Buying and selling cannot be done with kindness and righteousness

  One month later, with the completion of the first phase of the transaction, the two parties began further negotiations and cooperation.

  As one of the representatives of science, Zhang Yuan also enthusiastically landed on the other party's planet to conduct a series of scientific investigations.

  During this month, people have fully enjoyed the benefits of a higher level of civilization. Hemispheric civilizations are very polite, they keep their posture low, and all kinds of etiquette services are also very thoughtful. Even in the previous small transactions, he deliberately allowed the new human side to take a small advantage, fully expressing his goodwill.

  The new humans are also polite here. People are even polite when dealing with low-level natives, and there is no need to deliberately bully a serious third-level civilization.

  When doing business, we should pay attention to win-win cooperation, freedom and equality, and benevolence and righteousness are still the same when buying and selling. The Milky Way is so big, what reason do the two sides have to become enemies? Having more friends may come in handy when you are down and out.

  During the negotiations, human diplomats also very vaguely proposed that they wanted to purchase the bionic technology of the hemispheric civilization and part of its population. This civilization is not angry, nor does it reject it outright. Instead, it has a somewhat ambiguous attitude.

  "Actually, it's not surprising if you think about it carefully... or the way we talk is not right."

  Foreign Minister Yang Fan immediately received Zhang Yuan, an old friend, who was introducing the entire negotiation process: "If the positions were reversed, we would be a level three civilization and the other party would be a level four civilization. After the other party made such a request, We will not reject it directly... instead we will feel a little uneasy and will only try to find a way to get the other party to give up the idea in a peaceful way."

  "This is the benefit of being powerful...Of course we will not force them to traffic in humans. We just want everyone to trade equally."

  Zhang Yuan nodded, "Yes, it's okay to take advantage of the identity of the fourth-level civilization and have a slightly higher profile. But we must be careful and don't let the talks collapse. Our civilization has no intention of robbing each other... By the way, they What do you want mainly?"

  Yang Fan showed a meaningful expression, "...As we expected, they should be asking us to invite us here."

  Zhang Yuan understood immediately and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Warp Speed ​​Technology, and their appetite is quite big! Can they come up with enough chips?"

  Warp speed technology is a technology that every third-level civilization desires, and humans will definitely not sell it cheaply.

  This thing is worth 100,000 points in the amoeba market, and even a simple "clue" is worth 10,000 points.

  The bionics technology of the hemispheric civilization must not be worth so much money. According to Zhang Yuan's estimate, it is only six to seven thousand amoeba points at most.

  Of course, since the trading market of the Milky Way Amoeba Faction has been disbanded, the former "Warp Curvature Non-Proliferation Convention" has become a piece of waste paper. If the hemispheric civilization can give them enough chips, they can also give them some information about warp technology, sell them a few warp spacecraft, or even sell warp technology directly to them. These are not impossible.

  As long as the other party gives enough chips, humans will plan to sell. There is no need to take something and then refuse to pay. Technology, if you sell it to other civilizations, you won't lose it, as long as it's not sold to the enemy.

  Moreover, even if the new humans do not sell it, if the hemispheric civilization encounters other level 4 civilizations, they may be able to purchase curvature technology from these level 4 civilizations. But the new human civilization has no way to obtain the benefits.

  Of course, curvature technology is a golden chicken, a golden chicken that can keep laying golden eggs. If the whole universe has this kind of golden chicken, then the eggs will be worthless.

  Yang Fan said: "The best way is to sell curvature spacecraft. In the past trading market, there were also examples of fourth-level civilizations selling curvature spacecraft to third-level civilizations."

  Because it is extremely difficult to imitate a warp speed spacecraft. Without a specific theory, it is almost impossible to imitate an industrial product exactly.

  Disassemble the warp engine, reassemble it, and obtain a series of data through reverse engineering?

  Beautiful thought!

  The curvature engine is cutting-edge technology and the product of high-energy theory. It is very complex. It will cause errors after disassembly and reassembly, and requires a lot of detailed adjustments. If there is no theoretical guidance or drawings, and these errors are allowed to exist, the curvature bubble produced will explode directly and destroy the entire spacecraft!

  This kind of error is very common in reverse engineering. Xia State once imported a batch of Maozi's fighter jets. After dismantling and reassembling these fighter jets, they found that they were inexplicably enlarged and could never be restored to their original state. . The larger circle is caused by errors. A few millimeters here and a few milliseconds there add up to a huge number.

  How can a fighter jet tolerate an error of a few centimeters?

  For another example, in some imported cutting-edge machine tools, there is a circular hole in the middle of a certain component. Reverse engineering engineers are puzzled. What is the use of this circular hole? Just because the research was unclear, they did not dare to modify it randomly, so they could only copy it exactly.

  These are a lot of difficulties in reverse engineering. In many cases, forward engineering is even simpler than reverse engineering.

  On the other hand, turning on the curvature engine requires a series of control software. The curvature in the universe is not flat, and the curvature near massive stars will continue to change, placing high demands on control software.

  Software can be encrypted using highly complex mathematical algorithms, and it will be many times more difficult to crack. Even if you crack the relevant software, you still don't know the real theory, so you can only copy these formulas exactly as they are, and there is no way to improve them.

  Therefore, it is very difficult to crack the mystery of the curvature engine through reverse engineering. Unless humans sell them tens of thousands of spaceships and reverse engineer them tens of thousands of times, it will be possible to deduce the entire theory.

  After listening to these materials, Zhang Yuan solemnly said: "Then you guys have a good talk. There is no need to exploit them too much. Don't take off all their pants, just peel off... half of their skin... On the surface, you should be polite. , the other party has already treated each other with courtesy, so we should also treat each other with courtesy."

  Lao Yang laughed loudly, "Your request is too difficult. They don't have skin, they only have one head! It's really impossible to do it by peeling off half of the skin!"
