Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth weirdness
Before leaving, since we already knew that there was civilization here, Yunhai also brought some precious metals as gifts for civilization exchanges.
The four ancient civilizations once regarded gold as valuables, as well as ancient Greece, Rome and Persia. In an era when communication was inconvenient, they also regarded gold as rare metals. This is one of the very rare special consensus.
Most civilizations on the Yanghe River also have such a consensus.
The result was unexpectedly, the price of precious metals was quite valuable! The price of gold was 300 yuan per gram!
The price of silver is about 50 yuan per gram, and many civilizations need these precious metals, which are very easy to sell and the price is very strong. As long as someone sells it, someone will definitely buy it.
According to this price, a kilogram of gold bars is 300,000!
Lu Yiming took a deep breath, feeling a little curious and confused about this fact.
I don’t know why these civilizations need so many precious metals...
There are still many reserves of gold and silver resources. Yunhai still transported about 40 tons of gold bars on the Curse Continent, which was equivalent to about 12 billion. As for silver, it is a very important industrial metal, and the reserves are even larger, about 540 tons.
Of course, the current carrying only 20 kilograms of gold and 100 kilograms of silver is equivalent to about 15 million.
Faced with people's behavior of selling gold and silver, the Borillian civilized diplomat seemed very excited and hardly bargained. Instead, he added 10% of the price and sold it for 17 million.
"After thinking about it, it should have something to do with the sacrificial ritual, otherwise there is no need to buy gold or silver..." Li Yao was quite puzzled by this situation.
"Many of the precious sacrificial vessels are made of gold, such as masks in Egypt, scepters, Buddha statues in India, etc., and three gifts for Christians when worshiping Jesus: gold, frankincense, myrrh, which symbolize kings, priests and prophets. On the contrary, the ancient Chinese ritual vessels were mainly jade and bronze."
There are also various arms equipment. Lu Yiming did not want to sell high-end arms, nor did he want to sell high-standard technological equipment. It is not a good thing to expose his technological strength. So after thinking for a long time, he only sold some ordinary pistols and rifles, and some ammunition.
Finally, I sold spare speedboats, diving suits, etc., which had some technical content but were not very high. These goods were still very popular in ancient civilizations.
In this way, I finally collected 35 million yuan in fees.
This fee is an astronomical figure for individuals, but for the entire Yunhai civilization, it is really just a drop in the bucket and is almost not a big price.
The Jin civilization also sold gold and silver. They also sold some dragon scale armor, a large amount of food, and several parrots with certain translation capabilities to stumble and collect the expenses.
Of course, they also owed Boril civilization hundreds of tons of food. After all, this trip did not transport the food, so it was OK to use credit.
"Your civilized barracks are still in the Yanghe River... No problem, no problem. You only need to pay off the credit within one month, otherwise the interest will be calculated. The price is 3% per month. If you can't pay it back for half a year, we will have to come to collect the property in person."
After doing such a big business, the civilized diplomat of Boril seemed very happy.
Lu Yiming frowned slightly.
Anyway, the other party's expression seemed very strange, and he didn't seem to be afraid of Yunhaihao and Jin Civilization, who were more powerful than them...
He was so careful that he randomly signed the name "Lu Erming" on the agreement, for fear of writing a real name, and then he was caught. Anyway, the agreement is just for tearing it down, and no one cares about its reliability.
The Boril diplomat completed all the procedures and said excitedly: "Then, this island is yours! Please rest assured that because its geographical location is remote, no one should have rashly occupied it."
"We will also free up a piece of land for your civilization near the Central Square. The initial area is 300 square meters. This part of the area is free. You have to build the house above yourself. It cannot exceed 6 floors or a height of 30 meters."
"If you want to expand your trade area, you have to buy it from us, which is not very expensive, 1,000 yuan per square meter. But the maximum can only be expanded to 1,000 square meter... Our territory is also limited, and maybe more civilizations will come in the future? Haha, in the future, our place will definitely be more prosperous."
Lu Yiming nodded: "Please be a little trouble and take us to that island to take a look."
"Okay, no problem..."
The diplomat quickly greeted a group of people and took them to the target island.
It was still quite a distance of 600 kilometers. It took about 35 hours in total, and Lu Yiming finally saw his own island...
Above is a lush coconut tree with almost no trace of artificial construction. The sharp-eyed Captain Li Yao even saw the crab crawling on the beach!
On one side of the island is shallow water area, where corals and various fishes can be seen vaguely on the seabed. With an unprecedented biological density, it seems that there is really no disaster in this world.
The dragons of Jin civilization fished wildly in the water, ate seafood and ate enough... They really didn't sense any danger and started playing with each other in the ocean. Obviously, they also knew that this was their future home.
On the other side of the island, the water depth increased significantly, just like a cliff. Two kilometers away is the deep water area, which is more than 400 meters, just enough to accommodate the stopping of the entire shelter.
The water depth is even more than 600 meters away.
"What a strange place, the slope changes so much. But... this island is OK! The Boril civilization is not lying." Lu Yiming looked at the sun above his head. The sun was very fierce, and the temperature was about 30 degrees Celsius.
He squinted his eyes and looked at his future home.
Perhaps, this world is an opportunity for the real rise of Yunhai?
As for the dangers here... it is highly likely that a civilization is making small moves, it is possible that it is the Borial civilization, and it is also possible that one of the more than 20 ancient civilizations has not been investigated yet.
As long as you survive here for 10 years, no, just 5 years, and digest the foundation you have at hand, the entire refuge will definitely become stronger.
Nearly a hundred soldiers and geography experts carefully measured the area of the island, which was almost the same as the numbers in the protocol.
A geographic expert whispered: "The high point of the island is 70 meters higher than the sea level. At night, the area of the island will be submerged by the tide. However, in the daytime and after the tide is low, it is indeed the number in the agreement."
"How much will it be submerged?" Lu Yiming asked.
"It's 15% of the area. The problem is not too big. As long as we lay out some dams on the coastline, we won't be flooded."
"Okay, I won't care about their little moves." Lu Yiming nodded.
The civilized diplomatic team of Borill seemed a little tired when they saw that the other party was quite satisfied.
The diplomat in charge bent down and saluted, saying, "Since both sides have no objections, this island is yours. There is nothing else, so we took the lead in saying goodbye... If there is a resource requirement, we can also go to the trading market to trade."
"By the way, the 10-kilometer sea area is also yours! In the 10-kilometer sea area, you can drive out ships of other civilizations at will."
"Of course, other civilized islands also have such regulations. When encountering other small islands, please be sure to pay attention to this. Without the permission of the owner, please do not approach it rashly to avoid causing a series of disputes."
Lu Yiming nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your company along the way. Thank you very much."
After watching them leave, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so good. It's so good to have a safe land on it! Although it's very small, it's all-in-one, fertile soil, forests, and rocks. It's so good...
Lu Yiming stepped on the sand on the beach and asked, "What do you think of this small island? During the exploration, we didn't find any danger."
"The danger was not discovered. This island is completely original, with insects and crabs extremely active... But it is too small, it is really too small, at most it can only be a tourist destination. A larger tsunami may flood the place. The highest point is only seventy meters, which is really not very safe. We have to build some seawalls on the beach..."
"We can also build a temporary shelter here, so we can let go of tourism in normal times and take shelter in emergencies."
Just as everyone was discussing, Li Yao rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel that this world, including the Borial civilization, is a bit strange."
"Under the surface order, there seems to be something hidden... For some reason, I always feel unnatural during the visits these days... I feel frightened from time to time."
"They also bought gold and silver... It's a bit inexplicable."
The Borial civilization is a civilization with an ideological bias towards the West, and it is possible to believe in religion.
In Western civilization, gold is of great value, because gold symbolizes God and glory, and represents the flawlessness of a certain divine person.
"How do you say this Borial civilization? There is always a sense of discord. It does seem to be a technological civilization, but what do I say..."
Lu Yiming also agreed with Li Yao's point of view. He thought for a long time and said, "I feel that they are a little nervous and deliberately show off their strength to us. What kind of cars, protein and other knowledge have to be shown, as if they can't control their emotions."
