Chapter 174 The Extravagant Federation
"In fact, I have already made plans for the economy."
"Yan Xia, you don't understand this aspect. In fact, it is easy for the Federation to save a lot of energy."
Ella's face was a little hesitant, as if she was wondering whether to tell Yan Xia the root cause of the economic disaster of the Federation.
"Oh?"
"How to save it?"
Yan Xia was very curious. Since ancient times, the economy has been a big problem. The economy determines a lot of things. For example, in the Civilization Federation, no economy means insufficient combat power.
"Uh~"
Ella hummed for a long time but didn't say it. Yan Xia instantly knew what Ella was hesitating about.
"It's your problem. You don't want to say it."
"Don't worry, I won't blame you."
Ella basically won't hide anything from him, no matter how catastrophic it is, except for one thing... that is related to Ella herself.
Sure enough, after Yan Xia said it, Ella asked with some doubt: "Really?"
"Of course!"
Ella took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to speak: "In fact, Yan Xia, do you have a feeling that the Federation is not as poor as it is economically?"
Yan Xia thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
No matter where you are in the Federation, it is extremely prosperous, at least on the surface. Sometimes Yan Xia even feels that it is too prosperous.
Not only that, the Federation is also very beautiful, and it feels like there are inexhaustible resources.
When Yan Xia really reflected on this time, he suddenly realized that all this was an illusion.
But why do these illusions exist?
"It's actually overinvestment."
"I have invested too much in various places in the Federation, and these overinvestments are all in infrastructure."
"Infrastructure is 100% controlled by the Federation, not individuals."
"This has led to the current situation, where the citizens of the Federation enjoy benefits beyond their imagination."
"For example, a house in the 21st century should cost 100 million to build, and the total return after selling is 120 million, and the real estate developer has a 20% return rate."
"But in the Federation, it cost 100 million to build, but the funds recovered from selling were only 1 million. The missing 99 million were all borne by the Federation."
"If a citizen conducts an investigation, he will find this problem. Even if he doesn't investigate, he will find the problem by going to the star systems controlled by those big companies. Compared with the Federation Star City we built, those places are simply slums, but they have also emptied the pockets of those companies."
In other words, the citizens of the Federation now live a very luxurious life.
They use 1 energy coin to enjoy the services of 100 or even more energy coins.
Ella lowered her head in shame.
"Do you mean that face projects are everywhere in the Federation?"
Yan Xia could imagine that the Federation was actually too developed now, and he himself had invested a lot in this area, such as the Talent Arena and the scholar ranking.
What is the basis of these things for citizens?
It must be the quality and culture of the citizens themselves.
What does this bring?
A wealthy life!
The construction of infrastructure can satisfy all this.
Yan Xia had to admit that his thoughts were still the same as when he was in his teens and twenties, because he lived in a society with abundant infrastructure.
In 2037, China also used its own success to illustrate the importance of infrastructure.
The current peace and stability of the Federation are all based on excessive consumption like Ella.
"If the Federation is as shabby as in many science fiction movies such as "Starship Troopers" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" on Earth, then we can easily have 100 billion energy coins. Let alone building 10,000 warships, we can even afford 100 million warships."
This is what Ella feels guilty about.
Yan Xia made a comparison in his mind. Although he could no longer remember the scenes of those science fiction movies, it seemed that no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not compare with them. Even if the special effects of science fiction movies were added later, they were still very different from the Federation.
Only some science fiction paintings could describe the star city of the Federation.
Millions of 100,000-meter-high buildings rose from the ground, hundreds of millions of neon lights flashed, and countless spaceships shuttled back and forth in six spaces on the ground, 10-meter ultra-low altitude, 100-meter sub-low altitude, 1,000-meter low altitude, 1000-meter low altitude, 1000-meter medium altitude, 10000-meter medium-high altitude, and a total of six spaces. An inverted forest and lake were built above the city, and it was unclear which side was the sky and which side was the ground.
All of this was maintained by gravity devices.
Some star cities also built entertainment facilities such as huge Ferris wheels with a diameter of more than 100,000 kilometers. Each place to ride was not a seat, but a small park.
These things were not just one or two, but widely distributed in countless star cities.
Luxury!
Extravagant!
"So, your plan is to cut down on these extravagant parts?"
Ella nodded.
Yan Xia said, "No need to do that."
"The current federation is good enough, and we are not a civilization that expects war."
"In the beginning, the Civilization Federation was just our scam, and then we made this scam come true, mostly for self-protection. Now, I enjoy the process of building a civilization."
"We still have plenty of time, so there is no need to be so anxious."
"What the Federation brings now is what we can't get after the reduction. Such a large number of citizens, such a vast star field, such rich and happy citizens, all of this is very beautiful."
"Ella, if you want to make up for it, then vigorously develop the triangle area."
"I think that plan should be put on the agenda."
"Perhaps we should not be supporters of nature, but destroyers of nature."
Ella searched and instantly understood what Yan Xia was talking about.
Destructive Energy Utilization Plan
As the name suggests, this is an act of destruction.
Its essence is to collect energy by destroying objects. This object can be everything, but the most important one refers to-stars.
The energy released by stars is limited. How to make stars release more energy in a very short time?
Then it is necessary to let this star enter the giant stage and the destruction stage in advance.
Therefore, the destructive energy utilization plan is also called the star destruction plan.
"Do you really want to start this plan?"
Ella didn't plan to use this plan at first, because using it would mean permanently losing some stars.
Stars themselves are resources, and this resource is not just energy.
"That's right."
"You have to sacrifice to gain. The universe is big enough. We don't need so many stars." Yan Xia said firmly.
