Chapter 474 The First Transaction
After various detailed discussions, Yu Yifeng soon received various response plans.
"Using a small spaceship to test is undoubtedly a wiser choice. It depends on how the other party reacts..."
As time goes by, the transport spaceship of the new human beings is gradually approaching the other party's commercial spaceship. The ion engine in front has begun to reverse jet deceleration, and the detected signals are also continuously transmitted back.
People want to use this transport spaceship to observe the other party's large spaceship more closely.
From the perspective of the observatory in the distance, the spaceship of the new human beings is like a green bean next to a basketball.
Many members of the think tank are waiting in vain, and the observatory is hot.
"The gravity of the spaceship has begun to increase..."
All the information is from an hour ago. The console on the mothership will not make any commands, and can only rely on the artificial intelligence of the spaceship itself.
From the perspective of the telescope, the transport ship is sailing steadily, and soon it is officially captured by the gravity of "Green 3".
"According to the function equation, the current orbit is correct!" A slight applause sounded at the scene.
If a transport ship has a wrong orbit, the new human civilization will lose face.
The other party gave a very detailed equation, requiring the transport ship of the new human race to enter the dark matter deflection shield with a very accurate position and direction, otherwise it will be attacked by automatic defense weapons and the consequences will be at its own risk.
This requirement is not excessive. With the assistance of artificial intelligence inside the ship, the orbit is quite accurate. The two sides are slowly approaching, just like an airplane refueling in the air.
At this moment, people widened their eyes. At the moment when the transport ship broke into the "dark matter deflection shield", a strange deflection occurred in the direction. The two expected orbits that were originally inconsistent suddenly matched again.
Then, the information sent by the transport ship to the outside became unclear, and people only vaguely saw the translation and rotation of various machines. A huge hole with a diameter of about one kilometer opened from the side of the butterfly-shaped spacecraft and swallowed the transport ship whole.
People observed some internal mechanical equipment, and the information was very vague, with various miscellaneous fragments. This may be due to the "dark matter deflection shield".
Then, the hole closed, and the military control screen suddenly flashed.
"Report to the captain, all transmission signals are gone!" A soldier sent an urgent order.
This transport ship of the new human race has lost contact.
Yu Yifeng nodded, without any panic.
The other party could not allow the transport ship of the new human race to detect the equipment inside, and it was normal for the signal to be blocked.
Now, it depends on the other party's reaction.
His heart has begun to beat faster. If there is really an inevitable crisis, the other party may indeed covet this ship!
"Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. How will they deal with it?"
The 600-meter-long transport ship uses nuclear fusion energy. Although it cannot sail at the stellar level, it is more than enough to carry a part of the population and escape from this dangerous area.
"If that's the case, this ship will be given to them. But don't blame us for asking too much for the next thing."
The transaction has not been completed yet, and the psychological warfare between civilizations has already started through a ship.
Yu Yifeng and others have thought about it from the perspective of others. If the "Home" suddenly cannot fly, all the small planes will lose their use.
So, will the new humans covet this very tempting, life-saving spaceship?
"Maybe, because it can save lives... What if the other party doesn't sell you a single spaceship after you return it? Wouldn't that mean you've lost the opportunity in vain?"
"Or maybe not..."
It's possible that everything is the new humans' own delusion;
But it's also possible that these speculations are true.
This time, the wait took a total of 13 hours, as if every minute and every second was so painful. Many people even asked robots to deliver takeout in order to know the details at the first moment.
There is no gravity in the observatory, so everyone can only eat a little toothpaste-like food.
People finally waited for the other party's reply: "Very good, this batch of materials meets the requirements, and we are very satisfied. The following is the A3 silicon-based chip technology..."
A large amount of information came in continuously, and the scientists were shocked and immediately began to distinguish the authenticity of these contents.
Through quantum computers, it is possible to directly simulate and build a similar chip, and it is easy to know whether this thing is true or false. Its complexity is so-so and can be handled.
After sending this technological information, the other party said: "This transport spaceship does not belong to our transaction scope, so we will return it to you."
Slightly beyond Yi Feng's expectations, the other party actually returned the spaceship. He didn't know whether he should be relieved or sigh.
The people sitting in the conference room were also silent for a while.
Then they discussed: "The other party may be a serious businessman, and everything is our imagination."
"But it is also possible that they saw our intentions... Don't think that the other party is a fool. If their spaceship is broken, they will definitely not be satisfied with such a transport spaceship!"
"How can an interstellar civilization be so stupid... They are trying to play a long game to catch big fish, so as to avoid being discovered by us..."
Yu Yifeng nodded. Of course, he would not relax his mind because of the return of the transport spacecraft.
The competition between civilizations is not as natural and harmonious as the internal one... All kinds of intrigues are inevitable.
This is very similar to the competition between countries in low-level civilizations. Some things seem to be just trivial matters, but it is necessary to guess the other party's psychology and purpose through these trivial matters in order to obtain greater benefits.
Things did not go as smoothly as expected, and soon, he burned his fighting spirit again.
The situation of the return of the spacecraft was also within the scope of discussion: "Then... execute the backup plan!"
The backup plan, of course, is to treat it as a real businessman.
In the absence of clear evidence, it is not a wise choice for the lion to speak.
Some Titan spacecraft can indeed be sold if the price is right, and it will not involve the core technology of the new human civilization.
"But even if the other party is a real businessman, we will not be stupid enough to satisfy the other party's appetite directly. What's more, there are still doubts now."
If the spacecraft is to be sold one by one, it is always necessary to squeeze more profits. Moreover, the sale of these Titan spacecraft is not an easy matter. Whether the weapons and equipment, curvature engines, and combat artificial intelligence inside need to be matched, detailed negotiations are required.
After sending these conditions, the other party responded quickly.
"... Of course the weapon system must exist! The minimum standard is as follows... If it is lower than this standard, we will return it intact!"
"Do you think 80 Amoeba points are big green glue? This is... Amoeba points! Something universal in the Milky Way, it can be used in any Amoeba Merchant Alliance market! We guarantee it with our reputation."
"Related artificial intelligence, just keep the most original, we have a system to import our own things. The electronic interface requirements are as follows... It is best to have a converter between programs."
Faced with the various demands of the new humans, the roar of the other party seemed to have traveled through more than one billion kilometers and reached people's eardrums, as if they had suffered a great loss...
The mall is like a battlefield, but it is a little different. It is common to take a step back and take a step forward.
As long as the business can go on, even if you roar at each other, you can still be friends afterwards.
Even if you part unhappily, you will not go to war immediately.
While negotiating with the other party, Yu Yifeng frowned and discussed internally: "So, the other party just wants to buy some armed spaceships to protect themselves? Did they get into trouble? Is there a destroyer civilization on the trading route ahead?"
"It is very likely so!"
But a member of the parliament knocked on the table hard, puffing his beard and glaring: "Don't think like that, this is a meaning that the other party deliberately revealed to us! We followed his direction and fell into the trap."
Buying armed spaceships and buying life-saving spaceships are indeed two different prices.
Armed spaceships can be chosen if they are too expensive; life-saving spaceships are the ones that can be blackmailed.
"It's a pity that the other party actually returned this transport spaceship! Alas... It would be better if they didn't return it."
These experts were unable to see through the other party's true intentions, and did not want to miss this trading opportunity, so they could only keep studying the existing information and racking their brains to think...
