Chapter 366 Iron Gladiator

Undoubtedly, the idea of ​​using gold to buy metal has failed!

Many people mistakenly believe that after humans have the ability to sail interstellar, the prices of some precious metals will become as cheap as radishes. In fact, many people have fallen into misunderstandings.

Indeed, humans have discovered planets constructed from pure gold and diamonds, but these planets almost all have a common feature, with very high density and irresistible gravity. It is difficult for human spacecraft to land. Many equipment will collapse directly on it and cannot be mined at all, or the cost of mining is very high.

Of course, the output of human gold is still very considerable. However, because gold has a luxurious color that most metals do not have, a huge population base with a strong possession of gold plus the wide use of gold in industry, gold has always been one of the most solid hard currency and practical metals.

Compared with other metals, the superiority of gold is difficult to replace, because gold has a color comparable to the sun, symbolizing wealth and status; the ductility of gold is not comparable to other metals. 1 ounce of gold can be pulled into 50 miles long, and its ductility makes it easy to cast, making it a good choice for making jewelry; in addition, its forgings are second to none, which can create extremely thin and easy-to-roll gold sheets. 1 ounce of gold can be hammered to 1 foot thick and 100 square feet thick and 100 square feet in size. Ancient people hammered it into thin sheets to pounce on temples and palaces for decoration; it is said that 1 ounce of gold can be used to cover the roof of a house... In the application of technology, gold has extremely high heat transfer and electrical conductivity, and pure gold is the best electronic conductor material. With such high-quality performance, it is difficult to be replaced by other metals.

There is no need to doubt that no matter how high the output of gold is, it cannot meet human demand for gold. Therefore, gold will never be as priced as a carrot.

Now, the fact that gold is cheaper than iron is placed in front of everyone.

Is this planet rich in gold?

People couldn't help but feel excited when they smiled bitterly. Since the gold on this planet is so low, wouldn't it be a big profit if an interstellar commercial route be opened?

Unfortunately, Burley's next question instantly extinguished people's dreams, and the gap was like a roller coaster ride.

"How many gold coins do you need for your living expenses in a year?" Burley's question cuts to the topic. Generally speaking, the actual value of a gold coin can be measured by purchasing power.

"Ah... how many?" Wei Xiong opened his eyes wide and looked at Burley's face in surprise.

"Well, is there a problem?"

"One gold coin is enough for my living expenses for a year."

"Are you sure?" This time it was Burley's eyes widened.

"Of course, I can't spend a single Y-type gold coin in a year of food, drink, defecation and urination." Wei Xiong nodded affirmatively, as if in order to prove that he was not lying, he also made a swearing to the sky.

“…”

Everyone was speechless again. It seemed that it was impossible to smuggle gold. Things were very obvious. There was no abundant gold here. The only reason iron tools were more expensive than gold was that they were strictly controlled by government departments. The main reason why gold was not restricted may be because gold was too soft and was not suitable for weapons. Moreover, the cost of gold making weapons was too high that ordinary people could not bear it.

...While everyone was chatting, some individual tents had been packed, and everyone ate some breakfast such as nutrient solution and then did some preparations for the departure.

Now, Liu Fei has two goals: first, find the metal repair needed; second, or find a spaceship that can fly interstellarly.

From the present point of view, the first point is very difficult, and it can be imagined from the degree of control of the authorities over iron tools; as for the second point, it is difficult to speculate, because so far, no high-tech products have been seen from this planet, and the things that Wei Xiong carries are no different from the ancient earth.

What is confusing is that Wei Xiong seems to be familiar with spacecraft, and it seems normal to have some high-tech things that Liu Fei and others have. Although he is a little curious, it is not that kind of ignorant worship. After asking, everyone knows that all the young and old in Weijia Village know that there are many planets in addition to the ideal star. Moreover, they seem to be familiar with the history, culture and economy of the ancient earth. According to Wei Xiong, the Wei family's ancestral hall also preserves paper books basically from the ancient earth, and Liu Fei's familiar "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and the Three Kingdoms are also included.

However, what surprised Burley and the others was that, except for those few books, the source of their scientific and technological information was not from books, but was actually passed down by word of mouth. Moreover, this method of word of mouth has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. No wonder this information seemed fragmented. Not to mention the information passed down from word to mouth for hundreds of years. With the character of human beings who add branches and leaves, even after being spread by more than a dozen people, a message would become unrecognizable. What's more, hundreds of years, the ancient information can still remain basically the same, which is extremely precious.

Half an hour later, the camp was processed, and even the location of the bonfire was burned, and no signs of camping were seen. The only regret was that Wei Xiong had cut down the isolation belt that had destroyed the vegetation and could not be restored to its original state.

Watching everyone clear the camp, Wei Xiong was stunned. After that, he kept observing and finally praised him.

Finally, the camp was handled and a group of people embarked on the journey.

Just as everyone was about to cross the backbone of the dry land in the swamp area, Liu Fei suddenly made a move to silence.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

It seemed like a rolling thunder sound came, with a very powerful aura, which made people inexplicably feel a sense of fear.

"No, it's the armored gladiator cavalry!"

"What is an armored gladiator cavalry?" Liu Fei looked solemn. Before he could see someone, he felt the heavy and fierce aura. Moreover, from Wei Xiong's fearful face, he could also be sure that the other party was not a good person.

"That... Anyway, it's very scary, let's avoid it..."

Wei Xiong's legs were trembling, and his strong body moved towards the woods with difficulty. However, Wei Xiong immediately stopped because Liu Fei and the others did not move, forming a triangular battle formation like a sculpture. At the top of the triangle was Liu Fei holding a scimitar. The fifty people behind him were holding an exquisite metal block in their hands. There was a black hole in the metal tube at the front of the metal. There seemed to be an invisible energy pulsating inside the metal tube.

Is it a laser gun?

Obviously, that is the legendary laser gun!

Inexplicably, Wei Xiong felt extremely excited, and his trembling legs did not tremble anymore. However, he still took a few steps back and found a place to carefully hide the head of the sword-horned beast in his hand and the bag of ferocious rat bone pieces behind a stone. This is all his possessions!

In addition to his fanatical admiration for Liu Fei, the fifty people who followed Liu Fei were all carefully selected versatile players. Whether it was fighting or shooting, they were all the best in Keduo Space City. Moreover, they had almost a blind trust in Liu Fei. Now that Liu Fei is as stable as a rock, they naturally would not take a step back.

Cavalry, as the name suggests, is a soldier riding a horse.

Liu Fei knew very well that the swamp and dry land here were intertwined, and it was not suitable for cavalry charges. If he retreated, the huge dry land would be given up, providing the cavalry with an open sprint area.

Liu Fei is not a person who shows off his courage, but as long as he decides, he will have the courage and determination that ordinary people can't reach.

Now, the location where Liu Fei is standing is a bottleneck area where two dry lands intersect, and only three people can pass side by side. As long as you keep this position, even if the opponent is a thousand troops, it will be difficult to get over the line...
