123. Galaxy Light: A Global Giant and Laura

[Diplomatic Sisters: Diplomatic Rating +10]

[First contact between primitive civilization and interstellar civilization, pacifism bonus: Diplomatic rating +10]

[First contact between primitive civilization and interstellar civilization, egalitarianism bonus: Diplomatic rating +10]

[Pro-foreignism: Diplomatic evaluation +100]

……

In the highest dimension of the world, beyond the observation of all, Astra's core processor continuously redefined the diplomatic evaluation of the Earth Federation nation's will towards the Fantasy Star and the Colossus.

After gaining a basic understanding, the Earth Alliance's attitude towards Fantasy Interstellar has evolved from initial caution to friendliness.

The information that Laura retrieved regarding the Fantasy Star System and the cosmic environment was extremely rich and extensive, and the perfect self-consistent logic also gave the Earth Alliance a preliminary understanding of the existing cosmic environment.

Laura felt a pang of regret as she presented the "Fantasy Interstellar Social Studies" textbook to the Earth Alliance as a gift.

Given the situation in the land alliance, even if this data were priced at 0.25 units of mineral resources, Laura wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.

A comprehensive intelligence report covering a wide range of areas is of extremely high value to the Earth Alliance, a civilization that is completely in the dark.

However, after making this decision, the friendship between the Global and Earth Alliances was essentially established. This would indeed reduce many unnecessary obstacles in deeper levels of trade.

More importantly, thanks to Laura and Universal's goodwill, pro-foreign sentiment has further developed, and the Earth Alliance has taken another historically significant step on this path of no return.

"Global giants are committed to the prosperity and development of the Milky Way, and can also provide fairly comprehensive support solutions for weaker civilizations."

Following the previously drafted document, Veneto, who was appointed as the global ambassador for the Earth Federation, proceeded with the negotiations with the Earth Federation in a scripted manner.

"This includes unrestricted science and technology, long-term orders for conventional resources, and auxiliary manufacturing for high-tech industries, etc..."

Veneto was surprised when he rattled off all the services that Universal could offer. When did this giant corporation become capable of such a feat?

Lexington did not commit to providing most of the aid on the list, meaning that Laura already had it?

Hmm, after thinking about Laura's skillful drafting ability, which was no less than Santi's, Veneto suddenly felt that it was more likely to be a deception.

But this time, Veneto misunderstood Laura. What Laura presented were actually real.

Cybertronian technology and Kree Empire technology are sufficient to meet the needs of the Earth Alliance, which has not yet ventured into space, while deformable nanometals and the resurgence of ship girls can instantly build a massive industrial chain.

As long as there is enough energy, Laura can also exchange it for a large amount of resources. With the White Bear Bell Star Cluster in hand, Laura essentially has a complete and highly efficient Dyson sphere, so she has no worries about energy shortages.

Moreover, if they can't finish it, Laura can act as an intermediary to facilitate cooperation between the Earth Alliance and the Fantasy Star Alliance. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Things went even more smoothly than Laura had imagined. In the first phase of the collaboration, Laura obtained the right to mine resources on all the planets in the solar system, excluding Earth and Mars, for ten years using only the most basic hyperspace engine technology and a star map within the range of five jumps in the solar system.

The Earth Alliance is quite shrewd. Before they can digest enough advanced space-age technologies, no matter how abundant the resources in the solar system are, they can only barely establish a resource base on Mars, and they will be unable to collect resources from any further away.

According to the laws and regulations of the Fantastic Interstellar Space, once the stellar outpost is established, Fantastic will have the right to mine all resources within the solar system.

Laura promised that if the Earth Alliance and the Universe reached a long-term cooperation agreement, she would reach an agreement with the Illusionary Ones to suspend the establishment of the solar system outposts, while ensuring that the Earth Alliance would not become a vassal of the Illusionary Ones.

With a two-pronged approach, the local authorities had no reason to refuse.

"However, the Illusionary Codex also clearly states that if the native civilization within a star system possesses interstellar travel capabilities, the Illusionary Codex will voluntarily transfer ownership of the star system and will not interfere with the affairs of newly formed interstellar civilizations."

Trying hard to recall the laws of the Fantasy Star System, Veneto leaned close to Laura's ear and whispered something.

"Moreover, as long as the value of the acquired resources exceeds 120% of the construction value of the mining station, or the original civilization fails to pay the shortfall, the original civilization can automatically acquire ownership of the mining station."

"Oh, is that so?"

Laura blinked, studying the image, then said calmly, "It's alright, as long as the Earth Alliance doesn't know."

After saying that, Laura nodded, confirming her actions.

A mining station worth 100 units of minerals, once the payment is completed, will leave the national treasury's mineral reserves quite empty.

Concealing this fact is actually to avoid the local government from overdrawing its resource reserves and affecting future development.

Rounding it up, this global behemoth has saved a civilization from the brink of extinction!

Once the Earth Alliance has fully developed and can easily deliver 100 units of resources, Laura will naturally transfer ownership.

Well, I really am the conscience of the galaxy!

By the way, after so many years, this unassuming mining station has witnessed the friendship between the giant corporation Huanyu Xingji and Dilian, and has a certain degree of historical significance. Selling it for 300 units of resources wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Moreover, the first phase of cooperation went so smoothly that both parties obtained the benefits they needed after reaching a consensus, which can be described as a win-win situation.

The friendship between the Universe and the Earth Alliance deepened further, while the Earth Alliance also developed a growing fondness and longing for the unfamiliar Fantasy Star Alliance.

"Unbeknownst to them, Huanyu has taken on the important role of a diplomatic envoy and successfully brought Huanmeng a potential ally. It would be unreasonable for Lexington not to give Laura a bonus when they return."

While lamenting the hardships of life, Laura took out the second phase of the cooperation agreement with the Earth Alliance.

The proposal to restrict and protect hyperspace routes and the proposal to introduce Huanmeng Daily Necessities into the ground-linked market.

"Establish restrictions on hyperspace routes and set up interstellar customs and tax stations to protect the solar system from potential attacks by hostile fleets, while simultaneously opening up the Earth Alliance market to other companies from the Fantasy Star System..."

With a two-pronged approach of protecting both cultural development and commercial interests, global giants enjoy customs duty exemptions and preferential treatment in the local market, while allowing other industries of Huanmeng to promote local development.

By allowing Huanyu to dump higher-quality consumer goods into the local market, while simultaneously injecting foreign investment into local industries to support the economy, and assisting the newly established Huanyu branch in forming a complete market monopoly... no, a high-quality market transformation and development.

Huan Yu and Laura are truly the light of the galaxy!

124. The VIP System of the World

A global giant dedicated to creating a better galaxy.

It is unwise to relentlessly exploit the Earth Alliance. Both Laura and Santi are well aware that only by accelerating the development of the Earth Alliance and enabling it to truly enter a mature spacefaring civilization can their interests be maximized.

Well, as the saying goes, robbery is too slow a way to make money; it's better to do business and have others deliver money directly to you.

Gradually deepen the friendship between the world and the earth, take advantage of the earth's pro-foreign sentiment, seize the opportunity to grab the earth's market, and then gradually merge other industries to achieve a monopoly, eventually becoming the earth's only supplier.

Let’s go!

However, just as Laura was remotely connecting with Santi to discuss how to deepen the multi-phase cooperation with the Earth Alliance, Dolores Muwanga, the Earth Alliance's communications officer assigned to the Globe, brought a transaction request from the current Grand President, Ling Yun.

"Hmm? Applications to build two research vessels and two engineering vessels?"

Looking at President Lingyun's order with some surprise, Laura was a little stunned. Did the Earth Alliance want to go to space to explore the universe ahead of schedule?

It wasn't until Dolores explained that Laura understood why the Earth Alliance needed these ships.

Project Ulysses was a space exploration and colonization plan prepared by the Earth Federation. It carried 25 colonists, including colony ships such as the Hyacinth and Chrysanthemum, to leave the solar system in an attempt to find new life-bearing planets.

These colony ships were equipped with unstable wormhole generators, but because the optimal environment for activation is low stellar gravitational interference, many colony ships did not officially activate the generators in the first few years.

Subsequently, due to the sudden appearance of Fantasy Interstellar and Universe, this project has been suspended by the Earth Alliance.

This plan has only been in effect for a few years, and given the outdated capabilities of the Earth Alliance's colony ships, they are most likely still on their journey. The Hyacinth and Chrysanthemum colony ships have already lost contact, while the others have been recalled.

Among the auxiliary vessels ordered by the Earth Alliance, the research vessel is to locate the two missing colony ships, while the engineering vessel is to prepare for the worst and to recover as many usable resources as possible once the wreck is confirmed.

After all, at the Congress, the Earth Alliance had its eye on many things in the Universe, and its resources were becoming strained again.

"This might be a bit troublesome."

In formal exchanges, Veneto, following Laura and Santi's instructions, feigned reluctance: "Whether it's a functional vessel or a military ship, they must all be registered with the Fantasy Shipyard. The Earth Alliance wants to purchase..."

"We must sign a peaceful coexistence treaty with Huanmeng, as a spacefaring civilization."

Although Earth Alliance has now obtained the universe's hyperspace engine, it has not yet fully digested it and it will be quite some time before it can enter the universe. It certainly cannot meet the conditions mentioned by Veneto.

Of course, the claim that Huanyu will strictly follow Huanmeng's rules is itself a deception.

What is our world?

A giant corporation!

As long as the money is right, services such as smuggling, arson, and glass burning are all available. Moreover, Lexington has granted even more lenient permissions to the world in such minor matters.

Laura's refusal to sell finished research and engineering vessels directly was based on the global customer tier system she and Santi had previously decided to establish.

To put it simply, it's essentially a VIP system that grants clients more privileges after a rigorous evaluation based on long-term cooperation.

It is roughly divided into three major tiers and nine levels. Laura simply copied the classification of Noah's Light ship hull levels by changing the name.

Among them, the three major watersheds in purchasing power are planetary level, galaxy level, and galactic level.

Planetary level is mainly aimed at ordinary potential users in the future, galaxy level is for low-level civilizations that have not yet left their star system, and galactic level is for interstellar empires that occupy a large part of the starry sky in the Milky Way.

Tier 3 does not involve purchasing authority; it is simply a symbol of purchasing power.

The three internally defined stages involve credit, potential purchasing power, and repayment ability, and are divided into three stars. Users of any global giant enterprise start with a two-star rating.

As for the one-star rating, that's for lowering the rating.

With long-term debt, a user's privileges will be reduced to one star, and their purchasing options will be restricted, allowing them to only buy the most basic products, while credit sales will not be accepted.

As for Samsung, those are truly high-end products. For civilizations and empires, access to Samsung allows them to further increase their spending on rare resources, while also unlocking technologies and products that can change the fate of a civilization.

Given the current authority of Earth Alliance as a second-tier star system, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate for them to purchase research and engineering vessels capable of venturing into space.

Rules are rules; they are the foundation of our existence in the world.

"However, Worldwide supports the leasing of ships and the refurbishment of older vessels..."

When Veneto told the Earth Alliance about the situation in the universe, just as Dolores was frowning and sighing, he changed the subject and rekindled hope in her heart.

Leaving aside the issue of renting warships, if the Earth Alliance only needs research ships with hyperspace navigation and information capture capabilities, and engineering ships that can only perform basic maintenance, then the Universe can fully provide modification services with two-star access.

However, such ships are considered substandard products within Huanmeng.

A ship like this, even with a little explosives, could be used as a kamikaze (divine wind) vessel.

However, considering the high costs of chartering ships and the insurance business, Dolores quickly responded to the Earth Federation after conveying the response from the world to the Federation, in accordance with the resolution of the Congress.

The Earth Alliance invested some resources, dismantled several naval warships as resources, and used the failed starships from the previous Ulysses Project as a framework for modification. The universe was able to barely modify them into a research ship and an engineering ship.

Well, according to Veneto, about half of the resources were used to pay for the dock space and slots.

Although Laura only used one-third of the energy delivered by the Earth Federation to get the Transformers to combine those low-quality steels, and it didn't even take much time, well...
