Chapter 51: A Little Informative (1)
I don't know if it was out of confidence in his own strength or for some other reason, but the curator did not hide his intention from the beginning.
They generously exposed the coordinates of their space station in this star region in front of Mu Yunsheng.
Unexpectedly, judging from the information fed back by the probe, the space station where the curator who contacted the empire was located was in a nearby planetary system.
"This ...... Ahem, I don't know what to call this Mr. Curator? ”
"It's rude, Emperor of the Fantasy Species, you can call me Pisato, and I'm one of the twelve Speakers of the Curators' Council."
"Mr. Bissato, do you have anything to do with contacting the Empire?"
Mu Yunshang was very curious, according to his original habitual thinking, the two civilizations in the universe should have been more or less hostile when they first came into contact.
No one can be sure of the attitude they will have towards another civilization they encounter – what if the other person is a complete racial cleanist and xenophobia?
"Emperor of the Fantasy Species, as I said before, we curators don't have a planet of our own - while we are perfectly capable of finding a suitable planet to live on, we are not willing to do so, we prefer to wander the universe and collect and preserve precious knowledge."
"Admirable behavior."
Mu Yunshang nodded.
"Thank you for your compliment, Emperor. It seems that you are also a person who has a great respect for knowledge, and we curators love to deal with people like you most – yes, we collect and preserve knowledge, and we are happy to pass it on to others, as long as they are willing to pay some money to fund our activities.'"
(I see, is it a business...... )
It's like those foundations on Earth pull sponsorship?
"Is he credible?"
Mu Yunshang turned her head to Coral and asked.
When he said this, although the communication with the curator was still in contact, the Night Raven cut off the audio channel, so the other party did not hear the discussion between Mu Yunshang and Sango.
The curator on the opposite side should have encountered this situation more than once, so he did not show any dissatisfaction and just waited patiently.
"Your Majesty, when we first started to contact the curator, all communication was transmitted back to the rear in real time, the military department is studying and analyzing this, and the probe has also arrived near the curator's space station, we believe that the other party has discovered our probe, but they have nothing to prevent us from detecting."
After a pause, Sango's expression was rather strange.
"I can't believe that there is such a race in the universe, in our opinion, this is completely an act of seeking death, are they not afraid that the empire will directly wage war against them and rob them of all their knowledge and research results?"
Perhaps, the other party is very confident? How does their strength compare to the Empire? ”
"I don't know, the scientific and technological strength is unknown, the strength of the army is unknown, everything is unknown, and the military department suggests not to act rashly, and you can have a tentative exchange with them for the time being."
Soon, the research suggestions from the rear were sent to Mu Yunsheng.
Sure enough, as Mu Yunshang expected, the military department also thought that the empire could try to communicate or trade with the curators.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting—after all, you're a complete stranger to the Empire, and we need to be vigilant."
"It doesn't matter, you're a wise emperor. While it is easier to communicate with a foreign-friendly race, it is also more likely to invite disaster. But you can be confident that we curators will never take the initiative to attack other races, except in the case of purifiers."
"Purifier? Can you tell me about the Purifiers? ”
"Of course, I would be glad to, Your Majesty. It's just that it's supposed to be a deal, isn't it?'
Really......
Mu Yunshang nodded, it was easier for the other party to characterize the exchange of intelligence as a transaction, if the curator directly answered the empire's question without asking for anything, Mu Yunshang would have to worry instead.
"I love trading." Mu Yunshang clapped her hands, "I don't know if there is anything that can serve you?" ”
"Wait, Venerable Emperor, we will send you a list."
Not long after, the voice of the Night Raven sounded in the bridge-
"Your Majesty, receive a list of transactions from the curator."
"Good, let's see what they want."
A long document immediately appeared in the holographic projection.
To Mu Yunsheng's surprise, he originally thought that these curators, who claimed to be committed to constantly improving their posture ♂, would be more enthusiastic about the various technologies of the empire, but he didn't expect that their trading scope was more about various minerals and resources.
Of course, information such as star charts and so on is also within the scope of trading.
In addition, the curator also sent an agreement document in passing, which stated that the Empire would only agree that it would not take the initiative to attack the exhibitor and help the other party in the event of a disaster, and the curator would sell all kinds of information to the Empire.
"Your Majesty, our curators and many civilizations in the universe have similar deals and agreements, and if one party violates the agreement, we will downgrade the credit rating of the other civilization, and will notify all civilizations that have traded with the curator."
Mu Yunsheng: "............"
(Do you think you're an international credit rating committee?) )
I didn't expect such a strange civilization to exist in the universe.
"Well, the Empire agrees in principle to sign this agreement, but there is one condition - you cannot directly threaten the core interests of the Empire."
"Don't worry, fantasy species. We curators are only interested in knowledge, and the reason why we prioritize resources and minerals in our transactions is also to be able to devote more energy to the collection and preservation of knowledge."
…… A large library similar to that fed by all the civilizations that signed the agreement?
Perhaps, signing this agreement would be of great benefit to the Empire - at least for now, it seems that the Empire can learn about the Purifier directly from the curators.
"Well, then, have a good deal, Mr. Bissato."
"Happy trading, Emperor. Now you can make a request, and we will make an offer based on the value of the intelligence and knowledge."
Mu Yunshang nodded.
"Very well, Mr. Bissato, the Empire wants to know everything about the Purifier."
"Sure enough, is it the Purifier......
Curator Bi Satuo showed a smiling face - Mu Yunshang really wanted to complain about the standard Jin curator's embarrassed smile, how did the facial muscles of these curators move!?
Looking at the smile that made people complain, Mu Yunshang always felt that she was facing a profiteer who thought in her heart, "Another stupid mentally retarded person with a lot of money has taken the bait......
