Chapter 525

At the command, all astronomers within the civilization mobilized and tried to search for this information. They checked the previous observation data over and over several times.

No,

At least, there is no corresponding star structure within 50 light-years.

If there were such a stellar structure, so many civilizations in the trading market should have discovered them and talked about them with relish.

Not in 100 light-years!

Not in 150 light years!

By this time, the TOS were a little flustered. 150 light-years is a big number for the three-level interstellar civilization. It may take more than 2000 years to travel a long distance and take half-way maintenance and rest!

Within 200 light-years, it seems that... There is still no

"But we can't rule out some stars that have been omitted and not recorded." The astronomer seems to be comforting everyone.

In 300 years, the search scope was too large for the TOS civilization. The records in the database, at most 300 light-years away, are still nothing.

The meeting room was silent and no one spoke.

Thomas seemed to understand the trap arranged by humans and sighed: "contact them, where is the nearest astronomical structure?"

The embassies of both sides are on the same planet. It is not difficult to connect. After about an hour, mankind simply replied: "at least a thousand light-years away."

Human beings have only given an ambiguous data. The starry sky is so large that it is impossible to find the corresponding stars according to this data. Only when the two sides cooperate fully will they be informed of the precise location.

But this figure directly makes these large giant salamanders lament. They don't think that new humans will lie here.

"In other words, there is no star structure we need nearby! If you want to observe the collision of neutron stars at close range, you must span a long, long distance! 1000 light-years, this distance is too long for us to accept. "

"We have to buy technology services in the trading market. Only through curvature technology can we fly over. Therefore, when the new human civilization finds us, it should seek cooperation in this regard... It is such a cost for one civilization to rent a war star to fly over, and it is the same cost for two civilizations. "

Another young TOS man immediately said, "well, the new human means... We can share the cost of the new human civilization. We are willing to accept such cooperation!"

"Divide equally? What you think is too simple! "

Thomas shook his head and said to the young diplomat, "you know, we signed the so-called confidentiality regulations, but the other party didn't. Even if the other party divulges secrets, we can't control it as long as it's not bad for us... "

"The other party can choose not to cooperate with us and choose another civilization."

"In this way, we are a civilization alone. If we want to go to that place, we need to pay the full fare. Even, we haven't found out where the so-called neutron star collision region is. "

"Therefore, in order to reduce the loss, we must pay additional amoeba points and ask humans to cooperate with us..."

"It's equivalent to buying the news with money."

This... Good calculation!

For a moment and a half, no TOS spoke in the conference room. Such logic seemed impeccable.

After discussion, Thomas said to another member of the think tank, "go to the trading market and ask about the price of renting a war star."

Renting a war star must be very expensive. So far, the TOS have no Planetary Fortress of their own.

Except for some third-class civilizations that plough deep into their home planet, nomadic civilizations generally don't bother to build such bulky things.

After discovering that his people were sighing, Thomas also shook his head gently. What they wanted most was to have a pair of eyes and accumulate a lot of amoeba points.

But now, compared with curvature technology, a pair of eyes is really nothing.

A pair of eyes need amoeba points of about 8000 to 9000. After paying such a large sum of points, the interstellar trading market will tailor a pair of eyes that can sense electromagnetic waves for them, and design a special auxiliary brain for them.

As long as you know what it feels like to have light and supplement this part of the "software" in the brain, the follow-up will be simple and the speed of self-improvement will become faster.

But now, if we want to pursue curvature technology, it will inevitably consume a lot of amoeba points. There is no doubt that this pursuit will be delayed for a long time.

After some discussion, at least 70% of TOS people believe that they should give priority to pursuing curvature technology. Anyway, they have long been used to it, and a few years later is nothing.

With curvature technology, there are too many places to go. Maybe there are civilizations similar to them in other trading markets? It will be much easier to pursue a pair of eyes.

After listening to everyone's speech, Thomas continued: "however, to go to the neutron star collision area, we must rent a war star to realize the relocation of all civilizations. This money and points can not be saved. Otherwise, without any protection, once neutron stars collide, all our lives will be lost. "

"I just asked. The rental cost of the Planetary Fortress is calculated according to the time, 40 points a year, and the speed is 10-12 times the speed of light. The minimum time for each loan is 50 years, so at least 2000 amoeba points are required. "

"If you rent it for 100 years and go to an area 1000 light-years away, you'll get 4000 amoeba points."

This cost surprised everyone. No wonder the new human civilization needs to find partners. If you stay away, you can't afford it at all.

Another aide came up with a solution: "... According to the current analysis, the confidentiality agreement we signed earlier is serious for the new human civilization, so the possibility of fraud is very low.

"Yes, they should and do not want the news to spread. There are more tertiary civilizations going there, and there will always be chaos. "

"So, can we test each other's bottom line? The first priority of cooperation in the new human civilization must be us, because we have learned the news. The second priority is other civilizations. "

"This priority should also be measured by price."

Thomas thought for a while, and the tentacles on his two heads shook: "you're right, but it's the same for us. As long as the new human civilization does not cooperate with us, we have to rent another war star and pay the full fare. If the new human civilization cooperates with us, at least we may pay less amoeba points. "

The young man said, "it's good to pay one or two hundred points less, isn't it?"

All the large giant salamanders in the conference room are calm, silent, silent

Even if they have fully known the news, they still have to pay!

This made them sigh loudly about the cunning of the new human civilization.

Yes, compared with paying the full fare, even paying one or two hundred points less is an acceptable result for the TOS civilization.

There is no point in breaking the net. If the new mankind does not choose to cooperate with the TOS civilization, but chooses another civilization, the TOS will face the challenge of an alliance after spending a lot of money!

The fact that the TOS are not good at making friends does not mean that the new human civilization is not good. Even an alliance with different ghosts is more reliable than a completely unfamiliar latecomer.

After analyzing all the advantages and disadvantages, one of the senior officials sighed, "I agree with your excellency Thomas. At present, it seems that cooperating with each other is our best choice."

"Unless we don't want curvature Technology... But now, this news about curvature technology is really reliable and has a certain chance of success."

The chief scientist nodded, which they can guarantee that scientific inference will not deceive people. These days, they have simulated it many times with scientific computers. However, without a large amount of reliable data, these theories are always a big piece of content. It is impossible to make up by brain alone.

This is a major event about the survival and development of the whole civilization. It can't be too cautious. After they repeatedly demonstrated for a week and still didn't come up with a better way, Thomas finally announced: "negotiate and tell them that we are willing to bear more expenses."

"If some amoeba points can be offset by technology, we are willing to trade more core technology."

"We don't have to regret anything. The news itself is valuable. We just can't afford it. Logically, we should even thank each other. "

"If you really get curvature technology, what's the price...?"

……

The stormy second round of negotiations resumed.

After reaching a consensus, the two sides began a very complex negotiation process. All kinds of wrangling are exhausting. TOS people are willing to pay more amoeba points, but they are not willing to help humans pay in full.

According to their reasoning, if mankind changes another partner, it is also risky. This part of the risk should also be converted into amoeba points.

The final agreement is that humans pay 1000 amoeba points and TOS civilization pay 3000 points to rent a Planetary Fortress to go to that star field.

In addition, TOS civilization has to pay for magnetic field defense technology equivalent to 800 amoeba points. These are core technologies that have never been sold in the trading market. It is equivalent to that the TOS civilization paid 1800 points for this news, which is a pretty good result.

In addition, after the conclusion of the contract, both parties are no longer allowed to find a third-party partner.

After all, it's OK to say that the situation of the two civilizations and the three civilizations will undoubtedly become more complex. At that time, there will be no way to cooperate.

We are engaged in research and development, not in politics and gangs.

However, the problem came again. After the TOS were frozen for 5000 amoeba points because of confidentiality, they were unable to bear the 3000 points, so they had to unfreeze first. This has also brought more complex problems, such as whether there will be a leak, how to guarantee after the thaw, and so on

This problem is also very realistic. Since we want to leave the trading market in advance, TOS civilization also wants to give its amoeba points to consumers 80% or 90% in advance. This scientific research experiment will become benevolent if it is not successful. We must be prepared in advance. In particular, there are a lot of resources in the market that can be purchased. It is a sin not to use it.

Therefore, after listening to the appeal of TOS civilization, after friendly consultation, mankind agreed to the other party's request for unfreezing points, but signed a series of more complex contracts to ensure confidentiality.

……

This series of contracts is full of the thickness of an encyclopedia, with more than 600 pages. The eyes of the middleman "cocoa filamentous wart" expand like eggs, "ah, your two civilizations are really good at negotiation... Service fee or... 5 points, thank you for your patronage."

The two sides also chose to carry out deeper cooperation and strengthen mutual trust. There is no so-called trading market in that unfamiliar place. No one knows what will happen... Maybe it is possible to meet another civilization.

It's better to choose confrontation than cooperation. Win-win is the best model in the "prisoner's dilemma".

After the whole negotiation, everyone came out tired. Even Zhang Yuan's eyes are red, obviously there is a phenomenon of energy overdraft.

The whole negotiation process took five months!

Too long, as if a whole century had passed!

But everyone's nerves are extremely excited. The fruit of this victory is a little too much. The unique technology of TOS civilization equivalent to 800 amoeba points is very valuable. These magnetic field technologies are close to the level of level IV civilization, far more than what humans currently have. It can be used in all aspects of industry.

What's more, after people complete this big goal, they still have more than 1000 goal points on hand. With the hard currency of these 1000 points, they can control more things.

A celebration banquet was held in the embassy. It was full of wine and preparation. Holding a celebration banquet in the territory of aliens also had a different taste. In particular, many of the dishes were obtained from the TOS civilization. They were very strange and tasted terrible!

"What's this, sheep's eye? My God! " As the proponent of the whole scheme, Zhang Yuan is certainly the greatest contributor. Many diplomats toasted and even helped him with dishes.

"What is this? It looks like... Intestines? It stinks! "

Zhang Yuan is full of excitement!

"Don't worry, it's all protein when cooked!" Zhao Qingfeng seemed to see that Zhang Yuan was about to spit out and kept helping him with dishes: "and this, an egg of some kind of insect. A bite will explode! With this wine... It's delicious in the world. These TOS people like to enjoy it very much. "

Burst!

Zhang Yuan didn't have time to react, but he really burst open. This strange smell like lime water made him sweat in an instant and stifle the tumbling in his stomach... It's really not elegant to spit it out on this occasion.

These are sterile foods cultivated in the laboratory and will be brought back to the Mothership in the future. But he seriously suspected that some people really like to eat these ghost things?

After the celebration, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes bleary eyed. The task was successfully completed, and his bones seemed to fall apart.

He thinks that what we need most now is sleep. Yes, sleep!

Think about everything when you wake up.

What he longed for most now was to see the sister in the mothership. In a flash, he hadn't seen her for five months. How time flies. Suddenly, I relax. I miss it very much

When you go back, it's six months. The other party should have finished the college entrance examination and entered the University. You can get married with peace of mind

License?

At that time, boast about your good performance in this diplomatic mission. He Lao Zhang is still a young man. He can't boast like the old man. Why can't he boast? Especially boasting in front of girls, what a happy thing!

Zhang Yuanmei thought Zizi and went to sleep.

……

Of course, Zhang Yuan is not the only one who has a dream. Almost everyone in the embassy is having their own dream.

Can we really witness the birth of curvature technology in our lifetime?

No, it should be impossible to live for a lifetime. It will take thousands of years. Only if we can pass the assessment of extraordinary people and return to the world again can we have such a little possibility.

At that time, human beings were really happy.

No matter how broad the Milky way is, with curvature technology, where can't we go?

See a broader world and learn more about civilization.

Even some soldiers on guard were in a better mood. They didn't know why they held the celebration banquet, but when they saw that those high-level leaders were in a good mood, they could naturally guess that something terrible had happened, so they were in a better mood, and even hummed a little song in a low voice.

The vision of power armor is very large, and it can easily see the spacecraft flying around the planet.

This planet is where the embassies of various civilizations are located, and various transactions are frequent. Especially in recent years, there seem to be more spaceships

Every civilization has its own efforts and ideas. According to statistics, the frequency of arms transactions has increased significantly recently.

I don't know what will happen in this starry sky in the distant future and in the years after the departure of the Huantai civilization trading market.

At noon the next day, after saying goodbye to the staff here, Zhang Yuan and others boarded the return spacecraft again.

"Bon Voyage!"

"Bon Voyage!"

Seeing the ship full of negotiators, the tail ejected a bright ion beam and began an emergency return. Mr. Chen Mu shook his head, then returned to his office and sat in a chair to close his eyes.

Only some diplomats returned. As foreign minister, he had to sit in the Embassy

decade.

The two sides have agreed to stay here for ten years. All the muddy waters in the trading market, including the commercial alliance and military alliance after the relocation of the interstellar market, as well as various scientific research cooperation, etc., are not carried out.

This has given him a lot of leisure.

In ten years, all the things that should be bought, the points that should be consumed, and all the preparations are ready. As soon as the time comes, start on time.

The geographical influence of this trading market is nearly 200 light-years. Once the star trading market is lost, the place will be more chaotic and can not be as calm as before.

As for why the trading market should be relocated, many ambiguous information has been obtained over the years. On the one hand, for the Huantai people, the civilization here does not play a great role. On the other hand, it may be the interest game between higher-order civilizations.

For example, it is possible that the level five civilization, the alev civilization, negotiated with the level six amoeba civilization and gave up this seemingly neutral territory.

"But we're gone. What should the other human branch do?"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered Zhang Yuan's private conversation with him this morning.

"No way... No special good way."

This is the conclusion reached by the two of them.

Chen Mu has no special feelings for other human branches, but as a homologous human, from the moral and moral levels, he also knows that he should slightly help the human bases in the rear.

Even this kind of help may not be of special use.

It is absolutely impossible for the new human civilization to take them all beyond a thousand light-years.

Each civilization has its own general trend, and the Milky Way galaxy has a greater general trend of the times. The general trend of the Milky Way galaxy, taking civilization as the unit, the three-level civilization can't turn out any particularly big waves, and the key is to strengthen itself.

"... haven't we contacted the rear for a long time? I don't know what their life is like? Have you got rid of mediocrity? "

Just thinking about it, Chen Mu fell asleep vaguely... Dreaming that human beings really mastered curvature technology, soared in the vast Milky way, and even walked out of this starry sky and went to another river system to witness a broader world.

……

A month passed quickly, and the transport spacecraft finally reached the location of the mother ship.

Because it is very important and it is not easy to use electromagnetic waves to transmit messages in advance, the people in the fleet do not know how the negotiations are going.

"How about the cooperation with TOS civilization?" The first thing your excellency asked when he saw these people was this.

It's not that he is unkind, but that he really cares! They actually waited alive for six months and waited anxiously every day and night. What is this? Who can understand their pain!

Including all ministerial cadres, they all have the same expression of hunger and thirst.

"Of course... Succeeded!" Zhang Yuan was the first to get out of the gate of the biological disinfection area and said with a laugh.
