Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

The first thing transmitted is a welcome message.

"Welcome to the Galaxy Alliance of Socially Intelligent Life!

The Alliance is committed to creating a safe and appropriate development environment for every social smart civilization, and is committed to peace and friendship, communication and cooperation, and elimination of misunderstandings among civilizations.

Your joining has lit up another brilliant light of civilization in this dark galaxy. On behalf of all alliance members, I would like to extend a warm welcome to your joining! "

The ruling members were silent and did not make any comment on this piece of information.

On the display screen, the welcome message gradually disappeared, and instead a huge interface appeared, occupying the entire screen.

The words on it have been translated into human words just like the first message. Then Han Yang saw that this seemed to be an organization setting interface.

The top layer is a line of large characters called Alliance of Social Intelligent Life in the Milky Way. Below it is the Galactic Center Area, the Second Area, the Third Area, the Ninth Area, and finally the Galactic Halo Area, a total of eleven areas.

Within each area, there are many sub-district units, such as the Naxos Star Territory, the Sky Star Territory, the Pegasus Star Territory, and so on.

In the fifth area, Han Yang saw the name of Yuanshan Star Territory.

Under each star field, there are many more specific names. At a glance, Han Yang found that there were tens of thousands of names. And...each name seems to represent a civilization!

Could it be that there are tens of thousands of civilizations that have reached level three or above in this galaxy? There are so many? And so many civilizations have been communicating with each other through this communication network for an unknown amount of time in the past, and an unknown amount of information has been transmitted, but human civilization has always known nothing about it?

And, if there are so many civilizations at level three or above, how many are there in number at level two or even level one?

The little galaxy is so prosperous?

After a slight pause, Han Yang realized that he had some misunderstandings.

Not each of those names represents a civilization, but only an institution.

For example, XX Civilization External Liaison Department, XX Civilization Business Center, XX Company Marketing Department, XX Bank External Liaison Department, etc.

After a rough calculation, Han Yang found that the total number of level three or above civilizations in the Silver Alliance was actually only more than 4000.

Most of them are level three civilizations, there are more than 800 level four civilizations, about a hundred level five civilizations, and five level six civilizations.

No matter how high the civilization is, it no longer exists.

However, there are a total of more than 4000 level three or above civilizations, which is also amazing. This means that the number of first- and second-level civilizations in the galaxy is at least ten times this number. The number of living planets without the birth of intelligent life may be even greater.

Before he could recover from the shock, Han Yang saw a large amount of information pouring over the icon representing news.

"Dear human civilization, hello, we are a blue civilization. First of all, welcome your civilization to join. Your joining will definitely add a touch of brilliance to the alliance.

Our blue civilization is a friendly civilization with a long history. In the long-term development, through our own efforts and the protection of the alliance, we have finally developed to the fourth-level civilization stage.

We have a very deep understanding of the difficulties of developing low-level civilizations. Therefore, we are also very happy to provide some help to the low-level civilizations that have just joined the alliance.

If your civilization needs it, we'll be happy to provide you with a loan to help your civilization get through the primary stage as quickly as possible. The interest rate can be the lowest for you. We are very eager to cooperate with an excellent civilization like you. "

The sender of the message is an account named "Blue Civilization External Cooperation Department".

The ruling members looked at each other.

loan? Human currency or the currency of your blue civilization? What can I buy?

The most critical question is, can loans be made between different civilizations in the Silver Alliance?

After some low-spirited discussion, the ruling committee members unanimously decided not to reply for the time being.

The second message is opened.

"Warmly welcome the joining of human civilization! Your joining has once again injected fresh blood into the alliance!

Hello, we are Pegasus United Bank. Our bank was jointly funded and established by five civilizations in the Pegasus Star Territory, including two fourth-level civilizations with strong strength.

Our bank is committed to helping low-level civilizations develop and provides a series of financial support programs for low-level civilizations.

We are happy to provide you with a low-interest, long-term loan of 1 million silver coins. If you need it, we can also sell you complete sets and individual industrial facilities of various technological levels at extremely favorable prices. If you want to become a level four civilization as soon as possible, we can also sell the complete set of theoretical data and derivation process of The Theory of Everything. "

silver? Industrial facilities of various technological levels? The complete set of data for The Theory of Everything?

Han Yang was shocked.

What is this all about?

Looking at the third message again, it is no surprise that it is still a message to promote loans. The fourth message directly sent a cargo list, which included a complete set of protium fusion devices and technologies rated 3.3, no-refrigerant engine technology rated 3.4, energy cannon technology rated 3.3, etc., etc., with prices starting from Prices range from 10 silver coins to 1000 million silver coins.

Loan information is thoughtfully attached at the end, claiming that it can provide a low-interest loan of up to 2 million silver coins. If you borrow from here, you can also get a 5% discount on the price of the aforementioned goods.

The following messages were all similar, there were hundreds of them, all of them were about loans or selling products, which was an eye-opener for Han Yang. The most egregious piece of news came from a level five civilization that called itself Luotu Civilization. This civilization claims to be able to sell all scientific and technological data from level three to level five civilizations, and can guide humans all the way to level five civilization, and the price is extremely favorable. The price only requires the human civilization to accept the Rotu Civilization's garrison and sign a letter to join the Rotu Civilization. Just an agreement.

For a moment, Han Yang thought that he had not joined the Silver Alliance, but had come to the mall.

After studying in front of the communication terminal for several days, the ruling committee members figured out something.

The common currency in the galaxy is silver coins. Of course, this is not a currency made of silver, but the abbreviation of "the common currency of the Milky Way Alliance of Socially Intelligent Life".

This currency is jointly issued by the five major sixth-level civilizations, the founders of the Silver Alliance, and is backed by the technology and strength of the sixth-level civilizations.

These five major and sixth-level civilizations also provide goods or services to the entire alliance, and these goods or services are uniformly priced in silver coins.

As long as there are enough silver coins, even a small third-level civilization can let a sixth-level civilization serve itself.

For example, to transport a star with the mass of the sun 100 light-years, a level civilization would charge million silver coins.

It costs 100 million silver coins to completely transform the ecological environment of a planet with level-6 civilization technology.

Using level-100 civilization technology, a customized genetic modification is performed for a certain intelligent life, so that it will have a longer life and a smarter brain, for a fee of million silver coins.

Of this, 99.5 silver coins are customization and research and development costs, and only 5000 silver coins are labor and material costs.

As long as there are enough silver coins, a civilization can get almost everything it wants in the galaxy.

There are also many ways to obtain silver coins.

For example, the Silver Alliance will issue many tasks in the name of the alliance, such as exploring unknown star fields and exterminating some strange life forms. There are also many secondary alliances or civilizations that will issue their own tasks. Some interstellar projects require certain resources and materials. such as.

When certain civilizations encounter disasters that they cannot resist, they may issue tasks and use silver coins as rewards to bring in external forces to help them solve the problem.

What is more common is to sell technological creations or achievements of one's own civilization, as well as technological data, or provide loans through financial means to collect interest, invest in some huge interstellar projects, operate some cross-civilization companies, etc.

Yes. In the Silver Alliance, the sale of technological data is extremely common, and almost every civilization has similar businesses.

Han Yang saw that except for the "unification force" theory that determines whether a civilization can be promoted to a third-level civilization, there is no civilization for sale - after all, those who can actually join the Silver Alliance are third-level civilizations and have already mastered this. In theory, no one will buy it.

There are many civilizations selling the universal theory that determines whether a civilization becomes a level four civilization and the "hidden force" theory that determines whether a civilization becomes a level five civilization.

This kind of theory that determines the level of civilization is for sale, not to mention smaller technological data, such as certain engineering technologies, electronic technologies, etc.

"Shouldn't every civilization treat this level of scientific and technological data as a treasure and strictly block it and never let it out? After all, this is important data that determines what level a civilization is at? Why are all these civilizations selling?"

Han Yang was a little confused at first. But the next moment, he immediately understood.

Just like he supported the theory of unified force to the three major civilizations in the Sun Star Domain, helping them become level three civilizations, but it greatly destroyed their technological development potential and made them completely under his control. It is very possible that, These civilizations selling critical scientific data have the same idea!

In this way, they are even destroying the technological development potential of potential competitors.

A civilization that relies on buying data to advance to level 4 and a civilization that relies on its own development to level 4 will obviously not have the same overall strength and development potential.

In fact, the former has no chance of catching up with the latter!

However, for the former, just like myself at this moment, facing the key scientific data and universal theory that I originally dreamed of, and I don’t know how long it will take to develop, can I withstand the temptation?

Even if they know that this is a trap with extremely dangerous hidden dangers, how many civilizations can stick to their true intentions?

In this way, the first-mover civilization not only earned a large amount of silver coins by selling data, but also solved potential competitors and reduced the competition it may encounter.

There are currently nearly a thousand fourth- and fifth-level civilizations in the Silver Alliance, and I don’t know how many have been promoted by buying data.

but……

Han Yang suddenly noticed something extremely important.

This method of achieving civilization promotion by buying data is extremely harmful to ordinary civilizations, and may even lead to the complete loss of potential.

But, for me, it seems that there is no harm! (End of chapter)
