Earth, Federal Presidential Palace conference room.
Lin Zhen, Ed and a group of staff are currently studying the terminal system of the Xio Alliance.
In this terminal, there are three major system interfaces, namely tasks, transactions, and points.
Task interface: In this system, the alliance will release various tasks from time to time, and upon completion, you will be rewarded with corresponding contribution points.
Everyone took a rough look at the current tasks, including technology research and development tasks, missions to encircle and suppress star thieves, exploration tasks, resource contribution tasks, etc. There are many types.
But these are destined to have nothing to do with the Federation for the time being. After all, humans cannot be exposed to everyone.
Transaction tasks: In this system, transactions can be conducted between alliance members, which are supervised and guaranteed by specialized institutions of the alliance to prevent any fraud, but at the same time, the alliance will also charge a 5% fee for development purposes.
The advantage of this system is that with the alliance's supervision and guarantee, you don't have to worry about being cheated during transactions. If anyone dares to commit fraud here, the alliance will directly teach you how to behave!
But similarly, while enjoying this benefit, the seller also needs to pay a 5% transaction fee to the alliance.
Finally, there is the points module. In this module, you can exchange for many things. In the Xitria Empire's words, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange them for even the most cutting-edge technology or equipment from the Xitria Empire.
After entering the points module, everyone immediately found the points balance displayed at the top of the interface, a total of 10 billion points!
You know, in the task module just now, the task with the highest point reward that you saw was just over 1 million points. You can imagine how valuable 10 billion points are.
In the exchange interface, there is a dazzling array of things to exchange, such as technology, battleships, resources, etc.!
"Ed, are all the teams you formed in place?"
Lin Zhen looked at Ed and asked.
"Well, except for Bai Zixuan, all of them are already in place. Bai Zixuan is in the middle of an important experiment and cannot leave immediately. It will take a week to arrive."
Speaking of which, Ed originally asked Bai Zixuan to give up the experiment and come over to deal with the matter first.
But Bai Zixuan's bad temper, let alone him, even Lin Zhen would not give him any face.
In the end, Ed had no choice but to agree to wait until his experiment was over before reporting back. He is now on the road and is expected to arrive in a week.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to redeem the points. Be sure to use every point wisely!"
"I understand!"
"President, look at this!"
Just when Lin Zhen handed over to Ed, a staff member shouted excitedly, drawing their attention to the alliance terminal again.
When they saw what was displayed above, they immediately understood the reason for the aide's excitement.
[Warp Interference Technology]
Technical level: Level 4 Civilization peak
Technical description: The jump device can be interfered with within a certain range, making it impossible for spacecraft within the range to enter the jump state.
Redeem points: 1 billion
[Warp Blockade Technology]
Technical level: Level 5 Civilization early stage
Technical description: It can block all jump behaviors within a certain range, force the jump path to pass through the spacecraft in this area, and exit the jump state outside the blocking range.
Redeem points: 2 billion
[Warp Blockade Countermeasure Technology]
Technical level: Level 5 Civilization early stage
Technical description: Paired with Warp Blockade Technology, the spacecraft will not be affected by Warp Interruption Device, only the paired Warp Interruption Device
Redeem points: 2 billion
Seeing these three technologies, Lin Zhen and Ed's eyes also lit up. It's impossible for them to not know what this means.
This is definitely a necessary technology for wars between advanced civilizations.
Especially Warp Blockade Technology and Warp Blockade Countermeasure Technology, which can be used to create a safe base camp so that the enemy cannot jump directly into the hinterland of the Federation.
This will put him in an extremely advantageous position in the future war with the Babawi Empire.
After all, Babawi Empire is just a vassal of the Vera Alliance, and it is unlikely that he can obtain such advanced technology.
Of course, it is not easy to create such an isolation zone. The introduction of this technology also clearly mentions that each Warp Interruption Device produced using this technology can only block a range of about 1 light-year.
If humans want to protect the entire territory, the project will be extremely huge, but if they only need to protect Star System, it is relatively easy. Only one such device for each Star System is enough.
"Ed, when Bai Zixuan comes, let him judge whether we can put this technology into practical use soon after getting it."
"Okay!"
After turning off the communication device, Lin Zhen looked at the staff, and an idea gradually matured in his mind.
"Everyone, after reading Xio Alliance's system, I have a new idea. Can we also build our own system?"
Build your own system? The staff were stunned!
"Everyone should know that there are tens of thousands of civilizations on Orion Arm alone. On the one hand, we cannot destroy every civilization. On the other hand, there are also some very potential existences among these civilizations. So, can we follow the system of the Xio Alliance and build an affiliated civilization platform?"
"In this case, we can conquer some civilizations with great potential as our own affiliated civilizations, and also issue tasks to them to reward them with points. The points can be used to exchange for various things. In this way, we can not only obtain a steady stream of resources, but also outsource part of the scientific research work?"
"For example, if there is a civilization that is not very good in other aspects, but its biological special skills are extremely advanced, then after we conquer them as our own subsidiary civilization, can we use them to feed back our own technology tree?"
After all, we can't develop all technological routes independently, right? Some branches and leaves on the technology tree can be outsourced!
Listening to Lin Zhen's words, everyone started thinking. I have to say that this plan is very tempting, and the benefits are very obvious.
Take the Xio Alliance terminal as an example. It seems that everyone cooperates and wins, but in fact the one who gets the most is Xitria Empire.
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the three transition-related technologies we just saw. It takes a full 5 billion points to redeem them. How much do you have to do for the Xitria Empire, and how many resources do you need to contribute to get the points?
The benefits obtained by the Xitria Empire here are very terrifying.
Especially in terms of technology, Xio Alliance will always release some scientific research projects. All it requires is to pay some points, and then you can obtain complete scientific and technological information.
This is the same as what the president said, scientific research outsourcing.
It's very exciting! It's very exciting! Everyone's eyes are shining.
