Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 870 - 869: Crystal

So if human civilization wants to make a mark in the universe in the future, Alpha Crystals are the most important material.

Now, the luckiest thing for human civilization is that Alpha Crystals, such a rare material, exist in its original Fixed Star System.

It can be said that this has saved humanity a lot of detours, and future development will be much more efficient.

Even if there are few Alpha Crystals on Neptune, Jiang Cheng is quite satisfied with this discovery.

Because, to power a single Alpha Engine, very few Alpha Crystals are needed.

In other words, not much Alpha Crystal is required to build a true Mecha.

As long as there is a small amount of Alpha Crystals on Neptune, it's enough for Jiang Cheng to create a Mecha unit.

With the protection of this Mecha unit, humanity will no longer be afraid of encountering other cosmic civilizations.

Moreover, the detailed survey results were far beyond Jiang Cheng's expectations.

Because the amount of Alpha Crystals discovered this time far exceeded Jiang Cheng's needs.

Initially, Jiang Cheng only needed a few dozen kilograms of Alpha Crystals to be completely satisfied.

A few dozen kilograms of Alpha Crystals would be enough for Jiang Cheng to manufacture several thousand Mechas.

A few thousand Mechas are sufficient to ensure the safety of a cosmic civilization.

As a result, the weight of the Alpha Crystals discovered on Neptune this time reached several tons.

With several tons of Alpha Crystals, hundreds of thousands of Mechas can be created.

Although hundreds of thousands may seem a small number, for cosmic civilizations, this is nothing ordinary.

Mechas are very precious even in cosmic terms; an ancient cosmic civilization may not have that many Mechas.

This scarcity of Alpha Crystals makes Mechas so uncommon.

For an average cosmic civilization, having tens of thousands of Mechas is already impressive.

Now, Jiang Cheng has discovered enough Alpha Crystals to manufacture hundreds of thousands of Mechas, so humanity will never again fret over this rare material.

Generally speaking, the amount of Alpha Crystals discovered at one time is only about a few dozen kilograms.

That's why Jiang Cheng felt quite satisfied with just a few dozen kilograms at first.

Knowing the quantity of Alpha Crystals now, Jiang Cheng was as happy as if he had stumbled on a fortune.

"This time, I really hit the jackpot, discovering so many Alpha Crystals."

Jiang Cheng was loudly exclaiming in joy at finding several tons of Alpha Crystals, while calculating in his mind.

Due to the extreme rarity of Alpha Crystals, their value is incredibly high in cosmic civilizations.

The few tons of Alpha Crystals discovered this time are a massive fortune in the universe.

This wealth is relative to a cosmic civilization, which is why Jiang Cheng felt he hit the jackpot.

If Jiang Cheng were to sell these few tons of Alpha Crystals on those trading planets in the universe, what he could get in return is unimaginable.

In the current market within the Milky Way Galaxy, a few tons of Alpha Crystals can be exchanged for an entire cosmic civilization.

This means that with these Alpha Crystals, you could trade for a true cosmic civilization.

That would be a real cosmic civilization, and with just a few tons of this material, such an exchange would enslave a cosmic civilization for Jiang Cheng, that is, with a few tons of Alpha Crystals, you could gain ownership of an entire cosmic civilization.

Now, all Jiang Cheng needs to do is extract the Alpha Crystals from Neptune, board the Pioneer, find a trading planet, and then he could become the master of a cosmic civilization.

Of course, there are significant differences between different cosmic civilizations.

There are many factors to distinguish the development levels of different cosmic civilizations, including technology level, population size, and the number of colonized planets—these data are indicators of a civilization's development.

What can be traded for with a few tons of Alpha Crystals is only a primary cosmic civilization.

However, this is still an astounding fortune, enough to make even someone like Jiang Cheng, who has seen much of the world, unable to stay calm.

You must know that given the current state of human development, whether in technology, population, or land, humans are far from reaching the level of a cosmic civilization.

According to the current development speed of humanity, if everything goes well, it will take a few hundred more years to become a primary cosmic civilization.

Of course, this does not mean that humanity will need several hundred more years to become a true cosmic civilization.

This is the development timetable calculated without considering special factors like Jiang Cheng.

With Jiang Cheng, this Demon Level talent, pushing for the development of human civilization, humans may need just under a hundred years to become a cosmic civilization.

From here, you can see the high value of several tons of Alpha Crystals—even now, humanity can't sell Alpha Crystals at such a price, and it takes further development to do so.

This means that the value of the entire human civilization is not even as high as that of the Alpha Crystals discovered this time.

For Jiang Cheng, this fact is indeed a bit shocking.

The special material he discovered this time is actually worth more than the entire human civilization.

Now, Jiang Cheng has the impulse to immediately extract these Alpha Crystals.

Then, with these Alpha Crystals, exchange them for a cosmic civilization to entertain.

Being the master of an entire civilization is quite an exciting thought.

Who knows how many beauties are in a civilization, and by then, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want?

However, Jiang Cheng ultimately resisted this impulse and did not do it rashly.

Alpha Crystals are the hope for a civilization's development and the key for humanity to step into the cosmos.

Having these Alpha Crystals will greatly shorten human development time, and in the future, entering the universe will meet fewer obstacles.

Jiang Cheng would not trade human hopes for a momentary pleasure.

His goal has never changed—to raise humanity to a sufficient height.

To have human civilization stand at the peak of the universe is what he truly wants to achieve.

So Jiang Cheng wouldn't be foolish enough to sell these Alpha Crystals. They are far too rare, and if missed this time, humanity may never find such a special material again.

Without Alpha Crystals, what would be used to manufacture Mechas?

Without the protection of these ultimate weapons, humanity would be like lambs to the slaughter, forced to leave its fate in the hands of other civilizations.
