The mystery of the collapse of the trade volume of the City of a Thousand Stars cannot be explained by the commercial competition of other free trade stars.

In the interstellar era, most of the trade exchanges were straight line to straight line, going around in a big circle, and specially going to other trade stars, the time wasted was not a day or two, but more than ten years or decades - for low-speed spaceships.

And civilization is developing, the population will swell, the demand will also increase, the economy will only become more and more prosperous, the city of a thousand stars is such an important trade transit place, but the trade volume has fallen, which is really incomprehensible and abnormal.

So in the years that followed, Yun Xinghe and the others, while nervously building a new spaceship, were investigating the core cause of this problem.

Coupled with the fact that Zhinao Xiaokong has broken through more government databases, as well as the analysis and screening of countless clues, Yun Xinghe and them are gradually approaching, a creepy truth.

A thousand years ago, this truth, when it was discovered and revealed by a curious Babi people, immediately caused an uproar, causing countless interstellar merchants to flee, never wanting to stay for another moment, and never to come back.

Even if a thousand years have passed, even if the surrounding Jialai, Babi, Green Fairy, and Alcolon civilizations try their best to block these news, arrest the rumor-mongering "Babi people", and sentence him to death, they still can't save their reputation.

What is the news that has seriously affected the trade and reputation of the City of a Thousand Planets?

This is related to the city of a thousand planets, which claims to have more than 1,000 intelligent creatures here.

However, in the fifth paragraph, there are only more than 300 civilizations, and there are only more than 700 intelligent species registered in the "Civilization Convention".

In what way did the City of a Thousand Stars collect so many intelligent species?

And the City of a Thousand Stars is located in a remote area, surrounded by a majority of second- and third-level civilizations, and the interstellar merchant who founded the City of a Thousand Stars is also from the third-level Babi civilization, how can he have such a vast ability to collect thousands of intelligent species that are not available in the entire fifth stage?

You must know that the span of the fifth stage is more than 10,000 light years, and a businessman from a third-level civilization needs at least 100,000 years to run through the fifth stage.

And what about other civilizations passing by?

Yes, there will definitely be, but definitely not much.

After all, it's too backward and remote.

In the end, the City of a Thousand Planets, with so many intelligent creatures, has only one explanation left.

Artificial.

Or clone.

Most of the intelligent creatures are man-made, and some of them may be cloned in the culture tank after extracting the genes of other intelligent creatures.

The so-called "City of a Thousand Stars" is a false, disgusting, and lying place that tramples on the bottom line of countless civilizations.

After deducting the false ingredients, there can be 100 types of real intelligent creatures, which is not bad.

But the creators of this city have succeeded in creating an atmosphere where there are 1,000 intelligent races, which has brought a lot of economic benefits.

Moreover, it also attracted some idiots who took the initiative to take the bait.

For example, those interstellar travelers in distant civilizations who heard about the legend of the City of a Thousand Planets and took the initiative to send them to death.

These travelers, who spent hundreds of years here, came here, and finally disappeared into the starry sky somewhere.

Soon after, another intelligent race was added to the City of a Thousand Stars.

And obtained some of the technology created by the intelligent race, which improved the technical reserves of the City of a Thousand Stars.

"Isn't this a trap? No wonder no one dares to come, this place is so terrifying. Yun Qiaoqiao's face turned pale, covering her mouth, feeling a burst of range.

"It is impossible for an interstellar businessman to have such a bold courage to do such a horrific thing, and after the truth is exposed, no one will punish this businessman, but will do everything possible to let the surrounding four countries cooperate to cover this matter, and behind this interstellar businessman, there must be a force standing behind it. Sugaru analyzed.

"Babi civilization, this civilization is said to have reached the edge of breaking through the fourth-level civilization, the speed of scientific and technological development, is the fastest among the four civilizations, but the Babi people are not very smart, their biggest characteristic is that other civilizations describe, proficient in strategy, cunning and treacherous, do everything, and even caused four third-level civilizations, to the extent of launching a full-scale war against it, although the Babi civilization lost dozens of leading stars, but in the end it still relied on shrewd strategy to escape this catastrophe. ”

Lan Xiulong said.

"It should be the Babi civilization, which is behind all this. Luo Xin nodded.

"Captain, just now the city lord brought more than a dozen businessmen into a secret conference room, and the director of the Bassa Shipyard is also among these people, and they are discussing the conspiracy against us again!" Du Xiaopang, who was sitting in front of the surveillance screen, shouted.

"The new ship will be built in a few months, and the peaches are almost ripe, hmph, it's no wonder they're not in a hurry. ”

Yun Xinghe said coldly, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

City Hall.

Mysterious conference room.

A very hurried, extremely excited, trembling voice said:

"Their spaceship, how advanced it is makes me shocked and inferior. ”

"This spacecraft, even the hull, more than 90% of it, is made of a material that they say comes from the inside of the star, and the hardness, smoothness and compactness of this material cannot be found in the whole universe, which can be compared. ”

"It has been calculated that it is even so hard that it can crash through a planet with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers at 0.6 times the speed of light, and the spacecraft will be unscathed. ”

"None of the four levels of civilization can produce this material. ”

"Also, the equipment installed inside the spaceship, the level of sophistication, also made me feel frustrated and hopeless. ”

"Because that's the technology generation gap that can't catch up. ”

"Many of their equipment, you can't see any messy wiring inside, and you can only see tens of millions of precision parts under a microscope at a million times. ”

"There is a very ordinary conductive plate, less than the size of a palm, under the microscope, we saw 5 billion parts, our engineers said this is impossible, but in the actual test, the current conduction capacity of this conductive plate is 3,000 times that of our best conductive plate. ”

"Recently they are debugging a new material reactor and an ion engine, I don't know how advanced these two equipment are, but what is certain is that once they work, whether it is power or thermal efficiency, there is no spacecraft in the city of a thousand planets that can compare to it. ”

"In short, their industrial manufacturing capacity has reached the realm of gods. ”

"I even advise against provoking them, because if the civilization behind them finds out about this, we may be wiped out...... Even if that's hundreds of years from now. ”

"Because I simply don't have the confidence that in a few hundred years, in industry, we will be like them. ”

At the end, Yamabaru had a serious expression, a heavy voice, and a slight tremor in his body.

"What if we do?"

The president of the Unicorn Chamber of Commerce, a creature with horns on his head, stood up with blazing eyes and said, "Hundreds of years is a long time, why is it impossible for our wisdom to do it?"

He got up and took two steps: "Even if we can't do it, a few hundred years will be enough for us to prepare for the response and repel that civilization." ”

"This one, we have to do it, it's been more than 500 years! We haven't found anything in the last 500 years, and this time, we're going to eat our bellies!"

The president of the Unicorn Chamber of Commerce waved his fist and said.

"I also agree with Notten's point of view, this civilized visitor, for the City of a Thousand Stars, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once missed, we will sink forever!"

"We are all interstellar traders, and we all understand one thing: with great risk comes great opportunity. ”

"The visitors of this civilization also said that they came from another spiral arm, and that spiral arm was far away from us, even if their civilization's spaceship was close to the speed of light, it would take five or six hundred years to get here. ”

"What else is there to hesitate about? Five or six hundred years is enough for us to turn the City of a Thousand Stars into a country of a Thousand Stars. ”

"Get ready to work, perhaps, this is the last time we will do this kind of work, and from now on, no one can despise, underestimate, or slander us!"

"We are the new kings!"

Dong Kron, the lord of Star City, slapped the table hard, his face was blue with excitement (the skin and blood of the Babi people were blue).

"Yes, the new king!"

"We've had enough of being a merchant, we're going to be masters now!"

"Let's do it, take all our riches!"

The conference room was full of echo and carnival.

At this scene, Yamabaru shook his head slightly.

Will things go well?

Why do I feel that my eyelids are always beating and my heart is restless?

But seeing that everyone was completely unanimous, he had to ask in a deep voice: "Krone City Lord, when will we start?"

"The day the ship was built, of course...... We don't have the technology to build such a spaceship yet. ”

Dong Krang said with a smile, he planned to use that spaceship as his city lord's special ship—no, the emperor's special ship.
