Chapter 119 Gifts
In the end of the world, no one would do too much stupidity, and the gifts brought by Nord are all very practical things.
A full ton of whale oil is a good raw material that can be used to process many chemical products.
Although a ton of dry kelp is not a precious ingredient, any food is worth reserved for the ark that is wandering on the sea.
And kelp is not so easy to collect now. Due to the geological catastrophe, the depth of the ocean on the earth once reached more than kilometers. Such an environment is not suitable for the growth of marine plants such as kelp.
However, a geological catastrophe is a long-term active process. After a period of time, the geological structures in some parts of the earth begin to rise, making the ocean depth in some places begin to become shallow to the point where kelp can grow, thus becoming a home for marine animals and plants.
However, these places are only a small part of the huge earth, and finding them is not easy or even luck.
The Nord Fleet does not know many kelp production areas, and several of them have become resource areas that must be fought for by military strategists. It can be said that they were risking war when collecting these kelp.
So even though Lu Yu's Red Dragon Fleet was not short of food, this ton of kelp still symbolizes the noble friendship of the Nord Fleet.
The Nord Fleet also presented a batch of exquisite pistols, which were created by their fleet's workshops. The style is in the classic Browning pistol style, and exquisite patterns are hand-carved on the surface, which is said to be the standard self-defense weapon for their fleet officers.
Three gifts are appropriate, either light or heavy.
As a gift, the Red Dragon Fleet's writing is also practical. It should not be too expensive but not too shabby, with the idea of the Red Dragon Fleet's characteristics.
The first gift was vodka produced from seaweed starch. Although this vodka cannot keep up with any widely sold vodka on earth in terms of quality, it is extremely precious on the wandering sea. Only Lu Yu's fleet, who has a cheating "grower" can take it out without any pressure.
Vodka is packed in large iron barrels, because now when seawater floods most of the land, both plastic and glass are luxury goods, but iron barrels seem less precious.
A total of fifty barrels of vodka weighing a total of half a ton were placed on the deck. Without the lid open, no one could smell the smell of wine, just hearing that it was vodka made the Nord fleet entourage a little greedy.
Even Nord himself couldn't help but move his throat, and his tongue couldn't straighten when he talked to Lu Yu: "Daniel, we can't repay such an expensive gift..."
At this time, someone brought two glasses of vodka, but they were just simple glass swallows. The slightly light green vodka inside emitted alcohol and a little smell of feet.
Although Lu Yu didn't like this thing very much, Nord was already greedy. Although he was the commander of the fleet, he rarely gave himself special enjoyment.
And although he had some fine wine stock, he did not dare to drink from time to time without knowing when he could return to the land or become in short supply.
Seeing that Lu Yu wanted to be polite, Nord could no longer help it, so he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and gave another glass to Lu Yu: "To our friendship!"
"Respect friendship." Unlike Nord's sip, he sniffed the wine in disgust, then pinched his nose and swallowed it in one bite, then quickly took a peanut from his carry-on space and put it in his mouth to suppress his shock.
Isn’t Moutai fragrant? But now Lu Yu is reluctant to take it out and share it with others.
"Although wine is a luxury at sea, we have a complete winemaking production line. The goods list I gave you before was listed. This half ton of wine is a witness to our friendship, and you can also try it out."
The second gift from the Red Dragon Fleet is a USB flash drive containing singing, sketches, crosstalk, singing and dancing, juggling, and magic videos created by members of the Red Dragon Fleet.
"Life at sea is quite boring, and our companions are also entertaining themselves as much as possible so that the world can not drive ourselves crazy.
It is said that the content here has reached about two and a half hours, and it is also good to use it to pass the time. Everyone is an amateur contestant. I even sang a few songs shamelessly, so please don’t dislike it.”
Lu Yu blushed when he said this, but Nord held the USB flash drive in his palm as if he had obtained a treasure: "Thank you, I have always been embarrassed about how to improve morale. I hope I can learn more useful things from you."
The third thing is also something that once looked ordinary but now seems very precious. It is half a ton of paper for writing.
Under today's conditions, most fleets may only consume stock of paper, and because of Arnold's existence, Lu Yu's fleet has a large amount of wealthy plant fibers that can be used for papermaking, making this "luxury" at sea seem less luxurious.
Exchange of gifts became a good start, but the subsequent transaction turned out to be a confrontation between lips and teeth.
After all, the next block transaction is a real business, and the value of both parties can trade is very troublesome.
Some things such as paper are something that can be produced in large quantities for the Red Dragon Fleet, while the Nord Fleet's self-producing capacity is limited, but the consumption of paper is not very large, so the price that both sides are willing to offer needs to be adjusted.
There are also food, which is obviously mass-produced by the Red Dragon Fleet. Whether the things that the Nord Fleet trades can produce in large quantities or very important consumables, also requires the Red Dragon Fleet to judge.
Both sides organized special teams to bargain, which would not affect the relationship between the two parties. Wandering on the sea, being able to quarrel and discuss business with peace of mind can even be considered a pleasure.
As the fleet commanders, Lu Yu and Nord seemed to be out of the matter.
First, Lu Yu invited Nord to visit the interior of Lu Yu's ark, and the architectural style of interstellar warships inside made Nord fascinated.
Then Lu Yu and Nord went to visit the Ark of the Nord Fleet. Relatively speaking, the Ark of the Nord Fleet did not have the same feeling of Lu Yu.
Similar to Hawk's Ark, the Nord Fleet's Ark was not made of all high-performance materials. Only important structural components use high-performance materials, while many structures still use steel.
