Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 517: All-round cooperation (6,000 characters big

With an order, all the astronomers within the civilization mobilized and tried to search for this information. They checked the past observation data over and over several times.

No!

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

If such a star structure existed, so many civilizations in the trading market should have discovered them and talked about them a long time ago.

Not within 100 light years!

Not even within 150 light years!

At this time, the Thoths were already a little panicked. 150 light-years, which is a big number for the third-level interstellar civilization, the long journey, coupled with the midway maintenance and rest, may take more than two thousand years!

Within 200 light years, it seems...still not...

"But it cannot be ruled out that there are some stars that have been missed and not recorded." The astronomer seemed to comfort everyone.

In 300 conceptual years, this search range is too large, and the Tussian civilization is not strong enough. The records in the database, up to 300 light-years away, still have nothing.

There is silence in the meeting room, and no one speaks.

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

The embassies of both sides are on the same planet and it is not difficult to connect. After about an hour, humans simply replied: "At least a thousand light years away."

Humankind only gave an ambiguous data. The starry sky is so big. If you look for it according to this data, it is impossible to find the corresponding star. Only when the two parties cooperate fully will the precise location be informed.

But this number directly makes these large baby fish lament, they don't think the new humans will lie here.

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

"We must purchase technological services in the trading market, through curvature technology, it is possible to fly over. Therefore, the new human civilization to find us, should seek cooperation in this area... A civilization rents a battle star to fly In the past, this was the cost, and the two civilizations were the same cost."

Another young Thoth immediately said: "Then, what the new humans mean... we can share this cost equally with the new human civilization, and we are willing to accept this kind of cooperation!"

"Split evenly? It's too easy for you to think of!"

Thomas shook his head and said to the still young diplomat: "You know, we have signed the so-called secrecy regulations, but the other party doesn't have it. The other party is even leaking the secret, as long as it doesn't hurt us, we I can't control..."

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

"So, we are a civilization alone. If we want to go to that place, we need to pay the full ticket. Even, we haven't found the so-called neutron star collision area."

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

"It is equivalent to buying this news with money."

This... it's so calculating!

For a while, there were no Thos in the conference room to speak. This logic seemed impeccable.

At the end of the discussion, Thomas said to another think tank member: "You go to communicate with the trading market and ask about the cost of renting a battle star."

Renting a battle star must be extremely expensive. Until now, the Thos have not had their own planetary fortress.

Except for some third-level civilizations that deeply cultivate their home planets, nomadic civilizations generally don't bother to build such bulky things.

After discovering that all his people were sighing, Thomas also shook his head slightly. What they desire most is to have a pair of eyes, for which they have accumulated a lot of amoeba points.

But now, compared to the curvature technique, a pair of eyes is really nothing.

A pair of eyes requires about 8,000 to 9,000 amoeba points. 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 make up for this part of the "software" in your brain, the following things will be simple, and the speed of self-improvement will become faster.

But now, if you want to pursue curvature technology, it will inevitably consume a lot of amoeba points, and the pursuit of this will undoubtedly be delayed for a long time.

After some discussion, at least 70% of Tuss people believe that curvature technology should be pursued first. Anyway, they are used to it now, and a few years later is not a big deal.

With curvature technology, there are too many places to go. Maybe another trading market has a civilization similar to what they encountered? At that time, it will be much easier to pursue a pair of eyes.

Thomas listened to everyone’s speech before continuing: “However, to go to the neutron star collision area, you must rent a battle star to realize the full relocation. This point of money cannot be saved. Otherwise, there is no In any case of protection, once the neutron stars collide, all our lives are lost."

"I just asked. The cost of renting a planetary fortress is calculated based on time. It is 40 points a year, and the speed is 10-12 times the speed of light. The minimum time for each lease is 50 years, so at least 2,000 amoeba points are required. "

"If you rent for 100 years and go to areas a thousand light years away, you will get 4000 amoeba points."

This fee surprised everyone. No wonder the new human civilization is looking for partners. If you go farther, you can't afford it at all.

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

"Yes, they shouldn't want this news to spread either. There are more Level 3 civilizations going there, and chaos will eventually occur."

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

"Between these priorities, there should also be a price to measure."

Thomas thought for a while, and the tentacles on the two heads flickered: "You are right, but it is the same for us. As long as the new human civilization does not cooperate with us, we have to rent For the other battle stars, pay the full ticket. If the new humans cooperate with us, at least, the amoeba points we pay may be less."

The young man said loudly: "Even if you pay less than one or two hundred points, it's not bad, isn't it?"

All the large baby fish in the conference room are calm, silent, silent...

Even if they knew the news completely, they still had to pay!

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

Yes, compared to paying the full fare, even if you pay less than one or two hundred points, it is considered an acceptable result for the Tuss civilization.

It doesn't make any sense to break the fish and the net. If the new humans do not choose to cooperate with the Tuss civilization, but choose another civilization, the Tuss will face the challenge of an alliance after spending a lot of money!

Thos people are not good at making friends, it does not mean that the new human civilization is not good, even if it is an alliance of ghosts, it is more reliable than completely strange latecomers.

After analyzing all the pros and cons in this way, one of the senior officials sighed, "I agree with Your Excellency Thomas. At present, it seems that cooperating with the other party is our best choice."

"Unless we don’t want to get Curvature Technology... But now, this piece of news about Curvature Technology is indeed reliable, and there is a certain chance of success."

The chief scientist nodded. They can guarantee that scientific inferences will not deceive. These days, they have used scientific computers to simulate many times. But without a large amount of really reliable data, these theories are always missing a large piece of content, and it is impossible to make up for the brain by relying on the brain alone.

This is a major event about the survival and development of the entire civilization. You can’t be overly cautious. They repeated the argument for a week, and after still not thinking of a better way, Thomas finally announced: “Negotiate. , Tell them that we are willing to bear part of the cost."

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

"There is no need for everyone to regret anything. The news itself is valuable. We just can't afford it. From a logical point of view, we should even thank each other."

"If you really get the curvature technology, this little price...what is it?!"

……

The second round of fierce negotiations restarted.

After reaching a consensus and reaching an agreement, the two parties began a very complicated negotiation process. All kinds of ups and downs are exhausting, and the Thos are willing to pay more Amoeba points, but they are unwilling to help humans pay in full.

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

The final opinion is that humans pay 1,000 Amoeba points, and Huantai Civilization pays 3,000 points to jointly rent a planet-star fortress and go to that star field.

In addition, the Tuosi civilization has to pay the equivalent of 800 amoeba points for magnetic field defense technology. These are core technologies and have never been stepped up in the trading market. It is equivalent to Tuss civilization paying 1,800 points for this news, which is already a pretty good result.

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

After all, it's okay to say that the two civilizations, the three civilizations, the situation will undoubtedly become more complicated, and there will be no way to cooperate when there is no way to cooperate.

Everyone is engaged in research and development, not in politics and gang formation with each other.

However, the problem came again. After being frozen for 5,000 amoeba points for confidentiality, the Toss simply couldn't afford the 3,000 points, so they had to unfreeze them first. This also brings more complicated questions, whether the secrets will be leaked, how to guarantee after thawing, etc...

This problem is also very realistic. Since it wants to leave the trading market early, Toss Civilization also wants to give 80% to 90% of its amoeba points to consumers in advance. This time the scientific expedition experiment will become benevolent if it is unsuccessful. Be prepared in advance. In particular, under the premise that there are a lot of resources available for purchase in the market. It is a sin not to use it.

So, after listening to the demands of the Tussian civilization, after friendly negotiations, humans agreed to the other party's request for unfreezing points, but a series of more complicated contracts were signed to ensure confidentiality.

……

This series of contracts is as thick as an encyclopedia, more than 600 pages, and the middleman "coco filiform warts" has two eyes swollen like eggs, "Ah, your two civilizations are really It’s too good to negotiate... The service fee is still... 5 points, thank you for your patronage."

The two sides have chosen to develop deeper cooperation and strengthen mutual trust. There is no such thing as a so-called trading market when you arrive in a place where you are unfamiliar. No one knows what will happen then... Maybe it is possible to encounter another civilization.

To choose to confront each other, it is better to cooperate with each other. Win-win is the best model in the "Prisoner's Dilemma".

After the entire negotiation, everyone looked tired. Even Zhang Yuan's eyes were red, and he was obviously overdrawn.

The entire negotiation process took five months!

Too long, as if a whole century has passed!

But everyone’s nerves are extremely excited. The fruits of victory this time are really too big. The unique technology of the Toss civilization equivalent to 800 amoeba points is very valuable. These magnetic field technologies are close to the level of the fourth level of civilization. , Far more than what human beings currently have, it can be used in all aspects of industry.

What's more, after people have completed this big goal, they still have more than 1,000 target points on hand. With this 1,000 points of hard currency, there are even more things at their disposal.

There was a celebration banquet held in the embassy. The ambitions were staggered. It’s also very interesting to hold a celebration banquet in the alien’s territory, especially since many of the dishes were taken from the Tussian civilization. Very strange things, it’s simply difficult. Eat to death!

"What is this, the sheep's eyeballs? My God!" Zhang Yuan, as the proponent of the whole plan, is of course the biggest contributor. Many diplomats toasted one after another, and even helped him with food.

"What's this? It looks like...intestines? It smells so bad!"

Zhang Yuan is full of excitement!

"Don't worry, it's all protein when cooked!" Zhao Qingfeng seemed to see Zhang Yuan's expression about to vomit, and kept helping him pick vegetables: "And this, what kind of insect's egg, bite It will burst in one bite! With this wine...it is delicious on earth, these Tuss like to enjoy it."

Broken pulp!

Zhang Yuan hadn't had time to react, but it really exploded. This weird taste like lime water caused him to sweat in an instant, and forcibly swept the river in his stomach back into the sea... in this way It's too inelegant to spit out the occasion.

These are all sterile foods grown 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 ghosts?

After the celebration party was over, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes sleepily. The mission was successfully completed, and his bones seemed to fall apart.

He believes that what is needed most now is sleep, yes, sleep!

Think about all the problems after you wake up.

What he desires most now is to see the girl in the mothership. In a blink of an eye, he has not seen each other for five months. Time flies so fast, I suddenly relax, I really miss it...

After I go back, it will be six months. The other party should have passed the college entrance examination and entered the university, and can get married with peace of mind...

Get a certificate?

At that time, brag about your performance in this diplomatic mission. Zhang is still a young man, he can't always be like the old man. Why can't he brag about something? Especially bragging in front of girls, what a joy!

Zhang Yuan thought happily, and then fell asleep.

……

Of course, Zhang Yuan is not the only one who has dreams. Almost everyone in the embassy is dreaming the same dreams.

Could it be... in your lifetime, can you really witness the birth of curvature technology?

No, a lifetime should be impossible, no matter how many thousands of years are needed, unless you can pass the assessment of the transcendent and return to this world, there is so little possibility.

The human beings at that time were really happy.

No matter how wide the Milky Way is, and with curvature technology, where can we not go?

See a broader world, and also be able to understand more civilizations.

Even some soldiers standing guard are in a better mood. They don't know why they want to hold a celebration banquet, but when they see that the high-level people are in a good mood, they can naturally guess that something great must have happened, so their mood also improved, and even quietly hummed a little song.

The field of view of the power armor is very large, and it is easy to see the spacecraft flying around the planet.

This planet is where the embassies of various civilizations are located, and various trading activities are frequent. Especially in recent years, there seems to be more spaceships coming and going...

Each civilization has its own efforts and ideas. According to statistics, the frequency of weapons transactions has increased significantly in recent times.

I don’t know what will happen to this starry sky in the years after the Huan Thai Civilization Trading Market leaves in the distant future.

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

"Good trip!"

"Good trip!"

Seeing that a spaceship full of negotiators, the tail wing ejected a bright ion beam, and began an emergency return trip, Mr. Chen Mu shook his head, then returned to his office, sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and rested.

Only some of the diplomats were returning. He, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had to sit in this embassy...

Ten years.

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

This makes him a lot easier.

In ten years, all the things that should be bought are bought, the points for this consumption are also consumed, all the preparations are ready, and when the time comes, we will start on time.

The geographic influence of this trading market is nearly two hundred light-years away. Once the influential behemoth of the interstellar trading market is lost, this place will be more chaotic and impossible to be as calm as it used to be.

As for why the trading market has to relocate, in the past few years, I have also received a lot of ambiguous information. On the one hand, for the people of Huantai, the civilization here does not have much effect. On the other hand, it may be Game of interests between higher-level civilizations.

For example, it is possible that the fifth-level Alev civilization and the sixth-level Amoeba civilization have negotiated, and then gave up this seemingly neutral territory.

"But, we are gone, what should the other human branch do?"

Chen Mu suddenly remembered the private conversation Zhang Yuan had with him just this morning.

"There is no way...there is 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 human being of the same origin, from the moral and moral level, he also knows that he should slightly help those human bases behind.

Even this kind of lining may not be of any special use.

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

Each civilization has its own general trend, and the Milky Way has a greater general trend of the times. The general trend of the Milky Way, with civilization as a unit, the third-level civilization does not produce any particularly large waves. The most important thing is to strengthen itself.

"...We haven't contacted the rear for a long, long time? I don't know how they are living? Have they gotten rid of mediocrity?"

Just thinking about it, Chen Mu fell asleep in a daze... dreamed that mankind really mastered the curvature technology, soaring in the vast Milky Way, even out of this starry sky, to another river Department, witness a broader world.

……

One month passed in a hurry, and this transport spacecraft finally reached the location of the mothership.

Since the matter is so important~IndoMTL.com~ is not easy to use electromagnetic waves to transmit messages in advance, so people in the fleet don't know how the negotiation is going.

"How about it, have you discussed the cooperation with the Tussian civilization?" The captain asked the first sentence when he saw this group of people.

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

Including all ministerial officials with the same hungry expressions.

"Of course... it was successful!" Zhang Yuan was the first to drill through the door of the biological disinfection area and said with a big smile.
