Breaking Out in a Cold Sweat
"Ha~~~ They actually want the blueprints for the Lyra warship? What are they thinking? How could we possibly sell them the Lyra blueprints!" A business elite couldn't help but laugh as soon as he saw the Nair People's demands.
"I think they probably know this is impossible. The purpose of writing it down is probably to find out the combat capabilities of our Lyra in the later negotiations." The military expert next to him expressed a different opinion.
The business expert nodded. "That makes sense, but they should have seen the performance specifications of No. 1 Alloy Material on our list."
"Yes, once they see Alloy No. 1, they should understand," the military expert responded.
At this moment, an expert on the other side of the conference table couldn't help but say, "Uh... they actually want the entire Technology Tree data of Level 2 Civilization. And that's it? What are these Nair People thinking? Don't they have any ambition at all?!"
Oh, finally found a reliable one. They want biological gene samples and Gene Map from our home planet, but the price is too low.
Yue Yuan answered him, "No, you're wrong. The Nair People aren't without ambition. The real reason is probably that they've never really come into contact with other civilizations and don't know much about us. Therefore, they most likely don't know what technology we possess, which is why they wrote it so vaguely. And for this reason, they have no idea how important Biosphere Resources are in the universe; otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a mistake."
"The Chief of Staff is right; it seems that's true."
"That makes things much easier. This time, they won't be able to resist the bait!"
After discussing the matter for a while with their microphones muted, the group reached a consensus and then turned their microphones back on to wait for the Nair People.
Compared to the humans, things were much more lively on the Nair People's side. Although both sides tacitly turned off their microphones to discuss the matter, the video was still on, so the humans could see what was happening there.
Just then, I saw a group of Nair People on the screen waving their pincers and spinning around. Just by looking at them, I knew that the list of humans had caused a great sensation over there.
Perhaps the list compiled by the humans was too long, because after the humans turned on their microphones, it took a full twenty minutes before the Nair People finished their internal discussion.
To the humans' surprise, as soon as the Nair People spoke again, their Grand Governor preemptively declared, "Your Excellency, Chief Commander of Human Civilization, if I may be so bold, your list is simply not in accordance with the conventions of inter-civilizational exchange. Your so-called general equivalent may seem feasible, but it is not as good as ours! You should know that the general equivalent we have used in previous exchanges with other civilizations has been 'Energy Units,' and many of the items you have listed are priced far too exorbitantly. You are actually trying to fool us with such outrageous prices!"
"This is utterly outrageous! Do you really think we haven't traded with other civilizations? Or are you trying to extort us because you think your ships and cannons are superior? If that's what you're thinking, you'll be in for a world of hurt. Do you really think we only have these seventy-odd Lake-Class Warship?"
"Uh..." Yue Yuan was taken aback. These words, which suddenly became so aggressive, caught him off guard. Seeing this, one of the Think Tank members leaned over and whispered, "Commander Yue, perhaps they saw something on our list."
"Oh," Yue Yuan suddenly understood.
They must have seen the various performance indicators of the No. 1 Metal material listed on the list. Indeed, as Yue Yuan had predicted, during Guan Mai's individual discussions, the various technologies, biological sample Gene Map, and other catalogs written by other humans on the list did not surprise the Nair People much; at most, they only took a liking to some of the technologies.
But after seeing the performance description of Alloy No. 1 on the list, the group of Nair People were immediately shocked.
With a melting point as high as 150 million degrees Celsius, it also has extremely strong impact resistance, and its toughness, corrosion resistance, and other parameters are all superior to all the alloys that the Nair Civilization currently possesses.
Upon seeing such an excellent alloy material, countless Nair People's eyes burned with desire, saying they were determined to obtain it and would spare no expense, even if it meant starting a war, to acquire the manufacturing technology of this alloy.
But when their Grand Governor summoned a materials science expert to analyze the situation, the Nair People's meeting room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was sweating profusely. Oh, actually, the Nair People weren't sweating at all; it was just that a group of Nair People were involuntarily trembling their claws.
At that moment, they instantly understood why humans could build the Lyra so large, and also why human Lake-Class Warship only had one super-large caliber main gun.
All of this is due to this alloy material.
At that very moment, everyone, including the fleet Commander who had previously claimed that his single warship could take on three human warships and who had plotted to destroy the human fleet and seize human technology, was completely dumbfounded.
Because their top materials scientists and weapons experts told him that if the properties of Alloy No. 1 listed on the human inventory were truly as described, then with the current triple-mounted main guns, let alone one shot, even ten shots wouldn't be enough to penetrate the armor of a warship made of this alloy.
Oh, Positron Cannon can cause absolute destruction, but human warships obviously also have Magnetic Shield, so don't even think about your own warship taking on three human warships. You'd be lucky if one human warship didn't take on thirty of yours.
Suddenly, the Nair People, who had previously thought themselves incredibly powerful, felt that the warships they had looked down upon had become something to look up to, and the fleet Commander who were focused on fighting were instantly rendered helpless.
It was precisely because of this discovery that the Nair People debated for a long time about how to deal with humans next.
The warlike Nair People have disappeared, and many even advocate telling humanity directly that they have never encountered any Alien Civilization.
However, some argue that one should not lose face even if one loses the battle. Even if they know that they are the weaker party militarily, humanity only has one fleet, while their side Pot Lid Vastness Star, and fleets in other star systems.
Therefore, we must not lose our momentum.
The Grand Governor of the Nair People clearly agreed with this view, which is why he said those words after he started speaking.
However, as soon as the Grand Governor uttered these words, the other Nair People present became somewhat nervous and naturally anxious.
They were truly afraid that humanity would be angered by this, and that it would then wage war to destroy their three Lake-Class Warships, annihilate the Seventh Fleet stationed on the Pot Lid Vastness Star, plunder it, and then leave.
The Nair People also knew that there were fleets in other Star System, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If a real war broke out, they would definitely not be able to defeat their side.
It should be noted that Human Civilization still has 1,200 Lake-Class Warship. If their armor were all made of Alloy No. 1, then a battle would be absolutely one-sided.
