Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 716 Lin, tell me you're not kidding!

Fendona spoke, her voice clear and crisp:

"Lin Mo, we know the World Tree is very important, and we thank Great Xia for being willing to sell it to us."

"I'd like to ask, how many reactors would be ideal for one World Tree? How many could it last? How many can we buy?"

Lin Mo turned on the screen and pointed to the model, saying:

"Four units and one tree – this is the most stable configuration that DaXia has verified so far."

"A single unit can provide energy, but its growth rate, energy redundancy, and safety stability are not ideal, and it is also prone to growing out of control."

"With all four units operating simultaneously, the World Tree can have sufficient energy during its seedling, rapid growth, and adulthood stages."

"Then a single reactor can be used for at least twenty years at full power. Currently, due to production capacity limitations, each of your races can only purchase four units for the time being."

Thorin immediately slammed his fist on the table.

"The dwarves will start with four platforms!"

Grom followed up with:

"We also want four units."

Kyle looked at Lin Mo.

"The Holy Human race also purchased four units."

Fendona smiled and said:

"The Elf race also needs four units."

The reactions of various ethnic groups indirectly demonstrate their urgent desire for a reactor.

It wasn't until Lin Mo pressed the remote control that the actual product image and price were displayed on the screen.

[Small-scale controlled nuclear fusion reactor: One million gold coins per unit.]

[Standard World Tree Power Supply Package: Four units, total price four million gold coins.]

According to the trade price framework negotiated between the various ethnic groups by the unscrupulous Zhao Gang, one million gold coins were roughly equivalent to 3.3 million US dollars, which is about 21 billion Da Xia coins.

The machine costs 21 billion, but the actual material cost is very cheap, only 100 million. The high cost is mainly due to the research and development costs and cutting-edge technology.

This is nuclear fusion technology!

If each ethnic group were allowed to conduct its own research, there would likely be a series of birth year records.

Therefore, with a price of 21 billion per unit, Da Xia can only be said to be making a killing!

The meeting room immediately fell silent.

Thorin's eyes widened.

Grom opened his mouth.

Four million gold coins!

This amount is not a small sum for them.

The amount of money accumulated by various ethnic groups through trade during this period is indeed considerable.

But that was earned little by little through the exchange of ores, magical materials, forged items, rune equipment, and so on.

Now, with just one word from Lin Mo, a World Tree power supply system would cost four million gold coins!

A ball only a few meters in diameter, and it's that expensive? Was it made entirely of gold coins?

This is only what one tree needs; there are other World Trees to come.

And you'll have to replace it with a new one every twenty years, which will cost money!

The thought of this pains them.

This is not about buying things.

This is cutting off their flesh!

For dwarves, how much equipment and how many runes would that require?

For the orcs, this means selling... no, how many of their people are being employed?

The elves are doing well; they're wealthy and control quite a few energy crystal mines.

But Fendona's smile faltered for a moment, clearly not expecting it to be so expensive.

Kyle remained calm and unperturbed.

The Holy Human race's Astral Portal, even the standard-sized one, costs five million gold coins.

If it's a diameter of 100 meters, then it's even larger.

During this period, the Holy Human Race opened many portals for the Great Xia, and their quota in the Great Xia was the richest among all races.

Thorin clutched his chest, his expression one of agony, as if his wine cellar had been robbed.

"One million gold coins per unit?"

"Lin, tell me you're not kidding, is this furnace made from dragon bones?"

Lin Mo smiled and said:

"Elder Thorin, you may also choose to continue supplying the World Tree with large energy crystal veins."

Thorin immediately shut up.

That thing is more expensive, and it's not something you can just buy if you have money.

Large energy crystal veins are strategic resources, and even if Terra hadn't been ravaged by the demons, they wouldn't be something any race could easily obtain.

Moreover, now that 70% of the mainland has fallen, most of the energy crystal mines have fallen into the hands of the demons. After being mined for so long, how much can be left?

Four million gold coins is expensive.

But compared to a large mine, it's too cheap.

Grom asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Lin Mo, is it alright if we only buy two units?"

Lin Mo nodded.

"Can."

Grom's eyes lit up.

Lin Mo's next words made his expression freeze.

"But I don't recommend it."

"If the two reactors are under maintenance, overhauled, or encounter an accident, there may be a power outage."

"Moreover, the World Tree has huge demands after it matures, and the supply may not be enough, leading to malnutrition."

"You put in the World Tree seeds and the reactor, but in the end, the World Tree grew slowly due to insufficient power supply, and even the seedlings withered."

"That loss cannot be compensated by two million gold coins."

Grom fell silent.

The Orc Alliance had finally seen a chance for their race to change its fate, and they were not about to turn the whole thing into a gamble just to save half the money.

Lin Mo continued:

"We have already used nuclear reactors to cultivate World Trees. There is theory, evidence, and data to prove it. A configuration of four reactors is currently the most reliable."

Fendona took a soft breath.

The seeds of the World Tree are not ordinary seeds; each one is extremely precious.

Even elves would be heartbroken and unable to sleep if they failed because of trying to save money.

Therefore he said:

"No problem, then the Elf race will purchase four units."

Kyle followed closely behind.

"The Holy Human race purchased four units."

Thorin gritted his teeth, as if he were cutting off his own beard.

"Even the dwarves are buying four!"

Grom finally sighed.

"The Orc Alliance... will also buy four."

Lin Mo smiled.

"no problem."

"The first batch of four standard power supply units will be delivered in the order of the contract signing."

He picked up the contracts that had been prepared beforehand from the table and distributed them to representatives of various ethnic groups.

The Great Xia Dynasty now enjoys excellent relations with all the other races, and with the existing foundation of numerous collaborations, there's no need for the hassle of signing a magical contract.

A magical contract parchment is quite valuable, so we should save money where we can.

Because trade with the Great Xia was completely opened, all ethnic groups understood and accepted the Great Xia's contract system without objection.

Lin Mo looked like he was smiling gently.

For some reason, everyone felt that the smile looked exactly like those signs in the Da Xia shopping mall that said "limited-time offer".

Even though I know it will cost money, I still feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't buy it.

Of course, Da Xia did not think of itself as heartless.

On the contrary, the pricing suggested by the think tank was already very restrained.

The material cost of a small controlled nuclear fusion reactor is indeed not high for Daxia, a country with mature nuclear technology and a complete industrial system.

What's truly valuable is the technological barrier; after all, this involves controlled nuclear fusion!

Technology is priceless!

Although it's not about selling technology but a finished product, it's still a very expensive item.

Therefore, the price of one million gold coins per unit is painful for all races, but not enough to cause them to overturn the table.

It falls within the upper limit that they can accept precisely.

For Daxia, this is called reasonable profit.

For all ethnic groups, this is called the ticket to destiny.

Money can be earned back, but if the World Tree is planted, the future of the race will be completely different.
