"What do you think?" Chen Mu whispered, if he had to bite the bullet and spend money to verify the authenticity of the news, it would not be so much trouble... The premise is that the other party is really willing to cooperate.

"No!" Zhang Yuan shook his head and immediately objected.

"Having two thousand amoeba points on hand is different from having only one thousand on hand. The strategic level is different. You must know that we need to spend a lot of money to rent the planetary fortress!"

"If the other party still doesn't choose to cooperate, we will be miserable!"

Chen Mu was speechless for a moment, and put out this thought.

Yes, 1000 amoeba points, how much technology can you buy? How much time is saved?

After thinking about it for a while, all human beings, including the Toss, were caught in a dilemma, and there was no way to compromise or retreat.

The most difficult thing in the world is to trust each other... Even if the two parties have cooperated before, that kind of cooperation is simply a world of difference compared to the current cooperation!

There are even some contradictory voices within the Toss civilization. Since human beings are so swearing, there is still some possibility that this news is "true".

That is the curvature technology that the third-level civilization dreams of, who wouldn't want it?

Although the Toth civilization has a deformed technology tree and has many flaws, it also wants to obtain this technology.

However, even if they are very eager, they still can't do it. It is impossible for them to pay 2000 amoeba points first.

Think about it with excretory organs, and know that this is impossible.

What if humans are liars?

In the midst of such mutual distrust, human beings came up with a solution: the two civilizations paid 500 amoeba points respectively to identify the truth of the news, and the mutual trust problem could be solved.

However, 500 amoeba points is not a small amount of property, and there is a lot of opposition among human beings.

Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips. At the beginning, their laboratory only obtained 3.4 amoeba points. The entire new human civilization spent more than 200 amoeba points to prolong life by 200 years. Now spending five hundred at once is no different from cutting flesh alive!

It is impossible for the Toss civilization to agree for a while.

For the Toss civilization, spending 500 amoeba points to judge the truth or falsehood of human beings' news is too ridiculous! In case it is fake, wouldn't it cost 500 in vain?

For them, 5 amoeba points are the upper limit they can afford!

Yes, 5!

Not a dime more!

This still depends on the good reputation of previous cooperation, that is, the other party believes that the goodwill of the new human civilization is only worth five amoeba points, which is the biggest concession they can make.

It was so noisy, half a day passed, nothing was discussed.

Zhang Yuan frowned, meditating, and didn't speak for a long time, then suddenly he seemed to think of something: "I seem to have thought of a feasible solution... First of all, we need to know how much the other party's property is. "

"All the belongings?"

This question isn't particularly outlandish.

One of the negotiating experts replied: "It's hard to count, and we don't have any internal spies mixed in, so how could we know all the other party's belongings."

"However, judging from the external performance and the prosperity of trade, this Toss civilization is still relatively rich, theoretically richer than us. After all, they can sense magnetic fields, which can be regarded as a rare species in the interstellar civilization. It's rather strange, all these years, I have been selling my own productivity...Have I been here for tens of thousands of years?"

"So, a conservative estimate, 6,000 points, a little more, 9,000...should not be more. If it exceeds this number, they can completely ask Huatai Civilization to help them tailor a pair of eyes. There is no need to struggle like now down."

The Toth civilization really hopes to increase the ability of optical perception in its own perception, even if it is black and white images, or infrared rays.

This is a well-known point.

It is not difficult to study a pair of bionic eyes, and the Tos civilization has long been able to do it. But the eyes are just "hardware", and the most difficult thing is to form real perception in the brain, which is "software".

"Software" is more difficult than "hardware" itself.

There is no such concept innately, and it is difficult to make up for it in the future. If there is no such content in the head, it is too difficult to break through with civilization itself.

Zhang Yuanshen has a deep understanding of this. After he joined the Ultra-Dimensional Perception Laboratory, the original stuck content soon had a major breakthrough. The content of the description.

Zhang Yuandao: "That is to say, if there are no accidents, let's take a median. The amoeba points owned by the other party are around seven or eight thousand, isn't that right?"

"That's right."

"...So, we can let the other party sign a non-disclosure agreement first, and freeze most of the other party's points, so we don't have to worry about leaking the secret."

"Then, you can fully inform the other party of the news."

"Why?" Mr. Chen Mu frowned, not understanding what Zhang Yuan wanted to express: "In this way, what if the other party doesn't pay the money afterwards? Has he regretted it? Isn't it just a big news for nothing?"

"Mr. Chen, what is the most important thing between civilization and civilization?"

"It's interests."

Zhang Yuan explained: "However, a truly far-sighted civilization will not only consider current interests, but also consider longer-term interests."

"As long as we freeze the other party's amoeba points, under normal circumstances, the other party will not leak any more secrets. Unless the other party wants to lose 5,000 amoeba points for nothing... Oh, yes, we have to add additional terms to Prevent the Toss civilization from deliberately revealing secrets, breaking the cans, selling the news to various civilizations, and earning back the 5,000 amoeba points..."

"In short, stop the possibility of them leaking information."

Minister Chen nodded slightly, this clause must be the best.

Zhang Yuan continued: "Immediately, after the other party got the news and judged its feasibility, what do they desire most?"

"As long as it's not that kind of perverted civilization, they must want to obtain curvature technology!"

"So, they will face the same problem as us. They will find that the nearest neutron star-neutron star system is more than a thousand light-years away. This distance is too far, and it will cost four thousand amoeba points to rent a battle star , to be able to fly over.”

"Unless they are willing to abandon their mothership and only rent a few transport spaceships, it is absolutely impossible to abandon their mothership in a dangerous environment near the neutron star. It is necessary to rent a planetary fortress."

"At this moment, the Tos civilization will fall into the same predicament as us. They found that after freezing 5,000 amoeba points, they can no longer afford to pay an additional 4,000 amoeba points on their own. "

"When they find out that they don't have enough funds to complete this plan, how will they choose?"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand vigorously and came to a conclusion: "He will make the same choice as us."

"The best way is to cooperate with us! As long as they have enough sense, they should choose this way!"

There was a sudden silence in the meeting room, followed by buzzing discussions.

Yes, the probability of this happening is high!

"Mr. Zhang Yuan...you are right, but there are some things that are wrong."

A young diplomat raised his hand and said: "This also leads to another problem... Since the other party knows that we humans also want to go to that place, they are probably not willing to bear the extra cost. Even if the two parties cooperate, the four thousand The transportation costs are likely to be shared equally between the two parties, two thousand points for each civilization."

"...If you want the other party to bear more transportation expenses, the other party may not be willing. After all, we humans must go to that place, so why should the other party make concessions?"

"Although we paid 2,000 cents, we violated our original intention. It is equivalent to giving the other party an important news for free. Even if we find a partner, we are still at a loss!"

"No, no, you are wrong about this!"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The other party is not allowed to choose a partner. Except for us humans, the Toss civilization cannot choose another partner... If you want to choose another partner, it is equivalent to leaking secrets. Bear the loss of five thousand amoeba points."

"They can't afford this loss!"

"But we don't have such a confidentiality clause. We can choose another partner... Such inequality brings the possibility of signing an unequal treaty."

There was a sly gleam in his eyes: "If this Toss civilization wants to steal this news and don't give us any benefits, then just give it to them."

"We can choose another partner!"

"If we leave the trading market, the Tos civilization will be locked in the trading market until the confidentiality period stipulated in the contract expires. At that time, they will either find another partner, and then jointly spend 4000 points to rent a Battle Star, but can you really find a partner? I doubt it, it’s hard to find a partner for such a big event.”

"Or, spend 4,000 amoeba points alone to rent a battle star, but in this way, it will be delayed for thousands of years for no reason, and more amoeba points will be paid. At that time, the trading market will be disbanded, who Do you know what the situation is?"

"So, after a rational judgment, it is the best strategy for the other party to cooperate with us immediately and immediately."

"Do you think this method is possible?"

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Yuan's plan was very ingenious. From the perspective of game theory, there was no problem.

"But..." A diplomat questioned again: "What if after hearing the news, the Toss civilization does not have this desire to cooperate? Not every civilization is like us, willing to spend a lot of time and knowledge to do it. this matter."

"Although the information we provided is very complete, a large part of it is still speculation..."

"The certainty of this matter is not very high, there is absolutely no 100%, or even 50% is still a question."

Zhang Yuan lowered his head and said softly: "If they hear the news of curvature technology, they will pretend that they have not heard of it and are unwilling to do it, then there is nothing they can do. It can only mean that this is a civilization of perishers. Don't fight with them. Cooperation is our luck, let’s choose another partner.”

Hearing this, Mr. Chen Mu sighed slightly, and looked at the documents on the table.

From these years of contact, the rationality of this Toss civilization is quite high, and it still has a bit of lofty ideals.

It is really hard to say exactly how it will be, but it is not impossible to be completely indifferent after hearing the news and simply smash the can.

On the other hand, if the other party really discloses the secret, humans will get 5,000 amoeba points for no reason. Anyway, if you have money in the trading market, you are a master, and there will be more room for manipulation at that time.

Zhang Yuan's plan should already be quite good.

After demonstrating its feasibility, people solemnly predicted and calculated the family property of the Toss civilization, how many points need to be frozen by the other party, and the biggest concessions that can be made in the negotiation, etc.

After discussing these, "mortgaging 5,000 points for three thousand years" has become the first important condition for the cooperation between the two parties. If this news is leaked because of the Toss civilization, then the 5,000 points will be transferred to the account of the new human civilization.

If nothing happened after three thousand years, the five thousand points would be returned to the Toss civilization as it was, and the other party would have no loss.

Faced with this condition, these large salamanders hesitated a little. Three thousand years is not too long for an interstellar civilization, but it is not short either.

After all, the lifespan of the Tuos people is only one or two thousand years old.

What's more, 5,000 amoeba points are already more than half of their entire civilization's wealth.

Chen Mu said very seriously: "This is the bottom line of our human beings! Friends of the Toss civilization, you should know the value of the news about curvature technology. If you buy this kind of news from the Huatai Civilization Trading Market, you need to spend Ten thousand points!"

"Now, you only need to pledge 5,000 points and promise not to disclose the news, and you can get it! We don't charge any additional fees."

"What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you want to get it for free? If your civilization refuses to do even this, then the negotiation cannot continue. We will find another civilization to discuss cooperation matter!"
