Chapter 414, Astronomical Tribute
"Baicai, how is your energy shield research going? Although our empire's attack is powerful, but in terms of battleship defense, if there is no energy shield, we don't have enough confidence to deal with the Kolov Empire."

Li Fu thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Bai Cai. Bai Cai is an expert in the Empire's energy weapons and is also the person in charge of researching energy shields. The "Starlight" spaceship captured by the Empire from the Oaks civilization was handed over to Bai Cai. hands.

"With ready-made things for us to refer to, if I still can't research the energy shield, I'll kill myself with tofu. In fact, I have already researched the energy shield technology."

"It's just that we have been upgrading the energy protection technology. The space battleships sold by the Kolov Empire to the Oaks civilization can only be regarded as very ordinary energy shields, and the energy consumption is very large. As long as the attack reaches a certain level, more A few waves of attacks can wipe out all the energy of the battleship."

"In addition, when the energy attack reaches level 8, this energy shield will be broken by a direct attack, and it will have no effect at all."

Bai Cai smiled and reported his research results. As an expert in the research of energy weapons, when the "Starlight" universe came into his hands, the scientists of the Imperial Energy Science Institute quickly pierced through the energy shield. The last hurdle of technology, the scientists of the original empire were almost about to develop the energy shield technology, and it was natural to learn quickly with the ready-made finished products available for research.

"How about our own energy shield technology? Can it be compared with that of the Kolov Empire?"

When Luo Xiaoyao, the representative of the military, heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"How about the energy shield technology of the Kolov Empire is not yet estimated, but judging from the energy shield technology on the space battleships they sell, our current energy shield technology is higher in terms of energy consumption and defense power." There is more than one level of strength."

Bai Cai said slightly proudly.

"Great, as long as there is an energy shield, heh, what Korov Empire, I feel very uncomfortable seeing their arrogance."

After hearing this, Yu Liang grinned happily.

"You still can't be careless, install energy shields on all the space battleships of our empire as soon as possible, and be ready to fight the Kolov Empire at any time. After all, the Kolov Empire is a bully on the Orion spiral arm, even if it is your If the army doesn’t move out, other Level 3 cosmic civilizations can work for them.”

Li Fu also nodded silently after listening, he already had a bottom line in his heart.

……

On the other side, here in the Three Beads Galaxy, after a few hours, Zhu Yeyang finally arrived at the space port area.

"Mr. Aderson, what a negligence, please return Haihan."

Zhu Yeyang looked at Adrosen with a displeased face, and said with apologetic expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't expect your civilization's hospitality to be quite special."

Adrosen suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a slight displeasure on his face.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhu Yeyang to receive Adrosen in the port hall like Su Lin. This time, he took out the hospitality of the Chinese nation and held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome Adrosen. In terms of level, Zhu Yeyang and Adrosen are at the same level of their respective civilizations, so it is not considered rude.

But for Adrosen and others, they felt insulted. Not only did the emperor of the Yanhuang Empire not come to greet him, even the upper echelons of the Yanhuang Empire didn't even have a heavyweight figure over. The empire is in the eye.

However, for this mission, Adrossen has been holding back and not having a seizure. This time, one is to collect tribute, and the other is to find out the real situation of the Yanhuang Empire. These two missions are the most important. of.

On the luminous star of the Three Beads Galaxy, in the Governor's Mansion of the Three Beads Galaxy.

"Mr. Adrosen is here from afar this time, what is your business?"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yeyang looked very kind, and somehow thought he was receiving his old friend.

"It's like this. According to the rules since ancient times, on the Orion spiral arm, as long as there is a civilization that reaches level 3, then it needs to pay tribute to our Kolov Empire every 1000 years. The current strength of your empire has reached Level 3 cosmic civilization, so this time, I came here specifically to collect tribute."

Adrosen's face was very ugly, and he felt that he had never been so aggrieved. In the past, when he went to any civilization to collect tribute, where he had to say it himself, the other party would be very wise to prepare the goods that needed tribute, and continue to pay tribute. I want to please myself and give myself a lot of gifts, so that if I feel better, I can add a little more.

But when he came to the Yanhuang Empire, Adrossen felt as if he had become a beggar. He said over and over again that he was a beggar, and he also talked about things from ancient times in order to make himself look more righteous.

"A tribute? I've heard other level 3 cosmic civilizations say this. I don't know how much our empire needs to pay tribute?"

When Zhu Yeyang heard this, he nodded slightly, with a look of sudden realization, which made Adrosen gnash his teeth even more.

"According to the rules of our Kolov Empire, because your civilization is paying tribute for the first time, there may be more. Your civilization needs to pay tribute worth 100 trillion yuan of our Kolov Empire."

Adrosen coldly reported a figure of 100 trillion. Originally, the general level 3 cosmic civilization only needs to pay 50 trillion tribute at a time. However, what happened to the empire made Adrosen very sad Not happy, so he doubled directly.

In the past, Adrossin went to a certain civilization to collect tribute. If he felt bad, it was common to add 10 trillion. Don’t think that this 10 trillion is a trivial matter. This is set by the Kolov Empire. Those who pay tribute according to the standard, just like here in the Three-Jewel Galaxy, everything is decided by the empire.

The rule that a meal of steel costs 1 imperial yuan is even more so in the Kolov Empire. It is naturally impossible for the tribute team of the Kolov Empire to come all the way to bring back a pile of steel. It is a precious resource, a special product, etc., but there is no doubt that the price must be set by the Kolov Empire.

"100 trillion?"

Zhu Yeyang raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

"Then I don't know if you can tell us the detailed list of goods and prices. In this case, we can also calculate whether our empire can make up the amount required for the tribute."

"of course can."

With a wave of Adrosen's hand, someone immediately sent a message to Zhu Yeyang with a computer. Soon, a detailed list of goods appeared in Zhu Yeyang's hands, and the list was quickly passed to the emperor. In the hands of Li Fu and other high-level officials in the empire.

In the virtual chat world, Li Fu, Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Tu Xueli and other high-ranking officials of the empire took a detailed list and looked at them carefully. Just seeing the beginning, they all couldn't help but sneer.

"This Korlov Empire is really sucking the bones. A ton of gold is only worth 1 Krov dollar. To collect the 100 trillion tribute, it is not enough to dig out the gold on the entire secondary spiral arm."

Looking at the list on the list, Tu Xueli couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"This Adrossen brought more than 1 large spaceships here. If they are not full, how can they go back easily? Tsk tsk, they actually offered 3 tons for the price of He1. Could it be that they have mastered the controllable nuclear spaceship?" Fusion technology?"

Chen Bin also smiled, seeing the price of He3, he couldn't help guessing.

"It's not necessarily that they have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology. The Kolov Empire has controlled the channel from the Orion's spiral arm to the center of the galaxy. It is also the only civilization that can go to the center of the galaxy. I think there must be civilizations in the center of the galaxy. Mastering the controllable nuclear fusion technology, this He3 can make a lot of money once it is resold."

"1 one ton is really black-hearted. Our empire's acquisitions are not as black-hearted as they are. This is still a tribute, and there is no cost at all. Once you open your mouth, others will obediently deliver the goods according to their rules. Going up, this little life is too comfortable."

Li Fu quickly read it from beginning to end, and smiled coldly.

"Of course it's comfortable. I calculated it obediently. Based on the price listed above, if the 100 trillion tribute is converted into the currency value of our Yanhuang Empire, it is almost 100 billion imperial dollars."

Yu Liang's face was full of anger at this time. He did a simple calculation just now and got an astronomical figure of 100 billion. Such a huge number, even if the empire is now rich through interstellar trade, but If you want to take out such a huge cargo, you must definitely peel off the skin.

"Ten billion billion? Damn, our empire won't even give them a single stone."

When Cao Haitao heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately burst into foul language.

"That's right, don't give them a single stone, what, send a fleet to open their mouths and ask us to pay 100 billion yuan. There is such a good thing in the world, and I want them to pay us 100 billion yuan. .”

Tu Xueli also said categorically that if the 100 billion was paid up as a tribute, the empire would not be able to relax in the next few hundred years.

"Haitao is right, we won't give them a single stone."

"Tell Zhu Yeyang to tell Aderson to get out of here early, our empire won't give them a single stone."

Li Fu's face was also full of anger at this time, such a huge amount of wealth, the empire also needs to spend a lot of money to get it out, the Kolov Empire is too greedy.

PS: Thank you for the reward of a cup of coffee made with water. I’m lazy these days, so I haven’t added it all the time. It seems that I still owe a lot of updates from book friends, especially the leader’s tip.
