Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 496: The second expedition
In a blink of an eye, three months passed like this. Zhang Yuan led the six young men and women in the laboratory on a small transport plane to the interstellar trading market for the second time, accompanied by some interstellar soldiers and rotating human diplomats.
Their main counterparty this time is the Toss civilization, a civilization that is good at magnetic field perception. Human beings are very interested in this strange race, not only its physiological structure, but also the history and culture of this civilization.
Of course, the history and culture of other people’s homes is not so easy to obtain, and even humans cannot publicize their own culture and ideas for no reason. This is a very taboo behavior that affects their own safety.
Talking about this, Zhang Yuan solemnly said: “So, even if you’re curious, don’t talk nonsense. Our main purpose is to buy some magnetic field sensing organs of the Tussian civilization, that is, biological organs. If we can buy more The paper is also good. If there are no ready-made biological organs, it would be too difficult and too difficult for us to fabricate one out of thin air."
"But, will they sell it? I think it probably won't. Even if you buy with Amoeba points, the other party will not be willing." said a boy wearing glasses.
The cells in an organ must contain all the genetic material of the Tussian civilization. If humans obtain these genetic materials, they can easily clone a Tussian!
This is one of the great taboos in interstellar etiquette.
Think about it, if other civilizations cloned humans, and then used this cloned human to do biological experiments and dissected him. Even if this human cloning does not belong to the will of mankind, there will still be a big disturbance within human civilization, and then there will be huge contradictions between the two sides, and even the outbreak of war is not impossible!
Or, a malicious civilization created a specific biological virus against human genes.
So within human civilization, it is strictly forbidden to sell any cells about oneself, not even a piece of hair.
Theoretically the same is true of the Toss civilization.
Zhang Yuan smiled: "So, the mutual trust between civilization and civilization is very difficult, not even a single cell is willing to be exposed... But it doesn't rule out that civilization that doesn't care about ethics, anyway. ."
"If it doesn't work, we can only take the second place..."
Soon, arriving in the inner ring trading area, the human spacecraft was connected to the communication signal of the Toss.
Because of several transactions, the relationship between the two parties is fairly decent.
"Dear human civilization, what new ideas do you have?" the strange-looking alien life said on the screen. This is the first time they have appeared on the screen.
He looks like a large baby fish, his limbs are a bit longer than the baby fish, and he has six fingers in total, very flexible. The only difference from the baby fish is that there are no eyes on his head. Instead, he has two bulges. Tentacles.
In other words, this civilized individual cannot feel any light. This may be because in ancient times, they lived in a dark cave and could not touch the light.
Because of this, the technology tree of the Toss civilization is quite different from the general interstellar civilization. Their technology products don't need a screen that can emit light, but they need a device that can emit a special magnetic field.
The changes in the magnetic field make up the text and pictures of this civilization.
The most commonly used tool is a strong magnet. When a strong magnet comes into contact with other ferromagnetic materials, some of the materials will be magnetized and become magnetic. In this way, it can be easily identified by magnetic field induction, forming a picture and Word.
Of course, the brains of the Toss can perceive magnetic fields, but they can’t feel higher frequency electromagnetic waves, let alone emit electromagnetic waves, so they still speak, the frequency of the sound is very high, all of them are ultrasonic. This This kind of ultrasound is a kind of complementary perception.
For human ears, high-frequency sounds cannot be heard at all.
So, they perceive the outside world through magnetic field, ultrasound, touch, smell, and taste, which makes up for the lack of eyes to a certain extent. But it's only to a certain extent.
After learning about electromagnetic waves, the Thos also yearned for light.
These are basic civilization information.
After Zhang Yuan explained his intention, the guy on the screen twisted his body, and a line of text was displayed on the human screen: "I'm sorry, my dear human being, in accordance with internal safety regulations, we cannot sell ourselves. Even if you pay a large amount of amoeba points, you still can’t."
"In fact, it is impossible for most interstellar civilizations with the same morals to do this."
"It's okay, it's okay, we can understand!" Zhang Yuan said quickly: "We just want to obtain scientific and technological information in this area, but if we don't have a ready-made organ, we really can't design it out of thin air... …"
He quickly put forward another proposal: "If your civilization is willing, we can apply for an open biological laboratory in the interstellar exchange market to exchange each other’s sensory cells. The entire experiment is open to each other, and genetic sequences are not allowed to be measured. , After finishing the experiment, destroy all the specimens. Except the data, it is not allowed to take any leave."
"We are willing to provide 167 different biological eyeballs, including human eyeballs, and share knowledge about bionic eyes. What do you think of this condition?"
Zhang Yuan added another sentence: "Of course, we will pay for the points of the biological laboratory."
Just borrow a laboratory, at most 0.1 amoeba points can be done.
After listening to Zhang Yuan's trading plan, the Thosian on the opposite side of the screen thought for a long time, but did not say anything.
As a rare species that can perceive magnetic fields, there is actually a lot of communication with other interstellar civilizations...
Similar experiments such as Zhang Yuan proposed have also been done, even more than a hundred times!
However, more than 20,000 years have passed.
They still haven't seen the real light. Other interstellar civilizations left with the magnetic field perception data of the Toss, but the Toss had no eyes, and many experiments were not well done, especially the biological experiments-it is impossible to put all organic matter in a little magnetic field. ~IndoMTL.com~ It is very difficult to obtain information in this area by relying solely on ultrasound and magnetic fields.
It's too difficult, it's really too difficult, I can't feel the light, just relying on the magnetic field, there are too many defects!
However, the Tussian civilization is a civilization with strong self-esteem. It has many scientists with tough personality. From a difficult environment to the present, it is impossible to achieve without a good quality.
After a long time, a contact came from the communicator, and the scientists were willing to conduct such an experiment because they got another chance...
Free opportunity!
The Thosian diplomat sighed, even though he knew that this kind of experiment was likely to yield nothing and was taken advantage of by the other party for nothing. However, even if the probability is one in ten thousand, you have to fight for it.
After the transaction was confirmed, the team led by Zhang Yuan couldn't help but cheered, spending 0.1 amoeba points to get the opportunity to obtain relevant information, which is really too happy for human beings.
