Chapter 318 The Only Chance (Chapter 310 Is an Additional Chapter for Nuan Yang)
Not only Han Yang, but also the entire human civilization, as well as Yuanshan, Motan, and Fix civilizations, all went all out and went all out.
If there are enough human engineers and workers, use humans. If there are not enough humans, use the hundreds of millions of dummies made by Han Yang. If there are still not enough, directly recruit engineers, workers, and soldiers from the other three civilizations. In short, as long as there is profit, take them all!
The top leaders of the other three civilizations are also happy to see this situation.
Humans earn silver coins and foreign exchange from the Silver Alliance, and these three civilizations earn human currency foreign exchange from humans.
Silver coins and foreign exchange can be used to purchase scientific and technological data from the Silver Alliance, and human currency can also be used to purchase scientific and technological data from humans! Compared with those technologies that they do not have the ability to develop at all, what is a little labor?
The soldiers, workers, engineers, and logistics personnel of the three civilizations are also very enthusiastic about this. There is no way, the subsidies for missions are too generous. As long as you go once, you can earn more money in ten years than you could earn in a hundred years in the past.
Although these coins are only the currencies issued by each civilization and can only be used within their own civilization. But for ordinary people, it is useless to take the currency of other civilizations, and they can't spend it.
At this moment, about 600 light years away from the solar system, around a red dwarf star with a mass of about 0.6 times that of the sun, the capital star of the Hematite Civilization, the meeting room of the President's Palace.
A group of high-level civilizations sat upright, with serious and solemn expressions. With some metallic colors and dark red skin, each one of them really looks like an iron man.
At the beginning, in the early stages of the development of the Hematite Civilization, each tribe was proud to be able to create the toughest and sharpest hematite of the same era.
One of the tribes was the best at metal smelting and created the highest quality hematite, so they used hematite as the name of their tribe. Later, this tribe gradually grew and unified civilization, and followed the tradition and used "hematite" as the name of civilization.
This star system was also named the Hematite Galaxy.
But...
After the civilization entered the third stage, it was thought that with the strength of civilization and the advancement of technology, the civilization should also become more prosperous.
But unexpectedly, entering the third stage did not open up another prosperity, but a tribulation.
The civilization lacked unique technology that could be sold for money, nor did it have too many precious biological resources. Its military and engineering capabilities were mediocre, and there were not many ways to earn silver coins.
As for natural resources, in addition to some worthless conventional resources, there were some rare resources with great development potential. However, it was extremely difficult to mine those resources. With the strength of the Hematite civilization, it was impossible to mine them, let alone sell them on a large scale.
Every generation of heads of state could clearly realize that large-scale mining and selling of this macromolecular compound commonly known as "aerogel" in the Silver Alliance was the only way to accumulate civilization wealth and alleviate civilization's predicament.
But every generation of heads of state failed to complete the aerogel mining project during their tenure.
One reason was that the project was too large and too difficult, and the other was...
For more than three thousand years, it was difficult enough to barely maintain the normal operation of civilization, and even the security fee had to be paid by loan.
Each generation of heads of state has to maneuver and rack their brains to barely maintain the independence of civilization and not be taken as a vassal by the advanced civilization in the name of "aid". In this case, where can they spare the resources and manpower to build the aerogel mining project?
However, after more than 3,000 years of hard work, there are some results.
Now, the Red Iron Civilization has finally saved up a sum of silver coins, about 5 million, in addition to the daily necessary expenses.
What is going on now is a discussion on the use of the 5 million silver coins that have been temporarily surplused with great difficulty.
"You can breathe a sigh of relief when the principal and interest are paid back. Hiring a civilization to carry out the aerogel mining project is expected to really turn things around. But the money is not much, and I am afraid that no civilization will be willing to take it."
The two paths are clearly laid out in front of the high-level civilizations.
"This is the best stage.
There will be a surplus only when the price of biological resources rises.
There will be no more opportunities in the future."
A high-level civilization said in the unique "concise" communication style of the Red Iron Civilization.
Although the words are concise, the meaning is very clear.
It is a lucky result to have this 5 million surplus. Expect to save more money in the future? Impossible.
Money will only get less and less. If we don't start the aerosol mining project now, we won't be able to start it in the future.
Do as much as you can with the money you have. It's not feasible to do half of the project first and do the rest when you have more money. Because the aerosol mining environment is special, it must be completed in one go.
If you stop halfway, the previous project will be destroyed and abandoned.
"This is the only chance for civilization."
He added emphatically.
"Open the bidding and see if there is any civilization willing to do it. If there is, open it. If not, use it to repay the loan."
After a long discussion, the only result that can be obtained is a bit helpless.
But all the senior leaders of the civilization know in their hearts that I'm afraid that this civilization's only chance can only be left to be lost.
With such a small amount of money and such a large amount of work, it is impossible for any civilization to take it. But if we raise the price, we really can’t spare more silver coins…
When the mission fails, we can use these silver coins to repay the loan, in exchange for a slight relief for the civilization, which can last for a few decades, and then sink again, until there is no way out and we can only be forced to accept assistance and become a vassal. This seems to be the destiny of civilization.
Let it sink, so many low-level civilizations in the Silver Alliance have come this way...
But I still feel a little unwilling. After three thousand years of struggle, I can only get such a result in the end...
Why is it so difficult to maintain the independence of civilization...
The sky of the capital planet is gloomy and dim, just like the mood of the top leaders of the Red Iron Civilization at the moment.
The business personnel of the civilization posted this task requirement on the Silver Alliance communication network.
This task was seen by the human business personnel who were always paying attention to the Silver Alliance network almost the next moment.
"The total cost is 5 million silver coins! A big project!"
The business personnel exclaimed, but after looking at the project requirements, he couldn't help shaking his head: "The project is so large, the price is too low."
But he still reported it. It's not up to him to decide whether to accept it or not.
Han Yang also saw this task.
"5 million... The price is indeed a bit low, not cost-effective. But it doesn't matter. It just so happens that my computing power and the engineers of the Motan civilization are still abundant. Now I'm worried about having no work to do, so I'll accept it."
Han Yang made a direct decision.
Hematite Galaxy. Not long after the meeting ended, the mission was issued, and even before the senior leaders of the civilization had just left the meeting room, an urgent communication was sent to everyone's communication terminal.
"Return quickly!"
The senior leaders hurried back to the meeting room they had just left.
"Humanity has accepted the mission! The business commissioner is in contact."
What? !
Is there really a civilization willing to accept it? And so soon?
At this moment, the senior leaders almost doubted their ears.
Could it be... our civilization really has hope?
The subsequent development was smooth as if in a dream.
The business personnel of the two civilizations contacted and quickly finalized the mission details, and then the human side actually called the aerospace mothership directly. It has not been three years, and they have already set off!
In another six years, they will arrive!
At this point, it is impossible to fake it. No matter how harsh the Silver Alliance is in oppressing low-level civilizations, the Silver Alliance still has strict management in terms of basic business order.
When this news broke out, it immediately triggered a wave of enthusiasm in the Hematite civilization, and countless people were excited.
If the aerosol mining project can be successfully completed, the Hematite civilization will have an additional income of at least 500,000 silver coins per year, which is equivalent to solving half of the security fee!
Adding the rest of the natural resources and biological resources, as well as the income from taking tasks, the Hematite civilization will truly achieve a surplus, and it is expected to pay off all loans within 800 years, and then save money to develop itself!
The fate of civilization will change because of this!
Countless people are looking forward to the arrival of the human engineering fleet. In this process, a lot of information about human civilization has been collected.
Seeing that human civilization has been attacking everywhere in recent years, although no major projects have been completed due to the short time, some small projects that have been completed have generally received good reviews. The engineering efficiency is extremely high, the quality is excellent, and the speed is extremely fast. The high-level officials of the Hematite civilization, who were originally a little nervous, finally let go slowly.
After waiting for several years in anxiety, the huge human engineering fleet finally appeared at the edge of the Hematite Galaxy.
The high-level officials of the Hematite civilization immediately went out collectively and personally went to welcome it.
What they didn't know was that Li Yue, the head of the human engineering department who led the mission, was a little nervous at the moment.
Before cooperating with a civilization, of course, you have to collect a large amount of information about the civilization and start after you have a certain understanding.
This mission is also the same. However, according to the collected information, this red iron civilization... is a bit special.
The culture of their civilization is really too special.
The life of this civilization seems to be naturally indifferent to emotions. Not only is it known for external communication, but also for internal communication. It is cold and hard. It often overturns the table when it disagrees with others, which often makes people lose face.
As the person in charge, Li Yue obviously has to take the responsibility of dealing with the red iron people.
In this process, how to ensure the smooth execution of the mission, how to communicate with the red iron people, how to guarantee their legitimate rights, how to maintain the dignity of mankind, etc., a series of problems, even Li Yue, who is experienced in dealing with foreign countries, is somewhat unsure.
The fleets of both sides finally met. Arriving at the Red Iron Civilization mothership, Li Yue and his own people greeted them with a smile on their faces. Just as he was about to talk about civil cooperation and friendship, he was shaken by the Red Iron Civilization leader who was the tallest and looked more like an iron man.
"Human, thank you."
Li Yue swallowed the words he had prepared before and wanted to say something polite, but the Red Iron Civilization leader said coldly: "Please attend the welcome ceremony." (End of this chapter)
