Chapter 376: Meetings (2/2)
”What does it take?”
”Not for the time being. I cannot afford to give them to you, no matter the price.”
”Why?”
”I am just a twenty-year-old Grand realm cultivator. You might have heard how I killed Old One. But there is something you are forgetting. I cannot handle too much pressure from my current state. As you said, I cannot risk what I have.
If I sell so much to you, it is difficult to cover up. If the major powers trace it back to me, I will have a hard time keeping everything safe.”
Stephen didn't reply, he doesn't know what to say about that. Simply, put there is no trust between both parties.
Sam doesn't have enough reasons to trust the Space gate association to sell these things to them and Stephen didn't see anything wrong with that.
After some thought, Stephen said.
”Okay, we will take the first two techniques and the third blueprint. We will give you all the Space gates for one-third of the price. We do have a new type of Space gate network, it is not suitable for the rest of the major powers, because they have too few places to move in between.
If you want to give it a try, we can explain it to you.”
Taking the cue, Zeke took out some scrolls and started explaining to Sam about the Space gate network.
Sam is actually impressed.
This is a complex transportation network.
The network itself is complex to make, but it is actually based on an easy concept.
In this network, if Sam wants to have the network in six places, each place will have on Space gate and they can use this one Space gate to visit the rest of the five space gates as they wished.
It is more efficient, he doesn't need six space gates in the city to visit six different empires, he can actually use a single gate to visit all the places.
Apart from that, a single space gate is easier to hide than multiple gates.
But it does have its disadvantages. It is a bit expensive.
And it is not a suitable network to use when connecting a few places. Any major power that only has four to five empires, wouldn't want to spend such money and they don't need these empires to stay connected. They can make do with a normal Space gate.
But Sam wanted a connection with all the empires. There are around thirty empires, on this planet under all the major powers.
For that, this network will be more useful and it is a bit more economical. Anyway, Sam could use this connection between empires for good use.
He can transport materials which are beyond one empire and sell them there, he can even transport people and make a business out of it.
If push comes to shove, he would open a refugee escaping platform, where people who wanted to seek refugee from the authorities can escape to other empires.
He can make a fortune and earn back whatever he spent on these Space gates.
So, from now on the discussion is all about how Sam wants this network and how they should proceed further.
Meanwhile, the major powers are in another meeting.
The one who conducted the meeting is the three major professional associations.
The Formation association head took the lead and stood up.
”Today we are here to discuss something very important. This could bring economic order and the money and material circulation in the collapsed empires back on to the track.”
”What would that plan be?”
One of the six asked.
”The Park.”
Everyone looked at him with a disdainful expression. They knew exactly where this idea came from, even they have thoughts to copy that, but they are not shameless enough to take the lead and even conduct a meeting like this.
Formation head cleared his throat and said.
”I know what you guys are thinking, but I have something to tell you. We were able to obtain the core formation blueprints for the construction of the park and along with that we also have blueprints of the inscriptions and formations that are used within the park.
We even have the architectural blueprint of the whole park and can proceed to construct an exact replica and even an improved version of a Park that is already running in the western continent.”
