Chapter 2147: Maritime Threats
Someone will ask here, is it possible that in the eyes of those people, a longevity pill is more important than a war ship?
The answer is yes, the longevity pill is definitely more important than a war flying boat.
For example, if you come to the earth with a longevity pill that can prolong your life for 60 years, and then ask for an exchange for the most advanced nuclear/dynamic/power aircraft carrier in the United States, I believe that the United States will absolutely agree in the end. (Of course, the first condition is that the United States knows that its strength cannot take you, otherwise, it will be the army of the United States that will greet you at that time.) )
Why?
The reason is very simple, those behind the scenes in the United States need longevity pills!
Even if this matter is leaked out and known to the ordinary people of the United States, the United States /// government /// government will not be afraid.
It's not to use military means to suppress those voices who disagree, there is a better way for the United States ///government to explain to the public the role of the longevity pill directly, and use the study of the longevity pill to explain to the public.
I believe that as long as this excuse is used, all opposition will disappear.
Even if there are some objections, those who make up the majority will directly address them.
Prolonging life is not only the crazy pursuit of the upper class, but also the ordinary people will be crazy about it.
In the hearts of modern people, there is nothing that cannot be researched through science and technology, so as long as there is a physical object of longevity pill, for the people of the United States, they will think that it is only a matter of time to research it.
And as long as they study the longevity pill, then of course they can enjoy it, at most it is a matter of price, but it is much better to hold their breath and enjoy the longevity pill.
Of course, on the side of the Shenzhou Continent, cultivators definitely didn't have the mind to buy it back and study how to refine the Longevity Pill, because, in the cultivation world, there are many ways to refine the Longevity Pill, but the main materials for refining the Longevity Pill, as well as the alchemist, are the real big problems.
Don't talk about the main materials, if you want to refine the longevity pill, without the main materials, it will be like a good woman facing a rice cook, and she can't cook at all.
However, after having the main material for refining the Longevity Pill, there is still no suitable alchemist who can refine the Longevity Pill.
Every material of the Longevity Pill is extremely expensive, so the difficulty of refining is not small, especially to be careful not to destroy the elements of the relevant Longevity Pill in the spiritual material, which strengthens the difficulty of refining, therefore, if you want to refine the Longevity Pill, this alchemist must at least be the strength of the Great Grandmaster, otherwise, you don't want to refine the Longevity Pill at all.
There are so many harsh conditions for the refining of the Longevity Pill, which is why in the cultivation world, its quantity is extremely small, and every time it comes out, it will cause a huge sensation, and the price is even more sky-high.
Oh, you said that it is not worth spending a huge amount of spirit stones for the sake of a longevity pill, it is better to use these spirit stones to strengthen your own sect or family.
You actually don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you say that, just because you haven't reached the limit of your lifespan, and you haven't felt the imminence of death, so you can say such big things.
However, for those who feel that the limit of life is coming and death is approaching, as long as they can buy a longevity pill and extend their lives, no matter how many spirit stones there are, they don't care.
Many terminally ill patients, such as patients with advanced cancer, advanced leukemia, etc., don't they know that no matter how much money is spent on treatment, it is actually useless.
But why do so many people still prefer to sell their houses and owe a lot of money, or continue to insist on treatment?
I believe that everyone knows the reasons for this, so sometimes it seems that other people's actions are stupid, but in fact, there are difficulties in it that you can't imagine.
You think it's a waste to spend such a large sum of spirit stones to buy longevity pills, this is actually a kind of jealousy in your heart, jealous that others are richer than you and can afford longevity pills, so you who can't afford it at all will say those words.
Once you have enough spirit stones, I believe you will be equally crazy to pursue the Life Extension Pill, even if you pay a lot of spirit stones for this, you don't care.
"1930,000 spirit stones!" Soon, the third princess took the price.
"Our third princess has responded to the price, 1,930,000 spirit stones, so now the price of this war flying ship is 1,940,000 spirit stones, 1,940,000 spirit stones......" The auctioneer on the stage looked directly at the barbarians, as well as Prince Li of Houhai Kingdom.
"1940000 spirit stones!" a loud voice sounded, and the barbarian powerhouse took the price.
"Very good, our barbarian powerhouse took the price of 1,940,000 spirit stones, and now the price is 1,950,000 spirit stones, 1,950,000 spirit stones, the third princess, Prince Li, what do you think?"
"1,950,000 spirit stones!" Prince Li accepted the price without hesitation, but his face was ugly, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at the barbarian powerhouse and the third princess.
"Hee-hee" looked at Prince Li's eyes, and the third princess laughed directly.
"Yo, is our Prince Li heartbroken about the cost of the spirit stone, it seems that your Houhai Kingdom is not doing well!" the third princess said with a sneer, and took the previous offer by the way.
"Hmph, how can our Houhai Kingdom be stronger than your Houtang Kingdom!" Prince Li said angrily.
"2,000,000 spirit stones!" Immediately after, perhaps in order to fight back, he directly raised the price to two million, and then looked at the third princess with a provocative expression, waiting for her response.
"2000000 spirit stones, 2000000 spirit stones, our Prince Li bid 2000000 spirit stones, this is the highest price in this auction of this auction house, everyone present, cheer!" The auctioneer is very good at things, and after seeing that the price has broken through 2000000, he used words to incite the people around him.
"Boom!!" The crowd around didn't need the auctioneer to stir up at all, and after hearing that the price had finally broken through 2,000,000, everyone's emotions exploded at once.
It's like a reservoir that has been accumulating water flows, and as soon as the floodgates are opened, countless streams of water rush out at once.
"Two million spirit stones, this is two million spirit stones, these people are really rich!"
"I really can't imagine that a war flying ship can be auctioned for a sky-high price of two million, and I really can't understand the current world!"
"Alas, is war coming?!" This is a relatively sober person, after seeing this war flying ship being auctioned for such a sky-high price, endless black clouds immediately surged into his heart.
"It's worthy of Houhai Country with a mine in his home, what a local tyrant!"
"It's really an increase in knowledge, an increase in knowledge!"
Countless voices of discussion continued to sound, and that relatively sober voice had long been drowned in the countless voices of discussion around him.
"Two million, two million, it's really so simple to break through two million, this" Gu Ying said to herself dumbfounded.
Although because of Lin Ze's explanation just now, she understood that it was only a matter of time before the price of this war flying boat exceeded two million, but now that the price really exceeded two million, Gu Ying thought that she would not be excited, but at this time, she was actually excited.
"The Prince Li outside is now directly bidding 2,000,000 spirit stones, this is today, and it is also the highest price in this auction, this highest price comes from our Prince Li of Houhai Kingdom, and now the price of this war flying boat is 2,010,000 spirit stones, 2,010,000 spirit stones, our Royal Highness the Third Princess, and the strong man from the barbarians, are you two ?...... the price now" Soon, the auctioneer's voice sounded again, and he looked at the three princesses and the barbarian powerhouse with fiery eyes.
After thinking about it for a while, the barbarian powerhouse directly chuckled and shook his head, put away the bidding number plate in his hand, and then announced that he had withdrawn from this competition!
Obviously, the price of two million is already beyond the bottom line of this barbarian powerhouse, not to mention, looking at the current situation, even if he continues to persevere, it is unlikely that he will win this war flying ship, plus when he was in front, he has already won one, so it doesn't matter if this one is gone.
If the price does not exceed two million, or if it exceeds a little bit, the barbarian powerhouse is not hesitant to spend some spirit stones, but since the current situation is no longer something he can handle, and he does not think about taking down the two war ships, it is natural to give up first.
Seeing that the satisfied strong chose to give up, Prince Houhai Guoli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because this time he was really bound to win this war flying boat.
Although he had already bought one before, it was not enough to have one.
Before coming back, the emperor of Houhai asked him to take back at least two ships, and for this, he didn't care even if he paid a sky-high price.
The current situation of the Houhai Kingdom is really serious, they not only need to deal with the prying eyes of the surrounding countries, especially the peeps of the Houtang Kingdom, but also need to face the attacks of those extremely powerful sea beasts in the ocean, as well as the elusive pirates.
In the face of the threat of the Later Tang Kingdom, the Houhai State didn't care much, one was that the Later Tang State could threaten the army, and the Houhai State had enough strength to deal with it.
Even if they are weak, they can turn to other countries for help.
However, the threat of those powerful brute beasts in the ocean, as well as the elusive pirate legion, has to rely entirely on the Houhai country itself to deal with it, because, among the surrounding countries, the naval strength of the Houhai country is the strongest, and the combined naval strength of the other countries is not as good as the Houhai country, how to help the Houhai country.
Moreover, they also need to worry about whether those powerful pirate legions will come to their country to take revenge once they help the Houhai Kingdom.
These countries don't have the same strong naval strength as the Houhai Kingdom, and once they are targeted by the pirate legion, it will be a real headache.
Therefore, until now, the threat from the sea has been dealt with by the Houhai country alone.
