Trade City
According to the Star Sea Alliance's rules, new members must open up a city for tourism, visits, and to enhance understanding. This city also needs to be equipped with Quantum Communication Device to facilitate timely communication with other the Alliance members.
After all, when members of other ethnic groups come, their values and beliefs will differ, and it's inevitable that some illegal or criminal acts will occur. How to deal with them, whether to follow local laws or send them back to their mother tribe, will require a lot of communication, and it needs to be done in real time.
Although it's called a city, it's practically equivalent to an open planet, because a city is too small compared to the scale of trade between civilizations.
The city must be located on Ecological Star, so that visiting aliens only need to wear simple protective clothing and filter masks.
Most nascent civilizations occupy only one star system's territory. Unless they are extremely lucky, their Mother Planet may only have a Mother Planet Ecological Star. Opening a Trade City is equivalent to developing a portion of the Mother Planet. The Mother Planet is the essence of a nascent civilization, where the ruling class, scientific research personnel, and cutting-edge technology research and development laboratories are mostly concentrated.
The openness of the Mother Planet makes these people and places extremely vulnerable to attack, creating significant security risks. However, many years ago, the trading cities of nascent civilizations could have been located on those non- Ecological Star colonies.
But an accident changed everything. Without the obstruction of an atmosphere, the spacecraft could pass through near-Earth orbit and reach the surface of a planet.
An unknown force's spaceship, disguised as a foreign tourist transport ship, fooled the identification system of a newly established foreign trade city. Then, it crashed into the foreign trade city at an alarming speed.
Because the city was located on a non- Ecological Star colony, its outer defenses were protected by an oxygen-free environment and cosmic radiation. The impacting spaceship not only carried powerful kinetic energy but also a massive amount of explosives. The impact and explosion caused severe damage to the trading city. Although the trading city had some emergency measures in place, it was still unable to withstand such an attack.
Due to the pressure, the gas inside the trading city carried a large number of people and objects into space. Property loss was not a big deal, but the unprepared people did not have time to put on spacesuits. Under the multiple damages of extremely low temperature, lack of oxygen and cosmic radiation, there was almost no chance of survival.
To this day, the origins of the spaceship, their purpose, and why they attacked a trading city of a nascent civilization remain unclear. However, since then, the rules have been changed: trading cities of nascent civilizations must be located on Ecological Star.
Thus, ships traveling to the trading city must dock at Star Port in outer orbit, and then travel to the surface in small vessels. Moreover, on the Ecological Star, as long as the filter mask is not lost, there is almost no risk of natural death.
What happened in the past is not worth delving into. Although this is very unfriendly to a nascent civilization, there is nothing that can be done. After all, if one cannot resist, one can only join in.
The Riken Race could only choose to open up their Mother Planet, while the Swarm's territory far exceeded that of a normal new civilization, giving them more options.
After careful consideration, Rowan finally decided to locate the Swarm Trade City in the Sandstorm Star System. Between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock is the Riken Star System, at 2 o'clock is the Proxima Star System, at 4 o'clock is the Origin Star System, and between 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock is the Big Horn Star System.
Its 10 o'clock position is separated from the territory of the Duoqi Civilization by a star system, and its 7 to 9 o'clock position is also separated from the other members of the Alliance by a star system.
Overall, it is the outermost star system territory of the Swarm and the closest place to the Star Sea Alliance, making it ideal for maximizing the protection of the Swarm's privacy while adhering to the Alliance rules.
Aside from its star, the Sandstorm Star System has nine planets. The third planet is located in the habitable zone and is slightly larger than the Origin Star, but its biological evolution is still at the stage of single-celled organisms, making it a very primitive planet.
Rowan named this planet Wind God Planet in honor of the aerial overlord who made great contributions to the development of the Swarm. However, the Wind God combat unit was not phased out.
Because of its low body density, the Space Octopus's primary battlefield is in space. However, after several upgrades, the Wind God performs better in atmospheric combat than the Space Octopus, and is also cheaper to produce. Therefore, the Wind God remains in the Swarm's combat order to this day.
Because the Swarm doesn't have a strong need for ecological planets, and the species on Wind God Planet are still in a relatively primitive state and not very useful for reference, the Swarm hasn't really developed or built anything on Wind God Planet. Besides, the Swarm itself has no experience in building cities.
But this didn't stump Rowan. He could just dig a few more Crypt and connect them together, and that would be a city. The Swarm had always been quite primitive in its appearance, so the city should naturally maintain that style as well.
As for the rudimentary conditions, lack of high-tech assistance, poor experience, and inability to attract merchants and tourists, Rowan said that the Swarm didn't want to do any trade anyway, and it would be better if no one came.
Because the Binary Star Defense Line was relatively close to the Riken Mother Planet, the two Epoch Clan warships arrived at the Mother Planet first. The Riken Race had claimed a piece of land far from their capital and, in accordance with the Alliance's requirements, rebuilt a city.
The Star Sea Alliance currently has over two hundred member factions, with diverse races and appearances, including giants exceeding ten meters in height. Therefore, the original architectural standards of the Riken Race are insufficient to accommodate all the Alliance members. Although those giants might not visit for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, necessary reception facilities are still required. Otherwise, if a diplomatic dispute or racial discrimination were to occur at that crucial moment, it would be disastrous.
Fortunately, the Riken Race's technology level was relatively new within the Alliance, but building a city wasn't too difficult. For a civilization capable of colonizing outer space, quickly constructing a city was practically standard practice.
Over a hundred years ago, when the Riken Race invaded Proxima Centauri, they were able to establish numerous outposts and bases in a short period of time. Not to mention now, especially on their home turf.
A large number of alloy modules were dropped directly from the track. On the ground, construction machinery was already in place, responsible for leveling the land and some subsequent assembly work.
In just six months, the city had taken initial shape, and this was only because many modules had changed parameters and the construction team was unfamiliar with the process since it was their first time building such a complex.
During this period, the two Epoch Clan warships remained stationed in orbit around the Riken Mother Planet, overseeing the project.

Sorry everyone, I forgot to take the milk I bought at the supermarket when I got home, and it sat in the car all day. With the temperature here, the car is probably around 40-50 degrees Celsius during the day, and being close to the expiration date, it probably spoiled a little. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I drank a bottle, and then I fell ill. I didn't go to the hospital, relying on my own immunity to get through the day, and I'm feeling a bit better today. Since I've run out of drafts, I'm shamelessly asking for a day off. Please forgive me.
