Sang Ning then asked, "So, the Biological Research Center will be coming?"
"They will definitely come, but not now."
Recalling the usual practices of the survival show crew, Emmanuel said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the crew will only release the detailed coordinates to the biological research center after the show ends."
"The coordinates will not be given until the program ends."
Yes, in previous survival shows, they also discovered unknown creatures not recorded in biological or botanical encyclopedias. The production team only provided the coordinates after the show ended.
Actually, it's better not to give out coordinates. Once intelligent life sets foot on a barren planet, it will eventually be included in the development list by the centralized center and become one of the planets to be developed.
However, the number of habitable planets in the Mokaz universe is already too large for intelligent life to sustain, so there's really no need to keep developing them and destroying their original ecosystems.
[Don't worry about what I'm saying. The centralized power needs to conduct a lot of research to fully develop a pristine, undeveloped planet. From being added to the development list to the finalization of development, the timeline will take at least 20 years.]
In fact, many more small planets are auctioned off and become privately owned; this kind of development is actually better.
Sang Ning's eyes lit up instantly, "What are the conditions for auctioning a habitable planet?"
"First, you need to have enough assets."
"Secondly, a series of agreements need to be signed, such as which locations can be developed, which locations must remain in their original state, and the species on them cannot be easily destroyed, etc. The procedures are very complicated."
"Most importantly, rich people like to hoard planets as their own vacation backyards, which means that even if you meet the asset requirements, your assets may not even be enough to bid once at an auction."
"Because the competition is too fierce, and the Moykaz universe is full of rich people."
Sang Ning responded with an "oh," and then asked with considerable interest, "Just how much is this 'assets' exactly?"
"this."
Clyde stretched out his hand and waved it. Sang Ning hesitated and asked, "Five hundred million?"
"Add two more zeros."
Clyde chuckled, “Five hundred million seems like a lot, but it’s not even a fraction of what you need to develop your own private planet.”
"Let me put it this way, to the best of my knowledge, a planet with a total area of only over forty square kilometers cost more than 60 billion from the time it was successfully auctioned to the time it was fully developed."
Sang Ning stared in disbelief, "So expensive?"
Forty-odd square kilometers is quite an area; if you convert it to mu (a Chinese unit of area, approximately 60,000 acres), it's roughly equivalent to 60,000 mu.
But as Philoia mentioned earlier, even if a planet belongs to you alone, it doesn't mean you can develop it all.
In other words, a portion of these 60,000 mu of land cannot be developed, which means that if half of the area can be developed, that would be considered a lot.
After all, you can't develop the entire planet into bustling cities; natural landscapes like lakes, mountains, and oceans must be preserved.
And over 60 billion? Good heavens, that's more than she could ever earn in her lifetime.
"Yes, it's that expensive, so everyone who can participate in the planetary auction is rich."
Clyde chuckled and nodded. "Anyway, I'll never own my own private planet in this lifetime."
No, you still have hope. As long as you can survive on this desolate planet and win the final victory, a habitable planet will be yours.
[This is going to be tough. None of them are easy. We can eliminate Suning first. Just Emmanuel and Elliott, those two strong fighters, are already a handful. I don't think Clyde has the ability to eliminate them both and achieve final victory.]
[To the person upstairs: I don't understand why you eliminated Sang Ning? She was absolutely confident and certain of her victory.]
There are too many uncontrollable factors surrounding Sang Ning. I suspect the person upstairs ruled her out for this reason, most likely.
Yes, I don't think Sang Ning is a good candidate, and I'm also worried about being proven wrong if I make any comments.
Therefore, for the sake of my reputation, I'd better exclude her.
I don't think it's surprising that Sang Ning won the final victory, obtained the huge prize money and that habitable star.
After all, she has always had an inexplicable confidence in her abilities, and based on her performance over the past few months, she has indeed shown some promise.
I'm not surprised that I was eliminated.
After all, her genes weren't advantageous at all; her status as a primitive human was a major disadvantage. Even though she was ultimately eliminated in a competition against a group of elite contestants, she still deserves credit for her defeat.
How about we set up a betting pool and wager on whether Sang Ning can reach the finish line?
"Gambling is illegal."
Sang Ning continued, "Openly running a gambling den is an even more serious crime than knowingly breaking the law."
"Of course, if you're not worried about being forced to drink free nutrient solutions, then you can disregard what I said."
The audience was almost numb with frustration. If Sang Ning dared to claim first place in ruining the atmosphere, no one would dare to be second.
Their gambling naturally wouldn't involve money; it was more like a joke.
But seeing Sang Ning's serious expression, the audience didn't even have the desire to explain.
That's fine, let her do whatever she wants.
They've stopped gambling!
"The people of planet E72 don't gamble?"
Mu Tao asked curiously, and Sang Ning rolled her eyes in response, "Your question is so tactless. When people are struggling to survive, do you think the people of planet E72 have the leisure to gamble?"
Mu Tao chuckled awkwardly, "We really don't have that."
Sang Ning hummed in agreement. "Even if we had the money, we wouldn't gamble with it. Everyone is so poor that they don't have the funds to gamble. We can't use sandworms as gambling stakes."
"Actually, it's not impossible. After all, you said that sandworms are edible and are one of your main foods."
Clyde said something, and Sanning replied, "Believe me, nobody likes sandworms on planet E72. Even though they're edible and one of our main foods, people still don't have a good impression of them."
I'm really tired of seeing sand worms. It's really a test of one's mental fortitude to face those incredibly ugly, ferocious, and man-eating sand worms every day.
It's true, the reason why the people on planet E72 don't suffer from mental illness is because they have strong stress resistance.
Anyone else would probably break down in no time.
After all, sandworms are truly ferocious, and they appear in swarms.
If you spot a sandworm while hunting it, congratulations! You're now surrounded by sandworms.
Every year, many people die from the sandworms' sharp mouthparts and venom. Therefore, the people of planet E72 deeply hate the sandworms and wish they could wipe them all out, but that is too difficult.
Thinking about the sandworms' reproductive capabilities, Sang Ning wanted to sigh.
She said, "Why do sandworms exist in this world?"
I'll be updating again at midnight tomorrow, goodnight everyone!
