In the absence of faster-than-light spacecraft to guard the satellite, although these robbed civilizations have a relatively high degree of development and relatively comprehensive planetary defense facilities, they are also defenseless in the face of these civilizations that come to rob and plunder with faster-than-light spaceships on the earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, for most planets, the number of sub-light spaceships, as a conventional planetary military force, is usually relatively limited, and they are usually not stationed together, so that the effect that sporadic combat forces can play in the face of this sudden attack of faster-than-light ships is not worth mentioning at all.

But then again, the defense systems equipped with the defense systems of these civilizations are not prepared to defend against faster-than-light spaceships, but only to defend against meteorites and seas of interstellar pirates, and some ordinary, interstellar disasters such as meteorite attacks, which are powerless in the face of faster-than-light spaceship attacks, which is originally a very normal thing.

After all, if you really want to build a conventional defense system that can defend against faster-than-light spaceships, there are tens of thousands of heavily armed and all-weather sub-light spaceships, planetary defense systems with a high degree of intelligent integration, and space machine mines that are densely woven in space. Camouflage meteorite strike base or something, that is the same can not be saved, its material consumption is huge, manpower and material resources are consumed, and the construction cost is high, all of which are unimaginable numbers, few civilizations can complete such a huge planetary defense system on every planet, and even if a similar defense system is built, just to maintain the operation of the system, every year people eat and chew, all aspects of consumption, Supplies, I'm afraid, are far beyond the profit balance that a planet can produce each year, which means that an entire planet works desperately from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and usually can't support such consumption.

I can't afford to use it, but I can imagine how many planets will build such a planetary defense system, someone will do the business of killing heads, no one will do the business of losing money, which civilization will have a huge amount of money, and build such a defense system on one planet after another that can't even return to the capital?

Perhaps some planets in core areas with abundant funds and resources can enjoy such security level treatment, but those relatively remote and backward marginal planets obviously cannot enjoy such treatment anyway.

In this way, these planets cannot stop the attack of faster-than-light ships, which is naturally a normal thing, and it is not surprising at all.

In fact, it is precisely for this reason that those interstellar pirates pretending to be civilized armies will stab on these weakly defended planets, after all, people travel thousands of miles and drive superluminal spaceships to come, originally to make a fortune, naturally they have to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, and it is impossible to bite those hard-to-bite planets with strong defense and strong firepower.

And the weak planet, which is neither protected by a faster-than-light spaceship nor covered by a complete planetary defense system, is naturally attacked lightly and reduced to a miserable planet that has been looted on a large scale.

What's even more tragic is that in the absence of faster-than-light spaceships stationed, as civilizations that cannot produce faster-than-light spaceships on their own, their marginal planets are usually rarely equipped with faster-than-light communication systems. It usually takes at least a few years to transfer to the core center of civilization, and a long few years is long enough for these foreign civilizations to ransack the entire planet several times.

And the fact is that in the meteorite star sea, when these foreign armies broke the defense and completely occupied an overwhelming advantage, there was actually a tacit negotiation method and material scraping mode between the planetary government and the foreign raiders.

On the one hand, the two sides of the robbery and the robbery are in order to obtain a sufficient amount of resources, population, equipment, technology, etc. as soon as possible, so as to move out of the scene in the shortest possible time and ensure their own safety. When you don't know the specific situation inside the planet, you are naturally willing to save a lot of trouble and conduct a frank and direct blackmail negotiation with the planetary government, and through the planetary government's conscious and voluntary collection of materials and high-quality population, you can achieve your own goal of making a lot of money through robbery.

On the other hand, in order to avoid the bloodiest purges and massacres, they are naturally willing to satisfy the appetite of the other party as much as possible and provide sufficient amount of ransom materials, so as to avoid a terrible catastrophe that will actually occur, endangering the lives of all people on the entire planet.

As long as the two can reach a consensus, they will usually solve the problem in a relatively peaceful situation, on the one hand, take the money and leave, and on the other hand, avoid disasters.

Only when the two sides are completely incompatible, will the spaceships of these alien civilizations be completely cleaned, destroyed and slaughtered, and after destroying all the security and defense facilities on the planet as much as possible, they will collect all valuable resources, population, and technical equipment in the ruins.

This kind of work, not to mention how bloody and rebellious it is, just to loot the warehouse bit by bit, to loot the resources in the hands of individuals, is an extremely difficult and troublesome thing, usually speaking, it is really not as good as the final profit through direct negotiations with the planetary government.

After all, as outsiders, these alien civilizations drove faster-than-light spaceships from afar, and their own crew members were not much, and the number of strongholds facing hidden resources was too huge, and the efficiency of searching by themselves little by little was actually not high at all.

On the contrary, once the planetary government has negotiated and determined the amount of redemption resources, it can raise the most resources in the shortest possible time through the all-encompassing planetary management network.

Of course, although the planetary government has a strong ability to gather resources, you should not expect people to throw out a sum of resources and buy you pirates to leave as soon as possible.

In fact, in the meteorite star sea, the raiders and the looted have been playing for many years, and the other party has long known what kind of humanity each side has.

Even if the planetary government can collect a sufficient amount of resources in the shortest possible time, it is impossible to take out all the brains, and people have to wait for the armed forces of their civilization to come to the rescue, otherwise, they will take out everything in one swipe, what if the pirates regret it?

When the pirates saw that you were so sharp and so powerful, the first thing they thought of was definitely not to settle in the bag and escape early to ensure their own safety.

When the pirate has enough time, the first thing he thinks about is how much I have gained, and I should be content! On the contrary, he will only see that you can easily come up with such a huge amount of resources, is the amount of money I extorted this time too small? Is it far from draining the oil and water of this planet?

At this time, you expect the pirate to act according to the contract, and it is obviously impossible to get out of the way, the easier it is to squeeze out a large amount of oil and water, the more he will not know how to be satisfied, and he has to regret it over and over again, and squeeze out as much oil and water as possible, and in the end, it is still a trivial matter for the whole planet to be squeezed dry, maybe it will be raised by the insatiable pirate's thought, but it will completely slaughter the stars and plunder it...... Not only has this happened before, but I don't know how many times it has happened, and the robbed planet has already learned to behave and will delay as much time as possible.

Therefore, after countless years of games between the raiders and the looted in the meteorite star sea, now in order to avoid trouble, but also for the interests and security of both parties, the ransom payment between the planetary government and the pirates is usually directly linked to time.

Pay a ransom every day, and if you are confident enough, pirates can sit on the ground and collect taxes until the land is desolate, provided that you have to deal with the counterattack of the opposing civilization. In the same way, if the planetary government is rich enough to hook out the pirate addiction, and really wait for its own reinforcements to arrive and calmly eliminate the pirates, it is equivalent to eliminating the pirates without a penny.

In short, this ransom transaction model not only tests the hard power of both sides, such as financial strength and force, but also tests the soft power of both sides, such as information intelligence and IQ.

And now, as the civilizations in the nearby star fields have attacked out, with the faster-than-light spaceships purchased from the Earth civilization, they have all made a lot of money in a short period of time, and even some civilizations have recovered the cost of purchasing spaceships from the Earth civilization.

And through the actual use of the faster-than-light spacecraft produced by the earth's civilization, these civilizations are deeply impressed by the strength of the earth's civilization.

The spaceship of the earth's civilization is not only extremely fast in the speed of light, but also has excellent performance, quality, and even stealth ability and long-range detection ability are extremely powerful.

For those planets that have unfortunately been robbed by these civilizations, it is already expected that the sub-light speed ships stationed in the defense are vulnerable, but what I never expected is that even in the comparison of the combat strength of the real superluminal spaceships, the ships of the earth civilization can often show amazing strength.

After all, the spacecraft has not been in hand for a long time, and the crew is usually not proficient in the performance operation of the spacecraft.

Although they had the courage to launch a robbery against those powerful civilizations, in fact, in terms of planning, these civilizations were very careful, generally accurately calculating the safety time, trying not to collide head-on with the invading civilization's faster-than-light spacecraft as much as possible, and leaving as much as possible to make a handful.

In this way, you can not only make a lot of money, but also be familiar with the performance and operation of the spaceship, and avoid direct combat with powerful civilizations, which is undoubtedly the most reasonable arrangement for many civilizations.

But the problem is that as a hillbilly civilization born in a remote star field, many civilizations in the surrounding star fields have completely knelt down in front of the heroic hands of the opposing planet who spend money like water and pay a lot of ransom after attacking the planet of a strong civilization in the distance!

The ransom paid day by day was all the hardest, most scarce, and most valuable good things, such as the ultra-high-energy crystals born after the white dwarf star was broken, and the rare composite mineral deposits formed under the radiation crushing of neutron stars.

You must know that the purchase price of ordinary gold with a purity of seven or nine is only the price of 3 yuan per ton of earth coins for the earth civilization, and these fat and oily planets, the resources they are willing to pay for, if they are exchanged for earth coins, the value of the ransom every day can reach tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions! Such a huge harvest is tantamount to watching a big river of gold flowing every day, gushing gold into their pockets, and many civilized and happy people are almost stupid!

Just imagine, if this ransom can be collected normally, 100 million a day, 1 trillion in 30 years, it is comparable to some poor and backward civilizations for thousands of years, and the entire civilization has more income, and it will directly return to a faster-than-light spaceship of one and a half ships, how can people hold it?

Those weak-willed civilizations, in an instant, let this fat harvest be fascinated, see the sky and wait for the rent, to the expected safe time limit arrived, still reluctant to leave, just thinking about the ransom for an extra day, the enemy's faster-than-light spaceship has not yet come? Such a fat harvest, it makes people feel distressed to earn one day less, wait a little longer, stay one more day, and collect an extra day of ransom, but day after day, the faster-than-light spaceship fleet that was dragged to the other party's civilization rushed over, and as soon as the spacecraft radar detected the signal in the distance, it suddenly dawned on him, and he was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly prepared to flee.

If you don't escape, you can't do it, people know that the opponent is a faster-than-light spaceship, and the counterattack is also quite large, and a guy sent a team of faster-than-light spaceships, which is obviously a group fight, if you don't run, won't you die?

In fact, under normal circumstances, it has come to this situation, you can't run away if you want to, you found someone, and the other spaceship has already discovered you.

Unexpectedly, these civilizations fled in a hurry, only to find that their advantage was so great! They discovered the enemy, but the enemy had not yet discovered themselves, and they had all fled, and the enemy was still unaware.

This is a flight without a hard battle, and some civilizations simply fought hard with the pursuers, with one enemy, they all were captured, and calmly retreated! )
