Chapter 265

The intelligent bronze robots indeed went out by boarding the mechanical transport warship; what's the problem with that?

Zhu Ge Chang Qing

Su Hao had already given orders regarding the transaction of the mechanical transport warship and the Energy Laser Gun, but the timing hadn't arrived yet, so the transaction of these items has not started.

We must wait until ordinary mechanical transports worldwide and high-tech products become unusable, then conduct the transaction of these items to maximize profit.

Now hearing Zhu Ge Chang Qing say this, Ling Xue'er suddenly realized that perhaps the curse Su Hao mentioned has already descended. All ordinary high-tech products in the world are thus unusable, or using them outside invites misfortune, which is effectively unusable.

But whether it's truly so, she must first confirm it.

First-Tier Supernatural Item

But she is no fool, nor a saint! She clearly understands that whether it's the mechanical transport warship or the Energy Laser Gun, they belong to Su Hao; she only has the permission to manage the transaction on his behalf.

Everything must be carried out according to Su Hao's demands; she cannot overstep her authority to make any decision.

So even if she leans toward Divine Summer, she must act within Su Hao's requirements.

Moreover, since it's a transaction, she can give Divine Summer some concessions within her authority, but she must maximize profit.

Zhu Ge Chang Qing heard Ling Xue'er's question, after a moment of silence he dismissed the idea of concealing it and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, on Sakura Island they carried out a large-scale missile bombardment, attacking a fourth-tier extraordinary monster, and in the process detonated a nuclear power plant, causing widespread destruction."

"This is because of that event, causing the evil god's power to descend, cursing all weapons worldwide so they can no longer be used normally."

"Even other high-tech products are cursed; once used outside the shelter, they invite misfortune, causing greater casualties."

"We can't even use cars and planes now, which brings great trouble to exploration."

"So I want to ask, do you have any spare functional warships? Could you trade us one or two?"

Zhu Ge Chang Qing concealed nothing about the unusability of high-tech products; this is something the high-ranking leaders of all factions basically already know, and there's no way to hide it.

If he were to conceal this now, it could indeed lower the transaction price.

But if Su Hao finds out about this in the future, his actions will surely provoke his displeasure, a cost Zhu Ge Chang Qing could never bear under any circumstances.

Forces that have some understanding of Su Hao all recognize his great value; as long as they maintain good relations with him, if they encounter any insurmountable danger in the future, they might even spend a certain cost to ask him to intervene and resolve some crisis.

Now that Zhu Ge Chang Qing sees Su Hao possessing a usable spaceship, he dares not offend him even more.

Even if admitting that the high-tech product cannot be used normally would put the Shenzha side at a disadvantage in the trade, he must still do so.

If Su Hao's spaceships can be traded, paying a higher cost to obtain them is still better than losing this trade channel.

Upon hearing Zhu Ge Chang Qing's answer, Ling Xue'er instantly showed an expression of realization, understanding that the trading opportunity had arrived; she nodded and said, "The spaceship you saw is called a mechanical troop transport spaceship, a supernatural item with a sturdy shell and an internal foldable space that can carry more personnel."

"Besides the spaceship, we also have armored vehicles equipped with weapon systems."

"We have factories that produce this spaceship and heavy armored vehicles; if Shenzha wants, we can manufacture a batch of First-Tier Supernatural Item spaceships and central armored vehicles for trade."

"Moreover, we also have energy weapons that ordinary people can use, with Supernatural Grade reaching First Rank; if Shenzha needs them, we can likewise take out a portion for trade."

Su Hao had already arranged these matters; Ling Xue'er did not need to ask for further instructions and immediately expressed her willingness to trade.

Little did she know that her words would deliver such a tremendous shock to Zhu Ge Chang Qing.

That spaceship is actually a supernatural item, and Su Hao's territory even has a building capable of manufacturing such spaceships.

Doesn't this mean that, with sufficient materials, Su Hao can produce these spaceships without limit? More importantly, according to Ling Xue'er, that building can not only manufacture such spaceships but also produce armored vehicles equipped with weapon systems!

Literally speaking, since it's called an armored vehicle, it must have decent defensive power; sitting inside it absolutely provides ample safety protection.

Moreover, this armored vehicle is equipped with a weapon system, which means it not only has decent defensive power but also possesses offensive means.

According to Ling Xue'er, both that spaceship and armored vehicle are First-Tier Supernatural Items, which implies that the weapon system mounted on the armored vehicle likely also possesses First-Tier Supernatural power.

Then, as long as there is sufficient energy, even an ordinary person driving such an armored vehicle might be capable of killing a First-Tier Supernatural monster, without needing to overly worry about their own safety.

Besides that, Ling Xue'er also said that Su Hao's territory has First-Tier Supernatural Grade energy weapons for sale, which ordinary people can also use.

Since ordinary people can use these things, it's even less of a problem for supernatural beings to use them.

If they could trade for a few armored vehicles and equip them with several energy weapons, Shenzha could rely on this equipment to forge an elite squad for carrying out more dangerous but higher-reward missions!

In this way, Shenzha's casualties and gains from exploration will both see a great increase.

Seize it!

No matter what, they must seize these things! But before he could come back from his reverie about the future, Ling Xue'er spoke again, saying something even more shocking to him.

"Considering that Shenzha is not overly wealthy either, we will temporarily not trade second-rank mechanical transports and second-rank energy weapons."

"According to Boss Su Hao's statement, first-rank vehicles and weapons, as long as they are not sent to overly dangerous places, are sufficient for Shenzha's current exploration and use."

"Once you all obtain more high-tier materials, we will then trade the second-rank energy weapons and mechanical transports to you."

Zhu Ge Chang Qing: ……

"I'm numb, I'm freaking numb! This means you can mass-produce even second-rank energy weapons and mechanical transports? These are second-rank supernatural items; finding even a few of them in exploration is worth celebrating."

"But you, on the other hand, can directly mass-produce them, and they are weapons and vehicles of extremely high value—how could the gap between us be so great……"

Ling Xue'er merely, following Su Hao's request, revealed the capability to manufacture second-rank vehicles and weapons, which caused Zhu Ge Chang Qing to begin doubting life.

If he were to find out that, in Su Hao's territory, with sufficient materials, even third-rank weapons and vehicles could be mass-produced, one could not imagine how rich his expression would become.

After a long silence, Zhu Ge Chang Qing took a deep breath to calm his excited feelings. No matter what, he must maintain good relations with Su Hao and keep a long-term trade relationship!

As of now, Su Hao is the strongest, with the deepest foundation and the most unfathomable potential among all survivors.

As long as they can maintain a long-term trade relationship with him, they can continuously obtain first- and second-rank mechanical transports and energy weapons.

With these things, Shenzha will have hope to establish a foothold in this new world, allowing more people to survive and even improving survivors' living conditions.

"That's correct; possessing first-rank mechanical transports and energy weapons is sufficient for Shenzha and indeed all survivors worldwide to cope with most troubles."

"Even if you are willing to trade second-rank mechanical transports and energy weapons, with the resources we currently have, we estimate we could only obtain a few……"

Zhu Ge Chang Qing gave a self-mocking smile, then his expression turned solemn as he asked in a low voice, "I don't know how you intend to trade these mechanical transports and energy weapons, and what the price will be."

"Just wait a moment, I'll send you the basic price conversion table."

Having said that, Ling Xue'er took paper and pen from the nearby table, wrote a full-page list, and sent a photo of it to Zhu Ge Chang Qing.

According to Su Hao's request, future trade with Shenzha will mainly be based on energy crystals and supernatural ore.

Supernatural ore is the primary material needed to manufacture mechanical transports.

Moreover, the price of the traded ore is several times higher than the manufacturing cost, which not only solves the raw material problem but also brings in a considerable profit.

If in the future there is a way to use the Synthesis Heart in the robot manufacturing device, energy weapon manufacturing device, and mechanical core manufacturing device, or to let Ling'er improve them.

Perhaps the materials produced will no longer be limited to the three extraordinary ores—black iron, bronze, and silver—so that other extraordinary ores can also be put to use.

However, whether the improvement will succeed, and whether other ores can be used as the main material afterward, Su Hao also lacks great confidence.

To avoid this situation, in the list Su Hao gave to Ling Xue'er, he designated the three extraordinary ores—black iron, bronze, and silver—as priority trade ores.

When trading these three ores, the price is relatively more favorable compared to other ores.

Energy crystals are the most scarce resource in Su Hao's territory, naturally also a priority trade material, and their trading price is the most favorable.

Only one thousand energy crystals are needed to trade for a First Rank energy weapon.

Three thousand energy crystals can be traded for a heavy armored vehicle without a weapon system.

Five thousand energy crystals can be traded for a First Rank mechanical transport ship.

Eight thousand energy crystals can be traded for a heavy armored vehicle equipped with a weapon system.

Furthermore, on that list there are also general descriptions of the mechanical transport ship, heavy armored vehicle, and energy weapon.

Looking at the content displayed on that list, Zhu Ge Chang Qing rubbed his eyes, and an expression of disbelief inevitably appeared on his face.

Although with such a price, Su Hao has already made a considerable profit.

However, for Zhu Ge Chang Qing, this price is really too favorable.

No matter how precious the extraordinary ore, if it cannot be utilized, in Zhu Ge Chang Qing's hands it is no different from an ordinary stone.

Using these ores to trade for mechanical vehicles and energy weapons that can greatly enhance one's combat power, even if the price were to rise by another fifty percent, he would still consider it extremely worthwhile.

The same applies to energy crystals—not everyone has as high a demand for them as Su Hao does.

Even on the God Summer side, there are many devices that require energy crystals.

However, the consumption of energy is not large; moreover, with continuous exploration of the new world and the mining of Nengyuan Shuijing Kuang, God Summer's various warehouses store plenty of energy crystals.

If the energy crystals temporarily unused in the warehouse can be utilized, trading for energy weapons, mechanical transport ships, and heavy armored vehicles would be an extremely worthwhile deal.

Most importantly, given God Summer's current power structure, they are fully capable of long-term acquisition of energy crystals and extraordinary ores.

That is, they can continuously obtain energy crystals and extraordinary ores, and trade them for higher-value energy weapons and extraordinary vehicles.

However, as a transaction, even if this price is extremely worthwhile, necessary haggling is still required.

If these extraordinary items could be purchased at a lower price, a substantial amount of cost could be saved.

However, Su Hao has no interest in haggling; the quote he gave Ling Xue'er is the final price.

If you can accept it, then proceed with the trade; if you cannot, then get lost.

Such a price, such good stuff—it's not that we must sell it to you; if you don't want it, there are plenty of others who do!

Ling Xue'er, as a member of the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group, did not have such a firm attitude toward Zhu Ge Chang Qing; she shook her head and said firmly, "Sorry, Boss Su Hao doesn't want to haggle, and the price he offered has already been given a 20% discount to God Summer; if you can't accept it, there's nothing I can do."

"My suggestion is, whenever you come to Boss Su Hao's territory, take a look at these things before making a decision."

"Whether it's extraordinary mechanical vehicles or energy weapons, they are stronger than you imagine!"

"... Alright, then I'll set off now; just without a helicopter for transport, I might need to wait until tomorrow evening to arrive."

Seeing Ling Xue'er's attitude so firm, Zhu Ge Chang Qing also dared not haggle further.

Moreover, this price is already within his acceptable range, so there's naturally no need to continue haggling, lest it provoke Su Hao's displeasure.

"Just send me your location, and I'll dispatch an intelligent bronze robot to pilot a mechanical transport ship to pick you up; you'll get to experience the effects of the mechanical transport ship."

Ling Xue'er shook her head, exchanged a few polite words, and then hung up the phone.

According to Su Hao, God Summer is a major client of theirs, so sending a dedicated aircraft for pick-up and drop-off is entirely reasonable.
