Because of the relationship between the genesis particles, neither of the two sides of the negotiation knew the status of the other party, but the negotiations continued, and the small spaceship of the Observer and the alien merchant kept going back and forth, bringing back the progress of the negotiations between the two sides, which also made the originally worried human side gradually settle down and deal with this business exchange with all its might.

During this period of time, the human side also accompanied the aliens many times to check the physical objects to confirm that the human beings did have something to exchange technology and information, and it was not the practice of empty gloves white wolves.

All in all, the negotiation lasted for more than a day, so much so that Midway Eagle and the others had to go back to the Observer to rest, sleep, eat, etc., and the negotiations between them were still at an impasse, that is, the alien merchants thought that they had suffered a loss, and the humans had nothing to exchange, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to negotiate, and there was no other way to think of anything else.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day (humans changed it to 24-hour standard time on Earth) that a manager was recording the day's electricity and water consumption in an internal life-support system adjustment room on the Hope, and suddenly he noticed something strange in the data, if any, it looked like a strange set of signals.

At first, he didn't think there was anything, but then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, you must know that all the program systems of the Hope are basically directly connected to the central computer of the Hope, in other words, once the program is wrong, then there is a problem with the central computer of the Hope, which is not a small problem, because if this is the case, then it is likely to cause the life support system of the Hope to stop instantly, and that is a matter related to everyone's surname!

So he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately checked and checked the system, but the signal disappeared quickly, which made him feel that things seemed to be big, it was really impossible to be careless, you must know that even if you don't lose anything, you have to think about your own surname, in case something really happens, then it is yourself who dies.

Next, the staff reported the information, and the middle managers above attached great importance to this matter, and they immediately sent technicians to start the investigation, and then they found that this signal really existed, it was a signal of information encryption, and it used a quantum password lock that they had never seen.

In view of the unclear situation, the middle-level managers reported this information upwards again, layer by layer, until the final report reached the senior level, and even Yao Yuan knew about this matter, and he did not dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately organized a group of senior technical personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection and investigation.

Soon, the results were reported, this signal is similar to the signal of the alien merchant, it also uses the same quantum encryption system, and has the same quantum signal lock, of course, the content is definitely different from the previous content, but there is no doubt that it must be the signal of the alien merchant.

This situation is strange, could it be because the alien merchant's signal has leaked, or caused interference?

This situation is very likely, so Yao Yuan walked towards the conference room where he was negotiating with alien businessmen with such doubts, he thought about all this suspiciously as he walked, and did not pay attention to the road and the surrounding situation, just as he approached the conference room, his feet suddenly slipped, and he fell directly to the ground, plopping, and fell extremely hard.

This time, even his head was broken, and the blood flowed out directly, and when Yao Yuan looked back, he saw a glass bead behind him, very strange, why is there a glass bead here? This is a passage relatively close to the bridge of the Hope, basically no ordinary people and their children come over, and there are people who often clean it, why are there glass beads left here?

When Yao Yuan was puzzled and was about to stand up, a huge figure in front of him passed him, it was one of the races of alien merchants, that is, the burly four-armed orangutan race, more than three meters tall, he just glanced down at Yao Yuan slightly, because he was wearing a spacesuit or something, so Yao Yuan didn't know what kind of expression it was, but he just felt that it was contempt...... When Yao Yuan stood up, he had already turned back, and in the contempt shown by the four-armed orangutan just now, he seemed to see something, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and immediately rushed towards the location where the original information was processed, and when he rushed back there, the people there seemed to be still working on cracking this signal with a quantum password lock.

Yao Yuan didn't say anything more, but ordered that this signal must be cracked as soon as possible, what does it mean, what does it do, it must be cracked immediately, he now has a very bad feeling in his heart, not to mention anything else, this mysterious signal will be the basis for solving all doubts!

In the next few hours, the progress of the technicians was unusually slow, so that Yao Yuan had to stay back to transmit the information Zhang Heng, for computer signals and so on, he is the most proficient person on the entire Hope, especially for computer signal passwords or something, Zhang Heng is also the most proficient.

However, this quantum state password lock is extremely difficult, because it is not a fixed set of passwords or data, but presents a constant change and repair situation, even if there is a central computer of hope for calculation, this quantum state password still cannot be completely broken, and even if it is only a little bit not broken, it will be repaired and changed in a very short time, this is the most troublesome situation.

Until Zhang Heng chose another way, that is, he no longer forcibly cracked it, but used the alien ruins civilization signal sent by the aliens before, and used some of the data for comparison, so as to achieve the purpose of cracking, and this work requires a lot of repeated steps, Zhang Heng, as well as more than a dozen of his assistants, are busy, and it is expected to be deciphered in three hours.

Seeing this, Yao Yuan no longer continued to urge them, but continued to wait quietly, but he didn't expect that at this time, those merchant elites contacted him.

"Captain, the tone of these alien businessmen suddenly became very tough, they said that this negotiation has lasted too long, but we have no sincerity, so they want us to develop a deal that will allow them to sell the technology of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, otherwise all negotiations will be over."

Yao Yuan immediately knew that things were bad, but for a while he couldn't figure out what kind of things were bad, and he always felt that there was something he hadn't thought of, but he immediately asked, "Oh? What kind of deal is it? What exactly do they want? ”

"Cosmic Adaptors...... That is, our new humanity! ”

Hearing this, Yao Yuan even got goosebumps on the spot, this is exactly what he, Ren Tao, and Qi Xiaoniao are most worried about, that is, the advanced cosmic civilization has the scientific and technological ability to detect new human beings, which is also the most terrifying situation, once this kind of thing really happens, then no one dares to guarantee that the alien merchant civilization can really live in peace.

This matter was too urgent, so that Yao Yuan didn't dare to wait here any longer, he hurried to the conference room, the group of business elites were arguing with ten alien businessmen about something, when Yao Yuan arrived, they immediately told Yao Yuan all the situation, it was nothing more than that this group of alien businessmen were already impatient, clamoring to buy new humans, they asked to buy at least half of the new humans, otherwise the deal would be canceled immediately, and the language aspect has become more and more heavy, even to the point of despising humans.

Yao Yuan also immediately listened to their language translation, and sure enough, there were all kinds of roars and disdain, and there was anger in his heart at the moment, but he still barely restrained himself, and just said to these alien merchants: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, our human civilization is different from your alien merchant alliance, our civilization only has an intelligent life subject like humans, and it is impossible for humans to trade and auction it......"

The alien merchant with a huge head immediately said: "Don't say such stupid words, survival in the universe is the most important thing, we provide you with the best third-level and fourth-level cosmic civilization technology, and you only provide half of the cosmic adaptors to us, this deal is very suitable, as the leader of your civilization, why can't you tell the difference between good and bad?" Besides, for a low-level civilization like yours, shouldn't you show some kindness in the face of a civilization that is even more advanced than you? ”

The anger in Yao Yuan's heart became more and more vigorous, but he still didn't have any impulse, after all, this is not a dialogue between one person and another, this is a dialogue between one civilization and another civilization, so he still restrained his anger and said: "We still have many other things that can be traded, our minerals, radioactive minerals, and many other things, everything can be traded, but I'm sorry, the main body of our civilization, this is not for sale......"

The alien merchant suddenly made a rattling sound, which sounded like a duck was crowing, and the rest of the alien merchants also made different sounds, and the big-headed alien merchant still said, "But we only want cosmic adaptors now, this is the only thing we want." ”

"Want me to repeat it again? New Human ...... Don't sell! ”

Yao Yuan's eyes had already narrowed, it was definitely not a kind gaze, and just as he spoke, suddenly the liaison rang, and from inside came the urgent voice of the liaison officer: "Captain! The information I received just now, yes, it wasn't the information band of the merchant civilization, it was ......"

"The information band of our planetary humanity! They've come into contact with other humans who have escaped from Earth! ”

At the same time, just when Yao Yuan felt bad, all the power supplies of the entire Hope turned black, but they lit up again in an instant, but at this moment, everyone on the Hope found that they could no longer indulge the Hope!

The entire Hope has been taken over by the central computer!
