Chapter 606 Value Development
PS: Thank you for the 200 starting coins reward support from the Supreme Long Tian!
After taking the No. 1 and No. 2 wormhole passages that originally belonged to the Arroyo civilization, and mastering the large starry sky radiated by the two wormhole passages, the earth civilization soon entered a new period of rapid development. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this stage, the earth civilization has obtained a period of rapid development opportunities for a long time, so that the comprehensive strength of the entire earth civilization is undergoing qualitative changes rapidly with the passage of time.
Externally, the three hegemon-level civilizations led by the Aryo civilization have cut off almost all direct and indirect connections with the earth civilization, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is really difficult to interfere with the rapid development of the earth civilization to any extent.
And those Meteorite Star Sea aboriginal civilizations whose strength is below the hegemon-level civilization, whether it is a sub-powerful civilization at the level of a civilization overlord, or other more powerful civilizations that are inferior to the second, are deeply afraid of the powerful strength of the earth civilization, and no civilization dares to contradict the earth civilization.
These relatively powerful local civilizations, even if they are not like some weak civilizations, have no scruples and directly throw themselves into the arms of the Earth Alliance, and actively hug the thighs of the Earth civilization, but those who are slightly closer to the territory of the Earth civilization have already taken precautions, sent envoys early, and have a certain relationship with the Earth civilization.
Either they presented gifts, expressed their willingness to be friendly with the earth civilization and had no intention of offending, or went further, established a shallow diplomatic relationship with the earth civilization, established a preliminary civilization coordination mechanism, and clarified the behavioral boundaries of the two sides. The establishment of a military intelligence cooperation mechanism, etc., in order to clarify the boundaries of interests between the two sides, and some civilizations, although they have not reached an alliance contract with the earth civilization and joined the earth alliance, but they have also reached a certain specification of business agreement with the earth civilization, and have started some high-end interstellar trade projects with the earth civilization.
In this way, for the sake of the great development of civilization, the earth civilization has also communicated with the surrounding civilizations one by one, and stabilized the relationship with the surrounding star field civilizations.
Of course, the development of the earth's civilization belongs to development, but it does not mean that all the soldiers will be sent to Kuma and Nanshan from now on, but the military expenditure will be reduced to a relatively low proportion, and the military strength should still continue to develop.
After all, in this cruel interstellar civilization world, the basis for the harmonious coexistence between a civilization and its surrounding civilizations lies in its own strong military strength.
You have enough power to have the right and the ability to choose the diplomatic relations you want, whether you want war or peace, it's a natural thing.
But if a civilization is weak, then everything is out of control, you can only passively choose to be beaten and punished, but it is difficult to control your own destiny and direction.
Even if the earth civilization has established normal diplomatic relations with the surrounding civilizations, and there is not much conflict of interests with other civilizations, it is still in the periphery of its own civilization, and a series of standing main battle fleets have been established between the civilizations of the Earth Alliance to ensure the security and order in the surrounding star fields.
In these standing main battle fleet systems, the military strength of the earth civilization is very small, there is only one main fleet, and it is roughly deployed in various star fields around the earth civilization, and the other main battle fleets are distributed and deployed by other alliance members of the Earth Alliance in different proportions, but in the entire standing force system, the dominance of the earth civilization is unquestionable.
And many facts about the long-term implementation of these military projects profoundly illustrate the value of the existence of these fleets.
With the existence of these standing fleets, the main fleet regularly patrols the surrounding star fields, which leads to a powerful deterrent that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the surrounding civilization order is more and more stable, the conflicts between civilizations are greatly reduced, and all kinds of factors that are not conducive to exchanges and exchanges between civilizations are also greatly reduced, and even some dark forces such as interstellar pirates that are not uncommon in the nearby star fields have also been greatly reduced.
What's more, because of the existence of this standing combat power system hosted by the earth civilization, the surrounding civilizations, including non-members of the Earth Alliance, have faintly regarded the earth civilization as a relatively fair arbiter of civilization order, and they are more and more fond of seeking the arbitration and mediation of the earth civilization if there are any contradictions and disputes between them, which makes the reputation and status of the earth civilization in the surrounding large star fields slowly established, and its influence has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people.
Because of the relative peace of the external environment and the existence of the Standing Army of the Earth Alliance controlled in large quantities in the hands of the Earth Civilization, only a small part of the military investment of the Earth Civilization in these years has been invested in the mass manufacturing and reserve of military warships, the maintenance and guarantee of existing forces, etc.
More military spending is invested in the research and development and experimentation of more sophisticated military projects, and most of the new military equipment that has been newly developed and built is only a part of the trial production of small batches for the verification and improvement of technology.
After removing the hidden danger of external threats and mastering a large number of new star fields and territories, the development resources of the earth's civilization can be said to have reached an unprecedented level of wealth.
In addition to the direct territory of the Earth civilization, there are hundreds of subordinate civilizations directly under the control and constraints of the Earth Civilization in the Earth Alliance. The vast star field between the No. 2 wormhole passage ruled all the aboriginal civilizations in this star field by the way, which gave the earth civilization a large amount of unprecedentedly rich resources at once.
For the earth civilization, the existence of this large new territory does not only mean the great development of habitable space, but also means the huge market, the acquisition of a huge amount of human resources, and the acquisition of a large number of spiritual resources.
Different from the three overlord civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea, in their eyes, the many interstellar civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea are just raw materials for biological science research, cheap labor that can be squeezed, and lambs that can be continuously cultivated and harvested, and there is no other value to speak of.
But for the earth civilization, not only the many habiting stars and mineral stars that exist in this vast starry sky itself have great value, but even the many aboriginal civilizations in these star fields also have incomparable value.
The value of these aboriginal civilizations is limited to the strength of civilizations, technology and other constraints, and the overlords of aboriginal civilizations such as Arroyo civilization cannot see or excavate them, but the earth civilization has enough strength to dig out their value, and they are not at all afraid that they will be countered by those subordinate civilizations.
For the earth civilization, the most basic value of these aboriginal civilizations is that they can replace the earth civilization and go to the starry sky for mining and smelting, providing the most solid material foundation for the development and growth of the earth civilization.
Mining is technically not difficult for interstellar civilizations, but this is a rather cumbersome, quite labor-intensive thing, the technical content is too low, for the earth civilization to waste the population of their own civilization to engage in these industries, it is simply not worth the loss, so it is quite cost-effective to transfer the industrial division of labor in these aspects to their own subordinate civilizations.
The earth civilization does not even need to be cruel and oppressive, it only needs to come up with a reasonable low price, which can attract a large number of local interstellar civilizations to invest in the mining industry, and the earth civilization can completely open the door to unlimited acquisitions, and the cost that needs to be borne by the earth civilization can be offset by casually exporting a faster-than-light spaceship.
In addition to the old trick of allowing the aboriginal civilization to carry out the great cause of mining, after gaining a peaceful and broad space for development, the earth civilization has also launched a series of new cooperation, moving a large number of jobs to the hands of many other interstellar civilizations.
Some basic planting industry, basic primary industry, and even some low-content, low-value mental work, etc., the earth civilization has slowly begun to cooperate with many civilizations under the earth alliance system and transfer them.
For the earth civilization, this is quite a cost-effective thing, the transfer of a large number of low-value jobs to subordinate civilizations, not only can the earth civilization more deeply use the human and material resources of many local civilizations, liberate the human and material resources of the earth civilization itself, but also can form a deep economic and interest relationship with many subordinate civilizations, so as to form a deeper control over the subordinate civilizations, which is undoubtedly a great thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Of course, for many considerations, the pace of transfer of these industries will not be very fast, and all the transferred industries, technologies, materials, equipment and other technologies and equipment are planned and arranged by the official government of the earth civilization in advance, and can only be transferred after obtaining permission.
And these transferred industries and technologies are consciously divided and arranged, for example, a subordinate civilization will only be arranged to undertake a small part of the industrial division of labor, those who grow cotton only grow cotton, and those who grow corn only grow corn. In a civilization community, the earth's civilization will carry out the primary industry, a single division of labor arrangement, and will not let these subordinate civilizations piece together, can piece together a complete industrial system, not to mention a complete industrial system, often adjacent civilizations together, are difficult to put together a low-end machinery production process.
Although this profound industrial arrangement of the earth civilization cannot be concealed from any civilization, everyone knows that the earth civilization is doing this to prevent them from stealing the technical secrets of the earth civilization, but to be honest, the earth civilization is willing to carry out the transfer and division of labor of these industries, which is already an unprecedented preferential treatment for many subordinate civilizations.
In any case, while the earth civilization gives these subordinate civilizations these industries and jobs, it is also equivalent to the value of these subordinate civilizations, so that these civilizations begin to gradually become valuable in the eyes of the earth civilization.
A person has value, even if he is exploited by others, but he has a job and income, he can survive and live better, which is the same for a civilization, after joining the industrial division of labor layout of the earth civilization, their survival is equivalent to a long-term security, as long as the earth civilization has a demand for them, then they do not need to worry about survival and safety at all.
The earth civilization can also take advantage of this opportunity of industrial transfer to greatly expand the strength of the civilization and open up a large number of low-end industries, so that the superior population can be more concentrated in those more valuable links, which undoubtedly greatly accelerates the development of the earth civilization.
Of course, this seems to be quite simple, and it is extremely logical, but in fact it is not easy to do this, the reason why the earth civilization can carry out this large-scale industrial division of labor between interstellar civilizations is largely because the earth civilization is exporting faster-than-light spaceships on a large scale, and a large number of faster-than-light spaceships have entered various subordinate civilizations, which essentially accelerates the speed of communication between civilizations, and it is precisely in this way that many industrial divisions of labor become meaningful, otherwise, many things have a shelf life, and the long freight cycle is enough to make the industrial division of labor worthless and meaninglessAfter all, not everything is as durable as ore.
For the old overlord-level civilization of the Meteorite Star Sea, they completely disdain to carry out these troublesome and cumbersome industrial divisions, for them, relying on strong plunder is much faster than this, and it is much more worry-free, so naturally there is no need to work so hard at all.
But for the earth civilization, this is of great significance, because for the earth civilization, the greatest significance of the existence of these subordinate civilizations is that they can exist as a continuous supply of spiritual energy for the earth civilization, which makes the population of the subordinate civilization valuable because of its existence itself.
