After listening to the human request, these Thothians were very surprised to think about the possible pitfalls in the human demand.

There are not many conditions proposed by the new humans, and they are also very reasonable, assuming that the two parties are really willing to cooperate, the confidentiality agreement must be signed.

But......

“……”

They discussed and discussed, and still believed that the biggest risk was that humans might defraud these 5,000 amoeba points!

After all, this trading market will be disbanded after three thousand years, and most interstellar civilizations will leave this star field at that time, and they will never meet in the future, and anything can happen in the whole process.

If the news leaked out by the human race itself, and it turned out to be on the Thoth civilization, wouldn't it be a loss of 5,000 points in vain?

“…… What do you think? ”

The leader of this group of large baby fish, Thomas, opened his mouth to speak, he was the highest official here, and the administrative commander of the entire civilization.

The Tothians really wanted to acquire curvature technology, and were willing to pay a certain price for it, but they did not want to take such a huge risk.

“…… It's not so easy for the other party to want to defraud. This contract is guaranteed to be fair and impartial by the trading market. All we need to do is analyze the possible loopholes and circumvent them with a supplementary treaty. ”

The interstellar trading market guarantees the leakage of the contract, and does not judge the authenticity of the information in the contract. This is a basic service in the trading market, and it doesn't cost much, and both parties need to share the cost of 5 amoeba points.

Anyway, whether the curvature news is true or fake, the Toth civilization only needs to keep it secret.

If the new human beings really deceive during this period, such a large list, Huantai Civilization will intervene to conduct a strict investigation, and under normal circumstances, it is not so easy to defraud.

Thomas sent a series of ultrasound waves from his mouth: "...... If the news that the new humans are saying is true, then they are not asking too much. But I wondered, what is there that two civilizations have to work together? The new human civilization does not have a deep friendship with us, if there is really a clue to curvature technology, can't we do it ourselves? ”

"Maybe they're in some trouble and need a lot of amoeba points, so they're willing to tell us?"

Discussions went and went, and there was no reason for the discussion.

After a long time, one of the staff members replied: "Your Excellency, we should add some regulations to the cooperation treaty: if the news leaked by the human beings themselves, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Moreover, the new human civilization can also be asked to use one or two thousand amoeba points as collateral. If the news leaked by the human beings themselves and deliberately framed us, then this part of the amoeba points will be used as compensation for the loss of our reputation to reduce the risk of fraud. ”

Thomas bowed slightly, and immediately vetoed the plan: "They can't agree to it." From a logical level, after all, it was the other party who told us the news, how could it be possible to vouch for yourself? ”

Another staff member said: "But no matter what, I still have to mention that the other party really wants to defraud, and I think the other party will retreat." ”

Another Toth said, "Also, I think the guarantee of three thousand years is too long, and perhaps it should be changed to one thousand or two thousand years." After 3,000 years, the interstellar trading market has moved, and it will become more difficult for us to spend amoeba points, and we must keep them for a period of time. ”

"Yes, that's right, freezing for a thousand or two thousand years, it's not much of a problem for us. Excluding these 5,000 points, we still have 2,600 amoeba points in our hands, which is enough to deal with various foreign affairs. But these 5,000 amoeba points must be unfrozen before the trading market is moved! ”

“…… We'll have to catch the last big auction in the market! ”

He added: "On the other hand, the secrecy of this information should not involve the common sense that is known. Let me give an analogy, suppose there are several things in it: the formula for the spectrum of hydrogen atoms is 1/λ=R, the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years, and so on. ”

"Of course not!"

"Otherwise, there will be no need to participate in any academic exchange meetings in the future, and scientists will inadvertently leak their mouths!"

A group of Tothians very sensibly discussed various issues, including the various loopholes, what their bottom line was, how much risk they could tolerate, and so on.

Even after discussing the whole matter, some of the Thothians hurriedly flew back to their base camp to demonstrate its feasibility, and it took nearly a month in between, which was simply to make the new humans in the embassy wait for a good meal.

The Toth civilization is such a very rational race, in the face of such big things, reason is higher than emotion, everything is in order, and the details are done to the extreme.

There are pros and cons to this ideology.

On the plus side, the chance of making mistakes is small, and the probability of becoming a downcast civilization is much lower. The vast majority of Toss people do not have a strong concept of "enjoying life", as long as they can sleep and eat well, it is considered a good enjoyment, and they do not have much desire.

But at worst, all of these baby fish have a bit of Buddha nature, a bit of tendon. Their world is black and white, not complicated, and the social system is constantly regulated by the "saints" who appeared in history.

The sages believed that society needed to keep improving, so they kept improving.

Coupled with the fact that they came into contact with a variety of civilizations, including the suspected "civilization of the sunkers", the vast majority of Tothians also believed that society needed progress.

That's enough.

Of course, no matter how smart the Tothians were, they couldn't have imagined that there would be a big pit waiting for them in the future. Because the new human civilization has not thought about fraud at all, the direction of the Tothians is completely crooked.

In this way, the two sides went back and forth, and they talked for a long time, and the regulations stipulated in various contracts became longer and longer, thousands of pages!

If you want to freeze the two thousand amoeba points on the human side, of course people are unwilling, and all the belongings on the whole body are frozen, so what are you going to play in the future? And I'm kind enough to ask you to cooperate, tell you a big news, and ask me to vouch for myself, what is this? It's completely out of line with normal logic!

Finally, after two months of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement: the Toth civilization needed to freeze five thousand points as collateral for leaks, and the freeze period was two thousand years.

But if humans leak secrets on their own, it has nothing to do with the Thoth civilization.

If the human side wants to frame the Thoth civilization after leaking the secrets on its own, the Thoth civilization will reserve the right to investigate retroactively, and can claim up to 5,000 amoeba points!
