Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 244: We want a spaceship!


On the fourth day, the Gliese Civilization held another mathematics conference. Because Zhang Yuan himself is a mathematics expert, he has not slackened in his studies over the years, so he is obliged to participate in this conference on behalf of human beings.

All the narrations are very profound. What shocked Zhang Yuan is that other subjects will not be commented for now. The mathematics of this civilization is indeed very powerful!

Even, maybe even better than human mathematics!

In human society, there are many directions in mathematics, and even the foundation has not been laid, but it has been confirmed by the Gliese civilization!

"I have one more question about your thoughts. By the way, in our language, it's called the Hodge Conjecture..."

"Our current best thinking is like this..."

After three hours of discussion, Zhang Yuan became more and more excited, his old face flushed.

It's as if a raging flame is burning in the chest, this kind of communication does have a hearty and hearty feeling of excitement!

Of course, human mathematics did not humiliate Zhang Yuan. Regarding the "mathematics grand unification" project, and some magnificent programs, including a small part of the new civilization history, plus the article from The alien papers defrauded in Zero-XZ also made the opposing mathematician yelling and surprised.

The thinking directions of both sides are very surprised. There are many things that can make up for each other in mathematics alone.

After finishing this meeting, Zhang Yuan deeply understood the benefits of such exchanges between different races.

There are some whimsical ideas, if you follow the human thinking, you may never think of it.

He thought secretly in his heart: "If the mind of a civilization is broad enough, a multi-civilization alliance must be stronger than a single civilization..."

"...Mr. Amber, the mathematics you gave is indeed a very remarkable result. But I noticed that they are all four to five thousand years old...Can you tell me, your latest mathematics How's it going?"

When walking out of this conference room, Zhang Yuan asked casually.

Mathematics is black and white. Right is right and wrong is wrong. When you meet someone you can communicate with, you can really get closer, even race is not important.

Anyway, these things can be said to be high-pitched and widowed. It is too difficult and too difficult to convert into productivity.

The Gliese professor named "Amber" has fallen into an almost fanatical state in this mathematics conference. Even if the conference is over, he is still a little bit unsatisfied, and keeps asking questions after Zhang Yuan. .

However, upon hearing Zhang Yuan's question, his enthusiasm seemed to be suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to say..." The university scholar Amber sighed, "It's really...not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!"

It left in frustration. Before leaving, it seemed as if the whole back was squatting.

Back to the residential area, Zhang Yuan asked a few more partners, Zhang Yuan suddenly discovered that almost all the content exchanged in the past few days was the excellent culture before the second alien civilization appeared.

There is nothing in the history since the second alien civilization.

Zhang Yuan has some speculations in his heart, "In other words, after the second interstellar civilization appeared, did problems quickly appear..."

This thing is weird, really weird...

"Even, the second interstellar civilization is not necessarily goodwill..."

"But why should we help them develop into the power age?"

Finally, after a week, all the art and science exchanges were over, and all the top executives came to the table and started the final cooperation negotiation.

There is no good ink, Zhang Yuan said straightforwardly: "... Honorable Gan Yaduo, after such a long period of communication, we can indeed understand and appreciate each other."

"Cooperation is of course the best choice for both of you and me. We do not have a deep hatred, and there is no need to fight for a planet."

"The starry sky is so vast, our human eyes are never limited to one planet."

Zhang Yuan tentatively said: "But I want to know, what exactly is the cooperation you want? Is it the trade between the two parties, or the exchange of science and technology? Or the development of culture..."

The leader of the Gliese civilization hesitated to speak, and then a few people looked at each other, seemingly determined.

Gan Yaduo suddenly said: "We...want a spaceship!"

"A spacecraft that can sail between stars. For this, we can pay almost any price!"

"Including the knowledge you want, as well as a large number of production tools, all can be used as the subject of a transaction."

Zhang Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he was taken aback. All of a sudden, cold sweat came out of his back!

At first, he thought that the other party wanted the "Earth Age" of human beings. Of course it was impossible. After two seconds of silence, he realized that the other party was not referring to this.

"Impossible!" After refusing the opponent, he added: "...At least it is impossible for now."

"Our human civilization can indeed produce spaceships with constant stars, and in the long history, we have produced more than one. But that is our powerful mother civilization, not our current child civilization."

"The current productivity is far from being able to produce a constant-star spacecraft. We need at least one or two hundred years of development... So I cannot accept your request for the time being."

These are the big truths, the big truths that a fool can analyze. If humans can produce stellar-level spaceships, they will directly crush the Gliese civilization and negotiate a fart.

Furthermore, the cost of building a constant star spacecraft is too great, and each one has to occupy a huge amount of productivity of the new civilization.

Even in the future planning, there is indeed such a construction plan, but these spacecraft are used to realize the "Planting Plan" and the "Wandering Plan".

"If you sell a spaceship to the Gliese people..."

Zhang Yuan is frowning, arguing about the gains and losses. If only to gain some knowledge, it will consume dozens or hundreds of years of development time for the entire civilization, then you have to consider whether it is cost-effective.

"If the benefits are large enough, it's not impossible...but if it's just mathematical knowledge...no." He shook his head slightly, even if he was a mathematician, how to solve some mathematical problems To die curiously. It is impossible for him to betray the interests of the entire human civilization out of curiosity.

The other party asked again: "Then what price do you think we need to pay in exchange for a spaceship?"

After a while, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth again: "Your Excellency Gan Yaduo, I think you may have underestimated the difficulty of building a permanent star spacecraft. What size spacecraft do you need? How many people do you need, how far you travel? and The complexity of the ecosystem... How many production tools need to be carried in it? These are all things that need to be considered."

"The more difficult the spacecraft, the higher the cost of course...this price... is actually difficult to estimate."

Gan Yaduo directly said: "We have been thinking about this problem for a long time. Price is not a problem, as long as your civilization can be built...We must be able to pay the price!"

As a result, it actually came up with a very detailed plan, including the parameters of the spacecraft ecosystem, the population that can be carried, etc., obviously it was a long plan, not a temporary intention!

So much so that the entire negotiating team was a little bit confused by the second monk, and looked at each other in surprise.

"Wang Junpeng~IndoMTL.com~What's the situation? Even I can't directly approve this transaction request...Earth Age spent tens of millions of engineers' productivity, the entire thirty years of construction, do you know? We now have half a million people..." Zhang Yuan asked softly in the headset.

Wang Junpeng was also dumbfounded. As the first group of diplomats to come here, he was also dumbfounded at the moment, "I do... don't know their true thoughts!"

Do these Gliese people also want to emulate humans and do a deep space colonization? This is incredible!

"No need for them on this planet?"

"..."

Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and returned to normal. He carefully pondered the plan given by the other party, his brows suddenly frowned and stretched.

The reward given by the other party is indeed very generous. It will not only give mankind precious knowledge, including mathematics and common sense of cosmology, but also give away some valuable legacy left by alien civilization!

Including a...the so-called "fully automatic universal factory"!
