Chapter 106 Trade Requests
Kyle and Elder Muyu turned around, saw Lin Mo, and slightly tidied their appearance.
Although they are hardly presentable now.
"Lord Lin Mo, your efficiency is astonishing, surpassing even the speed of creation by the gods," Kyle exclaimed sincerely.
Lin Mo smiled. Not only were they surprised, but Lin Mo himself was also taken aback.
This construction speed is simply unbeatable.
I used to see news reports of bridges being built overnight, and I didn't think much of it.
Now, I see with my own eyes a vast plain transformed into defensive lines by the busy work of the soldiers, with various steel-powered artillery emplacements standing tall.
The feeling of massing troops in StarCraft is really awesome!
Just as he was about to say something modest, a commotion arose in the distance.
"The data doesn't match! Terra's gravity is 0.08 Gs stronger than Earth's, and its atmosphere is also denser!"
Academician Qian Zhenhua's voice was filled with excitement.
"Based on the horizon observation method, the planet's volume is larger than Earth's, so the rocket's payload must be reduced!"
"The fuel mix needs to be recalculated! Quickly, give me the latest wind speed and atmospheric composition data!"
A group of researchers followed behind him, each holding a tablet computer with a dense stream of data scrolling rapidly across the screen.
They are preparing data support for tomorrow's Long March 11 rocket launch.
Launching rockets and satellites from another world is undoubtedly a feat that would drive scientists crazy.
Moreover, with satellites, much of the mystery surrounding this planet will be unveiled, greatly satisfying our curiosity.
Just then, a loud eagle cry came from the night sky.
Everyone looked up.
Five magnificent griffins swooped down from the sky, and on the back of the lead griffin, a familiar figure made Lin Mo's pupils shrink slightly.
Fendona!
Why is she here?
Weren't we supposed to go to the Elf King's City?
The griffin landed steadily on the makeshift helipad, stirring up a gust of wind.
Fendona nimbly jumped off the griffin's back, her emerald eyes instantly locking onto Lin Mo under the light.
Seeing Lin Mo standing there unharmed, she looked over with joy and quickly ran towards him.
"Lord Lin Mo, it's so good to hear you're alright!"
She then greeted Elder Muyu and handed him the scroll.
"Her Majesty the Queen asked me to give this to you."
Elder Muyu immediately began to examine it.
Lin Mo looked at the elven girl who had run up to him, both surprised and delighted, and asked with a smile:
"Why are you back?"
"Her Majesty the Queen sent me back." Fendona gasped for breath, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Her Majesty the Queen has received details of your battle in Firefly Town and is amazed by your strength."
"And they are very interested in your weapons!"
The four elven guards behind her carefully lifted Lin Mo's sleeping body off the back of a griffin.
Lin Mo looked at his "other body" with some astonishment.
Well, I was planning to fall asleep tonight, wake up over there, and then get some Common Language textbooks from the Elf King's City. Now that plan is ruined.
Following Lin Mo's gaze, Fendona saw what was happening and said:
"I brought back your...other body as well." She hesitated for a moment, as this was the first time she had ever seen a soul in two bodies.
"Oh, by the way, Her Majesty the Queen also said that she hopes to trade a batch of weapons with Great Xia." Fendona's tone was full of anticipation.
"May I?"
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to answer when a rapid whooshing sound came from the sky on the other side.
Three Templar Knights, clad in magnificent golden armor and riding magnificent winged horses, descended at an even faster speed.
The lead knight landed abruptly, knelt on one knee before Archbishop Kyle, and spoke in a loud voice:
"Report! Lord Kyle! His Holiness the Pope has given an order!" The knight bowed slightly as he finished reporting, then raised his hand and presented the parchment.
They had a portal at the border, which was farther than the elves', but thanks to the Pope's swift response, they arrived at the same time as the elves' messengers.
Kyle stepped forward, took it, and immediately began to read it.
The knight stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Mo beside him, filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
"His Majesty is aware of the situation here and pays the highest tribute to the divine might displayed by the Great Xia!"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
Kyle quickly skimmed through the main content.
The general idea is to try to reach a deal with Da Xia.
The Holy Human Race needs these 'alchemical weapons' that can wield thunder and fire to fight against the Demon Race and restore their former glory!
This was exactly what Kyle had expected.
This is also why he is "hanging out" with Qian Zhenhua of Daxia today.
His relationship with Lin Mo had been somewhat unpleasant before, and he felt it would be difficult for him to apologize to Lin Mo, given his pride.
Fortunately, after the war, and by agreeing to teach Lin Mo magic, their relationship improved considerably.
All of this was paving the way for this moment.
Anyone with half a brain can see the war potential of the Great Xia people's weapons.
Shouldn't we try to get some?
So he began:
"Lord Lin Mo, our Holy Human Race happens to share the same idea."
"Your weapons are quite unique; I'd like to buy some to try them out."
Lin Mo listened with a smile, then looked somewhat embarrassed:
"Lord Kyle, as you know, due to the size of the portal, our own weapons are also in short supply."
"Moreover, it involves our own weapons and equipment...which is somewhat sensitive. I need to discuss it with someone before I can give a specific answer."
Kyle nodded slightly.
"No problem, I understand your difficulties."
Fendona said:
"Will it be a lot of trouble?"
Lin Mo patted Fendona on the shoulder and smiled:
"fine."
Fendona: "If it doesn't work, then forget it. We were just curious."
Lin Mo smiled, his eyes filled with meaning.
Silly girl, your queen is more than just curious.
On one hand, there are bows and arrows, which have a slow rate of fire but are more powerful than firearms due to enchantment magic.
On one hand, there are firearms with a high rate of fire but insufficient power.
But what if you could enchant guns?
From then on, the Elven race would have no weaknesses.
It's no exaggeration to say that, given the physical attributes of elven archers, any one of them could easily take a Gatling gun or a heavy machine gun to the battlefield on their own.
With magical enchantment, a single bullet becomes equivalent to an arrow, an effect far superior to what the people of Daxia used to achieve!
Just like a human heavy machine gun equipped with cubic nitrogen bullets, its power is explosive.
The Queen could not possibly be unaware of its strategic value.
It's just that Fendona is still young and hasn't thought about it in that direction yet.
They still simply found the technology of the Great Xia Dynasty interesting, as it was completely different from the weapons of the Terra Continent.
The trade between the two sides was something that Great Xia had anticipated, and naturally, it had prepared corresponding countermeasures.
The reason Lin Mo didn't agree to the other party's trade request now, but instead appeared hesitant, was to control the other party and avoid appearing as if he had planned it all along.
He looked at Kyle and Elder Muyu and smiled:
"I'll go talk to our people right away and see if we can sell you some weapons and equipment for research."
"In consideration of the help and friendship you two have shown us in the past, I will do my best to make it happen, and I will give you an answer later."
Upon hearing this, Kyle and Elder Muyu bowed slightly to express their gratitude.
