I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2473 2472: Cosmic Mine, Elken Basin
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
Therefore, regarding the arrival of Gongsun Muya, Xu Zimei was very formal about it.
Under normal circumstances, Gongsun Muya would only seek out Xu Zimei if there was something important.
Upon seeing Xu Zimei, Gongsun Muya spoke directly, "Sir, I have already designed the second generation of the aircraft carrier, but there are a few issues now."
"So fast!"
Xu Zimei was a bit surprised.
One must know that the first generation of the aircraft carrier had just been made.
He had led people to campaign against the Giant World.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the campaign ended, the second generation version had appeared.
It can only be said that Gongsun Muya's efficiency is indeed high.
But it is understandable.
Design and manufacturing are two different things.
The aircraft carrier is enormously large, requiring a draft to be designed first, followed by feasibility verification.
Only then can construction begin.
In these few steps, if there is even a slight mistake, it would be a waste and would have to start over.
That is precisely why Gongsun Muya's speed can be so fast.
"What problems did you encounter?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Materials," Gongsun Muya said directly.
"For the manufacture of the first generation aircraft carrier, we used materials from our own Divine Continent.
And they were already the best materials."
"But from my recent conversations with King Qingzhi, and dismantling their previous aircraft carrier."
"I found that, in terms of materials, they use Cosmic Crystals for the manufacture of their aircraft carriers."
"Cosmic Crystals?"
Xu Zimei was a little puzzled.
But he still asked, "Explain in detail, what are Cosmic Crystals?"
"They are a kind of resource that is unique to the cosmos."
"Its crystal hardness and tenacity exceed any material, and it is a product unique to the cosmos.
It is also the most suitable material for making weapons."
"Where can we find Cosmic Crystals?" Xu Zimei asked again.
"Cosmic Crystals are generally produced in Cosmic Mines.
These ores are extremely scarce."
"All resources are currently controlled by the six large worlds."
Gongsun Muya explained.
"According to my vision for the second generation aircraft carrier.
Firstly, in terms of materials, Cosmic Crystals must be used.
Only then can there be iterative advancement."
"Okay, I understand, I will resolve this issue as soon as possible," Xu Zimei said.
After sending off Gongsun Muya, he ordered people to bring over King Qingzhi and asked specially about the Cosmic Mines.
King Qingzhi seemed prepared in advance.
He took out a map.
Marking the location of all the surrounding Cosmic Mines.
He smiled and said, "Cosmic Mines are extremely rare things.
They are condensed from special energies in the cosmos."
"Currently, our understanding of these ores is limited, only knowing that they are the best material for weapon crafting.
Better than any material from any world."
The Divine Continent, being a large world, naturally has the right and qualification to enjoy Cosmic Mines."
"It's just that now, the Cosmic Mines are already owned by someone."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Are you going to find new Cosmic Mines, or are you going to take the risk of snatching others' Cosmic Mines?"
"You previously said that all Cosmic Mines are held by large worlds, doesn't the rest of the worlds have any objections?" Xu Zimei asked.
Although the other worlds are not as strong as the large worlds, if they unite, they form a considerable force.
"How to say, most of these Cosmic Mines are enjoyed by the large worlds.
But they will leave a very small quota for those medium-sized worlds.
It is considered a balance."
King Qingzhi explained.
"As for the small worlds, they have no qualification to enjoy them."
"Even if they unite in opposition, it is to no avail, the large worlds do not fear them at all."
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
Recruit medium worlds and suppress small worlds.
This is indeed a good approach.
He looked at the map that King Qingzhi handed him.
The closest Cosmic Mine to the Divine Continent is only 30,000 light-years away.
A so-called light-year is a unit of measurement for the cosmos.
Because, in the cosmos, the distance between worlds is too vast.
The kilometer metric is difficult to calculate.
Thus, the light-year is introduced as a new unit of measurement.
30,000 light-years is equivalent to circling the Divine Continent three times.
Even so, this is the closest Cosmic Mine.
"Whose jurisdiction does this Cosmic Mine belong to?" Xu Zimei asked.
"The Demonic Spirit World," King Qingzhi replied immediately.
"This is the Elken Basin, a very perilous place in the cosmos."
"This Cosmic Mine was discovered 180,000 years ago."
"And after some contention, it was occupied by the Demonic Spirit World."
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
He said, "In that case, first occupy this Cosmic Mine, organize other forces to form a united army, and head toward the Elken Basin."
"Should we negotiate with the Demonic Spirit World first?" King Qingzhi inquired.
It is known that the Demonic Spirit World is also a large world.
This world uses magic as its main strength, and the most powerful Magic God is a Heavenly Grade strong figure.
If the Divine Continent were to truly go to war with the Demonic Spirit World, the outcome could likely be mutually destructive.
"Negotiate?"
Xu Zimei sneered slightly.
He said, "In the face of absolute interest, negotiation is meaningless."
"Moreover, negotiating in advance will prepare them, and it will take more effort to secure it."
"We act by surprise, occupy the place first, then negotiate slowly."
"It's your call, I will inform others as soon as possible," King Qingzhi replied.
Although his acquaintance with Xu Zimei is not long, he has truly grasped the other's nature.
Incredibly domineering, preferring to betray others than let others betray him.
So in everything, acting first ensures strength.
Seeing King Qingzhi leave, Xu Zimei squinted slightly.
He understood, battles at the cosmic level are even more brutal.
Only through repeated bloody battles and victories in numerous campaigns can one establish their position.
The Divine Continent, being new, needs to maintain good relations with others while also establishing authority.
This balance, Xu Zimei must grasp well.
Simply seeking harmony is useless, sheer dominance is ineffective too.
Giving a blow, then offering a sweet date, is the best way.
......
The forces within the Divine Continent moved quickly.
Almost as soon as Xu Zimei gave his instructions, all forces were on high alert.
The only obstacle at present is the lack of sufficient aircraft carriers.
Even just the first generation of aircraft carriers, Xu Zimei found as scarce.
The main reason is time.
With fewer aircraft carriers, he cannot send many people to the Cosmic Mines.
Meanwhile, among the worlds in the Extreme East.
The invitations to Xu Zimei's banquet have already been sent out.
Upon seeing the invitations, the various forces had different reactions.
