Chapter 523, The Charm of the Black Box

Gu Hang agreed to Chen Haixu's request.

Aren't they just three black boxes?

Except for Wu Jiarong, the other seven main sages were given one each, so they were not reluctant to give Chen Haixu three more.

There were only ten black boxes in total.

In the past, he would never dare to reveal that he had black boxes.

Not to mention trading directly with the Mechanicus.

Looking at the eyes of these Mechanicus sages, one by one, shining when they heard about the black boxes, you can see how much they crave for this thing.

In order to obtain the black boxes, they can even put aside the interests of the sect.

Or in other words, in their cognition, obtaining such a pile of black boxes is more important to the sect than more than forty worlds, plus strengthening their own military strength.

In fact, the fact is very likely to be true.

If Gu Hang was relatively weak before, he would really worry that after the news of his possession of the black boxes spread, he would be directly forced and robbed by force.

Even if he said that he had voluntarily "handed it over", Gu Hang could not explain the source of the black box. Under the lie, he might be easily subjected to further scrutiny, thus exposing a bigger problem.

The rights of the weak will not be protected. The oil men will not let go of any possibility. It is just a matter of spending a little more effort. If you search carefully, maybe you can find a new black box?

The low probability does not prevent you from trying.

But Gu Hang is no longer the same as before.

Do you have a glimpse of the black box?

Do you want to use some means openly or secretly?

You can try.

With the morality of the Mingyang Sect, they cannot win in a war, and they cannot get the black box in the kingdom of the subspace by investigating and robbing secretly. What else can they do?

In fact, if it were not for the special nature of the Mechanicus, Gu Hang would not be polite to them!

If he really used tough means, Gu Hang would have enough power to force them to surrender.

Forcibly occupy more than 40 worlds outside Jindi Star, expel the rulers and garrisons of the Mingyang Sect; blockade Jindi Star, cut off the supply of raw materials; harass orbital starports and shipyards, and force the suspension of starship manufacturing...

I am afraid that there is no need to really go to the point of full-scale war. Just trade cuts and siege sanctions are enough to deal a fatal blow to the Mingyang Sect.

Not doing this is nothing more than tying them to their own chariots in order to avoid political troubles.

These oilers are really good at production. Jindi Star, as a forging world, is the most productive place in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region.

Otherwise, Gu Hang would not be willing to pay ten black boxes.

These ten black boxes, Gu Hang took out are technologies that are currently of very low value to the alliance.

For example, the G series rifles, the Wanderer armored vehicles, the Whetstone engines...

And all of them are finished black boxes.

These low-end products with very high demand simply use finished black boxes to pull out standard products, which is of little practical significance. It is enough to have the mother machine black box to pull out the production line.

What's more, the production lines of these products can be made by themselves without black boxes.

In fact, these black boxes were obtained by the alliance relatively early, and Ms. Wu Jiarong had already "played" with them many times.

Since the actual use is relatively weak, it is also a good use of them to trade.

For the Mingyang Sect, the output of the black box itself is not that valuable. It's nothing more than some flawless rifles, low-end engines, and armored vehicles. What's the high value?

However, the technology contained in it has another meaning.

In the eyes of the oil men, those "perfect products" contain great mysteries. Observing, studying these products, and replicating them will directly help them with the same technology; these perfect processing methods can further inspire their technical capabilities.

This is just the help brought by the perfect products produced by the black box.

The black box itself is of great significance. If it can be dismantled...

Oh, no one dares.

The reason why the black box is a black box is that the technology contained in it cannot be understood at all. If it is dismantled, even if it is only a little bit, it cannot be put back, which means that the black box is completely scrapped.

The few dismantling learning experiences of the black box within the Mechanicus so far have proved this point. Even the most outstanding sage cannot restore even the simplest black box.

Doing so is a huge waste.

But it is undeniable that every time a black box is dismantled, it is a huge technical inspiration.

But Gu Hang will not allow them to do so.

Gu Hang told them clearly that these black boxes are only rented, not given. Moreover, this kind of rental is exclusive, and the sages are not allowed to exchange or borrow each other.

The rental period varies, but when it expires, the alliance will take it back to ensure that there is no problem with the black box.

If the contract is violated, not only will a huge compensation be paid, but at the same time the alliance will also blacklist the sage and will no longer cooperate on black boxes in the future.

The former, the oil guys may disdain. If there is a huge technical improvement, how about I dismantle it? The sky-high compensation will be paid, it is not that I can't afford it. Even if they really cannot afford to pay, it is easy for them to lose control of their hands when they get crazy and itchy.

But the latter condition can calm down the craziest oil man.

It is obvious that the black boxes owned by the Alliance are more than ten.

In order to have other, even higher-level black boxes to study in the future, the sages of the Mingyang Sect must grit their teeth and control their hands no matter how much they can't control themselves.

For Gu Hang, with the relatively strong power that he has developed now, the Mingyang Sect cannot use force to attack; and the value of the black box to the Mechanicus can hold them firmly.

This is the way he considered to tie Jin Dixing to his chariot.

And further, Wu Jiarong will become the representative of Gu Hang's will.

After all, Gu Hang can't stay in Jin Dixing for a long time.

Wu Jiarong will shoulder this responsibility.

In the future, she will also manage all the black boxes rented by the Alliance to the Mingyang Sect.

This is a huge power.

Now it was just tied to the chariot. When Wu Jiarong gradually built up her own influence in Jin Di Star through the black box management rights, then Gu Hang's previous expectation of "stealing" Jin Di Star would have a way to be realized.

So far, Gu Hang has basically completed all the work of his trip to Jin Di Star.
