Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Sorsain was also a cunning fellow. After he sent the message to Cecilia Star, they rushed over to negotiate.

They must value this planet very much, and Cecilia Star can only last for two or three hundred years at most.

Currently, the number of deaths they experience each year due to environmental degradation is increasing year by year.

And within a few hundred light-years nearby, they have no suitable planets to colonize, mainly because the conditions for the emergence of life-sustaining planets are extremely harsh.

The planets in the nearby starfields that can support human survival have already joined the Milky Way Interstellar Federation.

Those with good environments are only around 10 billion, but Sorsain is asking for 30 billion right off the bat.

This is simply robbery! Cecilia Star's annual GDP is only about 5 billion Galaxy Credits.

They also have to pay 2 billion in federal management fees every year.

Plus, with the current harsh environment on the planet, they need to purchase a large amount of resources from other planets, leaving them with less than 1.5 billion Galaxy Credits in savings each year.

Buying this planet would cost Cecilia Star the entire planet's income for 20 years. This is simply daylight robbery!

(Note: In the universe, each planet has a different orbital period, so the length of a year is also different. For the sake of understanding, a year in the story is calculated as one Earth year.)

If it weren't for the Interstellar Federation protecting Mesolas Star,

General Cisse would have wanted to colonize their planet, relying on his civilization's level being higher than Mesolas Star's!

But he didn't dare to do so.

The Milky Way Interstellar Federation was founded by the three major Level 5 civilizations in the central starfield of the Milky Way.

The first principle of the Milky Way Interstellar Federation is that all planets with a civilization level above Level 1 that are registered with the Federation

enjoy the protection of the Interstellar Federation, and higher civilizations must not arbitrarily invade and colonize other Federation member civilizations' planets.

However, once registered with the Interstellar Federation, they must pay annual federal management fees.

This amount is linked to the civilization level and productivity of the planet, which is equivalent to protection money.

Of course, joining the Interstellar Federation also has benefits, as they can engage in interstellar trade with other Federation planets.

Only by earning enough Galaxy Credits can they afford to pay the management fees.

Once they can't pay the management fees, they are very likely to be invaded and colonized by higher civilizations, facing the danger of extinction.

Therefore, the planets that have joined the Milky Way Interstellar Federation work, trade, and earn money very diligently.

They earn Galaxy Credits to offer to those three major Level 5 civilizations.

Cecilia Star has been exploring habitable planets in deep space for many years, but has always come up empty.

The Milky Way is too big. There are 400 billion stars alone. How many planets are there among those stars?

So, finding a life-sustaining planet is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Sorsain, don't try to challenge my bottom line!"

Sorsain was not worried. He was confident that he could sell it at this price.

"General Cisse, you just saw that the planet called Earth is in its prime for life, which is very suitable for your Level 3 civilization's colonization requirements. It will likely have hundreds of millions of years of habitable period in the future. This price is not expensive!"

General Cisse was trembling all over.

"Don't think that just because Cecilia Star's environment is deteriorating, you can sit on the ground and raise the price. Sorsain, I warn you, don't push your luck!"

"General Cisse, could it be that you want to threaten us with force?"

Cisse revealed a sneer.

"Heh heh, although we can't invade your Mesolas Star, our Cecilia Star is the closest Level 3 civilization planet to you. If we frequently harass you, the Interstellar Federation will turn a blind eye. Sorsain, do you want that?"

Sorsain was immediately speechless!

"Hmph, General Cisse, aren't you being a bit too greedy? If you do this, I will appeal to the Milky Way Interstellar Federation. Then, we won't be selling this planet to you. Oh, right, Nicol Star, a mid-Level 3 civilization in the M40 starfield, seems to be looking for a colony planet as well. If you can't afford it, we will consider contacting them!"

Cisse frowned immediately!

"Alright, alright, alright, Sorsain, I will report back to our planet leader. I hope you can take down that planet as soon as possible. Next time, our planet leader will come to trade in person!"

After saying that, General Cisse stormed off.

After sending away the Cecilia Star people, Sorsain looked at the sky, revealing a smile of successful scheming.

30 billion Galaxy Credits is the GDP of Mesolas Star for more than ten years.

Their annual Interstellar Federation management fee is about 1 billion Galaxy Credits.

If this deal is reached, they will be able to get decades of breathing room.

At that time, they can use the extra money to buy more advanced technologies from other civilizations.

Maybe they can advance to a true Level 3 civilization.

Sorsain was thinking wishfully.

...

Three months later, Earth, Universal Technology Park.

In these three months, Chen Yu built a large number of Level 3 civilization warships.

The raw materials, shells, etc. of these warships require some special elements, which are very rare on Earth and the planets of the solar system.

Synthesizing those elements is also too slow, and even many elements, with Chen Yu's permissions, do not have synthesis permissions.

So Chen Yu used metal materials from Earth to replace them.

He doesn't require these warships to have amazing attack resistance anyway, as long as they can destroy the incoming Level 2 civilization warships.

The main thing is quantity over quality. Build more, so that it won't hurt to perish together with them.

In these three months, Chen Yu's interstellar warship factory could build one attack ship every three days.

Equipped with a small nuclear-powered thruster, it can only perform conventional flight and cannot achieve light-speed flight.

Because Chen Yu does not have the technological permissions to manufacture superluminal warp engines.

Nor does he have the most important raw materials that can only be found near black holes.

But as long as they can fight, that's fine. The weapon systems of these attack ships

are equipped with laser cannons, electromagnetic pulse cannons, and traditional high-energy electromagnetic catapult shells.

The energy is all provided by a small, controllable nuclear fusion engine carried inside the attack ship.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Yu's current ordinary attack ship can dominate the Earth and rule the world.

...

At this moment, in the Oort cloud, one light-year away from Earth, a dark and terrifying space is irregularly wriggling.

Behind it, the starry sky shows a distorted picture, indicating that there are space fluctuations and even gravitational anomalies here.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from that distorted space and disappeared in just an instant...
