, such as the larger the size, the higher the purity of the crystal, the energy contained in the crystal will increase geometrically, a little difference brings a huge difference in value. When the grading system and instruments for identifying the purity of crystals came out, energy crystals officially became the hard currency of the universe era, and people divided it into one to eight grades from high to low, and there were the best special qualities above the first level.
It is both a good and a currency on the black market, and since there is no fixed output model, anyone can encounter it in mining operations, and the federal government has no stable channels, so in addition to mining itself, it is also buying at a high price on the black market, which is a semi-open secret on the black market.
The purity of the piece that Renault took out in front of him reached the first level, and the energy crystal that reached the size of a duck's egg was excavated during the development of PZK26, and the miners who didn't know what it was, and finally it fell into the hands of the rebels, and it has been preserved as the bottom of the pressure box until now, you must know that the largest energy crystal found so far is only the size of a walnut, but the purity is super-grade, one level higher than this.
"Can energy be used as payment currency?" The thing in front of him is so awesome, but Wenhui doesn't know if the system accepts it.
"Of course, this is a higher system of monetary units, and that's perfectly fine." The system quickly gave a text reply, along with the exchange formula, after all, this is not the same as spending money to buy electricity.
Looking at the total price of this batch of arms, using the exchange formula to convert, Wen Hui's eyelids jumped, damn! As long as three crystals of this size and purity can fully pay off Renault's purchase order, Wen Hui will have to give him change if he calculates carefully.
