Chapter 247 Lost Contact
"Don't go too far!"
Quintasa could no longer bear it, and roared at Qian Feiyan through the glass: "Room-temperature superconducting ore is good, but it must be in a certain quantity. You don't just want to give 100,000 tons, do you?"
"What can 100,000 tons do?"
"You want to use 100,000 tons of room-temperature superconducting ore in exchange for the wisdom of our civilization for billions of years?"
"Are you dreaming?"
Quintasa was furious.
She had long felt the greed of humans, but she didn't expect humans to be so greedy.
One hundred thousand tons of room-temperature superconducting ore.
Room-temperature superconducting ore is indeed very useful, and can make many disciplines of the Creator civilization go a step further, but this is based on a sufficient amount of room-temperature superconducting ore.
If the United Government can only provide a little bit of room-temperature superconducting ore, and it will be gone after a few uses, then it will not make much sense for the Creator civilization.
"I tell you solemnly!"
"If you want to exchange 100,000 tons of room-temperature superconducting ore with us for ten advanced technologies and computer algorithms, this deal will never be reached!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"This is a fantasy! Do you understand?"
Quintasa was very excited.
Qian Feiyan stretched out his hands and made a gesture of pressing in the air, signaling Quintasha to restrain her emotions.
"Ms. Quintasha, you misunderstood." Qian Feiyan shook his head and said seriously, "We will not provide 100,000 tons of superconducting room-temperature ore for this deal."
He was not going to play a guessing game with Quintasha, and planned to reveal the answer directly.
"We are ready to provide."
Quintasa stared at Qian Feiyan's mouth with bated breath, and a hint of expectation rose reluctantly in her heart.
Maybe she really misunderstood humans?
Maybe humans are not as greedy as she thought, at least they will be more generous in this deal.
However, as Qian Feiyan's upper and lower lips opened and closed, an answer that she did not expect drilled into her ears and pierced her heart fiercely.
"One piece!"
"One piece of room-temperature superconducting ore!"
Qian Feiyan's expression was extremely serious, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
Quintasa: ? ? ?
She suspected that her sensor was out of order. What did Qian Feiyan say? How much superconducting ore did humans prepare to provide?
One piece? !
"Room-temperature superconducting ore is very rare. It took us many years to dig out a small amount." Seeing that Quintasha was motionless, Qian Feiyan emphasized again, "We can only give you one piece, but please rest assured that although it is only one piece, it is more than enough for microscopic research. You can also try to synthesize this substance artificially."
Crackling-crackling-crackling--
A strange sound came from the air.
Quintasa bit her iron teeth and copper teeth, and her eyes were like a sharp sword nailed on Qian Feiyan's face, trying to measure the thickness of human skin.
One piece? God damn one piece!
What can a piece of room-temperature superconducting ore do? It can only be taken to the laboratory for microscopic research, and it has no practical use at all.
"Are you kidding us?" Quintasha was so angry that she could not sit still. She floated in the air, her face almost touching the glass. "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you think you can exchange our technology for just a piece of superconducting ore?"
"I don't think you have the sincerity to negotiate at all!"
Quintasha was really angry this time.
Every time she had a new understanding of human shamelessness, humans would soon refresh this understanding to another level.
Qian Feiyan shook his head and sighed, "I think you also understand what it means to discover a new material and the difficulty of discovering a new material."
"The reserves of this material are very low, we can only give you a little for research."
"But your attainments in the microscopic field are not low. Even if there is only a little sample, you should be able to quickly make artificial products with similar properties, right?"
The United Government did not cheat the Creator Civilization in this matter.
Because the United Government itself has been studying the technology of artificial Pandora ore, and has made great progress, but the experimental conditions are relatively harsh and cannot be met for the time being.
But the scientists of the United Government are very optimistic about this experiment.
After dealing with the matters of Quintasha and the Creator Civilization, the United Government will set out to find a suitable place to complete this experiment and try to achieve the freedom of Pandora ore.
The Creator Civilization can turn ordinary metals into deformed metals, and its attainments in the microscopic field must be very deep. What the United Government can study clearly, the Creator Civilization can definitely study clearly.
"We will not only provide you with samples, we will also tell you how this ore is naturally formed. I believe you can achieve artificial production by your own strength."
Qian Feiyan smiled at Quintasha: "We are very sincere, please believe us no matter what."
Quintasha's face softened a little.
If the United Government can provide the natural formation of this ore, then the obstacles for the Creator Civilization to break through artificial technology will not be great, because even if the Creator Civilization cannot synthesize it artificially, it can reproduce this process in nature.
Anyway, the Creator Civilization is an ancient civilization that is not sensitive to life span and time.
"I want to discuss this matter with my civilization, but you are asking for too much. Even if you can provide us with a new material that is... well, a little special, my civilization will still not agree."
Quintasa was a bit arrogant.
In fact, she had already approved the deal in her heart, but she wanted to discuss the specific technology and the amount of the transaction, but she still had to say "no".
Qian Feiyan spread his hands: "Please."
Quintasa slowly closed her eyes and sank her thoughts into the empty space of consciousness.
For low-level civilizations, it is not cost-effective to exchange technology for materials, because a special material often does not promote the technological level of low-level civilizations as much as strengthening grassroots education and giving birth to more scientists.
But for high-level civilizations, countless geniuses have been born over a long period of time. These geniuses have built the scientific building to the extreme, and there is no room for future generations to break through, unless a new building material can be discovered.
In this case, a new material is extremely precious.
The Creator civilization was stuck at this bottleneck before, but they were lucky to find a special material on the way to the Andromeda Galaxy, and achieved a technological explosion with it.
If they could obtain another special substance at this time, the Creator Civilization would probably make further progress on the original basis, and when they entered the dangerous Andromeda Galaxy, they would have a better chance of defeating the enemy.
Kuntasha sent a distress signal to the Creator Civilization.
Beep-beep-beep-
The symbols flashed frequently, but surprisingly, there was no response this time.
Kuntasha's heart skipped a beat.
