Chapter 605: The beginning of the border trade war
Hearing this, the corners of Furninna's mouth curled up slightly, and then she looked at Paimon.
"Paimon, come and see which dishes are more to your liking."
"It just so happens that there's not much difference in what we like to eat."
Hearing Fernina's voice, Paimon suddenly felt as if she had arrived in heaven, so she thanked Fernina for her help and went to the menu to start choosing.
Seeing this situation, how could Jiade not understand what Funina meant?
So, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, Jiade handed the menu directly to Paimon and allowed her to order whatever she wanted.
After living for so many years, he actually has a lot of wealth, plus his status as the clan leader...
He, Guardian, is rich!
So no matter what Paimon says, he won't care at all.
……
At the same time, while Paimon and his companions were still thinking about eating, in another universe, a huge disaster was slowly unfolding under the gaze of the Star God...
This is a disaster that all the star gods know will happen.
That was a horrific disaster comparable to the worldwide locust plague!
But before that, there is a new war...
After years of development, the Interstellar Peace Company, with the support of the Original Domain, is now developing even faster than they were in the other timeline.
Its influence continued to expand, and the credit point system it established was further recognized by many forces with the help of the original domain.
When all items were priced, a large amount of wealth began to flow into the Interstellar Peace Company.
Pierpoint, the Treasury Department, which is an excepted department.
A large amount of wealth can deceive people's eyes. If one does not have enough self-control, he or she is likely to fall into depravity in the face of such terrible wealth...
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the third lifelong director, the dimensional sage of the original domain mechanical clan, took charge of this department.
With super computing power, he can achieve perfect coordination and mobilize the strength of all departments.
He has a strict and cold personality and doesn't care about wealth.
Therefore, he is the most suitable candidate.
Of course, I don’t know if it’s a curse or something else, just like the “Ministry of Households” in charge of wealth in the countries on those planets, whenever money is needed, they will be very stingy.
Whenever any department went to apply for investment projects, they would always be scolded by this director.
Since everyone knew that the only Minister of the Ministry of Finance was not only a lifetime director of the company, but also a famous general and commander of the original domain, they could only choose to accept the scolding honestly.
While showing a flattering smile to please the dimensional sage, he tried to use his rhetoric to obtain more project funds.
However, their rhetoric skills will never be comparable to those of the dimensional sages...
After all, this lifelong director defeated Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing in terms of rhetoric.
On the "key" road, he is almost synonymous with invincibility.
At this time, space trade is a blue ocean, with almost endless wealth waiting for companies to tap into.
Faced with such huge wealth and power, no one would not be tempted.
Naturally, three departments became active.
[Political Propaganda Department] Director Trora Faenza!
(This department is very old, and its guards have mastered the technology of mind control and are responsible for expanding the company's influence)
[Loading and Unloading Department] Supervisor Kolapau!
(Partners under him are responsible for the transportation and logistics of space resources)
[Technical Department] Director De Wayne!
(Doing research)
Under this endless wealth, three ambitious executives began their plans.
Faenza came to the Ministry of Finance, hoping to get some investment support for the expansion of Transformation Trade.
"Dear Lifetime Director Mr. Dimension Sage, I hope to get your permission and obtain the corresponding investment project."
She smiled a smile that was both elegant and ambitious.
"Tell me about your project plan." The Dimension Sage's voice was cold, as if he had no emotion at all. "If you can't convince me, then forget about investing in this project."
Faenza took a deep breath and began to explain her plan:
"Our Propaganda Department plans to use the Guard's mind control technology to set up propaganda stations on various planets. We will first guide the local residents to accept and desire our transfiguration trade goods. At the same time, we will use unique marketing strategies to develop different promotion plans based on the preferences of different races. The estimated investment cost is 2 trillion credit points, and the profit will reach more than five times the cost. And this is just an initial estimate. As the market expands, the profit will grow exponentially."
The Dimension Sage listened quietly, the light in his mechanical eyes was extremely calm, and no emotion could be seen.
After Faenza finished speaking, he was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Your plan seems perfect, but it overlooks a key factor. The cultures of different planets are very different. How can you ensure that mental control will not cause disgust or even resistance? Once an interstellar dispute is caused, the loss cannot be compensated by this investment."
Cultural differences between nations can lead to wars, let alone cultural differences between planets?
If a powerful destiny walker suddenly appeared on those planets, big problems might arise.
A powerful Fate Walker can annihilate stars and even rival a Messenger of Order.
If a being of this level pops up to cause trouble, it might lead to an interstellar war.
What's more...the Dimension Sage can be sure that Faenza's thoughts are not just these!
Faenza's face changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down and explained: "We will do a detailed cultural research in advance to avoid such things from happening."
"And I've also contacted the rememberers of Liuguang Memory Court, and I plan to develop a special memory bubble technology that can be effective..."
The Dimension Sage shook his head slightly. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. It seemed that the supervisors of the loading and unloading department and the technical department had also rushed over.
"Hey, isn't this Faenza?" Klapau's voice was full of teasing. "I haven't seen you for a while. Why are you so different?"
"Get out..." This word was naturally impossible to say. Faenza looked at Korapau with a gloomy face and had an urge to punch him.
At this time, the Dimension Sage turned his head and looked at Kelapau.
"Korapawu, no noise is allowed in the office."
Hearing the voice of the Dimension Sage, Kelapau's expression changed slightly and he stopped smiling. He responded respectfully, "I'm sorry, Master Sage of Dimension."
But his eyes looked at Fansa provocatively.
Without paying attention to the fight between the department heads, the Dimension Sage asked calmly:
"Are you here to set up any new investment projects? If so, please tell us about it."
"Of course, Master Sage of Dimension!" Klapau's voice was full of fighting spirit. "My investment project is about the auxiliary device for synesthesia communication for cultural exchange between the stars. It is called synesthesia beacon technology in short!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, a light flashed in the eyes of the Dimension Sage.
This technology reminded him of the elemental resonance spiritual communication device in the original domain.
"Elaborate."
Hearing the words of the dimensional sage, Faenza's heart sank suddenly, while Kelapau couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
He looked at Faenza proudly again, and then said:
"According to my observation, due to the generation gap in communication between many civilizations, this situation will cause problems in trade and the spread of information."
"For example, here, what we want to express is trading, but in other planets or races, it is understood as mating..."
"This kind of misunderstanding sometimes leads to special dangers."
"So in order to facilitate communication between different races and civilizations, I have contacted the Doctoral Society and decided to work with them to develop synesthesia beacon technology to facilitate future economic trade."
“Rather than a bloody war where everyone loses everything, people hope to cross the language barrier and reach a win-win consensus!”
"Doctoral Society..." The Dimension Sage's voice was a little thoughtful, and then he asked with some doubt: "Why not try to find the Genius Club?"
Hearing these words, Kelapau's expression froze slightly.
Genius Club?
They also want to contact each other!
But how could that group of arrogant geniuses set their sights on the realm where mortals live?
▼ (The following content is the original text, from Genius Club #56 Elijah Salas)
“The thinking activities of civilized creatures are mainly expressed in the form of inner language. Just like people are unaware of it, but when they read, they will silently recite in their minds and form thoughts.
If we can skip the transmission process, connect each other's perceptions, convert the inner language encoding, and then let the other party's language cognitive system automatically process and restore it, the obstacles that block communication will be swept away.
—Preface to "Manuscript of Thoughts on the Art of Communication and Interaction", Elijah Salas
Elijah Salas built the first pair of "synesthesia beacons" prototypes. Unfortunately, the communication barrier between geniuses is not only language, but also arrogance. The members of the club ignored his invention, and this pearl was covered in dust for hundreds of years.
▼
However, he absolutely could not say that the people in the Genius Club were extremely arrogant. After all... his status was not high enough to criticize the geniuses in the Genius Club.
“Forget it…” Seeing that Kelapau remained silent, the Dimension Sage knew what the other party was thinking at the moment, “Since you have this idea, and the Doctoral Society also has the ability to do so…”
“How much project investment is required?”
After hearing these words, the other three people present had completely different expressions.
Klapau was unabashedly ecstatic, Faenza was as if struck by lightning, and De Wayne... well... he was just here to join in the fun, so he wasn't very excited.
Kolapau suppressed his excitement. He came to the side of the Dimension Sage and whispered a number in a very low voice.
“This investment…”
The Dimension Sage began to think carefully.
Seeing him like this, Kelapau's heart, which had finally been calmed down, was in suspense again.
"I agreed."
His voice was extremely calm, and then he pressed a button, and a series of light screens appeared before his eyes.
From the countless light screens, he retrieved all of Kelapau's investment project applications.
"I will agree to all investment projects involving synesthesia beacon technology..."
After these words were spoken, Kelapau almost started street dancing.
"But I have a request."
"Within two hundred years, synesthesia beacon technology must appear!"
Two hundred years time limit?
Isn't this free shipping?
Hearing the Dimension Sage's request, the corners of Kelapau's mouth curled up slightly.
With such a simple request, he dared to guarantee that the lifelong director, Dimension Sage, would definitely favor him.
After glancing at Faenza with disdain, Kelapau said, "Of course, carry out your will."
"Within two hundred years, synesthesia beacon technology will surely appear!"
Why was Klapau so sure?
This is naturally because the company has now collected the languages and cultures of more than 30,000 civilizations, and the "Translation Book" produced according to the situation can cope with most of the current civilization exchanges.
Although there will still be some minor problems when encountering those remote galaxies, they are not big problems.
Judging from the current foundation, and with countless wise men and sages from various civilizations joining the Society of Knowledge, and with sufficient funding, it is not a fantasy at all to develop a synesthesia beacon in two hundred years!
Kolapau even felt that it would take less than two hundred years, but at most a hundred years, for the synesthesia beacon technology that would enable civilizations to further communicate and achieve win-win results to appear!
"I hope so." The Dimension Sage was not excited by Kelapau's assurance. His expression and voice were as calm as ever.
Seeing that Kelapau had successfully obtained funding from the Ministry of Finance, Faenza's pretty face turned much darker.
It was a common understanding within the company that the three departments were fighting for power and profit, but this time, I failed to obtain the project funding, while Kelapau succeeded...
What does this mean in the eyes of people within the company?
Faenza had already foreseen the internal rumors that would appear next.
Damn Krapawu!
A hint of resentment flashed across Faenza's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
According to the situation of ordinary people, if they encounter such a thing, they will probably hate the dimensional sage as well. But how can someone who can become a department head be an ordinary person?
Being dissatisfied with the Dimension Sage is equivalent to being dissatisfied with the other two directors who support the Dimension Sage, and it also means being dissatisfied with the original domain behind the Dimension Sage...
What does the original domain represent?
In today's galaxy, who doesn't know that the Original Domain is the most powerful force?
The seven envoys traveled across the galaxy and defeated the stars so badly that they could not raise their heads. They also had the oldest star gods as their backing. This was a pure difference in strength.
No force wants to provoke the Original Domain, not even the arrogant Genius Club!
Speaking of wealth, how many shares of the Interstellar Peace Company are currently held by the Original Domain?
30%!
This is 30% of the shares of Interstellar Peace Company, which is known as the "source of cosmic wealth"!
In terms of wealth and strength, the original domain is superior to many other forces. If a war breaks out, the answer will be obvious.
Therefore, Faenza didn't even dare to think of hating the dimensional sage!
