Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Ho Eun-14.

...exactly.

It's from Horn-14 to Soller-3, which is the solar system, in a certain starry sky halfway through the universe.

A chaotic fleet is sailing at a constant speed.

In the area covered by the hyperspace channel blocking site, even the starry sky seemed to be a bit dimmer.

The light from distant celestial bodies seems to become obscured out of thin air when it reaches here.

So much so that these interstellar ships, which were of various models and arranged in a loose formation, looked inconspicuous in the dark void.

...but.

wherever they pass.

A straight, blank track left behind as it passes through interstellar dust clouds.

Still exposed their existence.

It was like a string of small footprints on the snow.

Slowly but surely, he sailed towards the "uninhabited star area" that was classified as a "civilized desert" by the Fire Reef countries.

In the center of the fleet formation, there is a 'Cross Dagger' class light cruiser with thick armor that does not match its class.

The Wade family, from the colony planet of Hoen-3, a trading giant, has been sailing in No Man's Sky for several weeks.

There were no words, no surprises, no dangers along the way.

...Of course, it’s from their point of view.

With their level of science and technology, they naturally have no way of knowing.

From the first moment they entered Hoen-14, all the refugees, including himself, were already under the surveillance of the empire.

Information warfare, information warfare in the interstellar era, is often "moisturizing and silent".

Unlike the era of pre-interstellar civilization, there would be fighter planes equipped with electronic warfare pods cruising all over the sky, and there would be snowflakes all over the screen to make radar operators scratch their heads.

After all, based on the scale of the interstellar era, it is not something that anti-radiation missiles can successfully overcome.

The confrontation remains entirely in the virtual realm.

If the information field is powerful enough, you may be able to scan some clues through professional anti-reconnaissance equipment.

thereby increasing vigilance.

But the other way around.

A civilization with insufficient strength doesn't even know that it is being targeted.

This is the more common situation.

The Wade family, who fled with the whole family, young and old, did not know that they were slowly driving into the tiger's mouth.

Little did he know that along the way, almost everyone's words and deeds on the ship, as well as their sleep talk and complaints, were all being monitored by others.

I'm still thinking about how to communicate and break the ice with the "powerful indigenous civilization".

I have been researching this issue along the way.

There were even rehearsals for their imaginary diplomatic situations.

Many people have even dreamed of being 'regarded as guests of the natives', 'appointed as special envoys on interstellar relations', or even simply 'entrusted with important responsibilities for diplomacy and foreign trade'.

——Just like their ancestors who came all the way from other counties to Hoen-3, they relied on selling knowledge, selling technology, and acting as middlemen in exchange for status, power, and wealth.

The desire for the latter is almost engraved in their bones.

The awareness and instinct of the Windhorn people about trade and communication are almost the same.

...There is one thing to say.

These aliens are also quite interesting.

The Wind Horn tribe has never been famous for their fighting power or cohesion. On the contrary, they are quite famous in the business community of the entire Star Territory. It is obviously not without reason.

They are the kind of players who 'If they want to talk, they will arrive as soon as possible; if they want to fight, they will kneel down as soon as possible'.

Su Wen was also amused by these guys when he occasionally took the time to read the messages handed down below.

- A bunch of intergalactic soap people.

...Of course, compared to soap people, their characters are more peaceful.

Not that extreme.

In this aspect, it's actually more like the Saracens - but... well, the Saracens seem to be quite extreme.

...That's what it means anyway.

A nation whose awareness of trade and business is engraved in their bones and has become instinctive.

But it is very weak externally.

He is not as extreme as Soap Man, who kills people indiscriminately and commits mass graves at every turn;

Nor is it like the Saracens who shout, 'A book in one hand and a sword in the other; those who believe in me are brothers, those who do not believe in me will die';

Highlight a weakness.

So weak that it hardly poses a threat.

In Su Wen's eyes, they are similar to plankton in the interstellar world.

...Of course, that's a good thing.

Being weak means easy to control.

Unable to resist.

Even Khan is not a fatal threat to the current empire, let alone such a small fish and shrimp.

——To be honest, the overall strength of the empire is still stronger than that of the Khan tribe.

The reason for being so cautious is simply because Su Wen doesn't like casualties.

Any higher than evenly matched counts as a victory.

But being 'slightly better' and then suffering heavy casualties was also not the victory he wanted.

Just like China today.

Lao Chu also knows the current capabilities of the Chinese military.

With hundreds of thousands of elite troops, it is possible to defeat the millions of warcraft aliens in the remaining occupied areas, including territorial waters.

But if you don’t carefully deploy tactics, don’t ask for more equipment support, and don’t advance slowly and cautiously...

If they just rush up like that in a swarm of swarms.

Even if they can be defeated, the casualty rate will be at least half.

Yes, from an objective point of view, no matter how heavy the casualties are, as long as the enemy is eliminated, this is victory.

But if this deduction comes true...

That would make all the big guys in the center angry to death!

Fighting is not just about drawing a box and f2a.

The old proverb "A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength" describes the survival of predators in nature who "try to reduce casualties as much as possible, so that if it really hurts themselves, they would rather not do anything" wisdom.

Therefore, Su Wencai did not hesitate to turn to these strange and somewhat funny characters from the Wind Horn tribe:

Their weakness allows the empire to completely gain the upper hand when opening conditions.

It's easy to squeeze out any useful value from them.

Moreover, their business instincts undoubtedly make them very familiar with the trade network of the Fire Reef Star Territory.

In a star field, the person who is most familiar with the local waterway information,

In addition to the transport personnel in the inter-galactic logistics stations of various galaxies.

Of course they are business people.

...In fact, the businessman's understanding needs to be more comprehensive.

——Logistics companies may not be as 'dirty' as they are!

A businessman, especially a businessman.

They all step on the edge of black and white.

This was true in the classical era, it was true in the pre-interstellar era, and it is still true in the interstellar era.

At a lighter level, it's just bribery.

Even if Su Wen is as clean and self-sufficient as Su Wen, he still had to attend various business events in his previous life.

Running business and not inviting people to eat, drink, KTV or wash their feet is simply a joke.

He doesn't want to, but how can a social animal not want to!

Sales is not a human job.

Drinking with you, singing with you, washing your feet, just sleeping with you.

...Of course, there is someone to sleep with.

Things like this are commonplace in any civilized society.

The interstellar era is no exception.

But that's just light.

Trading for power and secret bribery can be said to be on the edge of the white road.

It is also something that is 'prohibited on the surface but is unwritten common sense behind the scenes'.

If it's heavier...

That's serious smuggling, illegal goods, and even some things that are even more unexplainable.

Especially smuggling.

Eleven out of ten chambers of commerce and companies in the interstellar era engage in smuggling.

...The extra one is the person they help to take care of the political circles of the government.

With free ports all over the world and pirates running around the world, it would be a joke for merchants to want to stay away from this.

Just looking at the remaining ten or twenty points that can bypass tariffs, no one can refuse such a temptation!

Of course, it is also for the sake of the tariff revenue, which starts at ten o'clock and does not amount to more than twenty or thirty o'clock.

In any galaxy, there is no doubt about the intensity of the authorities' customs enforcement against smuggling.

In such a high-intensity 'hide-and-seek' confrontation, these unclean businessmen are like moles in the ground.

What an outrageous secret route can be developed by them.

Especially in hyperspace.

And now...

What Su Wen needs is their talent.
