For such people who don't understand the market at all, local businessmen are prepared to make a fortune. Therefore, they bid as high as possible on the selling price of their own items. As for the purchased items, the prices are as high as possible.
The pressure is as low as possible.
However, we took into account that although the other party may not understand the market, he does not have any social common sense at all. Therefore, although the price of the purchased items is very low, it is generally about 70% of the market price.
The prices of the items for sale have also increased by a similar amount. In their opinion, this is already a quite outrageous price. But in the eyes of the exploration team, it feels quite strange. They have not experienced this stage in the Middle Ages, or maybe it is
The time period similar to this stage is very short, so there is considerable doubt about the prices in this world.
Among the products purchased, many were steel and other things. The purchase prices of these products seemed to them to be ridiculously high. They did not know much about the value of currency in this world, but they did not know much about the value of money in this world.
It is easy to figure out how to convert different currencies into different items. According to their conversion, the same quality of steel can be exchanged for grain a hundred times the quality.
It may even be more. If it is smelted high enough, made of steel, or has been made into finished weapons, then the amount that can be traded will be even more. Even these things are sold by the piece.
, like works of art that need to be auctioned.
"Well, you guys should be buying finished products here. Take a look at the gun in my hand. How much should I sell it to you? I don't have a particularly clear understanding of the value of your currency.
Just tell me how much steel this thing is worth in your place."
One of the members of the exploration team took out the pistol he was equipped with, and then took out a pack of bullets, and taught the shop owner how to shoot with this thing. In fact, this is not difficult. Although people who learn this world are extremely
Most of them have never touched a gun, but they know how to use this weapon.
As for those adventurers, they can add their own extraordinary power to bullets. The more excellent the firearms, the greater their effectiveness on the battlefield.
The semi-automatic pistol in front of me is a rare item of equipment for most adventurers.
The store owner wanted to say that this thing couldn't be measured by the value of steel. But after thinking about it for a while, he still made a conversion in his mind.
"If you want to sell it, if you have to use steel to measure it, it should be worth about a hundred times as much as steel of the same quality."
The captain of the exploration team did some calculations and roughly realized that his gun could be exchanged for ten tons of food, and industrial products of this level were not difficult to produce in the current ice country.
Even if they have lost the advantage of processing underwater, industrialization has basically been completed now. The transformation is not too difficult. After all, their foundation is there, and if it is not possible, they can use fully automatic machinery to process in magma.
The machines they have developed now are all high-temperature resistant types. They can completely operate in magma, but their people cannot enter the magma to operate as before. Some industrial production can be temporarily restored. In a normal temperature environment
There are materials with sufficient strength under the water, and they also have a considerable degree of technology accumulation. It will take ten years to completely restore the original industrial level by transforming the machine tools originally located underwater into those used on the ground. But if it is a small batch
It is not difficult for them to produce such industrial products. Even if the transportation system on the planet is basically paralyzed, it will not be a troublesome thing for them.
"I understand. I will continue to trade with you in the future. By the way, we may need to hire local people to build a road to facilitate the transportation of our trade goods."
Hearing these hurtful words, he immediately realized that this was a very wealthy man who had taken advantage of him. He immediately agreed, and then contacted the businessmen he was familiar with in the city where he was located, and used his own channels to exchange for their resources.
After a period of mediation, he, as the leader of this trade, got connected with the trade group from another world.
The two sides first traded small batches of food and weapons. Soon, the practicality of these weapons was verified, and a large number of bullets were also transported to be used as consumables for the weapons, ensuring that these weapons and equipment would not
After the lack of bullets and the inability to continue using it, trust was initially established between the two parties and the food was successfully transported on the first trip.
The construction of roads began. The first thing to be built was naturally rail transit. After all, it was to ensure sufficient transportation capacity.
For the first time, people in this world saw what a train was. They saw a train transporting a huge mass of matter to the vicinity of a space gate, and then transporting it to another city through the space gate.
After several large-scale trades, the people in the Fire Kingdom have actually realized that the people in the Ice Kingdom are much better than them in terms of technology. Therefore, they have continuously lowered the prices of firearms many times. The Ice Kingdom has
Therefore, although they argue on the surface, they are actually reducing prices little by little.
Because they have so much room for price reduction, even if the price is reduced to 1% of the original price, they still have huge benefits. Even if it is reduced to one thousandth, they may not lose money. In this kind of trade.
The food crisis on the Ice Transition side has been temporarily solved. It has also contacted other cities on the Flame Planet through other portals. Trade with unified pricing has been carried out. Although the Ice Kingdom side ate information to a certain extent at the beginning
Insufficient losses allowed the other party to blackmail a little bit. But others who followed later got the information. After all, although their transportation was restricted, their communication was not restricted. Technology has developed to their current level, and wired telegraphy has
It has connected every city, and even many families already have telephones. Although advanced things like mobile phones have not yet been developed, and similar mobile communication equipment has not been popularized among the people. But for matters related to the survival of civilization, this information is definitely
It was the first time I shared it.
And in the process, they also acquired some knowledge that was of little use. That was the suggestions from people in the Fire World on how to cook these grains.
For example, the wheat they first bought back, because they used to eat mushrooms and the like, rarely required any additional processing and could only be used after being cooked. As for the taste issue, it was simply cooked.
It does seem a bit bland when you eat it afterwards, with only a slight starchy taste. Their solution to this is to cook it and add various seasonings before using it.
Because there are very few foods with peels in their diet. So after acquiring brand new foods, the cooking method they choose is still boiling, and the wheat with shells is eaten even if it is cooked.
It was also very uncomfortable, and during the communication process, they realized that the correct way to eat this food is to grind it into powder before eating it.
Originally, the person who provided this information was a local mill, who was planning to make a lot of money from this group of foreign swindlers. They were fools who didn't even know that wheat needs to be ground before it can be eaten. I thought it was a good idea, and they were just cheating.
However, they obviously missed one issue. That is, in an industrialized society, it is much easier to make equipment that can grind wheat into powder than those like them who are still using water power for processing.
They just briefly referred to the millstones in the mill and developed a device more suitable for grinding these seeds into powder. For the mechanical designers of the Ice Kingdom, these things are very easy to design, and
The improvement of this food with simple processing is obvious.
After the food crisis in the Ice Kingdom was gradually lifted, they also began to gradually restore their industry. The original industrial system was highly dependent on the underwater environment. Relying on water could protect them from high temperatures. But that is no longer possible.
Although the protection of water still exists for them, but now even if they are covered with a layer of water and jump into the lava, the layer of water on their body will boil instantly. When the water boils, the protection for them will disappear.
There is no way for people to easily enter the magma and perform various processing.
Moreover, the viscosity of magma is greater than that of water, and the efficiency of lathe processing below is obviously reduced too much.
Now that the environment has become more suitable for human survival, factories can gradually be moved from underwater to above. The machine tools in the original factories can no longer be used. After all, most of them rely on various materials underwater.
It will be softened by the high temperature.
The cutter heads of those equipment are just like cutting plastic when placed on the ground. At most, they can be used to process equipment similar to wood. If these lathes are used to process steel, they will definitely break into pieces.
However, humans here have learned about materials to a considerable extent. Although the focus is not on keeping steel hard enough in a normal temperature environment, but in a high temperature environment, but now using the accumulated
With limited materials science knowledge, the machine tools used on the ground were built bit by bit. With this, it was only a matter of time before the industrial system was rebuilt.
And they found that after the temperature of water gradually became normal, although it could no longer play a vital role in industrial processing, it became the most important solvent in chemical reactions. This made
The chemical industry, which has been developing quite slowly, has developed rapidly after the times changed.
There is a reason why the chemical industry in this world develops very slowly. Because the water here needs to be turned into a liquid at an extremely high temperature, and this temperature has exceeded the temperature required for most reactions. If the temperature is lowered
Otherwise, the water will freeze and cannot be used as a solvent. Therefore, when they perform chemical production, the most commonly used solvent is alcohol. In addition, there are various other organic substances as solvents.
If the chemical industry started organically, you can imagine how bumpy the development process would be.
Now many problems caused by solvents have been solved, and there is no need to use organic solvents to carry out various reactions that should be performed in water.
So much so that the Ice Kingdom has greatly regressed in many aspects of technology, but has made significant progress in other aspects of technology.
The worlds that are in contact with each other are not only the ice world, but other worlds are also in contact with each other. Among them, the most unique way of contact is the soul world, or the world of reincarnation.
After discovering the space gate, the local residents in their world chose to be very cautious, because they themselves could not die casually, because they represented not only their own lives, but also the lives of those who lived in their dreams.
life.
After thinking about it for a while, they decided to send a small number of people to explore the other side of the space gate. The most important reason is that if too many people are sent, the computing power of the remaining people's brains may not be enough to maintain the dream space.
If it continues, the people inside will probably die suddenly on the spot because their computing power is not enough to maintain it.
They have had enough of reincarnation and are quite vigilant about it. They are not willing to see any chance of reincarnation happening next time, so they suppress any possible signs of conflict to ensure that under their rule,
Those without souls will not rebel in the dream world.
However, although they only sent out a few members, they were all the most elite members selected among them.
As for who is the most elite member, in the previous war against Merlin, too many heroes emerged. Among them are the types who have performed extremely well in reincarnations.
They do not necessarily have powerful magic in reality, but they have accumulated enough experience in reincarnation again and again, so that their characteristics can be preserved from generation to generation even if they are reincarnated. This kind of people generally
Commonly known as geniuses, the exploration members they send out are usually in groups of three or four, and the people in a group are good at different fields.
In terms of technological level and magic level, the people in the reincarnation world are not considered to be the top, but they are definitely not weak in terms of average level, especially the experiences in the fantasy world again and again, which makes each of them
Everyone is very knowledgeable and has strong adaptability when encountering unfamiliar environments.
Therefore, although the number of people sent out is small, each one is like a legendary adventurer. When encountering danger, he can always rely on his own intelligence to save the day, just like the protagonist of the story.
