Chapter 404 I Am Special
Under this circumstance, it is reasonable for the other level 5 civilizations in the Milky Way to "lie flat".
Since it is impossible to advance to level 6 civilization anyway, then maintain the current status and position, bully lower-level civilizations when you have nothing to do, and squeeze the interests of lower-level civilizations, isn't it good? Why do you have to fight for a level 6 civilization?
Isn't this obviously offending the founder civilizations? If you are not careful, the founder civilization may find a reason to punish you, and maybe the civilization will be extinct.
In this way, the striving for strength of the Luotu civilization is even more incompatible with the other civilizations.
But it is still the same sentence, everyone can see it clearly, why can't the Luotu civilization see it clearly?
At first, Han Yang couldn't figure this out. But the existing information only hinted at this possibility, and Han Yang thought hard for a long time.
But in the end, it was some small things that happened within the human civilization that made Han Yang finally figure it out.
In the process of managing human society, he once accidentally saw a man desperately pursuing a woman. Although he was rejected many times, he still did not change his original intention and pursued hard, and even contributed most of his work income.
The woman was beautiful, but her style was relatively bad. Others could see at a glance that the woman was hanging the man. But only this man always believed that as long as he remained infatuated and devoted himself to it, he would definitely be able to move the woman.
This was just a matter of morality, and Han Yang would naturally not interfere. But combined with the current situation of Luotu civilization, Han Yang understood something.
There are always some people who think they are special. Coupled with the occasional hints from the pursued, and the bright prospects after the pursuit is successful, even if others advise again, it is impossible to make this person sober.
Han Yang believes that Luotu civilization is very likely to fall into this situation at this moment.
In order to drive Luotu civilization better, the creator civilization must give Luotu civilization some sweetness from time to time, so that they think it is possible to upgrade to level six. In addition to the self-confidence, they believe that they are different from other level 5 civilizations, have some special characteristics, or have a special relationship with a certain creator civilization, etc.
In addition to the sunk costs paid for thousands of years before, and the desire for a bright future after becoming a level 6 civilization, Luotu civilization will be deeply trapped in the beautiful imagination of the future, unable to wake up, or... unwilling to wake up.
Han Yang believes that this is the truth of the matter.
However, no matter how Luotu civilization fantasizes and how sure it is, it will eventually usher in a cruel reality.
You are a cake that is divided, and you also want to be the one who divides the cake? Before, I just gave you a little sweetness to make you be honest and be divided. You dare to imagine that you can get the cake knife in your hand?
Just like the woman thought, I just gave you a little sweetness to make you persevere in my efforts and not let you despair. Do you really want to get promoted?
Dreaming?
The end of the matter was that the man finally repented, saw the true face of the woman, and left resolutely. Although there were many losses, he finally started a normal life.
Then...what will happen when the hopes of the Luotu civilization are finally dashed and the true face of the creator civilization is finally seen clearly?
Han Yang judged that the opportunity for human civilization to break away from the Silver Alliance system will be at that time.
And it is also very simple to judge whether this opportunity has arrived.
There is no need to send probes, spy satellites, etc. to the Luotu civilization. In fact, humans cannot do it.
There is no need to collect diplomatic data and information. None of them are needed.
It is only necessary to continuously and massively rent the technological creations of the Luotu civilization and employ their engineering forces to carry out some projects that do not involve war. Of course, all of this has been deliberately calculated, with low unit prices, low profits, and more trouble.
If the Luotu civilization still has a strong enough desire for silver coins, then they will take such low-quality orders regardless of the consequences.
Once the Luotu civilization realizes the truth, this desire for silver coins will inevitably be lost immediately. Because they have been educated by the cruel reality and realize that it is useless to earn more silver coins.
Such low-quality orders will naturally not be accepted.
From this, human civilization can judge whether this "opportunity" will eventually arrive.
This is the real reason why Han Yang ordered human civilization to strengthen business exchanges with Luotu civilization.
So, at this moment when several major civilizations are still fighting fiercely, Li Hai, the commercial commissioner of human civilization responsible for Luotu civilization affairs, once again found Luo Zhaoyangdong.
Luo Zhaoyangdong looked at Li Hai with a smile: "What can I do for you?"
Li Hai said: "We want to rent a smallest aerospace mothership to go about 1,200 light years away to perform a planetary atmosphere transformation mission."
"Of course. But... your human civilization is now at war, and you still have spare energy to perform tasks for other civilizations?"
Luo Zhaoyangdong expressed doubts about this. Li Hai's face became bitter: "You have to squeeze out spare energy even if you don't have spare energy... It is during the war, and it is inconvenient to mine various resources. You have to buy a lot of resources and materials, and spend silver coins like water. If you don't find a way to earn some silver coins, you really can't fight this war."
Li Hai sighed deeply.
Luo Zhaoyangdong's face showed a touch of sympathy: "That's right. Please rest assured that I will strive for the most favorable transportation policy for you."
Li Hai immediately hit the snake and followed the stick: "Can the discount be greater? Our two civilizations have always had a good relationship, but now it is a time when we are in a difficult situation."
Luo Zhaoyangdong thought about it: "I will try my best to get you a price of 0.16 silver coins per 10,000 tons of materials per light year."
This price cannot be said to be unfavorable. Li Hai was still dissatisfied: "We will carry out a large number of similar tasks in the future. Besides, our situation is really difficult. Can we get a better deal? How about 0.13 silver coins?"
Luo Zhaoyangdong's expression changed and he was very embarrassed: "This is impossible, the price is too low. It also costs a lot to dispatch the space carrier and the crew.
Our profit from this single task of yours is only 50,000 silver coins at most, and we have to keep the price down, and the profit is even less than 30,000 silver coins. We can't handle it. "
Li Hai ignored it, gave full play to his strengths, and repeatedly entangled with Luo Zhaoyangdong. After several rounds of negotiations, the price was finally reduced to 0.135 silver coins.
Luo Zhaoyangdong looked helpless: "This price... is really good, if not... ugh."
He shook his head and said nothing more.
"With such a low profit, such a small and troublesome project, Luo Tu Civilization also accepted it?"
After receiving the news, the ruling committee members understood.
If it weren't for the strong desire for silver coins, under normal circumstances, human civilization would not accept this kind of task.
Don’t forget that human civilization is now a fourth-level civilization and has the ability and qualifications to serve lower-level civilizations.
The opportunity has not come yet, we have to wait.
Next, Li Hai had frequent contacts with Luo Zhaoyangdong. A large number of low-quality orders have been dumped by human civilization to Luotu civilization, either for planetary transformation, cleanup of low-level strange life forms, or interstellar transportation and device installation.
Luo Zhaoyangdong looked helpless, and sometimes even a little impatient, but every time without exception, he took over these tasks, and was repeatedly pestered and negotiated by Li Hai to drive the price to an extremely low level.
So, while the war was going on, human civilization began the process of frantically earning silver coins. In the eyes of external civilization, a conclusion will appear invariably.
The combat conference room of the five major civilization coalition forces.
"In recent years, human civilization has been moving a lot... In just a few years, it has taken on more than 100 missions."
"Hmph, it seems that we haven't put enough pressure on them, and they still have enough energy to carry out the mission."
"You can't say that. I think exactly the opposite."
A commander said with a gloomy face: "I have noticed that the tasks performed by human civilization are mainly low-engineering and high-tech. Such tasks consume very little engineering power and can save manpower in comparison. material resources.
At the same time, the unit price of tasks is also low, and the profit is not much.
This can only mean that human civilization no longer has much silver coin reserves, and there is not much internal engineering power left, so it can only use this method to extend its life.
From this, I conclude that the war potential of human civilization has been squeezed to the extreme by us, so we have to accept a large number of silver coin missions frequently and in large numbers despite being under great internal pressure. "
The commander's analysis was echoed by many colleagues.
“I really don’t understand what higher civilizations are thinking.”
One commander couldn't help but complain: "If we mobilize more warships, we can directly wipe out humans. But we are not allowed to mobilize too many, so we can only spend time here, which is a waste of time.
I still want to finish the fight as soon as possible and return to civilization as soon as possible. "
"Lot, don't worry. Looking at the current situation, humans will soon be unable to withstand it. If we destroy them then, we will be fine."
…
Time passed slowly, and more than a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
The flames of war are still burning around the solar system and the Yunguang Galaxy, with no signs of extinguishing. The coalition commanders have become increasingly agitated.
"How can these damn humans be so resistant? They haven't collapsed yet? If you ask me, we should have launched a large-scale war long ago, directly mobilized millions of warships, and besieged their capital galaxy! They would have broken their galaxy long ago. !”
The commander named Lot had a ferocious look on his face: "When the time comes, I will use the most backward massacre method to kill these damn humans one by one! Let them taste what fear and despair feel like!"
"Save their leader to be killed last! Let their leader see with his own eyes the destruction of his civilization!"
"According to nutritional analysis, the bodies of intelligent life forms of human civilization are quite in line with the nutritional needs of our civilization. I will have to try it then.
If it really tastes good, I might have to secretly raise a batch and keep it for later consumption. "
"Haha, if you really do this, you have to pay attention to confidentiality. Eating intelligent life is strictly prohibited by the Silver Alliance."
"If I don't eat them myself, I won't be able to get rid of this feeling in my heart! Damn it, I haven't collapsed for so long, how much time was wasted!"
In the joint operations conference room, the commanders were full of complaints.
On Earth, in the ruling conference room, the ruling committee members looked solemn.
"According to intelligence, the Luotu civilization has maintained this strong desire for silver coins for at least 1,500 years.
According to our analysis, the price offered by Yinmeng for Luotu Civilization should be in line with the characteristics of "although it is huge and although it is difficult to achieve the goal, it is at least possible."
Therefore, the more likely range is between 1.2 and 1.8 trillion silver coins.
If this were not the case, Luotu civilization would easily despair and collapse.
With Luotu Civilization's impressive fifth-level civilization and the efficiency of earning silver coins with all its strength, an average of at least 10 billion silver coins will be recorded every year. In 1,500 years, that’s 1.5 trillion silver coins.
With such efficiency, Luotu Civilization should be close to earning enough silver coins. We have waited for more than a hundred years, why haven’t we earned enough? "
There is no reason why the ruling committee members are not anxious.
At this moment, the founder civilization behind the scenes, which has good intentions and malicious intentions towards itself, has apparently reached a stalemate. Only then will human civilization be in the current state of "neither being extinct nor being able to achieve scientific and technological progress."
But it’s hard to say how long this stalemate will last. Maybe there will be some changes in the next moment. At that time, it is really impossible to predict what the situation of civilization will be and what fate it will usher in.
The only chance of survival lies in ushering in the opportunity as soon as possible and planning to leave the silver alliance system as soon as possible.
But Luo Tu Civilization seems to be addicted to earning silver coins. It has been so long and it is still taking on tasks crazily.
"At this time, our patience and determination are even more tested. Continue to wait, continue to maintain, and never get into trouble. The social system must not be in trouble.
If we mess up ourselves, there is really no hope.
Also, on the Yunguang Civilization side, we must be optimistic about the Lotta government and organize the Yunguang people well. It doesn't matter how many people they die, the project output must not be less.
When necessary, Lotta can be replaced or even killed! If he can't complete our mission, what's the use of keeping him! "
At the critical moment, Han Yang remained calm in the face of danger and successfully stabilized his position. Seeing Han Yang so calm and confident, the anxiety slowly disappeared from people's hearts.
Keep on enduring, keep on waiting. Only this, only this. There is no other way.
Time is still passing slowly.
One day, Li Hai contacted Luo Zhaoyangdong again.
Luo Zhaoyangdong seemed to be in a good mood, with a dark, round face full of smiles. The whole person feels a sense of relaxation in all aspects, from the heart to the body.
Li Hai's heart was solemn, but his face remained calm, and he started business negotiations again.
But this time, Luo Zhaoyangdong gave a different reply.
"Of course we can take on the mission. But the price..."
He pondered for a moment: "The price is going to go up." (End of chapter)
