Hearing Qinshan's response, Modalarhan and the other camels nearby exchanged a glance.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said with gritted teeth:
"Qin, I don't know if your black fish in [chikun] have the intention to export?"
"Export?" Hearing these words, Qin Shan understood.
When Modalarhan was hesitant just now, he had already guessed what Modalarhan might say.
Now, he saw that it was indeed as he had thought. The truth was exactly as he had imagined.
To this, Qin Shan was not surprised either.
No one doesn't like better things, especially when it comes to weapons and equipment.
Once, Long Village was also like the camels now, wanting to move all the best equipment in the world to Long Village.
This is not greed, but necessity!
Only better weapons and equipment can allow us to maximize our military power, and only with sufficient strong military power can we protect our village!
Only with enough strength, can you live peacefully and with dignity on the Blue Star!
As the saying goes on the internet often, when others say you have detergent, you'd better really have it!
However, although he knew it, Qin Shan did not give a positive answer, but shook his head directly:
"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, we do not have a plan to export Chikun at the moment..."
Although I just received one trillion from the camels, that one trillion, to a certain extent, was the 'protection fee' the camels gave after Long Village helped them...
Money in exchange, Long Village does not owe anything to the camels.
As for Chikun, with so many black techs on it, neither Qin Shan nor any other administrator in Long Village have ever thought of selling it.
Even setting aside the black tech on it, such strategic items are impossible to sell casually.
Even the Excalibur twenty-two which was exported before was already the limit, and even the advanced Excalibur ten and twenty-one, Long Village has never thought of putting them on the market.
At least in the next ten years, there will be no such plans...
This is not a matter of money or wealth, but a matter of principle!
Hearing Qin Shan's response, Modalarhan's face involuntarily revealed a touch of disappointment.
Although he had some preparations before, he still felt involuntarily disappointed when he was really refused.
He had witnessed the power of Chikun. Not to mention anything else, just the black fish that disappeared from the Black and White Eagle Village before were enough to energize the entire Camel Alliance!
Almost all Camel Administration officials coveted Chikun!
They are so eager to bring back the five Chikun from the port to the desert immediately.
If they had these black fish in their desert, would they still worry about the Black and White Eagle Village?
Before this, they had even secretly discussed among themselves that as long as Long Village agreed, even if it was a hundred billion or two hundred and three billion credits for a single Chikun, they would band together to get a few more back.
Unfortunately, their idea of importing Chikun had just been put forward when it directly died...
However, after struggling for a moment, Modalarhan bit his teeth and spoke again:
"Dear Qin, money is not a problem. If you agree, we are willing to directly offer one billion... no, two hundred billion credits per ten Chikun!"
Two hundred billion credits per Chikun?
Hearing Modalarhan's voice, Qin Shan's eyelids twitched.
Chikun was developed by all the members of Unit 303, with the assistance of technicians from Long Yan Shipyard and Su Heng, based on the foundation of Excalibur Tourism Blackfish.
Although weapon modules were added, many of the things that Su Heng had originally designed to enhance the sensory experience, such as the flower fox whistles, were removed.
Moreover, the size was significantly reduced.
In this case, the cost of Chikun was actually only ten billion credits!
Even without using Su Heng's fully automated production facilities, and manufacturing manually, the cost would still be only 2.6 billion credits. Adding the cost of torpedoes and other weapons, the total would be 3.8 billion at most!
Compared to two hundred billion, the thirty-eight billion is only half of that!
In other words, if they agree to export, one Chikun Blackfish can be exchanged for five Chikun Blackfish!
And that includes the cost of missiles, torpedoes, and all sorts of weapons. If those are taken out, the profit would be even more astonishing!
You see, whether it's Long Village or any other village in the world, when selling weapons and equipment, the equipment and ammo are usually priced separately!
Even a simple assault rifle or even a pistol follows this rule. The price of a gun, and the price of a bullet, are both clearly marked!
That means the two hundred billion mentioned by Modalarhan is just the price of the Chikun itself, not including the price of all the weapons!
If not including the cost of weapons and other equipment, the cost of Chikun is only 2.6 billion credits!
2.6 billion credits, just a bit more than one seventh of the 200 billion credits Modalarhan mentioned!
That means if Long Village agrees to the transaction, one Chikun could be exchanged for seven or nearly eight Chikun. If Modalarhan buys ten, it would be enough to exchange for nearly seventy-seven Chikun!
If all of them were produced by Su Heng's intelligent shipyard, even with the addition of raw materials and weapons, ten Chikun could be exchanged for two hundred Chikun!
What's the concept of two hundred Chikun Blackfish?
Let me put it this way, the total number of attack blackfish in the world, including those backward steam-electric blackfish, might be as many as that!
At this moment, neither Qin Shan nor the other Long Village commanders could help but be moved.
However, fortunately, at the last moment, they managed to suppress this hint of desire.
The desire is there, but as I said, this is a matter of principle!
Money is good as long as it's enough, more than enough is just a number.
Long Village has already made so much money from the camels, and much of that money hasn't been spent yet. Moreover, Long Village has so many things that can make money, and there's no need to use Chikun to make money.
Thinking of this, Qin Shan was about to speak...
However, before he could speak, Modalarhan's voice rang out again:
"Qin, if two hundred billion isn't enough, we're willing to pay three hundred billion! And we'll pay in gold. What do you think?"
"？？？": Just as Qin Shan was about to reject, he was speechless.
It's not that, camels, are you testing the old party members in this way?
The other commanders of Long Village beside Qin Shan were also feeling their eyebrows twitching.
Even if converted into the pre-devaluation Green Credits, 300 billion credits are still worth over 40 billion credits!
What's the concept of over 40 billion Green Credits?
The Black and White Eagle Village's most expensive Wolf-class attack blackfish, even the first one, cost over 30 billion.
And the average cost of the subsequent ones was only over 20 billion!
And over 40 billion is almost twice as much as the 20+ billion!
At one point, if it weren't for the remaining sanity, several commanders almost couldn't help but agree to Modalarhan directly.
Fortunately, at the last moment, they managed to suppress the impulse.
Even Qin Shan had to take a long time to regain his composure.
Then, under the gaze of all the camels, Qin Shan smiled bitterly.
"Your Royal Highness, you're asking me to make a mistake!"
After a bitter smile, Qin Shan helplessly said:
"I have to say, Your Royal Highness's offer has greatly moved me. If I had the authority to make the decision, I might have already decided to sell Chikun to you directly. Even now, I could directly let you take the Chikun outside..."
"However, this matter is not something I can decide on my own. More importantly, Chikun is one of our last strategic forces, and it holds great strategic significance. For the time being, we cannot export it. I kindly ask Your Royal Highness to understand..."
Upon hearing this, the disappointment in Modalarhan and the other camels' faces could not be hidden.
They have already raised the price as high as possible.
The price of 30 billion credits per ten black fish is not a small amount for them. Even during their most prosperous times, they wouldn't dare to waste so much money carelessly.
Unfortunately, even though they had put up so much money, Long Village still didn't want to sell……
This left all the camels extremely disappointed.
Fortunately, everyone had psychological preparation for this beforehand. They couldn't buy lumber and mushrooms from Long Village before, so it seems it's also unrealistic to buy Chikun now.
Thinking of this, Modalarhan shook his head slightly, shaking off the idea in his mind, and then spoke again:
"Qin, if Chikun can't be sold, then what about your 'Star of the Sea' bionic intelligent robots? Can these robots be sold?"
Since they can't buy Chikun, Modalarhan has to settle for a second choice.
Although Qin Shan had not publicly announced that it was the 'Star of the Sea' that silenced the black fish of the Black and White Eagle Village before, anyone with a sharp eye could see that whatever caused the previous eight black fish to be silenced must have been this so-called 'Star of the Sea'!
A product that Qin Shan publicly announced at a previous press conference as existing, but claimed it was "too advanced to display" and even didn't show the most basic pictures of it.
Facing Modalarhan's voice, Qin Shan fell silent again.
After a long time, he shook his head slightly and helplessly said: "Sorry Your Royal Highness, I've let you down. The 'Star of the Sea' is also our confidential product, and we currently have no export plans..."
Pausing for a moment, before Modalarhan could open his mouth to say something, Qin Shan continued:
"Moreover, even if we were to export the 'Star of the Sea', Your Royal Highness, you would still be unable to use it. The 'Star of the Sea' is a subsidiary weapon for the Chikun, and everything needs to rely on the main system of the Chikun for operation. Without the Chikun, the capabilities of the 'Star of the Sea' would only be ten percent. Therefore, I'm afraid we can only say sorry..."
Qin Shan half-truthfully explained the situation of the 'Star of the Sea'.
As he said, the 'Star of the Sea' is indeed a subsystem weapon for the Chikun.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the 'Star of the Sea' would be completely useless if it were removed from the Chikun. It's just for safety considerations.
The 'Star of the Sea' is not just a weapon, but also the eyes of the Chikun!
Although not very large, the black technology on it is not inferior to the Chikun!
In order to ensure that the 'Star of the Sea' wouldn't be leaked, when the design of the 'Star of the Sea' was finalized, Long Village combined with Su Heng to add multiple protections for it.
One of the protections is that every 'Star of the Sea' is linked to a Chikun blackfish!
Only the "mother ship" bound to the 'Star of the Sea' can control it.
Once the connection with the "mother ship" is lost for more than a certain period, the 'Star of the Sea' will activate its self-destruct program and destroy itself directly!
In addition, as an intelligent bionic robot, the smart calculation of the 'Star of the Sea' relies not only on its own intelligent AI chip but also more on data sharing through the cloud computing system of the "mother ship" main system!
Without the computational power of the "mother ship" cloud computing, the intelligent system capabilities of the 'Star of the Sea' would be greatly reduced!
This is also for safety reasons. It's not that Su Heng can't make an AI chip that allows the 'Star of the Sea' to operate independently. If Su Heng wants, it can replace the AI chip of the 'Star of the Sea' at any time.
But there's no need. The 'Star of the Sea' is essentially a consumable item, and even if a high-quality chip is installed, there will be a day when it will be consumed.
To speak of an even worse scenario, even if the 'Star of the Sea's' security self-destruct program fails and it cannot self-destruct, if the 'Star of the Sea' falls into enemy hands, it is of no great concern.
Replacing the low-level chip can not only better protect the technical secrets of the 'Star of the Sea', but also better control its cost.
But these don't need to be detailed to Modalarhan. The answer Qin Shan can give is just——
"Star of the Sea" not for sale!
Or, it can't be sold!
Faced with another rejection from Qin Shan, Modalarhan became increasingly disappointed.
At this moment, Qin Shan's voice rang out again:
"However, although both the 'Star of the Sea' and the Chikun cannot be sold, we still have another thing here. Perhaps Your Royal Highness is interested..."
Another thing?
Upon hearing this, Modalarhan's spirit was refreshed, and he said urgently, "What kind of thing?"
Facing the question, Qin Shan smiled and didn't beat around the bush, directly saying: "XH-2!"
"XH-2?" Modalarhan was stunned for a moment, and then an uncontrollable ecstasy began to spread across his face: "Qin, are you referring to the XH-2 submarine-launched hypersonic ballistic missile on your Chikun?"
"That's right!" Qin Shan nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, the joy on Modalarhan's face became even more intense.
The XH-2 is not as attractive as the Chikun and the 'Star of the Sea'.
But it is still a powerful cutting-edge weapon that the whole world struggles to match.
It's hard to find any other second one in the whole world!
Let alone other aspects, just its maneuverability and course change ability alone could make the whole Blue Planet drool with envy!
If Long Village were to announce that it would sell this missile, the gate of Long Village would be crowded in no time!
At that time, even the Black and White Eagle Village would have to think of ways to buy it.
However, suddenly, as if he remembered something, Modalarhan hesitated and said:
"Qin, the XH-2 is advanced, but it is a submarine-launched hypersonic ballistic missile. We don't have blackfish..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan shook his head and said: "This problem, Your Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about. If you really need it, we can help you free of charge modify it into a carrier ballistic missile. The launching bays on the 52G you purchased can fully accommodate these missiles."
"And even if you need it, we can also help you upgrade these missiles for you, increasing their maximum range to 1500 kilometers!"
Sigh!!
After listening to what Qin Shan said, Modalarhan and the other camels behind him all breathed a little more quickly.
Following that, as if he remembered something, Modalarhan directly said:
"Qin, can your XH-2 be used for anti-ship purposes?"
"Anti-ship?" Qin Shan looked at Modalarhan with a meaningful expression and said: "Of course, if filled with blue explosives, one XH-2 is enough to destroy a destroyer!"
"Even against a carrier weighing 100,000 tons, it can heavily damage it!"
Upon hearing this, Modalarhan's eyes sparkled.
