Chapter 317
(Title: Contact... Begin!)
After a while, with the precedent of Glitzer civilization, people were still very wary of this kind of cosmic merchant, even if they got a little benefit from the beginning.
The so-called defensive intention is necessary. Many soldiers have already worn the power armor and stood on their posts and are ready for accidents.
Some people also think that this civilization may be Amoeba's enemy, who deliberately robbed here and corrupted the reputation of Amoeba's civilization. Anyway, there are countless conspiracy theories, and nothing can happen, right?
After a long discussion, many people still believe that this opportunity should not be missed. As long as people are careful enough to communicate through electromagnetic waves, there will be no safety issues in theory.
Even if the other party gives some fake technology, what can fake information do?
Even if it is false information, it is better to have a little real content in it than to have nothing at all.
Zhang Yuan listened to the discussion and slowly spoke: "What kind of information do you want to trade? We must not expose the fact that we are rookies civilization, otherwise the loss will be small, and the insecurity caused will be a big deal..."
Because the distance between the two parties is still far, it may take seven hours to go back and forth. Therefore, in order to ensure smooth communication, the amount of information must be as much as possible.
Everyone hesitated for a while, and soon chose to turn against each other and quarrel to each other.
"Hello Amoeba Civilization, we have a lot of common sense about cosmic civilization, the specific history of low-level civilizations and some trends of high-level civilizations, as well as knowledge about biology, sociology, mathematics, physics, etc. Which one do you want to trade? What price are you willing to pay?"
“…We are seeking knowledge about curvature engines, and if your civilization is willing to trade this knowledge, we are willing to pay a high price…”
The reason why people want curvature engine technology is because this technology is theoretically something that low-level interstellar civilizations dream of. Kunlun Mountain's technical level is only the peak of the second-level civilization, which is much higher than that of the earth's civilization, but it is a bit far from the technology of the fourth-level civilization.
As for... the "consciousness upload" of the level 6 civilization technology beyond civilization itself cannot be used to fight wars.
So in the face of this suspicious "high-level civilization", humans still have a skeptical attitude.
After sending this message, people started to wait anxiously again.
7 hours are short, 7 hours are long...
Many people are discussing the points that need to be paid attention to this transaction.
Based on existing information, most civilizations will be stuck at the level of secondary civilization.
Just like humans, all the fish that can be caught are caught, and the rest are big fish that no one can catch.
The third-level civilization should be about the exploration of subatoms, life sciences, nanorobots and space sciences. Human beings are still in a very naive and can even be said to be helpless. The most troublesome thing in the universe is not the difficulty of technological development, but the lack of development discoveries.
Inexplicably, amid the various discussions, the spacecraft became a little suspicious.
Because it doesn't look as high-end as imagined, first of all, it's the structure of an interstellar ramjet engine, which seems to be just a technology of a third-level civilization... If there is curvature technology, why do you still need a ramjet engine? No matter how advanced it is, it's just a working fluid propulsion.
"This dark spaceship said it was an information transfer station for the Amoeba civilization. Is it just that he? Who knows if it's nonsense? Maybe it's a stuck genius civilization, and it's a fraud here!" A young man named Lan Bo was expressing his opinion.
One of the professors shook his head: "Mr. Lan Bo, I think that even if a spacecraft has the technology of curvature navigation, it still needs this working fluid engine as an auxiliary. Curvature navigation may have certain limitations, and it is not as free as an industrial fluid engine. Therefore, even if the technology of a third-level civilization appears on it, you cannot deny that it is a more advanced civilization."
This statement makes sense.
"This spacecraft sent out this message after we used flash bombs... It's very suspicious. If we don't use flash bombs, will we not send it? Will we cause some roadblocks and robberies?"
"...If you are discovered, even if you are a businessman, you will be a robber if you are not discovered?"
Zhang Yuan frowned. The conspiracy theories raised by those people made people panic, but what they said made some sense...
But if the other party is really not considered the Amoeba civilization, and only one spaceship can he commit robbery?
"Even if the other party launches an attack, as long as it does not destroy all human spacecraft at once, it will inevitably suffer a crazy counterattack from humans. At that time, no one will survive in this starry sky... There is no reason to do such a thing."
"And what can the other party get when attacking... I can get nothing except a bunch of interstellar garbage."
All kinds of messy speculations have caused a headache.
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "We don't have substantial contact with each other. As long as we are not stupid enough to say that we have any high-dimensional fragments, there shouldn't be too many problems with the awareness upload technology."
As for curvature navigation, it is indeed a technology that people are eager for, which means technology that can break through the light speed barrier, but people do not expect too much.
Although it is quite convenient to rely on cosmic strings for gravitational acceleration, it still has certain limitations. The navigation mode that relies on kinetic energy is impossible to break through the speed of light, and the route can only be limited to a small area around the cosmic strings.
In fact, according to experts' estimates, it is limited by material technology, escort technology and communication. If it is a spacecraft fleet, it is almost the limit to accelerate to the speed of light of 10-15%. If it is a planet, it can accelerate to the speed of light of 30%-40%.
But using curvature navigation means ten times or twenty times the superluminal speed navigation, no longer limited by cosmic strings, that is the real freedom!
In fact, this is just a nonsense. Which civilization that uses cosmic strings to navigate around cosmic strings, does not want to obtain real curvature technology?
Zhang Yuan didn’t expect to obtain Warp Speed Technology at all, just said it casually.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone was waiting anxiously, waiting...
The other party's response appeared!
"Hello, unknown civilization. We will analyze the authenticity of the information sent by your civilization. If it is indeed valid information, we will convert it into a certain amount of Amoeba points. You can use these points in the Amoeba trading market, or you can in turn buy our information and technology."
"As for fairness and justice, please do not doubt the integrity accumulated in the Milky Way for tens of millions of years of Amoeba civilization."
"About the curvature engine technology, it belongs to the fourth-level civilized technology and does not fall within the scope of this transaction for the time being. Please go to the Amoeba trading market to seek related transactions."
Below is a table about information prices.
For example, first-level information, second-level information, third-level information, fourth-level information, etc. Because information is something that is not known is valuable, and once it is known, it is not valuable. Therefore, the judgment conditions are very vague and there is no very clear qualitative standard at all.
Many people immediately cursed, which was really bullying!
Zhang Yuan frowned, that is to say, is the pricing power completely controlled by the other party?
Rely on the other party’s integrity?
But there is no way to do this. Even if humans bargain, what about the pricing power they need?
First of all, let’s not talk about whether the other party agrees. People nowadays have too little common sense about this, and it is impossible to trade fairly and reasonably... What humans really want, they don’t even know themselves.
Colonel Guo, who was in charge of military direction, suddenly said, "I think I can exchange some information and test the other party. It's nothing to suffer a little."
"For example, what is the so-called Amoeba Points? Is it a universal currency in the universe? So how should the anti-counterfeiting be designed and how to have a higher recognition... Anyway, no matter what, it is better than giving up this transaction."
Zhang Yuan nodded, this was what he thought...
What exactly is the universal currency of interstellar civilization? It is definitely not a paper currency. Is it a digital currency with passwords... or is it a bit far-fetched. Let's not talk about whether such passwords can be deciphered and forged. How to ensure that these passwords are Amoeba points? Maybe they are made randomly. How to judge the amount of the currency?
Or the Internet-connected Bitcoin model can ensure authentic anti-counterfeiting, but humans do not have a network between interstellar civilizations at all.
"It would be great if there was a network between interstellar civilizations. We could take this opportunity to connect."
"Don't think too much! That must be a network that is super-light."
After a while, everyone calmed down.
But what information do we send? What do humans have?
Humans have many things, but for the sake of safety, there are many things that cannot be exposed, such as their own origins, the technological strength and military strength of a whole fleet, etc.
"Or send a copy of the helium hydrogen ion cannon structure?"
As a variant of the ion cannon, only large spacecraft can install such weapons. The theory is not difficult, mainly because it is a material problem.
Zhang Yuan shook his head, "There is no need for this kind of structure. Maybe through this structure, the other party can infer our technological strength and material level. What if the other party has the ability to miniaturize this weapon? It is undoubtedly a behavior of showing off."
Li Zhendong asked from the side: "Or may send some conventional scientific and technological information to test... Anyway, it's just conventional technology."
By the way!
A flash of inspiration in Zhang Yuan's mind.
"We can send some information to test whether the other party is Amoeba civilization..."
He entered a text on the screen: "Dear Amoeba civilization, we learned that the high-dimensional prison located at the base of the ship had exploded, and a large number of super lives took the opportunity to escape in all directions. The artificial intelligence management of the η-high-dimensional prison has issued a hunting warrant for these super lives. If you catch the escaped super lives, you can get rewards from the Gaia civilization."
