"What do you think?" Chen Mu said in a low voice that if he hardened his head and spent money to identify the authenticity of the news, he wouldn't have so much trouble... If the other party was really willing to cooperate.

"No!" Zhang Yuan shook his head and immediately objected.

"There are 2000 amoeba points on hand, which is different from only 1000 on hand. You know, we have to spend a lot of money to rent the Planetary Fortress!"

"If the other party still doesn't choose cooperation, we'll be miserable!"

Chen Mu was speechless and put out his mind.

Yes, 1000 amoeba points. How much technology can you buy? How much time is saved?

After thinking about it for a while, all mankind, including the TOS, fell into a dilemma. There was no way to compromise or give in.

The most difficult thing in the world is to trust each other... Even if the two sides have cooperated before, that kind of cooperation is very different from this kind of cooperation now!

Even some contradictory voices have emerged within the TOS civilization. Since mankind has vowed so much, there is still some possibility that the news is "true".

That's the curvature technology that three-level civilization dreams of. Who doesn't want to get it?

Although the science and technology tree of TOS civilization is deformed and has many defects, it also wants to obtain this technology.

However, even if they are very eager, they still can't. They can't take the lead in paying 2000 amoeba points.

Think about it with your excretory organs, and you know it's impossible.

What if humans are liars?

In this mutual distrust, human beings have proposed a method: the two civilizations pay 500 amoeba points respectively to distinguish the truth of the news, and the problem of trust between each other can be solved.

However, five hundred amoeba points are also a lot of property, and there are great objections within mankind.

Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips. At the beginning, their laboratory only obtained 3.4 amoeba points. The whole new human civilization spent more than 200 amoeba points to prolong its life by 200 years. Now it costs five hundred dollars at a time, which is different from cutting meat alive!

The TOS civilization could not agree for a moment and a half.

For the TOS civilization, it's ridiculous to spend 500 amoeba points to judge whether human beings know the truth of the news! If it's fake, isn't it a waste of 500?

For them, 5 amoeba points are the upper limit they can bear!

Yes, five!

No more hair!

This still depends on the good reputation of previous cooperation, that is, the other party believes that the goodwill of new human civilization is worth five amoeba points, which is the biggest concession they can make.

It was so noisy that half a day passed and nothing was discussed.

Zhang Yuan frowned and meditated. He didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something: "I seem to think of a feasible way... First of all, we need to know how much each other's possessions are."

"All your possessions?"

This question is not particularly strange.

One of the negotiators replied, "it's hard to count. We don't have internal spies. How can we know all the other party's possessions."

"However, judging from the external performance and the prosperity of trade, this TOS civilization is relatively rich and theoretically richer than us. After all, they can sense the magnetic field. They can be regarded as a rare species in the interstellar civilization. The technology tree is also strange. They have been selling their productivity over the years... Have they been here for tens of thousands of years? "

"Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that 6000 points, a little more, 9000... Should not be more. If they exceed this figure, they can let the Huantai civilization help them tailor a pair of eyes. There is no need to struggle like this."

The TOS civilization really wants to increase the ability of optical perception in its own perception, even black-and-white images or infrared.

This is a well-known point.

It is not difficult to study a pair of bionic eyes. The TOS civilization has been able to do it for a long time. But the eyes are just "hardware". The most difficult thing is to form a real perception in the brain, that is, "software".

"Software" is more difficult than "hardware" itself. I don't know how many times.

Without this concept, it is difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow. If there is no such content in your head, it is too difficult to make a breakthrough by relying on civilization itself.

Zhang Yuan has a deep understanding of this. After he joined the super dimensional perception laboratory, there was a major breakthrough in the original card content soon, because after that encounter, he had more content in his mind that was difficult to describe in conventional language.

Zhang Yuandao: "in other words, if there is no accident, take a median. The amoeba points owned by the other party are about seven or eight thousand, isn't it?"

"That's right."

"... therefore, we can ask the other party to sign a confidentiality agreement and freeze most of the other party's points without worrying about disclosure."

"Then, you can fully inform the other party of the message."

"Why?" Mr. Chen Mu frowned and didn't understand what Zhang Yuan wanted to express: "in this way, what if the other party doesn't pay afterwards? What about going back? Didn't you make a big news in vain? "

"Mr. Chen, what is the most important thing between civilization and civilization?"

"It's interest."

"However, a truly visionary civilization should consider not only the immediate interests, but also the longer-term interests," Zhang Yuan explained

"As long as we freeze each other's amoeba points, under normal circumstances, the other party will not divulge secrets. Unless the other party wants to lose 5000 amoeba points for nothing... Oh, by the way, we have to add provisions to prevent the TOS civilization from deliberately divulging secrets, breaking cans and falling, peddling this news to various civilizations and earning 5000 amoeba points... "

"In short, stop the possibility of their divulging information."

Minister Chen nodded slightly. This clause must be the best.

Zhang Yuan continued: "then, after the other party got the news and judged its feasibility, what are they most eager for?"

"As long as they are not the kind of degenerate civilization, they must want to obtain curvature technology!"

"Therefore, they will face the same problems as us. They will find that the nearest neutron star neutron star system is more than 1000 light-years away. This distance is too far. They have to spend 4000 amoeba points to rent a war star to fly over."

"Unless they are willing to abandon their mother ship and rent only a few transport ships, it is absolutely impossible to abandon their mother ship in the dangerous environment near the neutron star. You have to rent a Planetary Fortress. "

"At this moment, the TOS civilization will fall into the same dilemma as us. They found that after freezing 5000 amoeba points, they can no longer pay an additional 4000 amoeba points by themselves."

"When they find that they don't have enough money to complete the plan, what will they choose?"

Zhang Yuan waved hard and came to a conclusion: "we will make the same choice as us."

"The best way is to cooperate with us! As long as they have enough reason, they should choose like this! "

There was a sudden silence in the conference room, followed by a buzzing discussion.

Yes, the probability of this happening is very high!

"Mr. Zhang Yuan... You're right, but there are some mistakes."

A young diplomat raised his hand and said, "this also leads to another problem... Since the other party knows that we humans also want to go to that place, they are probably unwilling to bear additional costs. Even if the two sides cooperate, the four thousand transportation costs are likely to be shared equally between the two sides, with two thousand points for each civilization."

"... if you want the other party to bear more transportation expenses, the other party may not want to. After all, we humans must go to that place, so why should the other party make concessions? "

"Although we paid 2000 cents, we also went against our will at the beginning. It's equivalent to giving each other an important message for free. Even if we find a partner, we still lose a lot! "

"No, no, no, you're wrong about that!"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "the other party can't choose a partner. Except for us humans, TOS civilization can't choose another partner... If you want to choose another partner, it's equivalent to divulging secrets, you have to bear the loss of 5000 amoeba points."

"They can't afford this loss!"

"But we don't have such confidentiality clauses. We can choose other partners... Such inequality brings the possibility of signing unequal treaties."

His eyes twinkled with a cunning light: "if this TOS civilization wants to covet the news and do us no good, then just give it to them."

"We can choose another partner!"

"If we leave the trading market, TOS civilization will be locked in the trading market until the confidentiality period stipulated in the contract expires. At that time, they can either find another partner and rent a war star with 4000 points, but can they really find a partner? I doubt this. It's hard to find partners for such big things. "

"Or you can rent a war star by spending 4000 amoeba points alone, but in this way, you have been delayed for thousands of years without any reason and paid more amoeba points. At that time, the trading market will be dissolved. Who knows what the situation is? "

"Therefore, after rational judgment, it is the best strategy for each other to cooperate with us immediately and immediately."

"Do you think this method is possible?"

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Yuan's scheme was very clever. From the perspective of game theory, there was no problem.

"But..." a diplomat questioned again: "what if after hearing the news, the TOS civilization does not have this desire for cooperation? Not every civilization is like us and is willing to spend a lot of time and information to do this. "

"The information we provided is highly complete. But a large part is still speculation... "

"The assurance of this matter is not high, absolutely not 100%, or even 50% is still a problem."

Zhang Yuan lowered his head and said softly, "if they don't hear the news of curvature technology and don't want to do it, there's no way. It only shows that this is a degenerate civilization. We are lucky not to cooperate with them. We'd better choose another partner. "

Hearing this, Mr. Chen Mu sighed faintly and looked at the information on the table.

From these years of contact, the rationality of this TOS civilization is quite high, and there is still a little lofty ideal.

It's really hard to say exactly how, but it's not as if you were completely indifferent to the news and just broke the jar.

On the other hand, if the other party really discloses the secret, human beings will get 5000 amoeba points for no reason. On the contrary, money is God in the trading market, and there will be more room for operation at that time.

Zhang Yuan's plan should already be quite good.

After demonstrating its feasibility, people solemnly predicted and calculated the family property of TOS civilization, how many points need to be frozen, and the biggest concession in the negotiation.

After these discussions, "mortgage 5000 points for 3000 years" has become the first important condition for bilateral cooperation. If the news is leaked due to TOS civilization, 5000 points will be transferred to the account of new human civilization.

If we are safe and sound after three thousand years, the five thousand points will be returned to the TOS civilization as they are, without any loss to the other party.

Faced with this condition, these large giant salamanders have some hesitation. Three thousand years is not too long for an interstellar civilization, but it is not short.

After all, the life span of the TOS people is only one or two thousand years.

Moreover, 5000 amoeba points are already more than half of their whole civilization.

Chen Mu said very seriously, "this is the bottom line of our mankind! Friends of TOS civilization, you should know the value of curvature technology news. If you buy this news from Huantai civilization trading market, you need to spend 10000 points! "

"Now, you can get it as long as you mortgage 5000 points and promise not to divulge the news! We don't charge another fee. "

"What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you want it for free? If your civilization refuses to do this, then the negotiation can not continue. We will find another civilization to discuss cooperation! "
