Just when Huang Xuan was at a loss for this base in P10, the biomagnetic card started beating.
The speaker was Philip Camas. He said in a lowered tone: "Is it Mr. Huang? I am Philip Comas from Nanlu Star. I want to talk to you about the issue of mercenaries."
The language he used was also different from Lu Min's, but it could still be translated. However, Huang Xuan's focus was entirely on the control panel in front of him. Lorraine was charging it through the plane channel, and the consumption was astonishing. So Huang Xuan just said calmly: "I have authorized Lu Min to handle it."
Feili on Nanlu Star was flipping through the information at the same time. He had more things in his hands than Lu Min and others. It's a pity that there is still not much information about the glorious nobles in it. They are basically people from two worlds.
A true Glory Noble must be granted a title by the Space-Time Administration before being recognized. Due to some special reasons, many Glory Noble groups are underpopulated. They may have many vassals, but few relatives, and the inheritance of status and wealth is usually a matter between two people.
Of course, the so-called many are not absolute. There are always some huge glorious families that appear in people's field of vision completely as a family. Their titles are hereditary and replaceable. More often, when the family members among them Once you reach a certain level of authority, you will be internally awarded the title of Glorious Noble. Basically, no one will object to such a title.
Judging from the things at hand, a person with no more than 18 levels of authority cannot be a single glorious nobleman.
This is the most troublesome thing.
Feili said in a rather respectful voice: "Mr. Huang, we are very interested in the mercenaries you are selling, but in terms of price, your agent is not satisfactory."
Most of Huang Xuan's attention was focused on the beam of light in front of him, and he said nervously: "I have authorized Lu Min to negotiate. If there are no other problems, it is not convenient to replace the agent." Obviously, he was not focused on this business. interest of.
To Feili, this seemed to mean that he was not qualified. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Mr. Huang, as a glorious nobleman, can you tell me your family name and emblem?"
This was naturally a tone of distrust. As a level 5 traveler, Fili was not afraid of Rong Guang, who did not have a title yet.
Huang Xuan was only moved in his heart. This was the second time he heard this term. He smiled reluctantly, and Huang Xuan turned his head and said: "It seems that I am not used to discussing such serious issues now. Well, your price is What?"
There was a slight mistake, but in Feili's view, the other party took a step back. If he really answered the family name, it would be equivalent to confirming the misunderstanding.
Looking back at the price on the trading floor that had risen to 950 million energy circles, Feili gritted his teeth and said: "1.1 billion energy circles."
Huang Xuan also dialed Lu Min's magnetic card at this time. After asking a few simple questions, he said: "According to the rising price trend in the trading floor, this price seems a bit low."
Just as Feili was about to speak, the biomagnetic card on the table received strong interference, and the whole office lit up.
Several heavily armed men rushed in immediately, holding high-energy physical destroyers, and quickly occupied the four corners of the room.
Feili waved his hand in confusion and said, "It's okay." He then focused on the biomagnetic card.
The strong energy fluctuation has destroyed the energy part of this magnetic card. He reached out and took out another magnetic card, thought for a moment, and asked the practitioner next to him: "Is any Rongguang family expanding recently?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"Adult ceremony?" Fili sighed and said, "No wonder he is so impatient, as if he is confirming the ownership of that plane."
As he spoke, he smiled broadly and said, "That boy from the Lu family is really lucky."
"It's quite enviable." The practitioner next to him also laughed.
…
Huang Xuan's eyes were filled with orange and yellow, with bits and pieces of green filling it, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. The light of energy particles should have been more intense, but at this time, it was completely blocked.
After taking two steps in the orange, Huang Xuan tentatively asked: "Lorraine?"
It took a long time before there was an answer. Lorraine's voice was low and he said: "It consumes a lot of energy."
"What's going on now?" Hearing Lorraine's voice, Huang Xuan felt relieved.
Suddenly, a somewhat heavy voice said: "Your authority complies with the level 16 authority key, and P001 forward base V90 is reporting to you."
It was obvious that although the tone was also smooth, this was definitely not Lorraine.
Before he could say anything, the voice said again: "I still need more energy."
"Furnas Company is about to collapse. There is no more energy." It was Lorraine who spoke. To Huang Xuan's ears, the same plain voice sounded more cordial to Lorraine.
Huang Xuan stood straight in the middle of the control room, not knowing what to say.
The room shone with all kinds of star-like energy particles, and the heavy voice said: "You can call me Nick, I belong to the Starry Sky V9 team's participating base, a level 18 base, the equipment integrity is 65%, and the energy is sufficient. .8%… "
Nick's voice gradually became lighter, but Lorraine complained: "Huang Xuan, there is a power outage in Sao Paulo."
"I understand." Huang Xuan finally sighed and said, "So, what's the situation now?"
"You own this base." Lorraine replied with dissatisfaction: "But all the energy needs to be replenished by me, through plane channels. Now, both bases are in a state of energy shortage."
"And Furnas collapsed?"
"Same with St. Paul."
It seems that I have been very busy since I returned. Huang Xuan looked around, decided to show off his heroism, and said loudly: "Nick, tell me what are you good for? Don't waste my money."
The higher-level Nick is obviously more adaptable to Huang Xuan's way of speaking. He will even smile and say: "Hello, key holder, base V90 is the participating base of Starry Sky V9 Team. It has the standard capabilities and participating base of Starry Sky Team. Permissions…”
It was the same as not saying it. Huang Xuan stood there frustrated, covering his head and said: "Lorraine, what next."
"It's just a level 18 base." Lorraine is good at simplifying complex and simple things. He said simply: "You are the authority owner of this new base and the only authority owner at present, so For now, you have these two bases, and how you use them is up to you.”
Huang Xuan shrugged and said, "Then another person with a level 15 authority key can take this base back?"
"Only standard P-plane permission keys are acceptable, because we are all P-plane time and space bases. In addition, new permission holders need you to confirm their permissions, but those with permissions above level 16 can directly Obtain the second authority." Lorraine said, "The safest way is to replenish our energy."
The standard P plane is P001 in the Great Plane Era. It is said to be a dead plane (Note 1).
Before Huang Xuan could ask again, Philip Comas's new magnetic card was beating again and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Huang Xuan."
Huang Xuan was startled by the sound of congratulations. He pressed the call button, squirmed his throat, and said to Lorraine or Nick: "How did he know that I got a base."
"Connecting a new base into the plane channel will of course cause space-time oscillations. You were in a connected state just now."
"Then they also know that there is a new plane base here?"
"certainly."
Lorraine's answer only deepened Huang Xuan's scruples, but he didn't have much leverage anymore, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
Huang Xuan stopped talking. At this time, Nick asked Lorraine: "According to our authority, I should have the right to distribute energy."
"These energy sources are at P11..."
The two base guardians quarreled among themselves, and Fili's call came from the biomagnetic card again. Huang Xuan rubbed his somewhat confused head and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Feili smiled and said in a nasal voice: "We have a new decision. I wonder if you are interested in participating in R001 Base No. 3?"
Huang Xuan did not answer easily, but said honestly: "I am not familiar with the R plane. If possible, I need to refer to other people's opinions."
In negotiations, using secrets known to everyone to show weakness is one of the best strategies. This will make the other party appear to be giving in and lower their psychological expectations.
Huang Xuan pressed the call button again and answered Lu Min.
The little nobleman in Nanluxing was waiting so anxiously that he couldn't taste the wine in the cup.
Fobi looked at him funny, sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, while Shi Yu looked out the window expressionlessly.
Huang Xuan repeated Feili's original words, and then said: "I originally gave you full responsibility, but Mr. Feili seems to want to talk to me personally, and I hope you can give me some appropriate advisers. Of course , our previous agreement remains unchanged.”
That means the commission has not changed. If it were before Huang Xuan told him Philip Conmas's decision, Lu Min would have praised the generosity of the glorious nobles in his heart. But now, Lu Min only had time to smash his tongue on the ground. Pull it up.
The third base of R001 is a level 1 base, which is also a high-level base in the entire R series. Its special status is that it is a purely private base, and because there are many controlling parties, it is open to everyone.
Of course, opening up will reduce its military value, but in terms of economy, opening up means being able to circle (Neng Dun will definitely stay in this plane, which is determined by the base itself). Base No. 3 is definitely a cornucopia of few , participating in this base is equivalent to buying a long-term meal ticket.
"If the market price is used, of course there is no problem." Time was tight, and Lu Min couldn't explain it. He moved both hands to call up the market price on the trading floor, and compared it: "Mr. Huang, if it is 100 million, or % of the equity of Base No. 3, then there is no problem. In fact, if it is equity, there is no problem if it is slightly less. "Equity does not equal control. The control of the plane base must belong to the highest authority of the base. By.
Huang Xuan responded, but did not immediately answer Fei Li's conditions. From this series of conversations, he could roughly guess some aspects of the R plane. This is a free financial plane, similar to what Lorraine described. The system of the Great Plane Era is very similar, and this is what he is familiar with.
Therefore, Huang Xuan laughed softly and did not speak about Feili's question. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "What are those mercenaries doing now?" Bai Qi should have left at 0 hours ago standard time. , but I don’t know if he will adapt when he arrives on a planet whose technology is tens of thousands of years ahead of his own country.
"It should be universal education before training." Feili also tried his best to relax the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Even if you volunteer to become a mercenary, you will probably be persuaded. For example, if the mercenary authority can be raised to level 0, you can become an independent mercenary." The mercenaries, even the space-time warriors, must always be happy to work.”
Huang Xuan did not expect the so-called mercenaries to be treated like this. He concealed his smile and said: "Mr. Feili, among the mercenaries this time, there is a general named Bai Qi. Have you noticed?"
"Oh? Let me see." Feili said with a heavy nasal voice: "Is he the leader of this ancient mercenary?"
"That's right." Huang Xuan said, as if discussing the derived value of a commodity: "Although he may not be familiar with modern warfare, he is a genius general, and genius generals are geniuses in any era."
"If that's the case, it's really exciting."
"Indeed." Huang Xuan said in a praising tone: "So back to the issue of equity participation, speaking of it, it is a very good proposal. I personally think that if it is Yineng Circle, plus .5% of the equity participation. , there will be no problem.”
Feili chuckled and said: "400,000 ancient mercenaries, .5% of the equity participation is too much."
"If there are really only 400,000 mercenaries, in fact, if they are not an organic whole, they are worthless at all." Huang Xuan said in a tight tone: "A genius general and soldiers who trust him, Mr. Feili, In Yi Neng Circle, the .5% equity participation is worth the money.”
Philip Comas was silent for a while, and finally laughed again.
It has to be said that in the R plane, excellent business operators are at the high end of the plane, but it is the travelers who have the most resources, just like Philip Conmas himself. Among these travelers, There are always only a few people who are familiar with business rules - from ancient times to the next one million years, the essence of business rules will not change: to increase relative productivity and obtain profits.
"As you wish." Feili didn't really care about Yi Neng Circle. If he could make friends with a glorious nobleman, or make friends with a glorious nobleman through him, it would be good.
Huang Xuan smiled and put away the biomagnetic card. This is a template product with a very simple design. If necessary, many required functions can be added. In his opinion, it is already very convenient. He clicked on Lu Min's name and said: "Mr. Lu, I have already negotiated with Mr. Conmas about Yineng Circle and .5% of the equity of No. 3 Base."
He didn't know the value of the money and equity at all, just like the people of the Qing Dynasty couldn't understand how much one million US dollars was. But as a son of a noble family, Huang Xuan knew the role of pre-investment.
Lu Min, who was waiting in Fobi's small room, stood up with a strange expression and murmured: "Okay, I will complete the subsequent procedures for you."
He said and sent a magnetic card to Huang Xuan through the small plane channel in the trading hall, saying: "This is your name card in R001. As long as you confirm the transaction and it is connected to the R plane, It can be used normally. Well, you need to confirm it now.”
This was a dark magnetic card with two lines of characters written on it that Huang Xuan didn't recognize. He did it and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you. Apart from this matter, I also want to trouble you." Give it a try."
"Please tell me." Lu Min's tone became more and more respectful. The people who can take food from the Kangmas family are not just the Rongguang family. In fact, as long as they are the Rongguang family, it is enough.
"What is the energy production equipment commonly used in the R plane? I need one." At this time, there is no point in being secretive.
"Usually there are molecular separators and material annihilators. The former is to cut off the bonds between molecules or atoms to obtain energy, while the latter is to directly break up the basic form of matter and annihilate it entirely into energy. Both are expensive and useful. Low, but the more demanding the requirements, the lower the price.”
"Then help me buy an instrument with 150 million energy circles. Is it enough?"
Lu Min swallowed, imagined a 150 million energy circle in his mind, and said: "Of course it is enough, but if you want to purchase a material annihilation device in the R plane, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?"
"The raw material of the material annihilation device is unstable atoms." Lorraine used the translation of unstable atoms instead of radioactive atoms, which deceived Huang Xuan. Fortunately, Lu Min continued to explain: "Any C-14, P-, There are no problems with H- and O-18, but because the material annihilation device consumes a lot of energy, it will seriously change the environment of a region. Therefore, the R-plane Space-Time Management Branch stipulates that only advanced travelers can directly Buy."
Huang Xuan also knew that the so-called advanced travelers were Level 6 travelers. According to Lorraine, he would not want to reach such a level within 100 standard years.
"What about the molecular separator?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang." Lu Min had already walked out of Fobi's room and said as he walked: "Maybe you can buy it directly through your family in some remote planes. In those areas, the Space and Time Administration has very little power."
Huang Xuan originally wanted to ask something more, but after thinking about it, he still had no words. Too many words could easily arouse suspicion. Moreover, he had already discovered that his identity seemed to have been misunderstood.
And this misunderstanding is beneficial. If this is the case, then it is better not to let the correct answer appear.
Huang Xuan smiled regretfully and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you."
After closing the biomagnetic card, Huang Xuan asked in confusion: "Don't these C-14 contents be very small? And isn't Neng Dun said to be only related to the development status of humans (the main organism)?"
"That's true, but the material annihilation device will cycle to produce unstable atoms. C-14 is produced by cosmic rays bombarding N-14, so as long as there is enough energy reserve, it will be produced continuously." The speaker was Nick, He explained in detail: "Use part of the energy to bombard stable atoms, artificially process them into unstable atoms, and then continue bombarding them to completely destroy them into energy. This process requires a large amount of energy circulation. In the initial stage of operation, its output The efficiency is relatively low. However, once it is in normal operation, it will consume a large amount of material very quickly, so it is a very dangerous device, and it is also a controlled item in the era of big planes."
Controlled products mean don't even think about getting one. Huang Xuan looked at the messy control room around him and asked: "So Nick, what should I do with your energy? I won't send it to you from P11."
The energy loss through the plane passage is about 90%. The energy earned by Furnas Company is just enough for Lorraine to use. If it is to transport energy, the level 18 base cannot supply it.
"I can directly consume energy materials." Nick replied: "If the energy materials can be transported to the vicinity of the base, or the energy of the base is moved enough, the problem can be solved."
"How many?"
It was Lorraine who answered: "At least one billion kilowatt hours of electricity."
Huang Xuan rubbed his eyes, and he knew it was not that simple. The base moved in Lorraine back then was only tens of millions of kilowatt-hours, and now it has increased so much. It seems that the level 18 base is not a good thing. If not, then No traveler would stay here.
000 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, if transportation consumption is included, it is worth 15 billion yuan of electricity. Even if it is produced by oneself, it cannot be much cheaper. He curled his lips and said, "How about using solar energy first? I'll think about it again. Maybe I can dig a coal mine for you here or something like that."
"That's fine." Nick said in a brisk voice: "I have stored some energy over the years. If it is used to clean up and restore the state of the base now, it will take about a quarter of a standard year, and then the energy materials can be used directly. ”
Since the base itself is connected to the plane channel, time is also independent.
"I know." Huang Xuan pinched his hair worriedly. Having two plane bases is of course a good thing. As far as he can think of now, at least P10 will be his back garden from now on. He can come and leave whenever he wants. , when enough energy is saved, it will be no problem to change the base of P10 to another dimension. But now, this classmate Nick is paralyzed in bed, and he has to raise him for several months, but he can't afford the cost. .
He asked unwillingly: "Can't you just destroy some atoms or something by yourself?"
"High-level comprehensive base." The answer was very sad.
…
The next day.
Wang Lu was carried into the base by Dian Wei. Seeing such a post-modern thing, this general who had killed countless people was a little awe-inspiring.
Huang Xuan said coldly: "Wang Lu, do you want me to take you back to Zhao State, or do you want to go home alive?"
"Go home." Wang Lu answered almost without thinking. Although soldiers should not be afraid of death, it is inevitable.
"Nick." Huang Xuan called out and said, "Give him your voice to recognize." As he said that, he gave Wang Lu a piece of energy.
"Do I need to give him permission? As long as he obtains energy for the base, he can theoretically obtain permission." Nick's voice echoed over the control room, making Wang Hao confused.
"It's not necessary." Huang Xuan was not worried about Wang Lu. He patted this guy's face and said, "You will listen to him from now on, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Of course, as an obligation, if you have a very troublesome thing , you can ask him for help, but don’t disturb us at ordinary times, you know?”
Wang Hao nodded repeatedly. I don't even know how many people are talking to me.
…
The Zhao army that destroyed Bai Qi's army took advantage of the situation and regained Shangdang County. However, they encountered strong resistance in front of Hangu Pass. Here, the Qin army once resisted the five-nation coalition, but today, the exhausted Zhao army No more support from allies.
So, after several days of searching, Lord Pingyuan ordered the return journey.
This order was very welcome to the soldiers of the Zhao army who had been away from home for several years and had narrowly escaped death. Huang Xuan also returned here amidst the commotion.
Lord Pingyuan brought dozens of generals and subordinates down the ranks to greet him, and Huang Xuan also greeted everyone present with a cheerful face.
If he were in another plane, Huang Xuan, who was about to leave, would never waste his energy. But now speaking of it, after having two plane bases, theoretically, he can come back often, so the value of Pingyuan Jun and others is immediately highlighted.
Zhao Sheng also figured out Huang Xuan's taste. He held Huang Xuan's arm with one hand and whispered: "This time, we collected a total of 10,000 cattle and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep. The entire South Korea and The Qin territory east of Hangu has been raided by us. When you have time, go and take stock."
Huang Xuan nodded in agreement, calculating the food he had on him, and found that after exchanging these animals, he could still have some left, but he was unwilling to give it to Zhao Sheng. He was used to getting something for nothing, and subsequent transactions would only make the other party think more.
Mr. Pingyuan didn't know his little plan, but instead enthusiastically invited Huang Xuan to the celebration banquet. Although Xiao Huang was a little impatient, he still obediently contacted General Zhao Guozhong and enjoyed the warm hospitality of several singers. After two days of comfort, he had to prepare to go home. .
Not to mention Lu Min was stunned when he saw 100,000 livestock in Nanluxing. Lord Pingyuan was very reluctant to leave Huang Xuan, and even gave him the jade pendant on his waist, saying: "If Lord Huang comes to Zhao in the future, just come to me."
He spoke with deep affection. Whether it was a real combination of interests or true feelings, Huang Xuan shook hands with him gratefully and said honestly: "If Mr. Pingyuan is still here when I come next time, I will I’ll definitely come to you.”
The next time he appears will be at Nick's base. Zhao Sheng should already be in Handan by then. Who knows if he will go there again.
But to Mr. Pingyuan, these words were truly fairy-tale. He immediately held Huang Xuan's hand in admiration and said, "I'm sure."
Note 1: For the era of big planes, bases belong to the plane regime. Therefore, when managing these bases, permission keys are the main way to confirm permissions. However, after the shock of time and space, almost all the regimes in all planes were overturned. The base belonged to individuals, and the authority key became the proof of the first authority.
The authority key is equivalent to the Tiger Talisman of the Warring States Period, and its quantity is of course rare. The bases where Lorraine and Nick are located are both forward bases of the P plane, so they both need the permission keys of the P plane to confirm. Once confirmed, a more advanced permission key is required for confirmation. The current status is quite In the major planes where the space-time oscillation has just ended, the remaining plane bases are being divided up. The easiest way to prevent someone else from using a more advanced permission key is to ban them.
… (To be continued)
