(Title: Contact... Start!)
After discussion for a while, with the precedent of Gliese civilization, people were still very alert to this cosmic businessman, even if they got a little benefit from the beginning.
The so-called heart of defending people is indispensable. Many soldiers have put on power armor and stood at their posts to prepare for accidents.
Some people also think that this civilization may be the enemy of amoeba. They deliberately rob here and ruin the reputation of amoeba civilization. Anyway, there are countless messy conspiracy theories. No matter what happens, it is possible, isn't it?
After a long discussion, many people still believe that this opportunity should not be missed. As long as people are careful enough and communicate through electromagnetic waves, there will be no safety problems in theory.
Even if the other party gives some fake technology, what can fake information do?
Even if it's false information, it's better to have a little real content than nothing at all.
Zhang Yuan listened to the discussion and said slowly, "what kind of information do you want to trade? We must not expose the fact that we are a rookie civilization, otherwise the loss is small, and the insecurity caused is the big thing... "
Because the distance between the two sides is still far, it may take seven hours for the information to come and go. Therefore, in order to ensure smooth communication, the amount of information should be as much as possible.
Everyone hesitated for a while and soon chose to turn around and talk to each other.
"Amoeba civilization, Hello, we have a lot of common sense about cosmic civilization, the specific history of low-level civilization and some trends of high-level civilization, as well as knowledge about biology, sociology, mathematics, physics and so on. What kind of transaction do you want? What price are you willing to pay? "
"... we are looking for knowledge about curvature engine. If your civilization is willing to trade this knowledge, we are willing to pay a high price..."
The reason why people want curvature engine technology is that this technology is theoretically the dream of low-level interstellar civilization. The technical level of Kunlun Mountain is just the peak of the second-class civilization, which is much higher than that of the earth civilization, but it is a little far from that of the fourth-class civilization.
As for... The six level civilization technology "consciousness upload" beyond civilization itself can not be used for war.
Therefore, in the face of this suspicious "advanced civilization", mankind still holds a skeptical attitude.
After sending this message, people began to wait anxiously again.
Seven hours are short and seven hours are long
Many people are discussing the concerns of this transaction.
According to the analysis of the existing information, the vast majority of civilizations will be stuck at the level of secondary civilization.
Just like humans, all the fish that can be caught have been caught, and the rest are big fish that no one can catch.
The third level civilization should be about the exploration of subatomic, life science, nano robot and space science. Human beings are still very naive and even helpless. The most troublesome thing in the universe is not the difficult development of science and technology, but the lack of development and discovery.
Inexplicably, amid all kinds of discussions, the ship became a little suspicious.
Because it doesn't look as tall as expected. First of all, it is the structure of interstellar ramjet. It seems that it is only the technology of three-level civilization... If there is curvature technology, why do you need ramjet? No matter how advanced it is, it is only working medium propulsion.
"This dark spaceship says it is the information transfer station of amoeba civilization. Is it him? Who knows if it's bullshit? Maybe it's a stuck vegetable and chicken civilization that swindles here! " A young man named Rambo is expressing his views.
One of the professors shook his head: "Mr. Rambo, I think even if a spacecraft has curvature navigation technology, it still needs this kind of working medium engine as an auxiliary. Curvature navigation may have certain limitations, unlike working fluid engines. Therefore, even if there is a technology of three-level civilization, you can't deny that it is a higher civilization. "
That makes sense.
"The ship sent this message after we used the flash bomb... It's very suspicious. If we don't use flash bombs, won't we send them? Are you going to do some road robberies? "
"... if you are found, even if you are a businessman, you are a robber if you are not found?"
Zhang Yuan frowned. The conspiracy theory put forward by those people made people panic, but what they said was also reasonable
But if the other party is really not an amoeba civilization and has only one spaceship, can he rob?
"Even if the other party launches an attack, as long as all human ships are not destroyed at one time, they will inevitably suffer from the crazy counterattack of mankind. At that time, no one will survive in this starry sky... There is no reason to do such a thing. "
"And what can the other party get when they launch an attack... Nothing but a pile of interstellar garbage."
All kinds of messy speculation made my head ache.
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "we don't have substantive contact with each other. As long as we're not stupid enough to say that we have any high-dimensional fragments, there shouldn't be too many problems with consciousness upload technology."
As for curvature navigation, it is indeed a technology that people are very eager for, which means a technology that can break through the light speed barrier, but people don't expect much.
Now it is quite convenient to rely on cosmic strings for gravitational acceleration, but it still has some limitations. Relying on kinetic energy, it is impossible to break through the speed of light, and the route can only be limited to a small area around the cosmic string.
In fact, according to expert estimates, it is limited by material technology, escort technology and communication. If it is a spacecraft fleet, accelerating to 10-15% of the speed of light is almost the limit. If it is a planet, it can accelerate to 30% - 40% of the speed of light.
However, using curvature navigation means ten or twenty times the speed of light. It is no longer limited by cosmic strings. That is the real great freedom!
In fact, this is completely nonsense. Which civilization that uses cosmic strings to navigate around cosmic strings doesn't want to obtain real curvature technology?
Zhang Yuan didn't expect to get warp speed technology at all, but said it casually.
As time goes by, everyone is anxiously waiting, waiting
The other party's response appeared!
"Hello, unknown civilization. We will analyze the authenticity of the information sent by your civilization. If it is really valid information, we will convert it into a certain amount of amoeba points. You can use these points in the amoeba trading market or buy our information and technology in turn. "
"With regard to fairness, please do not doubt the integrity of amoeba civilization accumulated in the galaxy for thousands of years“
"In terms of curvature engine technology, it belongs to class IV civilization technology, which does not belong to the scope of this transaction for the time being. Please go to the amoeba trading market to seek relevant transactions. "
Below is a table about the price of information.
Such as first level information, second level information, third level information, fourth level information, etc. Because information is a kind of thing, what you don't know is valuable. Once you know it, it's worthless. Therefore, the judgment conditions are very vague, and there is no very clear qualitative standard at all.
Many people immediately scold, which is too bullying!
Zhang Yuan frowned, that is to say, is the pricing power completely in the other party's hands?
Rely on each other's integrity?
However, there is no way. Even if human beings bargain, what about the pricing power they want?
First of all, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, people now lack common sense in this regard, and it is impossible to trade fairly and reasonably... Human beings don't even know what they want.
Colonel Guo, who is in charge of the military direction, suddenly said, "I think we can exchange some information and test each other. It's nothing to lose a little. "
"For example, what is the so-called amoeba integral, a universal currency? So how to design anti-counterfeiting and how to have higher recognition... Anyway, it's better than giving up this transaction. "
Zhang Yuan nodded, which is what he thought
What is the common currency of interstellar civilization? It can't be paper money. Is it a digital currency with a password... It's still a little far fetched. Let's not talk about whether this password can be decoded and forged. How can we ensure that these passwords are amoeba points? Maybe they are made randomly. How can we judge the amount of money?
Or the online bitcoin mode, which can ensure authentic anti-counterfeiting, but there is no network between interstellar civilizations.
"It would be nice if there were a network between interstellar civilizations. We can take this opportunity to connect."
"Don't think too much! That must be a super light speed network. "
After a while, everyone calmed down.
But what message do you send? What do humans have?
Human beings have many things, but for the sake of safety, many cannot be exposed, such as their birthplace, the scientific and technological strength and military strength of the whole fleet, and so on.
"Or send a helium hydrogen ion gun?"
As a variant of ion gun, helium hydrogen ion gun can be installed only in large spacecraft. In fact, its theory is not difficult, mainly in terms of materials.
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "It's not necessary. Maybe through this framework, the other party can infer our scientific and technological strength and material level. What if the other side has the ability to miniaturize such weapons? No doubt it's the act of teaching others. "
Li Zhendong asked: "or send some conventional scientific and technological materials to test... It's just conventional science and technology anyway."
by the way!
Zhang Yuan had a flash in his mind.
"We can send some information to test whether the other party is an amoeba civilization..."
He typed a text on the screen: "Dear amoeba civilization, we know that it is located at the base of the ship η The star's high-dimensional prison has exploded, and a large number of super life took the opportunity to flee. Administration η The artificial intelligence ETA of Gaowei prison has issued a warrant to hunt down these super life. If you catch the escaped super life, you can get a reward from Gaia civilization. "
"Please evaluate the value of this information."
