Chapter Seventy-Three: A Big Harvest! (5000 words)
While waiting, everyone was slightly anxious. This feeling is like an otaku suddenly running into a bustling city, which seems a little uncomfortable......
It was also the first time that the new humans had formal contact with extraterrestrial life, in a peaceful way......
Soon, in the midst of a panic, an image popped up on the screen, and a big-headed creature appeared!
Frog-like eyes, a mouth, various uneven folds on the forehead, and three short tentacles at the very top.
At first glance, he or "it" looks a bit like Homo erectus!
However, it is clear that this species is not Homo erectus, because according to the text, this species was not born at that specific time period.
ββ¦β¦ There's a big deal? Oh no, dear guest, what are you talking about about the deal? The "multi-ball man" spoke in the universal language of the galaxy.
But from the perspective of Yi Feng and others, he seemed to be a little absent-minded.
I don't know if it's this alien species, which is already so decadent, or if it's really like this......
Behind him, there was also a group of similar-looking "multi-ball people", dressed in various equipment in high spirits, and then ran out of the door, they seemed to be doing something.
Only this unlucky guy on duty, disturbed by the new human, can only stay in front of the screen...... So much so that the representative looked a little unhappy.
However, he also has basic professional qualities, and he quickly adjusted his mind, showing a few huge teeth, and seemed to keep smiling.
Seeing that this "multi-ball person" turned on instant messaging like this, just like calling at home, and did not shy away from his appearance, everyone was also slightly surprised.
"Is this market, or even the galaxy as a whole, really so peaceful?"
Yu Yifeng could only give himself an explanation: "...... Well, in this kind of trading market, with the Hicks civilization as a platform, there is basically no possibility of being clever. It's just a look, it's really nothing......"
In order to show etiquette, Yu Yifeng and the others discussed for a while, but decided to ...... Be open about what you look like.
"Hello, Multiball Civilization." Soldier Zhao Yao stood in front of the camera, wearing power armor and standing straight, appearing on the screen in a soldier's style.
"Oh, Homo erectus! A new Homo erectus civilization! When this "multi-ball man" saw Zhao Yao's appearance, he immediately exclaimed loudly.
When he saw Zhao Yao's appearance, he secretly guessed: This upright Homo sapiens civilization may be the kind that practices militarism because of the long-term war, and it is a bit similar to the murderous Tiekui civilization.
"This kind of civilization of military management is the most difficult to deal with."
"People who have been fighting for a long time are crazy, this guy...... It can't be that Tiekui Civilization has changed its name, right?! β
This multi-ball man thought secretly, squeezing out a smile: "Hello, new human civilization, you can call me by my name directly, Banla!" β
"It is our sincere hope that you can win this long interstellar war. Applaud! "Banla" said to herself, clapping her hands and feet.
Everyone was out of sight of the camera, discussing in whispers.
Many interstellar civilizations in the galaxy are faintly biased towards Homo erectus, which they know, which is the main reason why the new humans are public.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this "half-pull" is deliberate, in order to lower people's psychological vigilance.
Yu Yifeng didn't talk nonsense, and typed on the side: "I want to trade a technology trade with you with more than 50,000 points!" Are you qualified to decide? β
Hearing this, "Banla" was slightly surprised, "Wait a minute, I want to consult my companion." β
Only then did he pick up the communicator, and Balabala said something in his mouth, as if he was in contact with his companion.
Immediately after, he clapped his hands and feet: "I have obtained the authorization for this deal!" Applaud! β
"But because I have a small number of people on my side, it is more troublesome to pick a large number of technologies, and your civilization is ...... It is true that the credit history is relatively low...... Ahem......"
"Dear guests, can you provide a small amount of high-value technology over there?"
Seeing that this "half-pull" was so crisp, and even his smiling eyes narrowed, Yu Yifeng also nodded and said, "Yes!" β
There are not too many contradictions in the other party's words, the credit history of the new human civilization is zero, and it is good to be able to find a trading partner.
The first time they traded, they suffered a little loss, and they didn't care too much.
Although Yu Yifeng was a little suspicious in his heart, what was so important that those guys didn't bother to come back, and they didn't even bother to do a transaction?
"Could it be...... This multi-ball civilization itself is this lazy appearance? He felt a little strange. But soon, he dispelled the doubts in his heart, what kind of ideology the other party has, and it has nothing to do with the new humans.
"Great! For our friendship...... Applaud! After hearing the reply, "Banla" was very satisfied, and slapped his hands and feet again.
The next thing is very smooth, with Hicks Marketplace as an intermediary platform, basically there will not be too much fraud, it is just a question of "cost-effective" and "not cost-effective".
For the first large-scale transaction, the new humans are not very eager to take advantage, and of course they don't want to be taken too much advantage by the other party, and they are like fools.
Obviously, the other party's thinking is a bit strange, some places are very relaxed, some places are very strict, the communication is a bit strange, and several negotiators are sweating profusely.
All kinds of arguments, all kinds of discussions, shopping malls are like battlefields, you can take a step back, but you can't back down step by step. You don't need to stick to your bottom line.
As the discussion deepened, all the new human beings gradually felt the bottom line of the "multi-ball civilization", they were very eager for "high-tech" and were willing to spend a larger price to buy, but for the existing "low-tech", they thought that it was worthless, and they did not even want to refer to it and learn from each other's strengths.
"It's too utilitarian." Yu Yifeng thought to himself.
After 18 hours, the first batch of transactions was completed.
"Electron cloud topology, Jimmy Dovich's mathematical analysis, the hysteresis benefits of light, new aerogels, the principle of antineutron generation...... It's a very useful technology! β
Dr. Rimbaud whispered in the corner, excited.
He can't wait to get his hands on this batch of technology!
These things are known to be very practical, but they are not studied too deeply, because they require a lot of experience, and they are not "smart" and can be done immediately, but practice is more important.
Now, it has appeared directly in front of you, how can you not be impressed?
"This kind of win-win exchange is indeed much cheaper than buying directly from the store, and you don't have to pay taxes!" Yu Yifeng thought to himself.
The first batch of transactions, the technology of the "multi-ball civilization", they picked out a lot, more than a thousand, these things are relatively trivial, and the general level belongs to the relatively low kind.
Of course, the price is also much lower than the standard price.
And the new human civilization has a relatively high level of science and technology, and there is even a standard discipline of genetic dynamics!
L4 disciplines, for Level 3 civilizations, have considerable added value.
The "half-pull" of the multi-ball civilization trembled excitedly, these things at the bottom of the box are not very difficult, there is no particularly big bottleneck, as long as there is enough time, they can always be developed. Therefore, most civilizations choose to do their own research, and it is extremely difficult to sell them.
I didn't expect that this time, there was really a big customer!
"Ah, the genetic dynamics of L4, the number of transactions is 0! You are such a rather generous civilization. We need to pay quite a price to acquire these technologies in a Level 4 civilization! β
"Applause! Applaud! Banla said feverishly.
Obviously, he was also very satisfied with the trading activity.
I didn't expect to stay on duty, and I actually picked up a bargain for myself!
Even...... He was a little embarrassed, because what he sold was indeed some low-grade goods, and as long as there was enough time, an interstellar civilization could always develop.
"Theoretically, we're already climbing the L4 disciplines...... These little things are all prepared for subordinate civilizations, allowing them to form a certain industrial system. Yu Yifeng also wrote on the screen without shame. His words are half-truths and half-truths, and they are very confusing.
"We also want to learn from more civilized ideas, starting with the underlying technology. If you have any good suggestions, you can provide some like us. β
This time, you have to buy enough at once. Anyway, this L4 technology was deceived from Quinton, and it actually does not involve the core of the new human, and it is not distressing to sell it.
However, the "zero number of transactions" at the back also reminded him that every transaction of technology will be recorded, and everyone doesn't like things that have been sold many times.
In other words, with an L4 technology, constantly peddling it to other civilizations, its value will only get lower and lower.
"Banla" heard his words, and paused again: "So that's the case!" Affiliated Civilization ...... Does the new human civilization want to challenge the intellectual barriers? It's very ambitious. β
"Applause!" He clapped his hands and feet, very hard, and even through the screen, he faintly heard the sound of "popping". He secretly thought in his heart that this guy was probably really the Tiekui civilization...... Want to rely on this turnaround?
"In this trading market, we know almost all the resident civilizations. If you need anything, let me introduce you...... We all love high-tech, high-tech. "Half pull" pushed the boat down the river and gave a favor, which is not worth anything at all anyway......
"That's great, thank you! Applaud! Yu Yifeng saw that the other party liked to applaud very much, as if it was a unique etiquette of the civilization, so Zhao Yao also applauded.
Zhao Yao had a straight face and applauded very seriously......
"Applause!"
Just like that, the data began to be transmitted, and more than a thousand practical sciences were received at once, and all the new human scientists were extremely excited.
"Happy working together! Applaud! β
After the first transaction, both parties began to use computers and their own algorithms to verify all the technologies.
There is no such thing as a "controversial technology", which means that all the trading targets have been verified by the Hicks market.
But new humans always have to verify themselves, and blindly trusting others is not a good thing.
When the scientific and technological verification passed, "Banla" completely smiled, and he definitely took advantage of it this time.
"So be it...... We've really taken a big advantage, and we're giving you 10 tickets to the New World experience! The most important part of Hicks Market is here, and you can't miss it! Banla said very happily.
Although when he said this, his heart was faintly aching, and he seemed to be a little carried away......
Then came the second transaction......
Third Transaction......
This was the end of the deal with the multi-ball civilization, which took 4 days and 17 hours, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. These days, they barely sleep.
The credit record of the new human civilization also wrote a small sentence to get rid of the dilemma of not having a credit record: "Completed three large-scale transactions with the multi-ball civilization, referring to the points contract of 33621 points." β
Many staff members immediately closed their eyes and even snored slightly because they had eaten a few tubes of high-energy food indiscriminately because they had consumed too much mental energy.
Even a superhuman body is a little overwhelmed by this kind of high-intensity work.
It's so tired, it's so tired, just picking so many technologies, plus all kinds of negotiations, it's already exhausting them, but they're tired and happy!
Yu Yifeng looked out the window, his heart surging.
His brain was still immersed in the frenzy of the future development, and he did not calm down for a long time.
"After digesting this batch of technology, the bottom layer is finally solidified, and there is no need to worry about it...... What a lot of effort saved! β
He vaguely understood why trading activity in the universe was so abundant.
Theoretically, there isn't much competition in this universe.
The universe is not lonely, needless to say, life is common, and there are actually many intelligent beings, and they have witnessed an interesting and vivid side these days.
Civilizations and civilizations can communicate in various ways, as long as they do not involve too many core interests, and on the whole they are relatively peaceful.
Also because of the big filter, there are only a few who can reach interstellar civilization. Basically, low-level civilizations don't consume much resources, and they can even be ignored directly.
In tens of millions of years, less than 3,000 civilizations have been registered in the Hicks market, and it is not excluded that some civilizations have used multiple names.
In other words, each interstellar civilization can be divided into nearly ...... 100 million stars.
Such a huge amount of resources can almost be described as infinite.
However, the resources consumed by interstellar civilization are still limited.
In the case that more advanced civilizations are very rare, an old L4 civilization will usually only entrench a few stars as its home planet, and will not occupy too many places.
Because the huge stars are enough for the L4 civilization. For example, the solar system once had a mass equivalent to 330,000 Earths, and the amount of energy that could be used to build a Dyson sphere was astronomical.
Can't pass the weak barrier, the L4 civilization's demand for resources is almost fixed, compared to the huge amount of matter in the universe, it is really not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the universe is too big, and even if there is a curvature to sail, too large a territory will only bring inconvenience to management. The closest Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light-years away, and it takes 4.3 years for light to transmit a message.
"So for these problems, many interstellar civilizations will occupy several neighboring stars for development."
"A solar system, if fully developed, will not be a problem at all to develop trillions of people."
"The gap between the strength and weakness of this universe is too great. I didn't go through the second screening, and I had to do it like this...... You can't use more resources. β
Passing the second screening is another giant leap forward, and even greater freedom.
For example, the Hicks civilization is not a native civilization of the galaxy at all, it comes from the extragalactic galaxy of Virgo, which is 40 million light-years away.
It's just a corner of their tour.
"Opening up a trading market is just a good thing."
The marginal civilization also comes from the Great Magellanic system. Running to the Milky Way is nothing more than a tour.
According to this probability and statistics, there are really very few high-level civilizations that can step through the "weak intelligence barrier".
The entire galaxy, millions of years, will not exceed ...... The number of hands is even less.
"However, there is not much fighting between low-level interstellar civilizations. Why did high-level interstellar civilizations produce a series of contradictions? Yu Yifeng's brows furrowed tightly.
"And...... For such a long time, the number of ordinary interstellar civilizations seems to be too rare. With hundreds of millions of years and billions of years of accumulation, there should not be only three thousand interstellar civilizations. β
"There will always be some civilization that has exploded like locusts and multiplied hundreds of billions, or billions of people, and what should be done at this time? Are they gone, destroyed? β
"Just like the Medamos civilization, although it has fallen because of the collapse of the system, it will not be ...... Completely extinct, right? The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how it declines, an interstellar civilization will not be completely extinct like a low-level civilization! Where did they go again? These are all kinds of questions that Yu Yifeng has in his heart, and these questions linger in his mind and refuse to disappear for a long time.
Soon, he came up with several guesses: "First, what we are seeing so far is only a faΓ§ade of peace. Destroyer civilizations with different ideologies may still be very aggressive. They will devour these weakened civilizations for more technological ......"
"Second, these interstellar wars for unknown reasons are just to reduce the number of civilizations......"
"Third...... Does it have something to do with that eternal world? A large number of interstellar civilizations ran to that place? However, what is the reason for them to abandon all their current foundations and run to another place where they don't know what to do......" Yu Yifeng touched his chin and felt a little inexplicable.
"Ah......h
Since I can't figure it out for the time being, I don't want to.
He quickly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep......
