Chapter 689 The era of great development!
"Ancient bloodline... can improve the race's value and change one's own bloodline..."
"Can the bones of ancient tribesmen be sold?"
"Rare animals and plants from the First Era... the prices seem quite reasonable." The square was bustling, as lively as a vegetable market.
This is normal. There are tens of thousands of civilizations in the Ruins of Buzhou. Even if each civilization only has ten kinds of goods on the shelves, the scale is still hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, after a war, some supplies may be in excess and cannot be used up by the owner, so it is better to sell them.
In addition, there are also price trends of commodities!
Just like stock trends, they constantly fluctuate around the value center.
As long as there is spiritual charm, regular materials such as black iron, mountain copper, and mithril can be purchased in large quantities!
Of course, they can also be sold in bulk here.
From a long-term perspective, the prices of non-renewable resources will slowly rise, while the prices of renewable resources will remain relatively stable.
However, occasionally there will be "mutual substitution of extraordinary materials" and large price fluctuations, which depends on the research strength and the smoothness of information. The trading market does not prohibit small-scale speculative activities.
There is a large material warehouse nearby, guarded by hundreds of advanced Zergs. Robots come and go, storing the goods in exquisite glass covers.
After all, the transportation of materials costs money. Even if the consumption is not much, it will be a huge expense over the years.
Only when the transaction is confirmed will it be transmitted through the Asgard.
In order to create these exhibition screens, Lanpeng Civilization put in a lot of effort.
Anyway, they are not developing anymore, and the human resources are just sitting there doing nothing but tinkering with these things.
The two even larger foggy spaces, the Northern Territory and the Ruins of Buzhou, are naturally the masterpieces completed by the turtle craftsman grandmaster Gui Lianzi and the alien craftsman Cosi.
The core function of the temple, "selling divine skills", is naturally indispensable, and a nice corner has been specially arranged for it.
Direct contact is not allowed between Buzhou Ruins and the Northern Territory, only listing of goods is allowed.
Moreover, goods such as weapons are not allowed to be put on the shelves for the time being. This is to maintain peace and stability in the North!
In addition, this cross-space trading market has little to do with Green City, that is, human civilization. The turnover is too large. Even if the commission is 1% or 2%, it exceeds the affordability of a fourth-level civilization.
Eat according to your ability.
The current human race is indeed not worthy of it! Even Comrade Old Cat, who cares the most about the development of mankind, thinks so. He privately complained to the aliens in the Asgard: "Alas, the wealth from this war is already an extremely huge fortune for mankind."
"Humanity's prestige and strength are not worthy of greater wealth."
"This cause and effect is too huge..."
"So it would be safer to let the alien support the foundation and be in charge of this matter..."
The people in the Asgard were all delighted: "We can finally influence the whole world again."
"Thank you Pangu Continent... Thank you Lu Yuan and the struggle of human civilization."
"No, don't take it lightly. This is only the first step in a long journey..." Even though the large crystal man said this, he was so excited in his heart that the crystals on the surface of his body fell off one by one.
Yes, unknowingly, the Extraordinary People Support Foundation founded by Lu Yuan has become a huge force.
Ancient insects, turtle people, strange people in the fairy palace, plus those few [demons], whether it is prestige, combat power, or wealth, it is enough to convince the surrounding civilizations!
Just like that, the first wave of transactions between the two parties officially began! There was a lot of noise and a large amount of goods were continuously transported to the warehouse of the temple.
The robots were busy, teleportation balls of light flashed up one after another, goods disappeared, and people were talking in a bustling manner.
Soon, a civilization came along and spent 1 spiritual energy to buy a piece of meat from an ancient race.
This piece of meat was as solid as reinforced concrete, with blood vessels faintly moving. It was soaked in nutrient solution and was preserved quite perfectly.
"Oh?" There was an exclamation at the scene.
It's a busy time like never before! High-quality, unique goods are easily available for sale and there is no shortage of buyers.
But raw materials without technical content may only be sold at a low price, or even not be sold at all... After all, everyone's money is not blown by the wind. Even if the civilization of Buzhou Ruins made a fortune from the war, it was earned at the cost of human lives! "Chief... what should we buy? I see those high-tech equipments are not expensive, and there are some obsolete production lines that can be used after some modifications..."
"My civilization's treasury is empty. I have to sell goods before I can make purchases. Well, wait."
The Snow Sheep Clan looked at the lively scene eagerly.
With some trepidation in their hearts, they transported 10 tons of woolen materials and put them for sale in the market.
There are quite a lot of competitors, like their old rival, the yaks, who are bigger in size, produce more hair, and have a larger population, so they can naturally engage in a price war.
[Please enter the price you want to sell.] The light ball in front of me made a prompt sound.
The old patriarch's fingers trembled as he entered a few numbers.
"Chief, can we sell it at this price? Isn't it a bit high?" The tribesmen were worried. Since humans left, their inventory of goods has been increasing and their lives are not good.
"Any lower would be a bargain."
"Don't worry, the research and development funds we invested will not be wasted! We must have confidence!"
The chief of the Yak tribe was also waiting on the side and said sarcastically, "Haha, the civilization of Buzhou Ruins is so powerful, what is your research funding worth? I'm afraid it will be wasted."
"Selling raw materials like us is a cost-effective option."
"With such a small population, you are tinkering around all the time. It must be tiring."
The Snow Sheep Chief shook his head and said, "Every profession has its own expertise. When it comes to hair research, most civilizations cannot compare to us."
"Don't small tribes have the right to develop? Small tribes don't need to develop in all directions. They only need to grasp one or two key points to establish advantageous industries."
"We are able to conduct independent research, train a team of talents, and develop modern industry. This is a long-term process."
"Without the whole process of investment, there will be no future!"
The Yak Chief snorted coldly: "You are talking in a very different way... Our tribe's strategy is to rely on those powerful civilizations, cooperate for mutual benefit, and jointly develop. Isn't that much better than you?"
"Haha, there is nothing wrong with win-win cooperation, but if we don't have the leadership and all the technology is in the hands of others, what kind of talents can we cultivate?"
There was more information flowing on the screen, as if one could see a large group of people on the distant other side of Pangu Continent, picking and choosing and comparing products.
At this time, everyone held their breath and set their own prices.
Goods with high cost-performance ratio will be snapped up first, while those with low cost-performance ratio will naturally be ignored.
"Lower the price a bit."
The Yak Chieftain was getting impatient, watching others making deals while his own items were not even selling at all.
Anxious ordered his subordinates: "As long as there is a price war, I don't believe it."
Their yak hair is piled up like mountains, and their production capacity is excessive.
On the other side, the Snow Sheep Tribe was in a completely different situation. At first, it seemed that no one was interested in those products.
But a few hours later, a big customer appeared.
Seeing the yaks anxiously lowering the price, the snow sheep couldn't help but feel relieved and happy, but they kept silent and made a fortune in silence.
Their products were sold out immediately! Especially the skins and ropes, which were sold out in half a day. The demand was far greater than the supply! "Have you sold them?"
"Alas, we can't sell them." The Snow Sheep Clan leader looked serious, "It seems we are in the same boat."
The yaks finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is it so difficult to make money..."
But turning around, the Snow Sheep Chief quietly told his men: "We must transport more goods from the rear."
"Yes! Or raise the price a little more?"
"Yes, the skin produced by our tribe has unique advantages. It is not cost-effective to sell it at the same low price as the yaks. We should increase the price a little bit, but not too much, otherwise these cows will find out and they will be jealous..." As he spoke, the old snow sheep who had lived for many years could not help laughing out loud.
This time, the mortal enemy was finally firmly suppressed.
Thus, a huge polarization emerged! Civilizations with unique products gained huge economic benefits.
Those civilizations that sell raw products can only make a tiny profit.
The transaction amount on the first day actually exceeded 300,000 Lingyun, and this was only the first day - this also fully proved the unprecedented prosperity of the "Buzhou Ruins-Northern Territory Trading Market"! ...
…
Just like that, all developments officially entered the fast lane.
For human civilization, the establishment of the "Northern Border - Buzhou Ruins" trading market is also a great strategic opportunity. How to gain greater benefits and how to ensure its leading position will be the focus of future research.
Top scientists such as Lu Tiantian and Hai Zhiyun work hard every day to participate in various seminars and conferences, and academic discussions with various civilizations are booming.
Li Datie and other craftsmen teams also go out from time to time to compete in their craftsmanship.
Not to mention, the overall forging level of mankind...if we rank second, no one dares to claim to be first!
Only a few master craftsmen of the second-generation civilization have such foundation, but for humans who are the first to study field industrialization, this foundation is just a drizzle.
Don't underestimate the significance of a large team of craftsmen. According to the rules set by the Buzhou Alliance, the winners in the craftsman competition will receive greater financial support - this can be said to be a reasonable manipulation of the rules and a benefit to mankind.
With Lu Yuan in a coma, Lao Mao had to shoulder more responsibilities, including meetings, speeches, diplomatic negotiations, and internal public opinion...
Fortunately, Comrade Lao Mao did not feel tired and instead enjoyed it.
In internal public opinion, humans now consider themselves to be a "Level 4 civilization". The main reason is that there are already Level 4 civilizations around them, and their strength is not weak.
As long as there are competitors, there is no need to worry about complacency.
On this day, Mr. Lao Mao held a grand press conference.
"Comrades and friends, this world-class war against the ancient races has won great prestige and honor for our human civilization."
"We are one of the nine permanent members. This is a great honor. It means that we have stood out among more than 30,000 civilizations and become the leader."
Lao Mao’s voice can be heard in various squares, and also on big screens in classrooms, cafeterias, bars and other places.
People's faces were filled with smiles and they cheered for the victory at this moment!
The old cat paused, and his tone changed slightly: "But you have to know that this kind of leading advantage cannot last long in the fierce competition."
"We must cultivate more talents and establish a more complete system so that we can stand out in the future and move towards a true level 5 civilization! In fact, level 5 civilization is not even our ultimate goal. We want to become a level 6 civilization, or even a more powerful level 7 civilization!"
"First, let us observe three minutes of silence for the soldiers who died in the war. They sacrificed their lives for the glory of mankind."
"In this war, the death toll of our 18 human civilizations is 112,000... and the number of injured has reached one million... This is the most tragic war in our history. What you should remember is that this is just a small aftermath before the arrival of the epochal disaster."
"If we don't continue to become stronger, what awaits us will be... death..."
"Let us salute them!"
The number of casualties was really huge. Green City had only over 10 million people, which was equivalent to 1% of the population dying! 10% of the population was affected! The war directly changed the ideology within the human race.
In the past, the new generation had not fought a war for a long time, so they were always a little naive and thought war was a simple thing.
Only when death really comes, do we understand the heaviness of life and death. When the new generation of soldiers look at the monuments standing around the memorial hall, the cold frost in their eyes is like the north wind in Siberia. Only when they look at the prosperous city and the smiling faces, will they feel the tenderness of spring breeze.
But this is indeed a just war, which is morally impeccable, so death is not something to be afraid of.
It also shaped a group of strong-willed soldiers and workers and tempered their civilized spirit, which is an invisible and immeasurable benefit.
After three minutes of silence, the old cat continued: "In the Green City History Museum, some more exhibition space has been added."
"And in future textbooks, their names will be recorded prominently."
“Let us always remember them.”
"Next, I want to say a few words about future developments. It is foreseeable that we will stay in the Ruins of Buzhou for a long time. The territory here is large enough. According to the data obtained from geographical measurements, its area is about 13 times that of the North. There are enough civilizations, and there is sufficient competition and pressure."
"Therefore, the environment here is very suitable for the long-term development of my civilization."
"Unless it becomes difficult for us to learn anything from other civilizations, we will stay here for at least hundreds or even thousands of years."
"As for the resource issue, there is no need to worry too much for now. On the one hand, we have obtained a considerable amount of resources during the war. I cannot disclose the amount directly, but it is enough to support technological development for a long time."
"On the other hand, our Green City is good at plant cultivation-related technologies, is also proficient in Zerg breeding, and is far ahead in the research of field industrialization. We plan to bid for the lease of a small world. The rules of these small worlds are very different, which are suitable for growing some special plants and breeding Zerg to provide output."
"If you live off the land, war profits are only temporary. Finding new income is the long-term solution."
"It's a small world, covering millions of square kilometers. We need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to transform it, which also means hard work in the future,"
"There is no such thing as a life that lasts forever. Moving forward with our feet on the ground is the path we choose..."
In the pub, many people smiled, drank a glass, and encouraged each other.
There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves. This is just a small victory. How could humans get carried away by a small victory? And people are already lining up at the registration points in major parks and squares to sign up to participate in the operation of the small world!
The soldiers were also in the barracks, cheering with tears in their eyes.
The current number of human soldiers has exceeded one million, but the war is over and there is no need for so many soldiers. They must turn swords into fences, so they must change their careers. Under normal circumstances, 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers can already support the safety of Green City.
The old cat finally said: "In addition to the management of the small world and external civilization exchanges, the work we still need to do is naturally the research of space tunnels."
"This is related to the path forward for Level 5 civilization, so our human civilization will allocate a large amount of funds."
"We have obtained the corpse of the Void Clan, and the related bloodline can observe and use space tunnels. Therefore, the idealistic path is to transplant the bloodline to the Zerg, cultivate the Void Amoeba, and then use the Void Amoeba to further develop space technology."
"Another way is to use materialistic means to capture the material changes when the space tunnel is opened and closed. Physical means are more difficult, but they also have greater potential and lower costs."
“We will build a larger-scale physical observation device.”
"In the future, the university curriculum will also change accordingly, and I hope that the children in school will pay attention to this matter."
Scientific research, inspiration and talent are indeed important.
But... money is the most important thing! Under the right conditions, as long as you are willing to invest, the probability of gaining something is still very high!
"The last issue is of course the population. After detailed calculations, it is expected that the population will expand by 50%-70% in the future, reaching 15-17 million. The new generation will be named "Zhou". Let us welcome the development of the new generation together!"
After saying this, Lao Mao nodded towards the TV station.
It seemed as if it could hear overwhelming cheers coming from every corner of the Green City.
“It feels so good to win!”
