After the academic results were presented, the next meeting was devoted to some important decisions about the direction of the entire civilization.

These include the distribution of material resources and industrial capacity. Now the material resources in the fleet are not rich, in short, they cannot be extravagant and wasteful.

Until the value of the trading market is drained, humanity will not choose to leave. After all, it took so long to travel, and it was normal to stay longer.

It is clear that the rate of progress of humanity during this time is very large, and there is no need to leave in a hurry.

And they haven't found the corresponding neutron star, although people are very anxious about this matter, but if they can't find it, they can't do anything.

The ministers of some research institutes are blushing their necks and fighting for the interests of their own research institutes, and almost all experiments have to be based on materials.

In the large conference room, the noise is like that of a vegetable market.

Zhang Yuan's "extra-dimensional perception laboratory" has nothing to fight for, as long as a few supercomputers, or resurrect a few intelligent natives from the freezer to do experiments, there is no desire.

This kind of experiment is extremely inhumane, the approval procedure is quite cumbersome, human beings are moral and compassionate creatures, in order to reduce the occurrence of psychological problems, the number of experiments is relatively small. After the experiment, in order to obtain psychological comfort, the quantum consciousness of the indigenous life had to be transmitted back......

In short, Zhang Yuan just stared dryly from the side, listening to the speeches of many colleagues around him, and watching them compete for resources.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but recall that when he was the captain of the ship, whenever the interests of the laboratory were involved, a group of laboratory leaders were also competing like this. The productivity of the fleet is indeed sufficient for the people's livelihood, and even greatly exceeded, but for scientific research, no matter how high the productivity is, it is not enough.

Many research materials are very expensive to build, and sometimes a research instrument the size of a fingernail costs more than an electric car. In the face of this cost, no amount of productivity is enough.

These researchers are crazy, and if they were really given infinite productivity, they might really build a Circumgalactic Accelerator!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile......

After so many years, people are no longer the same as they used to be, but the whole mental outlook is still the same as it was a thousand years ago. That's a good thing!

After all the productivity is divided, it is time for the next important link: the consumption of amoeba points!

Amoeba points are the hard currency in the interstellar trading market, and many interstellar civilizations work in the trading market to earn points, such as participating in some engineering construction, calculating some complicated data, and so on.

How many points can I earn in a year? People have estimated that if they do their best and work for a year, they can only earn a few tenths of a few amoeba points, which will not exceed 0.3!

This also shows that this thing is quite difficult to earn, and the amoeba points that humans currently obtain are earned from foreign transactions.

Since human civilization is the first time to appear in this market, each civilization has its own unique ideas, and other civilizations don't mind paying a small amount of points to buy a little new technology and understand each other's ideas for the new interstellar civilization.

Therefore, in this case, human diplomats can rely on the foundation of their thousands of years of research to earn a small point.

Next, the essence has been almost consumed, and the rest are core technologies that cannot be sold.

After the rest of the civilizations figure out the way of thinking of human beings, at most they will only communicate on an equal footing, and they will not be as generous as before.

Mr. Chen Mu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is speaking on the stage: "...... Therefore, everyone here, you must be clear that you must be cautious in the consumption of these amoeba points, and it will not be so easy to earn them back if you spend them. ”

“…… There is also good news to tell you, we have sold the historiography of the new civilization to several fourth-level civilizations, and with the previous gains, we have a total of 2455.4 amoeba points on hand. ”

"The discipline of the history of the new civilization, due to its innovation, has sold a total of more than 2,000 amoeba points, and at the cost of this discipline, we have exchanged the star path map of the fourth-level civilization and the development engineering knowledge of the planetary-level fortress."

"It's probably going to be hard for us to get such a huge number of points in the future. Unless you sell that high-dimensional fragment again, you will be able to earn some points. ”

This figure is indeed quite encouraging, and it shows that diplomats are selling the "historiography of the new civilization" for a good price.

In particular, the Star Road Map exchanged from the hands of the fourth-level civilization, as well as the development knowledge of the planetary-level fortress, are all good things with no price, and they will definitely be used in the future anyway. The fourth-level civilization has traveled to the galaxy, which is much more than humans.

"The purchasing power of amoeba points is quite high, and the information about the neutron star only needs about sixty points, but we still can't fully trust the Huantai civilization trading market. Information about the civilization of the Enlighteners 150,000 years ago costs less than twenty amoeba points. ”

However, people are reluctant to buy these contents for a while.

For the replenishment of material resources, as long as it is less than 0.12 points, all kinds of precious metals and rare earths are quite cheap.

"But compared to our huge needs, no amount is enough."

Humanity is only a third-level civilization, and its strength can only be regarded as medium in the entire trading market.

A branch technology of a third-level civilization only costs sixty amoeba points.

A branch technology of a fourth-level civilization, the cheapest is only four hundred!

Of course, it does not include curvature technology, as soon as it comes to this aspect, the price will soar, and if you want to win the entire curvature technology completely, it may cost 80,000, or even 100,000!

This is far from a value that humans can afford.

When it comes to the question of how to consume, everyone is silent for a while...... Even in some disciplines that have been stuck for a long time, the relevant experts are all red-faced and do not speak.

This part of the points is the public property of all mankind, it is easy to spend it, but it is difficult to earn it back, unlike industrial productivity, which will be there every year.

And there are some researchers who have a vague sense of self-esteem, they don't want to take shortcuts so simply, even if they are eager for these technologies, but they will fall into contradictions for a while.

Do you really want to buy it outright?

Humans really can't develop it themselves?

Are there any hidden dangers in taking shortcuts?

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said: "I have a suggestion: for the sake of the interests of the entire civilization, I still think it is necessary to buy some technology for the continuation of human life. ”

"The average life expectancy of our human beings has stagnated at 300 years for a long time, and there is no way to break through it. Maybe it's because we have too few biological specimens in our collection, or maybe it's because of other reasons that we didn't think of, such as our mindset, which has been distorted by various methods in the past. ”

"The average life expectancy of our human beings, in the interstellar trading market, is simply the bottom of the existence. The average lifespan of 300 years is too little, and it is not at all the number that a third-level interstellar civilization should have. ”

Some scientists blushed at this point, but they don't know how to refute it. After all, this is also the real truth.

Life is an all-round thing, although the current bionics technology is becoming more and more developed, but the vital brain still cannot be replaced, and if it dies, it will die.

Scientific research has always had a great deal of chance, perhaps a scientist has a flash of inspiration, and then this discipline can advance by leaps and bounds. In addition, if humanity is lucky enough to encounter a living planet, there is a group of species with a brain structure similar to that of humans and a long lifespan. There is no doubt that this discovery can have a great impact on human life extension technology.

But now, people have traveled for so long and have not encountered it, then there is no way, maybe wandering in the galaxy for millions of years, it may not be possible to encounter it.

This kind of thing requires luck, or maybe there is no such civilization in the galaxy.
