List
Without further ado, let's get started.
Once the general equivalent and currency were determined, economic experts among humanity began to delve into the construction of the transaction system between the two parties.
Without a system to measure transactions, the most direct way for two civilizations to trade is through barter, which is primitive but also effective.
However, that would certainly have many drawbacks, so both sides wanted to find another more convenient and accurate method.
For example, right now, humans feel that using '1 ton of Cold Nuclear Fusion fuel' as a unit of currency for transactions between two parties is quite appropriate.
A general equivalent is a general equivalent, and money is money; they are different concepts.
As is generally known, according to the laws of commodity development, the general equivalent should be a special commodity that is separated from the commodity world and serves as the unified expression of the value of all other commodities.
Therefore, as long as both parties acknowledge this, the artificially defined general equivalent of '1 ton of Cold Nuclear Fusion fuel' can be used as currency and can also be used to measure the value of other goods.
Once these values are quantified, they become digital currencies, which are the 'Transaction Points' in the trading system that economists are currently building.
After the economists who were involved in developing the transaction system for both parties had gone out to work, Yue Yuan discussed the next steps with the remaining experts.
Similarly, regarding the list, once the general equivalent has been determined, the next step is to discuss what can be traded and what humanity wants from the Nair Civilization.
Before discussing this matter, experts and scholars on the human side took stock of all the scientific theories, technologies, and processes that humanity currently possesses, in order to let experts from other disciplines know what they have in their pockets.
With introductions from experts and scholars in various fields, the economists participating in the discussion soon gained a general understanding of the current state of humanity.
Firstly, in terms of physical principles, this belongs to scientific theory and is generally not offered for exchange, so humans do not consider it here.
It mainly covers major technologies and their derivative technologies, as well as the manufacturing processes and materials of various creations.
The key technologies that humanity has mastered include Neutrino Detection, Neutrino Communication, heavy nuclei, Cold Nuclear Fusion technology, Magnetic Shield technology, Alloy No. 1, Alloy No. 2, and the manufacturing process of ultra-large Gamma Ray Beam, i. e., traditional laser Energy Weapon, as well as the manufacturing processes of Super Large Electromagnetic Railgun and ultra-large Positron Cannon.
In addition, there are technologies used in Tactical Armor such as Human Microcurrent Induction Technology, brainwave sensing technology, Mechanical Specialization, and Room-Temperature Superconductivity. In the computer field, there are General-purpose Quantum Computer, Quantum Secure Communication, and a complete set of Electronic Computer technologies. In the biological field, there are Body Enhancement Technology, three versions of Life Elixir, Acceleration Buffer Fluid, and various biological samples obtained from the Wolf Levorotatory DNA Ecosystem and biological samples from the Dog-Headed People Planet.
Yes, there's also the Warp Engine salvaged from the alien spaceship that crashed on Callisto, as well as manufacturing processes for some large structures, but humans don't intend to list these things.
After gaining a general understanding, one of the experts spoke up, "Chief, although we possess many technologies and creations, as well as many technological branches, things like the No. 2 Alloy Material manufacturing technology and Body Enhancement Technology are not suitable to be included. We should also be cautious about weapons."
"That makes sense. We really shouldn't give away our best things." Yue Yuan nodded, acknowledging the statement.
After some discussion, most people felt that the secondary version could be added to the list. After all, in addition to paying for supplies, humans also wanted the Nair People's Space Elevator construction technology, as well as some technologies that the Nair Civilization might have on their list that humans did not possess.
Therefore, technologies such as Alloy No. 1 manufacturing technology, Acceleration Buffer Fluid, and the three versions of the Life Elixir are all available. Of course, regarding the Life Elixir, humanity does not intend to directly include the manufacturing technology on the list, but rather the actual potion itself.
Label the three medicines with different prices and their effects.
As for whether it applies to the Nair People, that's not a question for humans to consider. In short, put it on the shelf and sell it in bulk, take it or leave it.
This was done to prevent the other side from purchasing a small quantity of the drug for research. Of course, humans weren't really worried about the other side's ability to manufacture it. After all, the success of human Life Elixir is basically based on research within a biosphere; to think they could create one with just a few doses is pure wishful thinking.
"Chief, perhaps we could add a list of cosmic information, such as where celestial bodies exist, which regions are Dangerous Star Region, and which parts of the Milky Way Galaxy are ruled by which civilizations," a scholar suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so people present immediately understood.
Dangerous Star Region are one thing, but as everyone knows, it's impossible for humanity to know which civilization occupies which part of the sky, let alone the situation of celestial bodies in distant stars.
Therefore, once this opinion is expressed, everyone knows that it is used to deceive the Nair Civilization.
Although the Nair Civilization is also Level 2 Civilization, humanity already knows that they are a civilization that gradually expands outwards by occupying Star System, based on their home planet. Such a civilization would certainly not understand distant cosmic forces. Since humanity also claims to be a Cosmic Exploration Fleet, why not use this as a gimmick to swindle them out of money?
"That makes sense. In that case, the Nair Civilization will be absolutely convinced that we are an exploration fleet. Hmm, we might as well set the price of this information higher. After all, the higher the value of this stuff, the more Gravity it will be. Hehe, the outside world, the cosmic background, how Gravity are." An economics expert chuckled, as if he could already see humanity using this free Transaction Points to exchange for the Nair People's Space Elevator technology.
"I think that works too. The Nair People expand from their home planet, right? We can make up a map of their Milky Way Galaxy power distribution for them. We can say that we encountered an Interstellar Market run by an advanced civilization during a certain voyage and bought the information from there at a high price. We won't have to worry about them not being fooled."
The Conference Room suddenly became lively as soon as the topic of conversation turned to something so exciting.
"Absolutely, absolutely. But didn't the Nair People say they've encountered other civilizations? If they've already learned about the cosmic background from other civilizations, then what about us?"
"It doesn't matter. If they don't want it, we won't lose anything. If they find that the information they bought is different from what they got from other civilizations, that's fine too. Just insist that it was bought from the advanced civilization's trading market. We're not forcing them to buy it, are we?"
"Yes, that's right, let's do it that way!"
"We know about those Level Six Civilization, the Harvesters, the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance, the Perseus Commonwealth, and the Silicon-Based Collective. The information divides their territories into various locations in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Nair People would definitely believe it if they saw it!"
"Yes, and the Awakeners."
"Let's forget about the Awakeners; they've been kind to us, so it's best not to make fun of them."
"That's right, I didn't think it through!"
