Chapter 485: Chapter 483 Selling New Civilization History

The spaceship zipped through the trading market, and it was estimated that it would take a month to reach the human headquarters. During his leisure time, Zhao Qingfeng often discussed with him the results harvested from the trading market these days.

"We sold our historical culture to the Hicks Civilization, earning almost 300 Amoeba Points in total, which is a considerable fortune that can buy quite a lot of things..."

"The scientists have been arguing nonstop about this, mainly leaning towards subatomic technology, gene editing, and human longevity. In the end, 300 points are simply not enough."

"Ah, the mysteries of Curvature Technology are hidden within the subatomic discipline, and there’s so much we’re still missing."

Curvature Technology!

Zhang Yuan’s eyes widened, and he uttered a "Wulu" sound from his throat.

The secrets of Curvature Technology, they are...

"Wulu"!!!

Zhao Qingfeng ignored the "Wulu" sound coming from his throat and jokingly said, "Didn’t you ask the Hicks Civilization for anything? It’s such a pity, the great Beggar didn’t beg for anything this time; that’s really not your style... Any bit of super technology would have been good!"

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes involuntarily, emitting a "Wulu" sound from his throat.

Beg?

Could it be... am I, Zhang Yuan, that kind of shameless person?

It’s not that I didn’t want to beg; there just...

wasn’t an opportunity to beg!

Zhang Yuan felt that in the face of that kind of super intelligence, all thoughts were probably transparent.

He had already obtained clues about Curvature Technology and had experienced the pattern of strong artificial intelligence, as well as various kinds of perceptions. These benefits were already enough for the entire civilization. Being too greedy would only earn the dislike of the others unreasonably.

After all, the others had said that a civilization that hasn’t experienced hardships does not have a great future, so the Abel Ring wouldn’t be as easy to negotiate with as those naïve artificial intelligences.

The Hicks Civilization had no obligation to support humans, just because they had learned about the New Civilization History, right? This logic was quite far-fetched, as it could be considered an equal academic exchange. Humanity had also learned a small part of predictive mathematics, which, from a certain angle, might have earned them billions of times more...

Old Zhao had already moved on to the next topic, "Oh... the Solar Orbital Accelerator is quite attractive to us, and after consulting with other civilizations, we got some experimental data for free. But we suspect that the energy level of the Solar Orbital Accelerator is still not enough to discover the secrets of Curvature Technology."

Zhang Yuan blinked, obtaining some data for free just by consulting?

That was indeed great, certainly better than nothing.

But on second thought, this was probably a tactic of other interstellar civilizations to draw in humanity. Such a bit of data couldn’t lead to significant results by itself; it would only pique human curiosity, inducing them to spend Amoeba Points.

That was indeed a clever calculation.

Zhao Qingfeng brought up some documents on the screen, "...The Solar System Ring Accelerator is too sophisticated, the experiments are extremely difficult, failure rates are high, and it can only be conducted once every few decades. Moreover, all civilizations are queuing up, discussing cooperation, how many scientists to send, and how many Amoeba Points to pay. All the haggling is just too much trouble. If we want to play with this big toy, we’d have to queue for hundreds of years."

"So the task of the Diplomacy Department is pretty heavy, and everyone is under a lot of pressure."

Zhang Yuan uttered a "Wulu" sound again.

Zhao Qingfeng laughed, "Are you also interested? You’re not an expert in this field; you definitely won’t get a turn. This report, you’re probably going to write for days and nights, right? Have you thought about how to write it?"

"By the way... the host of the trading market, the Huantai Civilization, is very curious about our New Civilization History. They want to pay money to buy this discipline. How many Amoeba Points do you think we could sell it for? Haha, actually, this discipline isn’t of much use to their species, but it wouldn’t be right not to extort a sum from them."

Not of much use? Zhang Yuan didn’t agree with that, at least, the New Civilization History was a subset of predictive mathematics.

He had seen for himself how powerful blustering predictive mathematics was.

If he were to witness it a second time, even with mental preparation, he would still be scared to death.

Would other Level 4 Civilizations want to understand this knowledge? Of course, they would, even if they could only glimpse bits and pieces.

A nearby Diplomat heard Zhao Qingfeng’s conversation and said with a laugh, "If we’re really going to sell it, we should sell it thoroughly. We can also sell it to other Level 4 Civilizations. The selling point is ’a discipline that intrigued the Hicks Civilization,’ let them offer a higher price, or exchange it for some Level 4 Civilizations’ technologies."

"But they definitely wouldn’t want to trade Curvature Technology for New Civilization History, as it is the core of Level 4 Civilizations! We can probably only get some basic Level 4 Civilizations’ technologies, like nano-robots, molecular dynamics, life extension technology; those are quite good."

"Especially life extension technology, the cultivation of Longevity Species, it’s not just about testing for Transcendents, but also about gradually increasing human lifespan in reality, to slowly adapt to the ideology of Longevity Species."

Zhang Yuan quite agreed with this point. He lay quietly on the bed, without emitting a "Wulu" sound.

Selling a New Civilization History discipline to different civilizations, whether it’s for technology or points, was a good deal. As they discussed the bright prospects of the future, nearly all the Awakened became excited, chattering away.

"Let me tell you about these contents, the key scientific research of Level 4 Civilizations, nano-robots, molecular dynamics, its core content is... functionalization of hydrocarbon groups."

"We haven’t made progress in this area for a long time. The results are roughly equivalent to what Mr. Chen Jingrun proved with ’1+2’, while functionalization of hydrocarbon groups is the ultimate ’1+1’. If we completely open up this pathway, humanity can truly declare that, at least for organic matter, we’re able to manipulate atoms."

"So imagine, what kind of results would this lead to? Synthetic drugs and such are child’s play; the key is, humans are also made of organic matter!"

"Our current main focus is bionics; we don’t have much content on gene editing, and a bit of content on gene editing has already caused a major stir in the academic world. If we could really handle any atomic-level reaction of various organic matter as we please, wouldn’t that turn everything upside down?"

"Of course, this is just the beginning. After all, the human body is complicated, we still have to consider reaction conditions, but just thinking about this prospect is enough to excite or terrify us. Perhaps in the future, everyone could live a thousand or two thousand years! We are not one of those inherently long-lived species."

"...Of course, compared to these, the most important thing for Level 4 Civilizations is Curvature Technology. Only with Curvature Technology does it mean true security, meaning the possession of the entire Milky Way!"

"We don’t need to rush for success. Everything, it’s impossible to accomplish within just one generation, especially Curvature Technology. Sigh, it’s too difficult."

Zhang Yuan’s forehead throbbed, and he let out a "Wulu" sound again...
