Chapter 382 Resource Allocation Dispute
The smooth implementation of the economic recovery plan requires a large amount of resources as support, which cover all aspects, from precious energy minerals to special materials for infrastructure construction, from rare elements required for scientific research to basic materials for people's livelihood. However, the resources in the universe are not inexhaustible, especially under the impact of the economic crisis, many resources have become increasingly scarce, which has further amplified the existing differences in interests between different civilizations and planets.
Due to differences in their own development levels, population sizes, industrial structures and other factors, the needs and reliance on resources of various civilizations and planets vary greatly. Some civilizations with highly developed technology require a large amount of rare metals and special energy for their scientific research and high-end manufacturing industries. For example, the development of quantum engines requires a crystal called "star crystal", which can only be found in the remains of specific stellar explosions. Civilizations with such research and development capabilities have a huge demand for "star crystals" because they are key resources for promoting technological breakthroughs and further enhancing their competitiveness in the universe.
Civilizations that are primarily agricultural are more concerned with resources used to improve soil fertility and irrigation systems. They need large amounts of water element concentrates and special minerals that can promote plant growth. In the context of economic recovery, they hope to obtain sufficient resources to upgrade agricultural technology and increase food production to meet the needs of the planet's population, and may also participate in interstellar food trade to gain economic benefits.
For those planets with scarce resources but large populations, basic living materials such as energy, food and medical supplies have become the focus of their competition. These planets have suffered a serious blow in the economic crisis, with soaring unemployment rates and social unrest. The limited resources are far from meeting the basic living needs of the people. Therefore, they are extremely sensitive and radical in the issue of resource allocation, and regard resources as the key to maintaining social stability and survival.
In this dispute over resource allocation, the dispute first broke out over the allocation of interstellar energy resources. As the lifeblood of the cosmic economy, the importance of energy is self-evident. In the economic recovery plan, whether it is the construction of new infrastructure, the restart of interstellar trade or the development of scientific and technological innovation, it is inseparable from the support of energy.
Some civilizations located in the center of the star system have long dominated the collection of stellar energy by virtue of their geographical advantages. They have advanced energy collection technology and large-scale collection facilities, which can convert the huge energy released by stars into usable energy forms. However, with the implementation of the economic recovery plan, the demand for energy from other civilizations and planets has increased dramatically, and they have demanded a redistribution of the share of stellar energy collection.
Some small civilizations at the edge of the interstellar channel have united to protest against this unfair energy distribution. They pointed out that during the economic crisis, the central civilization over-exploited energy in order to protect its own interests, resulting in an imbalance in the energy market and price fluctuations, which brought huge losses to other civilizations. Now, at a critical time for economic recovery, this unreasonable situation cannot be allowed to continue. They demand the establishment of a fair energy distribution mechanism to allocate energy collection shares according to the actual needs and development potential of each civilization and planet.
The central civilization believes that they have invested a lot of resources and time in energy collection technology to have the current dominant position. In addition, the construction and maintenance costs of energy collection facilities are high. If the distribution mechanism is easily changed, it will have a serious impact on their economic and technological development. They emphasize that other civilizations should improve energy efficiency or develop new energy resources through their own efforts, rather than trying to divide their interests.
This dispute reached a climax at the interstellar parliament's energy allocation meeting. The atmosphere at the meeting was tense, and representatives from all sides spoke fiercely. The representative of the marginal civilization said emotionally: "We can no longer struggle in the dark. Energy is our basic right to survive and develop. You cannot monopolize resources because of your own advantages. This is a violation of fairness and justice in the entire universe." The representative of the central civilization responded strongly: "Our technology and investment guarantee our due share. If you redistribute it according to your request, it will be a plunder of the fruits of our labor and will undermine the stable development of the entire energy industry."
In addition to energy resources, the distribution of special materials for infrastructure construction has also triggered fierce competition. In the economic recovery plan, the upgrade of the interstellar transportation network and the construction of cities on various planets require a large amount of special materials such as high-strength alloys and space-stabilizing materials.
Some industrially advanced civilizations control the main production technologies and resource sources of these special materials. They almost monopolized the market for these materials through acquisitions and integration during the economic crisis. However, as the economic recovery plan was fully launched, the demand for these materials from other civilizations and planets increased dramatically. Those civilizations responsible for infrastructure construction asked industrial civilizations to increase the supply of materials and lower the price.
Industrial civilization expressed embarrassment, pointing out that during the economic crisis, they had to bear huge economic pressure to maintain production. Although the economy has recovered, the cost of material production is still high, and the improvement of production capacity requires time and a lot of capital investment. If the supply is increased blindly and the price is lowered, it may lead to corporate losses or even bankruptcy, which is also not conducive to the entire economic recovery plan.
The dispute over resource allocation also involves the competition for scientific research resources. All civilizations have realized that scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force of economic recovery, so the demand for rare elements and advanced equipment required for scientific research is unprecedentedly high.
Some civilizations with strong scientific research capabilities hope to have priority access to these resources. They believe that only they are capable of carrying out difficult scientific research projects, and the success of these projects will bring huge benefits to the entire universe. For example, the study of dark matter energy requires a rare ore called "Psionic Minerals", and only a few civilizations have the right to mine this ore. These civilizations hope to concentrate "Psionic Minerals" on their own scientific research projects to speed up research progress.
However, other civilizations expressed strong dissatisfaction with this. They believed that scientific research results should be a wealth shared by the entire universe, and that resources should not be monopolized just because a civilization has strong scientific research capabilities. They demanded the establishment of a fair scientific research resource allocation mechanism so that all civilizations have the opportunity to participate in key scientific research projects and jointly promote the advancement of cosmic technology.
In this fierce competition and game, the relationship between different civilizations and planets has become increasingly tense. Some civilizations have even adopted some improper means to compete for resources. In interstellar trade, there have been phenomena such as resource smuggling and trade blockades. In order to protect their own resources, some planets have strengthened border defenses and even expelled resource exploration teams from other civilizations. These actions have further exacerbated the tension in the universe, and the economic recovery plan has been seriously hindered.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan are deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem. They understand that if the dispute over resource allocation is not properly resolved, the economic recovery plan will come to naught and the universe will fall into chaos and decline again. So they began to actively coordinate the interests of all parties and find a resource allocation plan that can balance the needs of different civilizations and planets. This is an arduous task that requires them to shuttle and mediate in a complex political, economic and cultural environment, just like finding a path to peace and development in a thorny bush.
