Section 162
It seems that octopus people cannot survive by breathing air like terrestrial life races.
What they breathed was the gas emitted by the blue liquid.
Of course none of this matters.
What matters is what they talk about.
…
"Captain Fogg, whom we lost contact with for five galaxy years, is back!"
"Fogg is not an outstanding merchant captain. He only does ordinary interstellar transactions and is not worthy of our attention! As long as there are no accidents on those merchant ships."
Even with the power and financial resources of the Hermina Interstellar Chamber of Commerce.
Losing a fleet of more than 30 merchant ships would also be very distressing.
"This is a sad topic. Fogg lost all his merchant ships and crew members! Now, he is the only one left alive."
"Then what more can you say?"
"Arrest Fogg and transfer him to the trial court!"
Several octopus men shouted angrily.
One of the octopus men said: "Fogg must pay the price for his incompetence! Although this cannot restore our huge losses, it can also remind the captains of other caravans."
"Second!"
"Wait a mininute!"
An old octopus man with some wrinkles in his skin said: "It will be a matter of the future to judge Fogg. He is still in the star field thousands of light years away."
"Huh? Didn't you say he came back?"
"He brought back a message!"
"..."
"This is great news!"
The old octopus man said: "In the Gabriel star system thousands of light-years away from us, a level 3 technological civilization—the first-sequence civilization empire—was born!"
One of the octopus men showed a surprised expression.
"I seem to remember that the Pelo Empire rules the Gabriel star system?"
"That was once upon a time. The civilization of the Pero Empire has become history. The new ruling civilization is the first-series civilized empire, and their ruler is called His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Well, what good news does Fogg bring back?"
"A living planet!"
Without waiting for the senior executives to ask.
The old octopus man continued: "The first-sequence civilization empire needs core scientific and technological data on highly intelligent robots. If we can give it to them, they will exchange a living planet with us."
"How is this possible?"
"The value of a living planet far exceeds the technical data of highly intelligent robots!"
"That's true, but..."
The old octopus man smiled and said: "The first-sequence civilization empire is just a newly promoted level 3 technological civilization. To them, the value of this cutting-edge technology is more than a living planet."
"That makes sense."
"Without our help, it would take at least several thousand galaxy years for this civilization to conquer the technological field of highly intelligent robots."
"It's worth exchanging one living planet for thousands of galaxy years!"
"These civilized empires are the real rich!"
"It's a pity that we are interstellar merchants and have no right to attack astrological planets."
The senior officials of the Hermina Chamber of Commerce all showed envy, even jealous expressions.
Only civilized empires have the right to attack the astrological planet.
And these interstellar chambers of commerce, no matter how powerful they are, do not dare to worry about those planets. This is the bottom line of the Akuiya civilization.
Once they get involved in the realm of interstellar warfare.
The Akuyan civilization will eat them in one bite and deprive them of all their wealth.
"Now, the opportunity has come!"
The old octopus man said: "As long as we agree to the deal, our Chamber of Commerce can get a living planet!"
"The First Civilization Sequence Empire will issue imperial documents for us to prove that the transaction is fair and just! Even the top leaders of our civilization have no right to interfere!"
"Of course, the things we trade to the First Sequence Civilization Empire cannot be marked as the technological core data of highly intelligent robots! This is illegal!"
"It must be covered up with some ordinary scientific data."
"I think so!"
"We believe everyone is very clear about the value of a living planet!"
"I agree with this deal too!"
"Second!"
At this time, an octopus man said: "How can we guarantee that the first-sequence civilization empire will allow us to successfully take over that living planet? If something goes wrong during the period, we will get nothing."
"Yes!"
An octopus man echoed: "The Gabriel star system is not close to us."
"Even if we sailed at full speed, it would take nearly nine galactic months to arrive."
"If the first-sequence civilization empire violates the agreement and refuses to give us a life planet after obtaining relevant technical information, then it seems that we have nothing to do with them."
"That is a level 3 technological civilization after all!"
Although they are the top interstellar chamber of commerce in the Akuiya civilization.
But it doesn’t have the strength to go to war with a level 3 technological civilization.
Besides, they have no right to go to war.
If the First Sequence Civilization Empire refuses their merchant ships to enter the Gabriel star system, or even sends an interstellar fleet to attack them on the pretext of invasion, wouldn't they have to suffer a dumb loss?
The old octopus man smiled and said: "Remember, we come from the Akuiya civilization that dominates the Dorum Nebula Alliance. How can a civilization empire that has just been promoted to level 3 have the guts to trick us?"
"Civilization is our strongest supporter!"
"That's right!"
"If the First Sequence Civilization Empire dares to cheat us, then we just need to report it to the top leaders of the civilization, and the top leaders will have enough reasons to threaten this new Level 3 civilization!"
"We will only pay a large fine."
"And the First Sequence Civilization Empire will pay a heavy price for what they did!"
"Second!"
"So, we don't have to worry at all!"
The old octopus man said: "The rulers of the First Sequence Civilization Empire know the severity of the problem! It is not worth it to be sanctioned by our Aquia civilization for a life planet."
"I believe that our Hermina Interstellar Chamber of Commerce will eventually get the life planet promised by the ruler of this empire!"
Hearing this.
The other octopus people nodded one after another.
The expression was no longer hesitant, but extremely excited.
That is a life planet!
Whether it is mining mineral resources or establishing a chamber of commerce development base, it can provide their Hermina Interstellar Chamber of Commerce with a profit return of hundreds or thousands of times.
This deal, their chamber of commerce made a lot of money!
An octopus man said: "The transaction can be carried out, but we should hand over the relevant scientific and technological data to the First Sequence Civilization Empire after taking over the life planet!"
"¨` In this way, we can also grasp their weaknesses!"
"What is a weakness?"
"Human beings, as a species of life, all have ribs! Weaknesses are weaknesses. I learned this from a certain human."
"Okay!"
However, the old octopus man waved his tentacles and said: "Fogg said in the communication that the First Sequence Civilization Empire urgently needs relevant scientific and technological data. If we delay time, the ruler of the empire may be dissatisfied with our Chamber of Commerce."
An octopus man hurriedly said: "Forget it, I believe this empire does not have the courage to pit us."
The old octopus man nodded.
"Now, let's make a decision. Do you agree with this deal?"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Second!"
The senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce present had no reason to refuse the deal.
The old octopus man was not surprised either. He smiled and said, "I will have someone transmit the relevant scientific and technological data to Fogg later. The next thing the Chamber of Commerce will do is to organize a large-scale interstellar caravan to the Gabriel star system!"
"After nine galactic moons."
"We will have a life planet that belongs entirely to our Hermina Interstellar Chamber of Commerce!"
"Fogg has made great contributions and should receive the highest level of rewards from the Chamber of Commerce!"
All the senior executives were excited.
However, they didn't know.
Octopus man Fogg was now in tears, without any joy of making great contributions.
Because he felt the deep malice from Fang Ze.
His not-so-big octopus brain told him.
