Chapter 470 A Favorable Price
Due to the distance, each communication takes more than an hour to transmit. So for the sake of simplicity, all the words are said at once.
After the other party introduced himself, he chattered a long string of words: "Blue Star Civilization, you are the first interstellar civilization we met in this event, and you are also a brand new customer!"
"So, after repeated consideration, we decided... to give you a big discount!"
"We have various technologies at the L2, L3, and L4 levels, a large number of strange life species, and a large amount of material resources... We can buy and sell everything, and there are discounts for large quantities. Please refer to this table for specific prices..."
"... If you think the price is not suitable, you can discuss it with us in detail, and everything can be negotiated... I hope we can establish a deep friendship in the transaction."
In the words, the businessman seemed to have a little "joy" because of finding a new customer, and there was also a flattering statement.
Then, people received a large amount of radio wave data, and the information encoding was very conventional and not encrypted.
After the experts at the observatory analyzed it, they found that all this data was commodity information.
"Discount?" Hearing this word, Yu Yifeng instinctively brought a trace of vigilance.
This vigilance is not about safety, but the kind of fear of being "cheated".
"This businessman is really amazing. With just a few words, many people have an inexplicable good impression of him."
It deliberately shows weakness, like a salesman who has been unable to sell anything for a long time, and suddenly attracts business. The "surprise" coupled with some "discounts" naturally gives people a psychological advantage.
This psychological advantage is deliberately created for you by the other party.
Of course, he will not be fooled by this kind of psychological means commonly used by low-level civilizations, and it is impossible for him to be blinded by some discounts.
Yu Yifeng quickly stared at the form and his heart moved slightly.
Even if there is no trading activity, it is not a loss just relying on this form.
Through this information, the new humans can roughly estimate what the currency unit of interstellar civilization is like.
"Assuming that this businessman really gave some discounts or played some treacherous means, theoretically there will not be much difference. The approximate price should be accurate. Estimate it in the price range of 50%-200%..."
There are many scientists in the captain's room, plus the staff distributed in various places on the Noah, and they all studied these data together.
At the same time, they were talking quietly with interest.
As expected, just as people thought, this table uses "antimatter" as the basic trading unit.
The trading objects are varied, including materials, technology, biology, information and even labor, which can be traded.
A scientist converted the data in the table: "According to our calculation unit, 112.32 tons of antimatter can be exchanged for 1 amoeba point."
Yu Yifeng frowned slightly, this number is not small.
When 1 gram of antimatter meets positive matter, it can produce 43,000 tons of TNT equivalent energy after annihilation. After 112.32 tons of antimatter explodes, it can produce... nearly 5 trillion tons of TNT equivalent explosion.
Of course, after more than a hundred years of development, it is not a big problem for the new humans to take out hundreds of tons of antimatter.
"728.092 million tons of helium-3 is 1 amoeba point." Yu Yifeng felt a little bit annoyed when he saw this data.
700 million tons of helium-3, only one point?
Helium-3, with an extra "10,000" in the unit behind it, can't be sold for much money at all, and has become a kind of cheap labor.
So the dream of buying with cheap materials has gone down the drain.
"Similarly, deuterium is even cheaper... 714,215,900 tons of deuterium can be exchanged for 1 ameba point... and there are purity requirements." The scientist in charge of unit conversion scratched his head, feeling headache about such numbers.
These things require pure substances, and you can't just take some water and sell them for money, you have to separate and purify them.
At a glance, basically everything is calculated by "10,000 tons".
In the case of very common materials in the universe, these things really can't be sold for money, at most they can be used as porters and sell a little "labor".
What surprised Yu Yifeng was that "tritium", "uranium" and "complex organic matter" were actually more valuable than ordinary nuclear fusion fuels.
But after thinking about it carefully, people soon understood that the half-life of "tritium" is not long, and it is difficult to produce and preserve. It is impossible to exist on a large scale, so it is normal that the price is high; the production of "uranium" is also very difficult, and it can only be obtained in large quantities through supernova explosions. The amount of uranium mined on each earth-like planet is quite limited.
And "complex organic matter" can only be produced on life planets, and artificial synthesis is also relatively difficult, which is relatively more "expensive". Of course, material resources, no matter how expensive, are cheap compared to the things below.
This alien commercial spacecraft does not accept or sell these cheap things. Because the capacity of the spacecraft is really limited, if they are sold tens of billions of tons of cheap helium-3, it is impossible to load them underground...
"I can understand it." Some scientists murmured to themselves: "It's good to use it yourself, but it's still not good to sell it for money."
"I didn't see any particularly expensive materials, nor the price of perfect elements..."
Yu Yifeng was not discouraged, but excitedly turned the form to the next page.
“It’s very informative!”
This page is information about various indigenous planets. Maybe this commercial spacecraft collected them along the way. This kind of information is not particularly expensive and is simply written.
He didn't look at it much, only a fool would buy this.
If it were a complete map of interstellar civilization, he might consider it.
On the next page, there are some... strange creatures!
This "Libusis Civilization" writes very proudly: "We have collected thousands of powerful alien creatures, which are fierce and full of fighting power, and extremely tenacious! Some of these individuals are creatures created by more advanced civilizations, with very special characteristics. Unique genetic material…
"The research on nanodynamics and gene dynamics is of great reference significance. There are even silicon-based organisms..."
A long list of bala bala, some interest. But at first glance, each creature required several points, which made Yu Yifeng shake his head.
No matter how powerful the creature is, a nuclear bomb will kill it. Genetic material, special nanodynamics, and gene dynamics templates do have some value.
But a few points... are too expensive, right?
"Even rare silicon-based organisms...are not worth the price."
"What else is so powerful that it can be used in interstellar battles? Is there some kind of interstellar colosseum?" He felt a little confused and skipped the page again.
However, I made a note in my mind that these strange creatures were so valuable, so I would pay more attention to them in the future.
Selling special creatures is much more cost-effective than stupidly collecting resources.
"I wonder how much our Gaia biological spirit can be sold for?" Yu Yifeng thought to himself. But he quickly laughed to himself and said that it was of course impossible to sell Ling.
Followed by various technologies, this is the big one. Various patent-like pictures are displayed on the screen in rows. There are only some specific introductions written on them, and there are tens of thousands of them.
"There are a lot of technologies! It seems that technology is the main transaction content."
These technologies are all redeemed by "Amoeba Points". The cheap ones only cost a few points, while the expensive ones cost thousands of points!
Yu Yifeng thoughtfully said that this point system is actually a kind of behavior that binds users, but it also simplifies the operation to a certain extent.
If the Amoeba Alliance has many markets in the galaxy and is strong, then "Amoeba Points" are universal in each market. Then the points of this business alliance will become the general equivalent of transactions between star civilizations, equivalent to the universal currency on earth like the "US dollar". Of course, the benefits are needless to say.
A group of scientists who had long been hungry and thirsty couldn't wait to study this technology table.
People gradually discovered that the theoretical part is generally expensive, because theory is common to all civilizations.
The table lists basic theories such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, plus theories on the level of interstellar civilization. Because of their importance and difficulty, each has its own price.
However, the other party does not have a solution to such a big problem as the "Riemann Hypothesis", which makes people quite proud. I don’t know if it’s because the other party doesn’t want to sell, or because they haven’t resolved it yet.
