Yao Yuan's words were quickly passed on to the merchant civilization, and then the merchant civilization was silent for a few hours or so, during which not only did all the information stop transmitting, but at the same time, even the small spaceship of the merchant civilization returned to the vicinity of the mother ship, that is, in the creation particle shielding space of the mother ship, presumably to exchange information with the mother ship.

In the past few hours, the people on board the Hope have been engaged in various discussions and speculations.

First of all, it is certain that the other party must have the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, even if the technology tree is incomplete, but the ability to use the curvature navigation itself already represents the beginning of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, so after Yao Yuan's words were transmitted, they must have hesitated to come up with the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution.

This principle is actually quite simple, technology itself is not a jump surname, that is, it is impossible that you are still trying trigonometric functions in the front, and then you immediately use stars as fuel, this kind of thing may only exist in mythology, and for the rigorous scientific world, this kind of thing simply cannot exist.

Of course, if you don't talk about the science itself, just talk about the use of its products, then it's not much of a problem, to put it simply, some animal trainers get a computer for the orangutans to scribble on it, and the orangutans can use it, there is no doubt about that, but you might ask the orangutan to make the computer or ask it to explain how the computer works? .

The reality is that the cosmic merchant civilization has mastered a lot of the technology of the fifth industrial revolution, which should be undoubted, but for unknown reasons, the cosmic merchant civilization itself does not have the reuse and in-depth research of these technologies, although this sounds incredible, but in terms of the information that human beings currently have, this is the case.

Compared with the merchant civilization of the universe, after they get the technology of the fifth industrial revolution, they can only use its products or buy and sell it, but human beings are completely different, when human beings get the fifth industrial revolution, they can do many things, such as analyzing the technology itself and linking it with the existing technology of mankind.

On the other hand, although the existing science and technology of human beings can only reach the level of the early stage of the fourth industrial revolution and the middle stage, the theoretical scientific and technological knowledge is already in the late stage of the fourth industrial revolution and even the peak, which is very similar to some examples on the earth, exaggeration, some tribesmen have never even seen what electricity is in their lives, but some countries have landed on the moon is a truth.

Therefore, as long as the science and technology of the fifth industrial revolution of mankind is given, even if it is not a complete science and technology tree or something, this has already brought an opportunity, that is, the opportunity for mankind to enter a new round of scientific and technological explosion and enter a new round of industrial revolution.

Perhaps the cosmic merchant civilization knows this, so the technology they take out is below the fourth industrial revolution, and a few are from the fourth industrial revolution, this intention is already obvious, they don't want to use the technology of the fifth industrial revolution to inspire mankind.

In this kind of waiting, the small spaceship once again came to the range of Hope's genesis particle shielding, and soon, a large amount of information was transmitted again.

"We do have the third and fourth level cosmic civilization technology, but the value of these technologies is very huge, and we have obtained them through many transactions, if you need these technologies, please let us know if you can afford them, we will buy everything, sell everything, creations, technology, lives, materials, everything, let's see if you can afford it."

This is the answer of the cosmic merchant civilization, in this case, a large number of pre-set material information has been mobilized, of course, because each civilization has different names for the material itself, so in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding, the chemical equations and various data of these materials are also recorded, gathered into a set of data signals, and then sent to the cosmic merchant civilization one by one.

After receiving these signals, the cosmic merchant civilization quickly classified the materials in these information one by one, and then gave their value.

For example, the most common iron, whether it is steel, or specially treated metal iron, all prices are 0.05 per ton, and then other metals, the value given is pitiful, the most is platinum, and the value is only 0.7 per ton.

In this way, even if all the Hope is sold, it is estimated that it will not be enough to buy the common sense information in the universe.

The next is the radioactive minerals, but their value is higher than everyone imagined, for example, the value of uranium ore is one ton per seven value degrees, and the rest of the radioactive minerals are much higher, and in this series of mineral values, one of them is obtained from the original newly born star system of those unknown radioactive minerals, its value is actually the best, one of which has reached more than 370 value degrees per ton, and several small amounts of associated minerals of this radioactive surname minerals, its value is only tens of value degrees per ton.

At this time, Ren Tao suddenly moved his eyebrows a few times, and whispered a sigh, Qi Xiaoniao, who was standing beside him, didn't react at first, but then after noticing Ren Tao's actions, he looked at some of the previous data sharply, and after a while, he also made a sigh, but neither of them spoke, and still looked quietly.

The rest of the experts were also watching from the side, and kept calculating the value of these materials, but the more they looked at them, the more ugly their faces became, when all the minerals of the Hope and the materials of the radioactive minerals were counted clearly, and all the materials known to the human race were sold, it was not enough for 10,000 values, it was 10,000 values!

In that case, not to mention the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, even some common sense information in the universe cannot be purchased, and it can be said that the wealth that human beings can possess is pitiful.

The next thing is to start transmitting the genetic maps of any various organisms that they currently have, but when transmitting, Ren Tao and Qi Xiaoniao said at the same time that they should not transfer the genetic maps of alien plants, the genetic maps of the six-legged black dragon, and the genetic maps of the Zerg aliens, and it would be okay to transfer the rest of the organisms in the past.

Compared with minerals such as metals and radioactive minerals, the value of the genetic information of these creatures is much higher, for example, the simplest rice gene map and ten samples, the combined value is more than 100, and the minimum value of a living creature is 500, and when they saw this, everyone's faces became better, but Ren Tao and Qi Xiaoniao showed a look of surprise, but they didn't say anything, just waited until all the information was transmitted.

Yao Yuan had already seen the change in their expressions, and he also had many doubts that he wanted to ask clearly, but now was not the time, when all the biological gene maps were sent over, and the relevant personnel planned to continue to transmit the relevant information of science and technology, but at this time, they were stopped by Ren Tao.

"That's it, tell these cosmic merchants that there is only so much we can come up with, and if we can't buy the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, then we can't do anything, so let's cancel this deal." Ren Tao said directly to the liaison officer.

The liaison staff looked at Yao Yuan in embarrassment, Yao Yuan looked at Ren Tao and Qi Xiaoniao strangely, and the expressions of these two people were extremely indifferent, as if there was no problem with this sentence.

Yao Yuan was not stupid, he immediately understood that the message sent by the universe merchant civilization must be tired, so he immediately asked the liaison staff to send the message directly, and at the same time he asked the two of them: "Can you explain to me what is boring?" Why stop us from continuing to report technology? There is simply not enough technology to buy the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution. ”

Ren Tao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and didn't speak, but Qi Xiaoniao said: "Because these alien merchant civilizations take us as the wronged leader, uh, what should I say?" In short, the value of a thing depends on its function and the amount of material that can be equivalent, right? For example, if we use gold as an equivalent when we are on Earth, what if we are on a golden planet? What will the people there take gold for? Stones, maybe the mud of that planet is the value of our planet's gold. ”

"It's the same thing here, many of the things that we think may be precious, but the extraterrestrial traders, or the universe, think are not important at all, or even garbage or something, and this creates a difference in equal value, but there is one thing that we need to be clear, just like when we were dealing with alien plants."

When Qi Xiaoniao said this, he almost looked at the data with a mockery and said: "There may also be things that we think are not important, but they are super precious treasures in the universe, and this kind of thing is likely to exist, but because we don't know the value of various materials in the universe, it is very likely that the merchants of the alien universe will get these treasures for a very small value, after all, their civilization has a merchant's son on the name, and it is very likely that there will be no annihilation and no business." ”

Yao Yuan nodded affirmatively: "That's right, this situation is likely to occur, this is the difference in values between the two sides, maybe we treat it as a treasure, others as garbage, we treat it as a garbage, others as a baby, I know what you mean, if there are those treasures in the material information we have sent, then the alien merchant civilization is likely to prevent us from leaving, because they want to take advantage, but they also want to trade, so they will not give up this deal, but, Are you really sure there's anything in there that they think is important? You have to know that this is the only opportunity to trade......"

Before Qi Xiaoniao and Ren Tao could speak, at this time, the reply of the alien merchant civilization had already appeared.

“…… Our civilization has always helped the weak nascent cosmic civilization, although your materials are very poor and unimportant, but we also want to continue this transaction, but you also need to add something else, preferably the main life form of your civilization, or the cosmic adaptor......"
