Chapter 267: Transaction (Two Chapters in One)
Unlike previous auctions, the number of bidders on Living Planet was much lower.
After all, not every living planet can fit in with its own civilization race, only a living planet with a similar environment to the home planet of civilization is the most suitable, and the others are at most colonies and cannot be used as real living planets.
It is extremely difficult to find a living planet similar to the home planet of civilization, even in this vast universe with countless stars, the number of living planets is extremely rare, at least compared to the number of total stars, the number of living planets is not even a fraction.
It can be said that not every star system has a life planet, if the tone is good, there may be one in two or three galaxies, and if you are unlucky, you may not be able to meet a life planet if you walk on twenty or thirty star systems. Like the solar system, the birth of three living planets in a star system is basically a very rare and special existence.
It's a pity that at that time, the earth civilization did not have the ability to haul the planet for long-distance navigation, and the solar crisis broke out too suddenly, which directly led to the fact that the earth civilization did not have time to carry many materials, so it left the solar system in a hurry, and until now it came to the Andromeda galaxy, and I don't know that the year of the monkey can go back. Even if you can go back, it is estimated that the two living planets in the solar system will have become two death stars by then.
Of course, the star of the three-body civilization is a kind of life planet, but unfortunately it is only suitable for the survival of alien races, although it is not purgatory for other races, but it is difficult to survive without adding a layer of isolation, except for being used as a resource star. Even the colonies are hard to rank up.
The more than 20 life planets auctioned in this medium-sized auction held by the Rheinsain auction house today were also collected from countless civilizations in the previous thousand cosmic hours. Thereinto. There are fourteen low-life planets and six medium-life planets, and the life planet that Meng Ke has his eye on is one of the six medium-life planets.
As for the method of judging the level of life planets, it is inferred according to the degree of reproduction of life on them: life has just originated as a low-level life planet, single-celled organisms or multicellular organisms have appeared as medium-life planets, and various life forms on the planet have multiplied to a certain extent. It is a planet with a population and a stable crust and a well-developed ecosystem.
The rules of the universe reward high-level life planets, and they are ultra-high-level life planets that can be directly inhabited by humans without any modification, which is one level higher than the life planets auctioned by the Rheinsain auction house.
But in terms of volume. The planet that is suitable for human habitation will be auctioned by Rheinsain Auction House is about the same size as the new earth, and the ratio of land to sea is seven to three, which means that it has a larger land habitation area, and only a small number of humans will live in marine buildings.
This has to be said to be good news. Although humans nowadays don't need the sun to survive. But no one wants to live in a cold and dark ocean bed if they can live in a bright place
The auction for the Living Planet began, and the first low-level Living Planet was priced at three million Star Coins, which really surprised many bidders. But it is also relieved to think of the importance of the living planet, in the hands of the unneeded civilized race, the living planet is an ordinary planet that is not even a resource planet, and in the hands of the civilized race that needs it, it is something more important than force.
It's a pity. There was only one civilized race participating in the auction on this living planet, so in the end, the transaction price of this living planet was 3.1 million star coins. It was the lowest number of bidders in the auction.
The second life planet also has a starting price of 3 million star coins, which is much better than the first life planet, and the final transaction price is 3.4 million star coins.
The third Life Planet was sold for 3.2 million Star Dollars, the fourth Life Planet was sold for 3.9 million Star Dollars, and the fifth Life Planet was sold for ...... It wasn't until the fourteenth life planet was auctioned off by a civilized race at a high price of 4.2 million yuan, that all the fourteen low-level life planets participating in the auction were auctioned off.
Next, there are six medium-life planets.
When the first medium-life planet appeared, the bidding was obviously much more fierce than the previous fourteen rounds, with a starting price of 5 million Star Coins and a final transaction price of 6.8 million Star Coins.
Then came the second, third...... By the time the projection of the fifth life planet was put on the auction table, Meng Ke had already sat up straight and pressed his palm on the bidder.
The fifth medium-life planet, a living planet suitable for human habitation, has a starting price of ...... 5,300,000 Star Coins.
“…… Now, the auction begins! ”
When the old man's voice on the auction table fell, the bidding numbers on the right side of the floating screen jumped suddenly, from 5.3 million to 5.4 million.
Meng Ke's eyes flashed, and he quickly entered 100,000 star coins on the bidder, and the bidding price became 5.5 million.
It's a pity that this price didn't last long, it just became five million and six hundred thousand in an instant, Meng Ke immediately added star coins, and in another instant, Meng Ke's additional star coins were covered up by a new addition.
After that, 5.9 million, 6 million, 6.1 million, 6.2 million...... It wasn't until the price exceeded seven million that Meng Ke frowned and lowered his palm.
This price is already the highest price of all living planets that have been auctioned off now. But after he stopped, the numbers on the screen changed, 7.1 million star coins!
It seems that there is a civilized race that is on the same page with Meng Ke, both of them are bound to win this living planet, even if they bid until the high price of seven million star coins, that one bidder did not stop.
"I don't think you dare to follow." Meng Ke's eyes narrowed, and he directly entered a string of numbers on the bidder.
With a swipe, the price on the auction box has directly changed from 7.1 million star coins to 8.1 million star coins, a full 1 million star coins increase, I don't know what the expressions of the bidders present who see this scene will be.
Even in this auction, there are many people who want to get a certain product as soon as possible. And directly add an extremely high price to directly scare the opponent away, but the one-time addition of one million Star Coins really hasn't happened.
Almost at the same time that Meng Ke added an additional one million star coins. In the light curtain room on a floating platform at the Rheinsain auction house, a bidder shook his palm and looked at the price on the floating screen with an ugly face.
It was a humanoid man with fine snake scales on his forehead, and his cobra-like eyes were revealing a chill at the moment.
"Eight million and one hundred thousand...... " he muttered, but after hesitating for a moment, he added one hundred thousand, eight million and two hundred thousand to the bidder.
"Plus?" I saw the bidding price pause for a few seconds. Meng Ke just asked one of his opponents to give up, but before he could relax, the bidding price on the auction screen increased by another 100,000.
"I'll see how long you can follow." Meng Ke did not hesitate to add another million star coins to the auction.
On strength. Maybe he isn't very powerful, but if it comes to wealth, I'm afraid that even if you add up the entire Star Thief Alliance, you're not as rich as him. Not to mention the maps of those prehistoric ruins. Just that bunch of tech trees in the civilization system. If it is exchanged for the equivalent currency, it is not a problem to buy the entire Star Thief Alliance, right...... It should be a piece of cake, even if there are another 10,000 Star Thieves Alliance, he can buy them all.
Therefore, Meng Ke didn't feel distressed at all when he raised the price, anyway, it was a bunch of useless things. Why not exchange a bunch of waste that is of no use to the earth's civilization for something that will strengthen the earth's civilization?
"Nine million and two million ......" was in another room when Meng Ke pressed the addition of one million. The humanoid man who had previously participated in the auction of the Living Planet hesitated for a moment, and was about to continue to increase the price. A palm grabbed his arm.
"For the sake of a living planet, it's not worth paying so much value, don't forget our goal this time." Along with the palm of her hand, she was a humanoid woman.
This woman is not good-looking, with dense black spots on her face, a pair of eyes that are red and green on one side, and with the rough snake scales like old bark on her forehead, she can shoot horror movies directly without dressing up.
The humanoid man glanced at her, nodded, and said, "That's right." However, there are only a few civilized races that need this kind of living planet, and it is not difficult to find them. ”
"You'd better not cause trouble." The humanoid woman reminded.
"Hehe, how could it be." The humanoid man laughed and closed his eyes.
The humanoid woman gave him a cold look and sat back in her chair.
Auction, end
"Congratulations on winning a Living Planet, the relevant fees have been deducted. If you need a shipping business, Rheinsain Auction House also has a professional transport team at your service. ”
In room 20150917, the news of a successful bid once again came from the floating screen in the center of the room. It seems that the Rheinsain auction house also took into account the size of the living planet and added an advertising pitch at the end.
Meng Ke thought for a moment and said to the floating screen: "Please tell me about the quotation of the transportation team." ”
He knew that voice could be heard.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the voice in the floating screen said again: "The price of the transportation team varies from high to low according to the level of the transportation team, and the transportation team is currently divided into four levels, corresponding to the four civilization races of the four levels: the early, middle, late and peak of the four levels, which level of the transportation team do you want to choose?" ”
Meng Ke touched his chin and asked, "What is the price of the fourth-level peak civilization transportation team?" Is it okay for me to pay with Tech Tree? ”
"Yes. The transportation team of the fourth-level peak civilization is charged according to the distance, within a thousand light years, and a technology tree above the mid-level fourth-level civilization must be a civilized race that studies mathematics. ”
"Nothing else?"
"Nope."
"And what about more than a thousand light-years?"
"More than a thousand light-years, requiring the use of a Level 5 transportation team."
"The price won't be a level 5 civilization tech tree, right?"
"That's right."
“……”
Meng Ke was silent for a moment and asked, "The distance of 10,000 light years, through three wormholes in the middle, the spacing of each wormhole is ......"
After saying a lot of information in a row, Meng Ke asked, "How many fifth-level civilization technology trees do you need?" ”
"You can choose to join the Star Pirate Alliance, and the Senators will help your race migrate here, as well as help you find other planets of life." The voice paused obviously, did not answer Meng Ke's question, but directly threw out an olive branch.
Meng Ke smiled slightly and said, "I don't have that plan for the time being, let's talk about the price." ”
"Wait a minute." As he spoke, the voice fell silent.
Meng Ke didn't care, and continued to turn his gaze to the floating screen to watch the auction items below.
Next, Meng Ke did not make another move, just like the previous time.
After watching more than a dozen rounds of auctions in a row, the voice that had disappeared before reappeared: "Hello sir, are you sure you want to use the transportation team of the fifth-level civilization?" ”
"Well, the price has been calculated?" Meng Ke nodded and asked.
"Yes, according to what you said, the price is a complete Early-Stage 5 Civilization-based tech tree." The voice said.
Meng Ke's eyes flashed, this price was really beyond his expectations, it was too expensive.
If it's an ordinary level 5 civilization technology tree, it's easy to say, but a complete technology tree that contains all the civilization levels of the first to early level 5 civilizations is really rare, and if it is replaced by someone else, it will definitely not be able to pay for it.
Fortunately, Meng Ke has a civilization system, and all the science and technology trees left by the big tyrant Zhi Brain to Meng Ke are complete, and a technology tree in the early stage of a fifth-level civilization is nothing.
So after Meng Ke paused, he nodded and said, "Yes, how to trade?" ”
"Cash on delivery, you can't leave the Star Thieves Alliance during this time."
"Okay, let's ship it now."
"No problem." The voice spoke, and fell silent, and waited for a long time without speaking.
At this time, Lu Yue came up and asked, "Xianggong, will this expose the location of the earth's civilization?" ”
"It's okay, it won't." Meng Ke comforted Lu Yue, and continued to turn his head to look at the auction.
After dozens of rounds of auctions, the third thing that Meng Ke paid attention to finally appeared - the environmental transformation instrument.
This is the embodiment of the pinnacle of extreme technology, which has the ability to transform any dead planet into a pseudo-life planet, and can make a living planet more habitable, eliminating hidden dangers such as the instability of the planet's crust.
Although the environmental modifier auctioned in the Rheinsain auction does not have a real environmental modifier, the technology contained in it is enough to turn a satellite into a pseudo-life planet.
If it had it, Meng Ke had reason to believe that in just a few years, the newly purchased living planet would become completely habitable for human beings, with only a small change. (To be continued......)
