Deep Space Wandering Fleet
Chapter 469 - 467: Gaia Faction

In fact, there wasn’t much to complain about. A powerful technology brought its own advantages, which were one of the driving forces behind people’s efforts and struggles.

After a while, cries of amazement rang out again, as Humans had discovered a Solar Orbital Accelerator near the Central Constant Star...

A sort of super scientific instrument they had envisioned!

This accelerator was about 30 million kilometers away from the Constant Star, appearing like a miniature Dyson Ring. So much so that at the time of its discovery, all physicists screamed in excitement.

Compared with the Solar System Ring Accelerator, Planet Fortresses seemed almost insignificant. Even though it looked just like a thin line, like a strand of hair, everyone who saw it knew the true technological substance of this device.

Given enough time, Humans would have no problem with Planet Fortresses, but the engineering difficulty of the Solar System Ring Accelerator was much greater. With current technology, Humans had no way to complete it independently.

"It’s possible... maybe AmiBa Points can buy experimental rights, right? What scientific results could the Solar System Ring Accelerator produce?"

"Let me check the transaction data... There it is!"

"Look over there, that astronomical telescope is as big as half a planet!"

The enthusiastic voices inside the spaceship grew louder. Indeed, according to the descriptions in the transaction data, all scientific instruments could be borrowed, provided that one paid enough AmiBa Points.

Without points, don’t even think about it!

Seeing the increasingly fervent atmosphere in the spaceship, Foreign Minister Chen Mu quickly spoke out: "Everyone, hold off on thinking about spending. We need to think about earning money first! Do you think they’re running a charity? Of course not! An equal exchange is required for everything!"

"Any expenditure of AmiBa Points requires the approval of the Scientific Council, after all, it’s a shared asset of all Humankind. It’s not possible to spend based on our personal preferences."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling the entire cabin. Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly. Watching these geniuses getting excited was quite interesting. To nurture the new generation, there were quite a few young people on the team, making up at least 50%.

At this moment, a small Flying Disc moved closer to Human’s transport ship, a Huantai Civilization docking officer was aboard the silver-white Flying Disc.

"Greetings, friends from afar, Humankind. Considering this is your first visit to the Huantai Civilization’s interstellar market, I, a Cocos-shaped Wart from the Huantai Civilization, will be bringing you firsthand information."

After receiving permission from the Human Foreign Minister, both mechanical arms successfully docked.

Then, a small box was transmitted from the Flying Disc, captured by the mechanical arm of the transport ship.

A bunch of workers immediately began studying this small box.

"This is the AmiBa Point Quantum Calculator. It can convert received electromagnetic wave signals into AmiBa Points. Please do not attempt to crack it rashly; we will not be responsible for compensating any points lost. If you wish to purchase another AmiBa Point Quantum Calculator, the price is 0.5 points each."

On the communication screen appeared a deep purple earthworm. How to put it, it wore a thin layer of gray space suit. In stature, it resembled a large earthworm with two small antennas on its head.

Anyway, from a human perspective, it wasn’t a particularly cute species; instead, it seemed a bit ferocious.

Of course, all the scientists present had been meticulously trained and certainly wouldn’t judge based on appearance. The universe is full of strange and peculiar creatures; it’s impossible for everything to evolve according to human aesthetics. Whether the other party is an amoeba, a cockroach, or a ladybug, as long as they maintained a friendly attitude, humans would reciprocate with courtesy.

This amoeba went on to say, "Your spaceship can choose a planet with suitable gravity for landing to experience our entertainment facilities and enjoy the culture of different civilizations. You can also communicate with other civilizations through electromagnetic waves in the vast expanse of space. Of course, the premise is that your civilization follows the interests of the interstellar market."

"You can even apply to interact with the great Level 6 Civilization, the Hicks Civilization... A high-level civilization that belongs to the Gaia Faction, they love to collect the history and artistic creations of various civilizations. As a newly promoted Third-level Civilization, please don’t miss this opportunity. This could be the best way for your civilization to earn a large number of points."

"Additionally... here is a price list for the next ten years, including information on various civilizations. Please register your civilization’s information here to facilitate consultation and exchange with other civilizations."

"If you have industrial or experimental needs, you can spend AmiBa Points in our market to purchase industrial capacity. You can also earn AmiBa Points by providing your civilization’s industrial capacity here. We need to leave after three thousand years, so we need to speed up the completion of certain industrial plans."

Industrial capacity was the basic unit of conversion here. Zhang Yuan glanced at the price list, did some rough calculations, and determined that the industrial consumption for building a spaceship like "Radiant Galaxy" was around 292.3 AmiBa Points, indicating the high purchasing power of these points.

Of course, 292.3 AmiBa Points wouldn’t buy another "Radiant Galaxy," because that’s merely the industrial value; it doesn’t include the value of the technology. Unless humans handed over the complete design blueprints of "Radiant Galaxy," only then could they purchase a brand-new Mother Ship with 292.3 AmiBa Points.

That, of course, was impossible!

The AmiBa Points were a minor issue, but all the information about the spaceship, including how the weapons were forged, how the engines were manufactured, all these were intangible assets with extremely high technological value; it would be too foolish to hand that over to someone else.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yuan said, "If we were to build a new Mother Ship, we might let other civilizations manufacture some of the less critical components, which wouldn’t be a problem. However, it’s still not quite cost-effective; our civilization isn’t at the point where we need to spend points purchasing industrial capacity."

The interstellar guide continued, "...Regarding the purchase of technological information, you can choose to trade with us or with other civilizations. Our platform will act as an intermediary, ensuring the authenticity and completeness of the related trade technology...

"We don’t prohibit private communication, but without going through the trading platform, we cannot guarantee the fairness or authenticity of the transaction. Please be aware of this, as we won’t deal with any disputes arising from private transactions."

"During this time, I will be with you throughout. If you have any needs, you can consult with me directly."

Zhang Yuan looked at the massive amount of information scrolling down the screen, thicker than an encyclopedia, when something suddenly occurred to him, "That box that was thrown to us, was there any discovery?"

A colleague responsible in this area nodded and said, "Are you referring to the AmiBa Point Quantum Calculator? It automatically recognizes whether the electromagnetic wave signals sent are AmiBa Points. The technology used inside should also be that... the simplest version... As for how Digital Life transmits through electromagnetic waves, we still have no clue...

"With our current technology, we can’t freely copy it, nor can we forge it."

That was, of course, to be expected.

At that moment, the Foreign Minister Chen Mu, who was standing at the forefront, coughed to signal everyone not to discuss this matter here. Even inside their own spaceship, it was important to remain cautious.

He said, "Everyone, our mission on this journey is not just to trade technological information. We need to listen and observe more, to better understand the ideology of other cosmic civilizations and their attitudes towards other interstellar civilizations."

"We are making first contact with the political systems between interstellar civilizations, and one cannot be too careful."
