How to price things like star cherry wood is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. In the past, star cherry wood was basically controlled by the Song clan. The Song clan, who was good at doing business, would never surprise anyone with the price they offered. There was only fright. However, given the importance of the resuscitation potion and the huge difference in potency between those with and without the Star Sakura Wood, the Emperor could only hold his nose and endure it.
What is in front of you now are three star cherry trees, and they are of high quality. They are used to refine the resuscitation potion, which can almost bring the generals back to life. How to price the lives of six high-level generals?
Lan Xincheng was stunned for a long time, then Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Master Qianye actually has a star cherry tree in his hand, which poses a problem for me. It's not easy to bring these three things out, right?"
“It does take up quite a lot of space.”
The star cherry wood takes up precious storage space. At the level that Lan Xincheng can access, it is quite good to have one or two cubic meters of space inside the space equipment. If there is room for the star cherry wood, it is better to stuff a few more. Tan white fruit wine.
The place where the white fruit wine can really sell for a high price is Yongye's side, and its value is much higher than that of the star cherry tree. Qianye's choice to bring the star cherry tree back speaks volumes in itself.
Lan Xincheng knew what he knew, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Let's do this. Each of these three star cherry trees will be priced at half a box of dragon scale moss. As long as you take out three more sticks, all the materials will be yours." ."
Qianye smiled and said: "I would like to take it, but unfortunately there are not that many."
"That's true. It's not easy to cultivate star cherry trees, nor is it easy to mature. Those with a little quality have been picked long ago. With these three roots, we can be much more relaxed during the Battle of Floating Land. If we want to let those noble families take it To develop real core strength, you have to give them some protection, right?" Lan Xincheng said with a smile.
This is common sense. When Zhao Yuying, Zhao Junhong and others go into battle, they always carry some life-saving items with them to ensure that they will not fall in the chaos. Resuscitation potion is one of them, and it is very effective. If you want to make people spend it, Elites trained with a lot of resources and time go to the battlefield. Threats, inducements, etc. are not as useful as giving resuscitation potions.
Lan Xincheng looked at Qianye longingly and said: "It's almost done now. As long as there is another box and a half of dragon scale moss, everything in this booklet will be yours. You see, that is hundreds of tons of high-quality Exterior wall plates, and more armor plates. The difficulty with this kind of thing is the large quantity. It is not difficult to get one ton or two tons. If you want to get more than ten tons, you have to be a marshal to approve it."
This is true. The empire's annual output of various steel alloys is probably tens of millions of tons, but only one of them can be used as battleship plates. Judging from the plate numbers given by Yilan Xincheng, they are still above the standard. That would be even rarer, and it would be a truly strategic material. Otherwise, how could it be ranked alongside the Mountain-class engine and the Strider-class main gun?
Qianye pondered: "I still have some things, but they are not easy to value. Also, how do you price these courses?"
"One hundred tons of battleship plating."
Qianye raised his eyebrows and said, "There are only twenty people, each one is worth five tons?"
"Of course it's worth it." Lan Xincheng remained calm, "The empire uses simulated arrays to train warship command. Just the operation of the array is equivalent to a mother ship moving at full speed."
"How big of an array will it be?"
"At least it can cover your Dark Fire headquarters."
"It's not a small feat." Qianye was slightly surprised. The so-called simulation array is just like the battle simulator installed at the Imperial Training Base. The two people are on the console at each end, and the shadows are fighting in the middle. It is only used on battleships.
The command training is amplified hundreds or thousands of times, making the user feel like they are on a battlefield in outer space, and the effect is extraordinary.
"It makes sense that the imperial fleet can repeatedly defeat the weak and maintain outer space."
Qianye nodded. Having served in the Emperor, he knew that outer space was actually another smoke battlefield where blood could not be seen. It was even more tragic than the ground. Once a battleship was severely damaged, in the void
Those crew members with ordinary cultivation have almost nowhere to escape. If the rescue is delayed, even the generals will undoubtedly die.
Qianye destroyed Lin Jiaer's fleet, and in the end Lin Jiaer could only escape with less than half of his men. Most of the crew members died when the battleship was destroyed, with no chance of survival.
Under such circumstances, behind the ability to maintain outer space and protect the safety of the empire's three continents, and the glorious achievements of the floating fleet, are actually outstanding command skills, combat qualities, and the cold bones of countless soldiers.
Hearing Lan Xincheng say this, Qianye knew that the idea of asking the other party to send instructors over was unrealistic. So he asked again: "Can these quotas be transferred?"
"Transfer? Of course you can. But Sir Qianye, are you sure you want to transfer?"
"I may not be able to use that much. Besides, some of my friends may need it more."
"Well, the quota is yours after all, you have the final say. But I want to remind you that this training device needs at least three months of maintenance every year, and the number of people it can accommodate is also limited. There are only a few people every year.
Hundreds of training places. Otherwise, how could one place be worth five tons of battleship plates?"
"I understand." Qianye nodded.
There are not many talents worth cultivating in the Dark Fire, especially since the loyalty of many people is difficult to guarantee. If Song Zining were here, with his methods, he would naturally be able to hold these guys firmly in his hands. But Qianye did not have this ability.
It can be seen that as soon as Song Zining left, something happened in Nan Qing City. If Qianye was the only one who went to the Maelstrom, Nan Qing City would still be the same now, and Zhang Xuance would not even be able to enter Nan Qing.
On the other hand, Qianye doesn't actually attach much importance to floating battleships at the moment, and he doesn't need a battleship commander. Instead, he needs qualified gunners, equipment maintenance and damage control personnel on board the ship, and the marines accompanying the ship are also needed.
Qianye wanted a large amount of warship manufacturing materials for other purposes, so he naturally wouldn't tell Lan Xincheng.
Qianye searched Anduya's space for a moment and took out another small box. This box was only the size of a palm and could not hold much in it. Lan Xincheng held it over solemnly and did not dare to neglect at all.
The value of a treasure has nothing to do with its size. Qianye has already taken out good things such as dragon scale moss, ginkgo, and star cherry wood, and the remaining things are even more worth looking forward to.
The lid of the box was opened, and inside were pieces of crystal clear blue petals, filling most of the box.
Qianye found these from the natives in both arms. They don't know what they are used for. Even Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan couldn't tell. But just looking at them felt good, and they were treasured by the natives. Qianye
I only took a lot of it during the night, and it didn’t take up much space anyway.
Now Qianye took it out just to see if Lan Xincheng knew the purpose of this kind of crystal petals. Lan Xincheng had worked in the equipment department for many years, and he had seen countless treasures, and his eyesight was far superior to those of the appraisal masters.
But after staring at the crystal petals for a long time, Lan Xin pushed the small box in front of Fang Zhan, "Xiao Fang, you guys from aristocratic families have done a lot of research on jewelry, come and see what this is?"
Fang Zhan took it, took out a small bag, and opened it to reveal a whole row of precision tools. He also had space for equipment, but it looked like the capacity was very small.
Most of the tools in the small bag had never been seen or heard of by Qianye.
Fang Zhan smiled and said: "This is my little hobby, gem identification and processing."
He took out a special small caliper, which was covered with a thin and soft skin so as not to damage the surface of the gemstone. After picking up a crystal petal, Fang Zhan placed it under a portable observation scope, and then
Prop up a stand with a metal bead on the top. Then a ray of light emits from the metal bead and shines on the crystal petals.
He put his eyes on the observation mirror, slowly turned the crystal petals, and constantly adjusted the brightness and color of the bead light column.
Such professional appraisal techniques immediately changed Qianye's impression of the opponent. In Qianye's mind, those jewelry appraisers basically just use their eyes to see, and at most they wear glasses or a magnifying glass. They just look.
Tools, just like Zhan, I don’t know how many different levels there are.
It seems that there is a reason why Fang Zhan was sent to a neutral place. He who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun is a playboy, but if he can study deeply to the extreme, he is a master.
After looking at it for a long time, Fang Zhan sighed, and his eyes looking at those blue petals had become much gentler. He coughed lightly and said: "If I expected it right, these petal gems should have been real before."
The petals, for some unknown reason, turned into gems."
Lan Xincheng was moved in his heart and asked: "Like the lotus on the sea?"
"Almost. However, after the sea lotus is solidified into jade, it still retains considerable potency. However, the original effect of these petals may not be strong enough. After being turned into gems, they are basically just pure gems."
"That's it." Lan Xincheng looked disappointed.
Fang Zhan said: "The value of these petals is not low. General Lan, you see, these lines on the inside and outside of the petals are all natural, and no two pieces are exactly the same. And in terms of color, shape, and purity, these are all
It’s a top gem.”
Lan Xincheng knew the value of jewelry, but he had no feeling for such purely decorative items, so he turned to Qianye and said, "Sir, there are other treasures, can you open our eyes?"
Qianye didn't think much about these gem petals, and after hearing that they were ordinary gems, he didn't think anything of it. Anyway, he gained a lot in the maelstrom this time, and he could always find good things.
While he was searching Anduya's space, Fang Zhan quietly pulled Lan Xincheng and said, "General, please collect these gem petals."
"What...can this be used for?" Lan Xincheng was a little confused. After being appraised by Fang Zhan, he also knew that these gem petals were of extremely high quality and were valuable. Such a large box would cost more than a hundred tons of high-quality battleship plates.
No problem. But he is not an ordinary businessman. The concept of transaction is not equivalent in terms of money. Using strategic materials in exchange for jewelry is still a bit difficult to pass.
Fang Zhan lowered his voice and said softly: "General, this kind of gem made of natural flower petals has never been seen in the empire. Except for this box in our hands, there is no more."
Lan Xincheng hummed and did not express his position.
Fang Zhan finally got a little anxious and couldn't care so much. He said straightforwardly: "It will be Empress Li's birthday in two months. In the hands of a skilled craftsman, these petals can be made into a complete set of jewelry, and it is unique! As Empress Li
The birthday gift, regardless of value or art, is enough."
