Chapter 122 Exchange of Resources and Technology, Advance Fleet Arrives
Terminator World, at the center of the Milky Way, the headquarters of the Starsea Community.
Li Qingnian led the way for Fang Heng.
After receiving Li Qingnian's report, Fang Heng was very pleased and decided to come and see for himself.
So after setting up the teleportation beacon, Fang Heng piloted the Punisher to the star system near the communication station.
After meeting up with Li Qingnian, the group arrived at the headquarters area of the Silver Heart through the teleportation stargate set up by the Starsea Community.
Here, he also met Augur of the Garan Empire.
"Mr. Fang Heng, it's a pleasure to see you again."
"Mr. Augurol, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Come on, according to your Earthly customs, I have prepared a welcome feast, and I'm just waiting for you to arrive."
At the same time, I'll introduce you to a few guys. Trust me, getting to know these guys will be a great help to you within the Starsea Community.
Thank you!
The two then walked ahead, with their entourage following behind.
On the way, Augur also explained the specific situation to Fang Heng.
Within the Starsea Community, there are several factions. As a new member, Fang Heng used an invitation from the Garan Civilization, so he was directly identified as belonging to the Garan Civilization faction.
Today, we will introduce the other members of the faction to which the Garan civilization belongs.
Earth's civilization was initially assessed at level 4 in terms of its civilization potential, which was enough to attract the attention of the Garan civilization.
Constrained by the rules of the Star Sea Community, the Garan civilization was unable to attack the Earth civilization.
Since they cannot destroy Earth's civilization, they can try to win it over and make it an ally. This would give the Galan civilization a certain degree of initiative in its future interstellar activities.
Soon, the two arrived at the banquet hall. As soon as they pushed open the door, all the life forms in the banquet hall looked at them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mr. Fang Heng, the leader of Earth's civilization. As a core member, you all know that Earth's civilization has enormous potential and is an existence that cannot be ignored. Let us welcome Mr. Fang Heng to this banquet."
As Augur finished speaking, everyone present applauded.
Fang Heng was also somewhat surprised to see this.
"Mr. Fang Heng must be quite surprised. Everyone here is familiar with Earth's culture and etiquette. To show our respect, we are all welcoming you in Earth's way."
"Mr. Augurol, thank you very much."
Although Augur's social skills need improvement, Fang Heng could still sense that the other party's actions were indeed very heartwarming.
Soon, the banquet began, and Augur led Fang Heng to exchange views with the representatives below one by one.
From this exchange, Fang Heng also learned that only 10 civilizations were attending the banquet, and these civilizations were all at level 4 in terms of potential.
Only those who reach this level of assessment can become core members.
Soon, Fang Heng readily accepted Augur's invitation.
After all, at this stage, he has already been marked as belonging to the Garan civilization, and there is no other way but to join.
However, Fang Heng did not harbor any resentment towards the Garan civilization because of this, after all, they were the ones who guided him to join the Starsea Community.
At most, when we destroy other civilizations, we can take them as vassal civilizations.
Soon, the banquet ended, and Augurol led Fang Heng to the Starsea Community's transportation office.
As a perk of joining the Starsea Community, one can set up a large stargate within the civilization's territory free of charge.
This large stargate is the one that connects to the Starsea Headquarters. You can go to the Starsea Headquarters through this stargate.
Others, if given permission, can also come here through this stargate.
In addition, you can also exchange for the manufacturing methods and materials of the Stargate from the Starsea headquarters, or invite an engineering team to build it at a designated location.
However, whether you're exchanging for technology or resources, you'll need to consume contribution points.
This is the universal currency within the Starsea Community, and it has a high value.
For example, the Stargate technology of a Level 4 civilization requires 10 million contribution points to exchange, while the construction resources cost as much as 100 million.
There are many ways to obtain contribution points, the most common being through resource exchange.
One hundred million tons of pure iron powder can be exchanged for one contribution point, but there is also an upper limit.
Based on Earth's timeline, the maximum amount of resources that can be exchanged in one Earth year is only one thousand points.
Besides resource exchange, you can also complete tasks to earn contribution points.
The missions of the Starsea Community are divided into 5 levels, corresponding to civilization levels 1 to 5.
The contribution points for a Level 1 task are usually less than 1,000 points, and the maximum is no more than 1,000 points.
The level 2 task is 1,000 to 10,000.
三级任务1万—10万四级任务10万—100万五级任务100万—1000万。
With Earth's current capabilities, being able to complete a Level 3 mission is already the limit.
Therefore, to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for star gate construction resources, you need to complete quite a few level 3 tasks.
Another way to exchange for a large number of contribution points is by contributing cosmic artifacts.
Space Stones, Space Dust, and Gravity Stones are all types of cosmic wonders.
After careful investigation, Fang Heng discovered that the spatial dust generated by the teleportation device was also a cosmic wonder.
In the exchange list, "cosmic wonders" refers to naturally occurring, non-man-made products.
Considering that the construction of the teleportation device requires the use of space stones, he also speculated that space dust was very likely a rare object born from space stones.
"I didn't expect this space dust to be so valuable."
In the exchange list, one gram of space dust can actually be exchanged for one million contribution points.
Space Stones, on the other hand, are even more valuable, as they can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of contribution points.
However, the list only showed the option to exchange cosmic artifacts for contribution points, but not the option to exchange contribution points for cosmic artifacts. This made Fang Heng realize that the higher-ups of the Star Sea Community were collecting these cosmic artifacts.
Moreover, he discovered that the exchange vault contained mostly scientific and technological knowledge, and the physical items were also resources needed for technology.
After closing the redemption list, Fang Heng lay down on the chair and rubbed his temples.
We have no shortage of stargate technology; the encrypted package we obtained contained the stargate technology of the Garan civilization.
However, we lack the corresponding manufacturing equipment and our industrial level is not up to standard, so we are temporarily unable to manufacture it.
However, at this stage, one stargate is enough. After all, Earth's civilization here has not yet recovered and it will take at least 100 years before it can start real interstellar travel.
With this in mind, Fang Heng logged onto the official website of the Star Sea Community again to search for information.
He quickly found the information he wanted, and after reviewing it, he felt much happier.
According to the agreement of the Starry Sea Community, it is not allowed to occupy star systems with intelligent life, nor is it allowed to occupy any star system within 100 light-years of the star system with intelligent life.
This part is mainly to prevent civilizations in the core region of the Milky Way from vying for territory and ultimately triggering an interstellar war.
The outer regions of the Milky Way have remained largely undeveloped to this day because of the vast distances between galaxies. Advanced civilizations have looked down on them, while less advanced civilizations, having occupied them, have limited control over them.
He also learned that no civilization in the entire Star Ocean Community had developed as rapidly as that of Earth's humans.
This is also why the civilization potential rating could reach level 3 back then.
Now that this regulation exists, I don't have to worry about being restricted in my development in the outer circle.
He's very good at wordplay.
Intelligent life does not exist within at least a thousand light-years of the solar system, a fact confirmed by the star map of the Starry Sea Community.
Next up is contribution points, an important currency.
Space Dust, as one of the important materials for building secondary teleportation devices, is currently produced in very low quantities, with a daily output of only 10 grams even when energy supply is sufficient.
Building a secondary teleportation device requires 100 grams of space dust.
So even its own production isn't enough, let alone any contribution.
However, this won't work. There's another one: the Gravity Stone.
This item is worth the same as space dust, and I have a full thousand of them. If I exchange them all, I can get 10 billion contribution points.
One billion is enough to exchange for the manufacturing technology of the Jump Engine.
However, technology alone is not enough; manufacturing capabilities and core materials are also essential.
Although he didn't know what the core material was, Fang Heng knew it must be a controlled substance.
At this stage, there's no need to worry about the technology. Many of the encrypted packages we've obtained haven't been unlocked yet, and it will take a long time to fully understand these technologies. The same applies to biotechnology.
Joining the Starry Sky Community now is for a stable environment for development in this world.
After spending a week there and finishing up some backlogged matters, Fang Heng returned to the main world.
With the advance fleet of the Sky Council about to arrive, and many things still need to be dealt with in the main world, most of the matters in the Terminator world are left to the person in charge there.
Soon, half a year passed. On this day, news came from the outpost's gravity detector that the radar set up there could now detect signals of warp drive.
This also means that the advance fleet is less than 10 light-years away from the Chiwuheng star system.
The only thing our side can counter with warp drive is gravity technology.
Therefore, after learning the warp drive trajectory, they directly set up a gravity device in the corresponding direction of the Chiwuheng star system, preparing to force the other party to abandon warp drive.
In the current main world, the Chiwuheng star system defense line is still under construction and cannot be used effectively, so this is the only way to intercept the enemy.
