Chapter 669: Trading with Mechanical Race

Arriving at the Mechanical Race area, Nash personally inspected each type of battleship.

Although his guide had already told him their various specifications, Nash didn’t fully believe it.

Sure enough, using his runic eyes, he saw that the Tier 8 battleship costing hundreds of billions seemed to be made of tin cans.

Although it had the power and speed of a regular Tier 8 battleship, its defensive capability was a little alarming.

Once its energy barrier was breached, it wouldn’t even have the defensive capability of a Tier 7 battleship.

"No wonder it was so cheap." Nash sighed.

Based on the runic composition of the ship, it was made of a cheap composite material that could be found anywhere in the wild void area.

The Mechanical Race was truly ingenious, able to use regular materials to mass-produce such a key weapon.

"These things are decent."

Although made of cheap materials, Nash still planned to buy a few.

Not only could they be used for defense, but Nash could also study how to create them himself.

Such a cheap production method was truly enlightening!

Anyway, each only costs a few hundred billion, which was very cheap.

Buying ten thousand such cheap battleships only costs over 7 quadrillion!

"This is very cost-effective." Nash couldn’t help but smile.

Although it couldn’t be used at the front line as it was too fragile, it was perfect for defense.

Once Nash had time, he might deduce a way to turn these things into a dark technology and cooperate with the Mechanical Race.

Of course, that was for the future, when he had enough strength to protect himself.

"I wonder how much the Mechanical Race earned from this."

Looking at the lively scene, most of the teams at the convention were buying such composite Tier 8 battleships for themselves.

Unlike Nash, who still had cause to complain, everyone was too excited to be able to buy such a cheap battleship that they couldn’t help but spend all their money.

This was not just tens of thousands of battleships per team; some top teams were even ordering millions!

Such large orders, yet the Mechanical Race easily delivered. Nash could only wonder how efficient their production was.

"We don’t earn much from these."

Suddenly, a voice answered beside him.

Turning to look, Nash’s eyes couldn’t help but widen.

"Primos?"

That’s right: one of the major leaders, Primos, the supreme leader of the Mechanical Race, was beside him!

"Nice to meet you. I’m Primos, the leader of the Mechanical Race Alliance. I presume you are Nash Navre, the leader of the Neon Star Alliance."

"I wanted to talk to you about the acquisition of the Dark Technological Battleship, the Neon Battleship."

Seeing that Primos didn’t have any bad intentions, Nash quickly calmed down.

Remembering the Mechanical Race was known for their fair and just trade, Nash nodded, wanting to hear more about his proposal.

"Sure, let’s talk somewhere private."

"Perfect. Just follow me."

Although the first floor of the Altier Arcane Tower was bare, it was easy to build some temporary rooms.

Entering a nearby building, Primos went straight to the point and stated his condition.

"I want to ask you about the manufacturing process of the Neon Battleship. In exchange, you can ask me anything you want."

"Even if I tell you about this, you can’t replicate it." Nash shook his head.

Although he was tempted by the promise, the reason he was able to mass-produce dark technology was because of his genetic ability.

"Is it made using a genetic ability?" Primos quickly guessed.

Although he had suspected this before approaching Nash, confirming it left him disappointed.

It seemed that mass-producing dark technology using pure technology was still impossible.

"I’m sorry to disappoint you." Nash just shook his head.

"In that case, I just want to order a batch of Neon Battleships."

Although they were one of the major teams, dark energy was very unforgiving.

Especially for the Mechanical Race, the dark energy miasma was very corrosive to technology, which limited what they could build.

Especially for those intricate atomic-size micro components, even the slightest exposure to dark energy would scrap them.

To deal with such a problem, they could only deploy large-scale dark energy purification arrays or technology.

Unfortunately, it was very expensive and wasn’t very effective.

Thus, hearing the Azure Heaven Alliance planned to use dark technology as an alternative, Primos approached Nash.

"How many battleships do you want?"

"As many as possible! We would order everything you could produce."

"This is impossible." Nash quickly objected.

Nash began to increasingly feel the importance of the Neon Battleship, not as a weapon but as a purification device.

Thinking of this, a new idea popped into his mind.

"I’m sure you only want to use the Neon Battleship to purify the local dark energy miasma. Then I can configure you a purification device instead of a full-scale battleship." Nash offered, thinking to do the same with the Azure Heaven Alliance.

Manufacturing a battleship was not the same as building a specific device.

Not only would it be smaller, but it would be more efficient at purification.

More importantly, Nash could scale it faster.

There was no need to worry about intricate and massive runic engraving that took up too much time.

"That works just fine. What about the price? What do you want to exchange it for? Furthermore, how much can you exchange with us?"

"I haven’t decided the price yet. However, if possible, I want to exchange it for a Tier 8 battleship or a large-scale defensive weapon."

Nash no longer dreamed of exchanging for a Tier 8 mother core ship after knowing its price.

Although he knew Primos would grant it if he asked, it was just too expensive.

If he were to exchange it, he was sure their production capacity in the coming decades would be used to repay it.

"As for the quantity, we can give everything to you. However, you need to deal with all the other teams..." Nash stated his final terms.

If even a technological powerhouse was attracted to their product, he could only wonder how many other teams would be interested.

He feared that if he traded with them directly, the Neon Star Alliance wouldn’t be far from being targeted.
