Chapter 414: Astronomical Tribute (A Cup of Coffee with Ten Thousand Rewards Plus More)

"Xiao Baicai, how is your research on the energy shield going? Although our empire's attack is powerful, we don't have enough confidence in the defense of the warships if there is no energy shield."

Li Fu thought about it and turned to Bai Cai again. Bai Cai is an expert in the empire's energy weapons and is also responsible for the research of energy shields. The "Starlight" space battleship captured by the empire from the Oaks civilization was handed over to Bai Cai.

"With the ready-made things for us to refer to, if I still can't develop the energy shield, I'll just kill myself with tofu. In fact, the energy shield technology has been developed a long time ago."

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

"In addition, when the energy attack reaches level 8, this energy shield will be directly broken by the attack and will not play any role at all."

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

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

The military representative Luo Xiaoyao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it.

"It is still hard to estimate the energy shield technology of the Kolov Empire, but judging from the energy shield technology on the space battleships they sell, our current energy shield technology is more than one level stronger in terms of energy consumption and defense."

Bai Cai said with a little pride.

"Great, as long as there is an energy shield, humph, what Kolov Empire, I feel very uncomfortable when I see their arrogant look."

After listening, Yu Liang grinned happily.

"We still can't be careless, install energy shields on all the space battleships of our empire as soon as possible, and be prepared to go to war with the Kolov Empire at any time. After all, the Kolov Empire is a bully on the Orion spiral arm. Even if its own army does not go out, it can let other level 3 cosmic civilizations fight for them."

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

...

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

"Mr. Adroson, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Zhu Yeyang looked at Adroson who looked unhappy, and said with an apologetic look on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

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

Adroson suppressed his anger and said with a slightly unhappy face.

Zhu Yeyang naturally couldn't receive Adroson in the port hall like Su Lin did. This time, he still took out the Chinese nation's hospitality and held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome Adroson's arrival. According to the level, Zhu Yeyang and Adroson were at the same level in their respective civilizations, so it was not considered rude.

But for Adroson and others, they felt insulted. Not only did the emperor of the Yanhuang Empire not come to greet him, but even the upper echelons of the Yanhuang Empire did not have a heavyweight figure come. It was simply not taking the Kolov Empire seriously.

However, for the sake of this mission, Adrosen has been holding back. This time, one is to collect tribute, and the other is to find out the true situation of the Yanhuang Empire. These two tasks are the most important.

On the Night Light Star of the Three Pearl Galaxy, in the Governor's Mansion of the Three Pearl Galaxy.

"Mr. Adrosen, you have come from afar this time. I wonder what you are doing?"

Zhu Yeyang had a smile on his face, which seemed very friendly. I 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 the level of Level 3, it is necessary to pay tribute to our Kolov Empire once every 1,000 years. Your empire's current strength has reached the level of Level 3 cosmic civilization, so this time, I came here specifically to collect tribute."

Adrosen's face was very ugly. He felt that he had never been so aggrieved. In the past, when he went to any civilization to collect tribute, he didn't need to ask for it. The other party would be very wise to prepare the goods that needed to be paid tribute, and he would also keep trying to please himself and give himself a lot of gifts. In this way, if he was in a better mood, he could add a little more.

But when he arrived at the Yanhuang Empire, Adrosen felt like a beggar, saying over and over again that he was begging, and even saying that it had been going on since ancient times, so that he could look more justified.

"Pay tribute? I've heard other level 3 cosmic civilizations talk about this. I wonder how much tribute our empire needs to pay?"

Zhu Yeyang nodded slightly as if he had suddenly realized something, which made Adroson even more angry.

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

Adroson coldly reported the figure of 100 trillion. Originally, a general level 3 cosmic civilization only needed to pay tribute of 50 trillion, but the experience in the empire made Adroson very unhappy, so he doubled it directly.

In the past, when Adroson went to a civilization to collect tribute, if he felt bad, it was common for him to add 10 trillion or something. Don't think that this 10 trillion is a trivial matter. This is a tribute according to the standards set by the Kolov Empire. Just like here in the Three Pearls Galaxy, everything is decided by the empire.

The rule of 1 empire yuan for one ton of steel is even more true for the Kolov Empire. It is impossible for the tribute team of the Kolov Empire to bring back a lot of steel after running all the way here. What they bring back are naturally precious resources, specialties, etc., but there is no doubt that the price is definitely set by the Kolov Empire.

"100 trillion?"

Zhu Yeyang raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

"Then I wonder if you can tell us the detailed list of goods and prices, so that we can also calculate whether our empire can get the amount needed for tribute."

"Of course."

Adroson waved his hand, and someone immediately sent a message to Zhu Yeyang using a computer. Soon, a detailed list of goods appeared in Zhu Yeyang's hands. At the same time, this list was quickly passed to the hands of the emperor Li Fu and other high-level officials of the empire.

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

"This Kolov Empire is really sucking the marrow out of people. One ton of gold is only worth 1 Kolov dollar. To collect the tribute of 100 trillion, even if we dig out the gold on the entire sub-spiral arm, it will not be enough."

Tu Xueli looked at the list on the list and couldn't help shaking his head.

"This Adrosan brought more than 10,000 large spaceships here. If they are not fully loaded, how can they go back easily? Tsk, the price of He3 is 10,000 per ton. Do they have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology?"

Chen Bin also smiled and couldn't help guessing when he saw the price of He3.

"It's not necessarily that they have mastered the controlled nuclear fusion technology. The Kolov Empire controls the route from the Orion spiral arm to the center of the Milky Way. It is also the only civilization that can go to the center of the Milky Way. I think there must be a civilization in the center of the Milky Way that has mastered the controlled nuclear fusion technology. This He3 can make a lot of money if it is resold."

"10,000 per ton, it's really unscrupulous. Our empire's acquisitions are not as unscrupulous as theirs. This is still tribute, and there is no cost at all. Once you open your mouth, others will deliver the goods obediently according to their rules. Their 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. According to the price on their list, this 100 trillion tribute is about 100 trillion imperial yuan if converted into the currency value of our Yanhuang Empire."

Yu Liang's face was angry at this time. He just did a simple calculation and got an astronomical figure of 100 trillion. Such a huge figure, even if the empire is now rich through interstellar trade, it will definitely be a lot of money to take out such a huge amount of goods.

"100 trillion? Damn, our empire won't give them even a stone."

Cao Haitao's eyes widened when he heard it, and he cursed directly.

"That's right, not even a stone is given to them. What kind of person is it? Sending a fleet over and asking us to pay 100 trillion tribute. There is no such good thing in the world. I want them to pay us 100 trillion tribute."

Tu Xueli also said decisively that if this 100 trillion tribute was paid, the empire would not be able to catch its breath for the next few hundred years.

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

"Tell Zhu Yeyang to tell Adroson to get out as soon as possible. Our empire won't give them a single stone."

Li Fu's face was also full of anger at this time. Such a huge fortune would require the empire to sell everything it had. The Kolov Empire was too greedy.

PS: Thank you for the 10,000 reward from a cup of water-soaked coffee. I've been lazy these days, so I haven't added any. It seems that I still owe a lot of book friends for adding more, especially the reward from the leader.
