Chapter 308: The Greedy Demon, Greedy Again

Shakaner said, "The upper council is considering expanding the Sky City. Some experts believe that a mountain must be moved to simulate the natural environment and create a better environment for plants and animals in order to increase production."

The Mountain Moving Plan - this project requires huge manpower and material resources, and it needs to be publicized in advance and ideological mobilization should be done.

It was somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectations that the people were not only not resistant to the spectacles, but showed great enthusiasm!

80% of the population thinks that the Green City is not big enough and does not have enough trees.

We really need to find a mountain and move it all away, otherwise how can we deserve the title of "Green City"?

"Major Sand, when will the investigation of the Moving Mountain Project be completed?"

"For more specific plans, please ask the Institute of Engineering."

"How much productivity can this Piranha Plant increase for our human civilization?"

"It's dying now. We have to revive it before we can make it work."

"On the other hand, our trade with the Shumiba Civilization is still ongoing. We can sell some fruits in exchange for some new materials."

"Can we find more large trees? In addition to the Poppy Tree and the Tree of Life, the Piranha Plant is the third high-quality tree. Should the Green City be full of high-quality trees?"

Shakaner frowned and said, "That's a really lame question you asked."

Do you think such big trees can be found everywhere?

This is the most precious thing among the relics of the previous era.

It would be good if you could pick up one.

"This large carnivorous plant comes from Mr. Lu Yuan's second hometown, the Meda civilization. In our culture, there are also traces of the Meda civilization... So this big tree is called... the Meda Tree."

"We have gained a lot in this operation. We have traveled 10,000 kilometers and encountered many difficulties..." He kept thinking about what he should say and what he should not say, and began to speak in an official tone.

…

While Shakaner was dealing with reporters there, Lu Yuan slipped out of the room.

This amount of wealth is still not enough to exchange for the 31 craftsmen, he still has to contact the Lize civilization!

After nearly two hundred days (2 days) of preparation, the Lize civilization finally received the dream letters sent by the Poppy Tree and they were officially launched one by one.

"Meida Park" was transformed by Lu Yuan from a 30,000-meter-high Tree of Life into an ordinary green city landscape.

When receiving aliens, it is better to be low-key. There is no need to make a big fuss like when receiving humans.

After the lizard people came online, they looked at each other and then looked around. It was obvious that this was the first time they had experienced such a large dream and they were a little shocked.

“It feels like the real thing.”

"Long time no see, Moxie."

"It's been less than a year, and everyone has aged a lot."

These city leaders, distributed in the east, south, west and north, communicated through "communicators" in the past.

Sitting face to face like we are now... It was a year ago, before we entered Pangu Continent.

"Hello, everyone. I am Lu Yuan. I am very happy to see you all again."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said straight to the point: "What you are seeing now is a large-scale dream ability that can effectively replace the communication function of the metal box communicator."

"Everyone, please take a branch as the 'key' to use this dream function in the future."

When the communicator was mentioned, the lizardmen seemed a little worried, and they all took a branch from their dreams.

If you want to operate in Pangu Continent, it is necessary to destroy the "communicator".

Although this dream ability is a little inconvenient, it is also an effective substitute.

Lu Yuan's personal credit is still quite high in their eyes.

"I gathered everyone here mainly to discuss the transaction. I have already written down the cause and effect in the last letter."

"Then I will give you a copy of Lingbao Tongjian Kaoyi for free."

"Thank you so much." These lizardmen all performed standard etiquette.

It’s not that Lu Yuan deliberately tried to be a good guy.

On the one hand, the Lize civilization simply cannot afford the "Lingbao Tongjian Kaoyi" with 10 spiritual charms, let alone the one with 1 spiritual charm.

Without this book, it would be impossible to judge the price of extraordinary items, and there would be no way to trade them.

What's more... there is still a friendship between the two sides.

The cannons, machine guns, and sealing resins obtained from the Rize civilization saved my life in the war, and the gift of knowledge was considered a way of repaying that favor.

Although the exchanges between civilizations are cold, there are some personal relationships between the leaders of civilizations.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. The world is too depressing and it's not easy to live. It's just a small favor. Everyone can afford it. Even those advanced civilizations will leave some gifts. You don't have to mind it."

He added: "The Shumiba civilization we encountered is a relic of the previous era and has a rich heritage. If you have any needs or want to buy or sell anything, you can tell me.

"I'll make the purchase for everyone and deliver it to your door. We humans have to stay here for a while anyway."

The lizardmen gradually quieted down, occasionally talking to each other.

In the past two days, they discussed a lot and deeply knew that this was an opportunity.

"How much is the technological product worth?" asked Moshi, the governor of the first branch.

"It's hard to say," said Lu Yuan. "Durable technological products can indeed be sold for a bit of money, like telegraphs, electric lights, pistols, etc., the prices are reasonable."

"Some things that are too complex and too advanced can't be sold for a lot of money. Because the Shumiba civilization has such a small population, they have almost given up on physical technology and only developed idealistic technology, so their maintenance capabilities are limited."

"You know, in the last era, they had a large population and were also developing technology. Maybe their technology is more advanced than ours!"

“But the population is too small to maintain it, so we have no choice but to abandon it.”

The lizard people are worried.

Their technological level is already average, and now the other party doesn't want it. What should they do?

Lu Yuan changed the subject: "But we in Sky City still need technological products, especially production equipment such as machine tools, as well as nuclear power units, thermal power units, and various weapons and ammunition. We really need these, so we can purchase some."

"But we are not very wealthy, so please give us a cheaper price. You can even lend it to us for a while."

There is really no particularly good standard for the exchange of technological products and idealistic items. It all depends on the needs and negotiations of both parties.

According to humans' own research, they can at most take out one or two hundred spiritual-level extraordinary items to trade for these things.

I can't afford any more.

By the way, humans can also sell some knowledge in exchange for some technological products...Friendship is friendship, and business is business.

What's more, one hundred spiritual charms is a very large number. If the other party gives less, humans may not be willing to exchange.

Of course, the Rize civilization had not been without preparation in the past two days.

Several cities with strong scientific and technological capabilities came up with a list of supplies.

"Mr. Lu, take a look, this is the price we can accept."

"One Lingyun in exchange for about 100-200 million yuan worth of supplies, what do you think?"

The 200 million yuan of Lize Civilization can almost buy a 50,000-ton die forging press.

If converted into machine gun bullets, it would be about 40 million rounds.

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking that the price was quite affordable.

He casually handed this document to the secretariat in the rear.

Some experts think it's OK: "There's no need to buy machine gun bullets. We can slowly make them ourselves. Industrial mother machines are obviously what we are in urgent need of."

"One Lingyun is really not expensive."

Some people also feel that they are at a disadvantage. As for technology, they can slowly climb up because of their large population. As long as the talent mechanism is sound, they will always have what they need.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But the idealistic resources of Shumiba civilization are difficult to buy again once you miss them.

Some experts even think: "One Lingyun, in exchange for 200 million, it's a huge loss... The GDP of the people of Rize should be at least 100 billion, right?"

"How many spiritual rhymes do they produce in a year?"

"One Lingyun for two billion is about right."

However, Lu Yuan felt that this kind of deal was quite profitable - according to the current rate of development, it would take at least a hundred years to produce these industrial machines, and a population of tens of millions would be possible.

He sighed softly: "When doing business, it's enough to make money for yourself. Why do you care whether others make money or not? If you see others making a lot of money, you will stop doing this business. Isn't that stupid?"

"And you underestimate the difficulty of developing physical technology."

"These machines were brought from their mother civilization. They are top-notch products produced by the industrial chain of billions of people."

"Now when they sell one, they have one less."

"And our idealistic technology tree is actually a bit skewed compared to materialistic technology."

Think about it, the development of physical technology can also promote the progress of idealistic technology.

For example, the purification of certain idealistic elements, the cultivation of plants, and the raising of animals, which one does not require the support of physical technology? Even if it is ironmaking, the probability of making good things is greater if there are better materials.

It is really worthwhile to exchange less than a year's output for accelerated development.

Moreover, humans have a "universal factory"! As long as there is a prototype, subsequent machines can be copied using the universal factory!

As a result, the intended order worth over 10 billion yuan was quickly concluded. The secretarial team in the rear was responsible for reviewing what was worth purchasing, which was actually a lot of work.

And the people of Rize were obviously relieved.

100 Lingyun, that’s a lot of money.

But it is still far from financial freedom...

What else is there to sell? They also have some relics from the previous dynasty, but the most expensive one is the Soul Infant Fruit. There are only a few of them, and they can't sell them at a high price.

Suddenly, someone asked, "Mr. Lu, how much is the sealing resin worth? There is no similar price written in the Lingbao Tongjian Kaoyi."

Here we come!

Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he said the truth: "The item that can seal the [ghost] must be of great value..."

"But I'm afraid the price is too high. If these rat people get greedy, I'll be in big trouble."

That is true.

The lizardmen discussed for a while, but poverty still overwhelmed their worries: "Mr. Lu, why don't you take one and ask the price? Just say it's a product we provided."

"Anyway, we are a civilization in a safe zone."

"Even if the rat people are greedy, they can't do anything to us."

There is no way. If the Rize civilization wants to rise, it will always have to take some risks.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, then let the Seventh Branch prepare one or two sealing resins, not too big, I will go talk to the Shumiba civilization."

Lord Leon of the seventh branch temporarily withdrew from the dream space to prepare the sealing resin.

But Lu Yuan was not in a hurry. After all, 10 minutes of preparation in the safe zone would take more than ten hours outside.

"Mr. Lu... there is something I don't know whether I should tell you." The governor of the first branch, Mo Xi, said, "I wonder if you have found a way to seal the [ghost]."

This was their nightmare! They couldn't sleep or eat well when they thought there was a "ghost" in the safe zone.

"Unfortunately, there is absolutely no idea of ​​how to fight against the [ghost], even though it has been thirty-four years."

Lu Yuan told the truth, even if he transformed into the World Tree and ate the conch, he still couldn't defeat the ghost.

As soon as these words were spoken, many lizardmen sighed in unison.

It makes sense.

[Ghost], the current combat power ceiling, how can the civilization at the beginning of the era be able to deal with it? Lu Yuan asked: "So your solution is to open the safe zone and find a corner to throw the spaceship with [Ghost] on it?"

"That's all we can do. Pangu Continent is so big..." Mo Xi said with a wry smile, "This is actually a valuable asset, but we don't have the strength to do it. What's more terrifying is that the existence of the communicator has exposed our coordinates, so we dare not rashly open the safe zone..."

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, so this choice is indeed not easy to make.

"Okay, I understand..." Lu Yuan nodded, "My opinion is that even if you want to throw it away, don't throw it in the same place. It's better to separate them. It can greatly slow down its recovery."

"That's right."

The old cat in the secretarial group at the rear suddenly spoke into Lu Yuan's ears: "Either you, Old Lu, do a good deed and take the most dangerous head away? Or leave the others to them?"

"Am I crazy...keeping a time bomb next to me?" Lu Yuan said unhappily.

"You threw the spaceship into the cemetery. Time passes more slowly there." The old cat said, "Let's not talk about the value of the [Demon] and [Ghost], how much is the sealing resin alone worth?"

The head has the most sealing resin, 10 times more than the others combined! But it also carries the highest risk.

The old cat's whiskers trembled: "A sealed ghost, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Yuan was eager to make something. The greedy demon god hadn't been so greedy in a long time.

The old cat sneered, "If it were you in the past, you would have held the ghost's head and had a long talk with it. It's really different now that you have a wife."

"Damn it, this is called rationality!"
