Curvature of the Non-Proliferation Treaty

After a while, Catalampus-3 sent some more information: "This is the price table for these years. Since the trading market is about to be dissolved, prices are constantly changing, and most of the materials have become cheaper. , resources on the military side are becoming expensive."

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, are all kinds of military resources becoming more expensive?

"...these are the general technology lists, including some conventional technologies required by level 4 civilization. You can buy them directly from the trading market, the price is slightly higher, but the quality is guaranteed; you can also buy from other civilizations, let the interstellar trading market act as an intermediary Platform, our civilization only charges some handling fees..."

"You can also sell technology to other civilizations and the interstellar trading market to obtain amoeba points. The Spinhaman civilization is a fifth-level civilization. If you have technology that this civilization has not mastered, you will receive high rewards. "

People have 1,500 points in their hands, which is neither too much nor too little. They can barely afford some level-4 civilization technology.

"We can sell the history of new civilizations!" A young scientist had a whim.

People are also prepared in this regard. The knowledge that was originally sold for one or two thousand points would be good if it could be sold again here.

After some sorting, people passed some materials on the history of new civilization to the past and asked the other party to make comments.

"Sorry, we already have this information."

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully and understood that the technology of the entire Amoeba faction should be interoperable. Since humans have been sold in another trading market, they cannot be sold a second time in this market.

Of course, human beings can sell the history of new civilizations to other fourth-level civilizations that don't know about it.

However, the discipline of new civilization historiography is sometimes very effective, but it is actually useless for most civilizations. Because for any civilization, action is often more important and more difficult than theory.

The social structure, ideology, culture and history of each civilization are very different. Copying human beings is a dead end. Therefore, some knowledgeable civilizations think it is a great subject, and it is a good subject. More ignorant civilizations think that this thing has no use value, like a castle in the air, and it is difficult to sell it at a good price.

Zhang Yuandao: "After selling this knowledge, it won't do us too much harm, but if it's sold cheaply, it won't be suitable if it becomes a mess."

"yes!"

"Then that's it..."

Foreign Minister Lao Yang pondered for a while, and said: "The most valuable technology we can sell is extra perception. Let's go to aliens and try to sell things in this area."

The extra perception of a serious person can range from ten thousand to seven or eight thousand amoeba points. The Toss civilization was almost stripped naked by humans for this thing.

Even though they only paid 1,500 points, they gave away most of their core technologies to humans, and they were still extremely happy.

Therefore, after eating the technology accumulated over tens of thousands of years of the Toss civilization, the background of the new human civilization has suddenly risen, and the technology of other third-level civilizations is no longer needed.

But Lao Yang wants to repeat his old tricks and find some more enemies.

Earning ten thousand to ten thousand is called a true fourth-level civilization!

There are more than 8,000 interstellar civilizations in this place. Is there no species similar to the Thos civilization?

Everyone looked at Zhang Yuan, he still had the final say on this matter.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, you are thinking too simply about this matter, so don't be too optimistic. The individual brain structure of each civilization is completely different, and each additional perception development is equivalent to starting from scratch. There's no way to guarantee it."

"Of course, we have cultivated a group of outstanding talents and accumulated a lot of experience. As long as we don't have very strange brains, we should be able to do it in 40 or 50 years. Oh, there are some prerequisites. This civilization must have a relatively strong and reliable Programming-assisted brain technology, otherwise there is no way to transform it..."

"The most important thing is that this civilization must fully trust us, provide enough biological samples, and especially entrust us with its brain modification technology."

"We also have to bear the risk of using virtual world technology...if we use it more, we also have the risk of exposure."

"If you can take care of all this, we should have no problems here."

Lao Yang frowned, these are all troubles, big troubles.

In the end, he clapped his hands and said: "Don't worry about this, we still have a sense of proportion, and we won't yell around. If it doesn't work, we can also sell some scientific papers in this area. It's just about forming extra colors in the brain. The thesis is already quite good."

"Anything related to intelligence is extremely expensive, and you don't have to worry about finding a buyer..."

"My biggest concern is that the trading market will be relocated in 20 years. Do we have enough time?"

"No, no, no, you have to worry about another point!" An expert in the security field had a big disagreement on this aspect: "This kind of paper is sold a lot, and it has an impact on the security of human civilization itself. You need to know, Extra perception can be regarded as our unique technology, even some old fourth-level civilizations cannot compare to us."

"Even if you leave the virtual world aside, it will also attract the covetousness of other civilizations."

"We are all level 4 civilization, what are we afraid of?!"

During this conversation, the territory belonging to the new human civilization has arrived, which is a bare metal plain without any buildings.

The spaceship that human beings are on can only be used as a temporary embassy.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help sighing: "In the future, some construction machines will be transported from the base camp in the rear to build a truly magnificent embassy."

"I'll notify you right away."

As a result, in the first hour after the embassy was established by the new human civilization, an alien civilization came directly to the door!

It is a "Galaxy Curvature Science and Technology Standardization Organization", and its main purpose is to sign the next non-proliferation treaty on curvature science and technology with the new human civilization.

"...Young new human civilization, hello, welcome to the palace of the fourth-level civilization. First of all, let's introduce ourselves. We are from the Quadrilateral Civilization. We are one of the main members of the Galaxy Curvature Technology Research Organization. We are a group of 200,000 people. years of civilization."

"The key research content of this organization is curvature technology and various space technologies, and signed a non-proliferation treaty of curvature technology with each other."

The alien of this quadrangular civilization looks like a black stone, four or five meters high.

It did not enter the human embassy, ​​but stayed in its own spaceship and communicated with humans through electromagnetic waves.

"Non-proliferation treaty?" Zhang Yuan's expression changed, and he remembered some things he encountered when he was in the Huantai civilization trading market.

Seemingly sensing human doubts, the stone man continued: "...You know, the biggest difference between the fourth-level civilization and the third-level civilization is the curvature technology, which is an earth-shaking qualitative change from the military and transportation levels."

"Our Convention Organization was connected by a Level 5 civilization millions of years ago. Its purpose is not to prevent Level 3 civilizations from obtaining curvature technology, but to promote the peaceful development of the galaxy. We just hope that Level 4 civilization Civilizations should not simply give technology to them directly."

"...It doesn't make much sense to give curvature technology directly, and it will cause chaos in the galaxy and cause various conflicts."

The reasons here are very complicated. First of all, the most important thing is to ensure the advantages of the fourth-level civilization, and secondly, to ensure the stability of the galaxy.

Because it is too easy for the fourth-level civilization to escape, if this curvature technology is bad, the situation in the galaxy will become extremely unstable.

"...Only level five civilizations have directional super-light communication and have enough strength to block a space. Even level four civilizations don't have a good way to pursue warp speed."

"Please think about it, once this technology is widely spread, the first-level civilization and the second-level civilization can also have it, what will they think?"

"Their other technologies are poor, but they have warp speed. Will they take the risk to plunder other civilizations to obtain rapid improvement? Attack is always easier than defense. The nuclear weapons of a first-level civilization can still cause damage to our spaceship. I think you should be aware of this."

"If the form of the Milky Way becomes extremely chaotic, how can the interstellar trading market continue?"

"Exchanges between civilizations will also become more difficult, not easier. Any true fourth-level civilization, with tens of thousands of years of development and long historical experience, knows that it is not easy, but first-level civilization Does civilization know? They won't know, and it's hard to have such a history."

"There are some civilizations that do not even have unified countries within their own planets and are still in a state of dictatorship."

"There used to be a galaxy where the warp speed was greatly diffused, so a lot of wars were born, and a lot of slavery and slavery were born. Indigenous civilizations in remote areas that have not yet left the planet are simply impossible to develop."

"This is another injustice."

Zhang Yuan had to admit that what this stone man said seemed to make sense...but it felt a bit strange. Could it be that the fourth-level civilization was very moral, while the lower-level civilization was immoral?

In a word, it is to ensure your own advantages.

The stone man continued: "Our treaty stipulates that... any clues about curvature technology are worth ten thousand amoeba points, and complete curvature technology is worth one hundred thousand points. This is the standard price set by this organization." .You just don't want to sell cheaply and disrupt the prices."

After signing the relevant treaty, this organization will give away some knowledge on curvature for free. Of course, it will not be particularly profound knowledge, it is just some common things, but for humans who have just entered the fourth level civilization, it can be considered It's good knowledge.

On the other hand, if humans want to obtain higher-level space technology, it will be cheaper to purchase it within this organization.

"We have one more question..."

A human diplomat seemed to think of something, and asked, "If we violate this agreement and pass this technology on to other civilizations, what kind of punishment will we receive?"

The stone man said meaningfully: "If you violate it secretly and are not known by any other civilization, then there will be no punishment..."

"But if you are known by other civilizations, you may lose the friendship of other civilizations... and all the trading markets of the Amoeba faction will deduct the goodwill of your civilization."

"However, even if the relevant treaties are violated, we do not have the coercive power to threaten your life and safety. Please rest assured."

That's it, Zhang Yuan nodded. This treaty may have been made by the amoeba faction.

After discussing this for a period of time, it is generally believed that curvature technology is the core technology of new human civilization after all, and it is impossible to blindly give it to low-level civilizations. Since it is a regulation signed by most fourth-level civilizations, there are not many side effects, and there is nothing to avoid.

The other party said: "Please tell me the specific reason for obtaining the curvature technology, just briefly state it. We need to track down the approximate source of any civilization obtaining warp speed."

The collision of the two neutron stars has been described, about 400 light-years away. In order to reduce trouble, he also described an ally he had, but of course he didn't say the name "Toss Civilization".

The other party seemed to suddenly realize, "So that's how it is. We observed this neutron star collision. According to previous data, it was indeed detonated in advance! In this way, I can make a mission."

Just as the alien spacecraft was about to fly away slowly, people quickly stopped him again. Because this guy looks quite lively, unlike the big bugs in the Haman civilization, who speak coldly. It would be nice to ask for more information.

"Your Excellency, we still have some questions to ask you. Are you available?"

After pondering for a while, the stone man replied: "Oh, my time is very limited... Is there anything else you want to ask about from your civilization?"

"About the owner of the Dyson Sphere, the Tubby Civilization. This should be a very powerful civilization. We are interested in the spaceship of the owner of the Dyson Sphere... What do you know?"

The other party immediately replied: "We don't know much information about the Tabby civilization. It has been a long, long time since the disappearance of the Tabby civilization. The last affiliated civilization of the Tabby civilization also disappeared 150,000 years ago. .In the A-1 area, there is an artificial intelligence 'Omega' left by the Tabby civilization, which is responsible for the engineering construction of the entire Dyson sphere."

"If you are interested, you can ask your assistant to go to the A1 area to find more information. Sorry, I have to report to the superior department as soon as possible..."

After saying this, the guy quickly started the spacecraft and ran away quickly.

"What a civilization with an impatient temper!" Zhang Yuan shook his head.

If you consult through "Catorampus-3", you will find that the self-introduction of the quadrilateral civilization is "acute personality" and "single process".

The so-called "single process" means that after one thing is done, the second thing will be done.

Human beings are actually single-process creatures, but they have a bad habit of always wanting to do two things at once and often wandering off.

Zhang Yuan can slightly imagine that the internal situation of this civilization, the quadrilateral civilization, is under normal circumstances well-organized, full of order and rules.

"The fourth-level civilization really has its own advantages."
