From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 291 Capitalists in the Universe
Although the Mayfly Civilization only knew about the temporary base of the Star Alliance, it was enough for Zhang Heng.

However, what Tesla said next successfully aroused Zhang Heng's interest again.

"The temporary station where our civilization stayed before was a very large trading ground hosted by a subordinate civilization of the Star Alliance."

"In the trading field, as long as you can pay enough, you can get any technology you want from the trading field..."

Tesla continued to introduce to Zhang Heng the information known to his own civilization.

In fact, there are temporary trading venues like the one established by the Star Alliance.

It is not uncommon in the vast space outside the metaverse.

Many civilizations or alliances with a bit of capability have their own resident trading venues.

It is precisely because there are so many temporary trading venues established by various civilizations and alliances that the low-level civilizations outside the metaverse have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Because, in a sense, these temporary trading venues provide a certain degree of protection for low-level civilizations.

As long as a low-level civilization enters a certain civilization or alliance's resident trading market, it can stay there for free for a period of time without making any purchases.

War and fighting are prohibited within thousands of astronomical units inside and outside the trading floor.

Any violation will be regarded as a provocation to the trading venue owner.

The trading floor owner also has the right to directly deal a devastating blow to the provocateur without warning.

Since these trading venue owners dare to establish trading venues, they are certainly not afraid of trouble, and the strength of their civilization and the alliance behind them is not weak.

At least, it has never been heard that any civilization has dared to cause trouble in the trading field under the Star Alliance.

This kind of rule exists in every trading venue, and low-level civilizations naturally would not leave such a safe place and run around in the universe.

As a result, all the low-level civilizations basically crowded into various trading venues.

After the free time is used up, these low-level civilizations will either choose to leave and find another trading venue to use up the free time.

Or, you can choose to continue staying in a trading field and renew the duration of your civilization by working for the trading field.

Alternatively, they could use the core technology of their own civilization to exchange for an electronic currency outside the metaverse, and then use this currency to exchange for the duration of protection.

Of course, this electronic currency can also be used for other consumption in the trading market.

For example, buying some technology from a higher level civilization...

However, this electronic currency cannot be used in other trading venues.

After all, money also has credit.

The currency of a civilization or alliance only has sufficient credit within its own trading venues.

When it comes to the trading venues of other civilizations and alliances, it will definitely no longer be recognized.

Moreover, if all currencies are universal, it is likely that some civilizations and alliance currencies will depreciate, while others will become more and more valuable.

Just like the US dollar and the Beijing dollar, they are completely two extremes.

Furthermore, some relatively weak civilizations and alliances do not want their economic lifelines to be controlled by powerful civilizations and alliances.

We have reached interstellar civilization, who doesn’t understand economic warfare?

Of course, it is impossible to allow the currencies of other civilizations and alliances to continue to be used in one's own trading field, so as not to cause turmoil to one's own economy.

If trading venues want to trade with each other, at most they will only do so in the form of barter.

After Tesla finished introducing the general information of the trading venue, Zhang Heng was a little stunned for a moment!
By the way, in his previous pastoral blueprint, he had also thought about establishing some such trading venues in the known universe of Super God.

Unfortunately, his schedule has always been very tight, and he really can't spare more time to do this.

Based on his own purpose of wanting to establish a trading venue, it is not difficult to guess the specific purpose of those guys outside the Metaverse in building a trading venue.

It's nothing more than wanting to suck the blood of every civilization, just like him.

Moreover, sucking blood in this way is much more efficient than using violent means.

Instead of resisting, the lower-level civilizations will take the initiative to come to us.

While providing certain protection to low-level civilizations, they can also obtain some higher-level technologies in the trading field and thus make progress.

No low-level civilization could resist such temptation.

After all, technology is not an object that disappears once it is traded.

Technology cannot give birth to offspring on its own.

Use the core technology of your own civilization to exchange for some technology that your civilization does not have.

In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to having one more technology for nothing?

Why not gain benefits without any losses?

Moreover, in the eyes of low-level civilizations, those who can establish trading venues are civilizations that are much more powerful than them.

The mentality of admiring the strong is also common in all low-level civilizations.

They feel that their so-called core technology may be just that for advanced civilizations and there is nothing worth cherishing.

Therefore, when they trade the core technology of their civilization, they not only do not feel bad, but feel that they have made a profit.

Objectively speaking, it can be said that they are profitable.

After all, what their so-called core technology can achieve, advanced civilizations will definitely have more efficient alternative technologies than them.

However, from the perspective of the values ​​of advanced civilization, you are not at a loss.

Having reached their level, the so-called value is only progress.

Obtaining more technological inspiration is one of the ways for them to achieve progress.

As mentioned before, all actions of advanced civilizations revolve around the central idea of ​​"progress".

Therefore, it is not right to say that they only know how to suck blood. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

After briefly analyzing the significance of the existence of those trading venues, Zhang Heng also felt a little emotional!

It turned out that no matter how fantastic his ideas were before, they had already been implemented by various advanced civilizations.

Just like the idea of ​​building a trading venue, he was still in the conceptual stage, but others had already perfected the business model!
"By the way, does the civilization across from you have a deep hatred with you?"

After learning the information he wanted to know first, Zhang Heng asked again.

Without his intervention, the Mayfly civilization would have continued to fight with the opposing civilization, and both sides would have ended up suffering losses.

"They are called the Golden Armor Civilization, and they are a despicable civilization..."

When Tesla heard Zhang Heng ask this, he immediately became angry.

At the same time, he also gave Zhang Heng a brief introduction to the "Golden Armor Civilization".

Just like the name of their civilization, they are a kind of beetle-like creatures.

The origin of the word "Jinjia" is also because they have a layer of yellow metal armor on their backs. The yellow metal on their armor is also very rich in gold, with a purity of up to 70%.

Moreover, they are long-lived creatures, which is the exact opposite of the mayfly civilization.

In the history of the Golden Armor Civilization, even in the shortest era, each individual could live for at least a few hundred years.

The Mayfly Civilization also first encountered the Golden Armor Civilization at the temporary trading site of the Star Alliance.

When the Mayfly Civilization first arrived at the Star Alliance Trading Market, they originally wanted to use the trading market to exchange for the lifespan-enhancing technology they needed.

But unfortunately, the lifespan-enhancing technology in the trading market is very expensive for the Mayfly civilization.

Even if the entire Mayfly civilization worked in the trading market for their entire lives, or even sold everything in their civilization, it would still not be enough to exchange for it.

Because the Star Alliance directly took out the consciousness uploading technology...

Technologies like consciousness uploading, which can help conscious beings achieve immortality independently, are unimaginably expensive!

As for lower-level technologies for increasing lifespan, they are also available in the Star Alliance's trading market.

However, not every type of biotechnology is applicable to all living things.

The Mayfly civilization is so unlucky that the Star Alliance trading market cannot find any low-level technology to enhance lifespan that is suitable for the Mayfly civilization.

The Star Alliance had no choice but to use the cutting-edge technology of mind uploading, as it could not damage its reputation.

At this time, the Jinjia civilization heard from somewhere that they wanted technology to improve their lifespan, so they took the initiative to find them.

The Golden Armor Civilization claims that it has the technology to increase lifespan. Although it is not as good as that in the Star Alliance trading market, it can allow the Mayfly Civilization to have a lifespan of at least hundreds of years like the Golden Armor Civilization.

Now, the mayfly civilization was moved.

After all, the Jinjia civilization itself is a long-lived species, so it is not surprising that they have the technology to increase their lifespan.

Since the Mayfly Civilization was in urgent need of improving its longevity technology, it did not suspect anything and readily agreed to start trade and cooperation negotiations with the Golden Armor Civilization.

The Jinjia Civilization first proposed that the Mayfly Civilization provide the core information technology it had mastered, that is, the technology of how to communicate without delay in space.

Moreover, after providing the technology, Mayfly also has to provide free technical guidance and help the Jinjia civilization complete the early construction.

Secondly, it was proposed that the mayfly civilization should provide the "genetic" technology it had mastered.

This so-called "genetic" technology is the real core technology of mayfly civilization.

At the same time, it is also the key technology that enables the mayfly civilization to develop to such a high level despite the generally short lifespan of individuals.

With the genetic technology of the mayfly civilization, offspring can not only perfectly inherit the genes of their mother and father, but also perfectly inherit the key knowledge and memory of their mother and father.

This is a bit scary!

Although each of them cannot live more than ten years, each new individual can directly possess thousands or even millions of years of accumulated knowledge.

There is no need for any prior learning and they can perfectly replace their parents' original positions without causing any gap in civilization.

In a sense, isn't this a kind of innate knowledge?

Not only will the new individuals not cause a knowledge gap in civilization, but they can also give birth to offspring that are better than themselves through learning. Even if they only learn a little in ten years, they can still give birth to offspring that are better than themselves.

Each generation will only be better than the previous one. If this continues for a long time, won't we be able to make eternal progress?

At least, that's what the Jinjia civilization thought.

They are very jealous of this technology.

As for the fact that the mayfly civilization possessed this technology, no one knows where they learned it from.

The Mayfly Civilization only revealed to the Star Alliance Trading Center that its civilization possessed this genetic technology.

However, the Star Alliance Trading Center believes that this technology is not sufficient to be exchanged for consciousness uploading technology.

However, the Mayfly civilization was unwilling to exchange this genetic technology for other technologies, so this genetic technology was not traded.

There are many twists and turns in it, so you need to be patient and savor it.

The Mayfly Civilization at the time did not think so much about it. They were also overwhelmed by the joy of being able to obtain technology from the Golden Armor Civilization that would allow them to live for hundreds of years.

If you are not a short-lived species, you simply cannot understand their obsession with longevity.

Therefore, the Mayfly Civilization only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to all the requests made by the Golden Armor Civilization.

Then, they left the Star Alliance trading market together with the Golden Armor Civilization and came to the area where they are now.

It took thousands of years to sail, and thousands more to help build the complete premise of Jinjia.

It seems that we are about to obtain the technology to increase our lifespan.

The Mayfly Civilization asked the Golden Armor to hand over the technology to increase lifespan first, and then they would give the Golden Armor Civilization the final genetic technology.

After all, for more than ten thousand years, it is they, the mayflies, who have been paying the price.

However, the Jinjia civilization never paid a penny in this cooperative transaction from beginning to end.

However, the Golden Armor Civilization became more and more aggressive.

The Golden Armor Civilization was unwilling to hand over its longevity technology first, and continued to demand that the Mayfly Civilization give it the technology first.

Although the mayfly civilization was short-lived and no one knew how many generations it had gone through in over ten thousand years, they all had key memories of their ancestors.

It’s time to see the rewards of our ancestors’ hard work.

Of course they would not agree to such unreasonable demands.

They even began to suspect that the Golden Armor Civilization had been deceiving them.

The Golden Armor Civilization simply does not have the technology that can allow them to extend their lifespan.

However, even though the Mayfly Civilization had taken a tough stance, it still had no way of forcing the Golden Armor Civilization to give up its technology first.

Now, the mayfly civilization is not just a simple suspicion.

It is completely possible to conclude that the Golden Armor Civilization is deceiving them.

In a rage, the Mayfly Civilization immediately launched a war against the Golden Armor Civilization.

It is precisely because the two civilizations have coexisted for tens of thousands of years and have a close cooperative relationship that they have become so close.

The sudden outbreak of war also led to the scene of people being lined up and shot as Zhang Heng had seen before.

After listening to Tesla's story again about the despicable deeds of the Golden Armor Civilization, I felt that things were not that simple.

He was excited when he heard about the technology of genetic knowledge memory, which was perfect without any side effects.

Presumably, the trading floor of the Star Alliance is the same.

If you think so, then the Golden Armor Civilization was most likely instructed by that trading venue to defraud the Mayfly Civilization of its technology.
