I was preparing to build the National Academy of Engineering Sciences, and from time to time I went out for a walk to see the site, and a new door to the world opened again.
It’s still in the same corner as last time!
In the past, the distance between the two gates was at least a thousand kilometers. Sometimes when driving from the west end to the east end, the distance could be more than two thousand kilometers.
This time there is only one floating island difference from the last time!
The previous door was stuck inside the Fatel border, but this time it was stuck halfway.
According to the floating island coordinate method, before the island became a floating island, one-third of the islands with numbers -5 and -5 were Fateer, one-third was outside the country, and the middle was a tributary of the Luna River, which was also unable to be farmed. of swamp.
Fatel didn't know how to think about it. He didn't include the whole island. The local lords might also be a little afraid. Gradually, the island became a tripartite state. The two big lords led several small lords, and Fatel's The Border Earls face each other across the river.
This time, the door directly swallowed up the forces in North Point.
According to the agreement made during the last checkout, I will send two aircraft warriors to the local area, and the rest will have nothing to do with me.
After waiting for more than ten days, the envoy from the main world arrived.
This time, the victim was the Lado Kingdom, which happened to be the home where Wang Qi was beaten by the demons when he returned from his trip.
They seemed to be prepared. As soon as the envoy arrived, they made reasonable motions:
The Kingdom of Ladu purchased the strategic map of the Southern Demon Realm Gate from the Phoenix Kingdom and paid for it in Hades Steel. Under the premise that the freight is reasonable, Ladu can use additional Hades Steel to pay for the freight.
It was confirmed so quickly that there was a Demon Realm Gate in the south. No one would believe it unless it was premeditated.
The door to the south is Gate No. 2, which is -5-5 floating islands away. There are only three islands in the middle. Maybe there will be another door here in the future, so what do you want to do with Gate No. 2 first?
In fact, it's not bad. Gate No. 2 is stuck outside the border of Fatel, but the other party only hoards heavy troops and occasionally takes care of a few ice demons at the request of the local lord, but does not make any big moves.
Maybe the main world will let Fatel move through some kind of deal?
Anyway, as long as you deal with the demons, you are protecting your own market. You can negotiate, but the payment must be changed.
Underworld steel is a specialty of Lado and its price is very high. Wang Qi even knew that rare earths were used in some processes of forging the steel. But since it is a specialty product and is hand-forged, it will naturally not be cheap.
What to change?
Food is a good thing, but unfortunately the terrain of the Ladu Kingdom includes many deserts and Gobis. The entire kingdom is relatively short of water, so it is estimated that it will have to import food itself.
Otherwise, just trade rare earths.
Rare earth is the collective name for the lanthanide series elements from 57 to 71. The more famous ones are lanthanum, cerium, and neodymium. The former one is 57, the representative of the lanthanide series. The latter two are important components of the two generations of artificial strong magnets.
As long as they account for a few tenths of a percent in steel, they can greatly change the macroscopic properties of steel, which is very useful.
But it is not very easy to use. Like the radioactive actinium series, the chemical properties of the lanthanide series are similar, so separation is very difficult. Both Phoenix Steel Works and Rainbow Metal have come into contact with rare earth resources in the penal colony, and so far they have not found any High-purity rare earth oxides, as a result, the application effect will not be much better than the Hades Steel of the Kingdom of Ladu.
Anyway, Wang Qi checked the rare earth box. When he gets it at home, he can use it as a reference for people in the two factories, laboratories, and alchemy workshops. It may promote the development of rare earth separation technology.
If you don't want to, then you should choose precious metals. It doesn't matter if you don't want to pay for gold and silver. Copper, platinum, and palladium are all fine. Anyway, as long as there is industrial potential, anyone will be accepted.
The two sides had some conceptual differences. Fortunately, Envoy Ladu was of a good level, and he quickly realized that "underworld" was rare earth.
This thing was all over the floor. I didn’t expect it to be a substitute for gold, so I quickly agreed.
The two sides spent the next few days discussing the price.
As the holder of the map, the Phoenix Kingdom naturally wants to lower the price of rare earths. According to Phoenix coins, ores with more than 300 per ton are considered to be of high quality. In order to be convincing, the Phoenix Kingdom also took the envoys to the exploration expedition headquarters to visit the ore exhibition hall. . Basically, only gem mines and minerals that have been reduced in weight through rough processing can be sold at relatively high prices. The price of raw ore can range from tens of yuan per ton.
Envoy Ladu was naturally dissatisfied. Although he didn't know what the rare earths were for, he wanted to sell them for more money.
In the end, they took into account the limited opening time and did not push too much. After the two parties made concessions, they decided to refer to Ladu's main ration prices and convert the rare earth raw ores into equivalent values.
Rare earths are actually in the form of earth, which may be sand or clay. To avoid unpleasant troubles in the future, some things must be made clear. The Phoenix Kingdom has the ability to detect whether the excavated material comes from the same area, so it is best not to mix anything into it.
The transaction here quickly started. At the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the envoy went back and came back soon to discuss trade with the representatives of the local lords who were brought by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There is only one thing in the southern area, food. Apart from that, everything in the main world is meaningless.
For Ladu, there are too many good things in the southern area, especially the light truck that he bought in Omar, the Kingdom of God.
Lado has a large area of desert and neighboring areas, and the overall terrain is relatively flat. There is no need to build special roads at all to reduce the failure rate of light trucks to a very low level.
After the confrontation with the envoys, the lords also knew that Ladu's grain output was not good, so they had no choice but to take a step back and ask Ladu to transport grain at twice the previous price.
Twice the price is very conscientious for cross-world trade.
The southern region is already in a state of food shortage, and it is time to raise prices. Ladu itself is only a transporter. The food they import is already more expensive than outside, so they have to earn some transportation fees. And to deliver food to the door of the world at twice the price of Omar in the Kingdom of God, the entire aristocratic system of Lado has no profit at all. It is considered charity, and only the individuals who handle it make some profit.
However, the actual operation is not accessible here. In terms of time difference, the supply of goods is collected directly from the private sector, and there is no time to wait for the customs declaration of new grain transportation. Maybe there will be oil and water in this.
Regardless of whether the people of the main world are suffering or not, the food sent to the southern region is truly life-saving.
If the doors are opened here in the future, and the envoys are as good as Envoy Ladu, it will be a good thing for the entire exile.
Of course, the pressure from the demons in all directions will be greater.
It's the same this time, maybe because the initial Demon Realm Gate is right next to the Godfall Dynasty, and Gate No. 1 is always ready to move.
The "small gifts" previously released during the abnormal increase in Gate 1 Gema showed signs of cluster movement, and aerial reconnaissance did not find any large army entities.
Probably broken down into parts.
But the problem is not big. As long as the hands and feet in the small gifts are not discovered, the only result for the small number of advance troops is to be killed by the divine warriors guarding the world gate. The God Warrior also has the opportunity to harvest a complete set of construction materials for large-scale temporary portals, and is very willing to cooperate.
