Deep Space Fleet

In a blink of an eye, three months passed like this. Zhang Yuan led the six young men and women in the laboratory, took a small transport plane, and went to the interstellar trading market for the second time, accompanied by some interstellar soldiers and human diplomats in rotation.

Their main trading opponent this time is the Toss civilization, a civilization that is good at magnetic field perception. Human beings are very interested in this strange race, not only including its physical structure, but also the history and culture of this civilization.

Of course, the history and culture of other people's homes are not so easy to obtain, and even human beings cannot promote their own culture and ideas for no reason. This is a very taboo behavior that affects their own safety.

Talking about this, Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "So, even if you are curious, don't talk nonsense. Our main purpose is to buy some magnetic field sensing organs of the Toth civilization, that is, biological organs. If we can buy more papers, It’s also good. If there is no ready-made biological organ, it is too difficult for us to fabricate one out of thin air.”

"But, will they sell it? I don't think they will. Even if you buy it with amoeba points, the other party may not be willing." A boy wearing glasses said.

The cells in an organ must contain all the genetic material of the Toth civilization. If humans obtain these genetic materials, they can easily clone a Tothian!

This is again one of the great taboos in interstellar etiquette.

Think about it, if other civilizations cloned human beings, and then used this cloned human being for biological experiments and dissected him. Even if this clone does not belong to the wishes of human beings, there will still be great disturbances within human civilization, and then there will be huge conflicts between the two sides, and it is not impossible to even break out of war!

Or, a malicious civilization has created a specific biological virus targeting human genes.

Therefore, within human civilization, it is strictly forbidden to sell any cells related to oneself, not even a single hair.

The same is true in theory of Toth civilization.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "So, the mutual trust between civilizations is very difficult, even a single cell is unwilling to be exposed... But it does not rule out that civilizations that don't care about this kind of ethics, anyway, let's figure it out."

"If it really doesn't work, we can only settle for the next best thing..."

Soon, arriving at the inner ring trading area, the human spaceship connected to the communication signal of the Thoth people.

Since several transactions were made, the relationship between the two parties was not bad.

"Dear human civilization, do you have any novel ideas?" This strange-looking alien life said on the screen. This is the first time they appear on the screen.

He looks like a large salamander, with limbs that are slenderer than the salamander. He has a total of six fingers, which are very flexible. The only difference from the salamander is that there are no eyes on his head, but two protruding tentacles instead.

That is to say, the individuals of this civilization cannot feel any light. This may be because in ancient times, they lived in dark caves and had no access to light.

Because of this, the technology tree of the Toth civilization is very different from the general interstellar civilization. Their technological products do not need screens that emit light, but devices that emit special magnetic fields.

The changes in the magnetic field constitute the words and pictures of this civilization.

The most common tool they use is a strong magnet. When a strong magnet comes into contact with other ferromagnetic substances, some materials will be magnetized and become magnetic. In this way, through magnetic field induction, they can be easily identified and form pictures and texts.

Of course, the brains of the Tuos people can perceive the magnetic field, but they can't feel the higher frequency electromagnetic waves, let alone emit electromagnetic waves, so they still talk, the frequency of the sound is very high, all of them are ultrasonic waves, this ultrasonic wave is A perceptual complementarity.

High frequency sounds are completely inaudible to the human ear.

So, they perceive the outside world through magnetic fields, ultrasonic waves, touch, smell, and taste, which to a certain extent makes up for the lack of eyes. But only to a certain extent.

After the Thoth people learned about electromagnetic waves, they also longed for light.

These are basic civilization data.

After Zhang Yuan explained his reason for coming, the guy on the screen twisted his body, and a line of text was displayed on the human screen: "Sorry, respected human being, according to internal safety regulations, we cannot sell our own organs. Even if you pay a lot of amoeba points, it still won’t work.”

"Actually, most interstellar civilizations with the same morality are unlikely to do so."

"It's okay, it's okay, we can understand!" Zhang Yuan said quickly: "We just want to obtain scientific and technological information in this area, but if we don't have a ready-made organ, we really have no way to design it out of thin air..."

He quickly proposed another plan: "If your civilization is willing, we can apply for an open biological laboratory in the interstellar trading market, and exchange each other's sensory cells. The entire experiment is open to each other, and genetic sequences are not allowed to be measured, etc. After the experiment, all specimens are destroyed, and no one is allowed to leave the site except the data."

"We are willing to provide eyeballs of 167 different species, including human eyeballs, and share knowledge about bionic eyes. What do you think of this condition?"

Zhang Yuan added another sentence: "Of course, the credits for the biology laboratory will be paid by us."

It's just a laboratory, at most 0.1 amoeba points can be done.

After listening to Zhang Yuan's trading plan, the Tosi man on the opposite side of the screen thought for a long time, but didn't say a word.

As a rare species that can sense magnetic fields, there are actually quite a few exchanges with other interstellar civilizations...

Similar experiments like those proposed by Zhang Yuan have also been done, even more than a hundred times!

However, more than 20,000 years have passed.

They still haven't seen the real light. Other interstellar civilizations left with the magnetic field perception data of the Thoth people, but the Thoth people have no eyes, so many experiments can’t be done well, especially biological experiments—it’s impossible to put a little bit of magnetic field on all organic matter .

It is very difficult to obtain data in this area by relying on ultrasonic waves and magnetic fields alone.

It's too difficult, really too difficult, you can't feel the light, just relying on the magnetic field, there are too many flaws!

However, the Toss civilization is a civilization with strong self-esteem, and has many scientists with tenacious personalities. From a difficult environment, it has developed to the present, and it is impossible to do it without some excellent qualities.

After a long time, a contact was sent from the communicator, and the scientists were willing to engage in such an experiment because they had another chance...

Free Chance!

The Tuosian diplomat sighed, even though he knew that this kind of experiment would probably yield nothing, and the other party would take advantage of it for nothing. However, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, you have to fight for it.

After the transaction was confirmed, the team led by Zhang Yuan couldn't help but cheered. They spent 0.1 amoeba points to have the opportunity to obtain relevant information, which is too happy for human beings.
