Chapter 550 The North Is Really Going to Change!
Chapter 550 The North - Things are really going to change!
The greenery trading market is also something that the human government has discussed many times in the past half month.
What is the most profitable?
Of course it is a platform economy!
In the past earth era, countless examples have proved this!
The density of civilization in this place in the north is something that the outside world of Pangea has never had. In the past, humans would wander around for twenty or thirty years before encountering a civilization.
However, here, there are hundreds of cities in one area, and the density of civilization is unimaginably high.
In addition, the civilization here is indeed not very strong, and Green City is sure to intimidate all parties, so this idea came up.
As for when humans will start again?
This is indeed a problem.
Lu Yuan has actually been emphasizing internally that staying in one place for a long time is not conducive to development, so even if the trading platform is built, people cannot stay here permanently.
But Green City is currently unable to pass through the extremely cold hell in the north. It doesn’t have the strength!
The space transfer of [Monster] will also take a long time.
Therefore, there is no need to think about leaving for the time being, developing yourself is the way to go.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out a map: "Our city will be moved to a mine near the Ulan clan, and the trading market will be officially established at this location."
“I also ask all my friends to spread the word.”
"No matter how weak a civilization is, it still has civilization points. We buy civilization points on a large scale, and the ratio converted into aura is 1:50."
"Of course, we don't have much aura on hand, so we basically trade things for things! Everyone has seen the goods we have in Green City. They are abundant in quantity and variety, and are open to all civilizations!"
"As long as you have money, we will deliver to your door!"
When Ta Gang, the city lord of Ulan City, saw this map, his pupils suddenly dilated and he straightened his back.
He... made the right bet!
Once this trading market opens, the flow of people will immediately increase!
Even Green City will become the center of the North!
Isn't this small city of theirs going to heaven immediately?
How much business can they do as long as they buy a floating fortress and help transport the goods?
The representatives of other races looked at the map, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and all looked at Tagang, whose face was full of red light.
Why was such a good opportunity snatched away by you?
And this matter is indeed big enough and may affect the pattern of the northern border!
Even the notorious goblin chief "Braden Digger" squinted his eyes, thinking about what changes would happen in the future.
"One point of civilization points can be exchanged for 50 souls... That's 50 souls... Damn, in comparison, the dwarves are just scammers. The ratio they provide is only 1:10..."
"The weaker the civilization, the fewer civilization points it has... I don't know how many we have. A pretty good floating fortress only costs 5 civilization points."
Brayden dug a grave and gnawed on his fingers, constantly calculating in his mind: "And once the trading market opens, most cities will slowly become stronger. All kinds of equipment and weapons can be purchased. Cannons and firearms may be rampant. There are ways to rob. It will become difficult to walk..."
"Do we have to change our ways from now on?"
Although he looks ugly and is short in stature, he has a very active mind.
"Can the goblin clan benefit from this? It's time to end the wandering life..."
"Commander Continent, what are the rules of the trading market?" The lizard people on the other side were also very excited and asked eagerly.
"It's very simple." Lu Yuan distributed some information, "In principle, as long as the price is right, everything can be bought and everything can be sold!"
"However, we are a civilization that advocates freedom and loves peace. In order to reduce war in the world, we oppose the slave trade and the sale of addictive drugs."
Many races looked at him with wide eyes, loving peace?
Then why do you make so many cannons?
However, prohibiting the slave trade is a good thing for weak civilizations, at least they will not be taken away for no reason.
"What is the cost of living here? If the population increases in the future, you won't be able to provide free food and accommodation all the time, right?" Tagang asked again in a very cooperative manner.
Lu Yuan continued: "Our booth fee is free. A civilization can get a 100-square-meter exhibition hall for free. If it is larger, it will need to pay for the construction cost."
"As for eating, drinking, and diarrhea, you really have to bear it yourself."
"We won't charge you Lingyun either. We only need our internal currency to cover the expenses. Please look at the supply list."
Everyone looked at the information, which introduced the purchasing power of Green City's internal currency.
For example, the price of a ton of rice is about 2,000 yuan, which is enough to feed one person for several years (except centaurs).
This price is relatively stable and is almost constant unless the relationship between supply and demand changes significantly.
The annual rent for a fully furnished room of 80 square meters is 8,000 yuan.
The cost of one kilowatt hour of electricity is 0.3 yuan.
The price of one ton of hot water is 2.3 yuan.
The price of a ton of copper is 70,000 yuan; the price of a ton of pig iron is 8,000 yuan.
"Industrial products are too cheap..." The price of a ton of iron at 8,000 yuan stunned these guys. This is the productivity of a serious technological civilization.
"The price of 1 Lingyun is basically around 100-200 million, and the purchasing power is very strong!"
So the cost of living in Green City is affordable for every race.
Lu Yuan added: "We allow other civilizations to do business in our market."
"If a trade occurs in the trading market. If these two civilizations want us to be the middleman, a 5-8% handling fee will be charged. We in Green City guarantee fair trade and deliver goods to your door."
"If two civilizations are unwilling to let us be the middleman in a trade, no tax will be levied. Of course, all logistics should be borne by yourself, and the so-called trade risks should be judged by you."
Everyone was amazed. This business... You can make 8% of the money just by delivering goods once!
It's simply a profit without any investment!
If there are 500 cities doing business here in the future, how much trade volume will be generated each year? 8% per year is also a huge income.
Of course, to do this, you must have excellent reputation and strong war strength.
Otherwise, why would others believe you?
These races are frantically calculating what kind of chain reaction will be brought about by the emergence of a large trade market.
The North is really about to change.
There will definitely be races that seize the opportunity and become stronger.
There will definitely be more conflicts and... wars?
But so what?
Living in this world is not easy in itself.
Only by constantly strengthening oneself can one settle down and make a living!
"Finally!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "I must emphasize that we in Green City make money openly and honestly, and everything is fair."
"Civilization points become very important as long as they develop to a certain extent, especially after the third-level civilization. I don't need to hide this. So please think twice before selling civilization points!"
"May all civilizations have a glorious future!"
...
...
After the meeting, the representatives of the seven races left Green City with great ambition and rushed back to their hometowns without stopping.
Each race has its own thoughts, either thinking about how many civilization points they have; or thinking about how to seek greater benefits?
But they all felt a sense of historical mission.
In the first eight eras, there were pain and failure, betrayal and separation, as well as happiness and joy, rise and glory.
Countless relics of civilization recorded their vivid history and the final cold ending - the era disaster, no one can survive.
So, what about us?
Although the Ninth Era is long, when can we prepare for a rainy day if we just muddle through?
When will the unchanging environment come to an end?
Occasionally, some far-sighted leaders will feel a little urgent, but they can only comfort themselves by force: if a city wants to become stronger, it is not easy for one person to push it. It is the accumulation of resources, talents, culture, and systems that can produce qualitative changes.
But at this moment... the opportunity really appeared!
Destiny is always in our own hands, just like a wheel, only by pushing it bit by bit can we leave deep traces in the snow.
The marks in the thousands of snow can create the great era of the future!
...
"Children, our era has arrived."
The chief of the goblin clan ran on the snow with his companions.
Everyone was wearing a carbon nano suit and carrying a solar backpack. The north wind was howling and it was snowing lightly, but they were warm in mind and body, and their eyes were full of joy.
"Chief, what should we do in the future?"
"Call the tribesmen who are wandering outside and extract our civilization points first!" "Braden Digging Graves" was staring and enjoying the "Mushroom Chicken Rice" given by humans.
"Chief, we have 12 tribes. The other tribes don't listen to us."
"We extract our own civilization points and buy weapons and equipment first. Before the other tribes can react, conquer them!" "Braden Digging Graves"'s ambition was burning, "Step on the enemies of the past hard, history always advances on the saber, and this world is a world of the survival of the fittest."
"Who stipulated that our goblin tribe is a weak tribe? Who stipulated that we must live a wandering life? Seize the opportunity and unify the tribe!"
"The opportunity has come, the goblins should burn and roar!"
"Burning and roaring!!" A group of subordinates cheered and shouted wildly.
…
The Ulan tribe on the other side lost their horses and was sent back by the Green City spacecraft, accompanied by a large group of scientific expedition team members. It is expected to reach the destination in one day.
Everyone couldn't stop smiling.
"After returning, we must quickly send people to cut down the trees on that land! And flatten some small hills to facilitate the landing of Green City."
Tagang wore sunglasses on his nose, which were given to him by humans. They can enhance vision and effectively prevent snow blindness.
The landing of a city still has relatively high requirements for terrain.
Even if the plains are flat, there are still some ups and downs, and it takes a little rest before landing.
"Lord City Lord, we have to grow more food!" The Grand Secretary was beaming with joy as he suggested, "With so many races moving into Green City in the future, the demand for food will obviously increase! Green City doesn't care about this little income, but we do. For example, how much food do the centaurs eat in a day?"
"We sell them cheaper food."
"And those goblins like to eat short-term porridge, which is very unique."
"We also need to develop the brewing industry, slave trade, casinos, arenas, and brothels! We will arrange all these low-end service industries that Green City doesn't care about!"
"Constantine, you are such a genius!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but start to imagine how they would get rich in the future.
With so many races, there will always be demands of one kind or another.
In order to maintain its status, Green City is unlikely to engage in that kind of low-level service industry, but you know, low-level service industries also make money, so it's their turn in Ulan City.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!
"The stronger the Green City trading market is, the more foreign population there are, and the more benefits we can get."
"But Grand Secretary, isn't our current strength a bit unworthy of engaging in slave trade?" said another calmer soldier captain, Tungmu. "If there is a dispute, Green City will not come to care about us. They themselves are against this kind of thing."
"Then wait until we grow up a little bit, and then do these difficult things... open bars and casinos first. Oh, by the way, we have to quickly connect to Green City on the road, and then buy some electric cars! We don't need a lot. I saw that kind of solar bus, one can carry dozens of people."
"What a good idea!"
They were so excited that they were discussing it with great joy.
Ulan City has completely placed its bet on Green City.
The productivity structure of the future city will change with the emergence of the trading market!
So these guys used to be in a frenzy, wishing that the airship could fly faster and return home the next second.
...
And the other human city did not get too many benefits, and its mood was relatively stable.
"Sir, Ulan City is obviously going to develop. Our primary ruins are not good enough compared to this level of opportunity..."
Daogu and others were jealous and sour, with mixed feelings, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.
The city of the same origin, the human race, developed, which was more uncomfortable than the development of a foreign race.
"Why didn't we think of giving a mine as a gift! Even if we give it now, Green City can't move here, it's too late!"
"Should we move the whole family? Move to the edge of Green City?"
This is indeed an idea. The North is vast and sparsely populated. Even in the geothermal area, there are many vacant lots.
But they couldn't bear to leave the bottles and jars at home. A city with millions of people, the amount of collective relocation is not to be underestimated, and some people may die on the way.
And there is a low-level ruins near them, and the resources inside have not been plundered...
Rebuilding a city is not easy, and it will take decades!
This decision is really hard for them to make.
"Or, let's just buy a city from Green City! Anyway, we have completed the civilization milestone and have a lot of civilization points."
"That's a good idea."
People racked their brains. Who wouldn't want to live in a modern city with a lot of solar panels?
And discovering the "civilization ruins" is an important milestone, so they are really lucky in Mailo City!
But they are a little reluctant. The price of a city is amazingly high...
"No, you are wrong! I think we should wait and see for the time being, and don't put all our lives on it." Suddenly someone said.
This is the wise man of Maikou City, named Roboko, who is over 300 years old. The wrinkles on his face are like deep ravines: "Green City wants to rise, there is still a huge threshold."
"If they can't get over it, their trading market will only be a small fight."
"You mean... the dwarves?"
"That's right! The dwarves went to great lengths and spent decades spreading the glyph compass in order to collect more civilization points, but they were scooped up by Green City."
"Guess what the dwarves would think?" The old man narrowed his eyes.
"Will they initiate a gambling fight?"
"Yes, I bet that once the news spreads, the dwarves will definitely come to gamble!"
"Although it is unlikely that the dwarves and Green City will engage in a large-scale exchange of fire, as long as the gambling fight is won, it will cause a devastating blow to Green City's reputation."
"You should know what reputation and reputation mean."
Life in the North is cruel, all cities are very realistic, and every civilization is very strong. Level 6 masters also have to charge into the battle in conflicts and cannot live a life of luxury.
"Face" is an ethereal thing, but it is very important.
One punch is enough to save a hundred punches.
The face cannot be stained with dust. Once the face is broken, the inside must be kept.
Once the face bleeds, the inside will be damaged at the least, and the inside will be zero at the worst.
In a platform economy like the trading market, only the unique "boss" can suppress many civilizations.
You are the boss and can easily slaughter us, so naturally you have the final say.
But if you are not the boss, I am sorry. There are always some people who are obsessed with profit and are eager to make a fortune.
At that time, the cost of governance will not be the same as it is now.
"So, let's see the result of their gambling in the future."
The old man pointed to the sky and said slowly: "If the dwarves win, the center of the trading market will be transferred to the dwarves. The investment in Ulan City will be wasted."
"If the dwarves lose... we... just buy a city and go there, it's not too late!"
...
For all the citizens of Green City, this major decision also means a change in their future destiny.
In the past, Green City has been wandering and moving towards the distance.
Because of this, it has encountered challenges again and again, and has also gained opportunities again and again.
Now, people will develop steadily here for a period of time and establish a trading market, which can be said to be a change in the development route!
This news is like a blockbuster bomb, which has caused a great social discussion, and it has not stopped for half a month.
"Comrades, friends, hello, it's been a long time since I talked to you about the future development."
On this day, Lu Yuan delivered an important speech.
In fact, he rarely appeared on TV in recent years, and only showed up at critical moments. After all, he is a lazy person and advocates that humans manage themselves.
Lu Yuan's voice not only appeared on the screens of Xiaodongtian, but also appeared in the dream world. Almost all citizens could hear his speech.
"First of all, it should be stated that this kind of settlement is not eternal, but only a stopgap measure. Because we are temporarily unable to leave the North, we choose to settle and develop."
"There are two ways to leave at present. The first is to cross the ice barrier; the second is to return to the alien space where the [monster] is and let the [monster] take us away... I believe everyone already knows these two methods."
"Once we have the ability to leave, we should still choose to move forward and not sink into the current comfort and enjoyment."
"We should not forget our goals. The mother civilization of mankind is still waiting for a meeting; the secrets of the era disaster are still waiting for our pursuit; the major ruins of the ninth era are waiting for us to explore."
"The passage of time is the most cruel. Every day we stay now may bring more regrets in the future... We have seen many tragedies. Only by seizing every opportunity can we reduce the possibility of tragedy."
In each classroom of Xiaodongtian, students looked at the big screen seriously.
Many staff members in the dream also sighed softly.
In order to cultivate children's fighting spirit from an early age, everyone has a dream experience class.
The first scene is "The Decline of Green Civilization". Miss Conch does not care about personal privacy, but reproduces the story that happened so that every child can experience it.
The second scene is "Source Fire Civilization and the Great Mirage Dragon". How did the Great Mirage Dragon protect the Source Fire Civilization? What is the scene of an entire civilization becoming a hibernation warehouse like?
This immersive experience class has a very good educational effect!
Many children feel sad after returning to reality, and even shed sad tears.
The third scene is the latest addition. How did the Blue Peng civilization decline?
The survivors of the Blue Peng civilization personally constructed the quasi-interstellar civilization in the dream, and found a way to move the horror field of [Ghost·Spiritual Vision] in.
It only takes one night, and the magnificent city of eight million people disappears directly.
This kind of education scared some children with poor tolerance and cried for three days and three nights-but, so what?
This is the real cruel world!
Humanity must struggle for a long time to stand firm in the face of various difficulties!
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and he admitted in his heart that the educational effect of "real dreams" was indeed very good: "Comrades, it's time for us to wake up collectively."
"We no longer need to be trapped in dreams for a long time. It's time to return to reality. It is expected that all of us will wake up from the dream in two years."
