Chapter 3: Inferences

This translation is so weird that it makes the people around me speechless, and black lines appear on their heads...... What does it mean to collect waste, technology, and life in the universe? It's like the universe is in tatters...... Because this translation is so weird, so that the people around him haven't come back to their senses for a long time, everyone is full of sluggish expressions, God knows how long it has been, and Yang Varo next to him suddenly said: "My grass, how did it become a rag." ”

Yes, such a powerful cosmic civilization, which is already capable of traveling at curvature and speeds of light, is actually a cosmic tattered...... That's weird, isn't it?

One of the people next to him asked, "Could it be a grammatical translation error?" After all, the grammar of alien civilizations is definitely fundamentally different from the grammar of our human civilization, could it be that this is the reason for the translation error? ”

These words aroused the approval of many people, after all, to say that such a powerful civilization is actually in tatters in the universe, such a thing is unacceptable to anyone, and even as long as the head thinks about it a little, you can conclude that all this is nonsense.

But she didn't want to Bo Li but looked at the screen carefully, and she said directly: "No, it's a true translation, this signal alien ruin civilization does have an archive, it is a signal that their civilization has been in contact with, yes, it is that they exchanged two cosmic adaptors for the fifth industrial revolution, that is, the cosmic merchant civilization of the third and fourth cosmic civilizations!" ”

Cosmic merchant civilization?

Although the Hope, or this human civilization, has not really come into contact with alien civilizations, in another sense, they have actually been in contact with several alien civilizations, or at least know that these alien civilizations exist.

First of all, it is natural that human science and technology have advanced a large level of alien ruin civilization, followed by the alien merchant civilization that has traded with the alien ruin civilization, and then the liquid robot civilization that destroyed the alien ruin civilization, which is the first three alien civilizations known to human civilization.

The second is the alien Zerg civilization, which may be considered an alien civilization, and then the jellyfish civilization that was destroyed by the alien Zerg civilization.

Of course, the entire universe is like this, there must be many, many other cosmic civilizations, each with its own characteristics, and the level of civilization is completely different, but these civilizations are at least known to mankind.

When Polly mentioned that this was the cosmic merchant civilization, everyone immediately began to recall the information about this cosmic merchant civilization.

Judging from the incomplete information that human beings have obtained from the alien ruins civilization, this is a very wonderful cosmic civilization, they are not actually a civilization, but a cosmic civilization alliance formed by the union of multiple cosmic races, with the peak of the fourth industrial revolution, the early stage of the fifth industrial revolution, and at the same time have many, even hundreds, thousands of individual ships in the whole universe.

They buy technology, materials, and organisms from some civilizations, and then sell them to some civilizations that need them, and buy these things from these civilizations, and so on in a circular exchange, they absorb the technology of these civilizations in this circular exchange, and gradually develop themselves.

It's such a strange cosmic civilization.

Compared with most of the cosmic civilizations in the universe, cosmic merchants are rare "moderate" cosmic civilizations, at least they will not appear as soon as they come, even if they treat the cosmic civilizations with weak scientific and technological standards, they often appear as exchangers and merchants, and they are also many primary civilizations that have only entered the universe, that is, the cosmic civilization that is most welcomed by the second-level civilizations, because the most important star navigation charts can be obtained from the merchant civilization, as well as the fifth-level industrial revolution technology that may be exchanged. These are all important things for the continuation of the primary civilization.

When everyone figured out what the cosmic merchant was, the next question arose, did they really completely avoid this civilization and immediately make a space jump?

Because the premise of Yao Yuan's request for the Hope to make a space jump immediately was that the other party's cosmic merchant civilization was an unknown cosmic civilization, there was no information about them at all, no one knew what kind of life form they were, and the other party's level of technology was significantly higher than that of human civilization, and the result was that if the other party had bad intentions, then human beings would not have the slightest power to resist.

However, if we know what kind of civilization the other party is, and know the rules and guidelines of the other party, then the outcome of the matter may develop in another direction.

Yao Yuan's head thought sharply, in fact, he also thought deeply about this question, first of all, human civilization cannot never come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, and this contact is definitely necessary.

Prior to this, he had discussed with those scientists on the theory of the dark forest of the universe, but the answer given by the scientists was completely denied, because according to the words of scientists, the first article of the theory of the dark forest is that the speed of light is the limit that can never be crossed, and the maximum speed that can be navigated in the universe can only be the speed of light.

And once the speed of light barrier can be crossed, then it means that civilizations in the universe can communicate, although it is unlikely that there will be a situation of peaceful coexistence, but at least the dark forest theory cannot exist, not the kind of possibility that has been lurking and exterminating anyone who is exposed once it is found.

In other words, in order for human civilization to develop and truly become a member of the cosmic civilization, it is necessary to have contact and exchange with other cosmic civilizations.

Therefore, if this alien civilization is really the civilization of the cosmic merchants, then the human civilization really does not have to run away immediately, because it comes into contact with other completely unknown cosmic civilizations, and the risks to be taken at that time are from the perspective of the cosmic merchant civilization that comes into contact with the cosmic merchant civilization, maybe it is the best result, at least you can get some cosmic common sense from the cosmic merchant civilization, get some knowledge of getting along with other cosmic civilizations, and even some possible Fifth Industrial Revolution technology, Such as...... Curvature sailing!

Although the spatial leap of the Hope is very high-tech, it is uncontrollable, and the spatial leap is carried out without purpose, and no one knows where the next leap will be? The last time I found a new Earth, the Hope was fine, but it jumped below the surface not close to the core, but what if it jumped into a dangerous star? What about stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, or even more terrifying black holes? This is something that no one can say clearly, and the result can only be the instant disappearance of the entire human civilization.

Not only that, but many times Hope jumped to a position only a few light-years away from a galaxy, but let alone a few light-years, half a light-year is already a desperate distance for mankind, so it can only leave with eyes again, but if there is curvature navigation technology, such an opportunity can not be used? Even if there is no home planet suitable for the environment like the new Earth, but if some terrestrial planets are found, according to the current technology of human beings, it is not possible to create an isolated habitation suitable for human habitation?

So, curvature navigation is really a super useful technique...... The advantages of these general conditions are greater than the disadvantages of staying and waiting for this alien merchant civilization...... Of course, this decision can be said to be a gamble on the lives and future of all human beings, so Yao Yuan really had to be cautious, even after he had already made a decision, he still immediately asked Qi Xiaoniao and Ren Tao beside him...... Uh, Ren Tao?

Yao Yuan looked around very strangely, but he didn't see Ren Tao's location, which made him very curious, remembering that Ren Tao did follow him to this monitoring room before, could it be that he left by himself before?

In the end, it was the eagle's eyes that were the sharpest, and soon he saw Ren Tao who was sitting on a daze on an instrument about ten meters high, and then he was fished out from above by the eagle and others, of course, the question of how he got up is very puzzling...... Then when Yao Yuan asked the opinions of the two of them, the opinions of the two people were different, first of all, Qi Xiaoniao thought for a long time and said: "I think you can stay, as Yao Yuan you considered, instead of coming into contact with the completely unknown cosmic civilization in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to contact the cosmic merchant civilization, what we lack is information, the information of other cosmic civilizations, how many cosmic civilizations are in the universe, how are their surnames, how are they technological, how are they habits, how to communicate, etc., these are the most basic things, It's all available from the merchants of the universe, and don't they buy everything? We cherish so many minerals, why don't we just sell them some? ”

Ren Tao's answer was a little different, he said: "I also think that the key to staying is whether the universe merchant civilization has ever come into contact with our human ......."

The people around him felt inexplicable, and Yao Yuan asked directly: "Of course it's impossible to come into contact with us humans, this is the first time we've met and contacted them." ”

Ren Tao shook his head and said, "You know, we are not the only human beings who have left the earth, what about those high-ranking officials?" Their level of science and technology is far worse than ours, at least there is no other cosmic ruin that can just allow them to get technology, if they meet the cosmic merchant civilization, I don't think their fate will be better, you must know that the most basic civilization that can enter the universe is the second-level cosmic civilization, and the technology of those human spaceships is just the first-level cosmic civilization, do you think that if the cosmic businessmen see such a human spaceship, their first reaction is to trade with it, or to capture it, And then get to the point where the first-level cosmic civilization can space travel? ”

"And then as a result, they found that there were more new humans in our human race than they had imagined, and they bought and sold new humans for a large price......

"Then they met us, the humans of the second-level cosmic civilization, what do you think they will do?"
