If possible, Garen didn't want to give the Black Cavity Crystals to these technological civilizations.
However, although this thing was good, the problem was that its purity was too high. Other than Level Ten creatures, they couldn't use it at all.
As for Level Eight and Level Nine creatures, what they needed was a huge amount of dark energy, not the pure Black Cavity energy.
Therefore, for creatures below Level Ten, the Dark Energy Crystal was the most beneficial thing for them.
However …
They were a biological civilization and didn't have the technology of a technological civilization to extract the Black Cavity Particles and combine them with dark energy to create artificial Dark Energy Crystals.
This was also why Garen kept thinking of ways to take the Dark Energy Spring from the Sun River Empire.
Therefore, when Garen learned that the Sun River Empire had failed and their Dark Energy Crystal reserves were almost depleted, he knew that his chance had come.
Soon enough, Garen proposed to Harris that he would use the Black Cavity Crystal to exchange for a Dark Energy Spring. He even took the initiative to give him a piece of the Black Cavity Crystal for testing. Naturally, the result blinded Harris, which led to the current scene in the audience room.
"Garen … How much can it provide?"
When he asked this question, even Amris' voice was trembling.
"It can provide 100 pieces at once and 10 pieces per year for 100 years!"
Hearing this, not only Amlais, but everyone in the meeting room immediately started calculating.
So 100 + 10 x 100 = 1100 pieces?
According to the calculation that each Black Cavity Crystal could be converted into 300 Dark Energy Crystals, 1100 x 300 = 330,000 Dark Energy Crystals?
If this was based on the production of the Dark Energy Spring, it would be 33000010 = 33,000 years of production?
This …
After a little calculation, everyone was stunned.
A Dark Energy Spring's production for more than 30,000 years, this was …
Not to mention, this thing could immediately solve the Empire's current problem of insufficient Dark Energy Crystal reserves.
No, not only would it solve the problem, it could even allow the Empire to establish an absolute advantage over the Alliance in this aspect!
Yes, an absolute advantage!
The method that the Alliance used to stop the Empire's Black Cavity Channel today, the Empire could use it against the Alliance.
With the goods in hand, there was no need to panic!
"What … What do you all think?"
After the excitement, when his emotions had calmed down, Amris asked the ministers in the audience room.
"Your Majesty, I think this deal is very worthwhile. Even if we have a source of dark energy, it will take us 30,000 years to produce such an output!"
"That's thirty thousand years we're talking about. Furthermore, given the current situation of the Empire, to be honest, it's still a problem whether or not it can last for another thirty thousand years!"
Korlak's words were very bold, but none of the other ministers refuted him. Instead, they all nodded in agreement.
If he lost the present, what was the point of talking about the future?
Only by completely defeating the Alliance would the Alliance have a so-called future. The appearance of the Black Crystal was the key to defeating the Alliance.
Therefore, he had to get his hands on it. Even if he had to pay a dark energy spring, it would be worth it!
"However, Your Majesty, although we are determined to get the black-cavity crystal, I think we can still bargain for it!"
"What do you think, Korlak?"
"Ask Sir Harris to double the conditions, which is to provide 200 pieces at once, 20 pieces per year for the next 100 years, or 10 pieces per year for the next 200 years!"
"This … What if Garen refuses, or even completely ends this deal?"
Amris was a little hesitant. If he did as Korlak said, if Garen really ended the deal, he would really cry himself to death.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why Garen is willing to provide us with the black-cavity crystal, and why he insists on our dark energy spring every time?"
"This …"
After hearing this question, Amris didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After all, he had always guessed that Garen had a conflict with the humans.
However, now that Korlak mentioned it, he realized that every time he made a deal with Garen, he only wanted the dark energy spring?
"Your Majesty, after a biological civilization reaches Level Eight, it will gradually transform into a dark energy creature. The energy in its body will also slowly transform into pure dark energy. During this process, the individual of the biological civilization needs to absorb a large amount of dark energy to catalyze its own evolution."
"Although after mastering the black-cavity crystal, one can extract the black-cavity particles from the crystal and combine it with dark energy to create artificial dark energy crystals, Your Majesty, don't forget that Garen is a biological civilization. Their entire camp is made up of biological civilizations, and they don't have the extraction and manufacturing technology of technological civilizations. In other words, they are a bunch of idiots who have treasures in their hands but can't use them!"
"In summary, they are willing to give up the black-cavity crystal in exchange for our dark energy spring. I dare say that Garen's urgency for the dark energy spring is no less than our need for the dark energy crystals!"
"Therefore, Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Garen will definitely not completely end the deal!"
After hearing Korlak's words, everyone had a sudden realization.
No wonder Garen wanted the dark energy spring every time. No wonder they were willing to pay such a huge price. It was because …
This was the problem.
If this was the case, they could just follow Korlak's suggestion and ask for an exorbitant price.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Korlak's suggestion!"
"I agree too!"
"I agree!"
.....
"Good, if that's the case, then Harris, go and convey our intentions to Garen. We can trade, but we have to increase the price!"
"Provide 200 pieces at once, and 20 pieces per year for the next 100 years, or 10 pieces per year for the next 200 years!"
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Amlais nodded and said to Harris, "Don't worry.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go now!"
-----
A few minutes later …
Harris's communication was picked up again.
"Harris, didn't I ask you to talk to Garen? What happened?"
From Amras's point of view, if the price was doubled, they would definitely wrangle for a long time before reaching a final price.
And it had only been three minutes since Harris ended the call. Could it be that something new had happened?
"No, Your Majesty, Garen agreed!"
"Agreed? What did he agree to?"
"He agreed to the exchange conditions that Korlak mentioned earlier …"
"I …"
Not to mention Amlais, everyone in the audience room was stunned.
It wasn't until a minute later that Amras finally recovered and said something that made everyone stunned again.
"Our … asking price is too low?"
