I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 425: Super Spiritual Material
A few kilometers away.

Mr. Ghost, who was transformed by Yang Fan, was reading today's summary of information.

Although the document is called a "briefing," it is over 200 pages long.

After all, Daxia is such a huge country, and countless things happen in the country every day.

It is not uncommon to select the important events and add some major events happening in the world to compile more than 200 pages.

At first, Yang Fan would read carefully, but now he usually just glances at the title of most information and doesn’t spend time reading the content.

He only reads in detail about important matters or information that interests him.

Civilized trade is the highlight of today, so it occupies a considerable amount of space in the briefing, with more than 30 pages introducing related content.

“…The profits from civilized trade are simply shockingly high.

"This kind of trade is so helpful to the civilized world that it can be said to have added a rocket booster.

"The price of War Fist No. 360 is 880 million Xia Yuan, and the price of War Fist No. is million Xia Yuan. Although the prices may not seem high, the profits are actually staggering.

"Because of the ultra-large-scale purchase of 500 million sets, the cost has been pushed down to the limit.

“According to estimates, the production of the War Fist series of exoskeletons requires the construction of more than 200 factories, with a fixed asset investment of no less than 2000 billion Xia Yuan.

"If we convert this investment into unit price, the average price of each set of Combat Fist Exoskeleton is just over 4.

"Taking into account a series of costs such as materials, manpower, logistics, and management, the cost of War Fist No. 62 was only 114, while the cost of War Fist No. reached million.

"Based on this calculation, the profit margins are 83% and 87% respectively.

"The military trade competition in Canglan Star is fierce now. The profit of conventional weapons and equipment is usually 20% to 30%, and the profit of high-end weapons will exceed 50%. However, it is impossible to maintain such a high profit through large-scale procurement.

“This time, the trade volume with the Iron Fist civilization is so huge, and the profit margin is still so high. This is quite rare.

“The above is only the profit from the manufacturing end, there is another profit that has not been calculated.

“In order to lower the price during the negotiation, the Iron Fist Man expressed his willingness to provide some exotic materials to manufacture core components to improve the performance of the exoskeleton.

“The amount of foreign materials we reported was about 30% more than the actual demand.

"They are all materials that the Blue Civilization cannot currently obtain, and the value of these extra materials will significantly exceed the production cost of the exoskeleton.

“In summary, the actual profit margin of this transaction is expected to reach 220% to 230%.

“That is, if I sell a product to Iron Fist for 100 summer dollars, the final profit can reach more than 220 summer dollars.

"If we calculate the price based on cost, a product with a cost of 1 yuan can bring in a profit of 22 yuan, which is equivalent to 22 times the profit."

When Yang Fan saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

It must be said that civilized trade is a transaction in which each party feels that they have "made a huge profit". The satisfaction level of both parties is very high, and they are naturally willing to proceed to the next step of the transaction.

This is because there is no competition between the two parties in the transaction. Instead, due to the different types of civilizations, they are highly complementary.

Yang Fan read ten lines at a glance and quickly finished reading the briefing on civilized trade.

Since this was the first transaction, the Iron Fist Civilization was very cautious and they only purchased 500 million sets of the War Fist series exoskeletons.

Although Daxia displayed a lot of equipment and Iron Fist was very interested in many weapons, he did not place any orders.

Daxia purchased a huge amount of exotic materials in units of "10,000 tons".

More than 90% of them are first-level special materials, and a small amount is second-level special materials.

There is no level three exotic material on the list. The lower limit of this thing is equivalent to that of a high-level warrior, and the upper limit is equal to that of an entry-level knight. Iron Fist himself does not have enough of it, so of course he will not take it out for trading.

Most of the exotic materials traded in this transaction are things that the people of Daxia have never come into contact with before. Their specific uses are currently unclear and require further research by experts.

But what is certain is that these exotic materials are all good things.

As long as it is studied thoroughly, Daxia will usher in another explosion of black technology.

After Yang Fan finished reading the briefing, his mind moved slightly.

An extremely gorgeous ornament, about the size of an adult's hand and shaped like a small shield, appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

It is carved entirely from a strange red crystal.

It seemed as if flames were burning inside the crystal, and a faint red glow lingered around it, making it look extremely dazzling.

This is the gift given by the guardian of Iron Fist civilization.

The material it is made of is a third-level exotic material, which is also a specialty of the Iron Fist civilization, and its name is - Brilliant Fire Crystal.

According to the Iron Fist Man, in the world group to which the Iron Fist civilization belongs, only three civilizations produce Brilliant Fire Crystals, which are quite popular in various civilized worlds.

the other side.

Gabalabas asked another question: "I heard that there is a strong man named 'Spirit Crow' in the Canglan civilization. How strong is this person?"

Gabamda thought for a moment and replied, "The Blue Raven is a very mysterious person. I have been in the Blue Civilization for several months and have never seen a Blue Raven. I have only seen the Ravens under his command.

"But I personally guess that the Blue Raven's strength should not be inferior to the Blue Ghost."

Gabarabas stopped and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Gabamda immediately gave an example: "I heard about an incident where the Blue Raven once sent a very large tree spirit eight thousand kilometers away."

Gabarabas was surprised: "So powerful?!"

Gabamda nodded and said, "Although I don't know the level of the Blue Raven, this is definitely a knight-level method."

Gabarabas took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "So the Canglan civilization has two top-level knights?"

Gabamda nodded again: "In terms of top-level combat power alone, I'm afraid the Blue Civilization is not inferior to our Iron Fist Civilization."

Gabarabas's expression changed slightly, and he completely gave up the delusion hidden deep in his heart: "It seems that the Iron Fist Civilization should avoid conflict with the Blue Civilization as much as possible, otherwise both civilizations will suffer losses."

Gabamda nodded heavily: "This is the wisest choice."

In fact.

Long before setting out, the Guardian had assigned Gabarabas a task, which was to find out the truth about the Canglan civilization.

In case the two civilizations conflict in the future, the Iron Fist civilization can prepare in advance.

Originally, Gabalabas was quite optimistic. The Iron Fist civilization had two powerful knights, while the Blue Civilization had only one. With two against one, they had a high chance of suppressing the Blue Ghost.

By then, the army of warriors sent by our civilization will be enough to sweep away these weak Canglan people.

Now he has completely given up on the idea.

The combat power of the Blue Ghost is so strong, and the Blue Raven seems to have mastered very powerful spatial abilities.

The two powerful Canglan men teamed up together, relying on their powerful spatial abilities, they might be able to suppress the two guardians of this civilization.

Gabamda told another piece of news: “Yesterday I was helping the Daxia people to carry out a mission and I overheard something.

"It is said that the Blue Raven is conducting an experiment, which is to use external forces to induce the souls of ordinary Blue people to mutate, so that they can directly awaken their superpowers."

Gabarabas was shocked when he heard this: "How is this possible?"

The concept he has accepted over the years is that superpowers can only be awakened by oneself. External forces may be of some help, but they can only advance the time of awakening.

Directly allowing an ordinary person to awaken superpowers completely overturned his cognition.

Gabamda did not refute, but just said: "I don't know whether this is true or not, but according to what I overheard, the Blue Raven seems to have made considerable progress.

"The two Canglan people who participated in the experiment had not even awakened their supernatural characteristics before, but now they have supernatural characteristics of a good level."

Although he said "I don't know whether it's true or not", from his expression, it was obvious that he believed the information.

Gabalabas was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "If this is true, it means that the Blue Raven has done very in-depth research in the fields of space and soul. His potential may be greater than that of the Blue Ghost."

Gabamda agreed: "I think so too."

at this time.

The two Iron Fist men saw at the same time that a hazy halo suddenly appeared in the night sky a few kilometers away.

In the halo, a huge illusory human figure can be vaguely seen, more than a hundred meters tall.

In the left hand of the figure, he was holding up an equally huge shield of light. The surface of the shield was glowing, as if there was flames surging in it.

The two Iron Fist men were stunned when they saw this scene.

A few seconds passed.

The light dimmed and the vision disappeared.

Gabamda couldn't help but ask, "Is this the 'Glorious Flame Shield' being activated?"

Gabarabas's metallic eyes were filled with shock: "It should be."

Gabamda asked again: "How come the shield shadow after being activated is so huge? It seems to be a little bigger than the shield shadow activated by the Guardian."

Almost all supernatural equipment has a characteristic: the stronger the user, the greater the power they can exert.

The same is true in reverse, the greater the power, the stronger the user is.

Gabarabas disagreed: "I have also seen the Guardian activate the Brilliant Flame Shield, which was about the same size as this shield shadow, and the Guardian did not use his full strength."

Gabamda did not refute, but just nodded and said: "It is indeed almost the same."

In fact, he knew very well that his companions' words were to protect the guardian of their tribe.

When the Guardian activated the Glorious Flame Shield, he was also present and witnessed the huge shield shadow.

He saw very clearly that the shield shadow was obviously smaller.

Besides, the Guardian didn't use his full strength. Does that mean the Blue Ghost has used up all his strength?
Not necessarily!
But Gabamda is not a fool, so he would not argue about such issues with his companions.

the other side.

Yang Fan smiled: "I didn't expect that this thing, when paired with the 100% evolved medium-grade ability [Flame Feather], would be much more powerful than expected."

There are many kinds of fire-related abilities, and there are also many kinds of supernatural flames. The supernatural flames generated by the Wings of Fiery Flames are particularly compatible with the Glorious Flame Shield. The combination of the two creates an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

He felt that if he faced the powerful knight of the Demon Eye Evil Clan again, and used all his strength to activate the Brilliant Flame Shield to hit the opponent, the opponent would at least suffer minor injuries.

Now that I have this thing, it's like I have one more trump card.

Yang Fan put away the Brilliant Flame Shield and whispered softly, "This gift is quite good. How should I repay the Iron Fist Clan Guardian?"

He understood very well that the Iron Fist guardian sent this gift to express friendship on the one hand and to test the financial status of the Canglan civilization on the other.

Toray Overseas.

"Woo~"

The cold wind swept across the endless ice surface.

From here, you can walk all the way to the Arctic Circle, which was unimaginable before the natural disaster. Due to the latitude, the average temperature in this area has dropped to nearly minus 50 degrees Celsius.

Under normal circumstances, long-term low temperatures can create sea ice more than 2 meters thick.

But the sea ice here is no more than half a meter thick.

Even light icebreakers of PC6 and PC7 can continuously break ice of this thickness.

This is the reason why ocean shipping between continents was not interrupted after the cold wave disaster.

Mr. Ling Ya, who was transformed by Yang Fan, looked down at the ice and whispered, "Interesting!"

He could sense that there seemed to be a strange warmth hidden in the sea water.

It is this warmth that has been fighting against the extreme cold, causing ocean temperatures to exceed expectations.

As for why this kind of power appears.

He had a guess in his mind: "The Blue Planet has entered an ice age, and it is obviously the power of the ancient gods that is at work.

"And the warmth hidden in the ocean is most likely the way the 'Planetary Consciousness' fights against the power of the Ancient Gods."

The so-called "planetary pan-consciousness" is another law-level power of the Canglan Star.

He had talked with Xiao Ya before and learned a lot of secret knowledge.

The world will born from the Canglan civilization is the product of the gathering of human subconsciousness, and the planet itself also gave birth to a pan-consciousness.

According to Xiao Ya's understanding, the other party seemed to be a simple consciousness reflected by all life on the entire planet.

She called it - Blue.

Yang Fan's eyes flashed, and he immediately saw countless tiny algae through the ice.

Despite the extreme cold, marine life has never been extinct.

On the contrary, they quickly completed a series of mutations and perfectly adapted to the icy environment.

Although most of the sunlight is blocked by the ice, they still strive to absorb every ray of light and release oxygen continuously through photosynthesis.

Oxygen passes through the tiny cracks in the ice layer and enters the atmosphere of the Blue Star, maintaining the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere.

It is these extremely tiny lives under the ice that support the cornerstone of the ecosystem.

by the way.

The mutated algae under the ice were not discovered by Yang Fan.

As early as several months ago, marine biologists in Daxia had already noticed their presence.

So far, scientists have discovered more than a thousand species of mutant algae, an astonishing number.

Scholars were shocked to declare: "Even if the humans on Blue Planet eventually become extinct, the 'mutated diatoms' in the ocean will continue to reproduce until the moment the planet dies."

The "mutated diatoms" mentioned in this sentence are the most numerous algae in the ocean today.

They get this name because their cell walls contain silica.

Ordinary diatoms before the era of natural disasters were able to synthesize some antifreeze proteins and possessed photosynthetic pigments and photosynthesis mechanisms that could adapt to low temperatures, allowing them to effectively absorb and utilize weaker light.

The mutated diatoms that emerged after the age of natural disasters further enhanced this ability.

Even in the Arctic and Antarctic regions where the temperature is terribly low, a large number of mutant diatoms have been found.

Yang Fan strongly suspected that the large-scale appearance of mutant diatoms might be related to Lan.

At this moment.

He glanced at the distant coast, smiled and murmured: "The power of the Brilliant Flame Shield seems to be able to mobilize the supernatural power in the ocean. Let me test it on you."

He moved his right hand slightly, and a faint red light flashed.

Yang Fan took a step forward with his right foot, and large ripples immediately appeared around him, and his figure quickly became blurred.

After a while.

He disappeared.

"Woo~"

A strong wind came.

Snow dust was floating all over the sky.

No one knew that the Great Xia Crow had once lingered here for a period of time.

Thirty kilometers west.

The evacuation of the Gamenian garrison has come to an end, and currently there are less than 30,000 Gamenians left in the port.

To be honest, these Gameni people really don't have good luck.

During the evacuation process, the port area encountered at least ten attacks by mutant creatures.

No fewer than thirty men died in the attack, including General Maas, the supreme commander of the garrison.

The Gameni people had to dispatch a group of water-based mutants to conduct a dragnet search around the port. It took a lot of effort to find the mutant creature and kill it.

"duo~"

The transport ship sounded its whistle.

"Ready to board the ship!"

An officer in charge of dispatch shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.

The long dragon on the dock began to move.

These soldiers had been queuing for half an hour, each of them cursing and complaining, but when they heard they could board the ship, they immediately started moving.

Because the ice near the dock was relatively thick and difficult to clear, it was inconvenient for transport ships to approach, so the Gameni people came up with a solution.

That is - let the transport ship stop 500 meters away, and the soldiers walk directly on the ice and then board the ship via the gangway.

Another benefit of doing this is that it saves the tedious process of ships docking.

The ice surface is a natural giant dock where any number of ships can board at the same time.

soon.

The fence gate of the dock was opened, and a large group of soldiers walked down the ladder to the dock and walked along the ice to the transport ship.

Soon.

More than five thousand soldiers gathered on the ice, surrounding the six transport ships.

Due to the limited traffic volume on the gangway, traffic jam naturally occurs at the gangway entrance.

Qiao De squeezed into the crowd with his backpack on his back. He could only take a step forward every ten seconds or so. He couldn't help but curse: "Fxxk! Is the person in front of me a snail?"

An old black man nearby advised: "Don't worry, man, there is enough space on the boat."

Joad complained, "I've been holding it in for a long time at the dock, and now my little brother is about to explode."

Lao Hei smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, you can solve it on the spot."

Qiao De looked at the bustling crowd around him and shook his head firmly: "Forget it!"

The voice just fell.

"boom!"

Joad heard a dull sound and a noticeable vibration under his feet.

He subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Lao Hei looked panicked: "Damn it! The ice may have cracked!"

Qiao De was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, turned around without hesitation, and tried his best to squeeze towards the outside of the crowd.

Unfortunately it was too late.

"Bang! Bang!"

The cracking sounds continued one after another.

Cracks appeared one after another and expanded rapidly.

The place where the Gameni soldiers boarded the ship was where the crowd was densely populated, and the ice was under greater stress, so there were many cracks.

Qiao De only felt his feet shaking a few times, and then he and several colleagues around him fell into the icy water with a "plop".

The backpack became extremely heavy after getting wet, and it pulled him straight into the water.

Jode subconsciously opened his mouth and screamed, and the freezing cold water poured into him. He struggled in fear for a while, and then calmed down completely.

This accident happened so suddenly that others had no time to rescue.

One minute later.

Nearly 3000 soldiers disappeared permanently.

The soldiers who managed to survive lay on the ice, all of them were terrified.

Another half hour passed.

Several psychics conducted an investigation and came to a conclusion: "No traces of supernatural power were found, confirming that this should be an accident.

"We may have misjudged the strength of the ice. Too many people gathered on the ice, which put too much pressure on the ice, and ultimately led to the tragedy."

at the same time.

The temporary commander who replaced General Maas was directly demoted to the reserve.

The accident was quickly exposed by the media and became a laughing stock on the Internet.

Mobei Province.

Tolland City.

Yang Fan "watched" the entire process of the disaster from a distance.

He couldn't help but smile: "Level 3 alien materials can mobilize a small amount of supernatural power in the environment. No wonder the civilized world calls alien materials above level 3 'super spiritual alien materials'."

His actions were rather covert, and Gameni, the psychic, was too weak to detect them at all.

Yang Fan did this naturally as revenge for the Gameni people who sent people to assassinate him.
