Chapter 324: The Road to Civilization
And such a civilization, for Sima Mulong, is exactly the role he has always hoped to see.
It is neither too strong, nor too weak, has a certain influence, and has a certain interstellar background and communication network, but the comprehensive strength is not so strong that it is difficult for the earth civilization to catch up, and it is a quite suitable chess piece for the future earth civilization.
Once the future earth civilization has accumulated enough strength and begins to officially set foot in the meteorite star sea civilization circle, with the help of the civilization captured by Sima Mulong before, plus this Sisko civilization, several civilizations together will be enough to form a powerful firewall to help the earth civilization resist the gaze of several hegemon-level civilizations in this civilization circle.
Because in such a vast area, the number of civilizations exceeds the sky, and the standard interstellar civilization alone has thousands of huge civilization circles, there are undoubtedly too many rich resources that can be used to provide a civilization that can grow rapidly.
For an emerging civilization like the earth with a strong heritage and super civilization potential, it is simply unrealistic to rely on itself to slowly accumulate all resources and grow by snowballing little by little.
The most suitable way for the development of the earth's civilization is to obtain the most scarce civilization resources from the surrounding civilizations in a relatively legitimate form with the help of various means of commerce and management.
Because this method seems to be ordinary and ordinary, it does not have the kind of kind of way to push sideways, sweep the world, and crush all kinds of civilizations, but this kind of win-win survival means. It is the power that can really mobilize the interstellar civilizations in the meteorite star sea civilization circle. With the combined forces of countless civilizations. A reliable way to elevate your own civilization to the level of the most powerful civilization.
After all, with the power of the earth alone, a population of tens of billions of people, even if the population of the earth's civilization can double in a few decades, this population base is only a drop in the bucket compared to the human resources of the entire meteorite star sea civilization circle. In terms of the ability to recover various resources, even if the earth civilization is a horse, it cannot catch up with the absolute advantage of the strength of the large number of people.
Only by using the power of commerce and commerce to provide other civilizations, their most scarce and wanted, strategic commodities, can we use the manpower and material resources of the earth's small population to leverage the largest amount of resources and promote the rapid development of the earth's civilization.
Whether it is an ultra-high-value ecological star, or a large number of rare minerals, metals, species resources, or even suitable race resources, scientific researchers, technicians, etc., these things are lacking a lot of the earth's civilization. Once it can be obtained on a large scale, it will undoubtedly expand the comprehensive strength of the entire earth civilization at the fastest speed.
Take the most important ecological planetary resources as an example. The top natural ecological resources suitable for the survival and development of the earth's civilization are one of the most scarce and precious resources in the entire universe, and for many low-level indigenous civilizations, there are often only one or two civilizations, even for those interstellar civilizations that are slightly higher-level, it is also the most core civilization strategic asset.
Civilization strategic resources of this grade are the most precious and cherished core civilization assets for any civilization, and it is impossible to give them up easily.
Just like the former Han Empire, everything can be given up, and the emperor can be exchanged one after another, but the land, especially the plain area suitable for cultivating and reproducing the population, is the core asset of the whole country, even if the dynasty is changed, the entire dynasty is overthrown, it is impossible to give up to foreign races, once the Central Plains land in the core of civilization is seized by the enemy, it will immediately be the overthrow of Shenzhou, unimaginable civilization changes.
This kind of thing, extended to the era of interstellar civilization, is also a truth. The natural ecological planets that are the most suitable for survival and have the most development potential are rare core assets for any civilization, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to trade them.
Similar to this kind of precious resources, if you want to obtain them, there are undoubtedly only three ways to do it, either you can find it yourself, or you can grab it from other civilizations, or you can exchange things from other civilizations, that is, conventional commercial trade methods.
If you want to find it yourself, this method is definitely the most conventional practice of most low-level civilizations, and the interstellar exploration fleets in the meteorite star sea, in addition to exploring new navigation routes and new trade routes all over the world, the most important goal is to pursue various planetary resources with development potential.
For most Starfleets, what allows them to tolerate the endless loneliness and danger of the interstellar environment is undoubtedly the huge benefit of finding various planetary resources with potential for development.
Whether it is a natural primitive indigenous civilization star, or a top natural ecological star, or a life star with only a primary life form, or even just a modifiable star with potential transformation value, for an exploration fleet, if you can find one, it is almost a good thing like **** luck, do a vote, and you don't have to work again for the rest of your life.
It's just a similar good thing, the chance of success is simply too small, some civilizations send a dozen exploration fleets to spend hundreds of years, spend countless investments, and can't find a slightly better planet, which shows how low the probability is.
With the population, resources, and situation of the earth's civilization, a similar exploration fleet must also be developed, but if you want to rely on this method to solve the territorial problem of your own civilization expansion, it is undoubtedly unrealistic at all, and the land resources that can be used will only become a huge obstacle to limiting population growth and improving the comprehensive strength of civilization.
If it's not good, you can't find an ecological star that can expand the territory of civilization for hundreds of years and thousands of years, although this kind of unfortunate thing is not to say that there is a sky, but if you pull it casually in the entire meteorite star sea civilization circle, it is also everywhere, and the unlucky ones grab a lot of them.
With the development prospects of the earth's civilization, this kind of thing must be unbearable, so we must find other reliable methods.
For the average civilization, if they encounter a similar problem. There's always a one-size-fits-all solution. That's the one who robbed him!
Whether it's robbing their neighbors. It's normal to rob other weak civilizations.
As far as Sima Mulong knows, this meteorite Xinghai civilization circle, although the civilization system is incomparably huge, contains a huge number of complex civilization system ecology, and countless civilization individuals live here, but, on the whole. In fact, this huge civilization system does not have a very complete and orderly civilization order.
The order here is still relatively chaotic and vague in nature, and there is no unified consensus that all civilizations accept and agree on...... Basically, it is still in the stage where whoever is strong has a loud voice.
The reason why this is so is because in this civilization circle, there is no one who really says the same, unifies the entire civilization system, and establishes an immortal order.
Because of how strong they are. And the surrounding interstellar environment is complex, and from time to time it is in the zone of new exploration of civilization. You can discover a new interstellar civilization, and even have a history of discovering other overlord-level civilizations, so, in fact, the overall environment of this civilization circle is a chaotic civilization world with strong openness, extremely rough order, and generally follows the rules of the jungle.
The reason for the formation of such a state of interstellar environment is largely due to the special interstellar environment here.
The meteorite star sea civilization circle, the area is extremely vast, in the middle is an incomparably huge area of a meteorite sea, the radius is millions of light years huge, it is a huge galaxy system, but the development of this big galaxy is a little weird, the class seems to have experienced a violent cosmic catastrophe in general, the structure of the entire galaxy has completely collapsed, countless stars in the galaxy are rampage everywhere, all kinds of cosmic disasters emerge in endlessly, dense meteorite belts one after another, is a huge division zone, with this big galaxy as the center, the huge civilization circle that should have been one, is divided into several pieces, between the various civilization blocks, not only far away, but also the trade road is rugged, from time to time due to various cosmic astral disasters and cut off contact.
Therefore, in the case of this kind of large civilization circle occasionally contacting, but in fact, each of them is developing in a closed way and constantly expanding the civilization space, there is no main civilization that can suppress all civilizations, and it is strange that the order in the meteorite star sea is not chaotic.
Anyway, this world is so big, no one can cover the sky with one hand, and no civilization acts as a civilization police, in the interstellar environment is extremely open, once necessary, even the entire civilization can run away, and the pattern of war between various civilizations at will, both competition and cooperation with each other, both war and exchange, is normal.
In fact, what Sima Mulong had discovered before, the huge civilization circle that included the three major hegemon-level civilizations, the eight small hegemon-level civilizations, and thousands of galactic civilizations, was actually just a narrow meteorite star sea civilization circle, in fact, it was essentially only a part of the meteorite star sea civilization circle, and it was a civilization block that temporarily interrupted the trade with other civilization blocks, because the degree of civilization exploration was far from enough to completely depict and light up the star map within the known range, and there were countless " Because of the existence of the fog of war and the "unknown environment of the interstellar environment", the strategic pattern in this narrow sense of the meteorite star sea civilization circle is far from reaching the point where a unified order can be formed.
It is said that in this case, the earth civilization chooses to go to war with the surrounding civilizations, and grabs him for which planet it fancy, which is also a way of behavior that conforms to the common practice, although it is an eye-catching guy and is not well known to most civilizations, but the earth civilization does not need to worry about being beaten by the periphery, and it is not necessary to hurt people's character or anything.
It's just that this kind of expansion method that ordinary civilizations are accustomed to adopting is really a bit unsuitable for the earth civilization.
Because, the earth civilization is not an ordinary silk civilization, except for arms, there is nothing in the hand that can make others look at it and win respect, and if you want to expand your power, you can only rely on guns.
Some of the earth's civilizations are high value-added things, and some are things that other civilizations dream of and dream of.
Robbing this thing, of course, is an unspoken rule of the Meteorite Star Sea, and everyone loves to do it when they don't have enough money, but, after all, in the final analysis, this is a very tasteless behavior, and it can't be upgraded at all.
For example, the three overlord civilizations, the eight little overlord civilizations, the first-rate and second-rate civilizations, are all dominated by cutting-edge manufacturing and high-end manufacturing capabilities that are well-known in the sea of stars.
The general civilization wants to take this path, but unfortunately the threshold is too high, the level of science and technology is not reached, and you can't make this money if you want to, so you have no choice but to rely on hard work.
The earth civilization does not have this problem, it has the civilization heritage of the vicissitudes of civilization, and it only needs to absorb and digest as much as possible, and learn the ability in its hands, so that there is no need to worry about no fist products, and with this advantage, there is no need to rely on robbery to make a living.
What's more, engaging in war and aggression is certainly a good means for ordinary civilization to make a fortune, but war together, hurting 1,000 people and causing 800 self-losses, the consumption of population, materials, etc. is also not small, and there is a possibility of being destroyed if you are not careful.
And once the manufacturing industry is strong, in this interstellar era, it undoubtedly means that the force is strong, the combat power is bursting, and no matter how greedy people look at you, they will not dare to do it with you.
There are so many benefits to engaging in the route of manufacturing and doing business, of course the earth civilization has to take this road, no matter how many civilizations want to take this road, the earth civilization will certainly not go astray to make a living by robbery.
And a civilization, once it has super manufacturing capacity and hard pass commodities that are in short supply, then there is no doubt that it will have super profitability, there will be more choices, and more civilizations will be willing to cooperate with it.
At this level, commodities of this grade similar to the top natural ecological star, although they are still precious and rare, are no longer something that can be encountered but not sought.
After all, for interstellar civilizations, although ecological stars are valuable, there are always three or five or even a dozen or so in a civilization, and occasionally there is an extra one that is not used, and it is normal to sell it on the market. (To be continued.) )
