Chapter 478: Red Tai Alloy

Four days later, the Royal Airport of the Blood Candle Empire.

As a small country on the edge of the alliance, the Blood Candle Royal Airport really has nothing to write home about. It is even much simpler than the Denver Interstellar Airport on Earth. However, the whole piece of red Tai alloy on the ground still attracted Xia Fei's attention. Not a little interested, this light alloy is a good material for building warships, but I don’t know why the always barren Blood Candle Empire would use this expensive light metal to build an airport.

"Did you have a smooth trip along the way?" Constantine said as he stared at Xia Fei's coagulation-class frigate. This hybrid warship had a wonderful leech-shaped design, and it contained murderous intent in its low profile, which made his eyes light up.

Xia Fei shrugged, "The gravel belt and electromagnetic storm are the natural barriers of the Blood Candle Empire. If it weren't for your star map, I would have to go around a long way to get there. From this point of view, your kingdom is easy to defend. The best place to attack.”

"My father's kingdom." Constantine gently corrected Xia Fei's slip of the tongue.

Xia Fei smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "It's his now, but it may not be the case in the future."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the city first. My father will host a banquet for you in the evening. Seriously, how did you get that Juenian-class aircraft carrier? Even when the border guard station reported that a flagship had entered the territory, My father was also frightened, thinking that a powerful enemy was invading."

Xia Fei smiled and said: "Since I'm here to cheer you on, I naturally have to set the stage a little bigger. After all, it's also beneficial for me to have you in the position. We have a mutually beneficial relationship."

Constantine knew very well that people like Xia Fei would never trust anyone easily, and he was far from being Xia Fei's best friend. The reason why Xia Fei was willing to do this favor for him was entirely for profit.

Outside the airport, soldiers drove a simple Feiyan 7-type hover vehicle. This civilian-type hover vehicle had a decent appearance. Not to mention luxurious, the simplicity was simply a bit too much, and it was not consistent with the identity of Prince Constantine.

However, Xia Fei soon became indifferent. Constantine has always been low-key. When they first met, he was dressed as if he came out of the slums. Now that he has returned to his own country, he still wears simple clothes and treats others without any airs. It seems It turns out he is a very people-friendly person.

The soldier handed the car keys to Constantine. Xia Fei observed carefully and found that every soldier at the Royal Airport really had a disability. Either an arm or an ear was missing. These soldiers were strong and strong, and they talked like thunder. Same, showing good cultivation skills.

"Don't look at it. I've told you a long time ago that the Blood Candle is a cursed place. All those with powers have disabilities, and those without disabilities are all ordinary people."

Xia Fei nodded and got into the compact Feiyan hovercar. Constantine didn't have a driver either. He revved the engine a few times and quickly drove onto the highway leading to the imperial city.

There are many wastelands on both sides of the road, with no grass growing. When the wind blows, yellow sand fills the sky. The occasional passers-by are mostly poor people in tattered clothes. It is dilapidated and barren. This is Xia Fei's first impression of Blood Candle.

"Is there a lot of wasteland in the Blood Candle Kingdom?"

"How should I put it? If we relied entirely on land to grow crops, most of the Blood Candle people would have starved to death. Fortunately, we have a large amount of red Tai alloy production, which is the kind of metal you see laying floors at airports. Every year, the alliance uses food and daily necessities A large amount of alloys were exchanged, and the kingdom was maintained because of this," Constantine said.

Xia Fei said: "Hongtai alloy is a good material for making key parts of the engine. The price is not cheap in the alliance. How can you Blood Candle people be poor when you have such a large amount of precious minerals?"

Constantine said: "Because our place is a cursed place, everyone is the descendant of criminals, and the blood of sinners remains in the veins. The past presidents of the alliance have never believed in the Blood Candle Man, so there will be restrictions on exports. Every year, we can There are a lot of alloys being traded, but the prices are kept very low.”

"What about smuggling? Smuggling alloys can be a huge profit. Why don't you go deal with those smugglers?"

Constantine smiled bitterly and said: "The three-star realms of death each have their own unique outputs, but the waterway has never been smooth. Those smugglers went directly to the closer three-star realm. It will take longer time and energy to detour around the blood candle, so They would rather go to star areas like Black Abyss and Evil Gulf Stream to carry goods than take the risk to come to Blood Candle.”

Xia Fei nodded. The Jedi Star Territory is already remote, and the Blood Candle is located on the edge of the Jedi. Without a route map, it would take a full forty or fifty days to arrive. Therefore, transportation is indeed a serious problem, and we can only rely on the alliance to send it. of the official trade fleet.

With a smile on his lips, Xia Fei looked at the barren land outside the window and had an idea in his mind.

"Nowadays, the expansion of the Jedi Star Territory requires a large amount of high-grade metals. We can make a deal and exchange Blood Candle's Red Tai alloy for food and daily necessities." Xia Fei said in a deep voice.

"This is a good idea, but Hongtai Alloy is a high-grade metal that the alliance restricts trade. Aren't you afraid of being sued if you take the risk and bring it to the alliance?"

Xia Fei smiled and said: "Who said I want to ship to the Alliance? At present, the Jedi's metal supply mainly relies on large-scale mining and smelting barges. Our own metal processing plant is still under construction. There is still a certain gap in metal production and use. Hongtai Alloy has It’s lightweight and hard, so it’s a little too luxurious to use it for construction, but it’s not impossible. Anyway, you have so much alloy, it’s all used for flooring, so it’s not too much for me to use some to build a house.”

Constantine nodded heavily and said: "That's very good. It's a pity that Xuezhu doesn't have a strong family background like you. Otherwise, it would be very good to build this starry sky. When you see your father tonight, you have to discuss it carefully with him. That’s it.”

Xia Fei shook his head, "It's not me, it's you."

"I?"

"Yes, now is the critical moment for you to accumulate capital. Completing this trade is considered an achievement in the eyes of your father."

Constantine suddenly realized that Xia Fei was giving him a favor. If this deal was completed, it would be a heavy weight for him to inherit the Blood Candle Empire in the future.

The ghost guessed Xia Fei's thoughts and said from the side: "Building a house with expensive red Tai alloy? Are you lying to a stupid boy? When the alloy arrives, you will definitely store it first and use it for the construction of warships in the future. If the quantity Even if it’s enough to build a Titan, it may not be enough.”

Xia Fei smiled and said nothing. The Titan-class battleship has indeed become a worry for Xia Fei. He knows that this kind of battleship has the top strength in the universe. Even the Law Warriors are afraid of it. He also has the design drawings, but there is nothing he can do. Construction started, which was a serious blow to Xia Fei.

Xia Fei gave Constantine a big gift package as soon as he arrived. He was obviously in a good mood. The vehicles were driving like Blood Candle City. The guards saluted Constantine respectfully and then let him enter the city.

"Even the city walls are made of Hongtai alloy? Blood Candle's alloy production must have reached an astonishing level." Xia Fei said exaggeratedly.

Constantine sighed: "There is no way. The Blood Candle Empire has a total of three planets for human survival. The most common is red Tai ore, so a large amount of alloys are refined from local materials. Not to mention the city walls, you see, many people's The houses are made of red alloy.”

Xia Fei looked out of the car window. Sure enough, many street shops, from signboards to tables, chairs and benches, were all made of red Thai alloy. If this was placed in the Alliance, it would definitely be labeled as extravagant, but in the Blood Candle Empire , is a manifestation of poverty. Only the rich can afford to live in brick-and-tile houses.

Although the Blood Candle King's City is large, it shows signs of dilapidation. There are beggars, drunkards, and prostitutes everywhere. The barbarity is evident. Two big men on the street got into a fight over a disagreement. One of them took out a knife and stabbed his opponent directly in the chest. , and immediately blood flowed all over the ground. The soldiers standing aside just glanced at him and didn't ask any questions at all.

"In Blood Candle, private fights are legal. Even if you kill someone, you don't have to go to jail. On the contrary, the weaker party will be laughed at by the people." Constantine explained: "It is very embarrassing to have no strength in Blood Candle. After all, our folk customs have always been strong, and we have the popularity of supernatural powers far beyond the league. Look at the beggar on the street. He is a former warrior who later ended up living on the street because of alcoholism. "

Xia Fei nodded slightly, "I finally understand why no one will fight for this starry sky. Even if we take down the blood candle, we can't manage so many supernatural warriors, let alone warriors who are used to fighting and killing."

"Speaking of which, since Blood Candle has such a strong army, why has it never conquered this starry sky?"

Constantine pointed to the west of the imperial city and said: "Six hundred miles to the west is the symbol of the Blood Candle Empire, the Cursed Tower. The reason why it is called the Cursed Land is because of the existence of this tower."

"The Blood Candle Warriors have the highest warrior ratio in the entire alliance because of the tower. It is also because of this tower that 90% of the Blood Candle Warriors are disabled. Once they leave this starry sky and the Tower of Curse, the Blood Candle Warriors will become We are no different from ordinary people, so we are destined to survive here.”

Xia Fei was surprised. A tower could actually determine human abilities and physical disabilities. If you move too far away from it, the abilities would disappear? This is simply unimaginable!

"Why is this like this? What is the mystery of the Tower of the Curse?"

Constantine said: "The blood candle man's superpowers are not due to practicing the Star Art or taking the genetic optimization fluid, but are obtained in exchange for the Tower of Curse."

"Every Blood Candleman will be sent to the Tower of Curse after birth. If he is physically disabled when he comes out, it means that the curse has taken effect. He uses part of his body to gain powerful abilities for himself. In the barbaric Blood Candle Empire, , it is difficult for a person to survive without force, so children will be given special powers at an early age in order to gain the ability to protect themselves as soon as possible. "

"Families who get superpowers, especially fighting superpowers, will be happy because from now on there is another warrior in the family. Most of the few children who have not got superpowers will be abandoned by their parents, become street children, and eventually die miserably. This is the fate of the Blood Candle Man," Constantine said tragically.

Xia Fei nodded slightly. In order to survive in this desolate land, the Blood Candle people indeed paid a higher price. Perhaps it was because of this that the Blood Candle Empire became a special existence of the alliance, despised and cast aside by the world. Even this starry sky is called the Cursed Land.

"What a magical tower. If I have the chance, I really want to see this Cursed Tower." Xia Fei looked to the west and said to himself.

"It's very simple. I met my father tonight and I will take you there early tomorrow morning." Constantine said nonchalantly: "If you are not afraid of being cursed."
