MTL - The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons-Chapter 222 Intense and Exciting Auction

  Chapter 222 An Intense and Exciting Auction

  The auctioneer from the 003 neutral force acted like a robot, very straightforward, and only waited for a minute or so before starting the auction of the second lot.

"The second item in this auction is the high-level relic - the Blade of Huntress Ai Feilina. This object comes from the treasure of the hunter family of the ancient civilization of the Milky Way. It is said that it is held by the 1954th generation female head of the hunter family. Treasure, once used this treasure to hunt and kill a giant starry sky beast."

   "Relic Effect: Holding this treasure, all ships under your command will receive an additional modifier of +25% shield damage!"

   After a pause, he slowly announced the price of the treasure:

   "The starting price of this item is 200 billion cubic meters of refined steel, and each increase should not be less than 1 billion cubic meters of refined steel. Please bid now."

  As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately bid 220 billion square meters.

  The next second someone raised the price by 10 billion cubic meters.

   Immediately afterwards, another bid was made, and the price climbed rapidly, and the rising speed was even higher than the mother chip of the last Doomsday Light, and soon reached 400 billion square meters.

Li Qing was not in a hurry, and watched with great interest the bids from bigwigs from different races. Affected by the room insulation materials, he did not know who was in these rooms, or what race they were, but he could be sure that All of them are big figures from various races, and it might not be surprising that there is a military lord sitting in any room, or even a Star Sea lord.

  This Relic

  Li Qing was a little interested, but not very interested. He set an expected price for himself, and if it exceeded the expected price, he would not shoot.

  Although it is said that the auction items here are all good things and can be used by himself, it is impossible for him to take all of them by himself.

  So many bigwigs from different races come rushing to this five-year super auction, and you have to buy everything by yourself, which will definitely make everyone unhappy.

  Although auctions have always been for the highest bidder, eating alone will definitely cause dissatisfaction.

  Besides, you ate alone, and all the treasures are on you alone, so it is hard to guarantee that no one will think about it.

Although this auction will guarantee the personal safety of the guests, it is only within the 003 galaxy, and there is no guarantee if they leave the galaxy. All the people present are big bosses. Maybe there will be some special means to track them. He dare not take that risk .

  So Li Qing's idea is to only buy a small part, only the few treasures that are extremely critical to him and urgently needed, and the rest can only be discarded, and we can wait for the next auction.

   Anyway, every five years.

  The price of the relics rose rapidly alternately, and after about ten minutes, it had risen to 1,060 billion cubic meters, which had exceeded his psychological base price of 700 billion cubic meters.

   Didn't wait too long, and about five minutes later, after a guest of an unknown race in a certain room bid for 1.25 billion cubic meters of refined steel, no one bid anymore, and the final price was equivalent to 487 trillion stars.

   Immediately after the third lot, a set of mother chips for all weapon accessories below the flagship, excluding battleships, a full set of fifth-generation technology.

  Before the exchange, he must have won it with all his strength, but unfortunately he already had it, so he could only watch others bid.

  Ten minutes later, it was won by an unknown customer at a price of 14,000 trillion cubic meters of refined steel.

   Then there is the fourth lot, which is sold in packages of 240 billion foreign civilizations.

  The auctioneer projected this race in front of everyone, showing and introducing its advantages at 360 degrees.

This is a humanoid race, which should have evolved from some kind of bird. It has wings on its back and can fly on its own. There are still tiny feathers in the back of the hair, and a cluster of large feathers like a crown on the top of the head, which looks like a beautiful decoration.

  The hands and feet have also evolved from the rigid fingers of birds to flexible hands and feet. There are three fingers that are extremely flexible and can manipulate complex weapons or instruments.

  It’s pretty good purely in terms of evolution, but

  Considering the situation of his territory, Li Qing finally gave up his plan to buy it.

  I bought 34 billion tauren coolies plus cannon fodder before, and the territory itself already has about 37 billion Orb people, plus more than 20 billion cyberhumans, the population has exceeded 90 billion, which is already a lot.

  Now the main race of the territory itself is out of balance, and with 240 billion alien races, the proportion of the main human race will be further reduced.

   Besides this, the most important reason is that there is nothing outstanding about this birdman race.

   In terms of combat power, it is not as good as the tauren.

  Although they can fly, the advantage of being able to fly in the interstellar era is far less important than in ancient times.

  In terms of wisdom, both Orbs and humans can use it.

  In terms of appearance, not to mention humans, tauren are more pleasing to the eye than birdmen. They are just birdmen, not angels.

  So, after thinking about it, Li Qing gave up buying.

   Not long after, when it was the turn of the fifth lot, Li Qing cheered up immediately.

   "For an ancient relic box, 100 billion cubic meters of refined steel will be auctioned, and the price increase will not be less than 1 billion cubic meters each time!"

   "I want this!"

  Li Qing directly offered a double price of 200 billion square meters, which immediately caused the windows of several rooms to fall, and several vague figures looked over.

Boxes are purely based on looks. Although ancient relic-level boxes generally don’t have a bad guarantee, the possibility of getting top-quality items is not high. Therefore, after another bid, he directly reached the price of 300 billion square meters. No one bids.

  The next one is a total of 10 million units of dark matter, with a starting price of 500 billion cubic meters.

  According to the price comparison, it is equivalent to about 20 million star dollars per unit of dark matter, which is worthy of being an ultra-rare resource.

  General military masters can’t get this thing. Generally, only advanced civilizations that have mastered high-level energy can collect it, or some ordinary sixth-level lords can find a way to collect a small amount.

   This thing is of no use to ordinary military masters, because they cannot use it. It is only useful to those star sea lords who try to study and master high-level dark matter energy, because many researches related to high-level energy need to consume dark matter.

  This is quite tasteless to Li Qing, at this stage, he doesn't even have the military master's technology, so there is no need to think about getting any dark matter.

  Besides, there is a high probability that the competition for this thing on the spot is the Star Sea Lord, or the top military lord, why is he a little lord to join in the fun.

  So, he sat and watched them bid back and forth, rising steadily, and the price soon exceeded one trillion cubic meters of refined steel, and continued to rise.

   It wasn't until half an hour later that the dust settled. A guest of an unknown race bid 1.6 trillion cubic meters of refined steel to win the 10 million units of dark matter.

   "Next is the seventh lot, an unknown star beast egg from ancient ruins, with a starting price of 1,000 billion cubic meters of refined steel."

   "Next is the eighth lot, from ..., with a starting price of 800 billion cubic meters of refined steel."

   "Next is the ninth lot, from... The starting price is 1.2 trillion cubic meters of refined steel."

   It can be clearly seen that the value of the auction price is getting higher and higher as you go further, and the increasing rate is getting more and more exaggerated.

I soon saw that a certain lot was a living planet. It turned out to be a three-type living planet. After the transformation, the livability has been greatly improved, and it has been developed. At the northernmost tip of the arm, in a powerful civilization territory called Ferosa Federation.

This civilization called the Firosa Consortium is located in the eleventh star field of the Perseus spiral arm, the Tianzhu star field. Its territory covers the entire Tianzhu star field and accounts for half of the twelfth star field Azsuna star field. This planet of life is located in the northern part of the twelfth star field Asuna star field.

  Anyone who takes a picture of this living planet will also be eligible to join the Ferosa Federation and become a member of its noble senate.

  When a civilization is suffixed with a union, it generally means that this civilization is composed of multiple species, not a single species.

  For example, the Shata Tribal Union originally consisted of eight civilizations.

  Bruvan United is composed of more than a dozen different civilizations.

   Well, except for the United Empire of Humans, but although there are no other species, there is a coalition government composed of a large number of large and small warlords.

  And the United Empire of Mankind belongs to the player civilization, and cannot form a joint civilization with other civilizations.

Next, the auction continued, and one after another the incomparably precious treasures were put up for auction. Li Qing was dazzled by the sight, but he didn't bid on most of the unimportant items. heat.

   But there are too many good things. Although I have repeatedly said in my heart that I have to hold back, when some good things are photographed, he still can't help it.

For example, the fifteenth lot is a super Rubik's Cube of order 108. It is called the Mysterious Rubik's Cube, which has been spread among the various tribes in the Galaxy. The mother star of the super civilization that dominated the entire galaxy, and inherited all the legacy of the super civilization that dominated the entire galaxy.

  According to the auctioneer, this thing appeared more than one million years ago, and has experienced hundreds of owners, but no one can unlock its secret.

Normally, this thing is enough to be the finale, but the reason why it is not the finale is that this thing is too old, and no one has ever been able to unlock its secrets. In addition, the legend is just a legend, and it cannot be confirmed to be true, which leads to its value. can not confirm.

  If the legend is true, the value of this thing is higher than the value of all the items in the entire auction combined.

   But if the legend is false, it would be a scam.

The key point is that no one has been able to solve the secret for more than a million years. Its previous owners are all big figures such as Star Marine Lord or Star Sea Lord. This has caused everyone to put a big question mark on the authenticity of this thing. .

  The starting price was only 5 trillion cubic meters. After Li Qing increased the price to 8 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, no one raised the price, and he easily won it.

   "Ma's, who is this, so rich?"

  Hundreds of people competed for a mere dozen or so lots, and he took four by himself. No matter how low-key he wanted to be, he couldn't keep a low profile.

  If it weren’t for the fact that all the people who can participate in this super auction are bigwigs of various races, and there are many Xinghai lords among them, if it were an ordinary auction, a bunch of people would definitely come to check Li Qing’s identity.

  The sixteenth lot, another high-end treasure.

  The seventeenth lot, a special token, which can communicate with an immortal existence in the void, ask him to make three shots.

  The eighteenth lot, a talent package composed of 585 purple names plus 28 orange names plus 2 gold names of alien geniuses, including scientists, naval commanders, army generals, and administrative-related talents.

  Here, Li Qing gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't hold back and offered a first-hand price.

  No way, talent is rare, the time span for those newborns in the super livable zone to grow up is too long, at least twenty years or more, it can't wait that long.

The starting price of this thing is 5 trillion yuan, but there are very few bidders. There are only two people who bid, and it is still 10 billion 10 billion plus. Li Qing paid 6 trillion yuan, but no one bids again. It is a small mistake. .

It is estimated that everyone knows that he is rich, and the bid is fierce, but this thing is only useful for new lords like him. Eight orange names have some value.

   But it is a pity that the naval commander they need most is not among the two gold names, and this value has been discounted.

  In addition, these are all alien races, and the value has been discounted.

There is no need to question why the dignified golden name is worthless to these bosses. Generally speaking, even a scientist with such a golden name is very valuable, especially the golden named naval commander, who is talented and skilled. Its value will be higher.

  The key point is that they cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of their subordinates, and they are not like Li Qing who can be turned into a servant of light to guarantee absolute loyalty.

  For example, Jin Ming’s naval commander is so talented, if he is allowed to lead a huge army for a long time, such as a hundred years, two hundred years, what will happen?

  Humans cannot marry with these alien races, not to mention the huge difference in appearance, reproductive isolation alone determines that marriage cannot be used to guarantee loyalty.

  If loyalty cannot be guaranteed, and you have to be careful, who dares to put military power in their hands with confidence?

You must know that any rules are learned through **** lessons, and it is not that there have been rebellions before, so only small lords like Li Qing dare to use these foreign talents, and the real military leader is cultivated by himself talent.

  To be honest, if it weren’t for the two gold names and the 28 orange names, this batch of talent packages wouldn’t be worth the price at all.

  He bought it entirely on the basis that the two gold names could be converted into negative stars. If there were no two gold names, he would not bid at all.

  What the **** was the purchase of those Hull people from the Thunder Cloud team, and they also had two gold names, so how much did it cost?

   But from this we can see the importance of the platform. If the Leiyun team is eligible to participate in this super auction, the original wave will be dead.

"Next is the nineteenth lot, a standard division fleet from a powerful civilization in the Galaxy, including two Titan super flagships, two super aircraft carriers, fifteen dreadnoughts, ten flagship aircraft carriers, one Ten thousand battleships, thirty thousand cruisers, fifty thousand destroyers, two hundred thousand frigates, one hundred thousand logistics ships."

   "For all six-level technologies of the fleet, but not dark matter or other high-level energy, the starting price is 30 trillion cubic meters of refined steel."

   "Ooh!"

  The starting price alone exceeds the sum of the top ten lots.
