Chapter 164 Temptation and Competition

"Oh my God, this is a treasure!"

The scientists stared feverishly at the exchange catalog that Ziweixing gave them and drooled.

Many technologies that they have racked their brains but cannot break through are in this catalog, and they are only a negligible part of this catalog.

A scientist with gray hair and a big head, who looked very prestigious at first glance, said: "There is no doubt that the technology we need most is the curvature jump technology, as well as the mathematics, materials science, and physics that support the curvature jump technology. , astronomy and other knowledge.”

A young scientist looked at the catalog obsessively and said: "What technology should we exchange with them?"

The technological level of interstellar civilization is vastly different from that of non-interstellar civilization. They are jealous and inferior to them. They feel that adding up all the technologies of their own civilization is not enough to exchange for curvature jump technology, let alone other technologies on the catalog.

I want to exchange all the technologies in this catalog unless Ziweixing does charity.

"Have you discovered it? Their civilization doesn't seem to have developed much biotechnology, especially genetic modification. Their catalog doesn't mention it at all."

Finally, a scientist discovered the blind spot.

That's right, the technologies that are not on this catalog are the technologies that Ziweixing is missing.

"Sure enough, the master's conjecture was correct." Another scientist sighed, "After entering interstellar civilization, the boundaries of science have been expanded to infinite possibilities. No civilization has the energy to cover everything. It can only work in a few places. In-depth exploration of each subject.”

After a few minutes of discussion, the well-established old scientist at the beginning said: "Since everyone feels that the other civilization has gaps in biotechnology, then we will mainly provide biotechnology, which happens to be our strength."

A total of 3,000 scientists participated in this cloud conference, of which 2,000 were in the field of biotechnology, and only 1,000 in all other science and technology fields combined.

The old scientist said excitedly: "Please list all the biotechnologies you can think of and upload them to me. We have to compete with those bastards for time!"

The bastard he meant was a scientist from another planet.

Tens of thousands of technical names were transmitted to the old scientist, and in just five minutes, the number of catalog pages exceeded one to one hundred.

"That's it."

The old scientists nodded while looking at the numerous biotechnologies on the catalog that were either familiar or tricky. These technologies were basically all the valuable biotechnologies they had mastered.

The so-called valuable means that it requires careful study for a period of time to obtain and has practical significance.

The old scientist sent the compiled catalog back to many scientists. He urged in a loud voice: "Let's sort out the lowest technologies first and replace them quickly. We must be faster than those bastards."

Soon, a catalog containing more than 8,000 technical items was born. The old scientists sent the catalog to their leaders almost as soon as it was created, along with a catalog of the technologies they wished to redeem.

After going around several times, this catalog came into the hands of the Ziwei star diplomats.

"This trick really works. No matter how sophisticated the civilization is, as long as it is willing to squeeze in, it will still be efficient." He said with a relaxed expression, "Show this catalog to our scientists."

Ding!

Another catalog was sent over. The contents were similar and it was sent from another civilization.

The Ziwei star diplomat said regretfully: "Tsk, it's less than thirty seconds late. It's a pity that they can't exchange anything. Please send this to our scientists for review."

The scientists at Ziweixing are delighted.

In the Federation, it is illegal to study genetic modification, so there is a gap in genetic modification technology, which was finally supplemented today.

"Except for these forty-three items, I want all the others."

Ziweixing's team of scientists submitted a demand catalog and provided a relatively fair exchange plan, rejecting only a small number of exchange requests that were deemed to have serious mismatches in value.

But this is for the first civilization, the second civilization is not so lucky.

Their catalog overlaps too much with the catalog of the first civilization. Only one tenth is new, so only a few technologies can be exchanged.

After receiving the response from Ziwei Star, the first civilization blossomed with joy, while the other civilization became gloomy.

"we agree!"

The scientists of the first civilization jumped with joy after receiving the news. They were not only happy that they successfully redeemed the technology, but also happy that the other civilization could not redeem it.

This is happiness based on the sadness of others.

"What do you do for food?" The leader of the second civilization was furious. "If I let you discuss it, you will come up with this result. What will you do now?"

He originally thought that his own civilization would be faster than the first civilization, so he rejected the consultant's suggestion to unite with the first civilization. Now he regrets it.

They only exchanged 10% of the technology!

This means that their opponents are ahead of them in 90% of their new technologies. What's worse is that these technologies are all technologies in areas that they are not good at. They don't know what year or month it will take to catch up.

The chief scientist of this civilization said cautiously: "We can take the lead in exchanging advanced technologies."

"Then why are you still standing there?"

Another round of intense competition began.

The scientists of the two civilizations must ensure that the technology they bring out is enough to exchange for the curvature navigation technology they want most, but they cannot overpay too much, so that in addition to the curvature navigation technology, they still have a surplus to exchange for more other technologies.

The most important thing is to be fast!

Otherwise, nothing can be exchanged!

The opportunity is fleeting. In the first round of exchange, the two civilizations did not cooperate, and now it is completely impossible.

The first civilization has exchanged a lot of new technologies, and they are very happy to compete in the second round, because even if they are late, they still have enough technology to trade with the second civilization.

On the contrary, if the first civilization takes the lead again, they will win a comprehensive victory, and they can suppress the second civilization in all aspects for a long time in the future, and completely change the long-standing balance.

This is worth a try.

While the second civilization let the scientists discuss, they did not forget to contact the first civilization, wanting to cooperate to stop the loss, but the response they received was very cold.

"Damn it, no, we can't wait any longer." The leader of the second civilization gritted his teeth, "Stop discussing, what technology is left, take it all out, and only exchange it for curvature navigation!"

Someone disagreed: "But."

The leader of the second civilization said firmly: "No buts! Do it immediately!"

He is now very sober, he knows that if they are preempted again this time, they will be finished.

"Hey, this civilization is anxious"

The scientists of Ziwei Star were a little surprised after receiving the list, not because of anything else, they were too satisfied with this catalog.

Although they are not deeply involved in biotechnology, they can see the development of biotechnology of the two civilizations from the mutual visits in recent days. This catalog covers almost all the technologies they speculate to exist.

Including how to regulate gene expression to prolong life, and how to produce biomachinery and other core technologies.

A sentence and an appendix came with this catalog.

"If there is any technology left in this catalog after exchanging for curvature navigation technology, we hope to exchange the technologies in the appendix in turn."

It has to be said that this is a very smart approach.

Although the decision-making power is completely handed over to Ziwei Star, it is already a way for the second civilization to maximize its interests under the current circumstances.

Ziwei Star could certainly choose to only give the curvature navigation technology.

As a stumbling block technology for ordinary civilizations to advance to interstellar civilizations, the price of curvature navigation technology is not excessive, after all, only Ziwei Star can provide this technology.

However, Ziwei Star does not have strong malice.

"Let's exchange it, you can discuss it."

At this time, the list of the first civilization also came late. They were five minutes slower than the second civilization, and the situation was completely reversed. This time, only 10% of their technology was new technology, and even the curvature navigation technology could not be exchanged.
