Chapter 815 A successful species (two in one)
A base station for super-light communication is like a post office on the earth. Mails can only be sent to a designated post office first, and then transmitted to a more detailed place through the postman.
Therefore, the curvature spacecraft acts as a postman.
Immediately afterwards, the big tree in front of me sent a price list. According to the current distance, each unit of data sent will cost 180 Amoeba points. Rental a curvature spacecraft of the Amoeba faction must be priced according to the rental time. The starting point is 100 Amoeba points. Even if you fly close, you will still get 100 points.
The total of humans and hemispheres is only a little over a thousand, and they are still relatively short of money. Unless people are willing to sell some anti-gravity materials or important technologies to the Green Leaf Alliance in exchange for Amoeba points, people are not willing to do so.
"I hate that I am not going to use the money!"
Zhang Yuan sighed, flew over and discussed with the leader of the hemisphere civilization next to him for a while, trying to exchange the Amoeba points he had.
The two sides have been together for so long and no longer need a currency like Amoeba points to guarantee credit. It is enough to use alliance currencies during bilateral trade.
Hundreds of Ameba points are not a large amount of funds for the entire league, so after some bargaining, Zhang Yuan got it at a fair price.
"Among more than 1,000 Amoeba points, you can send more than 5 units of data in total, and hire a curvature spacecraft of the Amoeba faction. The data of 5 units is not much, your alliance can decide for a while."
"By the way, if your alliance is willing to sow our fruits and seeds onto a farther planet, the charges can be cheaper. Only the cost price is charged!"
After all, the main reason why these plants open up trading markets is to spread their own seeds.
"How to calculate the cost price?"
"If you put seeds on 20 planets in a suitable environment, you can send 2 units of data. How about it? You just need to deliver the seeds and don't have to do anything else. And please rest assured that everything will not destroy the local ecosystem, it's just some plants!"
"Are there 2 additional units of data? Let's... consider it again."
Comparing the complexity of technology that humans have, the complete curvature technology, it takes about 2.6 units to compress data to the limit.
This data volume is really quite large. From the original data of the initial neutron star collision, to various experiments, and to the subsequent improvements over hundreds of years, it has to be sent.
In other words, after the other party obtains this data, it can develop a curvature engine in just a few years and become a true level 4 civilization!
If a part is missing, it may take dozens or hundreds of years to improve it on its own.
As for other mixed technologies, such as subatomic materials and anti-gravity technology, there may be 10 units in Calais; subatomic light cannon technology, 1.6 units; brain transformation related is even more complicated. The data volume has reached 398 units. Even the simplest version will consume 92 units of data, which humans cannot afford to transmit at all.
"Do you really want to give away curvature technology?"
"We always have to understand what the other branches of humanity are living in. This time we leave, we may never have the chance to meet again... If they have been completely assimilated by the Alev civilization, or the land of descent is too powerful and there is no room for improvement, it will be meaningless for us to send the technology over."
“That’s true.”
"And, we have to discuss with the alliance behind us about what technology to send."
"Yes, we don't have these things on hand."
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of something and said to the big tree: "The less data you send, the less Amoeba points you need, is that right?"
The big tree replied: "Yes, but the minimum communication fee is 5 amoeba points, and you can only send a small amount of information."
"So that's the case. We send a very small amount of information first, and then hire a curvature ship of the Amoeba faction to find our former tribe and bring them to the information outpost. Is this OK? How many people can the curvature ship hired carry?"
The big tree replied: "It is no problem to bring ordinary life to the information outpost. The Amoeba faction's conventional curvature spacecraft has not much space, nor is it too high-end life-saving ecosystem. However, it is still more than enough to carry dozens of living organisms and spend ten years through hibernation..."
“If you have enough Amoeba points, you can also hire better spacecraft.”
As if you thought of something, all the leaves of the big tree suddenly shook: "By the way, if you are already an ideology of a level 5 civilization, you can personally go to that starry sky through consciousness upload. The premise is that your consciousness must be able to adapt to siliconization transformation, otherwise it will easily collapse directly and cause catastrophic consequences."
You can actually upload your consciousness and go to the distant star field in person!
This fact surprised everyone, but soon accepted this fact. Some of the functions that can be realized by level 5 civilizations, even superhumans, are confused for a while. It is purely normal for a more old civilization to realize these functions.
After a long time, diplomat Lao Yang couldn't help but say: "Is it safe to upload ultra-long-range consciousness?"
The big tree said: "This is already a very mature technology and there is basically no error. We will also have a deformity safety inspection before transmission."
In fact, I don’t know if this plant is safe. Anyway, that device was given by Amoeba civilization. Since the big bugs say it is safe, it’s all right to think it’s safe.
Immediately afterwards, a cylindrical robot was brought in by the small spacecraft.
The big tree said: "This is a common communication robot commonly used in the information outpost of the Amoeba faction. Your civilization can be brought back to see if your consciousness can be uploaded to this machine."
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and debugged for a while. He was actually an ordinary fourth-level civilized industrial robot with a relatively developed computer system and a conventional perception system and athletic ability. He was definitely incomparable to the silver-white robots who were specifically responsible for combat.
A person's self-awareness and important memory are about 1.9-2.6 units of data. Due to the modular thinking currently used by superhumans, those huge knowledge databases can be temporarily abandoned and then connected again after they come back. The data volume can be compressed a little further.
This suggestion made people think of a better way, first teleport a superhuman, rent a curvature spacecraft, and personally search for humans in the solar system.
In this way, you will definitely be able to investigate more information and then give them some technology according to the observed situation. Instead of giving them one piece of technology as before, just one piece of technology is done.
After completing this task, the super new human was uploaded and transmitted back through consciousness. Save as much as possible, and the amount of data transmission is still sufficient.
"The risk seems to be a little big." Foreign Minister Yang couldn't help but speak: "Every superhuman is an extremely precious wealth. Isn't it a bit risky to upload consciousness to such robots? It is not a silver-white robot and does not have too high resistance."
Zhang Yuan was very curious about this kind of travel. He hurriedly said: "Old Yang, for the current new human civilization, we will soon achieve self-transformation and sublimation of the ideological level. We will no longer be the original human civilization. The two sides will soon part ways."
"But we still hope that we can live a better life in the past."
"After we go here, we may never have any intersection, so just give them a last gift... This kind of gift is nothing to us."
Old Yang was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Actually, I support your idea."
In this way, the group boarded the Zeus-class spacecraft and returned to their home planet and discussed with the base behind for a while.
I spent a little more effort to study the ordinary robot and confirm that the superhuman self-awareness could indeed be uploaded to this robot...
After a while, it took about a week to decide on this plan and also selected representatives to go to the solar system.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to take on this task, but there was actually no better candidate than him. There were not many humans left since the Earth Age, and he was the only one who became superhumans.
Next, the group came to the Green Leaf Alliance again. After explaining their purpose, several small saplings that looked a bit like palm trees led Zhang Yuan and others to the super-light speed communication site.
For these plants, the smaller the individual, the stronger the exercise capacity. When the size is larger, they prefer to stay in place and bask in the sun.
Therefore, important occasions are taken care of by the saplings.
This super-light speed communication site is a bit like a large glass test tube several floors high, and Zhang Yuan is not unfamiliar with it. Because he used it a long time ago in the trading market of Huantai civilization.
"Our race has never had this big toy! Haha, if the self-awareness of normal species is uploaded to the robot, it will soon collapse. This respected guest, you may be the first guest to us using this consciousness uploader! There are very few level 5 civilizations that come to our trading market..."
"But don't worry, the probability of it making a mistake is very low! Because five thousand years ago, it was maintained by bugs from the Amoeba faction. In such a short time, it will definitely not be damaged."
"Five thousand years?" Zhang Yuan complained a little about the time concept of these plants.
"Yes, after all, we are all very long-lived lives, of course we cannot compare with the fifth-level civilization." This sapling kept talking when he saw a strange guest, like a chatterbox. At the same time, he frantically promoted the beautiful fruits he had produced, wanting Zhang Yuan to take them back to plant them. This is also the instinct of the plant.
Each plant can also choose its own grafting direction, that is, to cultivate more delicious fruits through grafting methods. This culture sounds a bit strange.
Taking advantage of this preparation time, Zhang Yuan started chatting with this guy.
"We were plants that could move in very ancient times. Our parent planet was a very arid planet and would not rain for a long time. If we did not migrate for a long time, even the plants would dry up and die, so we had evolved the ability to move."
"As for optical perception... you know, plants are inherently phototaxis and have the ability to detect optically. As long as this ability is refined a little more, it is equivalent to the optical perception of animals."
"Of course, there are even fewer producers who have evolved wisdom! Because this is a completely unnecessary function!"
The plant said proudly: "We have slowly developed a cultural phenomenon, which forms text by moving the leaves... Of course, the most important thing is to encounter more advanced civilizations, which can accelerate progress."
"As for the other two species, it's actually similar."
"So that's it." Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your answer, so your ideology is completely different from the ones that have evolved from normal consumers."
"It is true, we do not advocate the concept of survival competition."
At this moment, Shuniao said: "We think that sharing the fruits we bear with other species is the meaning of existence... If your civilization is willing to plant these seeds and cultivate them within the civilization, we are also very willing to support them."
"Of course the premise is that they cannot be slaughtered, destroyed, or tortured for no reason..."
This sapling began to swear to promote its tribe, including but not limited to "their fruits are delicious", "not allergic, have antioxidant properties, and long-term use can extend the lifespan of many species", "improve the environment" and so on...
All kinds of messy statements are simply a mess, and Zhang Yuan was even a little moved. It seems...it's really interesting to plant these plants on his own planet, at least it doesn't have much harm.
"Your civilization can also give seeds to the alien civilizations you encounter. The seeds have strong vitality. As long as there is air and sunshine, they can survive, overcome most harsh environments, and adapt to most microorganisms."
"Sir, we will plant the seeds when we go back... According to the agreement, at least 20 planets with suitable environments will be placed."
"That's really thank you." Xiaoshushou resumed politely.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel silent. In a sense, this Green Leaf Alliance was actually quite successful. Their philosophy, their behavior, and perhaps the large number of interstellar civilizations gathered on Dyson's Ball have these strange plants.
Chapter completed!
