These ministers have learned the value of coal, and whenever they discover a new continent, they will organize manpower to mine coal.

However, they do not have machines, the efficiency of manpower is inefficient in mining coal, and the disaster in the New World is too dangerous, so they cannot mine too much energy every time.

If charcoal is used instead of coal, the cost is too high and it is difficult to sustain.

"Your Majesty, if we buy a lot of coal from the technological civilization, it is also a good choice."

"Their shelter is so big, they should have a lot of coal reserves..."

In their speculation, scientific and technological civilization should be mined by steam engines, and the efficiency is naturally much higher than that of manpower, so it is also necessary to have more coal reserves.

Even if it is not impossible to buy a more advanced steam engine directly in the Yunhai! (In fact, the Yunhai does not have a steam engine, only the steam engine wheels are the engines of large ships.)

"Your Majesty, the development of artillery has been progressing smoothly, but the barrel needs better steel, otherwise it is easy to have a risk of explosion... The amount of saltpeter is far from enough. Without saltpeter, a large number of shells cannot be made."

What they desire most at the moment is to create high-range artillery. They believe that as long as they have artillery, they will have sufficient guarantees in large-scale wars.

"Can we buy some real artillery cannons from the technological civilization? If it really doesn't work, it's okay to buy more high-quality steel. They should have high-quality steel."

Another person said, "Your Majesty, we can also buy the other party's medical treatment...Dragon..."

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything directly.

This is something that everyone knows and is most concerned about.

Suddenly, General Zhao Yi, who was standing in front, asked: "But what can we do to deal with each other? The other party... although it looks quite friendly, it is impossible to give it to you for nothing."

"They don't need our food either. They don't even express any interest."

"Science and technology civilization can never be short of food."

Faced with this problem, the old emperor fell silent.

The most famous thing about the Great Jin Empire is that it is good at seed and grain. As a result, Yunhai has more food than them, so naturally there is a lot of bargaining chips.

Of course, in addition to food, they naturally have good things, such as... the blood of the dragon and some strange beasts!

It's just...a question of whether you want to exchange or not.

As a descendant of the Dragon, many people are reluctant to accept selling their own kind.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiaolong just reported some information." Just as everyone was discussing it in a heated manner, a minister rushed over and bowed to the emperor and others.

As the descendant of the divine dragon, the dragon also has simple wisdom and the ability to seek profit and avoid harm.

When Lu Yiming and others were negotiating with General Zhao, this dragon quietly dived to the bottom of the sea to investigate the movements of the Yunhai, Kunlun Mountain and Hope.

Although it does not speak, it can also simply express its meaning through actions.

"What do you mean?" the old emperor hurriedly said.

"When Lord Jiaolong approached the other party's steel floating island, he felt several fatal crises! He even faintly felt the breath of an evil god! But these dangers were all restrained and there was no possibility of an outbreak. The people above did not seem to be affected by the evil god."

"Evil God?!"

"There are evil gods there too."

The Jin civilization did not believe in God. They only believed in their ancestors, but there were too many civilizations on the Yang River, who believed in sacrificing evil gods.

They couldn't help but be careful about this.

Many civilizations are like madmen. As long as they realize that you are weaker than them, they will go directly to war, plunder the population, and sacrifice to evil gods.

"Yes, but the evil god's aura is very weak, not quite the same as normal. Lord Jiaolong guessed... it might be suppressed! Or it was in an unknown state."

"Master Jiaolong thought the other party was very powerful, so he didn't explore it in detail... He glanced at it from a distance and left."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and suppressed the evil god. This information is really important!

Lord Shenlong once suppressed the evil gods and even killed the evil gods, but that was the heyday of the Shenlong.

Now the dragon is seriously injured, leaving only a few dragons.

Although Lord Jiaolong is strong, he cannot be compared with the Divine Dragon.

Therefore, this beast-taught minister means that if there is no conflict, try not to cause conflict.

On the Yunhai, even the evil gods directly suppressed it. If they didn’t move the dragon, they wouldn’t be able to fight. Even if they moved the half-dead dragon, they wouldn’t be able to beat the other party…

"What's more, the other party has artillery... cannons that can be fired within a distance of tens of kilometers. Although we only saw dozens of artillery, as a technological civilization, there should be these things... hundreds or thousands of artillery cannons, all are possible. Alas!"

The senior leaders of the Jin civilization, even if they have high IQ and do not have enough knowledge, cannot truly understand the power of modern weapons. Their understanding of modern weapons is at most at the level of artillery firing in the Qing Dynasty. The artillery of ten thousand-ton destroyer is actually only worth visiting. When it comes to real fighting, the rocket launchers and missiles hidden in the cabin are much stronger than artillery.

But even though he lacked cognition, Jin Wenming still felt that he was crushed.

Under the crushing of absolute strength, the top leaders of the Jin civilization were silent one after another.

"Zhao Yi, do you think they are good or evil?" the old emperor took a deep breath and asked.

"It should be...most of them are kind-hearted." Zhao Yi thought for a while and said cautiously.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because..." Zhao Yi smiled bitterly, because the parrot in charge of translation gave up in the middle, so the communication between the two sides was very unhappy.

The accident happened in the Great Jin Empire, which was actually a very impolite behavior.

If it were some civilization that was not very friendly, it might be a problem.

But the Yunhai did not show any impatientness. The two sides stumbled and talked for more than an hour before completing the first transaction.

Moreover, looking at the other person's expression, he looked quite satisfied and did not deliberately make things difficult for them.

"Although this reason is not sufficient, it means something to a certain extent... They are a very patient and cautious civilization."

General Zhao said again: "And, the other party was obviously interested in our strange beast, so he proposed to buy the parrot. We can still give some bargaining chips here..."

“The premise is that we are willing to do this.”

Another minister also said, "Your Majesty, this involves a bigger issue. Is it the status of the alien beasts higher, or the status of the people of Jin State higher?"

"We should be able to gain some deals with each other."

The old emperor was a little troubled. If it were decades ago, strange beasts would definitely be higher than the people. The people caught a large number of strange beasts, but there were not many.

But now... the population is only more than 10,000, and after death, people will become ghosts. When a man is angry, blood splashes for five steps. This is not a joke! Some people commit suicide when they can't survive, and they will involve more people. Therefore, the status of civilians has been greatly improved. Their Jin Empire can't stand a civil strife.

So, only development is the bottom line!

The minister also said: "According to the calculation results, there is no big conflict between our sides, and the possibility of a war is indeed not high. In addition, the other party did not sacrifice to the evil gods and suppressed the evil gods. Further communication is possible... Therefore, we should not miss this opportunity, even if we sell some... strange beasts."

The other conservatives immediately objected, "But the alien beast has the blood of the dragon!"

"Your Majesty think twice. If you sell strange beasts, the dragon will be disappointed in us!!"

Another person shouted with a red face: "It's better to seize the opportunity than to die in the future! Some pedantic traditions should have been changed long ago!"

"The strange beast is a strange beast, what does it have to do with the dragon!"

People argued fiercely.

Along the way, the pedantic and arrogance of the Great Jin Empire had long disappeared.

At the earliest times, they thought they were the center of the universe, the Great Jin Empire had abundant resources and everything, and they were barbarians outside the Great Jin Dynasty. But after a disaster, they were beaten by reality and the divine dragon was in danger, so they had no such idea.

In order to survive, the humans here had to change many past traditions and their thoughts became more open-minded.

I don’t know that the civilization of change was cleaned into the trash can of history in a cruel environment...

Hearing everyone's argument, the old emperor coughed and did not speak immediately.

He didn't know if Lord Shenlong would be angry if he sold the strange beast dealer.

"But with Lord Shenlong's compassion, there must be no problem..."

After so many years of contact, the old emperor vaguely felt that the dragon and their entire civilization were inseparable. As a spiritual totem, the dragon exists because of the existence of the Jin civilization. Once the Jin civilization disappears, the dragon will also disappear.

Otherwise, with the ability of the dragon, you can abandon them and leave, find a place to hide, and there is no need to help them all the time, so you will not leave even if you are seriously injured.

Of course, this is just a real idea in the old emperor's mind. Even his status, he would not dare to complain to Lord Shenlong behind his back.

That's very disrespectful.

The wound on the abdomen of the dragon was affected by some mysterious force and had not healed for a long time and blood continued to flow out. This is how the blood flowing from the strange beast was actually obtained.

With the medical level of Jin civilization, this wound was completely unable to be treated, so Shenlong was still surviving.

"If we go from a technological civilization transaction to a better medical facility... maybe, is there really a possibility of treatment?"
