Chapter 472 Strange Merchant

This loud shout awakened the enthusiastic crowd.

After slowly calming down, they all stopped fantasizing and sighed, thinking about the true intention of this commercial spacecraft.

After a while, a member of the think tank stood up and said: "There are only three answers. First, they are scammers; second, they really want to trade and open up this market at a preferential price; third, there are other the goal of……"

"According to common sense, if you want to open up a market in someone else's territory, you will definitely have to fight a price war..."

Yu Yifeng nodded: "The price of a flagship with 12,000 points is indeed not bad, and it is quite favorable for us. Converting it according to industrial production capacity, if we produce 12,000 points of antimatter, we can already make more. Flagship.”

Someone else stood up and said: "Although we can't sell three flagships at once, then... how about one. One flagship, 12,000 points, can't be exchanged for the Dark Matter Deflection Shield, but it can be exchanged for a lot of technology."

"Other technologies are also needed."

There was an endless stream of voices in the conference room.

Opposition still accounts for the majority, "A flagship will damage a quarter of our combat power, and the opponent's combat power will be greatly enhanced... It is best not to do such an action. If the opponent is really a robber , maybe they are still worried about us now... Once the deal is made, the combat power will be reversed. "

"It's better not to trade the flagship...don't be greedy for cheap."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Yu Yifeng still hardened his heart...rejected the transaction again, although the temptation of the other party was indeed great.

After making this decision, he felt relieved.

"I'm sorry, these medium-sized warships do not fall into the scope of this transaction. However, our army still has excess small spacecraft suitable for interstellar voyages..."

These tradable spaceships are of course "Titans". A two-kilometer spacecraft with a curvature engine is still qualified for long-distance interstellar navigation.

However, it is a little inconvenient to replenish energy every time it flies for more than ten light years.

Immediately afterwards, people sent the relevant parameters of the "Titan" spacecraft.

These parameters are of course for the castrated version, not the latest model of spacecraft. It is impossible for the new humans to be so stupid as to completely hand over their own details and combat effectiveness reports to the other party.

The waiting begins again, no one knows how the other party will reply.

At this moment, suddenly, a very weak voice emerged from the silent crowd: "Have you ever thought about why the other party wants to buy our spaceship? What is the motive?"

"Why?"

Yu Yifeng's heart trembled. He thought for a while but said nothing.

"Tell me what you think." Yu Yifeng asked.

This young man is a strange face and has not been seen before, which means that he has just qualified for the conference and is an outstanding talent who has passed many selections.

The man stood up unhurriedly, with a slightly red face, and said in an unconfident voice: "I have three guesses. First, the other party is indeed a liar. I don't know how to tell that we are just novices. Super interstellar civilization... maybe it was the words or something else, but it was seen anyway."

"For the liar, it wants to deceive our spaceship. It can deceive whatever it has, no motive is required."

"Secondly, due to intellectual barriers, the other party's top-level technology may be weaker than ours, but they are more knowledgeable and can see that our flagship is a spaceship that uses a large amount of nanomaterials."

"So, the price of 12,000 points may actually be an underestimate. After they buy it, they can still make a little profit or do some research. This possibility is not impossible..."

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was watching, which made his face even hotter and redder.

"Third... let me explain first, I don't have any evidence for the third conjecture. I just made it casually for your reference only."

Yu Yifeng nodded solemnly.

"Third, the opponent's spaceship may have been damaged and looks intact, but it cannot fly! So they urgently need to buy a spaceship from us, even if they pay a relatively high price!"

There was a brief silence in the venue, and then there was an explosion.

Someone soon jumped out and refuted the third guess: "It's impossible. This statement is too contradictory. Could it be that a large spaceship that travels across the stars doesn't even carry basic repair equipment? Not even engineers. If you don’t have it, you dare to go out to do business?”

"Also...for example, if the main engine of our spaceship is broken, there is also a auxiliary engine. If the auxiliary engine is broken, there is a backup... How stupid do you have to be to make the spacecraft completely unable to fly? Isn't there something inside the spacecraft? Do you have to buy spare small spaceships from us? Are they all damaged?"

If you think about it carefully, it is simply ridiculous that a perfectly good spaceship suddenly cannot fly. Do you really think interstellar navigation is as easy as driving on the road?

The young man suddenly turned red with embarrassment and couldn't even raise his head.

After being criticized, he felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous.

But soon, Yu Yifeng suppressed the noisy crowd, "A place like this requires brainstorming. Qualifications are not the most important. Having different ideas is a good thing."

"...We need a broader mind to make better decisions. What's your name?" Yu Yifeng asked.

"Xiao Zuo!" The thin-skinned young man seemed to have some confidence and quickly said his name.

Because of Xiao Zuo's reminder, people were racking their brains to speculate on the other party's "motive" for buying a large spaceship!

One of the experts stood up and said, "Let me talk about the fourth possibility. The other party has to go to the next trading location. They know clearly that there may be big business there. But this commercial spaceship itself can't hold more things, so they want to buy a large spaceship from us."

"Or maybe there is a destroyer civilization there, which has become a dangerous area and requires a stronger military force! So we need to buy a spaceship."

"... There is this possibility, or perhaps this speculation is more likely."

After this period of discussion, basically all speculations have been exhausted.

Yu Yifeng did not raise any objections and asked again, "So, what does it mean for the other party to buy organic matter? Is there a sudden population explosion and missing supplies? Such a large spaceship can't even grow some food?"

This point is a bit incredible.

Or... it's just a cover. No matter how much the price of organic matter is raised, it's just like that. All the animals and plants of the new human beings are added together, and the protein is only sold for the price of one hand.

Or... the third guess is confirmed indirectly, the spacecraft is damaged? ! Can't produce food?

Or, the next trading location needs a lot of organic matter, can they make money?

Everyone pondered, and in the discussion, more and more suspicious points of this commercial spacecraft appeared.

Even many experts found key evidence that "the other party's spacecraft is suspected to be damaged"!

"You see, the other party forcibly chose this three-body star as the trading location. The three-body motion is a chaotic motion, which is extremely sensitive to the initial value. Even human observation behavior will affect this motion!" Professor Thomson, an astronomer, said excitedly.

Therefore, it is impossible to predict this motion with complete accuracy.

Staying in such a place is a danger in itself.

"Is it possible that the spacecraft has no power and can only stop in such a place?"

"And the orbit of the spacecraft is too strange. Such a flat ellipse is completely based on inertial motion. Although there is a sense of showing off... but there is no need for this, right?"

Several computing experts even suspected that such a shape was pulled out by... the gravitational influence of the surrounding stars!

In other words, its initial orbit was a circle. But over the past few decades, the gravitational pull of other stars has forced it into an ellipse.

"It seems to prove that the spacecraft has no power."

It's very strange, really very strange.
