Chapter 403: Magic Crystals Are Worthless, Exchange One RPG for a Lot of Them

This kind of decision is often not made immediately.

Even the most efficient Zhengfu is the same.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in arms can be regarded as a "draining" transaction for the big bear.

You should know that the total export value of the big bear's energy products in 2022 is 383.73 billion US dollars, which has accounted for 65% of the total export value of the bear, and the mushroom fee expenditure in the new year is only about 120 billion US dollars.

This is because of the fight with the second bear, so the expenditure has increased.

The bear is rich in resources, so it can't be said to be poor, but it is not rich.

The list that Chen Xuan opened is too big, and he must bargain and can't agree to all of it.

And with Pu Jing's sharp eyes, he can naturally see the disadvantages of the magic crystal implantation method.

This way of relying on external objects and obtaining extraordinary power through surgery is destined to not be popularized on a large scale.

Exchanges like this are almost the same as blank tickets.

But this is the only extraordinary opening made by the mysterious man of Blue Star.

If you fail to grasp it, there may be no related opportunities in the future!

You should know that the mysterious man directly caused the mold to lose trillions of dollars in Japan.

If the wealthy mold knew that only hundreds of billions of dollars of arms could be exchanged for the way to obtain extraordinary power.

It would definitely be very happy.

Compared with the bald eagle that harvested the entire blue planet, the bear seemed to be short of money.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be discussed.

Reasonable suggestions should be made by think tanks and professional staff.

Increase the harvest and reduce expenditure as much as possible.

Afterwards, Pu Jing chatted with Chen Xuan for a few more words, and then enthusiastically invited Chen Xuan to have lunch.

At the same time, he said that he would give an accurate answer within two days.

Chen Xuan had no objection to this. It was good to get such treatment.

During this period, no one asked about Zoya's whereabouts.

Instead, Chen Xuan took the initiative to mention that Zoya would leave the bear's intelligence department in the future and follow him from now on.

In response, Pu Jing just smiled awkwardly but politely.

Compared to what both sides are talking about.

A young KGB specialist is nothing.

When Big Brother and the Bald Eagle Butterfly fought, countless elite agents died.

When the competition was the most intense, they even carried out mutual cleanup wars in some areas.

Compared with that time, the loss of only one specialist is almost negligible.

Zoya has no relatives. She has been trained as a special specialist since she was a child. She has undergone a steel stamp operation. Her life span and personality are very different from those of ordinary people.

It is difficult to have an ordinary life. It is no exaggeration to say that her original trajectory in this life has been determined, even if she did not fall on the Blue Star Mysterious Man.

In the end, she will be sent to Western Europe to participate in activities.

So it may not be a bad thing for Zoya to follow Chen Xuan.

Lunch was held in the Kremlin.

They have always had a state banquet menu prepared for distinguished foreign guests, as well as the tradition of hungry Ruth state banquet.

The dishes include: Karelian frogfish with fresh cucumber salad, black truffle king crab balls, stewed duck borscht, citrus ice dew, Murmansk cod with vegetable rolls, streaky beef with smoked mashed potatoes, and raspberry mousse.

The drinks are the 2022 wines "Dongpo" and "Xipo" from the "Divnomorskoye Winery" of the Hungry Ruth Winery.

Pianist Denis Matsuev played Rachmaninov's works on the spot.

Vladimir and Pujing, the heads of the Protocol Department, hosted this rather formal reception.

Except that it was not open to the public, the specifications were basically the same as those for entertaining foreign staff.

And although this reception was not open to the public, the other four Chang rice must have channels to know the relevant news. I don't know how many people will be unable to sleep tonight.

The most sleepless one is the bald eagle.

They are all ready to suffer losses, but the Blue Star Mysterio just won't come.

The extraordinary power is regarded by some of its internal think tanks as the hope of launching the fourth productivity Ge Ming.

In order to maintain its dominant position, the Bald Eagle must be at the forefront of Wuchang rice!

Only in this way can the glory continue to be maintained.

However, the Blue Star Mysterious Man does not seem to like them!

Fortunately, the Mysterious Man also did not go to Xia Country, which made the Bald Eagle feel a lot more comfortable.

As a countermeasure, they can only order the nails deployed on the side of the bear to get detailed intelligence at all costs!

The state banquet was held in the multi-faceted palace in a ceremony hall of the Grand Kremlin.

The bear personnel attending the state banquet were important figures who directly participated in the talks.

Chen Xuan ate Murmansk cod with vegetable rolls.

The cod with a single side slightly burnt was tender and fragrant, and the bottom was cod skin and vegetable shreds.

The overall taste was very rich.

The cold appetizers were caviar and cold ham.

The dishes were served in order according to the menu.

In fact, these dishes were just for Chen Xuan.

They could not fill his stomach at all.

After the meal, Pujing took Chen Xuan to visit the Grand Kremlin.

The entire Kremlin is a complex of buildings.

But only the classic Building No. 1 can always be called the Grand Kremlin.

They stayed until the evening, and Chen Xuan declined the invitation to stay overnight and chose to leave.

He took Zoya and Vaino to disguise themselves and mingle in Moscow.

They had a good meal in the restaurant.

Russian food is similar to traditional Western food, but also a little different.

It can be said to have a different characteristic.

Two days passed by eating and shopping like this.

Pu Jing finally gave a reply.

At the same time, the list provided by Chen Xuan was modified.

The BM-21 multiple rocket launcher system was directly cut in half.

But the number of RPGs increased by 50%.

Chen Xuan needed to provide 20,000 first-order magic crystals, 12,000 second-order magic crystals and 6,000 third-order magic crystals.

After some tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a deal.

Since Mao was unwilling to let him get too many BM-21 tickets for free, Chen Xuan just paid for it.

Pay with gold.

By the way, he also promised to give Mao Xiong several advanced fighters and military equipment of the mold for disassembly and research.

There is no need to worry about the magic crystal.

For Chen Xuan, this in and out is almost zero cost.

As a "biological material" produced by magic beasts, magic crystals were once widely used in the manufacture of magic arrays, magic artifacts and equipment.

The function is similar to the current magic core.

In fact, it is not as easy to use as the magic core.

Because the magic cores extract pure magic power when they are used for forging!

But the magic crystals contain elemental magic power!

Therefore, since the appearance of the magic disaster, the magic crystals have been sitting on the bench and have become a reserve material that no one cares about.

You should know how vast Naroa is.

There are tens of thousands of intelligent races alone.

That's why it is called the "Ten Thousand Races Alliance".

How many of those unintelligent magic beasts are there?

Even if they are hunted by cave monsters and intelligent races, the number is still huge.

And magic beasts, like monsters, are the main way to obtain magic materials.

They have been hunted steadily for so many years.

Apart from other things, Magtan City alone has hundreds of thousands of magic crystals of different levels.

Their value on the market is one level lower than that of magic cores of the same level.

You can't get much money by cashing them out.

In the early days of cross-border, Chen Xuan discovered that magic cores and various magic metal coins can basically achieve interoperability.

The value of a first-level magic core is basically the same as that of a black iron coin.

In other words, the value of a first-level magic crystal is not even as good as that of a black iron coin.

Ataxlog has hundreds of millions of this stuff in stock, all of which are stored as substitutes for magic cores.

But it has never been used.

Because the magic cores obtained through war and capital are enough to meet the consumption.

Especially the magic crystals below the fourth level are worthless.

In this case, according to the list Chen Xuan gave to Atax.

Only an RPG rocket launcher is needed. You can exchange for thousands of low-level magic crystals.

If you exchange for magic cores, I am afraid you can't exchange so many.

This is also one of the important reasons why Chen Xuan chose the magic crystal implantation method.

Not only is it controllable, but it is also low-cost.

On the other hand, he used gold to order an additional 200 BM-21s from the Russian Bear, plus matching ammunition.

The two sides finally reached a consensus.

And the Russian Bear also prepared 10 volunteers to participate in the test.

They are all elites selected from the Russian Bear army.

Volunteer to participate in this experimental project.

The operation was performed by Chen Xuan himself.

Actually, it is not complicated.

Just do the element sensing test in advance.

Although not everyone's element sensing can meet the requirements of casting,

but everyone's sensing power is always different among many elements.

You need to choose an element system with the highest sensing power, and then implant the magic crystal with the corresponding elemental power.

For this purpose, Chen Xuan also prepared a simple seven-color sensing stone.

It can roughly detect the element sensing talent.

You should know that the element is the color of the external appearance.

For example, the earth and soil system are brown.

The water system is blue-white.

The thunder system is azure blue.

The frost system is pure white, and the fire system is orange-red.

You can know which elemental magic power it is by the corresponding color.

The talent is like this, and the magic crystal is already.

Chen Xuan asked ten volunteers to take hypnotic potions separately.

Then he took them back to the manor.

After testing the most outstanding element sensing talent separately.

Take out the scalpel and make a small incision next to the heart.

No disinfection, no treatment.

Just put the magic core of the corresponding element into the wound, and something wonderful happened.

The magic crystal directly merged into the body of the experimenter.

The first experimenter's more prominent elemental sensing category is fire.

So when the magic crystal merged, it emitted orange-red light.

The light mixed with flesh and blood and slowly merged into the body.

The wound healed naturally.

This is the reason why the wound was temporarily transformed into an elemental form locally.

So the operation itself is not complicated, it can be said to be a fool-proof operation.

The initial success rate of 70% is not too low.

After the volunteer was implanted with the fire magic crystal, sweat beads suddenly appeared on his forehead.

On the face with his eyes closed, the expression became a little hideous and painful.

The fire magic crystal transformed into elemental power was pumped to all parts of the body by the heart.

Chen Xuan, who was standing next to him, could see that the blood vessels under his skin were emitting orange light.

Those lights formed extremely clear trajectories as the blood vessels were connected.

The whole change lasted only a few minutes.

Chen Xuan stood by and observed the situation.

If the implantation failed, the elemental magic power integrated into the body would suddenly explode.

The whole body will explode like an overwhelmed water balloon.

When the orange light dissipated, the pained expression on the volunteer's face gradually disappeared.

His breathing was still steady, which made Chen Xuan nodded.

This guy was lucky and successfully integrated into the first-level fire magic crystal.

Chen Xuan woke him up and conducted a simple test.

That magic crystal comes from a magical beast called the Flame Rat.

Therefore, the implanter's physique is very average.

But he masters two kinds of fire magic skills.

They are a volley of fire bombs that continuously fires fireballs, and the ability to turn part of the body into flames.

The part of the body that is turned into flames is immune to physical attacks to a certain extent.

But the mutual restraint of the elements will also become apparent.

Using water or something with a freezing effect can cause huge damage to the flaming body.

After a simple test of his ability, Chen Xuan was quite satisfied with the results.

Such extraordinary strength does not exceed the standard.

At least Blue Star society itself has a lot of means to deal with him.

However, if subsequent levels of implantation are carried out, the strength improvement may become more obvious.

Chen Xuan then started a new round of implantation.

The bear's luck was pretty good, with only two of the 10 test volunteers failing.

The bodies of the two failed guys were burst by the elemental magic.

The full name of the implantation process is videotaped for future reference for the bear. This is also a condition of exchange.

Among the 8 people who survived.

There are 2 fire-type implants, 2 water-type implants, 3 earth-type implants, and 1 natural-type implant.

Chen Xuan still kept an extra hand.

When choosing, we did not use mutated elements such as thunder, wind, and frost.

They are all common mutually restraining elements. In Xia Guo’s terms, that is, the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.

Such a concept is not difficult to understand.

Compared with mutated elements, this common element is easier to restrain.

The most important thing is that the number of related types of magic crystals is also larger and more common.

So from the beginning, Chen Xuan had no intention of handing over good goods.

After he was done, he handed the surviving volunteers and video materials to the bear.

The two sides agreed to hand over the first batch of ordnance supplies three days later.

At the same time, Chen Xuan also paid Mao Xiong approximately 50 tons of gold, with a total value of approximately 5.2 billion knives.

Mao Xiong's arsenal is operating at full capacity, producing BM-21s and RPGs for Chen Xuan.

Today's RPGs all use new technology fiberglass, which is about the same strength as the original, but lighter in weight. Anyway, RPGs will be scrapped after a certain number of rounds.

It is unrealistic to expect it to be used as a family heirloom.

And to be fair, RPG has little technical content.

The cost is not high, so it has become one of the three guerrilla artifacts that are popular in Blue Star.

So when Maozi offered RPG, he agreed very happily.

This squad support weapon has been in stock for decades.

If you set up any production line, you can produce more than 100,000 pieces every week.

This is even more true as for rockets, which are also called rocket-propelled grenades.

The overall cost is just over a hundred dollars.

It lives up to its reputation of being cheap, affordable, easy to use and not expensive.
