Controlling the Dyson Sphere

Several inspectors who went out said: "...the hemisphere civilization that we are negotiating with is a relatively young third-level civilization."

"They are a civilization that prefers mechanical evolution. Apart from a brain, there seems to be no other biological tissue. Their home planet is 189 light-years away, not far from here. They want to develop A planetary fortress of our own, if the price is right, we are willing to sell it to us."

"What about the results of the geological survey?"

"Very nice, pretty good, the only downside, it's not a round ball, it has some protruding corners."

Zhang Yuan looked at this photo. The overall appearance of the planet is indeed not a perfect sphere. The highest peak on the surface is 30,000 meters, and there are many such peaks... But this is good, there is a little problem, the price It can be cheaper.

The hemispheric civilization has been excavating on this planet for more than a thousand years, and all the huge underground spaces have been completed.

"If we really buy it, it will save us a lot of time. The price is 1,309 amoeba points... We want to erase this fraction, but the other party is unwilling to do so. They insist that 9 is a lucky number. "

"What about equivalent technology? Do they need it?" People don't want to directly use hard currency such as amoeba points. It would be good if they could exchange things for things.

"Of course, they are still negotiating. They are eager to assist brain technology and improve their intelligence..."

"Auxiliary brain..." Zhang Yuan nodded meaningfully.

Anyway, no matter what, it can be regarded as good news in recent years.

As for the rest of diplomacy, there are many obstacles. For level 4 technologies that humans value, the other parties generally charge very high prices. On the contrary, level 3 civilizations are easier to negotiate. But the technology of the third-level civilization is basically not needed by human beings.

Unless human beings are willing to buy technology directly from the fifth-level Haman civilization from the trading market, but the cost of that is also very high.

"...it's difficult to integrate because the political sphere of influence has been demarcated here."

The leader, the diplomat Lao Yang, sighed and said: "How should I put it... because the trading market will be relocated soon, but this neutral Dyson sphere will not leave. It will still produce antimatter energy. A level of maintenance and providing a place to live."

"Therefore, there will inevitably be a vacancy in power!"

He clenched his fist: "Whoever controls this Dyson ball can become the boss of this starry sky!"

Lin Xuanxuan's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "Can the Dyson ball... also be controlled?"

Mr. Yang explained: "It is of course impossible to completely control the Dyson sphere. How can it be so easy to find the loopholes of artificial intelligence Omega? Maybe it is already a strong artificial intelligence! But it can be controlled from other angles. …"

"First of all, you can live freely inside the Dyson sphere, and you cannot attack each other, otherwise you will be counterattacked by your own defense system."

"Residence needs to be allocated. Who will allocate it? Which civilization should maintain the Dyson sphere? This is also a kind of power!"

"How is the boundary where attacks are not allowed to be determined? If I use an excavator to level the territory of another civilization, does it count as an attack?"

"These are powers!"

"Won't Omega care?"

"I don't care! Even if it is a strong intelligence, its thinking logic is still different from the logic of normal life. It may not have the so-called concepts of power, desire, survival, etc... But the fact is that it is difficult for us to understand such things ."

Lao Yang continued: "Moreover, there are a large number of meteorites and planets on the periphery of the Dyson sphere, which are equivalent to resource supply areas. Most of the civilized spaceships also stay on the periphery. Currently, the security and order of the periphery are determined by the trading market. To provide it, although this trading market does not take care of things, it does not allow various civilizations to attack each other in the peripheral areas."

"Ten years later, once the trading market of the amoeba faction leaves? Civilizations attack each other, as long as they don't hit the Dyson ball, they won't fight back..."

"Of course, once you attack the Dyson Sphere, you may have to eat the jump cannon and anti-matter missiles launched by Omega."

"So under normal circumstances, there will not be too huge a full-scale melee. However, even so, it is enough to form different political forces to test and mediate with each other...Which civilization controls the outer space of the Dyson sphere, this civilization becomes a Dyson sphere. The hidden master."

"This is also the main reason why the price of military products has increased over thousands of years."

Zhang Yuan frowned, feeling that this kind of thing was too weird, just like humans fighting for territory in the Earth Age.

A large number of fourth-level civilizations, including third-level civilizations, are actually fighting for control of the Dyson Sphere here. It is simply...

What a big appetite!

He was a little sad again for the Tubby civilization that had built the Dyson Sphere. This kind-hearted civilization worked hard to build a Dyson sphere and wanted to enlighten the entire galaxy. It never imagined that something like this would happen hundreds of thousands of years later.

However, what a huge benefit it is to implicitly control this huge Dyson sphere!

This Dyson sphere is not only an antimatter production base, but also a research site for various giant experiments, and it is also a war weapon that can fight against the fifth-level civilization!

Zhang Yuan frowned: "How do these fourth-level civilizations control a third-level civilization? It is an interstellar civilization after all, so how can it listen to others?"

"We believe that most of the civilizations here have a tendency to become the civilization of the perishing... Specifically, the potential for further development is not great." Mr. Yang took a sip of the soup and patted his stomach contentedly.

Immediately afterwards, he broke the news, "From the race named 'Atush' that I have come into contact with, we can get a glimpse..."

How to control a serious interstellar civilization?

There are many ways. The first is to provide them with standard technology and complete control from the technological system level.

After low-level civilizations use this set of technological standards, they often know what they are doing but don't know why. If they want to move forward, they must continue to cooperate in all aspects.

"... Just like the original universal factory of the Gliese people, it progressed too fast, resulting in a weak foundation."

Zhang Yuan recalled the past and understood a little bit. He sighed: "With a lot of ready-made technology, who wouldn't use it! As a result, after the entire industrial system was changed, it was found that it could never be changed again. ."

The second is to create confrontation!

For example, in a civilization, there are green-skinned subspecies and blue-skinned subspecies. Originally, these subspecies are just the product of genetic mutations. There is no reproductive isolation. Everyone is in harmony with each other, and I feel nothing.

However, in long-term exchanges, more advanced civilizations can bring this issue to the forefront. They only need to support the blue subspecies for a long selection period, take a high look at them, and then despise and reject the green-skinned subspecies.

Over time, separatist sentiments will naturally arise within low-level civilizations.

Lao Yang said: "This is a very simple and very effective strategy."
