Deep Space Fleet

After the presentation of the academic achievements, the next meeting will be some major decisions about the direction of the entire civilization.

These include the allocation of material resources and industrial capabilities. The current material resources in the fleet are not considered rich, in short, they cannot be wasted.

Humans will not choose to leave before the value of the trading market is squeezed dry. After all, it took such a long time to travel, so it is normal to stay longer.

Obviously, during this period of time, the progress of human beings is very fast, and there is no need to leave in a hurry.

And the corresponding neutron star has not yet been found. Although people are very anxious about this matter, there is nothing they can do if they can't find it.

The directors of some research institutes are fighting for the interests of their own research institutes with red necks. Almost all experiments have to be based on materials.

In the large conference room, the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market.

The "ultra-dimensional perception laboratory" where Zhang Yuan is located has nothing to fight for. As long as a few supercomputers, or resurrect a few intelligent natives from the freezer for experiments, there is nothing left to desire.

This kind of experiment is extremely inhumane, and the approval procedures are quite troublesome. Human beings are a kind of moral and compassionate creatures. In order to reduce the occurrence of psychological problems, the number of experiments is relatively small. After finishing the experiment, in order to obtain psychological comfort, the quantum consciousness of the indigenous life has to be transmitted back...

In short, Zhang Yuan just stared blankly, listening to the speeches of many colleagues around him, watching them scramble for resources.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help recalling when he was the captain, whenever the interests of the laboratory were involved, a group of laboratory leaders would fight like this. The productivity of the fleet is indeed sufficient for people's livelihood, or even greatly exceeded, but for scientific research, no matter how high the productivity is, it is not enough.

The cost of many scientific research materials is very expensive. Sometimes, the price of a scientific research instrument the size of a fingernail is higher than that of an electric car. In the face of this cost, no matter how much productivity is enough.

These scientific researchers are all lunatics. If they are really given infinite productivity, they might really build a ring-galactic accelerator!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help smiling...

After so many years, people are no longer the same group as before, but their mental outlook is still the same as it was a thousand years ago. This is a good thing!

After all the productivity has been divided up, it's time for the next important link: the consumption of amoeba points!

Amoeba points are the hard currency in the interstellar trading market. Many interstellar civilizations earn points by working in the trading market, such as participating in certain engineering constructions, calculating certain complicated data, and so on.

How many points can I earn in a year? People have estimated that if they try their best and work part-time for a year, they can only earn a few tenths of amoeba points, not more than 0.3!

This also shows that this thing is quite difficult to earn. The amoeba points that humans currently obtain are all earned from foreign transactions.

Since it is the first time for human civilization to appear in this market, each civilization has its unique ideas. Other civilizations don’t mind paying a small amount of points to buy some new technology for the newly emerging interstellar civilization. The opponent's thinking.

So in this case, human diplomats can earn a little points by relying on their own background of thousands of years of research.

Next, the background has been almost consumed, and the rest are core technologies that cannot be sold.

After other civilizations have figured out the way of thinking of human beings, at most they will only communicate on an equal footing, and they will not be as generous as before.

Mr. Chen Mu from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was speaking on the stage: "...So, everyone here, you must be clear about the consumption of these amoeba points, you must be cautious, and it will not be so easy to earn back when you spend them."

"...I also have some good news to tell everyone. We have sold the New Civilization Historiography to several fourth-level civilizations. Adding the previous ones, we have a total of 2455.4 amoeba points on hand."

"The discipline of New Civilization History, due to its innovativeness, has sold more than 2,000 amoeba points in total, and at the cost of this discipline, we have exchanged for the star road map of the fourth-level civilization and the star map of the planet-level fortress. Develop engineering knowledge.”

"It may be difficult for us to obtain such a huge number of points in the future. Only by selling that high-dimensional fragment can we get some points."

This number is indeed quite gratifying, which shows that the diplomats have sold the "History of New Civilization" at a very good price.

In particular, the star road map exchanged from the fourth-level civilization, as well as the development knowledge of planetary fortresses, are all good things that have a price but no market, anyway, they will definitely be useful in the future. Level 4 civilizations have traveled far more galaxies than humans.

"The purchasing power of amoeba points is quite high. The information about the neutron star only needs about 60 points, but we still can't fully trust the Huantai civilization trading market. About the information about the enlightener civilization 150,000 years ago, as long as we don't Up to twenty amoeba points."

However, people are reluctant to buy these contents for a while.

To replenish material resources, it only takes less than 0.12 points, and various precious metals and rare earths are quite cheap.

"But compared to our huge needs, no matter how large the number is, it will not be enough."

Human beings are only a third-level civilization, and in the entire trading market, their strength can only be regarded as medium.

A branch technology of a third-level civilization only needs 60 amoeba points.

A branch technology of level 4 civilization, the cheapest one is only 400!

Of course, this does not include curvature technology. Once it is involved, the price will soar. It may cost 80,000 or even 100,000 to completely win the entire curvature technology!

This is far from a value that humans can bear.

When it came to the issue of how to consume, everyone was silent for a while... Even for some subjects that have been stuck for a long time, the relevant experts all blushed and did not speak.

This part of points is the public property of all human beings. It is easy to spend it, but it is difficult to earn it back. Unlike industrial productivity, it will be available every year.

Moreover, there are some scientific researchers whose self-esteem is hidden. They don't want to take shortcuts so simply. Even though they are eager for these technologies in their hearts, they are caught in contradictions for a while.

Do you really want to buy directly?

Humans really can't develop by themselves?

Will there be any hidden dangers in taking shortcuts?

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "I have a suggestion: Considering the interests of the entire civilization, I still feel that it is necessary to purchase some technologies for human life extension."

"The average lifespan of our human beings has been stagnant at 300 years old for a long time, and there is no way to break through. Perhaps it is because we have collected too few biological specimens, or there may be other reasons that we have not thought of, such as thinking patterns, which have been ruled out by various previous methods. This method is skewed."

"The average lifespan of our human beings is simply at the bottom of the interstellar trading market. The average lifespan of 300 years is too little, and it is not the number that a third-level interstellar civilization should have."

Some scientists who said this blushed, but didn't know how to refute it. After all, this is also the real truth.

Lifespan is a comprehensive thing. Although the current bionics technology is getting more and more developed, the crucial brain still cannot be replaced. If it dies, it will die.

Scientific research has always had a lot of chance. Maybe a scientist has a flash of inspiration, and then this subject can advance by leaps and bounds. In addition, if human beings are lucky enough to encounter a living planet, a group of species with brain structures similar to human beings and long-lived species live on it. Undoubtedly, this discovery can greatly promote human life extension technology.

But now, people have traveled for so long but have not encountered it, so there is no way to do it. Maybe they may not be able to encounter it after wandering in the Milky Way for millions of years.

This kind of thing requires luck, or maybe there is no such civilization in the galaxy.
