Chapter 271 Taking the bait
Although Linchero is just a common man, doing a job with a monthly salary of 200 yuan, he doesn't just work 996 every day. Because of his body transformation, he doesn't need to sleep or eat, and he even works 23.5 hours a day!
But he does have civilization in his heart. He works hard for civilization. He hopes that his civilization can become a little stronger because of his work, and then have a little more advantage in the competition with other civilizations.
His civilization is called Roma civilization, level 2.4, and its previous pillar industries are industry, shipbuilding, and transportation.
But since joining the Star Alliance, their industry, shipbuilding, and transportation have no advantage over those more powerful second-level civilizations. After several rounds of competition, others were not affected, but their large companies went bankrupt.
It can't even be said to be competition. Others simply obeyed the trade rules and came in, and then trampled their pillar industries to death.
Now, the pillar industry of Roma civilization is black sunflower.
Black sunflower can enrich the metal in the garbage and then condense into a second-level metal called Xuanjin. This second-level metal is mostly used in force field generators, but it is not used much. Only a small section the size of a thumb is needed, weighing about 4.6 tons.
Originally, Roma had several fixed cooperative civilizations, and they lived well by refining Xuanjin with the Sun, but recently another civilization invented a method to refine Scale Gold.
Scale Gold is a substitute with better performance than Xuanjin, but it is a metal extracted from the scales of star beasts. It has never been synthesized artificially and has a very low output, so it has never posed a threat to Xuanjin.
But this civilization has a method to mass-produce Scale Gold, and the Xuanjin market of Roma civilization is immediately threatened.
Roma had to significantly reduce prices, but price reductions are not random. The company also has to transfer costs. Where should this part of the cost be transferred! ?
Naturally, it is transferred to farmers.
Therefore, Lin Cheluo's job at this time is to travel from one planet to another and sign new contracts with those interstellar farmers.
"Is this the life I want?" Back in the Thousand Star City, Lin Cheluo rubbed his shoulders and walked decadently on the street.
Their bodies have been transformed, and they are already immune to all diseases, and they will not be tired. Their lifespan is nearly ten thousand years long. Rubbing shoulders at this time is purely because of mental fatigue.
"I clearly want to make the lives of the people of the Roma civilization better, but now I have become an accomplice of those big companies!" Linchero doubted the meaning of his life. If he could not move forward according to his dream, then would a person really be alive?
Subconsciously, he remembered the speech of the mentor he saw in the group yesterday
Higher civilizations make thousands of times more profit by relying on technology, but only share one ten-thousandth, or even one hundred thousandth, of it with lower civilization workers and farmers who have made great contributions and risked shortening their lives and polluting their planets.
They said that this is because they put the same effort into researching technology, and technology is priceless, so their profits are reasonable.
But if this behavior is really reasonable, it should make everyone better, make the second-level civilization rich, grow into the third level, and make the Star Alliance stronger.
But in fact, only those third-level civilizations have grown stronger because of this behavior. Second-level and first-level civilizations are no longer civilizations in the entire system, but slaves. They have not enjoyed any sweetness in this reasonable process. They have just been losing, losing freedom, losing life, and losing hope of moving forward. We are not enemies, we are all members of the Star Alliance. In the face of behavior that damages the Star Alliance, we must stand up and tell everyone that this behavior is incorrect! This is not distribution at all, this is exploitation, this is not reasonable behavior, this is an excuse created for exploitation! He just complained a few words online, and then he was pulled into this group. In this group, he met many people who were as confused as himself, and also met many people who tried to solve these confusions. With everyone's learning and debate during this period, the facts began to become clearer and clearer, and confusion was becoming less and less. They began to realize where the problem was. At the beginning of the formulation of the Magna Carta of the Star Alliance, the founding members were all weak civilizations, growing cautiously in the midst of wolves, so all civilizations must unite, work together, and sacrifice their small families for everyone. You help me, I help you, this was the mainstream at that time. The protection of technology was also to promote the birth of more new technologies, so that everyone can upgrade as soon as possible and resist foreign aggression.
But now, with tens of thousands of years of expansion, the Star Alliance has become more and more powerful, and there are few enemies around. The enemies between civilizations are no longer the surrounding civilizations, but other members of the Star Alliance.
So, civilizations of the same level have become competitors, and low-level civilizations have become objects of exploitation. The Star Alliance Magna Carta is still there, but it has become a decoration.
Because the era when he founded it is not comparable to the present, the predecessors could not imagine how dark the hearts of the descendants of later generations are, and how many disgusting things they can do in order to obtain profits and squeeze the alliance.
Since these Star Alliance leaders do not act, then we must shoulder the responsibility of rectifying the chaos. Being suppressed and arrested is not terrible, but it proves that they are afraid and they are afraid!
It also proves that our path is feasible!
We must persist, fearless of hardships, and swear to die!
"However, the investigation is becoming more and more strict now. The instructor said that the senior leaders of the Star Alliance are cracking the Xuanji. When the Xuanji is also cracked, where should we go? Are we going to gather in reality? That is too dangerous!" Lin Chero does not want to meet in reality. He has a wife and children at home and a happy life.
He didn't want to leave this organization either. There were many talented people in this organization and they spoke well. They made him confused and gave birth to a new dream.
He also wants to change the world with everyone!
Wandering around, he came to Antiquities Street.
The more advanced technology is, the more orderly the world is, and the more developed the financial industry is, the more precious antiques are, especially in the sea of stars. From time to time, relics of civilizations that are thousands, tens of thousands, or even 100,000 years old can be dug up. , what comes out of it tends to shock people all year long.
Of course, if you are just shocked, the antique is not that precious.
In Interstellar, the most important role is not collection or research, but money laundering
I had a sum of money that came from some shady sources, such as I suddenly picked up a shipload of goods on my way back. Because I didn't register it, I could avoid taxes and make more money, but this money is so shameful!
What to do, then go sell an antique, and then use your own trumpet to buy it, and then delete the trumpet, and then the money will become fair and square!
Because all chambers of commerce are likely to turn into star thieves on the road, this behavior is quite common, and it has also led to a booming antique market. High-level businessmen use it to launder money, and low-level businessmen use it to hype and deceive fools!
"Boss, take a look?" someone greeted.
Lincero didn't want to look at it at first, but for some reason, he turned his head around, came to the stall, and picked up a bell.
This bell looks ordinary, only about the size of a thumb. The outer metal is ordinary copper, which is a little thick. The inner part is a C-shaped copper tongue.
It looked completely ordinary, but for some reason, Linccello fell in love with it at first sight.
"Boss, how do you sell this?" Lincero asked.
"Eh?" The boss was stunned. He sells things all day long, so of course he knows what he has.
He didn't remember that he had such a bell!
However, maybe some kid put it here when they were playing. Anyway, when it comes to your stall, it belongs to you.
"This was dug out by a team of us in a mysterious star field. After testing, it was found that this thing is at least one hundred thousand years old!" The boss said, and stretched out two fingers: "This number is worth it."
"Two yuan? Then, here it is for you!" Lin Chero said.
"What two yuan? I said two hundred thousand!" The boss was unhappy: "It's something from a hundred thousand years ago! You only give me two yuan?"
"Five yuan can't be more, you can sell it or not! If not, I'm leaving!" Lincero said impatiently.
"Hey, okay, just give me the money." The boss sighed, wondering if it was the stall's problem.
If I put it up for sale in a store, I might be able to sell it for 200 yuan!
After taking out the money and picking up the bell, Lincero looked up and down, feeling something was wrong.
"Microscope, 100,000 times!" After thinking about it, Lincero shouted.
The glasses immediately switched to the microscopic mode, and then Lincero saw clearly that the bell was actually densely engraved with words!
But the characters are too small to read clearly.
"Ten million times!" It has reached the limit of the optical microscope!
He also saw clearly what was written on it.
Well, a strange language, I don’t recognize a single word
"Verify the language!" Linqero said.
"No corresponding language detected!" Glasses replied.
"Huh?" Linqero was shocked. Although this glasses-shaped computer was produced by his own civilization and had low technological content, the database was downloaded from the Star Alliance.
The Star Alliance has been established for so many years and has seen countless civilizations. Even lost civilizations have dedicated scholars who study and record them and then upload the files!
In this case, he was able to discover a strange writing!
what does that mean?
Undiscovered civilizations, undiscovered ruins!
And, the opportunity for the rise of Loma civilization!
