Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Time flew by, and evening arrived. The auction at the Norton Star Royal Hotel was about to begin.

Chen Yu arrived early at the entrance of the convention center. As soon as he arrived, he saw General Norton surrounded by several people in uniform.

Presumably, those uniforms were their planet's military attire.

General Norton also saw Chen Yu and waved to him.

Chen Yu walked forward and shook hands with General Norton.

"Young friend Chen, I think there should be something of interest to you at today's auction. Why not come in and take a look with me?"

"Alright, thank you for the invitation, General Norton!"

The two entered the hall, chatting and laughing.

At that moment, a young man, followed by several menacing bodyguards, was heading towards the convention center.

That's right, Ling Tian had also come to participate in the auction, but he had been beaten quite badly by Chen Yu last night.

Even after taking a Level 3 gene pill in the morning, his injuries hadn't fully healed.

His face was still bruised and swollen, with patches of blue and purple.

Around noon, Ling Tian had found the information of the previous customer in the presidential suite.

It was an ordinary visitor from a Level 4 civilization planet named Chen Yu.

When he learned that the other party was just a kid from a Level 4 civilization, Ling Tian was furious.

He had been beaten for nothing on behalf of the other party. After the auction, he would definitely find someone to block that kid and make him pay the price!

Ling Tian presented his invitation and entered the venue with his two most capable bodyguards.

Chen Yu didn't expect that his and General Norton's seats would be in the front row.

It was evident that General Norton's background was more than just what Chen Yu could see.

Not long after Chen Yu and General Norton sat down, Ling Tian also led his people to sit down in the front row.

People who had passed by earlier were all sizing up his face, which was bruised and swollen, fueling Ling Tian's anger as he was very concerned about his image.

He focused all his hatred on Chen Yu, the previous occupant.

The auction quickly began, and after the host's introduction.

Chen Yu roughly understood the nature of this auction. This time, they would be auctioning off some scientific technologies, alien specialties, elements, and spaceships.

Chen Yu also saw auctions of life-bearing planets, as well as some auctions of low-level civilization human races or alien slaves.

Chen Yu was quite interested in many of the items.

The auction officially began.

First up were some alien specialties, including special plants and animals.

Chen Yu became very interested in a tree that could produce a large number of nutritious fruits.

This tree grew very quickly. After maturity, one tree could bear fruit twice a year, with each round yielding thousands of pounds.

Moreover, the fruits contained a large number of nutrients essential for the human race, making it a super economic crop.

Furthermore, this tree could survive in harsh environments and tasted good.

Looking at the tree's growing environment, it could be planted on a large scale in Earth's shelters.

Chen Yu thought of Earth's current underground shelters, which were still mainly based on rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes.

Now it was time to appropriately change the taste for Earth. The substances extracted from these fruits could be used as a staple food.

It could basically solve the food problem for everyone and even improve their diet.

Chen Yu looked at the price. The saplings of this plant were discovered by an interstellar adventure team on a primitive planet.

This time, they directly dug up 100,000 trees and planted them directly, and they could see the results in the same year.

The starting price for these 100,000 trees was 2 million Galaxy Coins.

However, the people of these other planets didn't seem to be very interested in this economic crop, and only a few people were bidding sporadically.

And each time the price increased, it was only the minimum of 1,000 Galaxy Coins.

Chen Yu thought it was good and directly added 500,000 Galaxy Coins, taking down these 100,000 trees for 2.5 million Galaxy Coins.

Chen Yu felt that this price was very cheap. After taking them back, they could be divided among dozens of Yanxia shelters.

Then, by cultivating some saplings, the shelters would not lack food in the future.

Finally, after an auction item was put up, Chen Yu was a little tempted.

It was a life-bearing planet located in the Orion Arm, about 3,000 light-years away from Earth.

The holographic screen on the stage played the images of this planet.

Blue skies, white clouds, azure waters, smooth beaches, and majestic mountains.

The terrain was very similar to Earth, and the size of the planet was surprisingly consistent with Earth.

Which also meant that the gravity was about the same as Earth's.

Moreover, the star system of this planet was very stable, located on the 4th planet in the star's orbit, with 3 moons.

The planet's atmospheric composition did not contain gases that were too harmful to the human race, and the vegetation coverage rate was as high as 90%.

The oxygen content was 30%. As long as Earth's humans adapted slightly, they could survive on that planet.

As soon as Chen Yu saw this planet, his heart was filled with excitement.

This was a replica of Earth, a more environmentally superior upgraded version of Earth!

Moreover, it was only 3,000 light-years away from Earth now. Chen Yu's Millennium Falcon mothership could reach it within an hour.

Even without the Millennium Falcon mothership, using the Level 4 civilization home-class mothership built by Earth, with a speed of 1500 times the speed of light.

It would take two years to fly from Earth to that planet.

Chen Yu planned to buy this planet as Earth's future colony planet.

If the sun continued to deteriorate, then humans would be directly colonized there.

Or after buying it, he would immediately return to Earth and organize a pioneer colonial fleet to go directly to this Earth 2.0.

Perhaps after he went out to explore the stars for many years, when he came back again, Earth 2.0 might have changed dramatically!

Sure enough, life-bearing planets were in high demand.

The starting price for this planet was 30 billion Galaxy Coins.

As soon as the host announced it, someone directly added 2 billion, shouting out 32 billion Galaxy Coins.

Chen Yu wasn't in a hurry to bid. He planned to wait and see, and wait until there were fewer people at the end.

Then he would add a high price in one fell swoop. At that time, no one would compete with him.

Ling Tian, who was sitting next to him, was also somewhat interested in this planet. He planned to buy it and build it into a resort planet.

To pass his boring time, and by the way, take his women to play on it.

For Ling Tian, buying a planet was like buying a vacation villa.

Just as the price was reported to 40 billion Galaxy Coins, there were only three people left to continue bidding.

Chen Yu was about to raise his placard and directly add 2 billion Galaxy Coins, reporting 42 billion Galaxy Coins.

In the front row, a young man with a bruised and swollen face, but still with an arrogant expression, raised his placard and shouted:

"42 billion!"

Chen Yu's hand holding the placard froze in mid-air. Someone had actually reported this price in advance.

Moreover, the strategy was similar to his, adding 2 billion Galaxy Coins at once!

When Ling Tian in the front row quoted the price, many people who knew him sighed.

The 3 people who were left competing just now, after seeing that it was Ling Tian, all shook their heads and said they would no longer continue competing.

These people all knew Ling Tian, the young master of the prestigious Tianji Star Interstellar Express Company, with abundant capital and business all over the universe.

Chen Yu was determined to get this planet. He didn't even look at who the other party was, and raised his placard and shouted:

"45 billion Galaxy Coins."

When this number was blurted out, the entire venue almost exploded.
