My future is invincible?

Chapter 18 Value

This was an era of imperial prosperity and the era of ironclad ships.

The representative of the martial virtues of this era is the ironclad ship.

Having ironclad ships can not only provide powerful firepower deterrence, but also impose immediate and severe sanctions on countries that engage in free trade. Naval gun diplomacy is far more effective than silk or tea diplomacy, and can make the local natives obediently accept the harvest of wealth.

Ironclad ship, what a good thing.

Lan Yi wants it too.

What he valued was not the military power of the ironclad ship.

"As the most efficient and most acceptable means of transportation in the ocean, the ironclad ship can help me quickly impose sanctions on Dongyang."

"Verbally protesting a hundred times is not as good as landing warriors once on an ironclad ship."

"I think if Dongyang wants to return to his father's arms, he should have a White Ship Incident. I believe that as a responsible international empire, your country should not prevent another empire from punishing the rebellious son."

Lan Yi chatted with the two foreign prisoners in front of him.

If one could ignore the blood on the two prisoners' bodies, their dazed looks, and the deep fear that could not be concealed in their eyes, this would be a very harmonious afternoon tea time.

Kent and Albert are prisoners of the warriors.

They had no right to sit down in front of Master Lan Yi, and could only have their hands tied behind their backs, standing in a respectful and humble manner under the stern and cold gazes of the two warriors.

If we say that naval gun diplomacy is the business card of the empire of this era.

The warrior diplomacy is Xinghan’s strong declaration of return to compete with human civilization.

"My dear sir, with your power, everything you said is the truth." As a hunter, Colonel Kent, who became the prey, was very tactful and complimented in Chinese.

So strong, so diplomatic...

Nong Jinsun, who was in charge of recording and explaining, exclaimed in his heart, "It's so exciting! It's so exciting!!!"

When was the last time a foreigner was so honest?

Zhu Ming or Li Tang?

Anyone who has witnessed the power and unpredictability of a warrior will have no doubt about it.

Xinghan, which has suffered humiliation in this era, will surely shake off the mud, put on the crown again and rule the world, and once again become the Celestial Empire that all nations come to pay tribute to!
And all this is thanks to this man, Master Lan Yixian!

"The empire will not give up." Albert couldn't help but mutter something in his hometown dialect.

Then he was horrified to see the stern-faced warrior beside him raising his fist.

Not long ago, it was this fist that suddenly exploded the head of the Dongyang reporter who was chattering here, and brains and blood splattered all over their faces. The cause of death was that he spoke in stupid bird language, which the honorable Immortal Master could not understand.

Albert used to enjoy the pleasure of having his enemy's blood splattered on his face.

But when he became a prisoner and the blood splattered on his face was caused by a punch in the head, Albert could no longer enjoy it. This old white man who once prided himself on being noble, brave, and gentlemanly lost his composure and squealed like a pig.

"Sir, we still have value." Kent secretly sighed at his stupid colleagues.

The extraordinary being in front of him was obviously a complete star-chaser.

Lan also raised his hand, and the warrior lowered his raised fist again.

“What are your values?”

"Mr. Albert is of royal blood, and the Empire will be happy to pay his ransom, as well as compensation for any unintentional offense against you."

"What about you?" "I can help you contact the Empire to build ironclad ships, manufacture weapons and ammunition, train crew members, and obtain hydrological data from the Empire. I am well versed in the affairs of all continents, so I can be your agent and help you and your army of paladins conquer the world!"

It's comfortable to deal with smart people.

Especially this smart man has a strong ambition for power.

In Lan Yi's colorless eyes that were emitting lotus circuits, there were very obvious waves representing excitement and desire in the outward radiation of Kent's emotions.

"So what do you want?"

"Power!" Kent said without hesitation.

Albert looked at his colleague in astonishment. This was betrayal. He actually betrayed the empire so easily. Damn it! Why did he insist on this stupid loyalty? He also wanted the extraordinary power!

A white light suddenly flashed by Lan Yi's ears, and the rope bound Kent was cut instantly.

"All prisoners are under your management. The worthless ones will be eliminated, and the valuable ones will be kept. I want to see your work report in 24 hours."

"May I ask what kind of value is valuable to you?" Kent rubbed his numb hands. If he saw it correctly, it was hair, white hair, that cut the rope.

"If you have science and technology, you can sell science and technology. If you don't have technology, you can sell your conscience. If there is nothing to sell... then just pray for good luck and some supernatural clues." Lan Yi said indifferently.

We can only blame the overall low quality of the stars of this era.

The illiteracy rate is a staggering 97 percent.

There were no power plants, shipbuilding, modern management, or qualified military equipment. In order to achieve his goal quickly, Lan Yi had considered accepting foreigners as his dogs.

Anyway, for Lan Yi, who has experienced the prosperous era of the dimensional sea, race or even ethnicity is nothing. Identifying with civilization is the main means for psychic monks to identify friends and enemies.

Lan Yi waved his hand again.

The two foreigners were immediately taken out.

“Wait a minute, I also want to betray my loyalty and conscience…” Albert’s voice was blocked outside the door.

"Master, are you not against science and technology?" Nong Jinsun closed his notes. He was a little depressed. Lan Yi was more knowledgeable than him and didn't need him to explain certain terms. On the contrary, he felt like an uncivilized savage in front of Lan Yi.

"Why should I be against science and technology?" Lan Yi asked back.

Well, you can't say that everyone thinks you are a god who has practiced hard in the mountains and forests and escaped. For the sake of personal preference and ruling stability, you would advocate military power and suppress science, right?

That’s what the Qing court did anyway.

There is nothing wrong with you doing this.

Anyway, your gift of martial arts is really powerful!

"A rifle relies on the combustion of gunpowder to generate thrust to push the metal bullet to kill. I have a Taoist technique called Steel Armor Divine Thunder, which is based on electrochemistry and ionizes steam to generate thrust to push the metal bullet to kill."

"...You mean, your Taoist magic is actually science and technology?" Nong Jinsun seemed to understand.

“When science and technology develop to a very high level, they are seen as immortal arts by those who do not know the inside story. The comparison between advanced and backward is not about the external manifestation of technology, but about the understanding and mastery of the world.”

Lan Yi looked at Nong Jinsun and found that he still didn't quite understand, so he couldn't help but feel a little bored.

An artificial world of gods that is too backward.

For a psychic like him, it is lonely, a deep loneliness without anyone like him to communicate with.
