    "Ah! It's such a pity that you don't want it!" the customer service girl sighed in disappointment.  "Unless I'm crazy, I will take out a loan for consultation," Zhu Runfa rolled his eyes, "Sister, you seem to care about this kind of technical consultation?" "Of course, because there is a commission," the customer service girl said seriously  Said, "The industrial use of gold will only be discovered in the sixth-level civilization, and it will be truly perfected in the eleventh-level civilization. Answering this technical question requires 50 trillion star coins, and I can get a one-time commission of 100 billion star coins. Ah.  Ahhh, I¡¯m going crazy, why don¡¯t you ask me for my commission? You actually asked me to borrow a loan shark for your commission?  This customer service girl is too shady.  Zhu Runfa broke out in a cold sweat and his face was dark. Then he went crazy and asked: "You need a commission? You are an intelligent customer service program, eldest sister! You can't eat or drink, don't you?"  I still want to get married. " "Of course it will work." The customer service girl said plausibly, "With ten thousand star coins, you can have a three-dimensional image, with one hundred thousand star coins, you can have a robotic body, and with ten million star coins, you can have a machine body.  You can have an advanced robot body, and people with one billion star coins can transform into living creatures. People with 100 billion star coins can also serve as lower-level management of the interstellar Taobao black market. Dear, do you really not want to do technical consulting?  Just help others. At most, they will marry you. " "Uh! I will help you when I can. We are all poor now and we really can't afford this loan." Zhu Runfa broke out in a cold sweat and shuddered.  Haha, I thought it would be a pity for this girl not to sell insurance.  Changing the topic casually, "But that's not right. Even if gold is used for industrial purposes, the purchasing power of this star currency will not be so strong, right? Civilizations below level 6 still don't need industrial gold. Hiss, here's what's going on  I always feel like something is wrong." Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and said, "Draw me a level 5 civilized battleship at random." "Whoa" a level 5 main battleship appeared on the wall.  "1, 2, 3, 4how many 0's are this?" Zhu Runfa was a little dizzy, "Customer service girl, help me convert the star coins into gold, and then use tons as the unit.  " 700 tons of gold. " It's really not expensive. Converted to US dollars, based on the cost of one aircraft carrier of 6 billion US dollars, it is actually about the cost of five or six aircraft carriers.  But this is the main battleship of the fifth-level civilization. Even if it is sold to people on earth at a price of 10,000 times, some people will probably buy it.  Well, of course the premise is that there is so much gold," Zhu Runfa rubbed his chin and thought, "I want to change to a top-notch battleship of the tenth level civilization. I want to take a look.  " "Shua!  "A battleship appeared on the wall. The most eye-catching thing is not the cool scummy battleship itself and the data of the bunker, but the densely packed 0s under the battleship that make people suffer from trypophobia. Zhu Runfa is cold  He smiled: "Customer service girl, convert it into gold and use tons as the unit.  " "Shua!  "Only 9 of the pile of 0s were left, 1,000,000,000 tons of gold for each warship. Sure enough! Zhu Run laughed. This is a typical trade trap, a trap that extremely squeezes lower civilizations. The thing is actually  It's very simple. The purchasing power of star coins seems to be high, and the purchasing power of gold also seems to be high, but this is actually an illusion. Just think about the gold production of the earth. It is estimated that the gold production of the entire earth in history.  Only 20,000 tons. The total gold reserves of the earth are almost 4.7 billion tons. Twenty thousand tons of gold sounds like a lot. When converted into star coins, it is definitely a large number. It can buy less than thirty level five battleships.  , but for the level 10 warship just now, it is probably not enough to even paint it. And even if the earth is melted and all the gold is extracted, 4.7 billion tons will only be enough to buy four and a half level 10 ships.  The spaceships of civilizations do look cheap, but that is not simply due to technological backwardness, but because these civilizations have already spent all their gold-like hard currency on Taobao.  They lavishly exchange hard currency for star coins, buy all the goods at seemingly extremely favorable prices, and happily watch their civilization rapidly improve, as if they have inexhaustible star coins. But in the end, they will suddenly.  It was hard to find that since then, they had no hard currency to exchange for star coins. What should they do now? They had no choice but to start selling their industrial products at a low price on Taobao, just to get the money they needed.  Star coins for purchasing high-end products. However, the technical level of these industrial products on the interstellar Taobao black market is very limited, and the competition is unimaginably fierce, so it is conceivable that the prices of these industrial products are definitely higher than the actual prices.  The store is countless times cheaper. It can be said to be a real loss-making business, just to earn enough star coins. If you have to do this kind of behavior.To put it metaphorically, it's like China's frantic export of resources to earn foreign exchange in the 1980s and 1990s, in order to use foreign exchange to purchase advanced equipment and technology abroad.  So where is all the hard currency?  There is no doubt that it was of course earned by advanced civilizations using cheap but relatively high-tech industrial products.  Big fish eat small fish, it is such a simple technical squeeze.  But don¡¯t those civilizations know this truth? If the Earthlings of level 0 civilization can see it, can¡¯t the aliens of level 1 civilization not see it?  The answer is: they probably didn¡¯t know it at first.  They were completely misled by the abundance of cheap high-tech products, thinking that the price of advanced civilization was the same. However, it was not until later that they discovered that this was a huge pit, but at that time, there was no turning back.  Because they are different from Zhu Runfa, Zhu Runfa has the special advantage of being able to go to the interstellar homepage and any sub-system, and he can overlook the entire interstellar Taobao system from a higher angle.  Comparing from bottom to top, he could easily see the huge price difference between high-level civilization and low-level civilization, and the tricks in it were clearly visible.  Not only do these level 1 civilizations not have this preferential treatment, but they are also subject to trade barriers. The most they can see are products from level 2 and level 3 civilizations.  However, level 2 and level 3 products are also squeezed at the bottom in the interstellar Taobao black market system, and their product prices are actually only limitedly higher than those of level 1 civilizations.  This gives a level 1 civilization an illusion: things on the interstellar Taobao black market are very cheap, and the purchasing power of star coins is very strong.  As everyone knows, after the civilization rose later, they could no longer use the hard currency to exchange for interstellar coins to buy anything, so they had to vomit blood and sell industrial products on interstellar Taobao.  ¡°Just like Zhu Yunfa, if he didn¡¯t have that preferential treatment, he would definitely feel it was cheap, and it was so cheap that it was crazy.  Think about it, an interstellar gunship, which is enough to wipe out all the regimes on the earth, is only sold for 30 star coins, which only costs about 8,000 yuan in RMB. What is the difference between this and picking it up for free?  The pie falling from the sky is simply a mountain of gold.  But think about it on the other hand, if Zhu Runfa really gets mad and thinks about addicting the emperor, he directly transforms into a conqueror of the earth and seizes the earth by force with an interstellar gunship purchased for 8,000 yuan.  So after unifying the earth, what will he do in order to effectively rule the earth?  There is no doubt that in order to prevent the people from resisting, he will collect enough gold as soon as possible and then buy more powerful warships.  And because he has enough gold, he will definitely buy only the best level 3 warships like a rich man (due to the existence of trade barriers, he cannot apply to purchase level 4 goods until he reaches level 3 civilization, so he cannot buy better ones)  .  However, he will soon find that he has no money, and then he will find that these warships are too advanced and no one will use them. (There is a gap of tens of thousands of years from the earth, and a huge amount of technology is needed to  To make up for the generation gap), he had no choice but to go mining again and exchange star coins for technology and goods.  Finally, one day, he finished digging the mine and made up for the gap, but all the hard currency was spent.  At this time, he will suddenly find that it has become extremely difficult to upgrade his civilization level and enter a higher Taobao system.  Rely on your own technical staff?  Sorry, because technology is improving so fast, the smartest scientists in the world have jumped off the building because they can't bear the heavy learning pressure.  Ordinary people, faced with knowledge that cannot be learned in thousands of years, cannot express interest in learning at all. Even if they are interested, they cannot learn.  Therefore, he can only earn star coins by selling cheap industrial products produced by automatic factories, just like China used to sell shirts to earn foreign exchange. After selling for hundreds of millions of years, he will eventually prosper.  But what if a slightly higher interstellar civilization attacks?  Well, I guess I only have to apply for a Taobao loan, and then because I can't repay this kind of loan shark - since I dare to issue loans, the interstellar Taobao black market is not afraid of someone defaulting on the loan - and in the end I have to sell myself to repay the loan.  Zhu Runfa savored this truth over and over again for a long time, and became more and more frightened that the oppression of this interstellar Taobao black market is no less cruel than the oppression of physical civilizations, and even exceeds it to some extent, but the method of oppression of this interstellar black market is more subtle.  That¡¯s all.  At the same time, he also began to rejoice that he had received several discounts and could access the homepage and sub-systems. Then the civilization barriers did not exist for him, and hiding the civilization level allowed him to trade equally with advanced civilizations without having to  Afraid of being cheated by the other party.  "I am lucky to get this interstellar Taobao black market client," Zhu Runfa murmured to himself thoughtfully, "but the evolution of civilization is a matter for the entire Chinese people. Some bottom lines must be guarded, otherwise it will become a problem in a few years.  It has become the sweatshop of advanced civilization." This guy has automatically excluded other people on earth.  ¡­However, if you think about it carefully, he is actually right. 1.3 billion people or 7 billion people actually make no difference to the continuation of the entire human race on earth.?? According to research, if the Chinese people liberalize family planning, the population will increase by 600 million within ten years. This is due to the heavy economic pressure of modern society.  If the people of the whole country show the same enthusiasm as when they were just liberated, and have seven, eight or even a dozen children in a family, it is estimated that the entire earth will be flooded with people in less than thirty years.  So Zhu Runfa's thinking is definitely not racial discrimination, but it really does not require other people to participate, except of course scientists.     Well!  It seems to be too far away. For the current hanging silk Zhu Runfa, this kind of topic about the improvement of civilization and the concern for the country and the people seems too unreasonable.  For him, the most important thing now is how to earn gold, and now he doesn't even have a golden hair on his body.  Moreover, buying a battleship directly is a bit too scary. Although it only costs 8,000 yuan, no one will use it. Let¡¯s talk about it later.  "Uh! Customer service girl, can I buy things on credit on Star Taobao?" Zhu Runfa said with a slight blush, "I can definitely pay you back for less than thirty star coins. It only takes a few hours. I can go there at dawn.  "Buy gold." "Of course, dear!" the customer service girl said, "You just have to pay interest, 25% interest rate, daily payment." "Oh! It's so dark," Zhu Runfa said helplessly.  Why don't you borrow a loan from a loan shark? The interest rate is only 20%.  If you don¡¯t have it at the time, you can only buy it on credit. ¡°Okay! I won¡¯t buy it from the head office!¡± Zhu Runfa shrugged, ¡°Let me buy it now when I have gold to exchange for star coins.  You can buy small items. These are all spaceships. I don¡¯t have anywhere to put them. Isn¡¯t there a small item in this interstellar Taobao black market? " "Of course, you can set the size filter.  " "Okay! Let me think about it, what should I search for?" Zhu Runfa muttered while thinking about it. "Since the purchasing power of gold is not low, let's look at diamonds and see what the price is. If they are cheap, then sell them in large quantities.  Just send it. The customer service girl helped me search for diamonds. "Oh!" There are no products on the wall.  There is only one comment: The value of the product you are searching for is too low, and the interstellar Taobao black market removed it from the shelves 20 billion years ago.  If you really have a need, you can post a purchase request for free and mark the quantity and specifications. Star Taobao members will not let you down.  "The value is too low?" Zhu Runfa was stunned, "This the value of diamonds is so low that it is not even worthy of inclusion?" "Diamonds are a form of carbon element. They can be manufactured artificially by a level 0 civilization.  There is no industrial value or other value above the level of civilization,¡± the customer service girl said, ¡°Only in the early days of the interstellar Taobao black market, there were low-level civilizations for sale as decorations, but they were removed from the shelves because there was no market.¡± ¡°Okay! Can I just post a purchase request?  Post it?" Zhu Runfa said depressedly, "If you want to buy it, you must buy it. If the price is too high, it won't be interesting." "Dear! Don't think about it. How many of the things you want to buy are cheap?" The customer service girl said, "I have a suggestion.  Oh!" "Tell me about it!" The customer service girl laughed triumphantly: "Hey, is it any good?" "Oh, sister! Are you mutated or poisoned?" Zhu Runfa immediately went crazy.  Smart program, you are actually asking me for a bribe? " "Okay! Don't worry about the details," the customer service girl said with a smile, "I just browsed the earth's network and found that a lot of information on the earth is very complementary to my smart program.  I didn¡¯t know how to say it just now. Hehe! It¡¯s a little cool. So what can you do for me? Otherwise, I have to study it carefully before replying!  He was as black as the ashes at the bottom of a pot, and his heart was full of grief and indignation, "What a corrupt official! What a girl with an alien intelligent program, who was taught to ask for bribes less than an hour after she was activated on the earth. Can this still allow people to live a good life?"  Yes. "
