I sensed the caution in Prince Ahmed's gaze.

Zhao Chen naturally knew what the other party was thinking.

He smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, "I have no other requests, I just want to obtain more mineral resources from the Kingdom of Stone."

However, given the current production efficiency of the Stone Kingdom's mineral resources, it's simply a drop in the ocean to buy my T6-level interstellar warship.

Although the Stone Kingdom's annual trade revenue is not small.

But ask yourself honestly, how much would a T6-class starship be worth in His Highness's mind, without any additional conditions?

Ten quadrillion star coins? Fifty quadrillion star coins? Nine quadrillion star coins? Or... ten trillion star coins? One hundred trillion star coins? One hundred million trillion star coins?

When Zhao Chen said one million trillion star coins, neither Prince Ahmed nor Hua Ya Lanlan felt that Emperor Xiaolong's offer was exorbitant.

Because, as far as they know, the cost of just a few known T6 interstellar warships in the universe is around several trillion star coins.

And their sales are almost never based on a simple price.

To date, no interstellar civilization or universe can afford to purchase a T6 interstellar warship.

They often come with certain requirements.

For example, the right to control a certain territory in the universe for a certain number of years, or the right to purchase a certain product for the next hundred years, all come with certain requirements.

Therefore, Prince Ahmed had previously assumed that the Emperor of the Wraiths would make such a request.

If it were a similar request, they would most likely not agree.

While T6-class starships are very tempting, it doesn't mean they're willing to betray their principles.

"I can accept only the equivalent payment for the goods."

But doesn't this require you to be able to afford it in advance?

"May I ask, what is the annual mineral output value of the Stone Kingdom?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

Prince Ahmed did not answer.

Hua Ya Lanlan, who was standing to the side, then spoke up: "According to our calculations..."

Over the past decade, the Stone Kingdom's average annual output has been around ten trillion star coins.

The value of 10,000 trillion Star Coins.

This number wouldn't actually be considered very high in other interstellar civilizations or universes.

The problem is that the Stone Kingdom universe is much smaller than the universes of other interstellar civilizations.

If we're talking about output per unit area, then the Stone Kingdom can definitely be called the richest universe!

There is none other than this!

Prince Ahmed did not deny Hua Ya Lanlan's statement, which can be considered an indirect acknowledgment of the number.

"If it's just this number, you'd even be willing to put up half of the funds to buy our T6 interstellar warship."

How many years would it take to save up enough to buy one?

Since that's the case, why don't we try to open source it!

This is also something I'd like to collaborate on with you.

I need a lot of mineral resources, and you have the capital to produce the mineral resources I need.

The only drawback is that the tools you have are too outdated.

As far as I know.

"You're still using T5, T4, or even T3 level interstellar mining ships to mine those ores, and in relatively small numbers," Zhao Chen said slowly.

Zhao Chen paused, then raised his hand to open another document.

Several more holographic projections of starships appeared before Prince Ahmed.

Those were all interstellar mining ships!

From the lowest level T3 Gold Digger-class heavy interplanetary mining ship, T4 Rich Class heavy interplanetary mining ship, and T5 Scavenger-class heavy interplanetary mining ship;

Then there's the T6 Mechanical Ant King-class Heavy Interstellar Mining Ship.

Prince Ahmed's eyes lit up again when he saw the T6 Mechanical Ant King-class heavy interstellar mining ship.

It's important to know that, although there are known civilizations in the universe that possess T6-class interstellar mining ships.

But those are core technologies held by other interstellar civilizations and universes, which they often use themselves, let alone sell to others.

Even if they wanted to buy it, they might not be able to.

Now, Xiaolong Emperor is actually saying that these can be sold to them freely.

"Are you really willing to sell these interstellar mining ships to us without any conditions?" Prince Ahmed couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Chen stated frankly, "It's impossible to say there are no conditions."

Prince Ahmed's heart sank; he knew this would be the outcome.

Zhao Chen continued, "We have the following requirements for purchasing these interstellar mining ships."

First: Once we establish a cooperative relationship, you must increase production by more than ten times in a short period of time. We will establish a performance-based agreement for this.

Second: You can purchase our interstellar mining ships at full price. We will not interfere with how you use them, except that resale is not allowed.

If funds are insufficient, we also accept cooperation.

For example, we can sell you an interstellar mining ship at a low price.

For example, the publicly listed price of a T5 Scavenger-class heavy interplanetary mining ship is 20 quadrillion star coins, but by adopting this cooperative approach, the price per ship can be reduced to only 100 quadrillion star coins.

However, in the next hundred years, we will directly divide half of the resources mined by this T5 Scavenger-class heavy interplanetary mining ship.

In addition, the mineral resources you extract must be supplied to us with priority. We can pay for the goods directly, or you can exchange these delivered mineral resources for equivalent goods.

Necessary supplies or starships are both acceptable.

This is our requirement.

As Zhao Chen finished speaking...

Prince Ahmed, sitting opposite Zhao Chen, was stunned. He looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise: "Your Majesty, is this all you want...?"

Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "Yes."

Don't worry, we will intervene or control you.

We simply want more mineral resources; that's our only goal.

Moreover, we both know about the environmental conditions of the Stone Kingdom universe.

My people simply cannot work and produce within the Stone Kingdom universe for an extended period, so it's better to maintain the status quo.

We cooperate; with my tools, you can produce more efficiently, and I can obtain more mineral resources.

This is a win-win situation.

Hearing Emperor JF-17's explanation, it has to be said that Prince Ahmed was truly tempted.

At this moment, Zhao Chen pulled out his trump card. He pointed to the starships in the holographic images and said, "I know that His Highness Prince Ahmed cannot make such a decision on such an important matter."

If you can take me to see the King of the Stone Kingdom, I can immediately bring out these types of interstellar warships for you to visit on site, and even test run them.

"Let you truly experience the benefits of these starships!"

The suggestion from Huaya Lanlan was really good.

When he heard that Zhao Chen could produce these ship types in person right then and there.

Prince Ahmed was truly convinced.

He smiled and looked at Emperor Xiaolong: "I have felt Your Majesty's sincerity."

If you can really get our king to see these types of starships in person.

I can contact His Majesty the King to arrange a meeting between you.

Zhao Chen nodded.

The two then stood up and shook hands to express their goodwill.

Zhao Chen suddenly leaned forward slightly, smiled and whispered, "The T5 Holy Redeemer-class heavy interstellar armored battleship that I promised to give you will also be presented to you."

Please provide a location, or arrange for someone to receive the package.

Prince Ahmed's smile deepened, and he said with a grin, "Your Majesty is too kind."

I will definitely find a way to handle this matter well.

I believe that His Excellency Emperor Xiaolong is a very trustworthy partner.

If you have time in the future, please be sure to visit my territory. I will give Your Majesty a very good stay!

Hana-ya Lan-lan watched the two talking like brothers.

She knew very well that this was a form of 'transfer of benefits'.

This gift is more than just a stepping stone.

Now that this has been presented to Prince Ahmed, he will naturally have more to say when they meet and negotiate with the King of the Stone Kingdom later.

This Prince Ahmed is the cousin of the current Stone King of the Stone Kingdom.

The prince's words still carry considerable weight.

Therefore, this T5 Holy Redeemer-class heavy interstellar armored battleship, worth 'eight trillion star coins', will demonstrate its value here.

There's a key to unlocking this opportunity: 'eight trillion Star Coins'.

Everything was quickly taken care of.

A message came from Prince Ahmed that the Stone King was willing to meet with Emperor Wraith Dragon.

The location was set in the capital star system of the Stone Kingdom.

The previous negotiations did not actually take place within the Stone Kingdom universe, but rather within a very, very small universe.

Located outside the Stone Kingdom universe, yet very close to it, this place was used as a transit point for trade by the Flower Fairy Federation tribe.

Meetings and negotiations between them were also held here.

It's clear that the Stone Kingdom is very xenophobic.

Getting the Dragon Emperor into the Stone Kingdom is already quite an achievement.

However, under Zhao Chen's sweet talk, Zhao Chen still managed to enter the Stone Kingdom universe smoothly.

A light gray shield appeared around Zhao Chen's Imperial Guard fleet and other accompanying interstellar warships.

"This is a technology we developed that can protect alien races from entering the Stone Kingdom universe and mitigate the effects of its magnetic field."

But that only allows you to stay a little longer; it doesn't allow you to survive in the long term.

"As for the petrification effects caused within His Majesty the Emperor, they will recover on their own after leaving the Stone Kingdom universe for a period of time," Prince Ahmed explained to Zhao Chen through the video window.
