Chapter 468: Getting Something for Nothing
There are more advanced technologies than the Blue and White Society. After first encountering the poor elements, they were even more shocked than the Blue and White Society.
They know very well how important such an element is to the field of materials. It is simply an epoch-making element.
With real objects in mind, they came up with several super-efficient alloys that could use this element based on theoretical analysis.
A physical piece was placed on the table, and scientists were eager to take it and study it.
Unexpectedly, the best metal next to Sister You flew over with a whir, wrapped the poor stone, and floated back with the poor stone in an inverted cone shape, like a sugar cone.
"Uh..." The scientists felt as if they had been poured cold water on them, remembering that this was something from aliens.
And it's not a bargain, it's a strategic resource in a poor economy. It's just for them to see.
"Can it be traded?" asked a Canadian chemist.
The atmosphere in everyone suddenly became tense. Why was this sentence put forward so directly?
Obviously, the chemist was confused by the poor elements. After the aliens used incomprehensible technologies and materials one after another, they finally found something they could understand: new elements, rare elements, and unprocessed elements. element.
This is raw material, so there is nothing I can’t understand, I just haven’t seen it.
As a basic resource, can it be traded?
In response to such a question, Sister You asked: "What do you want to trade with me?"
The Huaxia representative's eyes lit up. Could it really be a deal?
"Although the earth's resources are everywhere in the universe, you said that life is rare and our nature has a wide variety of species. Do you think it is valuable to you?"
After listening to the words of the Chinese representative, the advisory group held their breath and concentrated. Selling biological creatures may be the only option. I don't know if the other party wants it.
"Biology? What are you talking about? Before I met you, I had collected all the genes of living things." Sister You said in surprise.
"..." Representatives from various countries were sluggish, and the advisory group was in despair.
This is too overbearing. It turns out that during those days of silence, the aliens also quietly collected biological genes.
"Is this...could it be..." A scientist was extremely indignant and wanted to say, shouldn't this be done with their consent?
Sister You tilted her head and said: "Is there any problem? I allow you to develop the solar system as you like so that you can thrive. Do you still want to trade with me for things you can easily get?"
"Explore the solar system casually?"
Representatives from various countries were in an uproar and were stunned by this big gift package.
Has it turned out that we have obtained the mining rights to the entire solar system? When did this happen?
They were still making careful calculations, but they didn't expect that the aliens would cede the solar system to them with just one word!
Happiness comes too suddenly.
"No, no, hahaha... Don't get me wrong. The biological samples on the earth are our gifts to you. The genetic map is a testimony of our friendly exchanges with you. How can we use them to trade with you again?" Huaxia The representative said immediately.
Just take the genetic collection and all that! Just kidding, hurry up and secure the mining rights in the solar system.
The Chinese representative was the first to realize the alien's temperament, and soon everyone also realized the other party's 'kindness'.
Yes, this alien is actually very kind!
It is true that they misunderstood and forgot that the other party was just an individual, so they made the note too formal.
The aliens have said from the beginning that they are not qualified to establish formal diplomatic relations at all, so this contact is purely an alien deciding the fate of the earth based on his own personal preferences.
This alien is moral. He takes and eats the earth, but he keeps saying: You can develop it if you want, I don’t care.
At that time, the deal was actually already done, but to the aliens, it was not a deal that needed to be said, or even a deal at all.
It's just that you invited me to dinner today, and I will treat you once tomorrow. There is no need to explain it clearly.
If formal exchange of equal value is required, the earth will have nothing to exchange for.
But I am happy that money cannot buy it.
The other party suddenly ceded the solar system. It was just because the aliens had fun and gave some benefits. They discovered some novel creatures and gave them some benefits.
And for people on earth, how can this kind of benefit be compared with delicious food? Extremely important!
The most valuable thing about an intelligent creature is actually the dignity of being an intelligent creature. The other party has a strong sense of morality, so they will consciously "reciprocate".
"I understand! The key is that she likes it! To her, the galaxy is a wasteland. When she is happy, she will cut off as many galaxies as she wants!"
Representatives of the five permanent members exchanged glances, and the advisory group secretly stirred their brains.
Think about it! Quickly think about how to make the aliens happy.
"Do you usually have any entertainment activities?" asked the representative from China.
"Half the time, I can create a new world in the virtual world or experience a different life." Sister You said.
The representative of China hesitated slightly. This is difficult to deal with. Technologies such as virtual reality are available on Earth now, but they are still very immature.
There is no doubt that the virtual world of aliens must be extremely real and free, and you can experience it as long as you can imagine it.
Is there any way on earth to give the other party a different experience?
Sister You added: "However, the virtual world has corrupted our civilization. Now nearly half of our population has given up their real bodies and is permanently immersed in the Internet."
"Eh?" The advisory group was shocked. It turned out that this was a fallen civilization! Half of the population is permanently addicted to the Internet.
Sister You said: "It is illegal to give up reality now. I have to spend half of my time every day exploring the universe or doing something else."
"Oh? What else?" the representatives asked hurriedly.
"I can only cultivate my own interests, such as making some ancient machines and spaceships to cultivate my sentiments. After all, reality is not so beautiful..."
Everyone thought that this is not beautiful? The life of you civilized people is simply too good to be true!
But soon, the advisory group grasped a key point: making some ancient machines?
This means... rubbing model airplanes?
It's like some people are bored and go to make some ancient swords, matchlocks, flintlocks, etc....
"Oh? Can you tell me more about your hobbies?" asked the Chinese representative.
Sister You pointed to the corner of the wall. A few seconds later, with a bang, a small yacht appeared in the reception room.
Everyone was shocked, and scientists sighed that this jump technology was really convenient.
"This is the vehicle of the substitute. It was damaged by the waves caused by the landing of the probe at sea. I sent it to Sirius's home, and I used my personal ability to remember, disassemble, and repair it. Now I can make it with the simplest tools." Sister You said.
Everyone understood that this is a handicraft enthusiast, using non-automated tools to make machines.
Products of cutting-edge technology cannot be made, but some long-obsolete, antique-level things can still be made by one person.
This is a kind of fun.
"I have played all the vehicles before the jump technology, all the way to the inter-galactic spacecraft, several times. As for the earlier products, because of the loss of historical data caused by the war, I can't make them now. Although I can make something that feels similar, it's not." Sister You said regretfully.
"Huh? Early products, maybe our civilization is similar?" Representatives of various countries said.
Sister You shook her head and said: "It's different. The design concept is very different. If it is lost, it is lost. We don't even know what the early civilization is like now."
Everyone understands her regret. So far, there are many things recorded in ancient times on Earth that cannot be restored by technology.
Even if the same effect can be achieved with higher technology, it is definitely not the ancient one.
When the Black Ball Civilization entered space, it experienced a war that swept the entire tribe. Later, after colonizing more than a dozen planets, the war almost destroyed all the planets.
What was the early civilization like? Only a few words were left. The later Black Ball Civilization was almost a new generation, and it could even be said to be two civilizations from the former planetary civilization.
Just like the Xia Dynasty and the modern times, they cannot understand each other and there is a huge gap. When historical data is lost, it is impossible to restore the production and life of the Xia Dynasty.
Not to mention the Black Ball Civilization, which spans a history of civilization of 100,000 years.
"But the things of our civilization are actually equally old in your eyes, aren't they? In terms of the fun of experience alone, there is actually no difference. What is missing is the historical value." The Chinese representative tried his best to promote. There was no way. The aliens were only interested in this. Now they just played all the antiques that could be played. The more ancient things were lost and could not be played. Then they had to promote the products of the earth quickly, right?
From a technical perspective, the industrial products of the Earth are actually equivalent to the early planetary era of the Black Ball Civilization.
They are all playing with model aircraft. There is actually not much difference between playing with ancient model aircraft of one's own civilization and playing with model aircraft of low-end unfamiliar civilizations. It just lacks a sense of accomplishment in restoring one's own history.
"Emmmm..." Sister You was silent.
"Try it! You will definitely experience a different kind of fun! Maybe you can make up for some regrets." Representatives from various countries said.
Sister You reluctantly said: "Okay, let's try it."
