Chapter 1030 Post-War Negotiations
Shang Kingdom's plan on the moon has already begun, and here in Xianyu, a new mission has already set off. This time, the goal of the mission is Haozhou, and it is to discuss the division of interests after the war with the four major sects, the Dragon Tooth Empire, and a large number of other participants.
Of course, the five-element spirit world is still fighting back, but everyone knows that the five-element spirit world is no longer a climate.
Shang Guo’s air-space aircraft carrier heading to Ziyang Shenting has begun to return. At the beginning, Jun Xian suddenly turned his face, detained Jian Wuyun and other fifteen masters of the Five Elements Spiritual World, and handed them over to Shang Guo. At the same time, Ziyang Shenting also took the opportunity to express: We and the Five Elements The spirit world has been completely severed, and when the covenant was signed, we didn't know that the five-element spirit world actually betrayed the fairyland.
For Junxian's remarks, the whole Shang Kingdom expressed contempt unanimously. However, Ziyang Shenting is too far away, and there are not a few people who have secretly or indirectly colluded with the Five Elements Spirit World. Shang Guo also sold some items to the Five Elements Spirit World, so the matter of Ziyang Shenting cannot be pursued.
Since Junxian was able to resolutely tear up the covenant without shame, Shang would no longer pursue it.
However, Jun Xian made an inch of progress, and even asked Shang Guo for help, and the one who helped was the "seal of the ancient evil way". Regarding this matter, Li Xian and the others did not reject it outright, but had to consider it.
The ancient evil seal, this seal that appeared suddenly, made Li Xian, Ling Zhifeng, Yan Ze'an and others have a strong sense of crisis. That sense of crisis belongs to the master's sense of crisis, which is very mysterious, but if it is closely related to himself, the master can indeed feel the crisis in the dark.
The last time the Five Elements Spirit World was opened, Li Xian had a similar feeling, but it was not the same. When the Five Elements Spirit World opened, what Li Xian felt was the entanglement of cause and effect. Because of Shang Guo's actions, the five-element spirit world appeared. This is a causal relationship, an inescapable relationship.
Therefore, if you want to end this causal relationship, you must completely defeat the five-element spirit world.
But this time, what Li Xian felt was a crisis, and it seemed that there was an inexplicable crisis that was attacking Shang Guo.
Li Xian talked about this kind of problem with the national teacher Ling Zhifeng, and Ling Zhifeng deduced it for a long time, and came to such a conclusion: "Could it be that the existence behind this ancient evil seal that appeared is particularly powerful? Or is this seal connected to a certain An attached world or something?
Because it is so powerful, even this fairyland may be the opponent's target. Therefore, the crisis felt by King Xian may be the crisis faced by the entire fairyland. "
Li Xianruo thought: "There is this possibility. This matter is too vague, so let's not talk about it. Recently, the country has developed rapidly, so we must sort out our luck. If you have any difficulties, you must speak up."
"Don't worry, there is no problem. Ye Kun has already led the relevant personnel to survey and map the current national destiny, including water veins, land veins, mountains and rivers, transportation, etc. It is estimated that this work will take about two years."
Li Xian smiled hesitantly: "Two years? Maybe more than that. It is estimated that in the next two years, the area of the Shang Kingdom will continue to expand. The specific extent of the expansion depends on technology."
"Then there is always a limit." Ling Zhi was busy with his own affairs without raising his limelight.
"The first-generation large-scale teleportation array has been basically completed and has entered the final testing stage. The theoretical transmission distance can reach a million kilometers. It's a pity that it can't cross the border yet, otherwise it will be fine to directly connect the moon and the fairyland."
Li Xian left after speaking, leaving Ling Zhifeng stunned. After Li Xian's figure disappeared, Ling Zhifeng sat down on the ground: "Mom, the teleportation array is about to come out. After this, don't be exhausted from work, and there is no chance to be lazy. No, you have to charge a few more apprentice."
As for Li Xian, after returning to Qingyun Valley, Li Xian participated in the test of the teleportation array. The latest teleportation array is completely different from the original teleportation array.
The ordinary teleportation array is a pair of disks, and the disks are made of the strongest spiritual materials. However, due to the hardness and scarcity of fairyland spiritual materials, the ordinary teleportation array is very small and can only be used to pass notes.
But the latest teleportation array in Shang Kingdom is different. The latest teleportation array is as high as ten meters in diameter, and the middle transmission channel is three meters long. The base of the teleportation array is not a complete one, but layers are superimposed like pieces of paper.
The teleportation array will generate huge stress during the start-up process, and the large-scale teleportation array is more demanding on materials, and there are almost no such materials in Xianyu. This is also one of the reasons for the decline of teleportation array technology. However, Shang Guo adopted a new method, that is, to create thousands of array bases and superimpose them, so that the pressure of the teleportation array can be evenly distributed to different array bases.
In fact, the teleportation array in front of me has at least 5,000 layers superimposed, and the thickness of each layer is only one millimeter. With some brackets, wires, fixing devices, etc., the overall thickness is as high as 8 meters; The coating left is very hard.
This is a miraculous object, ten meters square, eight meters thick, with a three-meter hollow in the middle. The unactivated teleportation array looks dusty and inconspicuous, like a rusty iron lump buried in the soil.
But the scientific researchers of Shangguo were full of excitement. The moment of miracle is about to begin. If there is a teleportation array, the development of Shang Kingdom will take a crucial step!
The teleportation array technology should be regarded as a sixth-level technology, and it is also the pinnacle level of the sixth-level technology. This is already one of the most peak technologies in the world.
There is a teleportation array here in Qingyun Valley, and there is another one in Qingcheng, 40,000 kilometers away, which was sent by an aerospace aircraft carrier.
The testing process of the teleportation array is kept secret throughout, and only when it matures will it be fully disclosed to the public and inspire people's hearts.
The scene was full of tick-tock sounds, there was communication with Qingcheng, and there was also the final inspection of the teleportation array.
In the tense waiting, time passed little by little, and one test after another passed. Finally, it's time to start. At this moment, even Li Xian felt short of breath. The significance of the teleportation array can no longer be described with words.
It is of immeasurable significance to civilization, to the country, to war, to people's livelihood, and to the newly established "business clan"!
Li Xian pressed the button himself, and the majestic liquid aura surged into the teleportation array, and the runes on the teleportation array lit up one by one, and a huge force flowed on the teleportation array, which was powerful enough to tear apart the space.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the middle of the teleportation array, which was a vortex of space. Under the pressure of enormous power, even the space was distorted, and finally... penetrated!
The principles of the large teleportation array and the small teleportation array are completely different.
The small teleportation array forms a space bubble, which wraps the items and moves to the other side; but the large teleportation array directly penetrates the space and strongly connects the two spaces. This technology benefited from the gift from Dongsheng Shenzhou Zihuan Shenting and some materials He Zhiguo obtained from Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Suddenly, a cracking sound sounded, the space suddenly fluctuated and twisted, and everyone was frightened. At this moment, the space seemed to be distorted, the surrounding gravity and light were all chaotic, and everyone's spiritual consciousness even lost its effect. But before everyone was shocked, the changes disappeared, and everything around them became calm.
Only... Only in the center of the teleportation array, there is a vortex, a vortex of space. The vortex is three meters in size, with a blank area of more than two meters in the middle. Li Xian looked over from the teleportation array, and what he saw was... Fan Zide! The past governor of Qingcheng and the current mayor of Qingcheng.
In reality, Li Xian and Fan Zide are 40,000 kilometers apart; but now, they can face each other. Li Xian visually observed that the teleportation array shortened the distance of 40,000 kilometers to about ten meters.
Fan Zide was so excited that he couldn't speak, his mouth trembled for a while, but he didn't utter a word. It was really, really shocking. Fan Zide never thought that he would be able to see the teleportation array in his lifetime, and it was manufactured by Shang Country. This thing has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and many people don't even have the word "teleportation array" in their hearts.
Li Xian was also excited. After a while, Tang Rong who was next to him impatiently pulled Li Xian aside: "King Xian, please give way. The final test has not yet been carried out, and the danger is unknown. There is still a final test below. .”
Li Xian stood aside and watched quietly. Everyone at the scene observed carefully and cautiously, not daring to speak out, for fear of disturbing scientific research.
The back of the teleportation array was peaceful, it seemed that there was nothing, and the people walked around without being affected at all.
Here, Tang Rong has already started transferring items.
The first is to throw it directly; after a while, the item is thrown back - the result shows that the distance of the teleportation array is about ten meters, and the item can be thrown directly.
Then place the item on the space vortex of the teleportation array. As a result, the items were swept away by the vortex of the teleportation array, and rushed out from the other end at the speed of bullets. It seems that the vortex of this teleportation array cannot be touched casually.
Then there is continuous transmission, everything is fine, and finally came to the final testing stage - bridging!
It is to build a bridge and directly cross the teleportation array; this also means that the teleportation array must be kept running at all times, the consumption of energy and the test of the teleportation array itself are the limit. But it is also necessary.
Once the Shang Kingdom establishes a transportation system with the teleportation array as the core, all the teleportation arrays must operate uninterrupted throughout the year.
The erection of the temporary bridge is very simple. The two ends are solidified with spells to form an approach bridge, and a 15-meter-long and 1.8-meter-diameter iron pipe is placed across the approach bridge—it can be regarded as a fully enclosed bridge, directly crossing the teleportation array. In the end, some domestic animals were driven up and walked to the opposite side.
Later, robots and autonomous vehicles joined in. A continuous stream of small tests has begun.
Li Xian looked interesting from the side, but he also knew that the next few months of tests would be a test of the stability of the teleportation array. Finally, there will be magic attacks and so on.
From the production to the scrapping of a teleportation array, it will consume one billion taels of gold-these are still calculated according to the internal price of the merchant country. If calculated according to the market price, it will be immeasurable. Just talking about the liquid aura consumed every day is an astronomical figure.
Of course, when it is officially in operation, each teleportation array will be equipped with a nuclear island.
…………
When the teleportation array technology entered the final testing stage in Shangguo, Shangguo's mission finally arrived at the negotiating place in Haozhou, a city near the exit of the Five Elements Spirit World but not affected by the skyfire bomb. The city that has not suffered any damage - Nankang City.
The current Nankang City is still a very ordinary city, but it may not be long before it will be known to the world. Next, in the war against the Five Elements Spirit World, all those involved in the battle will start negotiations here.
It can be said that this kind of negotiation has existed since ancient times, but what really pushed this kind of negotiation to the current form is the influence of the Shang Dynasty. Everyone sits down at the negotiating table, discusses the division of interests together, and forms a fixed treaty or even an oath.
Today, the main representatives who appeared on the stage were the heads of the four sects, Duan Longquan, the prime minister of the Dragon Tooth Empire, and Yuan Yong, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Shang Kingdom.
There are many secondary representatives, as long as they have a hand in the war, they all come. Including Ningguo. During the war, Ningguo sent 100,000 elites through Shangguo; although there were considerations for military training, they were 100,000 elites after all, and they were not small forces. Ningguo's contribution to this war can be said to be second only to the Dragon Tooth Empire.
Among the secondary representatives, Ningguo representative stood at the front. The representatives of Ningguo are Zhong Shuling and Ma Rongde, who can be said to be the elders of the two dynasties. They are not only great Confucianists themselves, but also have a deep understanding of emerging capitalism, industry and commerce, and can implement relevant measures. They are also capable people.
And before coming to Haozhou, Ma Rongde was told by Ning Xiaolan that he must stand on the front line of Shang Kingdom! The powerful power shown by the Shang Kingdom made all countries panic, and Ning Xiaolan was no exception.
Seeing that more than a month has passed, and there are about 20 days left, the first wave of sky fire bombs will fall into the five elements spirit world, which makes the atmosphere of the negotiation very dignified.
Over the past month or so, tens of billions of people have rushed out of the Five Elements Spirit World one after another, but all the population of the Five Elements Spirit World has been killed. Shang Guo dropped three more Skyfire bombs, with an attitude of massacre.
Such a tragic massacre made the rest of the Five Elements Spirit Realm afraid to leave. They held on to their last hope - what if the Shang country didn't have those sky fire bombs at all?
Under such circumstances, although the negotiation has already started, it is only a preliminary intention, without any in-depth issues.
The most serious dispute right now is probably the issue of ranking in the negotiation.
At the beginning, the four major sects ranked Shang Guo behind the four major sects without authorization; but after Yuan Yong came, he strongly suppressed the four major sects—Shang Guo’s contribution is the greatest, and we want to be the first; The Great Sect ranks second, followed by the Dragon Tooth Empire and the Ning Kingdom; the remaining countries, sects, and families participating in the war are ranked according to their contributions.
Of course, the four major sects did not do it, and joined forces to wrestle with Shang Guo; now the four major sects also feel that they have a bit of confidence and their backs are stiffening.
Over the past few years, the four major sects have each had their own strong industrial power. Low-purity liquid aura can be produced in large quantities, the first generation of supersonic aircraft can be produced, and 'cruise missiles' refitted from aircraft can also be produced. .
In addition, there are many masters from the four major sects, so they feel that their backs are stiff, and they want to wrestle with Shang Guo.
Faced with such a situation, Yuan Yong was not in a hurry, and negotiated a little bit, and dawdled a little bit; in fact, everyone was waiting for the moment when the Five Elements Spirit World was attacked.
Time passed day by day, during which Yuan Yong received Yan Ze'an's information, top secret information - the teleportation array entered the final testing stage, the theoretical transmission distance of the first generation of teleportation array was as high as one million kilometers, and it could be directly connected from Shangguo to Haozhou Central: For the time being, the teleportation array needs to be kept secret. If all goes well, it will be truly revealed at the end of this year.
Yan Ze'an only had such a message, and there was no need to explain too much. Yan Ze'an believed that Yuan Yong knew how to use the news.
After Yuan Yong received the news, his eyes were surprised at first, but then he showed a confident smile. Perhaps, some negotiations can proceed.
In the next few days, Yuan Yong became more and more powerful, and the leaders of the four major sects could not breathe. Representatives of the Dragon Tooth Empire and Ning Kingdom stood firmly behind the Shang Kingdom; there were also many large and small countries, sects, families, etc., who also firmly supported the Shang Kingdom-it should be based on credit, not according to the four major sects. Said, according to the scale of troops.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Yong continued to exert his strength, and the entire negotiation scene was divided into two factions:
One faction, led by the four major sects, is mainly the old beneficiaries of Haozhou. They think that the division of interests should be negotiated according to the scale of troops dispatched and the amount of supporting materials. (The main reason is that they know that if the benefits are divided according to the contribution, Shang Guo will take more than 80% of it, which is not allowed!)
One faction is led by the Shang Kingdom, the Dragon Tooth Empire and the Ning Kingdom, and other new interest groups. Everyone believes that interests should be divided according to their contribution to the war and effective lethality.
The two sides hold their own views and do not relax, seeing that this negotiation is about to escalate into a new war.
Finally, Yuan Yong took the lead to make a change: "Continuing to quarrel like this is not the answer, we are here to solve the problem! How about we do this, negotiating one by one, and analyzing specific things in detail."
Everyone turned off the fire immediately and agreed with Yuan Yong's proposal; if they really wanted to continue in the original state, they might have to roll up their sleeves.
Yuan Yong spoke again: "We Shang Kingdom and Dragon Tooth Empire are going to draw up a major artery plan to build a major artery from the Dragon Tooth Empire to the exit of the Five Elements Spirit World to transport resources and equipment.
The aorta will be divided into two layers, the upper layer is the road, and the lower layer is the railway, and the location of the high-speed railway is reserved.
The main artery is estimated to be 260,000 kilometers long, 80% of the route will pass through the territory of the Yunxiao Sect, and 20% will pass through the territory of the Chixia Sect. A total of 110 countries need to pass through.
If completed, this main artery will bring huge economic and political benefits to Haozhou, greatly promote the exchanges and development of countries along the route, and promote the progress of the four major sects. Being able to communicate and sort out Haozhou's luck makes Haozhou more pleasant.
This main artery, according to Shang Guo's calculations, requires a total of about 15 billion taels of gold.
According to Shang Guo, whoever spends the money benefits. That is to say, if the 15 billion taels of gold are completely distributed by Shang Guo, Shang Guo will eventually own 100% of the main artery. Of course, this is theoretical. "
As soon as Yuan Yong finished speaking, Ningguo's Zhongshu ordered Ma Rongde to speak urgently: "I, Ningguo, invested 600 million taels of gold and subscribed for 4% of the shares!"
The economic system of the Shang Dynasty has long been accepted by everyone. Ma Rongde knew how to "cooperate" immediately. Of course, it's not just cooperation. If there is such a major artery, it will be much more convenient for Ningguo. Materials can be transported to the Dragon Tooth Empire through the Banshan Strait, and then to the central part of Haozhou through the main artery.
Before Ma Rongde's voice fell, Duan Longquan, Prime Minister of the Dragon Tooth Empire, also said: "The Dragon Tooth Empire invested 1.5 billion taels of gold, but we only subscribed for 9% of the shares!"
In this war, the Dragon Tooth Empire had done a good job of scratching the ground, and they had a lot of gold in their hands.
However, the Dragon Tooth Empire is very clever, pretending to be a younger brother in front of Shang Guo, with 1.5 billion taels of gold, it is said that it can subscribe for 10% of the shares, but the Dragon Tooth Empire only subscribes for 9% of the shares.
The Shang Kingdom sang together, and the four major sects couldn't sit still.
Master Xuanfeng, the head teacher of the Yunxiao Sect, said coolly: "This main artery probably passes through our range. For this alone, no matter who builds the main artery, for this alone, the Yunxiao Sect must control... 30% of the shares!"
Master Xuanfeng hesitated for a while before saying the number '30%'.
The head teacher of Chixia sect immediately said: "Can I see the route plan?"
Yuan Yong took out a map, on which the location of the main artery was marked.
After taking the map and only glanced at it, the head teacher of Chixia Sect immediately said: "This planning map passes through important places of Chixia Sect. Therefore, although only 20% of the main artery passes through the scope of Chixia Sect, we have to control 10% of the shares !"
Yuan Yong frowned—I said, your map is upside down! Have you actually looked at the map?
But there is no need for Yuan Yong to say, someone on Yuan Yong's side "kindly" reminded: "Senior Lie Yang, your map is reversed."
Master Lie Yang smiled faintly: "I know, I was just a little impatient just now."
You have a thick skin! Yuan Yong is already speechless, if you have reached this state of being a human being, you can already ascend!
However, the intense discussion has only just begun. Next to it, Master Mingjue, the head teacher of Tianyi Sect, said solemnly: "Our Tianyi Sect contributed 1 billion taels of gold, but we have to buy 10% of the shares.
For the construction of the main artery, we will provide additional manpower, including experts and so on. "
Secret meaning: Be careful of master damage. The aorta is very fragile! I'm blackmailing, I'm blackmailing, why not!
The Houtu sect also said: "We invested 1 billion taels and occupied 10% of the shares."
Realist Xuanfeng saw this, and said: "We will invest 500 million taels, let's take another 5% of the shares, and give the rest of the shares to others."
Chixia Sect immediately also 'supplemented' 500 million taels. Divide up 5% of the shares.
So far, Yunxiao Sect has divided up 35%, Chixia Sect has divided up 15%, Tianyi Sect and Houtu Sect have 10% each, which is 70% of the shares.
Obviously, such a distribution is very unreasonable, and this is nothing more than a sky-high asking price.
