Chapter 923: Not Enough
"The production has increased, so the cost should be able to be reduced, right?" On the way back to the imperial capital, he asked Su Qinghan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, the five-star equipment required at least millions of crystal nuclei, the five-star product was more than 10 million, and the ninth-level equipment was not to mention, a set of at least hundreds of millions of crystal nuclei! With such an extremely high price, even with the financial resources of the Daomang Empire, a large number of equipment is loaded, the burden is quite heavy!
She thought for a moment and said:
"Of course it is! In the past, things were expensive, mainly because they were difficult to process and too time-consuming! The price of raw materials is just one of the reasons! Now with the production line, the cost of each complete set of reserves can be reduced by at least about 70%, and with the improvement of the production line in the future, and the scale of production will be further expanded, and it will continue to decrease! ”
"Of course, this is limited to equipment below the five-star grade, and the equipment of the five-star and nine-level grades, because the processing difficulty is too high, and the raw materials are too precious, even if it can be mass-produced, the cost will not be greatly reduced in the short term!"
"As long as it can be reduced by two or three percent, it is almost a good result, don't worry, come slowly!" Ye Qingyuan said with a smile, "However, it would be nice if the current empire could mass-produce demigod equipment!" ”
Su Qinghan's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you joking?" Demigod equipment is not cabbage, you can estimate as much as you want! Besides, even if there is such an unnatural production line, do you have enough raw materials? ”
"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" The night is far away,
"I've already seen it, and the technology obtained from the second Yuangu Base only has the production technology of ninth-grade equipment! However, isn't the third base still open? When I have time in the future, I'll go get it back, and maybe I'll find something good! ”
"Excellent! The technology is there, but the raw materials? Su Qinghan said,
"I have estimated before that although the current empire can collect a lot of rare raw materials in a year, there are only one in a hundred things that can be used to create sub-artifacts! Therefore, the practical use of this technology is not very meaningful! ”
Ye Qingyuan said disappreciatively:
"If one day in the future, the Daomang Empire can unify the entire Star Sea, plus those savage galaxies around it, which year will naturally countless rare materials be developed, and what are you worried about using them at that time?"
Su Qinghan's face couldn't help but stagnate, and he was a little uncertain:
"If that's the case, it's almost possible! Mass production of sub-artifacts! My Majesty, only you dare to say such madness! ”
"What's that?" Ye Qingyuan said confidently,
"After the empire unifies the Star Sea, I will also lead the fleet to expedition to that Haoting Xiaodu Celestial System, and incorporate the territory of tens of millions of light-years into the territory of the empire! There are also countless galaxies in the distant starry sky, as long as the Imperial fleet can reach, it should become the territory of mankind! ”
Su Qinghan opened his mouth, and he was about to question it, but he turned his mind and thought: Maybe he can really do it? This nephew of his own, can fight hard to build such a super-grade empire from scratch in just a few years, who can say that he is not qualified to unify Xinghai?
"Your Majesty!" Shuangyan suddenly came in and said,
"The envoy led by Princess Dai Yu'er, the first heir to the Bojiang Empire, has arrived in the Imperial Capital Universe Region and has asked for an immediate meeting with His Majesty! How do you reply? ”
Ye Qingyuan said unexpectedly: "The princess? Is he finally here? Look at it and understand, it's all at this time, and it's really too late if you don't come! ”
Su Qinghan said a little nervously: "This group of Zibo Jiang people is not good, and if you don't make some excessive demands to Your Majesty, it is better to ......"
"Don't worry," Ye Qingyuan smiled indifferently, "No matter how powerful that princess is, I'm not afraid of her at the moment, after all, this is on my own territory!" What is there to worry about? ”
As he spoke, he said to Frost Yan, "You let Randall entertain them first, and I will arrive later!" ”
Princess Qi came to him, it should be for the matter of that treaty, however, that thing had already been burned by him, and such harsh terms, as long as a king with normal nerves, could not accept it! He's certainly no exception!
However, at present, the Bojiang Empire is afraid that he has lost his patience, and this time he should be forced to make a statement, if he still chooses to refuse, his superfluous idle affairs will never be small!
So, what kind of means will the other side come up with to punish him for his uncooperative attitude? I'm looking forward to it!
In the Imperial Palace.
At the negotiation table, Princess Qi calmly stared at Ye Qingyuan on the other side for a full ten minutes.
There was not the slightest hint of anger in her eyes, not even any other mood swings, but everyone in the hall felt an invisible pressure that increased as time went on! Even those fierce and extremely powerful worshippers have a terrible feeling that they are about to suffocate!
However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was at the center of the pressure, showed no signs of discomfort, he just sat leisurely in his chair and looked back at the princess opposite him with a new look on his face.
It seems that the princess's extreme spiritual coercion has not affected him as much as her own charm!
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I guess I'm going to talk to you alone!" After a long time, a cold voice sounded in the empty hall.
"Of course, that's fine!" Ye Qingyuan was as good as a stream, got up and said to her:
"I'll talk about it after I leave for a while!"
Yu understood, the two of them walked out of the main hall and walked along the crystal corridor all the way to the back garden of the imperial palace.
On the way, she just lowered her head and stroked the jade flute in her hand, and didn't open her mouth for a long time. Ye Qingyuan didn't urge, and he didn't hang out with her arrogantly or impatiently.
Although it is autumn, the scenery in the back garden has not been affected at all, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and a variety of precious flowers are still blooming and fragrant!
Princess Qi pursed her red lips and thought back and forth for a long time, and finally said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, are you really unwilling to change your mind?" ”
"I've never changed my meaning, and I never feel that there's anything wrong with my own meaning!" Ye Qingyuan said lightly,
"Bow down to a different race, let alone me, almost any human with some self-esteem would not accept such a thing!"
"In the eyes of glory and wealth, what can the so-called dignity and integrity withstand?" She snorted softly and coldly,
"I've seen a lot of people in this palace who claim to regard fame and fortune as dung, but when piles of crystal nuclei and bricks and groups of beautiful women appear in front of them, those things are just tools they use to exchange benefits!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you have been abandoned by everyone since you were a child, and you came up from the battle of the trapped beasts at the lowest level of human society! It should be clearer about the words of this palace, no human being will not think for himself, as long as his own interests can be guaranteed, even if others live a miserable life, what does it have to do with him? Even if that person is of the same race! ”
Ye Qingyuan said calmly: "You are right, human beings are indeed a selfish lifeform, no matter how noble a person is, it is impossible to be selfless, including me!" However, this is not a reason to turn your back on human society! I am of pure human blood, and I am the Emperor of the Human Empire, so of course I can only do everything in the interests of my own race! ”
"What kind of conditions do you need to agree to sign a contract?" Princess Qi stopped, looked back at him and said:
"At first glance, this treaty is really a loss to you! However, have you estimated that no matter how much human society has lost, as an emperor, and the royal family behind you, it will never be affected in the slightest! ”
"As long as you sign the treaty, you are still the emperor of the empire, enjoying high power, endless wealth and beautiful women! The royal family is still royal, and everything is the same as before! It's not clear what the hell you're holding on! ”
Ye Qingyuan smiled: "Then tell me, why should I agree to your unreasonable request?" Why do you ask human society to make such a sacrifice without enough rewards? At present, we are not the servants of the Bojiang race, are we? ”
She said slowly: "Anyone has a price, as long as the price given is enough, this palace can buy anyone who is estimated to be bribed, in the past, this palace has done a lot of such things!" As long as human nature remains the same, the means of this palace will still be effective! ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you currently have an empire, so to buy you, the price you need to offer is really a bit high, and it is not something that ordinary things can buy! However, Hongu is still confident that he can come up with enough to make your heart flutter! ”
"I want to hear about it!" Ye Qingyuan smiled,
"Actually, I'm also trying to see where my psychological bottom line is? What kind of interests do you need to shake my will! I hope the princess doesn't let me down! ”
Princess Qi bowed her head gently and reservedly, took out a palm-sized photon computer and handed it to him: "You can take a look first!" ”
After Ye Qingyuan took it over and started it, a huge monitor appeared in front of him, and it was filled with dense names of items.
He took a closer look and found that all of them were rare treasures famous in the sea of stars, and most of them were valuable treasures! There are so many types, so many of them, so many of them, that even as the lord of the empire, he has a feeling of shock!
In addition to the treasures, the most valuable ones are those rare potions that have great benefits for the cultivation of supernatural abilities, with these things, it is completely possible to cultivate an astonishing number of super strong legions formed by the Dry Star Powerhouse Commando in a short period of time!
"There are many treasures here, which were previously only available to members of the Imperial Family such as me!" She smiled and introduced,
"Your Majesty, as long as you obtain these things, you can completely create a powerful force that is purely loyal to the royal family! With them, no family race can pose a threat to the royal family! In addition, the palace also brought three hundred beauties, all of whom were of noble blood selected from the top of the major wealthy families in the imperial court! ”
"As long as Your Majesty gently bows your head, these are all Your Majesty's alone!"
"It's a great gift, but it's not enough for me to unveil my principles for the time being!" Ye Qingyuan turned off the monitor and said lightly:
"I have an empire in my hands, so these things are not indispensable, and I don't need to go far and wide!"
Qi bowed his head lightly: "Yes, of course, these alone are not enough to make you bow your head!" So, plus the Southwest Star Sea? Does it make you tempted? ”
"Southwest Star Sea?" Ye Qingyuan was horrified in his heart, and asked quietly,
"According to your covenant, isn't that the territory of the Yanwei people? You say this because you want to ......"
"It's very simple, the Southwest Star Sea is now scattered, and that group of half-human, half-snake guys are trying to figure out how to lay out, wanting to unify the Southwest Star Sea into a big country!" Qi said with a smile,
"If you can agree to our request, then the Bojiang Empire will send troops to contain the Yanwei race for the Daomang Empire, and withstand the pressure from the other two races, and Your Majesty, you can lead the fleet and safely incorporate more than 7,000 cosmic regions of the entire Southwest Star Sea into the empire's territory! In this way, the Daomang Empire will possess two-thirds of the territory of the human world! How do you feel? ”
Now, even Ye Qingyuan had to be surprised by the courage of the Bojiang race! One-third of the Star Sea World, I didn't expect it to be sent out so easily! Of course, it can't be said to be a send, he still has to rely on his own fleet to fight it down after all, but if they take action, the pressure on the Daomang Empire will indeed be much less!
Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and said softly: "The Yanwei race is not what it used to be, and the empire is no longer the empire of the past, I am confident that with the empire's own strength, it will also take the Southwest Star Sea!" Therefore, the attraction of this condition to me is not as great as you suppose! ”
Princess Qi's face was a little cold: "Don't underestimate those guys!" Although they have suffered a lot at your hands in the past few years, as an old civilization, it is by no means something that a human empire can easily bully! Without our containment and help, the little bit of the Daomang Empire's family background would not be enough to see in front of their eyes! ”
"Okay, you don't know until you've beaten it!" Ye Qingyuan said lightly,
"I haven't met a really difficult opponent since I started, and I hope this race won't disappoint me too much!"
"In other words, you're still not willing to sign the contract?" Princess Qi didn't expect that this emperor would still refuse her suggestion in front of such generous conditions!
Ren is she has excellent self-cultivation, and she is also a little annoyed at this time!
"Yes, because these conditions are still not to the point where I can abandon my principles!" Ye Qingyuan said without flinching.
"Alright! Since such conditions are not enough to tempt you, then, this thing in the hands of this palace, I guess why you won't refuse it, right? She hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a palm-sized, milky white crystal ball from the Void Bracelet.
The crystal ball was translucent, and there was a small green sapling-like thing sealed in it.
