"Including the 13 ancient trade routes that are still in use, and the current earth trade routes of the galaxy, the large and small are counted, and the total number of medicines and local products sold is one hundred and seven, except for the special red ship route. The vast majority of these routes are on the main subspace routes, and a small part will also enter the feeder lanes, which account for about 377% of the main subspace network, and if the mileage of the feeder corridors is included in the total number of subspaces, then it can account for about 82% of the total, and if all the registered secondary waterways are counted. The share of the earth's trade lanes will further decline to 003%. In this way, the Earth's trade routes use no more than 3/10,000 of the galaxy transportation network to supply 100% of the quotas that should theoretically be allocated to all the countries of the galaxy, and the efficiency is also no more than 3/10,000. ”

"It's amazing, the important earth resource trade in the universe, in fact, can be completely transported in accordance with the quota is less than three ten-thousandths, even according to the total amount of countries and star fields, as long as there is a trade point in the country or star field, even if all the quotas of its unit are completed, then the final transportation can fully meet the quota should not exceed 50 percent, and the remaining half is almost in a state of 'unconventional quota trade', and of them, at least half will eventually flow to the black market. Xie Shangjun looked at Gu Hanhan and spread his hands innocently, "But there is no way, this is the current situation of the universe." ”

He said: "We earthlings really can't afford this kind of thing. ”

"Normally, Earth trading companies, whether they sell medicine or local products, generally only choose planets with stable politics, good security, and prosperous commerce near the main and branch routes of subspace to set up trading points and agencies. When there are enough trade points and agencies to connect in a line, it becomes a trade line. Why must it be in the vicinity of the main arterial roads and branch routes, because only the property rights and management of the main roads in the subspace belong to the United Nations, and although only about two-thirds of the property rights and management of the branch roads belong to the United Nations, the Subspace Waterways Committee has the authority to inspect and forcibly open or close a certain subspace channel in case of emergency. In other words, the trade point agencies set up near these main roads and branch routes, once there is any wind and grass or even unexpected danger, the United Nations rescue fleet can at least come to the rescue in the morning and evening, and will not really fall into the situation of being dumplings and boiled in a pot by the aliens. “

"But if you set up a trade point agency in a secondary channel, you will really become a lone hero. The sovereignty of subspace lanes below the secondary level is basically in the country, political associations, and even private companies, armed warlords, and pirate gangs, anyway, all kinds of strange and unheard subjects you can see from everyone in the sub-level waterways, in short, the ghosts don't know when they will come out of what kind of moths, and what is even more terrifying is that the subspace waterways below the third level can only be used by civilian and commercial ships, which is simply not enough to maintain the fleet's warship jump. Not to mention the mothership, even if it is a slightly larger and more powerful warship, as soon as it gets in, the secondary subspace will collapse immediately. In case there is a life-and-death fire eyebrows or something, the United Nations fleet wants to come to the rescue, then you have to attack the city, open the space combat mode seriously, and kill a bloody way first, and then save you. ”

"Think about it, Hanhan, if you are a trade representative stationed in the agency, you will have an alien advisory group of about 100 people by your side, an alien mercenary escort team of about 5,000 to 10,000 people, and at least half of them must be traitors. With this configuration, the lone army went deep behind enemy lines, stayed in a trade point surrounded by at least 10 billion aliens, and guarded the precious earth materials worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the trade point, you don't have a chill down your spine, are you scared, and you can't sleep at night?

Gu Hanhan thought about it for a while following Xie Shangjun's prompt, and sure enough, he felt a little cold in his spine and weak legs!

"True warrior," she muttered to herself, "Xie Shao, what are you talking about a lonely hero entering the tiger**, it's just a stupid boy who accidentally broke into the cannibal tribe." You have to bring your own plug-in and be able to escape at any time in order to eat!It's not easy to make some money......"

Xie Shangjun didn't understand what the space system was, and he didn't know what it meant to be able to escape at any time with a plug-in, but he was satisfied when he saw that Gu Hanhan was so intimidated by himself that he began to feel numb. So the hand wearing the ring waved again, and in the galactic projection mirror, outside the earth trade network far away from the main channel of subspace and a mace with a large urchin on it, there were some red dots on behalf of the trading post in those gray and black barren starry sky, and the total number could be about three or five hundred. But these three or five hundred trade points are scattered across the vast galaxy, like a handful of broken sesame seeds sprinkled into a large piece of bread, which can hardly be found in the big plate of the galaxy, and each one is lonely like a flat boat in the stormy waves. And even if there are occasionally three or five red dots that are relatively close together in space, and they seem to be together, they are still lonely boats in the sea.

"There are still true warriors on the earth who are not afraid of death and go deep into the depths of the galaxy alone to open up trade points," Xie Shangjun pointed to the red dots like flat boats, the sesame seeds on the flatbread on the plate, and said a joke, "After all, there is competition in the earth trade industry, and the competition is still quite big." ”

"But those are all barefoot and unshoeed outlaws, and the traders of the earth who wash their feet and go ashore are honestly guarding their trade routes. Every company that can be called an Earth Trader holding a certain sales quota for the guild has at least one Earth Trade Route, or a significant presence in several Earth Trade Routes. The safe and profitable main trade network has long been crowded, and I just can't squeeze a few, and I can't insert a superfluous toe. The rest of the newcomers want to squeeze in and get a piece of the pie, but they have to fight to break into the dark hinterland of the universe to open up the world. One stronghold after another to excavate, to establish, to gain a firm foothold in the agency of a trade point, and then to develop and operate the next one, I don't know how many years it will take to connect these strongholds on the star map of the Waterway Management Committee, and apply to merge into the trunk network through the construction of a subspace channel above the branch line, so as to establish a trade line of its own, and then evolve into one of the giants in the Earth Trade Guild. During this period, as long as there is a war or a riot, perhaps the accumulation of hundreds of years will be wiped out. The blue wisps of the road to open the mountains and forests are almost the same as what was done thousands of years ago during the Great Voyage. ”

"It's really not easy," Gu Hanhan pondered for a moment and said, "But I think it's no problem, we can do it." Isn't it just to open up strongholds in the countries in the hinterland of the universe, and then connect them to the city to form a trade route? No matter how difficult the road is, it's not all people who have never opened it. Don't worry about security, I've got it. When I go back tonight, I'll go and save a team, and gather a few more high-level abilities from his department to do the main battle of the fleet, not to mention escorting and protecting trade points, even protecting the planets and galaxies are enough. I heard Mr. Gal say that after the reorganization of the Hu Guard, there are many high-level people who have not made a living in the Acropolis all day long, so it should not be difficult to recruit. ”

"It's not that simple. ”

Xie Dashao smiled deeply with an expression of "girl, you are so sweet", and felt very happy in his heart - turn over the serf and sing, it is finally my turn to educate the rookie tonight!

"Safety is one of the reasons, but it's not the most important one," he said. There has never been a shortage of adventurers for human beings to earn their lives, even earthlings. If it were just for safety reasons, perhaps the earthlings' trade points would have opened up with the subspace shipping lanes to any galaxy in the universe that could connect to the jump points. But in fact, the last successful establishment and entrenchment of the Earth's trade route was more than a decade ago. The Aurora Earth Native Products Trading Company, which controls 80% of the trade points on this trade route, is known as the last good luck in the local trade guild. It took them a full hundred and fifty years to build the trade route from a small company with only one desolate trading point. During this period, there were many small and medium-sized companies that set up agency points in the heart of the universe and tried to establish new trade routes, but most of them swirled up and down, and disappeared, and finally remained in the depths of the universe like sesame seeds on dough. ”

Gu Hanhan looked at the red line that Xie Shangjun had specially pointed out, starting from a bright star in the cantilever of the Milky Way Perseus, traveling tens of thousands of light-years away, and finally connecting with an old trade line from the lighthouse star. So he pointed to the star and asked, "Where is that?"

"Shake the light, Ogra's capital star. Xie Shangjun glanced at it and said casually, "I heard that it's quite prosperous, but I haven't been there." ”

Gu Hanhan let out an "oh", and then asked, "If you don't include security reasons, then what are the important reasons you said?"

"Danger is not just war and piracy, enemies are not just from the universe. Xie Shangjun smiled slightly, "The most important reason is, of course, the quota, two quotas." ”

"From the day you decide to open an Earth Trading Company, you will be doomed to be embattled on all sides, and you will be under pressure from both your Earth peers and the great buyers of the universe, and even your buyer's allies may be unable to bear the pressure to abandon you at any time, or simply suffer a catastrophe and even the country itself will disappear completely. ”

"The Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on Reserves of the Earth is a fair and equal meeting in terms of its constitution, and the principle of the States Parties on the purchase of quotas for the earth's resources is based on the country's territory, population and a dispersion coefficient with the earth, but you don't really think that it is really a fair and equal meeting, right? ”
