It is not unreasonable for TOS civilization to think like this. The new human civilization is a quite young civilization. It has not been long since it came to the trading market for more than 30 years, and the accumulated reputation is not much.

Will it be free? This is absolutely impossible!

Between civilizations, there are only interests. What is the previous friendship?

What's more, they TOS are cold-blooded animals, and their feelings are more indifferent than other civilizations. What they don't believe most is the so-called friendship.

In a word, they don't expect much. Even if the other party is suspected of fraud, there will be no loss if they come here to test it. What if... The other party is not fraud?

As if he had seen some thoughts of the other side, Foreign Minister Chen Mu solemnly said: "we do have clues to curvature technology. Before we tell you the complete news, we believe that your civilization needs to mortgage 5000 amoeba points in the trading market. "

"If your civilization accidentally leaks this important news, the 5000 amoeba points mortgaged will be transferred to the human account. The secret shall be kept for 3000 years. "

These are pre negotiated countermeasures.

"At the same time, we believe that the price of this message is 2000 amoeba points. Your civilization needs to pay 2000 amoeba points after that. "

After hearing this, the giant giant giant salamander named "Thomas" was shocked and immediately interrupted: "respected human civilization, this is absolutely impossible! We don't know what this news is, so we can't pay any points. "

"Maybe we need Huantai interstellar trading market as an intermediate platform to evaluate this news. If the interstellar market believes that it is really possible to infer curvature technology from this news, we can continue to negotiate. "

"That's no problem." Chen Mu nodded and uploaded the prepared information.

The Huantai civilization is already a fourth level civilization. It is easy to infer the authenticity of the news.

Moreover, for the Huantai civilization, this known news is not worth much money.

After a while, the representative of Huantai civilization, cocoa filamentous wart, said: "I'm sorry, we can't judge this news. Any clue about curvature technology is the core technology of the fourth level civilization, and the clues in this regard are very complex and contained in all aspects of physics. "

"You can infer its clue from this small place, or you can infer from that small corner that it is not the only one."

"In the trading market, just buying the value of these seemingly correct clues requires 8000-10000 amoeba points."

"To judge the correctness of a curvature clue and whether there is a chance of success, you also need to pay 1000 amoeba points. Otherwise, if some interstellar civilizations submit their own papers for a long time and let us judge their correctness, it will waste a lot of energy in our whole trading market. "

"So, are you willing to pay 1000 amoeba points to let the interstellar trading market intervene and judge its rationality? And serve as an intermediate platform for this fair transaction. "

1000 amoeba points!

Everyone stared. It was too expensive. It exceeded people's previous expectations. The handling fee of the interstellar trading market would not exceed 1% of the contract amount, but this time, it was too expensive.

It's the first time Chen Mu has heard of such a thing, but it seems reasonable to think about it carefully... It's a charge to let others judge right and wrong by his own brain hole. Otherwise, 100 million brain holes and let the other party judge 100 million times can be exhausted by the exhaustive method alone!

He licked his dry lips and asked, "can you make it cheaper?"

Cocoa filamentous wart said, "I'm sorry, we can't discount because of our previous friendship. It's a matter of principle. There are also relevant interstellar conventions among the four civilizations. Some level-4 civilizations do not want a large number of level-3 civilizations to obtain curvature technology, because this is the fundamental advantage of level-4 civilization... We cannot violate the corresponding interstellar conventions. "

In essence, the essential gap between the third level civilization and the fourth level civilization is the mobility problem brought by curvature technology.

Level 4 civilization can exceed the speed of light, but level 3 civilization can only move near the cosmic string.

As for some other technologies, longer and shorter life, faster or slower electromagnetic guns, in fact, will not bring qualitative change.

Some deep-rooted tertiary civilizations can even surpass the fourth civilization in some science and technology.

This time, the negotiations fell into a dilemma.

Human credibility is not enough for the TOS civilization to pay points before listening to the news.

This is the bottom line of TOS civilization. 2000 amoeba points is not a small number. Their whole possessions add up to only 6000 or 7000 points.

This is the accumulation of 30000 years!

If you pay first, what you buy is a fake message? Even if they commit suicide, they are not enough to apologize to their civilization!

Conversely, let humans disclose the news first and then let the other party pay, and humans are unwilling.

Since the intermediate platform is unwilling to intervene, it is difficult to ensure the interests of mankind. The other party already knows the news. Will they still pay 2000 amoeba points? Can humans force each other to forget?

Of course not. This is not a rotten cabbage. What if you repent?

At most, the two sides are hostile to each other and don't communicate with each other when they are old... They can make a lot of money in exchange for a piece of news.

In the Huantai civilization interstellar trading market, the only thing you can't buy is force. You can rent war stars to transport things, you can also rent spaceships of class IV civilization to deliver messages, and you can even buy some war weapons of class IV civilization, but you can't spend money to buy force and destroy another civilization.

Peacekeeping is a fundamental condition for the existence of the trading market. At least peace on the surface is needed, otherwise the whole world will be in chaos. Who will come to the trading market to do business? So even if there is hatred, it is impossible to fight in the trading market.

When this happened, everyone here whispered. Zhang Yuan frowned and couldn't think of a particularly good way for a while.

The negotiations are in trouble

In the past, people thought that under the witness of the civilization around Thailand, the two sides signed a contract to let the trading market ensure the execution of the contract.

The reputation of the civilization around Thailand for millions of years is not enough to covet thousands of amoeba points. Goodwill is an intangible asset. It is easy to lose but difficult to earn back. Although there are risks, people can bear it.

Now, let this big bug be the middleman. It costs 1000 amoeba points to judge the authenticity of a message! It's so expensive that people can't afford it at all.
