Chapter 17: Introducing new technologies

"What? There are other undersea cities besides Atlantis?" I was startled by the words of Emperor Atlantis! "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"We were not very familiar with each other. If you go to other undersea cities to trade, I will lose a lot. If I say I am also the leader of Atlanticus, I must consider my tribe!"

"So what do you mean now? Want me to help you attack other undersea cities?"

"That's about that." Seeing that my expression on my face was not very good, Atlantis immediately added: "Of course I won't let you fight in vain. You also know that the technical power of our underwater cities is much stronger than that of your people on land. Atlantis' technology is only considered to be medium-level and high-level in the sea. Other underwater cities each have their own technical fields and are very advanced. If you help fight, we will share the technology you get. In fact, our Atlantis attacks other underwater cities not for the other party's technological civilization, but for their own safety and territory issues. We will get what we need at that time to ensure that you don't suffer any losses."

After hearing the encouragement of Atlantis, I was really a little moved. "If Atlantis' technology is only at the upper-middle level, then attacking other cities will not suffer any losses as long as we can get one or two technologies. Even if we destroy all the cities, I believe that one or two technologies can still be obtained."

"So you agreed to help?" Atlantis the Great seemed very excited.

"Wait, don't be excited."

"Ah? Is there any other problem?"

"The problem is big." I asked slowly, "Even if I agree to help, what role can we play? Most of my people are around 600 now. Although there is order armor to dive, even if the whole group is dispatched, there are only more than 10,000 people, which is not very helpful to the battle, right? Besides, we are unlikely to go out in full swing. At least we must keep the necessary personnel, and no more than 3,000 people can fight. This team seems to not affect the end of the war, right? Besides, our level is not suitable for participating in the war? You are all at level 700, and we are only at level 600, and our combat effectiveness is one level worse!"

"I know you are not of high level, and I don't want you to attack the undersea city."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Well! That's it...! I'll explain the situation to you first!" Emperor Atlantis pulled me to their chart room and asked me to look at the chart. "This is the Asian continent, that is, you China. Come here, we are Atlantis, and continue to go east to Japan Island. Now, after crossing Japan Island, reaching the Pacific Ocean, and continuing to move forward, we will reach the location of our enemy."

"Good! They live in the Mariana Trench?"

"What is Mariana Trench? This is called Kamoka Trench!"

It seems that the name in the game is a bit different! "Okay, no matter what the name is, the enemy lives here anyway, right?"

"Yes, here. There is an urban agglomeration under the trench. The other party is a descendant of the Great White Sharks. Not only is the technological strength advanced, but the most important thing is that their combat power is much stronger than ours. You also know that we all live in mermaids in Atlantis. In terms of appearance, we are definitely much more beautiful than them, but fighting is not a beauty pageant!"

"I understand what you mean. Just tell me what you should do."

Emperor Atlantis said: "According to the news sent back by our scouts, the Great White Sharks have recently joined a land force like us. Our underwater races all lack magic crystals, and the same is true for the Great White Sharks. If they want to fight, they have to start combat machines. Those things need magic crystals. The reason why we underwater races have not attacked each other over the years is that our magic crystals are almost used up, and we are already very nervous to maintain our survival and have no spare energy to fight."

"Needless to say, I understand. Now you have magic crystals and they have them, and both sides are preparing for war."

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Then the help you mean is to cut off the other party's magic crystal supply, right?"

"Smart!" Atlantis gave a thumbs up.

"There is no problem with this, but at least you have to tell me who is transporting magic crystals for them?"

"Our inspectors don't know the land situation, so they can't find out the other party's specific information, but there is a clue. First, the other party is a guild on the Japanese island. Second, the great white sharks have sold their torpedo-related technologies and torpedo launchers in exchange for two batches of magic crystals. Third, they are about to conduct a third transaction soon. It is said that the technology to be traded this time is sonic gun technology." Now I know what the Japanese torpedo is going on!

"Sonic cannon? Is it the dolphin-like principle that concentrates ultrasound waves into a beam to emit them to achieve destructive effects?"

"It's that kind of thing."

"How powerful is it? Dolphins seem to be able to kill the fish with that thing. Their sonic cannons are definitely not used to fish, right?"

"I don't know how powerful the Great White Shark Clan's sonic cannon is. It's very powerful anyway, and that thing is one of the few weapons that can attack long-range underwater."

I was excited after hearing the words of Emperor Atlantis. Sound wave cannons can be fired underwater, but our submarine just doesn't have a weapon that can be fired underwater. This sonic cannon is simply a weapon designed for submarines! "I want to know if Atlantis does not have similar technology?"

"We mermaids have always been passively beaten, so most of Atlantis' technology is based on propeller technology and auxiliary technology as the main research directions. When encountering problems, our Atlantis' troops run faster, and running fast is also an advantage. However, the great white sharks' technology focuses on offensiveness. They have a large number of combat skills. In addition to sonic cannons and torpedo technology, they also have high-frequency shock wave technology, which are all very powerful attack technologies. Their auxiliary technology also focuses on assisted aiming and fast shooting as the research directions, which is the technical difference."

"Does there any other tribes besides you two tribes in the sea?"

"There are many, but we only have four tribes that are more familiar to us."

"You have a general introduction."

"In addition to the great white sharks, there are also turtle clans, black octopus clans and pirate squid clans. Among them, the black octopus clans are relatively friendly with our mermaid clans. Although the turtle clans also have contacts, they have ordinary relationships. The pirate squid clans are just a group of robbers, and we rarely contact them. In addition to these 4 clans, there are many races in the sea, but they are not very familiar with them, and some small groups do not even have cities."

"Please wait here." The big turtle who brought us in came in and informed us, and we had to wait outside!

I looked around when I was bored. No matter what the turtle city is, the walls are extremely thick, and even the door is the same as the vault door. It is probably because the turtles like this stable design, after all, their own turtle shells are also as thick.

After a while, the turtle man came out and let us in, but this time he did not take us in, but let us in by ourselves. After entering the room, a turtle man asked us to enter the room inside. After we walked in, we saw a turtle man who was much larger than the turtle outside.

"Hello, Mermaid Chief!" The Turtle Man didn't know me, but he knew the Mermaid Clan, so he greeted Emperor Atlanticus first politely.

"Hello."

"Don't you know what happened to you this time?"

"There's something." Atlantis pushed me in front. "This is our Atlantis supplier, and I actually brought him to meet you today."

The big turtle looked at me. "Do you have something to ask me for?"

"That's it." I began to start the temptation plan. "I heard from Atlantis the Great that all races in the sea rely on magic crystals to live normally, right?"

The big turtle nodded. "We turtles actually have no gills. Although we can hold our breath underwater for a long time, we still have to breathe in the end, so there must be an underwater city full of air. Judging from your relationship with the mermaids, you should know how much energy such a city consumes, so it is difficult for any race in the water to survive without magic crystals."

"Yes, I understand this. And I came for this. I think you should need magic crystals very much, right?"

The big turtle's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his lazy and lazy look disappeared immediately. "What do you mean is that you have magic crystals?"

"Not only have it, but also a lot. All the magic crystals used by Atlantis are supplied by me. On land, I have several large magic crystal ores. I can mine hundreds of kilograms of magic crystal ore every day. It is no problem to produce a few kilograms of pure magic crystals after processing and removing miscellaneous materials." Although I don't have a mining area yet, I don't have to worry about the resource distribution map of the Temple of Light, and I can mine them immediately if I need it.

"So what do you want from me?" After all, the big turtle is the leader of a clan, and he must be clear about the truth that pies will not fall from the sky.

I didn't go around with him either. "I'll tell you clearly! I'm going to fight the enemy now. I heard that your technical strength is quite strong. I hope to use magic crystals to exchange some of the techniques I need to arm my fleet."

The big turtle blinked and thought for a long time before saying, "It's not impossible to sell technology, but your price is...?"

"If you show the technology, I will choose what I need and you will price it. If not, we can discuss it slowly."

Atlantis inserted it and said, "If you want to look at the technology, it will be inconvenient for me to stay. Atlantis cannot do without people, so I'll go back first."

"Goodbye, I will go to Atlantis to discuss your request when I'm over." I gave Atlantis a positive answer, at least letting him know that I'll help him fight and make him more active.

After Emperor Atlantis left, the leader of the Turtle took me all over the building on the side of the palace. This was their data technology storage place, which was somewhat similar to the archives.

"These are related names and functional introductions of various technologies. You can take a look at them one by one! Let me tell me the technology you want, and we will negotiate the price and then give you a complete technical information."

"Okay, but are these?"

"Only one of the cabinets here is that the personnel files there have nothing to do with you. Look."

I no longer talk nonsense and read all the introductions of all the information one by one. Although I don’t understand pure technology very well, I can still understand most of the content with a detailed introduction. Good guy, the technical strength of the Turtle clan is indeed extraordinary. Their technology is basically concentrated in the processing of special materials and synthetic materials, and there are also many auxiliary technologies. After more than two hours of reading and selecting, I finally picked out the required technology.

This time, we selected four most useful technologies, which are definitely necessary for warships. The first is steel purification processing technology. Using this technology, ordinary steel can be used to process high-strength special steel. The most important thing is that this technology allows the addition of a variety of materials to make new materials with significantly higher hardness and toughness than raw materials. That is to say, if ink steel and refined steel are used to combine, materials with higher hardness and toughness can be processed. The second technology is structural support technology, which mainly uses multi-layer composite structures on the outer shell of the warship and uses special materials to support it, so that the hull can be firm, especially when the warship is larger, this internal support structure can reduce the burden on the hull caused by waves to ensure that the warship can be made large without breaking. The third technology surprised me that the turtles actually have an active defense system. This is a kind of photosensitive

The system consisting of components and projectile shotguns is mainly to capture high-speed moving targets through optical components, and then the operator behind the optical components can easily allow the shotgun launcher to aim in the rough direction to fire. The advantage of shotguns is that it has a high hit rate. Anyway, as long as it aims at the rough direction, one or two shotguns will hit the target. I really have to admire the research spirit of the turtles! The last technology is the advanced air lock system, which should actually be called the warship anti-sinking system. It mainly uses the air pressure principle. After the warship is injured, this system can close the damaged area and block the water outside. As long as the hull is not hit, it can ensure that the warship will not sink, and at least it can support it until it returns. If there were such things, our Victory would not sink. At that time, it struggled on the sea surface for nearly an hour after withdrawing from the battle!

"That's all." I handed the four techniques to the leader of the Turtle.

He took it and looked at the technical name on the side. "You really know how to choose. These four are the best technologies. Let's do it! As long as you produce 10 tons of magic crystals, you can take away the technical information, but these technologies cannot be transferred, you can only use them yourself."

"Are you sure it's 10 tons?"

"What's wrong? Is it too expensive?" The big turtle said nervously: "If you think it's expensive, we can discuss it again!"

"No, no, I don't think it's expensive! 10 tons is agreed to be 10 tons!" It turns out that this big turtle doesn't understand the market! The value of these three technologies is absolutely more than 23 tons of magic crystals. I planned to ask for at least 15 tons of magic crystals at the beginning! I didn't expect that his offer price was lower than what I thought! In fact, as long as he didn't shout more than 20 tons, I would agree, but since he had already said 10 tons, I wouldn't shout at a high silly!

"Then is the transaction going on now? How do you pay?" The big turtle asked me excitedly. After all, magic crystals are the pillar of people's livelihood for them. Just like food, he was of course excited to buy so many. But even if the proportion of magic crystals is large, 10 tons of magic crystals is definitely a lot. When he saw me empty-handed, of course he wanted to ask how to trade.

I said directly: "Just bring the full set of technical information, I brought it in stock."

"No, right? Do you bring your 10-ton magic crystal stone with you?"

"What are you doing? Isn't it okay?"

"No, no!" The big turtle immediately said: "Then I'll let someone get something right."

I was taken to a hall to wait, and several turtle technicians quickly ran over with a large amount of technical information. The four technical information can be piled together and made a square table. It was so big! I opened the space door, put away all the information, and asked the Dragon Cavalry to move out the magic crystals inside. There was a lot of huge pile of magic crystals piled up with 10 tons. I went half of the magic crystals left here. It seemed that I would consider mining in the future!

Because magic crystals are valuable items, the turtle insists on using precise measurements together. As a result, they weighed them all night with 20 large scales, and they ended when it was almost dawn! After finally completing the transaction, I was almost sent out of the city like a hero. In fact, I was really a lottery! Magic crystals can be dug again in the future, but these techniques can't be bought even if you have money.

After leaving the Turtle Clan's city, I returned to Atlantis directly. The matter of Emperor Atlantis and I have not yet been discussed!

When he saw me back, Emperor Atlantis immediately came up. "How is it? The transaction was successful?"

I nodded. "No, very successful. Have you sent someone from the Black Octopus Clan back?"

"I'm back, but there are some problems."

"What's the problem? They refuse to sell it?"

"That's not." Emperor Atlantis said: "It's mainly because it's not easy to discuss some things like price and other things. Finally, we told the leader of the Black Octopus tribe. They agreed to send a boat to pick you up to the city transaction of the Black Octopus tribe."

"I'm going to run!" I felt like I was almost dizzy! "They didn't say much time, did they?"

"That's not there, but the ship is already waiting outside."

"This is too hurry! You guys wait for me!" I went offline and then went online again. I asked Emperor Atlantis to prepare some food for my demons. Everyone was very hungry and thirsty. If they didn't eat, they would reduce their loyalty! Atlantis' food is not only seafood, but also seafood. It's okay once a while. Eating it every day will definitely cost people's lives!

After solving the food problem, Emperor Atlantis personally took me to meet the people of the Black Octopus tribe. When we arrived at the port of Atlantis, I was startled by the people of the Black Octopus tribe. "Is this a member of the Black Octopus tribe?" The man in front of him was completely human in addition to being taller. In theory, the octopus must have at least 8 tentacles! Will they transform?

Before Emperor Atlantis answered, the member of the Black Octopus clan replied first: "Our race is called Black Octopus, which does not mean that we look like octopus! Are there any Han races on land? Are you all Han?"

"I understand it wrong!"

"It's okay, please come on the boat with me."

"Boat?" I used my fingers to draw around. "Which one do you mean?"

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot that you are not a member of our clan!" The member of the black octopus clan who was receiving me in front of me took out a pair of strange things made of crystals and gave them to me. "Bring them with you."

I looked at the crystal in my hand, as if it could be put on my face, and the shape was a bit like a night vision device. I took off my helmet and took the crystal and put the helmet outside. When I looked up, I saw an UFO-saurus-like thing parked in front of us. The thing was no more than 10 meters away! I was stunned by the thing in front of me. Such a big thing was completely invisible at such a close distance!

"Don't be surprised, this is the special technology of our Black Octopus tribe. I just gave you a polarized light mirror. Because our hull is made of a special structure, it only emits direct light, and you can't see anything without using a polarized light mirror."
Chapter completed!
