Gu Qijue nodded slightly to Minister Han Yue.
Then he asked, "Minister Han Yue, is there anything you need?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yue got straight to the point and said, "We want to jointly develop weaponry and equipment with the Infinite Empire."
Her visit this time was for cooperation.
The Frozen Star Cluster is a weakened version of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization. Even the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization has chosen to cooperate with the Infinite Empire, so they certainly need to hurry as well.
Gu Qijue did not refuse Han Yue’s invitation for collaboration.
The Frozen Star Cluster Civilization has energy, raw materials, and a large population.
Not only that, but they have also accepted many talents from the Holy Race.
The Holy Race is an ancient race in the cosmic void, with a very large population base.
However, the factions within the Holy Race are very many, and they have long been in a state of each fighting for themselves.
At the height of their splendor, the Holy Race even had a situation where two powerful factions stood side by side.
That is, two Holy Race civilizations each developed to the level of Cosmic-level Civilizations on their own.
But as time has passed, the splendor of the Holy Race is no more.
The people of the Holy Race are even dispersed among various forces. Bing Lan, whom Gu Qijue saw this time, is a member of the Holy Race. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
When Gu Qijue agreed to jointly develop weapons with the Frozen Star Cluster, Bing Lan said somewhat uncertainly:
"These mechanical lifeforms should be of a very high level."
His words were incomprehensible to Han Yue.
Upon discovering that the surrounding Mechanical Crystal Ants did not have a strong offensive capability, Han Yue no longer paid attention to them.
But Bing Lan, evidently knowledgeable, made many discoveries after careful observation and analysis.
From appearance to working mode, everywhere that could be seen was perfectly showcased by these Mechanical Crystal Ants.
Moreover, after observing for a while, he discovered that these Mechanical Crystal Ants were refining Energy Stones.
This discovery was, of course, very shocking to Bing Lan.
As far as he knew, even some Super Star Cluster-level Civilizations did not seem to have this level of technology.
Gu Qijue did not expect Bing Lan to recognize the value of it.
But he did not mind, and after Bing Lan spoke, he directly said, "This is a special trophy I obtained from a previous mission."
With this statement, Bing Lan naturally could not continue to inquire for more details.
Because it was not something developed by Gu Qijue, there was no point in asking further.
Although Bing Lan was tactful enough not to ask, he had already determined that Gu Qijue definitely had the equipment to manufacture these mechanical lifeforms.
This was because many surfaces of the Mechanical Crystal Ants were very new.
The metal had not been in contact with the air for long, indicating that they had only been manufactured not long ago.
However, seeing that Gu Qijue was not willing to say more on this matter, he naturally did not persist unnecessarily.
Afterward, Han Yue and Bing Lan did not leave but instead wanted to learn more about him and see him command in battle.
However, the two of them were quickly disappointed.
Because Gu Qijue did not command the Black Stone Legion in combat, but instead directed the ants here.
Of course, their collection of resources was not all smooth sailing either.
Before long, a squad of Klein People appeared, watching them menacingly.
At this scene, Han Yue and Bing Lan both slightly changed their expressions.
"Buzz—"
Light flickered around Bing Lan, and a set of Nanomech instantly donned on him.
Han Yue, on the other hand, simply waved a hand, and blue energy transformed into a long bow and numerous Superpower Arrows.
The Frozen Star Cluster Civilization is only not adept at technology research and development, not at combat.
But before Han Yue and Bing Lan could take action, Gu Qijue nonchalantly said, "No need to act."
As his words fell, a ’Centurions’ team of Mechanical Golden Lions immediately appeared.
At the moment, they were not in the form of Golden Lion King Warriors; using the term Centurions might not be quite fitting, but knowing there were a hundred of them was sufficient.
Mechanical Golden Lions were very powerful on their own, but after a series of reinforcements and upgrades, they became even more formidable.
At this moment, the many Mechanical Golden Lions surged forward and launched attacks on the Klein People.
Han Yue and Bing Lan quickly witnessed an astonishing scene.
The other elites of the Star Cluster Alliance, when facing the Klein People, could not manage if they did not have an absolute numerical advantage.
Let alone that the Klein People appearing here this time were not ordinary Klein People, but elites among the Klein People.
But Han Yue and Bing Lan were incredibly shocked to see that Gu Qijue’s Mechanical Golden Lions could hold the upper hand even in one-on-one situations!
Han Yue couldn’t help but exclaim, "Commander Gu, can these Mechanical Golden Lions be sold?"
Gu Qijue shook his head: "These cannot be. However, the Infinite Empire has a low-end version R&D plan."
Although the Infinite Engine had long reverse-engineered the Mechanical Golden Lions successfully for upgrades and modifications,
even now, he was not prepared to sell even the first-generation Mechanical Golden Lions externally.
What he prepared for external sale were the Mechanical War Dogs.
This is a low-end version of the Mechanical Golden Lions, with roughly one-fifth the capability of the Mechanical Golden Lion.
While speaking with Han Yue, Gu Qijue also instructed the Infinite Engine to manufacture a Mechanical War Dog according to the requirements.
"Minister Han Yue, you see, this is the other type of weapon I spoke of."
Han Yue’s gaze fell upon the silver-white Mechanical War Dog and found this kind of Mechanical War Dog surprisingly nice.
She immediately asked, "So how are the capabilities of these Mechanical War Dogs?"
Gu Qijue candidly stated, "The cost of a Mechanical War Dog is one-twentieth of a Mechanical Golden Lion."
"Its combat capability is one-fifth of that of a Mechanical Golden Lion."
With these two statements from Gu Qijue, there was no need to consider other matters.
The cost-effectiveness of the Mechanical War Dogs was unbelievably high!
With Mechanical War Dogs, most of the war machines of the Frozen Star Cluster could be directly phased out.
It was at this moment that Bing Lan spoke up: "Can you also sell the complete manufacturing equipment, and all technical manuals, and carry out subsequent joint development?"
Although Han Yue is the most knowledgeable about technology in the Frozen Star Cluster, she remains a novice in the field of technology.
But it did not matter; Bing Lan understood technology.
The three requirements Bing Lan proposed at this point showed increasing depth.
Purchasing complete manufacturing equipment would allow them to manufacture Mechanical War Dogs themselves.
Acquiring all the technical manuals would enable a leap from zero to one, and from one to a hundred, technically.
If subsequent joint R&D is possible, the Frozen Star Cluster would gain even greater technological empowerment from the Infinite Empire.
Upon hearing Bing Lan’s words, Gu Qijue couldn’t help but give Bing Lan a few more glances.
The Infinite Empire was rich in talent, but clearly, other powers also had top-notch talents.
Gu Qijue, after a brief consideration, nodded and said:
"These three requests, the Infinite Empire can agree to."
"However, the Infinite Empire needs to engage in the maximum trade with the Frozen Star Cluster at the most favorable prices."
Gu Qijue’s words meant exchanging some of the Infinite Empire’s goods for the Frozen Star Cluster’s raw materials and Energy Stones.
However, during the exchange process, the Infinite Empire must see the sincerity of the Frozen Star Cluster.
