Black Technology: Start with the Space Jumper

Chapter 185 White Dwarf Market

"Do you want to obtain technology beyond the level of civilization? Do you want to fully develop the technology tree? Do you want to obtain more cosmic information? Come on, as long as you are willing to pay the corresponding technology or materials in exchange, you will be able to get any from here. want something!"

"The white dwarf market accepts everything and sells everything! With the escort of super-civilized creations, you will be guaranteed safety and fair trade."

"White Dwarf Market is looking forward to your visit! The coordinates of this market are located at..."

The Silver Star is docked at the top of the market dock, and from here one can overlook the many spaceships of various types that are busy shuttling.

From the size, shape, quality and other information of these spaceships, Lu Yu can roughly infer the level of civilization these spaceships belong to.

In the white dwarf market, most civilizations belong to star-level civilizations around the fourth-level civilization, and most of their spaceships are only the size of the moon.

And now, beside the place where the Silver Star is docked, a spaceship is twice the size of Jupiter. It has dozens of surrounding spaceships, all of which are the size of blue stars, and are covered with densely packed various fortifications. There is no doubt that there will be a powerful weapon in it, which will deter all foreign forces who dare not abide by the rules.

This is a regular security force for maintaining order in the white dwarf market, and it belongs to the sub-civilization that the Huan tribe split off from.

In addition to the steel spaceship, there are many space bases in orbit around this huge spaceship.Each of these bases has a diameter of tens of kilometers.Around these bases, there are constantly various spaceships taking off and landing back and forth, busy shuttling.Like the market below, it presents a busy and prosperous atmosphere.

The triangular spaceship has docked next to the huge spaceship, and seems to be communicating.And Lu Yu had free time to explore the white dwarf market.

Because each civilization has different requirements for the living environment, no face-to-face transactions are implemented in the market.

That is, civilized creatures do not come forward, but use robots as agents to trade.The delivery, transshipment, inspection, etc. of all goods are all done by robots.

This is also easy to understand.

Otherwise, as soon as the spaceship is released, if there is a slight error in the setting of some environmental parameters, and the customer dies suddenly, wouldn't it be the responsibility of the market?

What Lu Yu is curious about is, who will give the value of the transaction?

Once in the alliance of conscious life forms, the pricing power was held by higher civilizations, because they could use technology as an equivalent to give value an anchor.

But in this market that seems to be established by a star-level civilization, there is no such confidence.

With this curiosity, Lu Yu made No. [-] to connect to the market network, and soon an unmanned spacecraft with a length of seven or eight meters came to the side of the Silver Star.

"Next, please submit the goods you are using for exchange. The market host will evaluate your goods and convert them into the common currency in the market - the transaction point. A list of goods will be sent to you later. If you need a list You can directly inquire about any product on the website, we will inform you of the price of the information, and it is up to you to decide whether to buy it.”

Well, you have the pricing power yourself?

That's a lucrative business!

After all, the rocks that can be seen everywhere on a certain planet are scarce minerals for other civilizations.

The market can get these stones at a low price and sell them to other civilizations at a high price.

The price is in the hands of the civilization that organizes the market, and the middleman can pocket the profit.

Other civilizations are not stupid. The trading behavior in the universe must also follow the maximization of profits. If a civilization wants to take away all the advantages, it must be impossible to expand the market operation.

[The data interface is connected successfully, and the database login is successful]

[Product list obtained successfully, data transmission in progress]

No. [-] has downloaded a large amount of information about commodities from the market's public database, and she doesn't have to worry about the market adding any viruses to the massive database.

Since getting number seven, Lu Yu no longer has to worry about electronic warfare.

Otherwise, as an important part of space warfare, a large part of the battle crushing of high-level civilizations against low-level civilizations is reflected in electronic warfare.

There are very few angle impacts like Lu Yu's that rely on armor to achieve impact.

The reason why the Zerg were frightened before was because they mistakenly thought that the Silver Star possessed technology they could not understand at all, and even used such a primitive and direct method to deal with them, as if they really treated them as bugs treat.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to control the spacecraft by using electronic warfare properly?

In the end, there is still a lack of understanding.

"Are there any traps in the database?"

Although it came with the triangular spaceship, it is common sense that this sub-civilization would not dare to have any ill intentions towards the Silver Star, but Lu Yu still asked the direction.

"The database is accessed independently, and the market has a special key for each civilization, and the information in it."

No. [-]'s professional explanation made Lu Yu nod his head, no longer entangled with these things, and instead looked at the product list in front of him.

The first thing I see is a list of specific technologies. On this list, there are many technologies recorded, some of which Lu Yu has already mastered, such as [Antimatter Theory] [Grand Unified Theory], etc., but there are more Technology, even Lu Yu did not master it.

These technologies are very messy, covering all aspects, and some of them are completely inexplicable, super-engineering and technologies that humans have guessed before, such as "supernova superheavy element collection and calculation", or "super-light speed communication technology" and the like.

In addition to this single technology, there are also some that sell complete technology trees.

For example [Mechanical Civilization Evolution Guide] [Full Analysis of Star-level Civilization Technology], which contains a large number of data packages of star-level technology.

Their capacity can no longer be measured by Blue Star's data standards, even if they are connected to the most advanced super quantum computer of human beings, its database may be filled in an instant.

Lu Yu is very interested in these technologies, but their prices are impressive.

【1000 million trading points】

【700 million trading points】

[……..]

These technologies are too expensive.

This is also inevitable. Understanding the entire technology tree means that civilization has been promoted to a star-level civilization. How many filters have passed through?

Human beings rely on the landing feather to look at the universe, and up to now, they have only established fulcrums sporadically in the field of star-level technology. I don’t know how long it will take to establish a cornerstone, let alone when we can generalize and establish a complete one. Stellar tech tree.

In this commodity category, not only technology, but also a large number of technological creations.

Warp spaceships, antimatter bombs, etc. are still regular commodities.

Space bubbles, creations of advanced civilizations such as space gates are also on the trading list, but such goods can no longer be traded with trading points, and are often designated for certain aspects of technology to carry out barter transactions.

Thinking that he didn't seem to be able to produce anything that could be exchanged for the trading point, he could only temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart, and Lu Yu began to browse resource commodities.

Resource commodities are much cheaper.

Rare earths are known as "industrial vitamins" and are indispensable additives in metal smelting. Due to their unique magnetic, luminous and catalytic properties, rare earth elements are extremely important in related technical fields, from mobile phones, TVs to LED bulbs, wind turbines It has been widely used in various catalytic reactions.

Especially in Blue Star, where high-strength new materials are emerging, the value of rare earths has skyrocketed several times.

But in the white dwarf market, the price of a hundred tons of rare earth is only worth a little bit.

The price of high-purity uranium ore is only a little higher than that of rare earths.

All the substances that can be obtained directly from the universe have low prices in the market.

Lu Yu doesn't have much demand for resource commodities.

The living area is indeed a substance, and it can be mined at will by jumping the Silver Star into the star system.

Taking a casual glance at resource commodities, Lu Yu moved to another commodity category.

The commodities provided by the white dwarf market are divided into four categories. In addition to technology and resources, there are also intelligence and biology.

Information products are not so clearly priced. The market has developed a platform similar to a forum, and all information that wants to be exchanged can be traded by the civilizations that come and go.

But most of it is also information about technology.

[Grand unified theory wants to extend to antimatter-related technologies, how many steps do we need to take? 】

[Several key issues about the generation and storage of antimatter]

Watching these discussions is more like browsing a scientific forum.

Each question has an answer reward. If the civilization with the answer feels that the price is right, it will naturally answer the question.

However, there are two problems that quickly hit the top, and the return price is ridiculously high.

[Looking for the phenomenon of evaporation of large-scale civilized subjects]

[Looking for clues that the wreckage of a higher civilization is disguised as a trap]

Don't even think about it, the [-]% achievement is the reward issue issued by the delta spaceship.

Can the mainstream customers in this white dwarf market really provide such clues?

After all, if one encounters a tragedy like that of the Huan Clan, it means that the strength of civilization has plummeted, and the spaceship left by the star-level civilization will hide somewhere and recover quickly.

Civilizations that have been able to escape from the star system are no longer so easy to be wiped out.

Even if the Huan Clan only had a triangular spaceship left, they could quickly restore their civilization strength by themselves.

Perhaps it was with this in mind that the civilization that set up the wreckage trap came up with the method of blocking technology.

But then again...

How boring is it to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself?

Lu Yu casually scanned the categories of information products, then swiped over, focusing on the last category.

Biological commodities are all kinds of creatures, including ordinary creatures and even intelligent civilization creatures.

It mainly sells genes and thinking modules.

Originally, Lu Yu thought that there would be an individual like a "scientist", but after thinking about it, a scientist can contribute the civilization technology he has mastered once he sells it according to the knowledge and logic of thinking he has acquired.

Although it will not reach the level of the technology tree, it will also expose the thinking logic, culture and limitations of the entire civilization.

The result of the evolution is very likely to be that in a famous science fiction novel, the human brain is sent to the invading civilization's intelligent extinction operation, so that the invading civilization experienced a liberation, and then triggered a technological explosion.

And if they all do this, will the technology products in the market still be sold?

But the biological gene alone opened Lu Yu's horizons, especially when coupled with the free information retrieved from the No. [-] database.

A star-level civilization that has begun to decline, after having no hope of promotion, begins a period of behavior that can be called the art of civilization.

They call themselves seeding civilizations, and after embedding their own race genes into the genes of a life planet, the adjusted race can adapt to the environment of this life planet.

But the seeding civilization did not leave any technology to the transformed race at all, allowing them to survive on the original planet of life.

These modified races are actually not much different from the members of the seeding civilization, they just become bigger or smaller and have more organs to adapt to the environment.

However, the seeding civilization did not leave any technology to them, allowing these so-called modified people of the same race to develop freely.

a planet.

two planets.

....
Even when the civilization declined and the spacecraft could not be repaired, the seeding civilization spread the modified race containing its own genes all over the living planet with a radius of [-] light years.

When Seeding Civilization sold the genes they collected in the white dwarf market in exchange for the cost of repairing the spacecraft, they also released their stories for free in the information commodity column.

"We have failed, and civilization has embarked on a technological path that we cannot break through."

"But, we leave the tinder."

"They may be submerged in the universe like us, but at least they still have hope compared to us who are about to perish."

This is similar to the special method of civilization cultivation, perhaps the only trace of the big universe left by this seeding civilization.

This civilization has embarked on a different path from conventional civilization, with genetic engineering as the main technology, and the way of development is very similar to the Zerg in science fiction.

There are countless development paths of science and technology, each of which has infinite possibilities.No one can deny that the path of genetic technology is a mistake, and perhaps in a certain corner of the universe, there are races that have been promoted to advanced civilizations.

In human cognition, the development of civilization has certain laws, such as the development of computers, following the process from electronic computing to quantum computers.In this process, every time a level is raised, the computing power of the computer will be greatly improved.

Civilization has gained a lot of benefits from such progress, so it is believed that this is the only way for the development of civilization.

But maybe the brains of the genetically modified races can reach the level of super quantum computers, wouldn't they also have an irreplaceable role in promoting civilization?
As long as civilization can continue to develop, perhaps the path of technology chosen will become less important.

Lu Yu silently put down the list of genetic products and looked at the blue flowers falling in the living area.

In fact, these blue-flowered trees that have adorned the living quarters for many years are themselves recreated by genetic engineering.

Gene technology has too many constraints when it comes to members of civilization itself, but there are no such obstacles in other creatures or plants.

If the method of sowing civilization to continue civilization for oneself is really successful, then those newly rising civilizations are considered new sowing civilizations, or are they just like these blue flower trees, after all, just technology and hard work?
Lu Yu couldn't tell the difference, and neither could other civilizations.

Only those reformed races who were pinned on hope came here, and after seeing this story, it is up to them to comment on the sower civilization that made all this.
