After a pause, Hua Ya Nini couldn't help but say, "But speaking of which, that official from the Imperial Ministry of Commerce is really going all out. He actually couldn't even bring out a T6-level interstellar warship."

They have absolutely no concern that this cutting-edge technology will be leaked.

Hua Ya Lanlan thought for a moment and said, "There are only a few possible explanations for this situation."

The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has absolute confidence in its technological superiority. Even if it hands over its existing interstellar warships to others, it believes that those others will not be able to fully understand its interstellar warship technology.

Another reason is that their own technological development speed far exceeds the speed at which others catch up.

This can be seen from the technological development of the Dragon Star Empire. When they jumped from the T2 technology level to the T3 level, it only took them a few months.

It took less than ten years to go from T3 level to T6 level.

Ten years is but a fleeting moment for other interstellar empires.

However, in the rising Dragon Star Empire, there has been a dramatic change.

If the Dragon Star Empire can maintain this pace of development, then they really don't need to worry about anything, let alone replicate the previous changes.

If they can acquire true T7-level technology within ten years, that will be enough!

After all, for other interstellar civilizations, it would be extremely difficult to break through to T6 technology civilization in such a short period of time, let alone T7 technology civilization.

Therefore, as a technologically advanced interstellar civilization, as long as it maintains this technological lead, what's wrong with releasing some outdated technologies?

Those backward interstellar civilizations could never catch up.

The worst-case scenario is that the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, having reached a point of no return in its battle against the Devouring Civilization, has no choice but to pay a price.

By using their core technologies, they can attract others to invest resources in them, thereby increasing their chances of winning in the subsequent duel.

After all, what good is possessing all that T6 technology if you lose the duel?

After hearing her sister's analysis, Hua Ya Nini exclaimed, "No wonder she was chosen by Emperor Xiaolong to be the Minister of Commerce of the Empire. To make such an arrangement, she truly has great courage!"

Then, Huaya Nini added, "And there's this second one from the Imperial Ministry of Commerce."

During the period when the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is at war, interstellar forces that supply resources, raw materials, and semi-finished products to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire may sign agreements to delay payments or pay at half price if they wish.

After the war ends, they will receive a loan with interest, and will also receive some corresponding cooperation agreements.

This second point seems ordinary, giving the impression of buying on credit.

However, compared to the first item, war bonds, the second item covers a wider range because the first item has some characteristics of forced buying and selling.

For some factions that don't need to purchase the Dragon Star Empire's interstellar warships, this is a useless clause.

In contrast, this second clause is more suitable for the vast majority of small and medium-sized interstellar civilizations, because it gives them room to weigh their own strength and capabilities.

If you want to get more benefits from the Dragon Star Empire in the future, then accept the terms of credit. If you can't accept that, then there are different levels such as 30%, 50%, and 70% upfront.

It can meet everyone's needs.

This would greatly reduce the logistical pressure on the Dragon Star Empire during the war.

To the best of my knowledge, more than half of the interstellar civilizations that supply raw materials to the Wyvern Interstellar Empire have signed supplementary agreements in this regard.

"I understand the benefits of this clause, but why would so many interstellar powers be willing to accept it?"

"Isn't the principle of 'it's best to secure your gains'?" Hua Ya Nini asked, realizing something she didn't understand.

Hua Ya Lanlan replied, "That's because you only saw the benefits, but didn't see the metaphors involved."

This appears to be a mutually agreeable agreement, but the Dragon Star Empire also subtly harbors a threat within it.

After all, the interstellar forces that previously signed supply agreements with the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire generally had terms ranging from one to three years.

To my knowledge, prior to this, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had never signed an agreement with a term exceeding three years.

In other words, whether or not the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is willing to renew the relevant agreement with you three years later is entirely up to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire itself.

Some might question whether this statement is too definitive, asking why it's entirely up to the Dragon Star Empire to decide.

Can't we discuss it?

To discuss?

Hehehe.

Do those interstellar powers have the qualifications to negotiate with the Dragon Star Empire?

Currently, among all known civilizations in the universe, it can be said that over 70% of small and medium-sized resource-extracting interstellar powers and over 90% of military component manufacturing enterprises rely on order agreements with the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire for survival.

Given this situation, besides the Dragon Star Empire, are there any other interstellar powers with such a great need in this area?

Moreover, do these interstellar powers possess exclusive or unique resources or production technologies?

Is it that without them, the Dragon Star Empire cannot find a replacement?

No!

No!

Therefore, if I were that Minister of Commerce, I would secretly keep a record of the accounts.

I might not remember those that signed war treaties.

But I will remember clearly those who did not sign the war agreement.

Do you want to renew the cooperation agreement after it expires?

"Hehehe, even if you offered me a 30% discount, I still wouldn't renew the contract, let alone under the current terms!"

As Hua Ya Lanlan spoke, her tone and manner made it seem as if she were the Minister of Commerce of the Empire.

His gaze was filled with disdain.

Hanaya Nini understood the reasoning behind it all. She felt as if she were looking down on everyone as an incredibly domineering giant stood there.

It's telling everyone that even if I'm standing on the edge of a cliff now, you guys still have to behave.

These agreements, which appear to be negotiations and cooperation, are in reality all pledges of allegiance!

They have no choice but to agree.

"Think about this point: in this third clause, there is a clause for the voluntary agreement to postpone all export agreements of the Dragon Star Empire."

I think this needs no further explanation, right?

You can choose to disagree, but from this day forward, this will be our first collaboration.

Moreover, it's not just about the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. You have to understand what the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire represents now.

It's the Universal Trade Alliance!

It is the most powerful military interstellar civilization among known cosmic civilizations!

Under these circumstances, as long as the policies and terms introduced by the Dragon Empire at this time are not too excessive, then the various interstellar civilizations will have no reason to refuse!

The three policy provisions that have just been introduced clearly show that the person in charge of the Business Department of the Dragon Star Empire has grasped this point!

"Perfect timing!" Hua Ya Lanlan said, her eyes filled with admiration.

The person they admired was naturally the Minister of Commerce of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

"But speaking of which, sister, do you think the Dragon Star Empire can win this oath duel?" Hua Ya Nini asked this question with a clear hint of worry.

This concern may stem from their personal relationship with Emperor Dragon.

It's also possible that the cooperation between the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group, the Fairy Flower Federation Tribe, and the Dragon Owl Interstellar Empire is now completely intertwined.

The two sides are now in a relationship where they are bound together by fortune and misfortune.

"Thinking about these things is useless."

We just need to do what we're supposed to do.

We are now in the same boat as the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. Once the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire ceases to exist, the status and power it has given us will vanish.

The Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, a edifice built on the back of a giant, will also collapse directly.

"So from now on, all we need to do is fully support the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire." After saying this, Huaya Lanlan asked, "Have all our project plans to support the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire been finalized?"

"Everything has been decided and has been transmitted to the Business Department of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."

First, we signed a five-year, 10,000-star-coin Imperial War Bond with the Dragon Star Empire, which is almost all the wealth we have on hand right now.

After that, we added some supplementary clauses to all the cooperation agreements we had signed with the Dragon Star Empire.

The terms and conditions stipulate that all payments under these cooperation agreements can be deferred for one to three years, with the specific timeframe to be arranged by the Dragon Star Empire.

In addition, all fees that need to be paid to us have been deferred.

In short, aside from ensuring the basic operation of our Bailan Interstellar Trade Group for the next three years, all the agreements we've drafted have been invested in this war against the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Hearing what Huaya Nini said, Huaya Lanlan nodded in satisfaction and then said, "That's good. This is the time when the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is fighting with its back against the wall."

This will also be a time of doom for us. If the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire prospers, we prosper; if the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire perishes, we perish.

Hua Ya Nini nodded emphatically.

At this moment, situations like this frequently occur among known civilizations in the universe.

But the impacts are not limited to these.

At this moment, at a space military alliance base somewhere within the Mahas Interstellar Empire.

King Onyrons of the Kaguya Elf Kingdom glanced at some of the reports from today, frowned slightly, and then looked at Dr. Peng beside him: "Are you sure that the recent signs of white holes are very likely?"

Dr. Peng took out several data reports, which contained scientific texts that ordinary people could not understand.

Dr. Peng said, "This is based on the results observed using our current technology."

There are indeed signs of a white hole appearing.

However, we cannot be certain about this timing.

Because the "recent" we're referring to is from the perspective of cosmic time, specifically from the perspective of a white hole.

Upon hearing the scientists use these terms, the Elf King Onyneus of Kaguya asked directly and bluntly, "Stop with the fluff, I'm asking you directly."

Approximately how long ago is "nearest" for us?

"Three months to five years," Dr. Peng stated a time range directly.

Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, frowned. He had considered that there might be a significant difference in time, but he hadn't expected it to be this large.

Three months to five years... Does this mean they've been on high alert for five years, all for this white hole that could appear at any moment?

"Is there no way to make the time more precise?" King Onyne of Kaguya asked seriously.

Dr. Peng shook his head and said, "There's really no way to fix this."

The phenomenon of the white hole appearing is clearly man-made, so once everything is ready, the other party can choose when to activate the white hole within a certain range.

This timeframe is exactly three months to five years.

However, if they actually activate the black hole, we will be able to detect it.

"What is the reaction time?" King Onyne of Kaguya immediately asked.

"Twenty-four hours," Dr. Peng stated.

24 hours.

This is the reaction time for one day.

This may seem like a long time, but to Onyrons, the current King of the Elves, it seems incredibly short.

Because it is extremely difficult for him to mobilize a large number of legionary fleets to prepare for an invasion within a single day.

The enemy is very likely to be a powerful conqueror civilization, and once those guys show up, the outcome is predictable.

It will inevitably carry the momentum of destruction.

If the first wave of attacks is not held, their current defensive lines will collapse rapidly like dominoes, resulting in a dam-like collapse.

At that time, it will be completely impossible for many interstellar civilizations to establish another defensive line to resist the invasion of the conqueror civilization.

Therefore, they only have one chance for this invasion.

Only once!

"As expected, those guys acted on the rumors, seizing the opportunity presented by the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire's vow duel." The Night Elf King Onyons rarely showed a helpless expression.

Interestingly, he had always been resistant to the Dragon Emperor before.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the first person he thought of was that man.

That man has become his greatest hope now.
