In the dark starry sky, a rather old-looking, old-fashioned fleet of starships was slowly sailing.

Located in the flagship command center, Fleet Commander Mel, with a look of surprise and greed on his face, stared at a turquoise, vibrant planet.

"It's a great place, with the right temperature, plenty of water, and lush greenery like a garden."

"It seems to be a little less, but it doesn't matter, it can be obtained from nearby asteroids, and it also has a good quality moon that can just be used as a base."

Captain Mel kept muttering, praising the planet called Earth, it seemed that he liked everything on Earth very much, mountains, rivers, trees, but he didn't mention the humans who lived here, as if in his eyes, the earthlings who had lived here for generations, they were not important, and they were not worth mentioning at all.

"In this world, high-quality resources are always scarce, and a habitable planet with A-level quality is like a peerless beauty, any man with normal physiological functions will want her."

"How far are we from this place called Earth?" Mel asked Kent, the deputy next to him.

"It takes about nine months to sail."

After carefully calculating the optimal route for sailing, Kent replied in the affirmative that he had graduated from the Imperial Expeditionary Academy with impressive academic results.

"It's too slow." Mel waved his hand dissatisfiedly, "The main fleet can't arrive for a while, so let the reconnaissance team scattered around go to Earth first and plant the imperial flag." ”

Kent listened to the captain's words, and frowned deeply, his face worried.

Mel's fleet is actually very much like the Black Sword, both of which represent their respective strengths, searching and expanding abroad.

Some searches are with a purpose, such as the black sword to go to the Shimmer Star County, looking for the quantum civilization or their legacy, as the most brilliant existence in the stars, if the energy civilization where the black sword is located, can get some of the scientific and technological essence of the quantum civilization, it will undoubtedly greatly improve its own strength.

In the case of the decline of all civilizations, if the energy civilization takes the lead in revival, it is possible to become the next star overlord similar to the mechanical civilization, of course, the energy civilization will never be as stupid as the mechanical civilization, and it is crazy to single-handedly want to single out the whole world.

In short, after the decay and decline of civilization, all the remaining civilizations, countries, forces, pirates, and free man bases are trying to expand.

"The closest to Earth is the Worker Ant patrol ship led by Captain Niedro, and if he is ordered to turn now, the Worker Ant can reach Earth in three months." Kent hesitated.

"Why this expression? Is there something wrong? Mel looked at Kent puzzled.

Kent pondered for a moment and said, "The Worker Ant only has one patrol ship and one hundred and twenty-eight crew members, and Niedro has a very aggressive personality, and his reputation in the fleet is not very good, so..."

Hahahaha~

Mel laughed out loud when he heard Kent's words.

"According to the information we have, the earth civilization is still in a very low stage, the earthlings are like a swarm of ants, it is impossible to cause us any harm at all, I am a little worried about this guy Nidro, after occupying the earth, he will not wantonly slaughter and kill a large number of earthlings..."

"After all, in today's absence of robots, labor is a very valuable existence, and the value of billions of slaves is also very amazing."

……

"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves..."

After Luo Jia got up, as soon as he opened the bedroom window, he heard the national anthem played by the flag-raising of Binjiang Primary School not far away.

It's also strange to say, as he gets older, Luo Jia's feelings about the national anthem have always changed, there was a while, when he was still young, when the national flag was raised, he would refuse to sing the national anthem loudly to show his rebellion, and then he grew up, the more he understood the truth, this song was also in his heart, and it slowly became thicker, so that he often had the urge to burst into tears.

Breakfast is dumplings again, soaked in hot water and heated, accompanied by milk and a few refreshing side dishes, the world's richest man's food, clothing, housing and transportation seem to be no different from ordinary people.

Every weekend when he went home, his mother would always take out two packs of dumplings and let Luo Jia take them back to the meditation center, so he often used dumplings for his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper, which seemed a little monotonous, but because it was made by his mother, Luo Jia couldn't bear to waste it anyway, so he had to do it.

Log in to the secret network according to the usual practice, check if your two little brothers have posted for help, if so, agree on the time of the next meeting, and start today's work and study without change.

It seems that everything is going well, Black Sword is still searching in Shimmer Star County, it is estimated that it will take a long time to complete this task, even if he can't find the quantum civilization, he will have to re-explore the star map, interstellar travel is always like this, long journeys of months or even years have long been commonplace.

Blue Feather has returned from the Waterform Civilization, and the restored frigate Bafang Feiyu has greatly boosted Blue Feather's confidence, and he continues to live alone in the territory, and plans his next trip to visit the nearby planet of the Free People.

I heard that although there is no order, there is also another kind of chaotic beauty, and for the traditionally orderly plant civilization, adjectives such as chaos, restlessness, and barbarism have always aroused great curiosity.

There is no new message, everything is as usual, after Luo Jia returned from the secret net, he went to the front yard to attend the regular meeting of the Authority, and after the regular meeting, he began to study and think today, read books related to finance for a while, and took out the whiteboard, and wrote two big Chinese characters with an ink pen on it, dollars.

As we all know, among the five major hegemons in the world, there is a financial hegemony, and the financial hegemony can be subdivided into many small hegemony, such as banking hegemony, insurance hegemony, gold hegemony, stock hegemony, etc., the most important of which is undoubtedly the hegemony of the dollar.

According to the data provided on the official website of the Federal Reserve, the $1 banknote has the lowest production cost at 5.5 cents, the $100 banknote has the highest production cost at 14.3 cents, and the rest of the denominations have the lowest cost of production.

Not to mention that with the development of science and technology, the vast majority of dollars in the world no longer need to be printed and have become electronic currency, and the Federal Reserve only needs to fill in a number in the computer.

In fact, the fact that the Fed randomly fills in a number on the computer is not terrible in itself, but what is terrible is that seven billion people in the world have voluntarily paid for the hegemony of the dollar.

Money and money are not the same, Zimbabwe once issued a currency with a denomination of 100 trillion yuan, but it became the laughing stock of the world, and if the dollar is issued by an extra 10 trillion, the world's economy will be destroyed in an instant.

For a few days, although Luo Jia was called a holiday, in fact, he studied until late at night every day, according to his upright personality of a science and engineering man, he never felt that finance was more important than three titanium alloys, but the financial problem was so complicated that it could not be solved if it was not solved.

Mercantilism, liberalism, classicism, Keynesianism, countless schools of economics and financialism, putting forward countless opinions and opinions, is really a very devastating thing.

And most people don't know the fact that finance and economics are actually not the same.

Economics is a kind of social science, and the amount of tax rate, how to allocate resources, which commodities need to be controlled, and which can be liberalized all belong to the scope of economic research.

Finance is a business discipline that focuses on analyzing and researching financial markets, how to price financial products, developing new financial products in order to arbitrage profits, and so on.

After a period of research, Luo Jia came up with a ridiculous and bold idea that what he was facing might not be the problem of fighting for financial hegemony, but the question of whether finance was needed in this world.
