Chapter 399 Huge Harvest
A message was sent from the Cloud Palace of the Blue Mountain Civilization to the offices of the five heads of the fourth-level civilizations, and then from the heads of the offices to the commanders of the five fleets of the desolate galaxy.
At this moment, the aerospace mothership of the sixth-level civilization has once again responded to the call and appeared in the galaxy. Our huge fleet has once again started the login process, and now almost one-third of the warships have entered the berth.
The commanders all looked bitter.
Although our relationship with the aerospace mothership of the sixth-level civilization is only a business cooperation relationship, it does not involve anything else. We have breached the contract and agreed to use it but now we don’t use it. We can pay the penalty according to the contract requirements.
The sixth-level civilization will not pay attention to anything other than the terms of the contract.
But... after all, it is an intelligent life of the sixth-level civilization! It’s okay to breach the contract once, but now it’s going to breach the contract for the second time. Will the noble intelligent life of the sixth-level civilization think that we are playing tricks on them?
If there is a need for cooperation in the future, will they secretly do something to me? Although it will not affect the overall situation, it is enough to make me uncomfortable.
But there was no way, the decision was made by the head of state, and we could only execute it.
With a trembling mind, the five commanders jointly sent a message to the crew of the aerospace mothership: "Dear creator civilization intelligent life, due to some reasons, we have to cancel this long-distance cooperation again, and we will pay the penalty..."
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, the reply came very quickly, without any dissatisfaction.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed the soldiers to operate the warships to leave the berth.
After a flustered operation, finally, more than 300,000 warships that had entered the berth left, leaving only less than 200 warships on the aerospace mothership.
The process was normal, and no accidents occurred. The commanders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that it's okay, it's good that it's okay..."
Just when the commanders were still celebrating, suddenly, a warship seemed to touch the armor of the aerospace mothership lightly due to an operational error while leaving the berth.
In the past, this was nothing. After all, it was a creation of the sixth-level civilization, and it was impossible for it to be damaged by a slight touch.
But this time it seemed different. The commanders saw that a little fire suddenly broke out from the collision, and suddenly became larger, instantly engulfing the less than 200 warships that tried to leave the berth for the last time.
When the fire disappeared, the less than 200 warships had become an empty shell. The warships were completely destroyed, and the soldiers inside had already died.
"What's going on!"
The commanders' hearts suddenly lifted. The next moment, they received a message from the crew of the aerospace mothership: "Due to your operating error, you accidentally touched our weapon system, and the weapon system was activated, affecting your warship.
The responsibility for this accident lies entirely with your misoperation, and you will bear all the consequences. At the same time, the accidental activation of our weapon system also caused certain losses to us. After the damage is determined, we will negotiate with your civilization and you will make compensation."
The commanders were full of bitterness.
Just a small collision triggered your weapon system? Even children wouldn't be deceived like this.
This is clearly a trick on us...
But, where can we go to complain? No matter how hard we try, it was our own fault. Moreover, although a level 6 civilization does not interfere in the affairs of lower-level civilizations, it is too daring to sue a level 6 civilization.
The commanders swallowed their anger and made another humble reply: "I'm sorry that you have suffered losses due to our mistakes. Please rest assured that all losses will be borne by us."
As for the approximately 200 warships and the more than 20,000 innocent soldiers who died tragically, they were not even mentioned.
After receiving the reply, the level 6 civilization aerospace mothership did not send any more information, but directly entered the superluminal navigation mode and left.
...
On Earth, Luo Zhaoyangdong appeared again.
"Our intelligence shows that the level 6 civilization aerospace mothership has disappeared in the galaxies where the five level 4 civilizations are stationed."
Han Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Having just experienced the Yunguang Galaxy War, we are not ready to start another large-scale war. In addition, we have finally fulfilled our promise to the Luotu civilization.
Once the coalition forces of the five fourth-level civilizations come, the Luotu civilization will be very passive. If the Luotu civilization is passive, we will be breaking our promise, and we don’t know how much it will cost to appease the anger of the Luotu civilization.
Fortunately, everything went as planned and expected.
"We have fulfilled the agreement. Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation. Looking forward to serving you again."
Luo Zhaoyangdong stood up and bowed politely to the ruling committee members, and disappeared the next moment.
The communication was cut off, and the ruling committee members also smiled.
In any case, this incident has finally come to an end.
Humans got what they wanted, the Luotu civilization got what they wanted, and the five fourth-level civilizations also got what they wanted temporarily-at least the trade benefits were preserved for you, you say, right.
Looking around, it seems that only the Yunguang civilization lost its interests.
But it is merciful enough to allow you to still exist. You should be content with the mere loss of trade interests.
At least, the legal representative of Yunguang Civilization at this moment, Head of State Lotta, is very satisfied with this.
As long as my position is secure, is a 10% trade profit just a bird? Anyway, no matter how much profit is given, it will only come from those lowly idiots. It has nothing to do with me.
Not only that, but the 10% trade profit concession doesn’t give me another reason to raise taxes?
Just for this reason, I searched hard again. As for how much they finally plundered and how much they handed over, those idiots didn't know. At that time, the money of officials and rich people will be repaid in full. After all, everyone is in the same group, and the money of the poor will be divided into 30 and 70 parts...
After fantasizing about the wonderful life in the future, Lotta couldn't help but grin and laugh.
After smiling for a moment, the smile disappeared again, and he even started to feel sad again.
"Hey, the five major fourth-level civilizations want to start withdrawal negotiations with human civilization and help our Yunguang civilization regain its independent status... Why do you think these people are so full?
Our Yunguang Civilization is living so well now, we don’t need you to worry about it. Humanity? Humans are our benefactors. I wish the human garrison could stay here for a long time.
It’s really, really annoying…”
Lotta sighed deeply.
He switched between these two emotions repeatedly, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.
On the human side, the ruling committee members were completely happy.
In any case, this time the Yunguang Civilization was completely eliminated, and our gains were huge enough.
The arduous struggle that lasted for hundreds of years, the war clouds that lasted for hundreds of years, the heroic sacrifices of millions and tens of millions of soldiers, countless scientific researchers, countless workers, countless ordinary people, the total number of the entire civilization Hundreds of billions of people are united as one, and have put in countless hard work. At this moment, they have finally reaped fruitful results.
Winning a strategic buffer period that lasts for at least several decades - The reason why the human side issued an announcement and left a window for negotiation was apparently to eliminate the excuses of the five major fourth-level civilizations to launch a war, but in essence it was just to delay time. , just to win the strategic buffer period - just the most insignificant of these gains.
He took full control of the Yunguang Civilization and took possession of the 25.4 billion silver coins accumulated in the Yunguang Civilization's treasury. In one fell swoop, he got back the silver coins used to purchase technology from the Yunguang Civilization in the early stage, and also saved the Yunguang Civilization for at least several hundred years. The wealth accumulated over time was robbed. Although this harvest was huge, it was nothing.
Even after taking control of Yunguang Civilization, he can get huge profits from Yunguang Civilization every year, at least 200 million silver coins every year, which can be called a steady stream of financial resources, which is nothing.
——Even if the profit concession to trading parties is 10%, Yunguang Civilization's biological products industry still has considerable profits. The most important thing is that for this set of industries and the cost of foreign trade, only Yunguang coins need to be paid internally. What is collected from the outside world is silver coins.
Obviously, all silver coins collected from the outside world belong to human civilization. The Yunguang coins that need to be paid internally will be paid by the Lotta government.
As for internal economic expansion, currency devaluation, etc., that has nothing to do with us humans. If you Yunguang people can't survive anymore, go to your government. You can't find us humans to blame.
In Han Yang's view, the most significant gain is actually another thing.
There are several billions of scientific research experts and technical talents at least level 4.7 in Yunguang Civilization, as well as all the technical data accumulated by Yunguang Civilization after tens of thousands of years of development.
As long as all this can be digested, human civilization will immediately reach around level 4.7 civilization from the original level of around 4.3.
However, level 4.7 civilization is already qualified enough to conduct preliminary research on the dark force theory! It can even be said that becoming a level 4.7 civilization has already touched the threshold of a level five civilization!
Although it is just a threshold, this result is still remarkable enough.
Generally speaking, relying on the absorption and digestion of technology from other civilizations to achieve improvement will have a serious impact on the scientific research potential of one's own civilization, basically losing the possibility of continued improvement. But for human civilization, this hidden danger naturally does not exist.
However, how many civilizations are there in the entire galaxy, and how many are level five civilizations? How many people can touch the threshold of level five civilization?
Most of the fourth-level civilizations only relied on accumulating silver coins and painstakingly buying technological data to upgrade to the fourth-level civilization. They even exhausted the development potential of the civilization itself and could not recover for thousands of years. They could only survive in 4.1. , the 4.2 level is struggling.
This is the harvest that is more important in the eyes of the ruling committee members than the strategic buffer period, huge silver coin wealth, and long-term stable financial resources.
Even with this one gain, it is worth ignoring all the other gains.
"The war is over. Through the following negotiations, we can strive for at least 50 years, and as long as hundreds of years of peaceful development. Then... let's digest our gains."
Changes in the external situation immediately brought about changes in internal policies.
Under the orders of the ruling committee, interstellar navigation is still strictly controlled. After all, the risk of war has not been completely eliminated, but navigation within the star system and between different planets is completely liberalized.
Ordinary people who have been trapped on the surface of the planet for hundreds of years can finally take a free spaceship to embark on an interstellar journey.
Then came the massive surge in interplanetary travel, and demands for interstellar travel, interstellar visits, and civilian interstellar trade quickly emerged, leading to an unprecedented boom in the private spacecraft industry.
The further circulation of materials and the further freedom of the social atmosphere made the entire civilization prosperous.
Ordinary people were enjoying this rare peaceful time, and the soldiers and fleets had withdrawn to their home galaxies, and no longer had to be ready to fight at any time, but the most critical group of people in the development of civilization, scientific researchers, always maintained a fighting state.
It is necessary to thoroughly absorb and digest the huge amount of scientific and technological data from the Yunguang civilization in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately, this time is different from the past.
In the past, the lecturers sent by the civilization that bought and sold scientific and technological data were arrogant, perfunctory in their lectures, and impatient when they asked a few more questions, and they were eager to deal with the task as soon as possible.
Human scientists can only swallow their anger and lower their posture to learn something.
But this time, it was the Yunguang scientists who kowtowed and begged human scientists to learn. Not only did they describe every technical detail in detail, fearing that human students would not understand, they also welcomed questions after class. If there were not enough people asking questions, the Yunguang scientists would be sad.
There was no way, the KPI was there. If they could not complete the teaching task and teach human students, they would not get enough Yunguang coins. Without enough Yunguang coins, how could they survive?
Besides, humans were the victors and they were the losers. Even if they had great courage, they would not dare to be cold to these conquerors.
Grasping the digestion of technology, grasping the internal rectification, and accumulating strength to prepare for a larger-scale war became the most important tasks of this period of peace.
In addition, Han Yang also seized this opportunity to publicly release an announcement through the official account of human civilization.
The content of the announcement was very simple, just declaring that from now on, human civilization would provide security protection for a total of five third-level civilizations, namely Ziyun Civilization, Chitie Civilization, Yuanshan Civilization, Fix Civilization, and Motan Civilization, and the content was to ensure that the above five civilizations were not threatened by any strange life.
They said they were only trying to ensure that they were not threatened by strange life forms, and on the surface they were still maintaining a stance of not intervening in wars between low-level civilizations. However, with this statement, which blind third-level civilization, or even fourth-level civilization, would dare to deal with these civilizations? (End of this chapter)
