Hyperdistance Communication Core Component
What is Negative Mass? It's a characteristic of Negative Matter. Just as matter has positive mass, Negative Matter has Negative Mass. Unlike Negative Mass Positive Matter, negative matter is not attracted by Gravity Field like Antimatter or ordinary matter; instead, it is repelled.
If there really were an object with negative mass, then if you dropped it on Earth, it would be repelled by Gravity.
This represents a minuscule understanding of Negative Mass matter in the history of human scientific development, and Negative Mass implies Negative Energy. Beyond this, human science knows almost nothing.
Human beings know nothing about what Negative Mass matter is, how many kinds there are, what forms it exists in, how it transforms with Negative Energy, what physical laws it follows, whether it can be observed, and so on.
To date, humanity's understanding of Negative Mass matter has remained largely speculative. But now, the Interstellar Transaction Market has unveiled a Negative Mass Generator, which is truly astonishing.
"This must be the creation of Level 4 Civilization that they claimed to have made to the Dog-Headed People, but I wonder what it's for." A scientist looked at the lines of description but found no mention of the purpose of this Negative Mass Generator.
Yue Yuan, who was standing to the side, sensed the worry in his words. He also glanced through it but found no use for it.
At first, Yue Yuan was also afraid that this thing was some kind of weapon, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the possibility was unlikely.
First of all, although I have never seen the appearance of this Negative Mass Generator before, it does not look like a weapon at all. Instead, it looks like a device with some function. Moreover, judging from its appearance and structure, it does not seem to be complete, because Yue Yuan discovered some structural joints.
Therefore, he had reason to guess that the Negative Mass Generator was either a defective product or a core component of something.
If it's the latter, then thinking about the origin of this thing, Yue Yuan pictured Warp Engine in his mind, while glancing at Yu Nanfeng, who was deep in thought.
Yue Yuan thought that this Negative Mass Generator in the Interstellar Transaction Market must have been found by sheer luck, just like humans, perhaps picked up from somewhere or from the Advanced Civilization Ruins.
If that's the case, that would be great.
Next, the group discussed and speculated about the Negative Mass Generator, and after some internal deliberation, they sent a reply to the Interstellar Transaction Market.
"You're being unfair! Our Earth civilization has traveled light-years across galaxies to come here with sincerity, and you've sent us this vague thing claiming it's some kind of high-end product. Oh, it is indeed a creation of an advanced civilization, but I bet even you don't know what it is. We don't think this kind of creation, whose function is unclear, is worth the value of a Life Planet."
If your Interstellar Transaction Market doesn't offer anything of value, our Earth civilization believes this transaction is best avoided. Of course, our Earth civilization has an old saying, "Even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains." If a deal can't be made, we can still engage in other forms of exchange.
For example, we could establish a science and technology conference specifically for exchanging our experiences, development paths, and Characteristic Technology prospects at the level of Level 3 Civilization. Our Earth civilization greatly desires such exchanges and considers them extremely valuable.
Humans then went on and on, basically saying that the Interstellar Transaction Market was too poor and had nothing worthy of a Life Planet.
The Interstellar Transaction Market offered a different perspective on humanity's response.
Not long after, another message representing the Interstellar Transaction Market was sent to humanity.
[That's not quite right. Kind Earth civilization, if you understood advanced civilizations, you wouldn't say that. Do you know why an advanced civilization can be called an advanced civilization?]
Because it's not real-time communication, the questions in the Interstellar Transaction Market don't actually require human answers before continuing; they simply pose a question and then answer it themselves.
We can tell you frankly that advanced civilizations possess the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. Once the speed of travel exceeds the speed of light, it will bring about all sorts of problems, the most obvious of which is communication.
Without communication capabilities exceeding their own speed, communication would become meaningless once a civilization becomes advanced, as it would be more efficient to simply send messages by spaceship. It seems your Earth civilization's dictionary includes the phrase: "Communication relies entirely on running."
"Communication relies entirely on running around? That's more like 'communication relies entirely on shouting'!" Upon seeing this, everyone mentally scoffed at the rhetoric of the Interstellar Transaction Market, and then continued reading.
That's neither realistic nor convenient. All civilizations know that the hallmark of Level 4 Civilization is the realization of the Grand Unified Theory and its application, but they often overlook another aspect: communication.
Level 4 Civilization must not only possess the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, but also the ability to Hyperdistance Communication to be considered an advanced civilization. These two capabilities are like the two legs of Level 4 Civilization; lacking either one disqualifies it from being a true Level 4 Civilization.
The Negative Mass Generator we're sending you is the core component of Hyperdistance Communication; it's a perfectly intact creation. To be honest, this is a special offer item that this trading market obtained from the Merchant Alliance.
To be honest, what we just sent you was only one percent of its parameters and specifications. You could say that once you obtain it, your Earth civilization will inevitably advance to Level 4 Civilization. The complete technical data will help you quickly master the method of manufacturing Hyperdistance Communication devices after reaching Level 4 Civilization.
As for why we put it up for sale, the reason is simple: we are a member of the Interstellar Transaction Market, and we have a Level 5 Civilization behind us. Therefore, the technological advancement path of our trading market is different from that of ordinary Cosmic Civilizations. We only need to have enough Contribution Points to exchange for everything from Level 4 Civilization within the Merchant Alliance. This is why we are looking for people to do trade with.
The Merchant Alliance needs many Life Planet for research, and Interstellar Transaction Market like ours are simply the Merchant Alliance's small-scale merchants.
After reading the reply from the Interstellar Transaction Market, the humans discussed it and then sent a reply.
"In that case, please send us all the information about Negative Mass Generator so that we can also understand their value."
Regarding humanity's request, the Interstellar Transaction Market only stated one sentence. "We can, but we need the scientific research data you possess on that planet—yes, the research data your Earth civilization has on that Life Planet."
