Volume 3 How Profiteers Are Made Chapter 24 Small Metal Smuggling (I)
"The Western Divine Realm has a population of seven million, five million sets of armor and twelve million weapons on the register. That is, almost one set of armor per person, and almost two pieces per person. Therefore, the number of casualties in the Western Divine Realm every year due to weapon fighting is more than 300,000. So, all we have to do is ...... Let each person in the Western God Realm have more than two sets of armor - which can be changed and maintained normally, and each person has more than three different blades - to cope with different geographical environments and battles of different opponents!" This generous speech with completely different realms before and after came from Luo Qian, who was standing on the bank of the great river.
Luo Qian returned to the fairy world and smashed Du Condensation with the largest order in history, and then the two came to the bank of the great river in the fairy world to express their hearts. Luo Qian remembered this classic line from "The King of Weapons" that he had seen in the Nether, so he tampered with it and copied it out, which really made Du Condensing "shocked".
These days, he has been in the Imperial Sword Platform for a long time, and he has somewhat dabbled in the weapon, the biggest difference between the immortal realm and the Western God Realm is the formation. The complex formations of the immortal realm are precisely arranged in the magic weapon, giving the magic weapon soul and power, so it can far exceed the level of the Western God Realm. The other two aspects: material matching, heat control, are just the same.
Yujian Tai has a designated task every year, refining magic weapons for the Immortal Emperor, and when Luo moved to Yujian Tai to send the third batch of equipment to be transformed, he happened to meet the old man Guan who was worried about the scheduled task for this year's affairs.
Seeing Luo Qian, the old man Guan said with a sad face: "Lord Luo, if you have the opportunity, tell Your Majesty that the task of sixteen 'Optimus Primes' every year is too heavy, it's not that our Edgeworth Taide craftsmen don't care, it's just that the materials needed by Optimus Prime are too difficult to find, and so far this year has passed the halfway point, and we have only scraped together less than half of the raw materials for Optimus Prime, alas, ......"
Luo Qian didn't know what Optimus Prime was, so he just asked casually, "What material is so rare that even the Imperial Sword Platform feels embarrassed?" Old man Guan replied: "It's just the rest, but there is only one metal material, called 'Hanjing', that is, I have searched all over the immortal world, and there are not many of them." Although the amount of Essence required for each Optimus Prime is extremely small, it is not possible to do it at all. There are no substitutes, and every year we have to use such a small amount, but very rare material category. Old man Guan couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke.
This hooked Luo Qian's curiosity: Isn't this the "small metal" that is now very hot in the Nether, for example, the "" needed to produce LCD TVs, the amount used is very small, but if there is none, it will not work at all.
"What does Hanjing look like, can you show me?" he asked. Old man Guan didn't dare to offend him, and took out a small bottle, and there was about a layer of powder-like silver substance at the bottom of the bottle: "That's it." That's enough to refine seven giant Optimus Primes, but we need to refine sixteen every year......"
It was very recognizable, with a silver powder glowing like fish scales. Luo Qian recalled carefully, he really hadn't seen such a thing, no wonder even the Imperial Sword Terrace had to worry about it.
Fifteen days passed quickly, and Luo Qian sent 300,000 sets of equipment to the Western God Realm in batches, and at this time, he felt more and more the benefits of having a Qiankun bag - at least he didn't have to run back and forth several times. He had seen one from Qi Ren, but it was also someone else's beloved thing, and the gentleman didn't take people's favor, so he was embarrassed to ask for it.
The God King was busy arranging a counterattack, and on several walls in the temple, there were structural maps of the gods and demons fortresses in the Broken Mountain Range and the topographic maps of the mountain passes, and he did not shy away from Luo Qian, Luo Qian carried equipment, and he discussed the battle plan with the generals, which made the generals feel that the relationship between His Majesty the God King and Luo Qian was "not ordinary".
With 300,000 sets of equipment shipped to the front line of the Broken Mountains almost overnight, the God King chose the Benefit Fortress with the most complex terrain to limit the speed advantage of the Shadow Demon's troops. The fortress has already assembled 300,000 troops equipped with new weapons, five people and one elixir, and they are well prepared. The God-King secretly mobilized his Archangel Guard to go to the fortress as a knife commando.
Luo Qian was not on the battlefield, and he didn't know the fierceness of the battle this time.
It was evaluated by the later generations of the Western God Realm as one of the five most tragic battles in the history of the God Realm, and the God King Archangel Guard, which was responsible for the assault mission, was fully armed with 3,000 people into the battle, and in the end, only one hundred and thirteen people withdrew from the battlefield alive. Of the 300,000 newly equipped Divine Realm warriors, 170,000 were killed and 70,000 were wounded, with a casualty rate of 80 percent.
Similarly, the demon army also suffered heavy losses, the 70,000 demon troops guarding the fortress were all wiped out, and the 60,000 demon troops who rushed to support from two nearby fortresses were scattered, with more than half of the casualties. The 50,000 reserves that had been drawn up from the rear were all wiped out......
At the same time, this is also the history of the divine realm
A battle of strategic significance brought the God Realm from a precarious war situation to defeat the most terrifying "Shadow Demon Follower" troops in the Demon Realm for the first time, which became a turning point in this war between gods and demons. After this battle, the Divine Realm began to gradually reverse the decline, and gradually regained the lost fortress and drove the demons back to the Demon Realm.
In the history of the Western Divine Realm, the people of the Divine Realm were praised for their indomitable bloody struggle, and with their steely will and never-give-up fighting spirit, they defeated the invasion of the Demon Realm, saved the Divine Realm, and saved themselves. But no one knows at all that behind such a huge battle of gods and demons, there is a small fairy smuggler hidden, at this moment, this fairy smuggler is moving step by step towards the "big predator" in his goal, and has already achieved a little success.
"Your Majesty, we have agreed to the price. Sitting in the temple of the God King, Luo Qian said very unhappily. The Broken Fall Mountain Range was victorious, and the army of the God King swept away the decline, and the Demon Realm was unable to hold on to the Broken Mountain Range. The God-King needs more new equipment. But the God-King doesn't have that much money to pay the bills anymore.
Not only the future bills, but even the first bill, he could not pay them off.
The God King said helplessly: "Luo Xianren, we have cooperated for so long, don't you know who I am?" I swear in the name of the God King, within thirty years after the end of the war, I will definitely pay you off even Bendaili. Luo Qianqi's eyes rolled: "Thirty years, thirty years!" The God King was also very helpless, the war had been fought for so long, and his finances had already suffered a serious deficit.
It's just that the war has just improved, and if the soldiers on the front line can't get new equipment, it will be difficult to curb the crazy counterattack of the demon world, so he can only be cheeky and owe Luo Qian money to continue supplying.
"It can't be, Your Majesty, you know, it's impossible. Luo Qian shook his head again and again, refused, and was categorical. Seeing his attitude, the God King sighed helplessly, and threw out the second set of plans prepared in advance: "Luo Xianren, if you don't want to, then I have another way." There is a Saint Spar Mine in Sedang Province, which is one of the six largest spar mines in our God Realm, it belongs to me, I will mortgage it to you, and this spar mine will be called Luo Spar Mine in the future. I can also give you three hundred miles of land in the vicinity of the spar mine to pay for your purchase. You have to deliver the remaining 1.5 million pieces of equipment to me in near-batches. ”
Spar Mine! That's a good thing like the Immortal Jade Mine, the Divine Realm Money Printing Machine! Luo Qian was tempted, and it was also one of the six major spar mines, so he was too rich. However, he was still a little uneasy, and added some chips: "In addition, you must also pay me one billion energy coins, and in addition, your arsenal provides ordinary equipment for free." The god-king bargained on the previous article: "I can only give you 500 million." ”
"800 million!", "600 million!", "700 million!", "Deal!"
The God King paid for a spar mine and three hundred miles of surrounding land, as well as 700 million energy coins, to get a long-term supply from Luo Qian.
It's just that the moment the deal was reached, how could Luo Qian feel as if he had suffered a loss, because His Majesty the God King showed a heartfelt smile, and the meaning of that smile was not just as simple as "happy cooperation". However, now that an agreement has been reached, Luo Qian cannot go back.
The province of Sedang was adjacent to the province of Lobak, where Gesberti was located, and it was also close to the sea of clouds, so Luo Qian borrowed a map from His Majesty the God King, measured it, and a circle of three hundred miles happened to be part of it sticking into the sea. Luo Qian muttered on his lips, as if he was very dissatisfied with the shrinkage of his territory, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart. Judging from the magical map of His Majesty the God King, this coastline, with reefs dotted with bright or bright cases, and many cliffs by the sea, although not suitable for fishing, but the wind and waves are high, and it is the favorite habitat of the fierce beasts in the sea. And often these fierce beasts hide the most valuable materials for making weapons.
Luo Qian received the certificate from the God King and said goodbye to the God King to take over his territory. He didn't go directly to Sedang, but made a detour to Loebuck. Luo Qian told Gusberti and Fortis that the family had spent a lot of money to buy the Holy Land. When the two heard this, they smiled bitterly together. Luo Qian looked at their expressions and asked strangely, "What's the matter, this spar mine is one of the six major spar mines in the God Realm!" Gessberti said, "Yes, to be more precise, it is the oldest of the six major spar mines—it only has a one-year mining life......"
