Although Lieutenant General Anderson had considered the possibility of the other party making exorbitant demands, the quantity that Tilia asked for was still beyond his expectations.
Five hundred thousand tons of Element Zero!
If it were five tons, Lieutenant General Anderson might have reluctantly considered it, but five hundred thousand... that's simply impossible!
Element Zero is currently the rarest, most expensive, and indispensable precious element in the universe. If calculated in Star Coins, the price of one gram of Element Zero is around tens of thousands of Star Coins.
The reason is simple: Element Zero is the most important raw material indispensable for all civilizations to develop technology, and this raw material is quite rare. Sometimes, only a small amount can be found on one planet in a star system. Because of this, all civilizations highly value Element Zero.
