After listening to human demands, these TOS were very surprised to think about the possible pitfalls contained in human demands.
The conditions put forward by the new humanity are few and reasonable. Assuming that the two sides really have the willingness to cooperate, the confidentiality agreement must be signed.
But
“……”
They discussed and discussed, and still thought that the biggest risk was that humans might cheat the 5000 amoeba points!
After all, the trading market will be dissolved in 3000 years. At that time, most interstellar civilizations will leave the star domain and will never meet in the future. Anything can happen in the whole process.
If it is the information leaked by mankind itself, and the result depends on the TOS civilization, will it not lose 5000 points in vain?
"... what do you think?"
Thomas, the leader of this large group of giant salamanders, said that he was the highest official here and the administrative commander of the whole civilization.
TOS people really want to obtain curvature technology, are willing to pay a certain price for it, and don't want to bear such a huge risk.
"... it's not so easy for the other party to cheat. This contract is the guarantee of fairness and justice in the trading market. We just need to analyze the possible loopholes, and then use the supplementary treaty to circumvent them. "
The interstellar trading market guarantees the confidentiality of the contract and does not judge the authenticity of the information in the contract. This is the basic service of the trading market, and the cost is not much. Both sides need to jointly bear the cost of 5 amoeba points.
Anyway, whether the news is true or false, the TOS civilization only needs to keep it confidential.
If new humans really cheat during this period, the Huantai civilization will intervene to conduct strict investigation for such a large list. Generally, it is not so easy to cheat.
Thomas sent out a series of ultrasonic waves from his mouth: "... If the news said by the new humans is true, they don't ask too much. But I was thinking, what is the need for cooperation between the two civilizations? The friendship between the new human civilization and us is not deep. If there are really clues of curvature technology, can't we do it ourselves? "
"Maybe they are in trouble and need a lot of amoeba points, so they are willing to tell us?"
The discussion came and went, and there was no reason for it.
After a long time, one of the staff replied: "Sir, we should add some regulations to the Cooperation Treaty: if the information leaked by human beings has nothing to do with us."
"Moreover, new human civilization can also be required to use one or two thousand amoeba points as collateral. If it is the information leaked by human beings and deliberately frame us, this part of amoeba points will be used to compensate for our reputation loss, so as to reduce the risk of fraud. "
Thomas nodded slightly and immediately rejected the plan: "they can't agree. From the logical level, after all, the other party told us the news. How can we guarantee ourselves? "
Another aide said, "but no matter what, I have to mention that the other party really wants to cheat. It must be that the other party will retreat in the face of difficulties."
Another TOS said, "also, I think the guarantee time of 3000 years is too long. Maybe it should be changed to 1000 or 2000 years. After 3000 years, the interstellar trading market has moved, and it will become more difficult for us to consume amoeba points. We must keep it for a period of time to buffer. "
"Yes, that's right. Freezing for one or two thousand years is not a big problem for us. Excluding these 5000 points, we still have 2600 amoeba points in our hands, which is enough to deal with various foreign affairs. But these 5000 amoeba points must be unfrozen before the relocation of the trading market! "
"... we have to catch up with the last big auction in the trading market!"
He added: "on the other hand, the confidentiality of this information should not involve the known common sense. Let me make an analogy, suppose there are several in it: the formula of hydrogen atomic spectrum is 1 λ= R [1 (N1) ^ 2-1 (N2) ^ 2], the half-life of uranium 235 is 700 million years. Do we have to keep it secret? "
"Of course not!"
"Otherwise, there will be no need to participate in future academic exchanges, and scientists will inadvertently leak their words!"
A group of TOS people are very rational to discuss various issues, including various loopholes, their bottom line, what risks they can bear, and so on.
Even after discussing all the relevant issues, some TOS hurried back to their base camp to demonstrate its feasibility. It took nearly a month for the new humans in the embassy to have a good meal.
TOS civilization is such a very rational race. In the face of such major events, rationality is higher than sensibility. Everything is in order and the details are to the extreme.
This ideology has both advantages and disadvantages.
At best, the probability of making mistakes is small, and the probability of becoming a fallen civilization is much lower. The vast majority of TOS people don't have a strong concept of "enjoying life". As long as they can sleep and eat well, they don't have much desire, even if it's a good enjoyment.
But at a disadvantage, these giant salamanders have a little Buddha nature and one tendon. Their world is either black or white, not complex, and their social systems are constantly standardized by "saints" in history.
Saints believe that society needs continuous progress, so they continue to progress.
In addition, after being exposed to all kinds of civilizations, including the suspected "sink civilization", the vast majority of TOS also believe that society needs progress.
That's enough.
Of course, no matter how smart the TOS are, they can't think that there will be a big pit waiting for them in the future. Because the new human civilization has never thought of fraud, the direction of the TOS is completely wrong.
In this way, you come and go for a long time. The regulations stipulated in various contracts are getting longer and longer, thousands of pages!
To freeze the 2000 amoeba points of the human side, people are certainly unwilling to freeze all their possessions. What else will they play in the future? And I'm kind enough to cooperate with you, tell you a big news, and I have to guarantee myself. What's this? It's totally out of normal logic!
Finally, after two months of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement: the TOS civilization needs to freeze 5000 points as security for leakage, and the freeze period is 2000 years.
But if humans leak secrets on their own, it has nothing to do with TOS civilization.
If the human side wants to frame the TOS civilization after divulging the secret by itself, the TOS civilization will retain the power of retrospective investigation and can claim up to 5000 amoeba points!
