    Chapter 366 Armored Gladiator

    There is no doubt that the plan to buy metals with gold has failed!

    Many people mistakenly believe that after humans have the ability to navigate interstellar space, the prices of some precious metals will become as cheap as carrots. In fact, many people have fallen into the misunderstanding.

    It is true that humans have discovered planets made of pure gold and diamonds. However, these planets almost all have a common feature. They are very dense, forming an irresistible gravity. It is difficult for human spacecraft to land, and many equipment  It will collapse directly and cannot be mined at all, or the cost of mining will be very high.

    Of course, human gold production is still very considerable. However, because gold has a luxurious color that most metals do not have, a huge population base that is very possessive of gold, and gold¡¯s extensive use in industry, gold has always been the most popular.  One of the strongest hard currency and utility metals.

    Compared with other metals, the superiority of gold is difficult to replace, because gold has a color comparable to the sun, symbolizing wealth and status; the ductility of gold is unmatched by other metals, and 1 ounce of gold can be stretched to a length of 50 miles.  , its ductility makes it easy to cast, making it a good choice for making jewelry; in addition, its malleability is second to none, and it can produce extremely thin gold sheets that are easy to roll up. An ounce of gold can be hammered as thin as 1/4 millionth of a foot.  It is thick and covers an area of ??100 square feet. Ancient people hammered it into thin sheets and used it to decorate temples and palaces. It is said that 1 ounce of gold can be used to cover the roof of a house In the application of technology,  Gold has extremely high heat conductivity and electrical conductivity. Pure gold is the best electronic conductor material. With such high-quality performance, it is difficult to be replaced by other metals.

    There is no need to doubt that no matter how high the production of gold is, it will not be able to meet human demand for gold. Therefore, gold will never be as pricey as a carrot.

    Now, the fact that gold is cheaper than iron is before everyone.

    Is this planet rich in gold?

    While people smiled bitterly, they couldn't help but feel excited. Since the gold on this planet is so cheap, wouldn't it be a huge profit if an interstellar commercial route was opened?

    "It's a pity that Burley's next question instantly extinguished people's dreams, and the gap was like riding a roller coaster.

    "How many gold coins do you need for your annual living expenses?" Burley's question cuts to the point. Generally speaking, the actual value of a gold coin can be measured in terms of purchasing power.

    "Ahhow much?" Wei Xiong opened his eyes wide and looked at Burley's face in surprise.

    "Well, is there a problem?"

    "One gold coin is enough for my living expenses for a year."

    "Are you sure?" This time Burley opened his eyes wide.

    "Absolutely, I can't spend a Y-shaped gold coin on eating, drinking, and drinking for a year." Wei Xiong nodded affirmatively, as if to prove that he was not lying, he even made a vow to God.

    ""

    Everyone was speechless again. It seemed that smuggling gold was impossible. It was very obvious that gold was not abundant here. The only reason why iron tools were more expensive than gold was because they were strictly controlled by government departments. The main reason why gold was not restricted was probably because  Gold is too soft to be used as weapons, and the cost of using gold as weapons is too high for ordinary people to afford.

    ¡­While everyone was chatting, some individual tents had been packed up. Everyone had some breakfast such as nutrient solution and then made some preparations for departure.

    Now, Liu Fei has two goals: first, to find the metal needed for repair; second, to find a spacecraft capable of interstellar flight.

    From the current point of view, the first one is very difficult, as can be imagined from the extent of the authorities' control over iron tools; as for the second one, it is difficult to speculate because, so far, no high-tech technology has been seen on this planet.  The product of Wei Xiong's body is no different from the ancient earth.

    What is puzzling is that Wei Xiong seems to be no stranger to spaceships, and he seems to be very normal about some of the high-tech gadgets owned by Liu Fei and the others. Although there is a trace of curiosity, it is not the kind of ignorant admiration. After questioning,  Everyone knows that the old and young in Weijia Village all know that there are many planets inhabited by humans outside of the Ideal Star, and they seem to be no strangers to the history, culture and economy of the ancient earth. According to Wei Xiong, the ancestral hall of their Wei family  Inside, there are also preserved paper books that basically came from the ancient earth, and "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and the Three Kingdoms, which Liu Fei was familiar with, are also among them.

    However, what surprised Burley and the others was that, except for those few books, the source of their scientific and technological information did not come from books, but from word of mouth. Moreover, this method of word of mouth has already  For hundreds of years.

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh, it¡¯s hard to believe??This information appears to be fragmented, not to mention the information that has been passed down orally for hundreds of years. With the human nature of adding more and more details, even if it has been spread by more than a dozen people, a piece of news will become completely different, let alone hundreds of years.  It is extremely precious that ancient information can remain largely intact to this day.

    Half an hour later, the camp was disposed of. Even the location where the campfire was burned was specially arranged. There was no trace of the camp. The only regret was that Wei Xiong's cutting down of the isolation zone had destroyed the vegetation and it was impossible to restore it to its original state.

    Watching everyone cleaning up the camp, Wei Xiong was dumbfounded. After that, he kept observing, and finally he was full of praise.

    Finally, the camp was settled and the group of people set off on the journey.

    Just when everyone was about to cross the swamp area and hand over to the dry land, Liu Fei suddenly made a silencing movement.

    ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡­¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? Out of nowhere, there was a faint sound of thunder, which was extremely powerful and made people feel a sense of fear for no reason.

    "No, it's an armored gladiator cavalry!"

    "What is an armored gladiator cavalry?" Liu Fei looked solemn. Before he saw the person, he felt the heavy and fierce aura. Moreover, from Wei Xiong's fearful face, he was sure that the other party was not a kind person.  .

    ¡°That, that¡­ in short, it¡¯s very scary, we¡¯d better avoid it¡­¡±

    Wei Xiong's legs actually trembled, and his strong body moved towards the woods with difficulty. However, Wei Xiong immediately stopped because Liu Fei and the others did not move. They formed a triangular battle formation like a sculpture.  At the top is Liu Fei, who is holding a scimitar, and the fifty people behind him are holding a delicate metal block in their hands. There is a black metal tube at the front of the metal tube. Inside the metal tube, an invisible force seems to be pulsing.  energy.

    Is it a laser gun?

    ?Obviously, that is the legendary laser gun!

    Inexplicably, Wei Xiong felt extremely excited, and his trembling legs stopped shaking. However, he still took a few steps back, found a place, and held the head of the sword-horned beast and the pack of caracal rats.  The bone fragments were carefully hidden behind a stone. This was all his possessions!

    The fifty people who follow Liu Fei, in addition to their fanatical admiration for Liu Fei, are all carefully selected all-rounders. Whether it is fighting or shooting, they are the best in Kodo Space City. What's more, they have great respect for Liu Fei.  There is almost a kind of blind trust. Now that Liu Fei is as stable as a rock, they will naturally not take a step back.

    Cavalry, as the name suggests, are soldiers on horseback.

    Liu Fei knew very well that the swamp and dry land intertwined here were not suitable for cavalry to charge. If he retreated, he would give up the huge dry land and provide an open sprint area for the cavalry.

    Liu Fei is not a brave person, but as long as he makes a decision, he will have courage and determination that ordinary people can't match.

    Now, the position where Liu Fei is standing is the bottleneck area where two pieces of dry land intersect. Only three people can pass side by side. As long as this position is held, the opponent, even with thousands of troops, will not be able to get past the barrier
