Even for a cosmic-level civilization, it is almost impossible to cross a faster-than-light spaceship interest group purely by economic means, and the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.

After all, the faster-than-light spaceship industry is a well-known profiteering industry, and the benefits of a faster-than-light spaceship exported by a spaceship supplier are greater than the cost of ten faster-than-light spaceships.

It is absolutely impossible for the ruling civilization to be ruthless to itself in order to eliminate those superluminal spaceship interest groups that are not within its control, and take the initiative to reduce prices and dump internally.

Because the faster-than-light spaceship is not an ordinary commodity, on the one hand, it is an absolute hard currency, no matter how much spacecraft is available on the market, as long as those interstellar civilizations still have purchasing power, they will not hesitate to eat it, this market demand is too large, and it can't be satisfied at all.

In this way, as long as those ruling civilizations dare to reduce the price and dump the faster-than-light spaceship, then those illegal faster-than-light spacecraft interest groups can also take advantage of the trend to reduce the price and ship, and there is no worry about no buyers at all.

Even if the ruling civilization lowers its spaceship to the cost price range and sells it, and does its best to suppress the profit margin of the faster-than-light spaceship interest group, the faster-than-light spaceship interest group can completely raise its selling price to several times the profit margin, and the civilization that is willing to buy it is still a lot.

Because the market demand for faster-than-light spaceships is too large, even if there are more spaceships in stock, they can't meet the market demand, and there are always some interstellar civilizations that can't buy goods even with money.

Therefore, for the relatively low price of the spaceship interest group that only charges several times the profit, rather than the cost price of the spaceship similar to the dumping of the ruling civilization, those interstellar civilizations that can't buy the goods are not picky at all, and they all want to buy it, and there will be no doubts at all.

After all, the large price fluctuations in the spaceship market, all interstellar civilizations know very well that it is not a normal thing, and there is an opportunity to buy low-cost products, these interstellar civilizations are already happy to close their mouths, how dare they dislike it, it is not the lowest price, you don't want to buy it, and some interstellar civilizations are willing to pay to buy it.

In this way, the strategy of dumping at low prices can be said to have been a complete failure, and there is no way to prevent the spaceship interest groups from continuing to profit from the sale, and it will only make the ruling civilization suffer huge losses.

On the other hand, a faster-than-light spaceship is not a fast-moving consumer product, as long as it is properly maintained, a normal faster-than-light spaceship can still be used for thousands of years, and it can still be barely used.

If the ruling civilization greatly reduces the price internally and dumps it, even if it prepares more supplies, it will be impossible to meet the strong demand of buyers, and the more it is sold, the greater the damage to the ruling civilization, and those interstellar civilizations that have sufficient spaceship inventory may greatly reduce the purchase demand for normal-priced faster-than-light spaceships for thousands of years, which is equivalent to letting the ruling civilization spoil its own jobs and reduce the potential of spaceship sales.

In this way, if you want to defeat the spaceship interest groups by means of a price war, it can be said that it is completely a matter of seeking fish, and the harder the price war is fought, the greater the damage will only be done to the ruling civilization itself, and it is completely impossible to defeat those spaceship interest groups by using this to defeat them.

It can be said that as long as the spaceship interest group still has its own spaceship production capacity, then there will never be a shortage of room for profit, and the survivability can be said to be tenacious to the extreme, and the cosmic-level civilization cannot destroy these forces by economic means alone.

Some people may think that the technology of cosmic-level civilizations is so powerful, as long as they are willing, their faster-than-light spaceship production capacity will be incomparably powerful, the production is high, and the spaceship performance is strong enough, how can it not steal the business of those spaceship interest groups?

However, in fact, the strength of science and technology is not able to win more spaceship markets for cosmic-level civilizations.

Because almost all powerful forces have the same attitude towards the outgoing faster-than-light spaceship, that is, the performance does not need to be too good, and a speed of several times the speed of light is enough, so the performance gap between these fast-than-light spaceships sold to the outside world is not large, and they simply cannot gain any overwhelming advantage in the competition with the spacecraft interest group.

The same is true of the earth's civilization, although its foreign trade faster-than-light spacecraft has a large output and relatively superior performance, there is no qualitative gap compared to the faster-than-light spacecraft produced by the core civilization of the alliance.

As for the strategy of dumping at low prices, which has long been proven to be useless, the earth's civilization has never intended to adopt it from the beginning.

After all, if the earth civilization wants to operate the faster-than-light spaceship industry in the immigrant star field, it is also to obtain benefits, and it is impossible to do things that harm themselves and others, at least the profits of the earth civilization in the immigrant star field cannot be lower than the profits in the meteorite star sea civilization circle, which is destined to make it impossible for the earth civilization to adopt any low-price dumping strategy.

In this way, relying only on economic means, it is obviously impossible for the earth civilization to completely defeat these core civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance.

After all, to be honest, in addition to the scientific and technological advantages of the earth civilization, from an economic point of view, the earth civilization is not only not dominant, but also slightly inferior compared to the core civilization interest groups.

After all, the base camp of the earth civilization is far away in the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, and now it is still vigorously expanding the colonization system, and the number of faster-than-light ships needed is also an astronomical number, relatively speaking, the number of spaceships that the earth civilization can import into the immigrant star field is much smaller, and the overall scale is actually not much larger than the production capacity of the core civilization of the alliance.

On the one hand, the scarce production capacity cannot fully meet the purchase needs of many interstellar civilizations in the immigrant star field, on the other hand, the spaceships of the earth civilization are transported over long distances and are of relatively better quality, which inevitably brings some price increases, making the spaceships produced by the earth civilization relatively expensive.

Although these factors will not lead to the unsalable spaceships of the earth's civilization, it is obviously even more hopeless to completely occupy the spaceship market of the core civilization of the alliance by virtue of normal economic behavior, and then crush the interest groups of the core civilization of the alliance.

Especially these core civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance, they are all the top civilizations in the immigrant star field, all of them have been rooted here for tens of thousands of years, and they can be described as deep-rooted and absolute landowners, even they have been operating the faster-than-light spaceship industry for hundreds of years, and they don't know how many supporting factories and hidden underground bases have been established in various parts of the immigrant star field.

These localized production capacities have allowed many core civilizations of the alliance to build a huge industrial chain in the immigrant star field, and countless interstellar civilizations have potential interests with these core civilizations in the open and covert, and the spaceship sales that support these core civilizations are themselves expanding the interests of these related civilizations.

This kind of localized deep-rooted interest exchange naturally increases the ability of the alliance's core civilizations to sell spaceships, and many interstellar civilizations that immigrate to the star field will naturally choose to buy faster-than-light spaceships of these core civilizations in many cases, even if they are considering their own interests.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it is simply impossible to cut off the profit channels of these core civilizations and cut off their economic tentacles.

Fortunately, the earth civilization occupies an absolute dominant position in today's immigrant star field, and the earth civilization can use too many means to deal with its own enemies in the immigrant star field, and it is for this reason that the earth civilization has the confidence to use relatively peaceful means to solve the huge trouble of the core civilization of the meteorite star sea alliance.

During this period of time, the earth civilization has set up a lot of new obstacles to those core civilizations with the help of the new management system of the immigrant star field, and a series of various management regulations have been announced, which have restricted the production, sales, transportation, and management of the superluminal spaceship parts and entire ships of those core civilizations of the alliance in all aspects, greatly increasing the production cost of the spaceships of these core civilizations, limiting the scope of use, standardizing management procedures, and so on.

These seemingly inconspicuous means are stacked layer after layer, which is enough to bring huge trouble to these alliance core civilizations, consume a lot of their energy, and even affect the normal use of their customers for spaceships.

However, although these methods are not small, the time and energy they require are too great to be completely effective in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the fact that the immigrant star field had just been taken over by the earth civilization, and the influence of those core civilizations was too huge, once they were easily killed, it would easily disrupt the civilization order of the entire immigrant star field, causing great destructive consequences, and the earth civilization would definitely kill these core civilizations!

However, the strength that the earth civilization can use in the immigrant star field is limited, so after thinking about it repeatedly, in the end, it still did not choose to do so, but chose this relatively gentle method of dealing with it, and slowly solved these core civilizations step by step.

In fact, a large part of the reason for this choice is that the civilization of the earth feels that even if they use violent means against these core civilizations, they may not be able to truly solve their problems.

After all, these core civilizations are scattered all over the immigrant star field, and the scope of the branches is too vast, and the earth civilization is not completely sure that it can be captured in one fell swoop and wipe them all out at once.

And as long as they can't be completely wiped out at once, then this hornet's nest will not dare to poke it easily, otherwise it will easily cause endless trouble.

The previous destruction of the three hegemon-level civilizations by the Earth civilization in the meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle is a good case, and the various twists and turns encountered by the Earth civilization fully prove that these interest groups are not so easy to clean up.

In order to compete for the hegemony of the meteorite star sea civilization circle, the earth civilization used various means to finally destroy the three hegemon-level civilizations of the meteorite star sea in one fell swoop.

Of course, it is said that the three hegemon-level civilizations of the meteorite star sea have been destroyed, but in fact, what has really been eliminated is only the military power of the three hegemon-level civilizations, but most of the innumerable population of these three overlord-level civilizations has been retained, and after being divided into many independent new civilizations by the earth civilization, they have gradually migrated to various regions, becoming a subsidiary force of the earth civilization, and deeply controlled by the earth civilization.

However, after the three hegemon-level civilizations of the meteorite star sea civilization circle were wiped out, a large number of old and young people took the opportunity to escape, and some of the remnants of the three hegemon-level civilizations who mastered the core technology even went into hiding, continuing to operate the faster-than-light spaceship industry and competing with the earth civilization for the profits of the spaceship industry.

They even re-colluded with places outside the control area of the Earth civilization at that time, and re-established a faster-than-light spaceship production system, which was simply an open flame singing against the Earth civilization, competing for the interstellar civilization spaceship market, and even colluding with the Iron War Star to try to overthrow the rule of the Earth civilization in the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance.

Later, the earth civilization destroyed the power established by this interest group and cleared up this huge hidden danger, but even so, the follow-up troubles were not completely solved.

After all, the faster-than-light spaceship interest groups are all extremely tenacious in vitality and incomparably convenient in obtaining resources, and they have ruled the meteorite star sea civilization circle for countless years, and they don't know how many hidden hands and how many hidden bases are hidden in the entire meteorite star sea civilization circle, these are the capital for their comeback.

What's more, these interest groups themselves are the products of the defeat of the three hegemon-level civilizations, even if they later have the support of the Iron Warrior Star and dare to provoke the majesty of the earth's civilization. But the shadow of failure also deeply affects them, so that they do not dare to completely gamble.

Therefore, the interstellar forces that were defeated by the earth civilization are actually only part of the spaceship interest group, although the spaceship interest group after this defeat can be called a broken bone, but their core technology has not been completely lost, and they still have the strength to stir up the wind and rain.

Even if the Earth civilization won a brilliant victory on the frontal battlefield, it would be impossible to completely uproot the remnants of the entire spaceship interest group in one fell swoop.

Since then, the confrontation and conflict between the earth civilization and this spaceship interest group in the meteorite star sea civilization circle has never really stopped, and has always been faintly plaguing the earth civilization. Although this trouble is not enough to shake the foundation of the ruling stone of the earth's civilization, it has always caused a headache for the earth's civilization.
