Clear Dreams Fill the Ship and Weigh Upon the Starry River

During this lengthy exchange, humanity obtained the Gene Lock Technology it had hoped for, paying with the Mechanical Mastery technical data that the Dynamic Image Civilization had long coveted. The Orange Star Civilization acquired navigation technology from the mid-stage of a Level 4 Civilization, though humanity did not know what it had paid in return.

There was also fragmentary knowledge relating to numerous technologies, including Tachyon technology, Force Field Shields, antimatter manufacturing processes, and Gravity Bombs. Naturally, Human Civilization also provided the Dynamic Image Civilization with feedback in these technological fields, making it a fruitful friendly exchange.

The actual material trade was far more extensive and straightforward, consisting mainly of the purchase and sale of Biosphere Resources. Humanity acquired vast quantities of animals, plants, microorganisms, and even soil from the planet—who knew how many billions of tons of soil humanity had excavated.

Naturally, it paid with shiploads of Biosphere Resources from the Dog-Headed People Planet.

The reason the trade had been so pleasant was that the Biosphere Resources provided by humanity were simply too complete. They were enough for the Dynamic Image Civilization to construct a fully functioning small ecosystem, with plenty left over.

It could be said that humanity had truly paid a heavy price to obtain this planet's Biosphere Resources. It had taken samples of virtually every Biosphere Resource it had acquired from the Dog-Headed People Planet.

They were simply too complete. It would have been impossible for them to be so complete unless they had been brought from a home planet. They even believed that studying these organisms might reveal traces of humanity's life information.

Naturally, this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Besides that, humanity also
