Chapter 874: Tough Counterattack

For most interstellar civilizations, their deadliest shortcoming is faster-than-light spacecraft.

The faster-than-light spaceship is the most indispensable equipment for long-distance interstellar travel, which can surpass the limit of the speed of light, making the long-distance journey extremely short and consuming the least time, so with the faster-than-light spaceship, it can make all interstellar civilizations have certain strength in interstellar communication and interstellar warfare.

This special effect is completely incomparable to that of ordinary sub-light ships.

It is true that sub-light spaceships can also carry out interstellar voyages, and they can also consume time to cross the barrier of star systems, but the speed of sub-light spaceships is too slow, the flexibility is extremely low, and the role of super-light spaceships in interstellar communication is completely incomparable with super-light spaceships, and in interstellar civilization wars, sub-light spaceships are even more useless targets, and they are not even qualified to undertake logistics and transportation tasks, and they are caught by a super-light spaceship, and the destruction of tens of thousands of sub-light spaceships is also a simple thing.

Therefore, the faster-than-light spaceship is the standard configuration of interstellar civilizations, and sub-light spaceships are just toys for some interstellar civilizations to entertain themselves, in this era of interstellar civilization, powerful interstellar civilizations will be equipped with as many faster-than-light spaceships as possible, and only some sub-light spaceships will be used on some low-end, short-distance sailing routes.

And even those weak interstellar civilizations will squeeze out as many resources as possible to equip themselves with more faster-than-light ships.

Sub-light spaceships are just procurement items that may be considered after these weak interstellar civilizations do not have enough resources to purchase faster-than-light spaceships.

Moreover, compared with the shortage of resources and monopoly operation of faster-than-light spaceships, sub-light spaceship technology is relatively much more low-end, and there are countless civilizations with such technology.

The products produced by the sub-light spaceship factories of these civilizations not only supply the needs of these civilizations themselves, but are often sold in the interstellar market to compete for orders for sub-lightspeed spaceships of those weak interstellar civilizations.

Therefore, in the vast sea of stars, the faster-than-light spaceship industry is the top white rich and beautiful, an out-and-out blue ocean, but whoever has the strength to get a piece of the pie in this industry, there is no one who is not making a lot of money.

The sub-light spaceship industry is the opposite, a completely low-end industry, an out-and-out Red Sea, extremely fierce competition, and low profits can only make a little money.

So don't look at the same spaceship, the industry status of superluminal spaceships and sub-light spaceships is completely incomparable, one is a cloud fairy, everyone is eager and everyone yearns for it, and the absolute high-end atmosphere is high-grade. The other is simply in the mud, which is not fundamentally different from the vendors who eat mixed rice in the vegetable market.

None of the interstellar civilizations do not need faster-than-light spaceships, even cosmic-level civilizations are equipped with a large number of low-end civilian faster-than-light spaceships, and many interstellar civilizations have completely said no to sub-light spaceships, and have even completely eliminated the use of sub-light spaceships.

The faster-than-light spacecraft is so easy to use and so important that it can be said to be a real necessity for interstellar civilizations and the lifeblood of civilization, but for such an important thing, for the vast majority of interstellar civilizations, they are not productive.

Some powerful interstellar civilizations can independently produce some small parts and small equipment on faster-than-light spaceships, which are already completely different from those weak chickens at the bottom, and they are often able to live very well, earn a lot of profits, and then have strong strength.

Civilizations with some fragmentary faster-than-light spaceship-related technologies and some low-end parts production capacity are not uncommon in the vast sea of stars. However, a civilization that has the ability to have systematic spaceship technology and can independently produce a complete and brand-new faster-than-light spaceship is also extremely rare in the vast sea of stars, and at the level of interstellar civilization, every such civilization is an out-and-out overlord, transcending the existence of things.

It is precisely for this reason that these civilizations with the production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships often have the ability to influence the vast star field and dominate the fate of many interstellar civilizations.

Even if it does not have the production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships, but can have a greater initiative and influence in the faster-than-light spacecraft sales network, it is a life-and-death role for many star fields.

And in the eyes of outsiders, the Meteorite Star Sea Galaxy is also the kind of weak person whose fate is controlled by others!

Although it is a large galaxy, the theoretical development space is immeasurable, and there was even a cosmic-level civilization sitting in the town, but this is already a thing of the past.

The real situation of the meteorite star sea now is that most of the star fields here are still unexplored wilderness, and there is only a mature habitable civilization belt in a small corner, although in terms of volume, the number of civilizations here is not a lot, and powerful civilizations are not uncommon, but the interstellar civilization here also has a fatal flaw, that is, there is no super interstellar civilization here, and there is no perfect spaceship production technology here.

Therefore, once the spaceship trade of the meteorite star sea is cut off, then even the most powerful interstellar civilization here will be like a fish that wants to get out of the water source, and it won't be long before it can jump.

Of course, for the sake of their own interests, those interstellar civilizations that are more powerful and influential after the ancient Laren civilization are not prepared to carry out the most thorough sanctions and completely cut off the supply of spaceships to the meteorite star sea.

They have more sinister and more ruthless sanctions.

For the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, these civilizations have completely cut off the supply of spaceships to it, and will never send even a single faster-than-light spaceship to it.

Not to mention the complete spaceship, even some high-end parts and components are prohibited from being supplied to the Meteorite Star Sea Civilization Alliance.

And those interstellar civilizations outside the alliance, these masterminds behind the scenes have different sanctions, and for these ordinary interstellar civilizations, their unified sanctions are to increase the price of the spaceship by ten times, and the price of parts and components to increase by thirty times!

Once such sanctions are implemented, it is conceivable that the order of the entire Meteorite Star Sea will be completely chaotic, and the powerful influence and comprehensive strength of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance will only continue to shrink with the passage of time.

Although the alliance can also purchase faster-than-light spaceships from other meteorite star sea civilizations through indirect channels, in this case, the meteorite star sea alliance will obviously have to pay a huge purchase cost than ordinary interstellar civilizations.

After all, if you want to make those ordinary interstellar civilizations ignore the threats and pressures of spaceship sellers and privately transfer spaceships to the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, it is impossible not to pay some necessary costs, and the extra money is obviously the least price.

Even in order to convince those ordinary interstellar civilizations, the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance may have to owe a certain amount of favors and commitments, which is undoubtedly an extremely serious weakening of the dominance of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance.

If you want to be the boss, you must not only be the most capable, the most powerful and richest, but you must also be the most face-saving and unbelievable.

If in order to buy a faster-than-light spaceship, the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance owes favors everywhere, and it is low everywhere, then the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance will not be far from collapse, and the joining civilizations within the alliance will obviously have a huge gap, and it is natural for them to take the initiative to break away from the alliance one by one.

If this continues, the strength and influence of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance will obviously be amazingly weakened, and it is not even impossible to collapse without a fight in the end.

These people behind the scenes are well aware of the importance of faster-than-light spacecraft, and they are also very aware of how ruthless their sanctions are.

These civilizations monopolize all the spaceship procurement channels of the Meteorite Star Sea, and in fact, they are monopolizing all the spaceship import resources of the Meteorite Star Sea, and they have joined hands to implement such a sanction policy, not to mention a mere interstellar alliance, even the more powerful forces have not been overthrown.

It can be said that an interstellar civilization, as long as it does not have its own spacecraft production capacity, and there are no additional spacecraft procurement channels that are not under their control, then it is impossible not to be affected by their sanctions!

No matter how powerful the interstellar civilization is, it will be constantly weakened under this understatement of sanctions, constantly losing blood, and finally dying completely.

And the facts also show that such sanctions have not been ineffective in the meteorite star sea.

After several of their civilizations joined forces to issue a statement of sanctions against many civilizations in the entire Meteorite Star Sea, the pattern of the entire Meteorite Star Sea was immediately reversed!

Many interstellar civilizations got in touch with them as soon as possible, flattering and flattering them like pugs, and they all said that they would completely draw a line with the alliance and would never get closer to the alliance.

And at such a price, all these civilizations are asking for is a promise, that is, not to cut off the supply of ships to them, and in exchange for this promise, they really agreed to all the conditions they could agree to, without a trace of resistance.

Of course, although these civilizations are so obedient and docile, these civilizations also have a bottom in their hearts, and it is suspicious to let them remain indifferent or even hostile to the alliance, but let them directly attack the alliance, that is something that no civilization dares to agree.

After all, it is true that no civilization dares to offend these spaceship suppliers, but the great force of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance is also the overlord that no one dares to provoke in the Meteorite Star Sea.

Flattery is flattery, no bottom line is no bottom line, but if these civilizations risk their lives to confront the alliance and put them in deep danger, these civilizations will not agree, because that is just self-defeating, and no interstellar civilization will be stupid.

Other than that, none of these interstellar civilizations even uttered a word of protest or dissatisfaction with the price increase imposed by the ship's suppliers.

Because everybody understands that they don't have the right to protest at all.

As the existence of the downstream of the food chain, they are faced with these monopoly resource suppliers, only the right to choose not to accept it, and have no other qualifications to put forward any other dissenting opinions, if they dare to show their existence without measuring themselves, those monopoly resource suppliers will never let go of such a good opportunity to kill chickens and show monkeys.

At that time, these civilizations that do not know the times will definitely face an extremely miserable situation, such as being completely cut off from the supply of spaceships like the Alliance, and this will make them die in the universe in the shortest possible time.

In this cruel world of the Star Sea, all civilizations have long been in constant competition and adaptation, knowing how to survive better, knowing the times is one of the innate conditions for saving life, and if you don't have strong strength, you must not provoke those powerful civilizations, otherwise you can only get into trouble.

It is precisely because all interstellar civilizations are so shrewd and so aware of current affairs, so just a few days later, many civilizations in the Meteorite Star Sea have almost completely severed their ties with the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, and the alliance has been unprecedentedly isolated, as if it has suddenly become a low-level vulnerable group, and no civilization is willing to have the slightest involvement with the alliance, so as not to be injured by mistake.

Not only other civilizations, but even some of the marginal and low-level civilizations within the alliance have become agitated and uneasy, and most of these civilizations regret it to the extreme, regretting how they got on such a thief ship, and it is too late to get off the ship.

But just when the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to the alliance, no civilization expected that the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance would suddenly hit a backhand, giving these behind-the-scenes masterminds an unprecedented tough counterattack!

The Meteorite Star Sea Alliance burst into action, sent several fleets to stealthily dispatch, and took down the entire Meteorite Star Sea in one fell swoop, and all three cross-galaxy wormhole channels!

In fact, this move is not a counterattack by the alliance in response to the move, but a premeditated advance layout of the alliance.

When the ancient Lalun civilization carried out a sudden invasion of the meteorite star sea, the alliance was already very clear that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, this was not the handiwork of a certain civilization, but the complicity of several large interest groups, otherwise they would not need to ask the meteorite star sea galaxy to change the rules of war, this was obviously a request for the interests of those spaceship interest groups.

Therefore, the defeat of the ancient Laren civilization is not the end of the conflict, it is even the beginning of a further escalation of the conflict.

It can be said that if the key to solving the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, then the future alliance will face wave after wave of never-ending impact.

The Wen side has to face the joint sanctions of various powerful civilizations, and the Wu side has to face the joint attack of those powerful civilizations, which can be said to be almost forever peaceful, even with the foundation of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, it is bound to be overwhelmed with heavy losses.

Therefore, at that time, the alliance did not stop after defeating the fleet of the ancient Laren civilization, but launched further actions, preparing to take a solution once and for all, that is, to take the gateway of the meteorite star sea to the outside world.
