Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Unit price 1 billion!

This includes the cost of the weapons, each one costing 900 million, and the deployment cost of the Lingxiao Tower system, each one costing 100 million.

The Major disclosed some news: "I heard that, because these are experimental items, the top brass gave the Banan Kingdom a very big discount.

"Banan Kingdom is desperately trying anything in its distress; without Great Xia’s assistance, this frost disaster is sure to cause massive casualties.

"Although it’s uncertain how effective the Wind Stabilizing Pearl is in curbing the frost disaster, the Ban Nan People have no choice but to accept it.

A soldier laughingly interjected: "Whether the Wind Stabilizing Pearl is effective or not, Banan Kingdom really has no choice.

"After all, the frost disaster causes terrifying casualties; it’s often as high as six figures, with entire cities wiped out completely.

"In the event of severe losses in the capital Balia, as soon as the media reveals that Great Xia has weapons to counter the frost disaster but Banan Kingdom doesn’t want to pay, their leadership is sure to be ousted."

The Major nodded: "Exactly! That’s the point!"

The officer continued: "I’ve also heard that if the Wind Stabilizing Pearl’s experiment is successful, Great Xia’s future international quote will start at at least 3 billion per piece.

"According to calculations by the Ghost Lord and Spirit Crow Lord, the frost disaster is highly likely to last for over a year.

"Conservatively estimating, over 150 frost disasters will erupt across cities of various countries combined.

"With an average deployment of 5 Wind Stabilizing Pearls per frost disaster, Great Xia can sell at least 750 Pearls.

"Multiplying that by the unit price of 3 billion, that’s a minimum revenue of 22,500 billion Xia Yuan.

"If the effect is good enough, the sales revenue of the Wind Stabilizing Pearls could reach 4 trillion or 5 trillion, which shouldn’t be much of an issue."

The room was immediately filled with gasps of awe.

Someone asked: "The Wind Stabilizing Pearl is the only black technology weapon capable of fighting the frost disaster; I think 3 billion per piece is too low, even 10 billion wouldn’t be expensive."

The Major shook his head: "Of course, it could be sold for 10 billion each, but Great Xia must consider the issue of its image.

"The frost disaster is a catastrophe shared by all humanity; if we earn too ruthlessly at such a time, what’s the difference between us and the Carmenians?

"3 billion is a price most countries can accept; on one hand, it establishes Great Xia’s image, and on the other, it demonstrates to the world that Great Xia is truly a technological high ground."

Someone else asked: "Including the research costs, what is the actual cost price of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl?

The Major shook his head again: "This is confidential! How could a mere Major like me possibly know?"

He thought for a moment and added: "From a theoretical standpoint, since the project was initiated and the experimental shells were manufactured within such a short time frame, the cost can’t be very high; later, it’s at most 1 billion each, and selling at 3 billion is a truly huge profit."

Another question arose: "First it was Lingxiao Hall, then the Golden Cudgel, and now the Wind Stabilizing Pearl has emerged. Will all new Great Xia weapons be named after mythological references in the future?"

The Major laughed: "It’s very likely! I think it’s a good thing; mythological names sound both nice and formidable."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A soldier shouted: "Report! The Wind Stabilizing Pearl has been deployed! It is expected to reach the target area in sixteen minutes."

Everyone’s faces were full of anticipation.

The Major immediately ordered: "Monitor closely!"

"Yes!"

On the other side of Canglan Star.

Banan Kingdom.

Capital Balia.

Just as the Wind Stabilizing Pearl was deployed, Yang Fan immediately sensed it.

He leisurely sat atop the roof of a shabby vintage car, looking up at the high sky.

His eyes flickered momentarily, and he immediately saw six rapidly descending black technology weapons.

As a top lord, Yang Fan naturally knew all the ins and outs of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl since its initiation.

The person who proposed the principle of such a weapon was someone few would believe.

Because that individual is none other than the master of Xia Medical Theory that established the Superpower Era—a great Xia healer, Ma Youde.

In the Dream Realm, Dr. Ma is equally a historically renowned figure.

He merely died a few years later by accident, but the Ma’s Qi Meridian Theory he created changed the world.

To avoid the tragedy of the Dream Realm from repeating, Yang Fan deliberately visited Ma Youde under the name Spirit Crow more than six months ago.

Honestly speaking.

An elderly Xia medical worker, over ninety years old, proposing a principle for a black technology weapon even amazed Yang Fan.

The core material for manufacturing the Wind Stabilizing Pearl is precisely the mutated substance Ma Youde has been researching.

Namely, a type of mutated asphalt extracted from the oil fields of Luotuo Kingdom, which is also a first level Exotic Material—Fiery Pitch.

The first frost disaster on Canglan Star erupted in Dongli Kingdom, resulting in millions of deaths and injuries.

Ma Youde was deeply worried about this and feared a similar tragedy might unfold in Great Xia.

This nonagenarian worked tirelessly for a few days, amazingly developing a method specifically targeting Extreme Cold Qi.

Later, individuals at the Superpower Research Institute saw this theory, conducted simple tests, and found it genuinely feasible.

Thus, the Wind Stabilizing Pearl was born.

"Hoo!"

The wind roared fiercely.

Compared to just now, the wind intensity has clearly become more violent, causing the vintage car under Yang Fan’s seat to sway slightly.

This is another omen before the arrival of the frost disaster.

Yang Fan retracted his gaze and looked toward a building in front, his expression somewhat peculiar.

This is a gang’s stronghold.

According to his observations, the facilities within the stronghold are very well-equipped.

The gang has dug out a considerable underground space, capable of supporting at least 1,000 people.

Inside, there are high-powered generator sets and dedicated heating boilers, with enough fuel reserves to last for a month.
