Chapter 455: The Benefits of Commerce
ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Bose Hammer! Thank you for the reward and support of Supreme Longtian! Thank you very much!
Fortunately, for the civilization of the earth, the situation has not yet developed in this direction!
This is thanks to the expansion mode developed by the Earth civilization in the meteorite star sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the comprehensive strength of the earth's civilization, these remote and weak interstellar civilizations in the surrounding star fields cannot compete with the earth's civilization at all.
If we follow the practice of ordinary interstellar civilizations, for these weak civilizations that are both weak, eyesore, and obstructive, we must either drive them out or wipe them out, so as to obtain a safe and broad development environment that is sufficient.
Although this practice is cruel and bloody, it is the most common thing in the universe, and it has long been commonplace for interstellar civilizations, and it cannot become a moral burden.
After all, in the competition between interstellar civilizations, there is no such thing as the "nuclear peace era" of the earth, there is a kind of terror weapon that can make any civilization die as long as it is possessed, in this case, the slaughter of the weak by the strong is just the most primitive choice based on natural competition, which is a natural thing.
However, the earth civilization restrained this primitive impulse, and the earth civilization was sensitive to the potential value and threat of these weak interstellar civilizations to the earth civilization, so it opened up an interstellar trade route that allowed all civilizations along the route to share their interests in the meteorite star sea.
Such an approach can be said to have never been achieved for the Meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle.
If the powerful cosmic civilization wants to plunder wealth from other civilizations, it can just grab it, and where can it be used to painstakingly operate any trade routes!
That's too shabby for a hegemon-level civilization!
People exploit other civilizations, and they only need to sit at home and take the bait, and they can squeeze the oil and water of other civilizations clean by selling faster-than-light spaceships. And with a super-lucrative business like a faster-than-light spaceship, running a business and doing something similar to a small merchant and hawker is too low-end for a hegemon-level civilization, even if the profits are at their fingertips, people are not willing to dirty their hands for this...... Such a business is almost never even attempted.
In addition to the overlord-level civilization, several small overlord civilizations are interested in opening up the trade of the meteorite star sea, but because their own faster-than-light spaceships have relatively high acquisition costs and operating costs, they cannot afford to play a low-end commercial route similar to the earth civilization. They operate back and forth, and the final trade network they form is still based on the trade and sales of the faster-than-light spacecraft itself as a selling point, and it is difficult to form other types of commercial trade, because the cost of maintaining the commercial trade system of the entire faster-than-light spacecraft as the main carrier is too high, and it is difficult to form stable profits from any other goods.
Therefore, this business expansion plan that the earth civilization seems to have hastily made, but it is really an innovation, and it is a special game that can only be played based on its own special advantages.
The aborigines of the Meteorite Star Sea, who have the ability to play, disdain it, and those who are not capable of playing, it is useless to think too much, but in the end, the earth civilization has eaten this oral soup, so that the earth civilization has gradually opened up a new situation in the interstellar civilization trade of the Meteorite Star Sea, and at the same time, it has promoted the commercial and economic development of the surrounding civilizations, and at the same time, it has also made a lot of money.
Although this approach is too mild and not so clean compared to the decisiveness of killing the surrounding civilizations, in fact, this new pioneering and enterprising way finally helped the earth civilization to complete the complete integration of the surrounding interstellar civilization, so that the arrival of the earth civilization silently but forever changed the pattern of the surrounding civilization ecology, and also allowed the earth civilization to completely integrate into the surrounding interstellar civilization ecology.
And in this whole process of change, although the surrounding interstellar civilizations have repeatedly felt the pressure brought to them by the continuous expansion of the earth's civilization, and constantly felt the reality that their own development space has been restricted and squeezed, many civilizations have wanted to destroy the development of the earth's civilization more than once, lest one day their own civilization be suffocated and strangled to death in silence!
However, the trade routes operated by the earth's civilization have also brought unprecedented new changes to these civilizations, allowing them to enjoy the benefits brought by prosperous trade routes, but they have chosen patience and compromise again and again.
After all, once the arrival of a powerful foreign civilization is attracted and a large-scale interstellar melee is triggered, it is hard to say whether the earth civilization will be wiped out, but these weak aborigines are 100% unable to escape a tragic military disaster, and maybe they will disappear in the universe in the blink of an eye!
Therefore, in the end, after weighing the pros and cons countless times, they successfully adapted to the reality of the arrival of the earth's civilization, and with the help of the arrival of the earth's civilization, they won the greatest benefit for themselves.
Under the change of the business routes operated by the earth's civilization, many status quos that were considered unbreakable have been rapidly dismantled and changed.
The once vast sea of stars, although an interstellar civilization lived in it, it was almost equivalent to a piece of isolated islands in the long ocean, easy to survive, but extremely limited in development, and the long distance made it difficult for various civilizations to form exchanges and complementarities, and huge interests were precipitated in the seabed and difficult to realize.
The advent of the Earth's civilization has changed all that!
Although the arrival of the earth's civilization has caused a lot of confusion and pressure to these indigenous civilizations. But for the vast majority of indigenous civilizations, they are well aware of the power gap between their own civilization and the civilization of the earth.
In their opinion, since the earth civilization has not been unscrupulous to expel and kill weak civilizations like other powerful civilizations, it is obvious that the earth civilization is already a good neighbor.
Although the development of the neighbor civilization on Earth is astonishingly fast, and the desire to develop new planets seems to be endless, this does not really pose a threat to a considerable part of the nearby civilizations.
After all, the earth civilization is thousands of times stronger than them, even if the earth civilization is ten times stronger, it doesn't matter to them, just like to an ant, a cow or a dog, it makes no difference, if you really get a kick, there will always be only a dead end.
On the contrary, if the two coexist peacefully, the ants may be able to catch some dog-cow dung or something, and get some benefits.
Just like the trade route hosted by the earth's civilization, although the greatest benefit is inevitably enjoyed by the earth's civilization, the remaining benefits are also inexhaustible to many civilizations involved in trade, so that they rush to integrate into this trade network, and they are busy as if they have really become ants.
For the civilization of the earth, it is just this political elimination of contradictions and the assimilation of surrounding civilizations, which is a great credit to this trade route.
After all, the earth civilization is an outsider, and if it really kills the nearby civilizations, then it will inevitably cause a situation where everyone is in danger.
The civilization in this meteorite star sea, although the communication in the material point of view is cherished and scarce, but based on the long-distance communication connection, it is indeed not lacking, if the earth civilization really kills everywhere it goes, then the murderous name will immediately become famous, well-known far and near, and then if you want to get the opportunity for stable development, it will be difficult and difficult.
At that time, even if other civilizations are trying to maintain their own survival, they will inevitably attract other powerful civilizations in the meteorite star sea, which is obviously a very serious obstacle to the development of the earth civilization, and there are all kinds of harm but no benefit.
Today's earth civilization, the development of such rapid and efficient, it can be said that every year passes, the foundation of the earth civilization in the meteorite star sea will be stable, strong, this hard-won good situation, it is naturally necessary to maintain as much as possible, it only takes a long period of development, the earth civilization will be completely firm here, even if it is in the meteorite star sea to stir up the monstrous waves, the earth civilization can also sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, immovable!
The establishment of business, this kind of stability maintenance weapon, for the earth civilization, the price that needs to be paid is not only as simple as low cost, but also a million profits, every moment can generate huge profits, harvest a large number of rare products, these precious resources are transported back to the earth, for the improvement of the core industrial capacity of the entire earth civilization is of great significance.
Therefore, for a long time, it has been an unswerving long-term policy for the earth civilization to open up different trade routes and integrate more and more interstellar civilizations and even planetary civilizations into this trade network dominated by the earth civilization.
Under the infiltration and integration of these interstellar gold trade routes, the aboriginal interstellar civilizations in the meteorite star sea regard the earth civilization as the de facto suzerain, and their attitude towards the earth civilization has changed again and again, from the initial suspicion and vigilance, to gradually become recognized and flattered.
It is really because many interstellar civilizations, with the help of the spaceship business of the earth civilization, have gained more and more profits, gained more and more markets, and reaped benefits that they could not even think of before.
With the vastness and richness of the meteorite star sea, even in this small area of nearby star fields, there are dozens of interstellar civilizations, large and small, although the overall civilization level of these interstellar civilizations is not high, but each civilization has its own unique civilization characteristics, and they are extremely complementary to each other.
The trade network of the earth's civilizations served as a bridge in the middle, and once the exchange restrictions of various civilizations were opened, these civilizations soon burst into strong trade enthusiasm!
All kinds of materials and commodities have entered each other's markets through the earth's civilizations, and all civilizations have enjoyed the huge benefits brought by such exchanges and trades!
It may be that some kind of fatal terminal disease within one civilization, in another civilization, a weed-like plant that can be seen everywhere and everywhere, can cure the other party's terminal disease, not only completely cured, but the price is cheaper as if it is a treatment for a cold, such cases have even happened more than once in the interstellar trade between civilizations.
It is also possible that a certain pollutant substance that is regarded as a great harm within a certain civilization is a kind of raw material for a delicacy that is cherished in the eyes of other civilizations.
Such benefits can be experienced countless times by any interstellar civilization once it has opened the door to foreign exchanges.
The great benefits and surprises that can be shown with disdain before they have been enjoyed, but once they have enjoyed the unprecedented convenience and great benefits, then no civilization will have the courage and perseverance to abstain from the benefits of this trade.
What's more, for these interstellar civilizations, in addition to the market between many local civilizations, the earth civilization also provides them with an incomparably vast market!
Although the business of all kinds of brainless acquisitions may not be full of surprises as the trade between civilizations, the acquisition of various scarce mineral resources by the earth civilization is an indispensable and important trade channel for any civilization.
Trade with the earth's civilization can be said to have become the most powerful channel for the expansion of jobs for many civilizations, and the unlimited market acquisition has provided the supply market for the cheapest jobs of each civilization, and the earth currency obtained from trade with the earth's civilization has become the most suitable equivalent exchange for trade among civilizations, and it is also the strongest foreign exchange reserve.
It can be said that the trade routes created by the earth civilization are already the lifeblood of many interstellar civilizations, and once the earth civilization is to announce it one day, we will not engage in this trade route in the future, then many civilizations may fall into a state of collapse overnight, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Of course, such benefits may be enough to offset all the negative effects caused by the civilization of the earth for those civilizations that are weaker and do not have an abyss in mind about the future.
However, for some powerful civilizations, such benefits are not enough, for them, having relatively more faster-than-light ships is enough for them to maintain internal transportation needs while opening up external markets to a certain extent.
The commercial shipping lanes opened up by the earth's civilization are an incomparable input of interests for ordinary civilizations, but for such a powerful civilization, it may affect the profits of their commercial trade.
Some markets that could have been monopolized are now open up to a broader market, which may cause huge losses to powerful civilizations, and from this point of view, these civilizations obviously have full reasons to go against the civilization of the earth. (To be continued.) )
