Chapter 449: Interstellar Trade
ps: Thank you for your support! Thank you very much!
As soon as the commercial exchange plan of such a scale of the earth civilization was released, it immediately triggered a twelve-scale commercial tsunami among the many interstellar civilizations in the surrounding star fields, causing the shock and expectation of many civilizations!
In this long-impoverished star field, such a large customer as the Earth civilization, which is almost unlimited in the amount of goods, and the supplier who sells various commercial products almost without limit, can be said to be a dream-level existence that countless civilizations have longed for for countless years, but have never been able to meet one.

To say that as an interstellar civilization, even if it is only the lowest and weakest interstellar civilization, it can grow all the way from primitive civilizations and planetary civilizations, and finally stand among the interstellar civilizations of the meteorite star sea.
Some are proficient in metal smelting, some are stronger than biological gene research, and some have unique attainments in the field of chemistry, it can be said that each civilization has its own strength, has its own relatively top-notch specialized field, and as an independent and self-reliant model of civilization, these interstellar civilizations also have at least their own set of industrial systems, although faster-than-light spaceships can not be produced by everyone, but decent sub-lightspeed spaceships, each civilization can still produce independently.
In this case, these civilizations that have rushed to the stars and have their own strong production capacity can be said to have a strong impulse and tendency to communicate and trade with other civilizations.
You must know that although it is an interstellar civilization, each has solved some basic problems in the development of its own civilization, but each civilization still has many problems that need to be solved within itself, and there are bottlenecks of development that must be broken.
Therefore, after many interstellar civilizations communicate through remote information and understand each other's hole cards and general conditions, they have irrepressibly generated a series of trade needs, hoping to obtain each other's goods, technologies or services.
It's just that in this star field, because all civilizations are poor and backward, and the ability of interstellar voyages is extremely lacking, so even if many interstellar civilizations are extremely eager to carry out large-scale commercial exchanges and trade, and cooperate with each other to improve through each other's commodity and technical exchanges, they are limited by capacity, cost, Although this kind of interstellar civilization does not exist in terms of consumption capacity, it has always been unsatisfactory in terms of scale and quality, and it cannot meet the needs of each civilization itself.
After all, even in this relatively closed, closed, and remote star field, the distance between civilizations is often measured in light years or even tens of light years, and the contact between them is simply extremely weak.
Even if the two civilizations need each other to the extreme, and they can't wait to communicate with each other, but the vast interstellar space is long enough to make people despair.
Unless the communication between interstellar civilizations is extremely scarce in their respective civilizations, and there are generally only one or two faster-than-light spaceships as the carrier of trade, a casual trade exchange may easily take tens of hundreds of years, such a long transaction time, low transaction efficiency, and a series of problems that need to be solved if civilizations want to trade, such as credit, finance, regulations, It can be said that the restrictions on trading methods and so on are basically not necessary, and they are related to the important trading needs, otherwise civilizations will not bother to trade with each other at all.
Without him, because this kind of trade between civilizations is too difficult and complicated, it can almost be said that it has exceeded the limit of patience of most civilizations, and the transaction costs are so huge that it is almost unimaginable.
In order to solve this difficult trading situation, many aboriginal civilizations in the surrounding star fields have exhausted many possible ways in the long history of hundreds of thousands of years, but the final result is not ideal, because of various reasons, the hostility between civilizations, the inconvenience of interstellar trade, etc., it has always been difficult to build large-scale trade channels between each other.
The results of countless years of interstellar trade that have compromised with each other are just some fixed planets between many interstellar civilizations, forming a number of trade planet nodes, and many civilizations are like rushing to the market, every few years or ten years, on the trade planets shared by some civilizations, as if they are rushing to set up stalls, putting on many special products of their own civilizations, and carrying out some trade with other civilizations.
Although this kind of barely made up of trade provides a certain medium and channel for trade between many civilizations, it can only provide a small number of cutting-edge trade needs, and it is simply impossible for civilizations to try to carry out large-scale trade exchanges through this, so as to stimulate employment within their own civilizations and promote the development of their own civilizations.
You must know that there are too many problems with this kind of weak civilization trade assembly led by the main trading object, and it is barely enough to alleviate the trade demand between civilizations a little, and it is simply impossible to solve the large-scale circulation and trade between civilizations.
After all, these small planetary trade nodes, because they are often located at the junction of several civilizations, have a little convenient characteristics in transportation, but the neighbors between civilizations for countless years have done it, and there is no confrontation and hatred, which is conceivable and impossible. It is never uncommon to deceive, so the role of these trade node planets is naturally not great, and there are not many problems to be solved.
Those important trading planet nodes, planets that can be used by a large number of planets to trade together, are often too far away from the distance between civilizations, although they have positive significance, but the transaction of tens or hundreds of years obviously cannot solve the big problem.
In fact, in the meteorite star sea civilization circle, this custom of relying on trade node planets to do business is very common, and the old faster-than-light spacecraft trading network with a trade network covering the entire meteorite star sea is an upgraded version of this trade situation.
It's just a faster-than-light spaceship product, this kind of thing is just needed by various interstellar civilizations, and it can naturally attract many civilizations to participate in trade regardless of the hardships and dangers, regardless of the cost, and other civilization products or something, not to mention that they can't enter the door of this kind of spaceship trade planet, and the audience is far less extensive than that of faster-than-light spaceships, so it is naturally troublesome to trade.
However, this has plagued the trade problems of many interstellar civilizations in the nearby star fields for countless years, but it is not a problem for the Earth civilization at all.
Even if other civilizations want to engage in interstellar trade, limited to the long distances between planets, huge time consumption, and ultra-high trade costs, it is always unprofitable to calculate, and even if there is a strong demand for interstellar trade, it is ultimately difficult to make the trip.
However, with the development of the earth's civilization to the extent that the annual output of low-end cargo faster-than-light spaceships can reach several hundred, coupled with the new spacecraft stock every year, the cost of transportation passengers and freight within the earth's civilization can be said to have been reduced to a very low level.
Although the faster-than-light spaceship of the earth's civilization is still quite expensive, a cargo spaceship that is nearly 10,000 meters long and can reach thousands of meters in width, and the various goods that can be carried in a voyage have completely reached hundreds of billions of tons or even trillions of tons of loads.
In the interior of the earth's civilization, these cargo spaceships have been reduced to the extent that they can be profitable to carry rice, white flour and other fresh food, iron ore, copper ore and other industrial raw materials between planets.
After all, the trade list given to these alien civilizations by the Earth civilization, although the number of commodity catalogs is huge, the demand is extremely strong, and there is no upper limit, giving these interstellar civilizations the opportunity to work in the dark to earn hard-earned money.
But in fact, none of the items listed on these trade lists for commercial needs are cheap and trouble-free, and they are either scarce in reserves, difficult to extract, or unique biological resources of each civilization. Either it takes a huge amount of manpower and material resources to obtain high-energy-consuming products, and the products required are almost all primary industrial raw materials and other things, the added value of science and technology is not calculated at all, and the price of resources is simply given, or the price of gold sold into loess, which gives the price if it is based on the supply and demand price of the earth's interior, it can make people spit out on the spot.
It can be said that as long as other civilizations are willing to sell to the earth civilization according to the order price, the earth civilization will accept all the orders, and they will be willing to accept as much as they want, and there is no upper limit at all! It is the same as the description on the trade list, without the slightest hint of falsehood.
These things are not to say that they are for the earth civilization, but also for some low-end cosmic civilizations, they are also full of hard currency, extremely valuable! There is no depreciation at all, all kinds of biological resources, genetic resources can enhance the biological resources of the earth civilization, accelerate the biological science research of the earth civilization, and all kinds of cherished minerals, rare raw materials, etc., are all kinds of industrial food necessary for various industrial categories, are scarce additives and key important raw materials, many in the production and manufacture of faster-than-light spacecraft, The R&D and production of wormhole tunnels, as well as the production of other cutting-edge technological products, are very needed.
Hard currency like this, scarce resources, since the earth civilization has this opportunity, of course, it must not hesitate to scrape, anyway, it is the price of cabbage, and it is not a loss to buy as much as it wants, that is, the earth civilization, with such a trading ability and low transaction costs, can do this kind of trading.
Although compared with the domineering trading model of the Meteorite Star Sea, the earth civilization is weaker in the form of commercial opening, but for the earth civilization, this is a more stable and stable development model, which is more suitable for the needs of the earth civilization.
And for those interstellar civilizations, they themselves may not understand the importance of these materials, after all, they are all interstellar civilizations, and some low-end science and technology must be mastered, similar to the industrial value of gold, platinum, radioactive elements and other substances, scarce reserves, of course they know, and others look strange, Asking for special types of goods, although they don't understand what the use of these things is, but compared with the purchase price of the earth's civilization, even if it is a difference in the purchase price, it has undoubtedly shown the importance of these materials on the side.
These civilizations are not stupid, even if they close their eyes, they know that they are slaughtered, the price of the earth civilization must be terrifyingly low, the price of this ton of gold three-yuan earth coin must be so low that it makes people vomit blood, if it is possible, of course they will not be willing to sell such scarce materials with such a blood-vomiting price.
However, what they know better is the preciousness of this interstellar trade.
After all, the earth's civilization is not only an unlimited purchase of various materials, but also sells goods and services at the same time as the purchase of materials.
All kinds of goods, down to simple machinery, up to faster-than-light spaceships, are sold by the earth's civilizations, although the price of these enjoyment commodities is simply as expensive as the price of the purchased goods, and similar to the price of faster-than-light spaceships, there are all kinds of additional terms and restrictions on purchasing, but compared to buying from the three hegemon-level civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea, the price is still much cheaper.
What's more critical is that the earth civilization needs a variety of goods, even the weak civilization can freely choose the types of goods to sell, accumulate wealth little by little with the spirit of ants gnawing bones, and finally spend hundreds or thousands of years to exchange for faster-than-light spaceships with the earth civilization.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for those planetary civilizations to reach the sky in one step! )
