I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

Because it is a port city, the entire planet has been almost completely transformed. The familiar natural scenery and vegetation have disappeared, replaced by a completely covered surface.

For deformable metals incorporating nanounits, this is truly the best breeding ground for assimilation.

A large amount of deformed metal poured into the ground, and then continuously replaced and devoured the original infrastructure materials, and a magnificent and huge high-rise building truly "rose from the ground".

In less than an hour, the park belonging to the global giant had been completely laid out.

Three pairs of wings surround the central planet, forming an arrow-shaped arrangement of three five-pointed stars. The logo of this global giant is thus imprinted on the headquarters building, bathed in light.

With such infrastructure efficiency, the engineering team at Fantasy Star would probably be crying in the bathroom.

"The next step of employee recruitment will be handled by Santi, while Laura will try to find clients for Universal."

With her hands on her hips, Laura faced this port city marvel, feeling an indescribable excitement.

Today is destined to be a day that will leave a lasting mark on the history of the Milky Way.

Global giants will become the dawn of the galaxy, and soon, the light of hope will shine on yet another planet.

A global giant dedicated to creating a better universe.

Today, tomorrow, and forever!

Yes, at least that's what the promotional video says.

Leaving Little Belfast and Santi in Hong Kong to handle the startup work of the global conglomerate, Laura, along with Veneto and the young lady, embarked on a journey to find clients.

"Fantasy Star will transfer some of its domestic business to Huanyu, but in the meantime, we must find new trading partners as soon as possible. Only by building a sufficiently strong trade network with our own strength can we succeed."

Those empires near the Phantom Star System are not the best choice. In terms of trade, the first thing the global giant needs to do is to accumulate resources and experience. Only after digesting the domestic market and developing small interstellar markets will Laura try to establish long-term cooperation with other empires.

"But if we don't choose the domestic market and overseas markets, are there any other options?"

Veneto was a little confused and asked.

"of course."

Laura nodded, then found a remote star system on the star map of the Phantom Star System: "There's a primitive civilization there."

Primitive civilizations differ from mature spacefaring civilizations. Primitive civilizations trapped on planets may have some understanding of the universe, but it is extremely limited, and their knowledge of interstellar society is practically zero.

Normally, when the Fantasy Star system discovers such a civilization, it will establish an observation station to observe it quietly and will not interfere with the civilization's development at will.

Judging from Laura's words, she seems to want to break the tradition of the Fantasy Star System and is preparing to interfere with the development of civilization.

"Don't worry, that primitive civilization already has the ability to launch colony exploration ships. Even if we don't interfere, they will discover the Phantom Star System sooner or later. Besides, the star base hasn't been built yet, so the laws of the Phantom Star System don't apply to us."

"..."

Veneto fell silent, while the young lady looked excited, seemingly anticipating the moment she would meet the natives of the primitive civilization.

Laura had a feeling that the young lady wanted to summon her own ship and then shout in front of the entire civilization, "It's too late, organism."

"Then let's set off."

Seeing that Veneto and the young lady had no objections (not really), Laura no longer hesitated, activated the space bridge, and maneuvered the Dawn across the space vortex.

At the other end of the vortex, an orange-yellow star, its hot plasma and magnetic field intertwined, came into view. Not far away, a sea-blue planet quietly orbited the star.

A vibrant star system rich in mineral resources.

"What a beautiful planet."

As Veneto gazed at the planet, its surface covered by vast amounts of seawater and possessing a jewel-like purity, his eyes gleamed.

"So many organisms..."

The young lady's gaze was intense, peering through the atmosphere at the bustling metropolis on Earth, a fiery intensity in her eyes.

I inexplicably want to purify it all.

"This is a star system that Huanmeng Interstellar has just completed exploring. The research ship's assessment of this civilization concludes that it will enter the realm of spacefaring civilization within ten years?"

As he flipped through the information on the Phantom Stars, Veneto muttered to himself, suddenly understanding what Laura had said earlier.

Such a promising civilization certainly warrants early contact.

Lexington must also be struggling with whether to include this star system in the scope of the Fantasy Interstellar System. If it is included, then ten years later it may be embroiled in a dispute over the ownership of the star system. If it is not included, it feels like a huge loss.

"So, we came here on a mission?"

Feeling that he had seen through the truth, Veneto looked at Laura with a face full of suspicion.

Laura paused for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"That's right, Laura's mission this time is to find a way to trick... and obtain the resource mining rights of the star system as much as possible."

Who would have thought that the person who persecuted President Ling Yun, and who was discussing capitalist exploitation with me behind my back, was actually Ling Yun himself?

@Ling Yun, the male protagonist of a tragic love story

122. Pro-foreign + extremely egalitarian local alliance

P.S.: To avoid unnecessary disputes, this book will not involve any direct connection with China, the Celestial Empire, or other countries (super cowardly).

PS2: Come to think of it, the Earth Alliance was originally set as a Western Earth...

SOL 3, on the star map of the Fantasy Star System, is a special star system that has given birth to the possibility of entering the universe.

But for Laura, she preferred to call this galaxy the Solar System.

After experiencing multiple world travels, Earth, this special planet, left a very deep impression on Laura's heart, so much so that even in the vast universe of stars, Earth still exists.

How do we reach out to people on Earth?

After learning about the information regarding Earth, Veneto frowned.

Based on current information, the Earth has achieved political unification, forming the United Nations, and technological development is quite rapid. Achieving the initial goal of globalization will likely be extremely difficult.

At least, that's what Veneto thinks.

When a civilization suddenly realizes that there is an existence that is more advanced and superior than itself, its first reaction is most likely to be panic and unease, rather than quickly adapting and reaching a cooperation agreement.

There will be a long period of time in between, involving complex communication, in-depth exchanges, and even reaching a consensus.

"Well, that's actually quite hard to say..."

Laura's expression turned strange as she recalled that she had secretly glanced at the Earth Alliance traits set by Astra earlier.

It would be a miracle if these two civilizational traits—pro-foreignism and extreme egalitarianism—could survive in the universe.

If the same thing happened on the Phantom Star Alliance, Lexington would probably be furious. While Phantom Star Alliance upholds pacifism, it's not as open as the Earth Alliance.

"No matter what, let's complete the first contact with the Earth Alliance first."

Shaking her head, Laura stopped worrying about how her random trait generator had created the freakish Earth Alliance and instead focused on how to communicate with it in the future.

First, when making contact with civilizations that have never formally encountered extraterrestrial life, one must demonstrate sufficient goodwill, but at the same time, one must also have sufficient deterrence.

Laura can easily achieve both of these things.

Yes, the Dawn spacecraft, with its 12-kilometer range, making its appearance right next to the space station, certainly has a strong deterrent effect. As for goodwill…

Our global conglomerate is going to great lengths to provide you with convenient door-to-door free trade services. Furthermore, considering the limited resources of your nascent cosmic civilization, we even offer large loans with an annual interest rate of 35%...

In addition, before the Earth Federation has the capability to mine stellar energy and extraterrestrial minerals, global giants can accept the temporary transfer of resource mining rights and the construction rights of hyperspace toll stations by the Earth Federation, and trade with preferential policies such as customs exemption and low taxes for the Earth trade division.

This is truly a testament to the integrity of the industry, demonstrating the enormous contribution that global giants have made to the common development and prosperity of civilizations across the Milky Way.

If it were any other, more brutal interstellar empire, upon discovering a civilization on the verge of entering the space age, they would either completely conquer and colonize it or utterly destroy it, rather than offering assistance.

If they're unlucky, all of humanity will be reduced to contractual assets devoid of freedom and dignity, and some might even breed humans as a new species of food.

In comparison, the corporate responsibility of global giants and the protection of primitive civilizations by Fantastic Interstellar could easily be selected as one of the top ten classic cases that moved the galaxy.

Moreover, is it really a bad deal to exchange these resources that the local alliance can't use for the time being and irrelevant policy support for advanced technology that is ten years ahead of civilization?

As a global giant, we are committed to achieving win-win results and would never intentionally cheat our customers. This is the foundation for our long-term development and growth, and it is also a consensus reached by Santi and Laura.

Furthermore, is it considered a scam to exploit information asymmetry to seize additional benefits that the local network cannot utilize?

--split line--

Solar System, Earth United Nations

When NASA detected a massive alien ship in outer space, the entire Earth Alliance was in an uproar.

However, even though most people are anxious about this, no radicals have called for a devastating attack on the giant ship.

In fact, after unification was completed, pacifist sentiment had already gained the upper hand within the Earth Federation, and the so-called hawks had long been marginalized.

What era are we living in? Why are people still thinking about resolving issues with force all the time? Peace and development should be the main themes of our time.

In this respect, Earth Alliance and Universe have some overlap.

Moreover, even if a twelve-kilometer-long ship does nothing, its crash to Earth would be enough to cause an irreparable disaster.

If it were to fall onto land, the powerful impact would be enough to cause an earthquake of at least magnitude 12, affecting most of the landmass. If it were to fall into the deep sea, the resulting tsunami could also bring devastating damage to coastal cities.

"NASA and SPACEX have completed the pre-launch preparations for the rocket in an emergency, and the mysterious giant ship is also emitting plain text communication frequencies, so we can communicate with extraterrestrial life at any time."

"The information blockade is not unusual. Information about extraterrestrial civilizations has been completely restricted internally and will not cause panic among the public. In fact, according to sociological statistics, many people actually yearn for contact with extraterrestrial planets."

"The military forces for space have been concentrated, but due to technological limitations, there are very few weapons available. According to the research units, if we were to go to war with a giant ship, it would be more symbolic than practical."

"..."

Intelligence reports converged on the Earth Federation Presidential Palace, followed by detailed decrees that were disseminated worldwide, fully leveraging the Earth Federation's advantage of a -20% consumption rate under its democratic representative system.

Well, it's not very useful.

After making thorough preparations, the current President of the Earth Federation, Ling Yun, finally made a decision and, after discussions and exchanges of opinions with the parliament, prepared to officially connect the communication channel to the world.

With the most outstanding staff of all mankind standing behind him, President Ling Yun took a deep breath and then connected the official channel of the Earth Alliance to the Universal Frequency.

The next moment, Laura and Veneto, the young lady, appeared on the screen, with Veneto, who had white hair and red eyes, taking the center position.

Under the unified rule, the special attack attribute of the Chinese people has successfully spread to the entire world. According to Laura's judgment, Veneto should be able to gain a higher diplomatic evaluation in the world.

As it turned out, Laura's choice was extremely wise.

As the trio from the global conglomerate appeared before President Lingyun and his staff, Astra's cosmic core judgment flashed with a special diplomatic boost.
