Chapter 628: The Essence of a Profiteer
The Dongsu Star and his party really opened Zhou Yu's eyes, he hadn't been to the Broken Star Domain, but he had never seen a place like the Dongsu Star. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is completely different from what Zhou Yu expected before, Dongsu Star is not a community composed of one tribe after another as he saw before, Dongsu Star is a completely high-tech city. All kinds of mechanical buildings rise and fall in the urban area, just the planning of the city and the structure of the mechanical building, they are far better than any city in the Yuan Ding Kingdom.
Yes, any city.
Whether it is the "previous life" or after being reborn, Zhou Yu has traveled to many places, especially some relatively large cities in the Yuan Ding Kingdom, but even the imperial capital that seems to be extremely brilliant in the eyes of the people of the Yuan Ding Kingdom, there is no way to compare with the Eastern Primal Body.
Of course, the reason why the Dongsu star is so dazzling is mainly because although the people on the Dongsu star body live in a different way from some other stars in the Broken Star Field, their use of the star still has a strong flavor of the Broken Star Field. Even when Zhou Da and they first landed on the East Sur Planet, they felt that this was not a city at all, but a country at all.
At least two-thirds of the Dongsu star has been developed, and of course, there are almost no resources on their star that have not been used, which is also very much in line with the situation of the broken star field, and the people living in the broken star field basically don't expect too many resources to appear on their star body, because the resources in their star have been used and are almost gone.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for the humans on the astral bodies of the Shattered Star Domain to fall into a desperate situation because they still have the Star Monument. When Zhou Yu saw the Star Inscription Tablet on the Dongsu Star Body, his mood became very complicated. Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that the Dongsu Star needs to establish contact and cooperation with Liubo City, and even if necessary, the Dongsu Star may establish exchanges and contacts with the Yuan Ding Kingdom and the Qin State in the same way, firstly because they do not want war to break out, and secondly, because the resources on the Dongsu Star are already seriously lacking, and they naturally need to trade with the outside world to be able to communicate with each other.
And Zhou Yu can foresee that many things on the Dongsu Star will definitely be very popular in Liubo City in the future, because it can be seen from the interstellar spaceship of the Dongsu Star that their technological level is far ahead of Yuan Dingguo, and even Zhou Yu's memory of "rebirth" cannot be compared with Su Lan's technological level. That is to say, even if the gears of time turn forward step by step, and when Yuan Dingguo experiences the era of scientific and technological explosion, the level of science and technology here cannot be compared with the Dongsu star at all.
"It's a good thing. Zhou Yu said secretly in his heart. In fact, he could think that although the Dongsu star was only a star, when this star appeared in the territory of the Yuan Ding Kingdom, the entire Yuan Ding Kingdom and even the Qin State and Liubo City would definitely be greatly affected. Zhou Yu's first thought was that this must be a good thing, after all, just one Dongsu star can definitely drive the improvement of the scientific and technological level of the entire Yuan Ding Kingdom, as long as the bigwigs of the Yuan Ding Kingdom and the Qin State do not get carried away by interests and think about attacking the Dong Su Star Body, then they will definitely be able to bring boundless benefits to themselves.
Science and technology is a leap forward, and the benefits it can bring can really be said to be immeasurable, whether it is the lives of ordinary people, the cultivation of warriors, or even the rise to the national level of armaments, it can be greatly improved.
But there is another point that makes people a little nervous, that is, although Yuan Ding Kingdom, Liubo City and Qin State can exchange more new technologies through exchanges with Dongsu Stars, and even try to use Star Tablets, but the most anticipated point is precisely the most vigilant point, that is, after all, the Dongsu Star is a star from the Broken Star Field, not only is their technological level ahead of all the surrounding stars, but even the personal strength and overall combat power of the warriors on the Dongsu Star are far superior to those of Yuan Ding and Qin, including the armed forces in Liubo City, which cannot be compared with the Dongsu Star at all, then once the Dongsu Star thinks of aggression at this time, whether it is the Qin State or the Yuan Ding Kingdom, it will be impossible to resist it at all.
Now the only psychological comfort that Zhou Yu can think of is that the population on the Dongsu star body is limited after all, although the number of martial artists on the entire Dongsu star body is more than that of the ice field star, but because the proportion of martial artists is too high, the number of ordinary people here cannot meet their expansion too much, if the Dongsu star really wants to attack the star in the territory of Yuan Ding Kingdom and expand its territory, it can defeat a dozen stars at most.
Of course, a dozen stars is already a big loss, even if the star field of the Yuan Ding Kingdom is vast, it can't help such a loss, you must know that there are only about thirty stars in the entire Qin Kingdom, and that is already all the territory of the four northwestern provinces.
Now Zhou Yu can only hope that what Su Lan said is true, although Che Songguo is a country established in the Broken Star Domain, they are at least peace-loving, and they can really do it like when they were in the Broken Star Domain, just start a war with foreign races, and they won't cause too many incidents with humans. As for how far it will happen in the future, Zhou Yu can't accurately speculate now, and he really doesn't want to rack his brains to think of some questions that he can't think of answers.
It's just that in the end, Zhou Yu couldn't help but say, "Su Lan, I'll still say one thing." ”
"Reluctantly invited?" Su Lan said with a sudden smile. After getting along with each other on the Dongsu star in the past few days, Su Lan also has a little understanding of Zhou Yu. To be honest, he still has a good impression of Zhou Yu, even if Su Lan is a relatively righteous person, and he really hates the Moon People to the extreme. And against Qi Nanfei and Qi Song in Liubo City, although Zhou Yu was in a daze at first, his performance on the battlefield later shocked Su Lan, or rather, Su Lan.
Of course, although the knife that killed Qi Nanfei was also very exciting, at that time, Su Lan's eyesight had naturally seen that Qi Song's physical condition had become very poor, but it was the knife that attacked Qi Nanfei that was the most powerful.
As the two of them communicated more, even Zhou Yu more or less taught Su Lan some cultivation methods in terms of space power, which made Su Lan's good impression of Zhou Yu even better. It was precisely because of this that Su Lan joked with Zhou Yu at this time. Of course, Su Lan is not a fool, he can naturally understand that Zhou Yu's deliberate overtures are naturally to achieve some goals, and he also understands that now is the time for Zhou Yu to make a request.
Zhou Yu is not pretentious, anyway, this world is like this, the most direct or effective way to get along with people is to make transactions, as long as everyone can take what they need, they will naturally be able to communicate better. Looking at Su Lan, who seemed to be smiling, Zhou Yu said directly: "You also know that there is a country near Yuanding Kingdom called Amaterasu Kingdom. ”
"You know, you've mentioned this country more than once, and it's clear that your country has a deep grudge against Amaterasu, and even now wars break out all year round. Su Lan nodded and said, he even knew about the independence of the Qin State and the fact that Song Siwen and they were still fighting a bloody war with the Amaterasu Kingdom. However, all of this was conveyed to Su Lan by Zhou Yu in 1510, because Zhou Yu had thought about mentioning this matter at the beginning, so he didn't want to leave a secretive impression on Su Lan.
"If you can, I hope that the exchange will only be established between the Yuan Ding Kingdom and the Qin State and the Liubo City, you also know that the Dongsu Star Manifestation is right between the star fields of Liubo City, the Qin State and the Yuan Ding Kingdom, and our three forces can just establish a perfect line of defense, and you Dongsu Star Bodies do not need to worry about the defense of the star field. Zhou Yu said step by step.
Su Lan still just smiled and motioned for Zhou Yu to continue.
"If it's just a scientific and technological exchange with our tripartite forces, and we can share the use of the Star Monument, we can even promise to give you more things, and you can independently increase the price of some things that need to be exported, and we can all accept it, as long as we don't have to establish exchanges with Amaterasu. Zhou Yu finally said what he wanted to say the most.
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at Su Lan very nervously, in fact, he also knew that this was not a very reasonable request, or this was the "reluctant request" mentioned by Su Lan in the previous joke, but even if it was a reluctant invitation, Zhou Yu still said it, because he knew deeply what these things on the Dongsu star body meant. If it was only Amaterasu and Qin and Liubo City that established communication with the Dongsu Astral Body, then they would naturally be able to learn the latest technology very smoothly, and even have the opportunity to use the Star Monument.
If they can reach such an extent, the advantages they can grasp are naturally incomparably enormous. Although Zhou Yu could also think that no matter how much they communicated, it would be absolutely impossible for the people and martial artists on the Dongsu Star Body to hand over their core techniques, and even if it was just to get some very superficial things, the three forces would need to put forward a great price, and when the time came, once the forces of all parties intrigued again, the East Su Star Body would take advantage of the fisherman, and it would be able to continue to bleed the three forces. But even if this is the case, they can bear it, because if any force on either side does not improve, the final result will definitely be surpassed by other forces, and if it does not progress, it will become backward, and backwardness is destined to be beaten. The reason why the Yuanding Kingdom was a big country was suppressed and beaten by Amaterasu was because of the backwardness of science and technology, of course, including the backwardness of the system.
So now Zhou Yu naturally hopes to get rid of Amaterasu, so even if it is Liubo City, Qin State and Yuan Ding Kingdom finally formed a tripartite force competition, which must be a good thing, and even Zhou Yu really hopes to form such a competition, even if the Yuan Ding Kingdom court is backward, they have naturally realized the importance of advanced science and technology, and when those Yuan Ding Kingdom bigwigs see that Liubo City and Qin State are increasing their strength more frantically, they will naturally catch up, and this point is also available for those old antiques in the Yuan Ding Kingdom's court.
Zhou Yu is really well-intentioned now, after all, he is only disappointed in the Yuan Ding Kingdom's court, not in Yuan Ding Kingdom, after all, it is his motherland, but how can anyone with some conscience hope that his country will decline. The country, the country, if even the country is defeated, what will the time come.
In fact, whether it is Song Siwen of the Qin State or Zhou Yu who brought Liubo City to independence, their ultimate goal is to get Yuan Dingguo out of the current status quo of backwardness and decay, everything is to make the country better, really that's all.
Su Lan looked at Zhou Yu quietly, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, but Zhou Yu's mood became worse and worse, as if he had seen Su Lan's final decision. Sure enough, after being silent for a long time, Su Lan finally shook his head and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for us to refuse the request of any country or force that wants to establish diplomatic relations with us. ”
When they heard Su Lan's answer, Zhou Da and Tao Ran, who were following Zhou Yu, couldn't help but show angry expressions, in fact, they had been walking around with Zhou Yu and Su Lan in the Dongsu Star Body for the past few days, and Zhou Da and they were very clear about what Zhou Yu said to Su Lan. According to their thoughts, even if Su Lan didn't share the same hatred for Amaterasu with them now, at least he should have a bad attitude towards Amaterasu, but Su Lan was reacting like this now, which naturally made them quite puzzled and somewhat emotional.
However, Zhou Yu looked at Su Lan's reaction now, but he didn't feel surprised, but felt normal. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Well, I respect your choice. ”
Su Lan looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise, although he and Zhou Yu have been together for a while, and they have been playing a few psychological games with their own minds in the past few days, but in Su Lan's opinion, Zhou Yu should be regarded as a more impulsive character, but now Zhou Yu's reaction is much beyond his imagination. Even Su Lan had already prepared her words, and the words had already reached her lips, but she didn't expect Zhou Yu to accept this fact so calmly in the end.
As a result, in the end, Su Lan could only explain quite awkwardly: "Fortunately, you can understand this, but in fact, we can't help it." After all, interstellar warfare is different from ground warfare on the astral body, even if the three forces you said can really do their best to ensure our safety, but you are not unaware of the vastness of the interstellar space, it is true that if Amaterasu wants to directly cross your defense line to attack the Dongsu astral body, it will definitely be difficult, but as long as they want to, they can definitely do it. ”
"Even if they attack, you don't have to be afraid, don't you, not to mention that we can also come to the rescue when they attack, and then we can easily encircle and annihilate their starfleet. Zhou Yu was still a little unrelenting, and added a few words with the last hope.
Su Lan still shook his head and said: "We don't want to make enemies or even form a hostile relationship with any force, after all, we are not sure that we will definitely stay here forever, say something you may not want to hear, whether it is Amaterasu or Yuan Dingguo, we don't have any grudges with you, as long as we can maintain neutrality, naturally we don't have to worry about war, besides, what you want is our technology, and when the time comes, everyone will take what they need, isn't it better?"
In fact, now Zhou Yu has also understood what Su Lan meant, and he understands the deeper meaning of Su Lan's words. He tried his best to bring Amaterasu into it, and the most important thing was because once Amaterasu also participated in the exchange with the East Prime Planet, then the four forces would negotiate a deal with the East Prime Planet, but if you carefully calculate it, this is actually a competition between the two forces. Because without the participation of Amaterasu, even a temporary alliance might be formed between Qin and Yuanding and Liubo City, and they could lower each other's prices to ensure that they exchanged the least amount of resources for the most things from the Dongsu star, after all, they all belonged to the same root and the same origin, so it was naturally possible to reach an agreement in this regard.
But after Amaterasu joins in, things will become a lot more complicated, Amaterasu will even come up with a higher price in order to get more things, and then it will be impossible for even the bigwigs of Yuan Ding and Qin to lower the price, once they are reluctant to resources, the final result will be that Amaterasu will get more things than them, and this is the last thing Zhou Yu wants to see.
Looking at Su Lan's frank smile, Zhou Yu had to admit that he had really looked away before, and Su Lan's loyal surface still hid a profiteer's heart after all. Of course, Zhou Yu can still empathize after all, and look at this problem from Su Lan's identity and perspective, everything he does is just to help the Dongsu astral body get more, and it can also ensure that they maintain a more stable state in such a complex environment, so it is natural for them to do so.
Seeing that the final deal still had the most disappointing result for Zhou Yu after all, although Zhou Yu could understand Su Lan's approach, he couldn't help but say: "Although the appearance of the Dongsu star is very sudden, it is impossible for a black hole to appear so frequently, not to mention that even if it appears, it may not really be able to teleport to the place you want to go through a black hole, after all, a black hole is not a wormhole." ”
Su Lan suddenly became serious, looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple, that is, you must be prepared to stay in the territory of Yuanding Kingdom for a long time. And if this is the case, you choose absolute neutrality, and maybe if there are any accidents in the future, there will be no allies to help you solve the problem. After all, technology is a thing, as long as everyone is always in a star field, sooner or later they will reach the same height. Zhou Yu said very calmly.
I have to admit that Zhou Yu's words really have a bit of a threat. Su Lan didn't understand what Zhou Yu meant, but in the end she smiled faintly: "These are all later words." ”
"That's right, that's all for later. Zhou Yu also smiled.
Just when the two of them were tacitly looking at each other and smiling, one of Su Lan's adjutant suddenly rushed over, and after whispering a few words to Su Lan, Su Lan's face instantly became ugly.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, something happened?"
