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

Damn it, I'm not wearing any underwear! None of you are wearing underwear! Do you Ziyun people know what underwear is? !

No matter how well-educated Lu Xinghe was, his face was still slightly red at this moment. The top brass of the human fleet who came with him all had pale faces, with red in the blue, full of anger after being humiliated.

Seemingly sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere, the extremely delicate Ziyun man said quickly: "I'm sorry, I definitely didn't mean to humiliate your civilization's artistic accomplishments. I was just saying... human aesthetics, culture, and art have already It has reached a very high level, but there is just a little missing. As long as this is made up, everything will be..."

Lu Xinghe said solemnly: "We respect the cultural differences between different civilizations."

This is an extremely severe accusation.

God is missing something! I asked you Ziyun people why you are so weird and unnatural every time you meet us humans. It turns out you think we don’t even wear underwear!

This is humiliating! This is a shame!

Being criticized by Lu Xinghe, the extremely delicate Ziyun man seemed a little flustered: "Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean that, we just said..."

"No need to say it!"

Lu Xinghe stood up directly, and all the fleet executives next to him also stood up: "It's getting late, this is the end of this meeting, we should also prepare to return. Goodbye!"

Lu Xinghe and his group walked away. Yue Lun and his party sent the humans away apologetically. They turned around and looked at the equipment specially customized for humans to tattoo their cheeks, and sighed deeply.

It seems that the journey to transform human aesthetics still has a long way to go...

Originally there was no need for this. After all, there are so many civilizations in the Milky Way, and it is impossible for every civilization to follow its own aesthetics.

But unfortunately, the appearance of human beings is so consistent with one's own aesthetics, and the culture and art are also so consistent. Just missing that one point is like an extra stain on a beautiful piece of art. This is for any art lover They are all intolerable and extremely awkward.

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, this shortcoming is enough to drive the obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.

Originally, this was nothing. At worst, the two parties would see each other again and there would be no further connection.

But unfortunately, Ziyun Galaxy and the solar system are so close - less than 800 light years away, they can almost be said to be neighbors.

And through this joint mission and through the performance of human beings, the leaders of Ziyun Civilization have confirmed that human beings are a friendly, reliable, and extremely outstanding civilization.

Such a civilization is almost a natural ally candidate in this dark universe.

The alliance between the two parties is in the interest of either party.

The world is so difficult and it is extremely difficult to maintain civilization. Both parties support each other and each can live a better life.

The leaders of Ziyun Civilization judged that the human side must have a similar judgment.

In this way, it is almost inevitable that the two civilizations will unite.

So, under the premise that both parties are destined to join forces, the "shortcoming" in human beings cannot be ignored.

I have to find a way to solve it...

After the first contact failed, Yue Lun sighed deeply.

Next to him, an adjutant consoled him: "You don't need to worry too much. As long as we keep in contact for a long time, humans will one day accept our aesthetics."

Culture and art have a natural attraction for intelligent life. The adjutant is absolutely certain that his own civilization has gone further than humans in culture and art.

Yue Lun sighed again: "I hope so."

With some regret, the Ziyun Fleet contacted the fifth-level civilized space carrier to transport its own fleet. After bidding farewell to the human fleet, it disappeared from this star system.

Lu Xinghe also contacted the space carrier of the Luotu civilization. With a little anger and the joy of successfully completing the mission and receiving a large amount of silver coins, he also disappeared from this star system.

Since then, only large numbers of stone beast corpses have been left in the cosmic space around this star system.

From beginning to end, that primitive civilization did not notice any abnormalities.

Perhaps they will also discover the remains of these battles after a long time, and thus have many doubts. But it doesn’t matter. After a civilization is promoted to the second-level civilization stage, the Silver Alliance patrol fleet will take the initiative to come to their door and deliver them a long-distance communication equipment terminal, which can carry out limited communication with the Silver Alliance.

Of course, if there are other second-level civilizations nearby that can communicate with the Silver Alliance, the Silver Alliance will not send them anymore.

By then, they will know that this universe is not as peaceful and dead as they previously expected.

The return of the Lu Xinghe Fleet was warmly welcomed by the people. At this moment, this mission finally passed the Yinmeng acceptance.

Yinmeng Communication Network, under the human civilization account, the assets are finally no longer zero, but 70.

But the good times didn't last long. Before the money could be used, a reminder letter from Luo Tu Wenming was sent. At least at this stage, human civilization does not dare to offend Luo Tu Civilization, a fifth-level civilization.

Not to mention whether the Luotu civilization will be harmful to mankind, in terms of interstellar transportation alone, because the other five-level civilizations are too far away from the solar system, transporting the human fleet will still have to travel a long distance, and the freight charges will be higher, so people will I don't dare to upset those Luotu people.

If it secretly causes harm to humans, deliberately delays transportation, etc., humans will feel uncomfortable.

There was no other way. With the approval of the ruling committee, the Interstellar Assets Management Bureau had no choice but to pay 58.52 silver coins to the Luotu civilization, leaving humanity with only 11.48 silver coins.

But it doesn't matter, humans will soon have the rest.

This mission, including the round trip, took a total of more than ten years. When he came back this time, Lu Xinghe could clearly notice that the entire civilization seemed a little different from before.

Except for planets that are under key protection, almost every planet is undergoing major construction tasks.

In the solar system alone, there are asteroids in the asteroid belt, several satellites of gas planets, dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt, etc., and thousands of huge construction sites are under construction.

This is still within the solar system. The rest, dozens of star systems directly controlled by human civilization, as long as the environment is not too bad and the resources are slightly rich, have all begun huge construction tasks.

"The construction tasks of our solar system and jurisdiction are relatively small, only about a thousand. The construction tasks of the other three civilizations are called big."

A colleague told Lu Xinghe with some emotion: "For example, the Yuanshan Civilization has more than 5000 large mineral bases under construction. The least Motan Civilization has more than , all of which produce high-purity minerals. Almost It is said that the entire civilization’s energy is focused on these projects.”

"so much……"

"Yes, the price of natural resources is too low, so we can only make money by relying on quantity."

The colleague sighed: "Ordinary third-level civilizations don't have many ways to make money in the silver alliance system. Although selling natural resources is less money and cumbersome, it is simpler and the money is stable.

If an ordinary third-level civilization wants to earn enough security fees during the protection period, almost most of the social forces have to invest in mining, and the military forces have to work hard to complete the task. Under such circumstances, where do you still have the energy to develop yourself?

In comparison, we humans are pretty good. At least we can transfer most of the mining tasks to those three civilizations, and we can save energy to develop technology and pursue our own development. "

Lu Xinghe couldn't help but sigh.

This is indeed the good fortune of human civilization. But even this kind of luck is only due to a bug, and I don’t know when it will disappear.

If human beings were just an ordinary third-level civilization, I don’t know how worried they would be at this moment. As a last resort, we may have no choice but to betray the interests of civilization and give up our independent status in exchange for survival.

"Those three civilizations...have no objections, right?"

"What objection could they have?"

Colleagues sneered at this: "They relied on our assistance to become a third-level civilization. They are inherently deficient and have an unstable foundation. They are simply not equipped to develop and apply technology under the framework of the unified force theory."

Now we use human currency to settle minerals with them, and they can use human currency to buy scientific and technological materials and technological artifacts from us. In essence, they are using cheap, low-tech labor in exchange for our scientific data, which just makes up for it. It overcomes their lack of R&D capabilities and gets the best of both worlds. "

Lu Xinghe sighed again.

He felt that there were actually some similarities between the model of the Sun Alliance and the Silver Alliance.

It's just that the human rule model is more kind and friendly, while the Silver Alliance's model is too harsh.

It would not be bad if humans could stably obtain technology through cheap and low-tech repetitive labor. It's a pity that there is no such environment in the Silver Alliance...

"By the way, Pluto is very busy recently. What projects are you working on?"

"Oh, the Sun Alliance Biological Resources Expo, created by the Interstellar Commerce Department."

A colleague casually said: "The Interstellar Commerce Department plans to invite a group of potential customers to participate in an exhibition on Pluto. At that time, we will display the biological resources of the four civilizations and see if we can make some business and make some money. .”

Lu Xinghe nodded with deep sympathy: "Indeed, business still needs diversified development. Just relying on completing tasks and selling resources will bring in too little money too slowly. When will it be held?"

"It will be a few decades at the earliest. Contact and negotiation with at least millions of species of creatures and hundreds of civilizations, how can it be so easy?"

Hey, making money is hard...

Just when Lu Xinghe wanted to continue to inquire about what happened during this period, his secretary came over in a hurry: "Commander Lu, the ruling committee has informed you to attend an emergency meeting immediately."

"Okay." (End of chapter)
