Chapter 892: Seventh-level civilization
As the earth entered the interstellar age, it was lucky to get rid of the miserable treatment of the slave star, and as Wang Dao thought, he was forced to join the human alliance and become an eighth-class civilization star that was slightly better than the ninth-rank slave star, and he had to pay expensive protection taxes every ten years, and it was paid in advance.
Hearing the news, Wang Dao showed an angry look, and knew that he couldn't turn his face with the Human Alliance, so he had to let Li Ruoying pay taxes.
There are also benefits, Wang Dao is canonized as the lord of the solar system, at least this title sounds imposing, and it allows trade with many civilizations within the Human Alliance, as long as there is money, anything can be bought.
Although the protection tax was paid, it was not protected, and the Human Alliance spacecraft collected the tax and left, only adding the earth to the star map of the Human Alliance, which means that this place is within the protection of the Human Alliance. Robber races such as reapers, but they don't dare to raid and harvest again, but sooner or later they will be targeted by interstellar pirates.
Those interstellar pirates are outlaws, and they don't have a planet of their own, ignoring the laws of the Human Alliance, and doing all kinds of evil.
When the royal road returned to Earth, he was in a very unhappy mood, and what was even more unhappy was that the Reaper fleet had flown to the system where the Spirit Beast Star was located, and the fleet over there could only evacuate and make the coordinate information of the Spirit Beast Star public within the Human Alliance, so that they could fight for it.
Losing the spirit beast star, Wang Dao was in a terrible mood, but fortunately, he lost the mulberry elm and obtained the butterfly star, although it is only the size of the moon, it is also suitable for human habitation. And there are no beasts of prey, they are all docile animals and beautiful butterfly people.
It has been sent to the fleet to colonize as an alien system base, because it is in a dense asteroid belt, those asteroids are rich in minerals, as long as they are hard to dig out. Mining sites and factories have been established on the Mineral Planet, which is relatively secretive and can slowly build a large fleet on its own.
Returning to the earth and entering the palace, Li Ruoying's face was not good, and she paid ten years of heavy taxes, because the Human Alliance used spirit stones as currency, there are not so many, it is best to use other precious minerals to compensate, the loss is huge, and the spaceship that collects taxes will come in ten years, it is disgusting to think about it.
And it's not just as simple as paying taxes, as a member of the Human Interstellar Alliance, there are other obligations to do, that is, to be conscripted. Since he had just joined, this was suspended, and after ten years, the conscription ships would come with the tax-collecting ships, and 200,000 troops would be recruited every ten years.
She silently handed a tablet to Wang Dao, which recorded the obligations and benefits that members of the Interstellar Alliance should fulfill, and the eighth-rank civilization star could enjoy very little treatment, and it was expensive.
"Damn!"
Wang Dao scolded the street while watching, all the benefits were made by the third-class civilization stars, and the remaining sixth-class civilizations were equivalent to uniting to support them, but it was because of the existence of those powerful civilizations that the human interstellar alliance could exist, and it was not enslaved or eliminated by other biological civilizations.
The advantage is that you can enter the internal database of the Human Alliance, pay to consult a lot of information that can be seen by the eighth civilization, and the interstellar network has been opened, covering the solar system, but the problem is that there is no digital currency of the Human Alliance, the spirit stone coin, and there are still a lot of ready-made spirit stones.
This point is easy to solve, there is a caravan in the human alliance star field, go to the alliance bank to open an account, deposit a lot of earned spirit stone coins, you can enter the network to spend.
Wang Dao landed on the internal network of the Human Alliance, which was an eye-opener, which is much more than the dark web of the earth at the beginning, and there are many online stores, selling a variety of things, as long as you are willing to spend money, you are also responsible for home delivery and direct delivery to the earth.
Soon Wang Dao saw a good thing, the interstellar teleportation array, as long as it is established, not only the goods can be directly transmitted through the interstellar teleportation array, but the personnel can also be teleported to the nearest civilization of the Human Alliance, and then they can transfer to other interstellar teleportation arrays, and they can come and go freely within the Human Alliance, and the premise is that it is human.
Fortunately, angels are also counted as a kind of human beings, and they are still called feather people, but the demons and demons are not, the falling angels are still formed, and other demon varieties are excluded from the scope of human beings, because there is a civilization in the universe that combines the two races of demons, which is very powerful and is the enemy of the human interstellar alliance. But it's not all killed, many demons are also working for humans, and there are also humans working for demons, depending on which camp you choose.
In addition to the demon race, mechanical life civilizations are also regarded as enemies, and the mechanical guardians are even more so, those nosy mechanical guardians have led to the demise of many civilizations, and have been defeated by many civilizations, and the human interstellar alliance will kill them as long as they find them.
The human interstellar alliance has a high bounty for the mechanical guardians, and Wang Dao immediately remembered that the corpses of the mechanical guardians who were killed were all stored, so he hurriedly sent them to a special place in exchange for bonuses, of course, he had to carry the mechanical guardian Dolan.
The Zerg is also the enemy of the Human Interstellar Alliance, and there are also rewards, but only the heads of the high-level Zerg are rewarded, at least above the fifteenth level, but unfortunately Li Ruochu's son-mother nest has reached the fifteenth level, and this time it was also ordered to self-destruct.
In fact, Wang Dao was also worried that the Zerg he cultivated would be controlled by the Zerg Mother Emperor at that time, and it would be a tragedy, so he took this opportunity to cut off his arm so as not to raise a tiger.
The price of the interstellar teleportation array is too expensive, and once it is established, not only can the earthlings quickly travel to other planets, but people from other planets can also come to the earth at any time, which is what he does not want to see.
I also looked at the fact that there is not only an interstellar teleportation array, but also a planetary teleportation array, which is to teleport between various planets within a small galaxy, as well as a shorter distance urban teleportation array, which are all good things.
When he saw that the technology of the city teleportation array could be purchased and built by himself, Wang Dao did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy it. He also wanted to build the planetary teleportation array, but unfortunately the eighth-rank civilization was not qualified to buy technology, so he could only spend a greater price to hire people to help build it, and the interstellar teleportation array was even more expensive, so expensive that the king's heart could not accept it, so he could only give up temporarily.
The biggest headache is the once every decade tax and conscription, whether it is people or money, it is gone forever, and if it is requisitioned, it will not belong to you. There is only one way to reduce the number, and that is to increase the civilization level.
If you want to improve the level of civilization, it is easy to say, that is, to contribute to the human interstellar alliance, and to exchange it for contribution, the simplest thing is to hand over money, slaves, minerals, and obtain war merits, taxes and conscription are also counted, but the contribution is low.
Handing over the corpse of the Mechanical Guardian can get a lot of contribution and money, but that is not enough to make the earth a seventh-class civilization, the king is reluctant to pay money or exchange the contribution of slaves, and the precious minerals are reluctant to think about it, and the only thing left is war exploits.
The war between the Human Star Alliance and the Demon Alliance has been protracted and has been fought for tens of thousands of years, and it is usually a skirmish in the border star field, and there are occasional big wars. The Zerg is also the focus of defense, but this race has stopped expanding rapidly, and it has been stable for tens of thousands of years, only infiltrating on a small scale, so it is only defense over there. Mechanical life has become a rare race in the long years, and now it is scattered in the universe so that there is no need to be overly guarded, and we will talk about it after discovering it.
In addition to being forcibly conscripted once every decade, you can also form your own troops to participate in the war or garrison, you can get contributions, and you can also have combat merits for killing enemies.
At the border of the Demon Star Domain, even if it is a small-scale military conflict on the border, there are often millions of casualties, and he doesn't want the troops he sent to become cannon fodder, so after thinking about it, he decided to send troops to help garrison the Zerg.
The number is a problem, if you want to exchange enough contribution to upgrade to a seventh-level civilization, at least send three million troops to garrison for twenty years, and the contribution can be predicted in advance, but three million troops is a lot.
He thought about it, he has many mining slaves, they definitely don't want to be mining slaves for a lifetime, and they can also hire some people to join the army at a high price, anyway, the Human Interstellar Alliance does not require personal cultivation, and there are only defensive posts over there, which are used to warn against a sudden attack by the Zerg.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Li Ruoying, "I plan to send three million troops to assist in garrisoning the Zerg Star Field, which will be used to exchange for contribution degrees to raise the civilization level to level seven." ”
"Three million troops, too much, right?" Li Ruoying exclaimed.
Wang Dao said with a smile, "Recruiting from the mine slaves, you can get free after returning from serving for twenty years, and you will always be able to recruit new soldiers from the earth and the forbidden realm of the gods at a high price, anyway, there is no limit to men and women, as long as you are strong and qualified." ”
Li Ruoying immediately smiled, "This is a way, you can also force prisoners to join the army, this is easy to make up, I'll arrange it." ”
