"They only have such a little Yaojing?" After reading the trade list in his hand, Magus put it on the table. He took off his eyes and rubbed his sockets.

These Orientals are really troublesome, but they don’t come up with much practical information under the banner of promoting communication. Perhaps the only useful ones are the books they brought.

But no one has seen the texts in these books, and they don’t understand what they all record. After preliminary analysis, the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the History Institute believed that it was a kind of runes, or texts after simplified totems.

In short, it's just that it's very complicated, and there is no rule. Except for a few of them that are a bit similar to hieroglyphs, you can't understand other words at all.

However, they opened a list of things to buy from the Empire and pulled them back, including Yaojing.

According to the quantity and specifications on this list, Yaojing is actually not very eye-catching.

Compared to some other things, Yaojing is more like a small thing to buy casually. It is not large in quantity and is written casually just to cover more varieties.

But Magus had a feeling that what these orientals really wanted was the inconspicuous Yaojing.

Yaojing is not a limited non-renewable resource. As long as you ensure that the core of the ore vein is not mined, new Yaojing will continue to be born around the main vein of the ore vein as time goes by.

The scientists of the Empire have been studying this thing for many years, and the only conclusion they came to is that Yaojing has the possibility of self-replication and reproduces itself in a way that has not been discovered by people.

The reserves of the seven Yaojing mining areas in the empire have not changed much after hundreds of years of mining. In addition, in recent years, the demand for Yaojing in some equipment has been greatly reduced, and the mining intensity is not as good as before.

It doesn’t matter if you really want to sell it to Orientals. Anyway, there are so many things in the Western world.

But Magus always felt that in his heart, the research process of the empire and even the entire Western world was not as good as that of the East.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes and ordered, "Tell me what Zhang Mu, Yaojing is a strategic resource of the empire, with low reserves and limited mining. The annual output is only enough for internal consumption and there is no plan for foreign trade..." He brewed for a while, and a strange color flashed in his slightly turbid eyes when he opened his eyes. "Of course, if they were willing to come up with advanced technology for developing Yaojing, we might not be able to squeeze out some."

"I understand." The Minister of Foreign Affairs continued to report on the next matter. "The Orientals made a request that they hoped to leave some representatives to learn our culture and live in the empire for a long time. Should we promise them?"

"Each of their requests has a clear purpose..." Magus put his eyes on again, picked up the list he had read and looked, and said while looking, "They want to have a more thorough understanding of our society. Yes, but we must also understand their society. If they are willing to accept our request for exchange study life, let them stay."

"Also, it's very important to figure out the safe channel they have. Even if you make appropriate concessions on other issues, this must be implemented!"

The visit of the Oriental Mission did not make Magus very happy, but instead felt that it was a threat.

The science of the Orientals may not be very developed, but they took another path to strengthen the role of individuals.

That day the swordsman faced the Empire's most advanced automatic rifle without any injury, which brought great shock to Magus. In fact, there are some people in the Empire who can do it, but these people have extremely special identities, and their existence is the symbolic meaning of the last barrier of the Empire.

Now the West has almost zero understanding of the East. How many such people are there and how many years it takes to be trained? Whether it can be achieved by training alone, and the way the war manifestations of Eastern forces are all a mystery.

Magus was still more worried. This time, Orientals performed slightly better than those recorded, and they also put forward the requirement to stay and learn. It sounds like this is a relatively normal requirement, and some people who have over-interpreted it can even think that this is a manifestation of underdeveloped Eastern science.

But for Magus, perhaps this is their understanding of Western society. If one person wants to understand another person more deeply, it is largely to ensure their own interests, in other words, to improve competitiveness.

How do countries reflect who is strong and who is weak?

You will know after a war.

"Anyway, two things are what you must do, to find out whether the Orientals have more advanced development technology on Yaojing, and the real purpose of their desire for these Yaojings. Secondly, find ways to let them share the waterway and then send someone back with them."

At the same time, in the temporary residence of the Oriental Mission, Zhang Mu looked at a piece of crystal as big as a thumb in his hand, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Originally, Emperor Tian asked him to go on a mission to the West. In addition to promoting the reputation of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, he also looked at the development of the outside world. He had no other requirements. He was purely... and wanted to show off after being extremely inflated. Of course, this is a private statement.

But when he got the Rifle of the Sorcery that day, he knew that the harvest of this trip would definitely not be too simple. He felt the surging spiritual energy and the power of heaven and earth in the spinning thing!

These stupid monkey-like Westerners actually regard such precious things as something that provides power. They have no idea of ​​the true value of these spirit stones!

With the powerful war weapons possessed by this Yaoxing Empire, Zhang Mu believed that it was necessary to have a more thorough understanding of the Western world, understand the technology they mentioned, and the reserves of spirit stones in the West.

He believed that after these news was transmitted back to the imperial capital, some changes were very likely.

The over-exploitation of spirit stones on the three major islands is almost exhausted and is now protected, but the demand for spirit stones in society is constantly increasing.

If it weren't for finding new mineral veins from the waters near the three major islands, those sects would have been rioting long ago.

Perhaps, this is also an opportunity!

His eyes soon returned to the thumb-sized spirit stone in his hand, and at the same time, some confusion arose.

Why can't this thing be absorbed directly like those spirit stones in the east?

Why didn’t you react at all? You could clearly feel the power of heaven and earth in this spirit stone, but you just couldn’t absorb it!
