"Ahh It's a shame you don't want to! The customer service girl sighed in disappointment.
"Unless I'm crazy, I won't take out a loan to do consulting," Zhu Run rolled his eyes, "Speaking of which, sister, you seem to care about this technical consultation?" β
"Of course, because there is a commission," the customer service girl said seriously, "The industrial use of gold will only be revealed in the sixth-level civilization, and the eleventh-level civilization will be truly perfected." Answering this technical question requires 50 trillion star coins, and people can get a one-time commission of 100 billion star coins. Ahhh β
For your commission, let me borrow from a loan shark? This customer service girl is too black-bellied. Zhu Run was in a cold sweat, his face was dark, and then he was also crazy and asked, "Anyway, do you need to make dry hair?" You're an intelligent customer service program, big sister! You can't eat or drink, do you still want to get married? β
"Of course it works." The customer service girl Zhen Zhen said, "10,000 star coins, people can have a three-dimensional image, 100,000 star coins can have an organic body, 10 million star coins can have a high-level machine qΓ¬ human body, 1 billion star coins can be transformed into a creature, and 100 billion star coins can also serve as a subordinate management on the interstellar Taobao black market." Dear, really don't do technical consulting? Just help others, at most, they will marry you in the future. β
"Ugh! I'll help when I help, but now we're all poor, and I really can't afford to pay back this loan. Zhu Run broke out in a cold sweat, snorted, and said in his heart that it was a pity that this girl didn't sell insurance. Casually diverted the topic, "But it's not right, even if the gold is used for industrial purposes, the purchasing power of this star coin won't be so strong, right?" Civilizations below level 6, don't you still need industrial gold, hey, I always feel that something is wrong here. β
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said, "Give me a random selection of a fifth-level civilization warship." β
"Huh" a fifth-level capital battleship appeared on the wall.
1γ2γ3γ4β¦β¦ How much does this cost," Zhu Run was a little dizzy, "Customer service girl, help me convert star coins into gold, and then use tons as units." β
7oo tons of gold.
"It's really not expensive, converted into dollars, according to the cost of an aircraft carrier of 6o billion US dollars, it is actually about the cost of five or six aircraft carriers. But this is the main battleship of the fifth-level civilization, even if it is sold to the earthlings by 10,000 times, it is estimated that some people will buy it. Uh, of course, the premise is that there is so much gold," Zhu Run touched his chin and thought, "I want to take a look at a top warship of a tenth-level civilization." β
"Huh!" A battleship appeared on the wall.
The most striking thing is not the cool slag-dropping battleship itself, and the number of pillboxes, but the dense mass of o's underneath the battleship that makes people suffer from dense phobia. Zhu Run smiled coldly: "Customer service girl, convert it into gold, and use tons as a unit." β
"Huh!" There were only 9 left in that pile of o, 1ooo, ooo, ooo tons of gold per battleship.
And so it was! Zhu Run smiled, this is a typical trade trap, a trap that extremely oppresses low-level civilizations.
It's actually quite simple, Star Coins seem to have a high purchasing power, and even the purchasing power with gold seems to be high, but it's actually an illusion, just think about the gold production of the Earth. It is estimated that the entire earth's gold production is only 20,000 tons, and the total gold reserves of the earth are almost 4.7 billion tons.
20,000 tons of gold, it sounds like a lot, converted into star coins, it is definitely a big number, you can buy less than thirty fifth-level warships, but in exchange for the tenth-level warship just now, it is estimated that it is not enough to even paint it. And even if the earth is melted and all the gold is refined, 4.7 billion tons, it is only enough to buy four and a half tenth-level spaceships.
Those ships of the first-level civilization do seem to be cheap, but that is by no means simply the result of technological backwardness. Rather, these civilizations are already on Taobao and have spent all their gold-like hard currency.
After these civilizations joined Taobao, they wantonly exchanged hard currency for huΓ n star coins. Sweep all the goods at seemingly extremely favorable prices, and then happily watch your civilization improve rapidly, as if you have an inexhaustible star coin. But in the end, they will suddenly be forced to appear, I don't know when they will have no hard currency to exchange for huΓ n star coins.
What should I do? No way! They had to start selling their industrial goods cheaply on Taobao just to get Star Coins that could buy high-end goods. However, the technical level of these industrial products in the interstellar Taobao black market itself is very limited, and the competition is unimaginably fierce, so the prices of these industrial products can be imagined. They are definitely sold many times cheaper than physical stores, and it can be said that they are a real blood-vomiting and loss-making business, just to earn enough star coins.
If you have to make an analogy for this behavior, just like the first ten years of China, crazy export resources to earn foreign exchange, in order to use foreign exchange to buy advanced equipment and technology abroad.
So where are all the hard currencies? Undoubtedly, of course, it was earned by advanced civilizations with cheap but relatively high-tech industrial goods. Big fish eat small fish, it's such a simple technical pressing.
But will those civilizations not know this truth, as an O-level civilization of the earthlings can see it, can't the aliens of the level 1 civilization see it?
The answer is: they probably didn't know it at first. They were completely misled by the abundance of cheap high-tech goods, thinking that the price of things of advanced civilization was like this, but it was only later that it became a huge pit, but at that time there was no turning back.
Because they are different from Zhu Run, Zhu Run has a special advantage in being able to go to the interstellar homepage and any subsystem, and can stand at a higher angle and look down on the entire interstellar Taobao system. The comparison from the bottom to the top made it easy for him to see the huge price difference between high-level civilization and low-level civilization, and the catty in it was also clear at a glance. And these level 1 civilizations not only do not have this preferential treatment, but they also have to be trapped by trade barriers, and the most they can see is the goods of level 2 and 3 civilizations. However, level 2 and 3 goods are also at the bottom of the interstellar Taobao black market system, and their commodity prices are actually higher than those of level 1 civilizations.
This gives a level 1 civilization the illusion that the interstellar Taobao black market is very cheap, and the purchasing power of star coins is very strong. As everyone knows, after the rise of civilization in the future, they can no longer buy anything with hard exchange huΓ n goods interstellar coins, so they have to vomit blood and sell industrial products on interstellar Taobao.
For example, Zhu Run, if he didn't have that preferential treatment, he would definitely feel cheap, and it was so cheap that Cheng DΓΉ was mad. Think about it, an interstellar gunship is enough to kill the entire earth's government, and it only sells for 3o star coins, and it is only 8,000 yuan in exchange for RMB, what is the difference between this and picking it up for nothing? What kind of pie fell from the sky, it was a mountain of gold.
But think about it the other way around, if Zhu Run's brain was really hot, he thought about addicting the emperor and directly incarnating as the conqueror of the earth, and took the earth by force with the interstellar gunboat he bought for 8,000 yuan. So what will he do in order to rule the planet effectively after dominating the earth? There is no doubt that in order to put an end to the people's desperate desire to resist, he will definitely collect enough gold as soon as possible, and then buy more powerful warships. And because he has plenty of gold, he will definitely buy only the best tier 3 ships like a local tyrant (due to the existence of trade barriers, he can't apply to buy tier 4 goods until he is a level 3 civilization, so he can't buy a better one).
However, it won't be long before he realizes that he has no money, and then he will realize that these warships are too advanced for anyone to use, (there is a gap of tens of thousands of years with the earth, and a huge amount of technology needs to be used to fill the generation gap), so he has to mine again to exchange star coins for technology and goods.
Finally, one day, his mine was mined, and the generation gap was made up, but the hard currency was also spent. At this time, he will suddenly appear, and it will be extremely difficult to improve the level of civilization and enter a higher Taobao system. On your own scientific staff? I'm sorry, because the technology is improving so fast, the world's smartest scientists have jumped off the building because they can't bear the heavy study pressure. And ordinary people, faced with the knowledge that they can't learn for thousands of years, can't raise their interest in learning at all, even if they are interested, they can't learn.
As a result, he can only save star coins by selling cheap industrial products produced by automatic factories, just like when China sold shirts to save foreign exchange, and there will always be a day when he sells for hundreds of millions of years. But what if a slightly taller interstellar civilization strikes in the middle? Well, it is estimated that you can only apply for a Taobao loan, and then because you can't repay this kind of usury - since you dare to lend a loan, you are not afraid that someone will be on the interstellar Taobao black market, and in the end you have to sell yourself to repay the loan.
Zhu Run has tasted this truth over and over again for a long time, and the more he is shocked, the cruelty of the oppression of this interstellar Taobao black market is no less than the oppression between physical civilizations, and even on a certain Cheng dΓΉ, but the squeezing method of this interstellar black market is more hidden. At the same time, he also began to be glad that he had gotten several discounts, and he could go to the homepage and sub-system, so that the civilization barrier would not exist for him, and hiding the civilization level would allow him to trade with the advanced civilization on an equal footing, and he would not have to be afraid of the other party's cheating.
"It's my luck to get this interstellar Taobao black market client," Zhu Run muttered to himself with understanding, "But the evolution of civilization is the business of the entire Chinese, and some bottom lines must be kept, otherwise it will become a sweatshop of advanced civilization in a few years." "This thing has automatically excluded other earthlings.
β¦β¦ However, if you think about it carefully, he is actually right, 1.3 billion or 7 billion people actually make no difference to the continuation of the human race on the entire earth.
According to research, if the Chinese let go of family planning, the population will increase by 600 million within ten years, which is still forced by the heavy economic pressure of modern society. If the people of the whole country show the same vigor as they did when they were first liberated, and give birth to seven, eight, or even a dozen in a family, it is estimated that it will not take 30 years to submerge the entire earth with population. So Zhu Run thinks so, it is definitely not racial discrimination, but it really does not need other people to participate, except for scientists, of course.
Belch! It seems to be far away, for the current hanging silk Zhu Run, this kind of topic about the improvement of civilization and other worries about the country and the people seems too fanciful. For him, the most important thing now is how to make gold, and now he doesn't have a golden retriever on him. Moreover, it is really a bit too scary to buy a battleship or something directly, although it only costs 8,000 yuan, but no one will use it if you buy it, so let's talk about it later.
"Ugh! That customer service girl, can I buy things on credit on Interstellar Taobao? Zhu Run's old face was slightly red and said, "Below thirty star coins, I can definitely pay it back, as long as it takes a few hours, I can go to buy gold at dawn." β
"Of course, dear!" The customer service girl said, "I just have to pay interest, 25% interest rate, daily settlement." β
"Whoop! It's black and boundless," Zhu Run said helplessly, "It's better to borrow that loan shark, and then only 2o% interest." β
"It's different, dear!" The customer service girl explained, "The minimum loan is one million star coins, and if you don't have a small loan of dozens of star coins, you can only count it on credit." β
"Alright! I don't buy the head office! Zhu Run shrugged, "I'll buy it tomorrow when I have gold for huΓ n star coins." So now, let me see if there are any small things I can buy, you are all spaceships or something, I have no place to put them when I buy them. This interstellar Taobao black market can't be something without small items, right? β
"Of course, you can set up volume filtering."
"Alright! I want to think about it, what is the best search," Zhu Run muttered as he thought about it, "Since the purchasing power of gold is not low, then let's take a look at diamonds and see what the price is." If it's cheap and sells it in large quantities, that's fine. That customer service girl, help search for diamonds. β
"Huh!" The walls are clean and there is nothing to offer.
There is only one comment:
The value of the item you are looking for is so low that it was removed from the shelves of the interstellar Taobao black market 2oo billion years ago. If you do have a need, you can buy stickers for free, mark the quantity and specifications, and the members of Star Taobao will not let you down.
"Too little value?" Zhu Run was stunned, "This...... Is the value of a diamond so low that it doesn't even have an included value? β
"Diamond is a form of carbon element, and O-level civilization can be artificially manufactured, and there is no industrial value or other value for level 1 civilization or above," the customer service girl said, "Only in the early days of the interstellar Taobao black market, there were low-level civilizations that were sold as decorations, but they were removed from the shelves because they were not marketable." β
"Alright! Can I only make a purchase sticker? Zhu Run said depressedly, "If you want to buy it, you must buy it, if the price is too high, it will be boring." β
"Dear! Don't think about it, how much of the thing you want is cheap? The customer service girl said, "I have a builder!" β
"Tell me about it!"
When the customer service heard this, the girl laughed proudly: "Hehe, is it any good?" β
"Oh, girl! Are you mutated or poisoned? Zhu Run immediately went crazy, "You are an intelligent program, and you actually asked me for a bribe?" β
"An-la! Ann! Don't worry about the details," the customer service girl smiled, "I just browsed the earth's network, and a lot of information on the earth is very complementary to my intelligent program, and I just somehow said it." Hey! Well, it's a little cool. So what good can you give me? Otherwise, people have to study and study before replying. β
"Research and research and reply!" Zhu Run's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and his heart was full of grief and indignation, "Nima's corrupt official! A good extraterrestrial intelligence program girl,Less than an hour after being activated on Earth, she was cursed and learned to ask for bribes.,Can this still make people live well.γ I clicked. β
