Guide to Galactic Dominance

The ramp port of the Bibo boat extended out and was connected to the customs office in an orbit of more than 400,000 kilometers on the surface of this commercial planet. Bai Zhongqi, Han Jiaxue, Ling and others walked down the ramp and came to a place that looked like a window.

A transparent mirror made of high-strength material, with a force field shield on the outside. An alien with a stature similar to that of an Earthling, but as thin as a bamboo pole, sat inside, looking at those who came out with a pair of huge black eyes. Bai Zhongqi and three others.

The reason why this alien is so easily called an alien by Bai Zhongqi is that his race is obviously different from the galactic primates to which the earthlings belong. It is very similar to the huge-brained ETs in science fiction works on Earth. There are two rows of organs at the top that look like bone spurs and tubes, with unknown purposes. This alien has deep eye sockets and very three-dimensional facial features, but his eyes have no whites and are all deep black. His nose and ears were so small that they were almost invisible on his face. Only the mouth is closer to humans.

The alien raised his hand, and Bai Zhongqi found that there were only three soft fingers on it, two pointing upward and one pointing inward. Apparently the alien's fingers are very flexible and can curl in different directions freely and can also perform grasping movements.

"Hello, welcome to Puping'a Star. I am Weasa, a staff member of Puping'a Customs." The customs staff looked at Bai Zhongqi and others without being surprised. The number of primates in the galaxy is very large. It is large, and there are many that have grown into powerful civilizations, and there are even more primitive civilizations that have not had contact with other civilizations.

Zero is an android who has mastered all the languages ​​​​of Pupinga, and even understands some of the customs of this commercial planet. The consortium behind Pu Ping A Xing is the Ion Consortium, the exile of a powerful civilization in the galaxy. The Xijie civilization is a highly developed civilization that pursues efficiency and virtue. Its current civilization level has reached level 31, which is higher than the current level of Iridium.

In Xiujie, some Xiujie people do not agree with the concept of civilization. This group of deviants even more admires the trade alliance that once flourished during the prosperity of the second civilization, and extremely advocates privatization. The traders were ridiculed and even given animal names as surnames. In the end, this group of people parted ways with the Xijie Civilization and established Puping A Star in this star field, establishing an ion consortium that was relatively influential in dozens of surrounding star fields.

In business brochures, Puping people are not shy about informing their customers of their origins, and they seem to be proud of them. This is indeed the case. Although a high-level ethnic group from a level 31 civilization set up a separate business and built such a commercial planet, they must also have a lot of advanced technology and are not easy targets.

"The distinguished guest is our new customer in Pupinga. We have activities to reward new customers. When the guest makes the first transaction with our consortium, we will give you a 10% discount; the guest is in Pupinga When conducting legal transactions with other customers that do not exceed the amount limit, we waive a series of additional fees such as notary fees, intermediary fees and handling fees.”

Although there is no expression that Bai Zhongqi can understand from the face of Pu Ping, Bai Zhongqi knows that the way he looks now is probably the same as the salesmen on the earth who are doing sales.

"We need you to register your customer information. If you choose to become a member of Puping'a Trading Star, many of the fees you incurred for transactions during your membership period can be canceled, and you can also enjoy the benefits provided by this Trading Star. A variety of considerate services will make your business more prosperous and easier to do business with.”

Bai Zhongqi nodded, and he didn't mean to talk nonsense to a customs official and salesman. There is no need to spend money to simply enter the customs. For most civilizations in the galaxy, trading is a troublesome matter. Trade within each civilization does not necessarily use uniform equivalents, let alone civilizations with different values ​​​​and different races.

In the introduction of Puping's business manual, there are two relatively scarce equivalents: one is energy currency. No matter which civilization, energy is the most important thing, and for most civilizations, energy is also It is something that is relatively easy to circulate and measure, but the carrier of energy storage may be different, and it occupies a relatively large area. Puping people very cleverly used their own efficient energy technology to create a carrier with small size and high energy density. It's actually the battery, which is used as the base currency for many transactions. This energy currency is widely accepted, and its basic unit is 1 pulun, which is approximately 2.5 billion kilowatt hours, which means that 10,000 pullons is equivalent to the earth's power generation for one year.

Being able to store 1 pulun of energy on a cubic meter-sized carrier, this kind of energy storage technology is not available to the Iridium people. Naturally, the Iridium people are not particularly strong in energy storage technology, but Bai Zhongqi heard what Ling said. After the Puping people had such energy storage technology, a strong possessive desire emerged.

But he also understood very well that Puping'a's trading star used Pulun as currency and widely used it, and no civilization had cracked this core technology of Puping'a. The reason why Pulun is easy to use is that it can be directly used as an energy source in civilized production and life.

Bai Zhongqi will naturally not tell the true name of the Iridium civilization or the Earth civilization now. Even when he was approaching here, he had consciously hidden the three-way lightning emblem on the Holy Falcon and replaced it with a temporary one. Eagle shield coat of arms design.

Heraldry is the easiest way to identify civilizations in the universe. In fact, it functions as a flag.

"We are the business group of the Millennium Eagle Civilization and hope to conduct trade on the Pupinga Trading Planet."

Apart from the civilized fake name, Bai Zhongqi will not report anything else. Naturally, the Puping people would not ask any more questions, including where the so-called home planet of the Millennium Eagle civilization is, what special technologies the civilization has, what its political system is, or what the level of the civilization is.

For many civilizations that are just for doing business, except for the information about the home planet, they will basically fill in other content by themselves. These are all ways to optimize business search engines. What kind of business others want to do, they have to fill in the other content themselves. It depends on whether the person you are trading with is qualified. Civilization level, technological level, etc. are all very effective filtering criteria.

Bai Zhongqi didn't intend to sell anything. All he wanted to get was information about Taiz's benefactor.

However, just because he doesn't want to sell it doesn't mean that others don't want to buy it.
