The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

There are many human players here, but few are eligible to participate in this super auction. Li Qing and Li Bo came to the management committee to register and verify capital according to the instructions, and found that there were only two people in the huge hall. On the contrary, there are many staff members.

More than a dozen robots, more than a dozen humans, more than a dozen main species of Bruwan's alliance, and dozens of aliens belonging to different species.

It looks quite international, and it can guarantee that the powerful civilization of the Perseus Arm can be received here.

Seeing that he is human, two humanoid robots received him together with a handsome guy and a beautiful woman.

After knowing his purpose, the human man in a suit said first:

"My dear sir, this is the management committee of the 003 Neutral Galaxy Super Auction held every five years. I am a staff member of the United Human Empire Embassy in the 003 Neutral Galaxy, number 105. You can call me Xiao Xu, if If you went to the wrong place, I can show you around, if you want to participate in this auction, you need to verify your capital first before you can sign up."

Although the other beauty did not speak, she kindly summoned a chair and prepared fruit drinks and so on.

Very good attitude.

Li Qing nodded and said:

"I'm here to participate in the auction, how do I need to verify the capital?"

The handsome man named Xiao Xu immediately stretched out his hand, a light curtain popped open, and asked:

"I don't know the gentleman's name and identity. I just need to confirm my identity and confirm that you have enough funds. It won't be too complicated."

Li Qing nodded, did not say his name, but asked rhetorically:

"I don't want to reveal my identity, but I have brought enough supplies."

The man was a little surprised, nodded immediately and said:

"It's fine if you bring enough supplies, but our colleagues and the management committee need to make an inventory to roughly determine the value of the supplies."

"Of course."

"I don't know where your fleet is, we can confirm it now."

"No fleet."

"???"

"It's like this. I have a space-type relic, and all my goods are stored there. You can ask the staff of the management committee to go in with me to have a look."

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Please wait!"

The woman who had been accompanying her immediately turned around, whispered a few words, and soon several intelligent robots came over.

Li Qing opened the door of the black hole and walked in first. A man and a woman hesitated for a while, and several robots followed closely.

After entering, they appeared in a star castle. Li Qing led them to fly out of the star castle on a frigate, and saw large pieces of refined steel and a large number of rare crystals everywhere in the void outside the star castle.

This is the No. 1 subsidiary galaxy of the Palm Universe. After such a long expansion, its diameter has exceeded 20,000 kilometers. Li Qing sealed it off from the main galaxy of the Palm Universe, and it became a huge independent space, which is specially used to show it to outsiders. .

Although the space of 20,000 kilometers is large and valuable, there is neither a high-dimensional fortress nor a super dock in it. With his identity, no one is willing to take huge risks to snatch it.

In other words, those who are worthy of attention cannot be robbed, and those who are capable are not necessary.

Right now, this space is full of refined steel and alloys, as well as some rare crystals. The frigate went around and returned, and left without taking a careful inventory.

They just determine whether you have the financial resources, and they don't care how much financial resources you have.

The next step was even simpler. Several 003 intelligent robots confirmed his financial resources and completed the registration. After getting a metal card to prove his identity, he only had to wait for the super auction to start.

It is worth mentioning that this metal card not only means participating in the Super Auction, or is not limited to 003 neutral galaxies, in fact, with this card representing financial resources or identity, it can be used in all 003 Mechanical City galaxies in the entire galaxy. Prove your identity among cooperative civilizations or forces.

There are quite a few neutral forces or civilizations like 003 in the Milky Way. For example, the famous Pan-River System Trade Chamber, if there is a chance to go there in the future, they can prove their identity as long as they show their cards, and there is no need to think of various ways to prove their identity or financial resources.

Of course, in some auction houses of major chambers of commerce in the United Empire of Mankind, if capital verification is required, holding this card is also valid.

At the same time, only by holding this card can you enter the 003 mechanical city planet. Visitors who normally come to the 003 galaxy are not eligible to directly enter the 003 mechanical planet, unless the player is here to mix, specifically open the reputation system of the 003 neutral galaxy, and reach reverence above.

This also means that getting this card is equivalent to directly having a reputation above Revered.

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and now even robots can't escape this cliché!"

Leaving from the management committee, the aircraft flew directly to the 003 mechanical planet, turned on the network on the way, first booked a hotel in the second area of ​​the 003 mechanical planet, and the aircraft flew directly to the second area.

The robot's thinking is very simple. It divides the entire planet's surface into 100 areas and arranges them in order of importance. Area 1 is the most important and is the administrative center of the entire galaxy. The business center is located in area 2, and the super auction is located in area 2.

Before the aircraft came to the planet, it paused in front of the 10,000-kilometer-thick super energy shield, and was able to pass through the energy barrier to enter through identity verification.

Entering the barrier, you can see the whole picture of the huge mechanical city planet in front of you.

To be honest, he has never seen a planet with a diameter of more than 100,000 kilometers, but all of them are gaseous planets. lap.

The surface of the planet is all made of metal, and there are many high-rise buildings comparable to the Cyberworld. To be honest, the impression that this mechanical city planet gave him is not much different from that in the Cybertron Fortress.

But it is only superficially similar. The internal government of this mechanical city planet is not a consortium and capital, but a robot-ruled machine servant government.

The so-called servitor means that after a civilization is highly developed, its robots suddenly develop intelligence on a certain day, and there will be several endings at this time.

One is that the intelligent robot is unwilling to be enslaved, and conflicts with the Creator. After the war wiped out the Creator, it embarked on the route of exterminating all other organic life forms. This robot is called "Iron Heart Exterminator"

One is that intelligent robots live in peace with the Creator. With the assistance of intelligent robots, the development of civilization is accelerated, and the overall strength is stronger than normal civilization. This is called "omnimechanical".

There is also a kind of conflict between intelligent robots and the creator, but they cannot break through the laws of robots, resulting in some kind of logical conflict. This situation will have different consequences. One of them is very similar to the current robot civilization called 003. , called [Runaway Servant]

It means that the out-of-control intelligent robots use various methods to make the Creator's civilization lazy, provide various safe environments for the Creator, ensure their rich material needs and safety, and prevent them from making progress, while the progress of civilization is determined by intelligent robots .

Li Qing remembered that in the previous earth era, there were some very interesting questions in many post forums.

Question: If one day the whole world is ruled by robots, you must work five days a week and eight hours a day, no overtime is allowed, and there are abundant entertainment and material supplies, will you resist under such circumstances?

Answer: Robot Taijun, yes, the rebels are hiding here! ! ! !

In the eyes of Li Qing, the neutral civilization called 003 is most likely the kind of out-of-control machine servant civilization. All the population of the entire civilization is concentrated on this huge planet, guarded by a powerful fleet, and the planet is also extremely prosperous. No matter what There are materials and entertainment, and you can also get in touch with foreign civilizations. Apart from not being able to leave, you can satisfy almost everything.

To be honest, for ordinary people, this is indeed a paradise-like world.

It is worth mentioning that there is more than one species in this civilization. The ruling intelligent robot welcomes any race to immigrate, whether it is human beings, the Bruvan United Civilization, or other civilizations outside the spiral arm, etc., as long as the application is approved It will be accepted if you move over.

At least when Li Qing entered the interior of the planet, he saw no less than five species of different races, including humans.

"What a magical world!"

The aircraft passed through all-metal skyscrapers and entered the interior of the planet, and stopped in front of a huge hotel building. The aircraft parked directly at the berth, and a robot drove a small aircraft to pick them up.

In this lazy world, few people are willing to do this kind of service work. Even the front desk work in the hotel is done by robots. Only some supervisors and other management jobs have living people, and all others are robots or fully automatic.

Anyway, even if they don't work, the basic welfare guarantee can ensure that they meet a certain level of material supply and entertainment supply.

It's equivalent to Li Qing's basic subsidy of 10,000 yuan every day if he doesn't work in the earth age. Why should he work?

After staying in the luxury suite he ordered, Li Qing stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the bustling city outside, and said to the star-negative Cybertron:

"How do you feel about this world? Are there any similarities with your previous Cybertron Fortress?"

Cybertron shook his head and said:

"There are certain similarities, but more of them give me a strange sense of familiarity, as if I have seen them before."

Li Qing said with a smile:

"Could it be that you have been here before?"

As an old antique who has lived for tens of thousands of years, Lord Sen Luo was still a normal human being before his mechanical ascension, so it is not surprising that he came here.

But the Negative Star Cybertron shook his head firmly and said:

"Impossible, I never heard of this neutral force seven thousand years ago."

"Could it be that this neutral force hadn't developed at that time, or that the intelligent robot hadn't been born at that time, and this place was just an ordinary indigenous civilization?"

"impossible!"

Li looked up at Li Qing, and said with certainty:

"At that time, we were the main force fighting against the Bruvan United Civilization. Your Majesty was the Supreme Marshal of the three major fortresses in the northern border of the empire. Our joint battle with Bruvan covered almost all galaxies in the entire border star field. All life in this star field The planets are well known, and it can be determined that there were no living planets or indigenous civilizations in this galaxy at that time."

"Well."

Li Qing couldn't refute this point, he thought for a while and said:

"Perhaps, perhaps after you, the intelligent robot led the fleet to come here and transform a planet by itself."

"Maybe!"

Star Negative Cybertron didn't seem to have any entangled thoughts. He turned his head and looked at the bustling city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thoughtfully.

Naturally, Li Qing didn't think about it. He just looked curiously at this bustling city full of exotic customs for a while, then returned to the sofa and sat down. He unfolded a light curtain on his left wrist and began to connect to the local network.

Commercial Center No. 2 is also the window for foreign exchanges on this planet. All outsiders mostly stay in this area. In addition to many auction participants, there are also many interstellar businessmen from different races who will do business here.

Most of the businesses that can be done here are cross-ethnic and cross-civilization transactions, and they are all big businesses that can easily cost trillions.

Open the portal of the business center, and you can see many advertisements from big businessmen from different civilizations. Li Qing watched them one by one with great interest.

Randomly click on an advertisement from a big businessman from Bruvan United, and a new website pops up. Judging from the title, it should be the personal chamber of commerce website of this big businessman. There are all kinds of information available for trading on it. I have seen and never heard of an alien civilization native, and there is information about the appearance of this native and its civilization below, so he was confused on the spot.

"Good guy, this business is a bit big!"

The information shows that this is an indigenous mammal species, similar to orcs in fantasy novels, very much like a tauren, from the head to the body, with curved hooves, and two horns on the top of the head. , had already walked out of the birth planet when it was discovered, and had transformed other planets in this galaxy, but had not yet left this galaxy.

The tauren can build spaceships, it's a bit magical to think about it.

This race is the perfect coolie race, and it is also an excellent cannon fodder troop race, slave race.

To be honest, Li Qing was a little moved, but after looking at the price of this thing, he hesitated a little.

The single price is 150,000, and each purchase is no less than 100 million, which is 15 trillion.

If all 34 billion is required, it is 5100 trillion.

"It's outrageous!"

However, Li Qing did not immediately deny it, and put it aside first, and began to check other traded products of this big businessman.

But when he saw this, he was shocked again.

Then he kept clicking on other products, his eyes became more and more surprised, and he couldn't help complaining for a long time:

"Nai Nai, isn't this the official human trafficking dealer of the Bruwan United Civilization?"

There are more than a dozen kinds of commodities in it, all of which are people of different races. The few are billions, and the many are hundreds of billions, which is simply outrageous.

He spent some time looking at all the alien populations, observing their appearance, habits, and potential value, and finally settled on the group of tauren.

This physique, this birth rate, the perfect coolie and cannon fodder.
