At this moment, human diplomats are visiting Riley's home - the world's big forest!
Yes, these so-called "world trees" are their hometown. These plants are too big. The largest tree has a diameter of more than 30 meters and a height of 200 meters. The crown above has a diameter of more than one kilometer. It is simply a miracle in life!
He had never seen such a huge tree and was stunned for a moment and a half.
Most Riley nobles lived in the hole in the top tree. The middle and lower poor lived in the middle. Only low slaves lived on the ground. A whole set of ecological system with "World Tree" as the core is simply novel and interesting.
Every creature here is good at jumping and gliding.
Due to the lack of sunshine and humid air, there are a large number of shade loving plants in the lowest land. Slaves cultivated these shade loving plants for a living, or went to more distant grasslands to grow food.
Even if the world tree dies and falls, its decay rate is very slow, which has become a very good building material. Ordinary people can live safely as long as they dig a hole in these huge logs.
It sounds like a fairy in a fantasy novel!
All the reporters were busy with joy. "Click click" took photos and sighed that it was a worthwhile trip.
However, the appearance of Riley people is really not very good. On the contrary, they are a bit like big bats. Leather wings and eyes grow on both sides like birds. Due to low productivity, many Riley people still bare their bodies. Only some upper class people have the habit of wearing clothes.
When all Riley people see human beings, they will frantically crawl on the ground. Yelling.
Although I was very embarrassed at the beginning, it was useless to explain, and this team could only let it go.
Feeling the wonderful culture and grotesque religious ceremonies of Riley people, this kind of trip is quite pleasant. Wang Junpeng was surprised to see the surrounding journalists, writers and painters... Sometimes he was very happy to go to places behind human beings.
He knocked on the branches of these trees. They were as hard as steel, especially the core part. They were very tough.
"The hardest wood on earth is iron birch."
"In the former Soviet Union, iron birch was used to make rolling balls and bearings, which were used in speedboats. We can see its high hardness. In addition, the iron birch has a magical characteristic. Due to its high texture density, the iron birch will sink rapidly as soon as it is put into the water. Even if it is soaked for a long time, its interior can still remain dry. "
"I don't know how hard these so-called world trees are compared with iron birch... The key is that they are still so large and grow well, which is very favorable. They are a material comparable to metal."
Wang Junpeng saw that some indigenous Riley people were processing dead world trees. The tree core was the most tenacious part and was widely used to make all kinds of cutting tools.
He picked up a thumb thick tree center and broke it hard, but it didn't break. You know, he's wearing Power Armor now!
Then he made another effort to break it before he could bend it.
A nearby expert said, "without this natural material, the Riley people would still live in the stone age. These high-strength wood can basically replace metal and can also be used as weapons after grinding. "
"However, no matter how hard this material is polished, it is impossible to polish its luster. So in the eyes of the nobility, it seems a little mediocre. "
Of course, human beings do not need to envy these natural materials so far. Human alloy technology and nano materials have almost reached the upper limit of conventional materials, which are far more powerful than these natural materials.
But biologists still study this wonderful world tree. In their eyes, this plant is much more interesting than Riley people.
At this time, several Riley officials came in a hurry. It can be seen from their clothes that their status was quite high.
"Dear human Messenger, this way, please. Our king is inviting you ahead... "
"OK, no problem."
As Wang Junpeng walked, he sorted out his ideas.
After meeting each other's king, he just bowed slightly with human etiquette culture, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Dear king, Hello, we are human civilization from afar, coming with peace and goodwill. We abide by the principle of equal and free trade. Everything can be bought and sold, as long as you can pay the corresponding price... "
"Human... Messenger, I have a big worry. What is the cost of destroying other countries? " The king did not ink, and said anxiously, "ambassador, I wonder if other countries will propose such a deal and whether it will destroy our country..."
Sure enough, Wang Junpeng's eyes twinkled
worry?
The king was clearly testing whether he could make such a request.
"This damn civilization will make these messy deals to satisfy its evil desires."
He could not help but doubt that he was a bit like a demagogic devil.
After thinking for a few seconds, he replied, "we humans follow the principle of equal value trading. If you can afford it, there is no problem with this transaction. "
Hearing his answer, all the dignitaries and nobles took a breath.
Wang Junpeng continued: "of course, for us, life is equal. If you ask us to kill an aristocrat in cassion, as a price, we will randomly select an aristocrat in your country and take his life... Oh, that is to hand it over to the devil. If you ask us to destroy half of the population of cassion, we will destroy half of your civilization at random. "
"We treat cassion equally."
I'm kidding. Of course, mankind didn't come here to kill, or to help one party win the war
So don't think about it!
All the nobles were breathless, and of course they couldn't afford the price. Pick a noble at random and take his life. Who knows if you will pick it on yourself?
Listen to each other's tone, it must not be heaven, but hell!
Wang Junpeng continued: "we are a peaceful civilization. We came here mainly to understand your country's culture and history, not to erase the lives of others. Here, I have a list of transactions that you can consider carefully... These are what we need. For example, a hundred different classics can replace a metal knife, the lives of a hundred slaves, and a set of metal tableware. "
"We will give you whatever you can provide... This is a great reputation of human civilization. Whether it is primitive civilization, low-level civilization or high-level civilization, everything is based on the principle of voluntariness, and we will not force it."
In this list, there are a large number of trading items with clearly marked prices, and children and old people are not deceived.
"Yes, yes! We are all willing! " The king just looked at the list and his eyes were almost staring out!
