Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 370: Equivalent exchange, fair trade


   At this moment, a team of human diplomats are visiting the home of the Riley-the World Tree Forest!

  Yes, these so-called "world trees" are their hometown. These plants are too big. The largest tree is more than 30 meters in diameter and two hundred meters in height, and the top of the tree canopy , The diameter of the entire disc exceeds a thousand meters level, it is simply a miracle in life!

   He had never seen such a huge tree before, and he just stared at it for a while.

  Most of the Riley nobles lived in the uppermost tree hole, the middle and lower poor lived in the middle, and only the lowly slaves lived on the ground. A whole set of ecosystems centered on the "World Tree" is simply novel and interesting.

  Every creature here is good at jumping and sliding.

  The land at the bottom, due to lack of sunlight and humid air, has a large number of shade-loving plants. The slaves cultivated these shade-loving plants for a living, or went to more distant grasslands to grow food.

   Even if the World Tree dies and falls, its rate of decay is extremely slow, which again becomes a very good building material. Ordinary civilians, as long as they dig a hole in these giant logs, they can live in safety.

   It sounds like this kind of life is a bit like a fairy in a fantasy novel!

  All the reporters were busy happily, taking photos with "clicks", lamenting that this trip is worthwhile.

   It’s just that the appearance of the Riley is really not very good, but a bit like a large bat. Leather wings and eyes grow on both sides like birds. Due to low productivity, many Rileys still have their bodies exposed, and only some upper-class people have the habit of wearing clothes.

  All Rileys will crept frantically on the ground when they see humans. Yelling.

   was very embarrassed at the beginning, but it was useless to explain, and this team had no choice but to let it go.

   Feeling the wonderful culture of the Riley people and the grotesque religious rituals, this kind of travel is quite pleasant. Wang Junpeng saw that the surrounding reporters, writers, and painters were also amazed... Sometimes he was very happy to go to places behind humans to play.

   He knocked on the branches of these trees. The toughness was comparable to steel, especially the core part, which was extremely tough.

  "The hardest wood on earth is iron birch."

  "In the former Soviet Union, iron birch was used to make **** and bearings. It was used in speedboats, which shows its high hardness. In addition, iron birch has a magical characteristic. Because of its high density, the iron birch Once put in water, it will sink quickly. Even if it is soaked for a long time, its interior can still remain dry."

   "I don't know how hard these so-called world trees are compared to iron birch... The key is that it is still so big and grows fast, which is very advantageous. It is a material comparable to metal."

   Wang Junpeng saw that a part of the indigenous Riley people were processing the dead World Tree. The core of the tree was the toughest part and was widely used to make various cutting tools.

   He picked up a thumb-thick tree core and snapped it forcefully. It didn't happen. You know he is wearing power armor now!

   Then he broke it hard enough to bend it.

An expert around    said: "If there is no such natural material, the Riley people would still be living in the Stone Age. With these high-strength woods, they can basically replace metal, and they can also be used as weapons after polishing. "

  "It’s just that no matter how polished this material is, it’s impossible to polish it out. So in the eyes of the nobles, it looks a bit mediocre."

   Of course, human beings do not need to envy these natural materials so far. Human alloy technology and nano-materials have almost reached the upper bound of conventional materials, far stronger than these natural materials.

   But biologists still study this wonderful world tree. In their eyes, this plant is much more interesting than the Riley.

   At this moment, several Riley officials hurried over. As you can see from their costumes, their status is quite high.

  "Respected human messenger, please here. Our king is in front of you inviting you..."

   "Ok, no problem."

  Wang Junpeng walked while sorting out his thoughts.

  , after meeting the opposing king, he bowed slightly, not humble or arrogant.

  "Dear king, hello, we are a human civilization from afar, with peace and goodwill. We abide by the principles of equal and free transactions, everything can be bought, everything can be sold, as long as you can Pay the corresponding price..."

   "Human... messenger, I have a big worry. What is the price of destroying other countries?" The king said worriedly, "My messenger, I am thinking about other countries. , Will such a deal be proposed, will it destroy our country......"

   As expected, Wang Junpeng's eyes flickered...

  Worried?

   The king is obviously testing whether he can make such a request.

  "This **** civilization will propose these messy deals to satisfy its evil hopes."

   He couldn't help but doubt that he was a bit like a demon.

   just thought about it for a few seconds, and he responded: "We humans follow the principle of equivalent transactions. If you can afford the price, there is no problem with this transaction."

   Hearing his answer, all the high-ranking officials and nobles suddenly took a breath.

   Wang Junpeng continued: "Of course, for us, lives are equal. If you ask us to kill a nobleman in the country of Cathy, as a price, we will randomly select a nobleman in your country. Take his life away...oh~IndoMTL.com~ That is to be handed over to the devil. If you ask us to destroy half of the population of Kasien, as a price, we will randomly destroy half of your civilization."

  "We treat the country of Cassien in the same way."

   Just kidding, of course human beings did not come here for slaughter, or boring tricks such as helping one party win the war...

   So you guys don't think about it anymore!

  All the nobles are breathing fast, this price...Of course they can't afford it. Pick a nobleman at random and take his life away. Who knows if he will be picked?

   Listening to the other person’s tone, it’s definitely not going to heaven, but going to hell!

   Wang Junpeng continued: "We are a civilization that advocates peace. We came here mainly to understand the culture and history of your country, not to erase the lives of other people. Here, I have a list of deals , You can think about it carefully...These are all things we need, for example, one hundred different classics can replace a metal knife, one hundred slave lives, and a set of metal tableware can be replaced."

   "Whatever you can provide, we will give you what... This is the great reputation of human civilization. Whether it is primitive civilization, low-level civilization, or high-level civilization, everything is based on the principle of voluntariness and we will not force ."

  In this list, there are a large number of trading items, clearly marked with prices, and it is not deceptive.

   "Yes! We are all willing!" The king just glanced at the list twice, his eyes were about to come out!
