It seems that the other side has indeed come with the purpose of communicating on an equal footing, and the US representative at the negotiating table could not help but relax a lot when he thought of this.

However, some people think that the integration of nationalities often begins with cultural exchanges and ends with military conquest.

But this is always more acceptable than the violent conquest in some literary works, and the thought just flashes through their minds.

"As you have learned, we Rohr people are born with a long lifespan, so the research in this area is mainly the study of correcting genetic defects and avoiding diseases, and the technology that is really used to prolong life is not well developed; And no matter how we modify our genes, it is impossible to reach the point of immortality, after all, there are all kinds of things in the environment that are beneficial to us at the same time, but also harmful to us. For example, the oxygen you breathe is harming your body at the same time, the faster your metabolism is, the more obvious this harm is, but it does not cause disease, it only causes the decline of the organs, and then the phenomenon of aging. This is the wonderful universe, we can't get rid of it, we can only minimize this effect, and this stellar ray, although it provides the energy we need, but also has an external danger to the human organs, and in most cases it does not cause disease, but also damages the function of the organs, which we can do not do. Locke was well aware of the thoughts of these intelligent beings, and continued to explain to them so that the other side would not become hostile to the final disappointment.

"Thank you for your concern for the people of the earth, we understand what you said, even the sun has the moment of death, not to mention our tiny intelligent life, what we want is to spend our life as comfortably as possible, which I think all intelligent life has the same opinion." One negotiator said that after listening for so long, he finally grasped a little common ground between the two sides.

"Well, that's it, I think this gentleman said what we all want, as beings with the same high intelligence, there is no fundamental conflict and opposition between us, you were wary before, we can understand it, when facing a race stronger than ourselves, this worry is very normal, but we are not barbarians, and we will not use force against other civilized races for no reason, unless the other party takes the initiative to attack us. The stage of civilization you are currently in is almost to this point, and it can be seen from the development of the history of war on your earth that you are at a low peak in the history of war, and there has been no world war for quite a long time," Locke commented objectively.

"Thank you Governor Locke for your evaluation, I think we are all a little off-topic, so what are the specific needs of the spiritual products you just mentioned, can you make a list, we will collect and provide as much as possible in exchange for your technology," someone pulled the topic back.

"This is very easy to do, we have brought it, you can take a look at it on the spot, and put forward your own opinions." Locke waved his hand, and a robot on duty placed the documents in front of the delegates.

Literary and artistic works, paintings, sculptures, all kinds of entertainment tools, their contents are varied, these representatives are not confused, these relatively elegant things are still quite dabbled, and several of them have collected a lot of similar things.

"We've seen it, but how do we measure the value of these things that we trade?" The issue was raised again, and in a friendly atmosphere, the American negotiators ceased to be detained and began to show their businessman nature.

"Although this is difficult to estimate, for the sake of fairness, we will take your internal circulation as the standard, that is, how much value can be created by the technology we provide, and how many spiritual products can be exchanged for you, this should be the only equal condition that can be accepted between us, and the others lack a unit of measurement, after all, we have not yet had any substantive trading behavior, and there is a lack of measurement standards," Locke threw out the plan that he had already thought of.

Several people thought for a while, nodded to each other, and when they came, they were given the power to make temporary decisions, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to have the other party wait.

"Well, your consideration is very appropriate, and we will use the economic benefits provided by this technology to acquire these spiritual products that you need."

A seemingly fair and friendly deal came to an end, with both parties getting what they needed, but the impact was behind it

And who can see clearly?

Sent back to the ground by small landing craft, several negotiators boarded planes provided by the military.

"I didn't expect these aliens to be so friendly, it seems that we will recommend to the president in the future to further strictly prohibit the appearance of films, scripts and cultural products that insinuate aliens to invade the earth and slander each other, and destroy existing works, so as not to affect the relationship between our two sides." One negotiator said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Councillor Smith, human beings are afraid because of ignorance, and the ancients were afraid of thunder and earthquakes, because they did not understand this natural phenomenon, and the cultural works that preceded us were also born out of ignorance. In the future, as the exchange is contested, people will realize that as beings with high intelligence, the other party will not attack the earth without a purpose, just out of brutality, and although the earth is precious to us, since the other party can come to the earth, they can also reach other planets, and there is nothing unusual. Someone chimed in.

"It is this sentence that this transaction can be successfully completed, and human beings can get rid of one of the most painful aspects of birth, old age, sickness and death, the plague of disease, although death is terrible, but it is not painful, because there is nothing to feel after death, which will be a great progress for mankind." Someone else spoke.

"Yes, you may not know that even if we have this technology, it will be hundreds of years before it can be extended to all mankind." Just as the others were chatting enthusiastically about this strange experience, the head of the negotiation team thought silently in his heart. Mankind is still far from a truly beautiful society. Even if pie falls from the sky, as long as there is a second person, it will not be a beautiful thing.

"Hehe, these earthlings, can you hide their thoughts from me? Although I was not wrong just now, but it is aimed at intelligent beings who have the same characteristics as our race, with the cultural process of your earthlings, capricious, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, no matter what, you can't make you strong, even if you can't directly use force for special considerations, I will let you become a prehistoric civilization! After sending off the group of negotiators, Locke sat alone in the command cabin, thinking to himself.

"Laurent, how much has my plan increased the odds of success with the new correction parameters now?" Locke thought for a moment, then turned back to the central computer and asked.

"If no new variables are added, the probability of success of the plan is 35.5 percent, an increase of three percentage points from the original, and the time required is about 300 years." The central computer gives a string of data.

"It's still too low, using this indirect means, it is difficult to control the specific trend, especially the earthlings are so good at changing, although they are backward in science and technology, but their philosophical wisdom is not much behind us, and we have always lacked fighting due to our physiological characteristics, if it is really a contest of equal strength, obviously we can't compete with it." Locke frowned when he heard this.

"Lord Governor, are you worried about how to control the earthlings, I have an idea," just as he was thinking, the door of the command module opened, and it was the deputy captain, Locke's assistant, Lieutenant Commander Brown, who entered.

"Well, tell me what you think," Locke, as his confidant, did not care about the problem of trespassing, and in fact all the Rohrians would not pay attention to these subsections.

"The development of our civilization, due to the lack of war elements, except for the development of some weapons and tools against the natural environment, the rest are used to meet various internal needs, and there are very few technologies used for warfare, which is the reason for the governor's worries. But we can use the power of the earthlings themselves and let them study these weapons on their own, as long as we make sure that these weapons do not pose a threat to ourselves. ”

"I think, but the earthlings must be wary of the technicians we send out, and in fact the earthlings are not a stupid and belligerent race, from the fact that they have only used nuclear weapons twice in total since they invented them, it can be seen that they are also extremely strict with the supervision of powerful weapons. So even if we take control of some people and start a nuclear war, the traces are too obvious, and we can't do that until we have access to their civilization relics. But this process is too long, at least hundreds of years from now. My only fear is that the earthlings are evolving too fast and will soon have the same military technology as ours, and at that time, they will face the danger of war between the two sides, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. The so-called plan can never catch up with the change, and even they know that the reason why a plan is a plan is only to provide a reference. ”

Locke waved his hand, a helpless look, even if he was engaged in such a long-term and huge plan, the probability of failure was very high, and if he didn't get it right, he would hit his own feet.

"You don't have to worry so much, in fact, the earthlings are at a very dangerous juncture in the development of civilization at this time, the weapons they have are enough to destroy the space environment in which they live, but there are still a considerable number of them who lack the wisdom to use these weapons rationally, and the most important thing is that they are not able to migrate to outer space, for thousands of years, this danger will always exist, even if we don't do anything, through the possibility of computer calculations, their tendency to self-destruction is more than fifteen percent."

"The simplest example, if the terrorism that was once prevalent in them were the use of nuclear weapons by those who carried out suicide attacks, the earth would no longer be suitable for them. Some people who are not even afraid of death are terrifying, and they can use any weapon without reason. Although this is difficult to do, after all, nuclear technology is still tightly controlled, but it is inevitable that they will develop to the point where a certain weapon is readily available, but its power can destroy the entire planet. Even the investigation of the so-called higher civilization will not find any evidence related to us. Our own prehistoric civilization just didn't pass this threshold, and they developed far beyond our current level. ”
