Chapter 323: Mentality Exploded
To sell biological resources, it is obvious that you have to find customers first. Especially big customers.
At this moment, the desolate and dead scene of Pluto has completely disappeared. The majestic and vast, endless architectural communities designed by top human designers occupy almost a quarter of Pluto's surface.
There are millions of species from the four major civilizations, ranging from microorganisms, bacteria, algae, and plankton to elephants and whales.
Hundreds of purchasing specialists from civilizations were invited to show their magical powers and gather here in the solar system through various means.
Liu Yuan, the head of mankind, once again came forward to personally welcome these guests who were highly expected by the entire civilization.
For a while, all kinds of strange aliens were everywhere on Pluto. Some were four or five meters tall and weighed hundreds of kilograms. Some were short and small, like underdeveloped children. Some had six eyes and some had four arms...
The strictly trained human staff properly received the guests, led them to visit the biological resources of the Solar Alliance, and tried their best to promote them.
Long before the arrival of these guests, the human intelligence, diplomacy, business and biological departments had already collected their relevant information in advance, screened out the biological categories they might be interested in, and now made key recommendations.
The huge logistics team is always working, collecting customer feedback, and adjusting marketing strategies in real time.
The one-year expo finally ended, and humans collected intention orders of up to 1 billion silver coins.
Of course, it was just an intention, and as we all know, the word intention is very watery, and it is hard to say how much will be implemented in the end.
The business team worked overnight and finally screened out the ten most valuable customers and submitted them to the ruling committee.
"The fourth-level civilization 'Yunguan Civilization' showed obvious interest in three animals: rabbits, sheep, and elephants, but in the end only ordered 10,000 silver coins per year, which is completely inconsistent with the interest they showed in the early stage. We think there is still great potential to be tapped."
The price negotiated with the Yunguan Civilization business team is 11.65 silver coins for every 10,000 tons of live rabbits, sheep, and elephants.
10,000 silver coins per year, which is about 8.6 million tons of live animals per year.
Based on the average weight of a rabbit of 2.5KG, this number is about 3.44 billion rabbits, or 172 million sheep of 50 kilograms each, or 1.72 million elephants of 5 tons each.
This number seems large, but it is nothing compared to the productivity of the entire human civilization.
As long as someone can afford it, the breeding capacity of human civilization alone can increase this number by 10,000 times or even more.
"The Yunguang civilization has mastered a unique technology that can use these three animals, or animal-like biological materials, to make some daily necessities, luxury goods or food that are liked by at least 100 civilizations, and the demand is huge.
The Yunguang civilization itself consumes a lot of these three animals."
In the Silver Alliance, every civilization is willing to sell basic theories such as the Theory of Everything, or secondary theories of basic theories, such as reactor technology and thruster technology, for money.
But it is precisely such details as biological material processing technology, which has no impact on the overall civilization, that are strictly confidential and will never be sold.
The Yunguang civilization has mastered such a technology.
Han Yang also understands this behavior. Even when human civilization reaches a certain level, he will make this choice.
The reason is that basic or overly basic theories are still far from practical application, and basically every civilization that has reached the corresponding level will master them, so there is no value in keeping them secret.
To make an analogy, it is probably similar to the basic theory of computer chip principle, which can be sold freely, but the specific technology of manufacturing 2NM chip, the parameters of photolithography machine, the process of tape-out, and the code of instruction set must be kept strictly confidential.
This is the guy who really makes a living.
"It is estimated that the average annual market capacity of Yunguang civilization is more than 120 million silver coins. But obviously, this market is now occupied by other civilizations, so Yunguang civilization is only willing to purchase so little from us."
Han Yang immediately made up his mind.
We must grab this market!
It is unrealistic to grab all of it, but as long as we can occupy 10% of the share, no, even 1% of the share, it is enough for humans to eat!
Even if it is only 1%, the average annual income is 1.2 million silver coins, which can fully cover the security fee and there will be surplus.
The benefits are really too great. I don’t know how much money can be saved to purchase scientific and technological data.
What’s more, Yunguang civilization is the closest fourth-level civilization to the solar system, only about 600 light years away.
This not only means that selling goods to Yunguang Civilization can save a lot of freight costs, but also further deepen the relationship between the two civilizations.
Being able to deepen relations with a fourth-level civilization obviously also contains huge benefits.
It is imperative to snatch orders from Yunguang Civilization.
But... how to snatch?
Which civilization took the existing biological resource orders of Yunguang Civilization? What is the price? What is the category? What is the cost? What is the cooperation model?
In this regard, Yunguang Civilization obviously has no intention of revealing it to humans. If you want to master this information, you can only rely on yourself to collect it.
Fortunately, during this period, as human civilization carried out various tasks on a large scale, it had exchanges with many civilizations, and established good relations with some civilizations, such as Ziyun Civilization, Chitie Civilization, Luotu Civilization, etc., and there were some channels for collecting intelligence.
However, this matter cannot be rushed, and it has to be done slowly.
At this moment, in the Hongyang Galaxy, the human command headquarters of the planet transformation project, Commander Zhang Mingyang was a little annoyed.
Humans have taken over the three sub-projects of the Hongyang civilization planet transformation project, namely asteroid defense, ocean excavation and greenhouse gas removal, and are currently under intensive construction.
This is a rocky planet located in the habitable zone, with a mass similar to Mars in the solar system.
However, this planet is not as cold as Mars. There are a lot of greenhouse gases on this planet, which makes the temperature of the planet itself extremely high.
This is somewhat similar to Venus.
The Hongyang people intend to transform this planet into a habitable planet, so they need to transform the landform on this planet according to their own wishes, dig out large pits in appropriate locations, that is, the ocean, and then fill in low-lying areas, dig up mountains, fill in valleys, etc.
After the ocean is dug, water ice asteroids will be transported from the asteroid belt to melt and gather to form the ocean.
During the transportation of water ice asteroids, a large number of smaller asteroids will be formed. If they are not handled, they will continue to bombard the planet, which is obviously not acceptable. They need to be smashed or simply change their orbits.
As for greenhouse gas removal, it is to separate greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the planet and reduce them to a suitable level to reduce the temperature of the entire planet and create conditions for transforming it into a habitable planet.
At this moment, the three sub-projects responsible for humans are progressing smoothly, but these Hongyang people are too much and too slow. There are so many things and trivial things. Dealing with these Hongyang people makes Zhang Mingyang exhausted.
Just after sending off a few Hongyang people, the secretary called again the next moment and said that a few more Hongyang people came to see him.
There was no way, Zhang Mingyang could only cheer up and receive them again.
Several Hongyang people who were short like dwarfs and wearing close-fitting space suits came to Zhang Mingyang's office.
As soon as they entered the door, the three Hongyang people first bowed 100 degrees in a standardized manner, with their heads facing the ground and their buttocks facing the sky: "Mr. Zhang Mingyang, we are very presumptuous to visit you, please forgive us! We are really sorry!"
"We ask you to forgive our presumptuousness with full apologies! We sincerely apologize to you!"
Zhang Mingyang sighed, his heart became more and more irritated, but he had to force a smile on his face.
Damn, these Hongyang people can't learn to talk about things, but they are full of red tape!
"Mr. Zhaozi, hello!"
The Hongyang people kept making concessions and apologized continuously, with a 100-degree bow in between, and it took them five minutes to finally sit down.
After sitting down, they didn't talk about business, and started to chat again, and another ten minutes passed.
When Zhang Mingyang's patience was about to run out, these Hongyang people finally explained their purpose.
The standard for human asteroid defense projects is to push away asteroids larger than ten meters in size and change their orbits, and directly smash those smaller than ten meters and let them be consumed in the planet's atmosphere.
However, the Hongyang people believe that some asteroids with sulfur gas may affect the planet's environment if they melt in the atmosphere, so they require humans to identify asteroids with a sulfur content of more than 0.3 parts per million, and not smash them, but also push them away from their orbits.
"Sorry, I am very sorry to make this request presumptuously, but this matter is really important to us, and I ask you to agree to our request!"
Several Hongyang people stood up and bowed 100 degrees and apologized smoothly again.
Zhang Mingyang's mentality was almost blown up.
Enough of you Hongyang people! It's just a little asteroid, how can it affect the atmosphere!
Well, even if it can really affect it, there may not be one such asteroid in a thousand, and the amount of work is not big to be honest, but can you please not do so much!
You Hongyang people have asked too much for fine-tuning of such details! There must have been hundreds of them since the project started, right? !
You guys have too many things to do!
Okay, I can tolerate this, after all, you are the client, but I am also the general commander of the project, the highest person in charge of mankind!
I am also very busy!
For such a trivial matter, can you please go to the project manager and engineering manager under me, and don’t make a big deal about it and come to me!
If I have to receive you all day, can I still do my job! (End of this chapter)
