Hilda and Wim were stunned for at least half a minute without speaking. It wasn't until Hao Ren waved his hand in front of them that they came back to their senses. If Hilda at least knew something about Hao Ren's background, then Wim really
He was completely confused. He felt that what he just heard was not just an auditory hallucination, but even a fantasy!
"You said... a planet?" Wim looked at the mysterious stranger in front of him in a rude manner, "Can it be given to us? And you have a way to transfer a billion people at once? Sorry... I don't know if I understand it correctly.
No, that’s what you mean, right?”
Hao Ren already knew that the other party would react this way, so he nodded seriously and explained the details: "I do plan to do this, you don't have to doubt anything. But I have to explain some details first: because of some procedures
Regarding the question above, that planet is not given as a gift, but is leased to you. Of course, this is just a formality. You can use the resources on your new home as you wish. I will personally transfer the right to use the planet to you to the maximum extent possible.
Anyway, that place is of little use to me. After that, you will temporarily settle down in another universe as sojourners, but after you develop real super-light aerospace technology, the first colonial star you develop will become
Your real inherent property, you are legal residents from that time on. In addition, the fleet I arranged for you is not free, but you should be able to afford the travel expenses..."
Hilda nodded repeatedly while listening. These details seemed like just a formality. She knew that the other party was already doing their best to get the Irem elves out of the mire, so she didn't care about certain restrictions at all. But she still
From the perspective of the ruler of Irem, he asked cautiously: "So Hao Ren, what is the price...?"
"I just said it. On the one hand, you have to give up your foundation here, which is a psychological hurdle for you. On the other hand, you have to bear the travel expenses yourself," Hao Ren spread his hands, "The one responsible for this migration is
As a private company, they can't work in vain. The conditions they offer are the floating islands you have on hand and the large equipment you can't take away. These things seem to have some value in the flea market and some black markets. After calculation, they will be enough.
One billion of you have been transported to another universe. In addition, this is considered as a family price. I only agreed to use resources to offset the payment after knowing him who ran the long distance."
Hilda opened her eyes in surprise: "You want these things?"
"Is it difficult?" Vivian next to her couldn't help but join in, "You will have enough land and resources after you arrive in your new home. And your remaining population is only one billion.
The planet should be open to living, so there is no point in preserving these floating islands, right?"
"It's not that I can't bear to part with these floating islands, I just didn't expect anyone to want them," Hilda said with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "I thought our exhausted and outdated facilities were worthless in the eyes of higher civilizations..."
The data terminal said something to the side: "You can't say that, scrap metal is valuable, it just depends on how it is used. Your floating islands themselves are indeed worthless. They are useless for those civilizations that have the ability to go to space.
Celestial fragments of money. Of course they look down on this, but the equipment you make - some people want it in some markets. The depletion of resources has pushed your technology in material circulation and ecological domes to the limit. The equipment you make
Equipment is very valuable in this regard. Advanced civilizations may not be able to use it, but some young civilizations with average technical levels and just entering space like to go to the second-hand market to exchange for such ready-made cheap equipment."
"You seem to be very knowledgeable?" Hao Ren looked at the data terminal in surprise.
"I just understood it. I just checked the database and found that the pan-universe economic circle is a very interesting thing. The old antique equipment of the Erim elves will be transformed into cheap colonial components by some professional renovators.
Second-hand equipment with high capacity is combined and repackaged and sold to rookie civilizations who do not understand the industry. This business is a large part of interstellar trade. Maybe in a few years you may see the Rising Sun in some corner of the galaxy.
The shadow of the island - the universe is too big, and there are all kinds of industries. And even those old equipment that cannot be recycled does not matter, they will be sent to the furnace, or become the possession of some astral scholars and collectors with unique hobbies
Personal collections can always be used anyway, 'Nothing created by intelligent races will have a value of zero', this is a famous saying of the leader of the Fialli Consortium, and all interstellar profiteers firmly believe this."
Hao Ren thought for a while: "... Let's not talk about this first, how much did 883 probably deceive me?"
"No more, no less, it's probably the amount that should be used to deceive a half-experienced and broad-minded business partner." The data terminal said in a very unconcerned tone, "And strictly speaking, he is making money from the Irem Elf.
After all, he is a businessman, and you cannot expect him to be as noble as Yzaks."
Hao Ren: "..."
Hilda understood the meaning of the data terminal, and she quickly expressed her position: "It doesn't matter, we can't take these things away anyway..."
Although the main leaders had no objections, Hao Ren certainly had nothing to say. He took this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the era of stars and seas. Moreover, he also understood that the development of a civilization's technology tree is often not balanced:
The Erim elves are indeed a civilization trapped in the home star circle, but this is caused by a bad environment. Their technologies in other aspects, such as material recycling and artificial ecology, have actually reached the standards for entering the interstellar stage - as long as
Give them a hyperdrive and they can spread across the galaxy.
It is foreseeable that the Erim elves will enter a stage of vigorous development after getting rid of the current quagmire. Their potential is no joke.
"Then you don't have any objections to this relocation plan, right?" Hao Ren looked at Hilda, "Do you need to check with your council of elders and ministers?"
The expression on Hilda's face was hard to tell. She was so excited and shocked and barely maintained her composure that her lips were trembling. She just nodded vigorously: "Of course I don't have any objections!"
It's better to say this is a big...surprise, but will you really give us a planet? You won't want us to do anything else except travel expenses? I don't quite understand...could a planet mean so much to you?
Something insignificant?"
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "How can I put it this way? From a person's world view, I really can't imagine what it means to have such a large piece of land. The house I live in has not been renovated for decades.
, the property of this planet is too big for me to imagine, but I am doing this as a prosecutor now - that planet is just a nominal property for me, I can't use it at all,
What do you think I'm going to do with it? Tie it up with a rope and smash it into the sun? I might as well do it as a favor to you."
"It is such a useless thing to you," Wim's expression was wonderful, "but our whole family has been struggling with this for thousands of years..."
"Wim, go inform the Council of Elders and my council," Hilda said quickly. "In addition, immediately issue a royal highest notice to announce to the whole people that there are extremely important events, but don't announce the content yet, so that they can pay attention.
All information channels are enough, and I will announce the specific situation after the elders meeting is over - suspend all the work you are doing, they are not important anymore."
Wim suddenly stood up: "Yes! Mother!"
Then the young elf regent turned and walked towards the exit of the hall, but after taking two steps he couldn't help but turn around. The expression on his face was so weird that it was almost funny. He looked at Hao Ren and his own mother: "Wait a minute.
For a moment... I'm still a little confused... Didn't you actually discuss it and tell a story? I really accept this..."
Hilda's face darkened: "Go quickly!"
The young regent hurriedly ran out, while Hilda reminded loudly from behind: "Don't forget to state that it is 'good news' when you make the announcement - the people can no longer bear the fright!"
Wim trotted out of the living room. Hao Ren looked at his back and sighed: "You are quite good at educating your son."
"He is not mature enough yet," Hilda shook her head. "As a regent, he is just barely qualified. There is nothing I can do about it. After all, he has just grown up... I am a little impatient with his education."
Hao Ren felt that discussing the issue of educating his son with a beautiful sister who was only a year or two older than him was a shitty situation. He quickly interrupted the topic: "Don't talk about it now - the biggest elf in Irem now
Now that the problem has been solved, social issues such as the Paradise Organization should not be a problem, right?"
Hilda was startled as if she had just reacted, and then smiled: "Ah, yes... suddenly I feel... relaxed..."
Hilda's voice became lower and lower, and Hao Ren didn't notice it at first. When he felt something was wrong, he realized that the queen was already lying on the table, making no sound at all. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature,
