Voyage of the Stars

"One hundred thousand medicines need to be exchanged for one hundred thousand scientists of your civilization." The interstellar trading market simply said what they wanted to get.

"Impossible!" the kobold commander replied directly: "You have also seen that we are not a civilized subject, but just a fleet that comes to make transactions. Our scientists are not here."

That's what they say, but in fact there are no scientists among kobolds at all.

Hearing the words of the kobold commander, the interstellar trading market became more certain that the kobold civilization that came to trade had no objection to trading their own individual lives.

Yes, kobold civilization, this is the external civilization name given by humans to these kobolds, and kobolds like it very much, because humans tell them that dogs are humans' most loyal friends.

We can clearly see the way the kobold fleet is formed, and we know that what the kobold said is true. This is a fleet specifically for trading. Generally speaking, civilizations that are aware of the sinister nature of the universe will not bring all of their own civilizations over for trading. Therefore, The person in charge of the Interstellar Trading Market still believes this statement.

So after some time, they changed their rhetoric: "Then it will cost half a million ordinary living individuals. This is the best price we can give. If you don't have it, you can choose the other two." Although the life potion is not as good as the one with a five-thousand-year effect, the two of them together are three thousand years old, and I believe it is enough for you. To be honest, the civilization that came here to trade before also chose these two."

Individual life, biosphere resources, scientists.

The purpose of the interstellar trading market seems to be very clear. After all, these are the only transactions they want to obtain, especially for commodities they consider valuable, and they are basically unwilling to allow the civilizations that come to trade to use cold nuclear fusion. Fuel as currency.

And prefer this method of bartering. Of course, the so-called bartering is not actually 'things', but living lives, biosphere resources, and wisdom with dignity and thoughtfulness. life.

From this point, it can also be seen from the side that intelligent life, biosphere resources, and living planets are the most precious resources in the universe.

Because all dead things in nature are the same. Any mineral, chemical element, or substance can be found in nature as long as it is not artificially processed. Only the different lives created by different life planets are special cases in this universe.

Exceptional things are precious.

Even though humans already know that civilization is common in the universe, life is still very scarce in the vast universe, and living planets are still an extremely scarce resource for the barren planets slowly spreading across the star sea.

This is the same as what humans speculated back then.

No, in fact, human beings' speculations back then were still too conservative, and even today's speculations on the value of a living planet are still not bold enough.

This is the level of civilization that limits human cognition. There is no way for humans to know how those advanced civilizations use the resources of the living planet.

Perhaps, only when you reach the fifth level of civilization can you truly utilize the resources of the living planet, and the secret of true immortality is hidden there. Of course, as the host civilization of the interstellar trading market, they also don’t understand because they have not reached that level.

After negotiating with other kobolds, the kobold commander sent another message: "We don't have that many people. Otherwise, we only need 50,000 life potions and use 200,000 life individuals of our civilization to carry out the treatment." How about exchange? If you don't agree, then we can only give up the deal on the life potion. After all, we are not in urgent need of this thing now.

Besides, this is not a universal life potion. After we buy it, we need to have our own scientists conduct research and analysis to improve it into a life potion that we can use. Based on this alone, I don’t think it’s worth our time. One hundred thousand ordinary living individuals,

Ah, I take back what I just said. I regret it now. The value of 50,000 life potions is not worth our 200,000 intelligent lives. Forget it, let’s just buy the news we mentioned before. "

One side of the interstellar trading market also had another argument: "No, no, no, one hundred thousand copies is a trading unit and cannot be divided. Customers may not know this and want to research a potion suitable for their own civilization. According to our Based on experience, one hundred thousand copies is already the minimum standard. If it is too few, you may not be able to develop an improved version, and the samples will be used up."

"This is after we provide you with all the scientific research materials for this life potion. If we only give you the life potion, I am afraid that 100,000 copies will not be enough for research." One side of the interstellar trading market added.

Life potion research information.

This is a necessary accessory when trading life potions. After all, it is not a universal life potion. Therefore, these research materials are necessary so that the buyer's scientists can better and faster transform them into life potions for use in their own civilization.

"Sorry, let's buy that news first!" the kobold commander insisted.

"Okay!" The interstellar trading market seems to be quite formal and does not force anyone to do anything.

After agreeing, the two sides began to discuss the pricing of this piece of information. In the end, as mentioned before, the kobold fleet had to pay for all the biosphere resources on their list.

Although he knew it would be a loss to find information about the destruction of the solar system for mankind, the kobold felt it was worth it, so the deal was quickly finalized.

After the price is negotiated, the next step is for the two parties to exchange the living conditions parameters of various types of creatures, so that the recipient can transform the spacecraft into an environment suitable for these creatures in the shortest possible time.

After doing this, it’s time for the real deal.

When the kobolds were preparing to transport the biosphere resources brought by the fleet to the spacecraft to the space location agreed upon by both parties, the interstellar trading market also fulfilled the contract and provided the kobolds with information about the abnormal star explosion that occurred in the Gould Belt that year. The human fleet narrates.

"As far as we know, there was not one abnormal star explosion in the Gould Belt that year, but four. One was a yellow dwarf star in its prime, and the other three were a triple star system."

"According to the news, it should have been done by a fifth-level civilization that came across the cantilever, and the direction should be the Yingxian Cantilever. The specific reason why they destroyed the star is unknown. But according to what we heard from a civilization that did not want to reveal the name of the civilization, That fifth-level civilization seems to have defected from the Immortal Community.

If this statement is true, then the reason why the four stars were destroyed is probably the war between them, maybe it was the defection of the fifth-level civilization, or maybe it was the fifth-level civilization of the Heroes Community.

Destroying stars is nothing to advanced civilizations. In the war between them, the act of destroying stars is just an act of disturbing the battlefield environment, either to create a favorable escape environment, or to create a situation that is beneficial to their own civilization. combat environment"

"Oh, by the way, it is said that the reason why that civilization defected from the Community of Immortals seems to be that they obtained a special technology during a certain ruins exploration, and it is also said that they obtained news about a voyager of the previous generation. Specifically, who is it? We don’t know one, but what we can confirm is that the abnormal explosions of those four stars must be related to the Perseus Community.”
