Chapter 231: An Eye-Opening Outrageous Auction(1/2)
Li Qing, who was well prepared, immediately entered a price and pressed the button after hearing the starting price. The auctioneer's calm and clear voice immediately came from outside:
"Guest No. 155 bids 60 trillion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Um?"
At the same time, more than a hundred hands of different shapes in the room paused, and almost at the same time they all opened their room windows and looked at Room 155.
Looking at countless prying eyes, Li Qing closed the window directly.
Anyway, if nothing else, I have to buy this first, it is also one of his must-buy items.
But one thing to say is that the price is really outrageous. Such a high price is not the highlight.
According to the prices seen on those merchant websites before, in fact, the normal price of this division-level fleet is only about 34 trillion cubic meters of refined steel. He directly doubled the price, dispelling many people's ideas on the spot.
But there are also many loyal ones who continue to bid, but each bid is not too much, one trillion to one trillion.
Li Qing didn't get used to them, he just increased the price by ten trillion cubic meters at a time, and every time he raised the price, he silenced a lot of voices.
When he increased the price to 80 trillion cubic meters, only four people were still increasing the price.
When he increased the price to 90 trillion cubic meters, only one person was still raising the price.
When he increased the price to 100 trillion cubic meters in one go and said this was the last increase, no one bid again.
There must be someone here who is unwilling to pay the price intentionally, but this thing is so important to him that he has to buy it even if it costs three times more.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is not short of minerals. If there is no unlimited minerals, he will definitely not be so willing.
Thirty seconds later, the auctioneer simply announced that he had purchased the division-level fleet.
"Oh yeah!"
Li Qing waved his hands excitedly, eager to receive it immediately.
The pre-auction information states that this division-level fleet has already been transported to this galaxy, and the auction has officially verified that all warships have no problems. They are currently being stored by the auction house and can be received after the auction is over.
It is worth mentioning that this division-level fleet is just a fleet and does not include crew members. The original crew members have already evacuated after coming here, so he must equip himself with enough crew members before he can leave.
003 The neutral galaxy has a storage business. If there is no crew for the time being, you can store the fleet here first and then leave when it is ready.
"Very good, I took five pictures."
Li Qing rubbed his chin and sat down again.
However, he didn't sit there for long. When he heard the auctioneer say that the regular lot No. 20 was a full 5,000 civilization points, he stood up again.
In the market of the United Empire of Mankind, the price of one civilization point is 10 trillion, and 5,000 points is 50,000 trillion, which is 5 trillion, 5 trillion.
If converted into refined steel, that would be 128 trillion cubic meters of refined steel.
The starting price is 150 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, with each price increase not less than 1 trillion.
Li Qing made the first bid without hesitation, 160 trillion.
Don't dare to go too far, it's too expensive.
Although there is still a lot of refinement left, I don’t dare to make random ones. I have to save some to see what will be in the finale later. There are four pieces in the finale, and I have to get one of them no matter what.
However, although he said not to be too fierce, he did not hesitate every time he made a bid. As long as someone made a bid, he would bid a full ten, and soon the price reached 220 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, leaving others speechless.
Already.
There wasn't much trouble, and since he was sure to win, no one was willing to fight with him to the end.
In the end, it took 230 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, equivalent to 89,700 trillion star dollars, or 8.97 trillion star dollars to win these 5,000 civilization points.
So far, he has taken photos of six lots.
The first one is the mother chip of a T-slot Doomsday Light weapon, which cost 800 billion cubic meters of refined steel.
The second item is an ancient relic-level box that took 300 billion cubic meters of steel to refine.
The third piece is a 108-level mysterious Rubik's Cube, which took 10 trillion cubic meters to refine steel.
The fourth item is a talent package with 2 gold names, 28 orange names, and 585 purple names. It took 6 trillion cubic meters to refine steel.
The fifth item is a standard division-level fleet equipped with all sixth-generation technology, including 2 Titan super flags and 2 super aircraft carriers, 15 dreadnoughts and 10 flagship aircraft carriers, 10,000 battleships, and 30,000 cruisers.
There are 50,000 destroyers, 200,000 frigates, and 100,000 logistics ships, and 100 trillion cubic meters of steel have been spent on refining steel.
The sixth item is a full 5,000 civilization points, and it took 230 trillion cubic meters to refine steel.
A total of 347.1 trillion cubic meters of refined steel was added up.
The refined steel he has on hand is worth a total of 78 trillion star dollars. Based on the market price of 390 star dollars per unit, there are a total of 2,000 trillion cubic meters of refined steel. 347.1 trillion cubic meters have been used, leaving 1,652.9 trillion cubic meters.
"I should be able to grab one!"
To be honest, he wasn't very confident because the prices of the last two items were really outrageous.
There had been so many auctions before, and he found that many of the twenty regular auction items had never been bid at all. They were either here to watch the excitement, or they were here for the finale.
Maybe there must be people watching the fun, but there must be people who are here for the finale, and those are the competitors.
The regular auction of twenty items ended. After waiting for about half an hour for everyone to rest or prepare, Li Qing received a final list from the auction house. When he saw the first final item, he was stunned.
Living.
I was really stunned.
As a cheater, it is really inappropriate to always be surprised and dazed, but these finales are indeed a bit outrageous.
The first finale: a complete dark matter reactor whose limits have been unlocked.
What does it mean?
Normally, if you want to master high-level energy and advance to a truly advanced civilization, you must completely master a kind of high-level energy. The most common and strongest one is dark matter.
But how to master this dark matter? Generally speaking, there are two methods.
One method is to study dark matter on your own out of thin air. The success rate can be imagined.
Another method is to obtain dark matter technology by reversely deriving the technology of advanced civilizations. The most effective one is the dark matter reactor.
However, the technological creations of advanced civilizations are basically encrypted, and the encryption method is very simple and directly linked to dark matter technology.
To put it simply, this encryption method is completely based on the mastery of dark matter technology, and it must be mastered to a certain extent before it can be unlocked.
So here’s the problem. If you don’t master dark matter technology, you can’t unlock it at all. But if you master dark matter technology, you don’t need to unlock it. This creates a paradox.
In other words, without that technology, it is almost impossible to obtain the mastery of this high-level energy through research on dark matter technology.
At this time, we can see the value of this dark matter reactor that has unlocked its limitations.
Of course, this does not mean that dark matter energy can definitely be mastered through this dark matter reactor. That is impossible, but there is only that chance.
And even if it succeeds, it will only be a preliminary discovery. Next, there will be a series of extraction and mastering, as well as the design of corresponding dark matter technology weapons, and then application, etc. During this period, every step will be a hurdle.
But no matter what, this thing provides you with a beginning, and this beginning alone is worthy of a finale position.
Therefore, the starting price of this thing is directly 1,000 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, and each increase in price will not be less than 10 trillion cubic meters.
Li Qing did not increase the price this time. Apart from the fact that the price was too expensive, the main reason was that this thing was of no use to him now.
It's too early for even the military leader to think about higher energy. If you think too much, your brain will easily become bad.
Next, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched others bid. Starting from 1000 trillion cubic meters of refined ore, the price increased to 100 trillion, then increased to 100 trillion, and soon reached 2000 trillion. He gave up completely.
At the same time, I don’t have any expectations for the next finale. The first finale is so expensive, and based on the calculation that the value becomes higher the further it goes, I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford any of the subsequent ones.
"What a mistake."
If I had known earlier, I would have collected more minerals and converted them, and collected 50 to 60 billion to come back.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. It was also his first time to participate. How could he know that this finale was so ridiculously expensive?
All I can say is that the focus is on participation, and we will wait until the next session.
This session... Strictly speaking, it was very profitable. I took six pictures at least, and no one had more pictures than him.
Then, he watched the price rise again from 2,000 trillion cubic meters, and soon reached 3,000 trillion cubic meters.
However, the enthusiasm has not diminished. Those who bid at the beginning are still bidding now, and none of them have withdrawn.
This made Li Qing lament that there are so many rich people in the world and they underestimate others.
But it’s normal to think about it. Although he can convert 2000 trillion cubic meters in one wave, as a military leader or even a star sea lord, how can he be less with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of accumulation?
If I didn't argue with him before, it was because the price had reached the end, or they didn't have much demand for those items.
Everything must be cost-effective. Unless it is necessary, it must be cost-effective. If it exceeds the normal price by too much, you must still give up.
You have money, but you can't be stupid.
Even before a super auction ended, Li Qing could already feel the huge gap between the Qinghe Li family, a small military leader who had only been established for three hundred years, and the senior military leaders or lords.
To be honest, he suspected that the current cash flow of the entire Qinghe Li Company might not be as large as his own.
Well, after buying the division fleet with level six technology, the Qinghe Li family may not be much stronger than him in terms of strength.
The premise is that they do not have any hidden force, such as secretly building some fleets with level six technology over hundreds of years.
This is very possible. Although those star sea lords rarely sell fleets with sixth-level technology, they still sell some occasionally, especially when many military leaders are attached to a certain lord. In exchange for the lord's obedience, they will definitely sell to their younger brothers.
To be continued...
