Black technology: starting with space jump machine

"Want to obtain technology beyond the level of civilization? Want to develop the technology tree comprehensively? Want to obtain more cosmic intelligence? Come on, as long as you are willing to pay the corresponding technology or materials in exchange, you will be able to get anything you want from here!"

"In the White Dwarf Market, everything is collected and sold! With the protection of super civilization creations, you will be guaranteed to get safety and fair trade."

"The White Dwarf Market is looking forward to your visit! The coordinates of this market are located at..."

The Silver Star is docked at the top of the market dock, from which you can overlook many various types of spacecrafts busy shuttling.

From the size, shape, quality and other information of these spacecrafts, Lu Yu can roughly infer the level of civilization to which these spacecrafts belong.

In the White Dwarf Market, most civilizations belong to the star-level civilization of about level 4 civilization, and most of their spacecrafts are only the size of the moon.

Now, next to the location where the Silver Star is docked, there is a spaceship that is twice the size of Jupiter. It has dozens of spaceships orbiting it, all of which are as large as blue stars and are filled with dense fortifications. There is no doubt that there are weapons of great power, which will deter all foreign forces that dare not abide by the rules.

This is the regular security force to maintain order in the white dwarf market, which belongs to the sub-civilization split from the ring clan.

In addition to the steel spaceship, there are many space bases on the orbit around this huge spaceship. Each of these bases has a diameter of dozens of kilometers. Around these bases, various spaceships are constantly taking off and landing, shuttling back and forth. Like the market below, it presents a busy and prosperous atmosphere.

The triangular spaceship has docked next to the huge spaceship, and it seems to be communicating something. And Lu Yu has the leisure time to explore this white dwarf market.

Because the requirements of various civilizations for the living environment are different, all transactions in the market are implemented without meeting.

That is, civilized creatures do not come forward, but use robots as agents for transactions. All goods delivery, transportation, inspection, etc. are completed by robots.

This is also easy to understand.

Otherwise, once the spacecraft leaves, if there is a slight error in the environmental parameter settings, the customer will die suddenly. Wouldn't it be the responsibility of the market?

Lu Yu is curious about who will give the value of the transaction?

In the past, when the consciousness life form alliance was in place, the pricing power was controlled by the advanced civilization, because they could use technology as an equivalent to anchor the value.

But in this market that seems to be established by a star-level civilization, there is no such confidence.

With this curiosity, Lu Yu asked No. 7 to start connecting to the market network, and soon a seven or eight-meter-long unmanned spacecraft came to the side of the Silver Star.

"Next, please submit the goods you want to exchange. The market host will evaluate the value of your goods and convert them into the common currency in the market - trading points. A list of goods will be sent to you later. If you need any of the goods on the list, you can ask us directly. We will tell you the price of the information and you can decide whether to buy it."

Well, you have the pricing power?

That's a lucrative business!

After all, the stones that can be seen everywhere on a certain planet are scarce minerals for other civilizations.

The market can get these stones at a low price and sell them to other civilizations at a high price.

The price is in the hands of the civilization that sets up the market, and the middlemen can pocket the profit.

Other civilizations are not stupid. The trading behavior in the universe must also follow the maximum profit. If a civilization wants to take all the bargains, it is impossible to expand the market operation.

[Data interface connection successful, database login successful]

[Goods list obtained successfully, data transmission in progress]

No. 7 downloaded a lot of information about goods from the public database of the market. With her, there is no need to worry that the market will mix any viruses in the massive database.

Since getting No. 7, Lu Yu no longer needs to worry about electronic warfare.

Otherwise, as an important part of space warfare, a large part of the battle crushing of high-level civilizations over low-level civilizations is reflected in electronic warfare.

There are very few ramming impacts like Lu Yu's that rely on armor.

Why were the Zerg so scared before? It was because they mistakenly thought that the Silver Star had technology that they could not understand at all, and they actually used such a primitive and direct method to deal with them, as if they really treated them as bugs.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to control the spacecraft by using electronic warfare?

After all, there is still insufficient knowledge.

"Are there any traps in the database?"

Although they came with the triangular spacecraft, it is common sense that this sub-civilization would not dare to have any bad intentions towards the Silver Star, but Lu Yu still asked in a direction.

"The database is accessed independently. The market sets up a special key for each civilization, and the information inside."

No. 7's professional explanation made Lu Yu nod his head, and he stopped worrying about these things and turned to examine the list of goods in front of him.

The first thing he saw was a list of specific technologies. On it, there were many technologies that Lu Yu had mastered, such as [Antimatter Theory], [Grand Unified Theory], etc., but there were more technologies that even Lu Yu did not master.

These technologies are very messy, covering all aspects, and some of them are even completely inexplicable, super engineering and technology that humans have previously guessed, such as "supernova superheavy element collection and calculation" or "superluminal communication technology".

In addition to these single technologies, there are also some that sell complete technology trees.

For example, [Guide to the Evolution of Mechanical Civilization] [Complete Analysis of Star-level Civilization Technology], which contains a large number of star-level technology packages.

Their capacity can no longer be measured by the data standards of Blue Star. Even if they are connected to the most advanced super quantum computer in human beings, it is likely to fill up its database in an instant.

Lu Yu is very interested in these technologies, but their prices are impressive at first glance.

[10 million trading points]

[7 million trading points]

[……..]

These technologies are too expensive.

This is also inevitable. Mastering the entire technology tree means that civilization is promoted to a star-level civilization. How many filters are equivalent to passing through?

With Lu Yu's help, humans have looked into the universe, but so far, they have only established a fulcrum in the field of stellar technology. It is unknown how long it will take to establish the foundation, let alone when a complete stellar technology tree can be established.

This commodity category includes not only technology, but also a large number of technological creations.

Warp spacecraft, antimatter bombs, etc. are still conventional commodities.

Advanced civilization creations such as space bubbles and space gates are also on the trading list, but such commodities can no longer be traded with trading points, and are often traded with certain technologies in a designated area.

When Lu Yu thought that he seemed to have nothing to exchange for trading points, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart temporarily, and began to browse resource commodities.

Resource commodities are much cheaper.

Rare earths are known as "vitamins of industry" and are indispensable additives in metal smelting. Rare earth elements are extremely important in related technical fields due to their unique magnetic, luminescent and catalytic properties. They have been widely used in mobile phones, televisions, LED bulbs, wind turbines and various catalytic reactions.

Especially in the Blue Star where high-strength new materials are emerging, the value of rare earths has skyrocketed several times.

But in the white dwarf market, the price of a hundred tons of rare earths is only worth a little value.

And the price of high-purity uranium ore is only slightly higher than rare earths.

All materials that can be directly obtained from the universe are not expensive in the market.

Lu Yu does not have much demand for resource commodities.

There is indeed no material in the living area. You only need to jump the Silver Star to the star system to mine it at will.

After taking a casual look at the resource commodities, Lu Yu classified it into another major category of commodities.

The commodities provided by the white dwarf market are divided into four major categories. In addition to technology and resources, there are also intelligence and biological categories.

Intelligence commodities are not so clearly marked. The market has developed a platform similar to a forum, where all the information that wants to be exchanged can be traded by the civilizations that come and go.

But most of them are also related to technology.

[How many major steps are needed to extend the grand unified theory to antimatter-related technology? 】

[Several key issues about the generation and storage of antimatter]

Looking at these discussions, it is more like browsing a scientific forum.

Each question has a reward for answering it. If the civilization with the answer thinks the price is right, it will naturally answer the question.

However, there are two questions that have been quickly pinned to the top, and the reward price is also ridiculously high.

[Seeking the phenomenon of large-scale evaporation of the main body of civilization]

[Seeking clues that the wreckage of advanced civilizations is disguised as a trap]

Don't even think about it, it is probably a bounty question issued by the triangular spacecraft.

But can the mainstream customers of this white dwarf market really provide such clues?

After all, if it is a tragedy like the Ring Clan, it means that the strength of the civilization has plummeted, and the remaining spacecraft of the star-level civilization will also hide somewhere to recover quickly.

Civilizations that have been able to leave the star system are no longer so easy to be annihilated.

Even if the Ring Clan only has the triangular spacecraft left, it can quickly restore the strength of the civilization by itself.

Perhaps it was considering this point that the civilization that set up the wreckage trap came up with the method of blocking technology.

But then again...

How bored are you to come up with such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself?

Lu Yu casually scanned the intelligence-related commodities and then swiped past them, focusing on the last category.

Biological commodities are all kinds of creatures, including ordinary creatures and even intelligent civilization creatures.

They mainly sell genes and thinking modules.

Originally, Lu Yu thought there would be individuals like [scientists], but then he thought that scientists, according to their knowledge and thinking logic, could contribute their civilization technology once they were sold.

Although it would not reach the level of the technology tree, it would also expose the thinking logic, culture and limitations of the entire civilization.

The result of evolution is likely to be the operation of sending human brains to the invading civilization in a famous science fiction novel, which allowed the invading civilization to experience a liberation and then triggered a technological explosion.

And if they all do this, then will the technology-related commodities in the market still be sold?

But the biological genes alone opened Lu Yu's eyes, especially when combined with the free intelligence retrieved from the No. 7 database.

A star-level civilization that began to decline, after losing hope of promotion, began a period of behavior that can be called civilized art.

They call themselves a seeding civilization. After inserting their own race genes into the genes of a certain living planet, the adjusted race can adapt to the environment of this living planet.

However, the seed-seeding civilization left no technology at all for the transformed races, allowing them to survive on the original life planet.

In fact, there is not much difference between these transformed races and the members of the seed-seeding civilization. They just become larger or smaller and have more organs to adapt to the environment.

However, the seed-seeding civilization did not leave any technology to them, allowing these transformed people who could be said to be of the same race to develop freely.

A planet.

Two planets.

……..

Even when the civilization declined and the spacecraft could no longer be repaired, the seed-seeking civilization spread the modified race containing its own genes across the living planet with a radius of 100,000 light-years.

When the Seed Civilization sold the genes they collected in the white dwarf market in exchange for the cost of repairing the spacecraft, they also published their stories for free in the information product column.

"We have failed, and civilization has embarked on a technological path that we cannot break through."

"But, we leave the fire."

"They may be submerged in the universe just like us, but at least they still have hope compared to us who are about to perish."

This is similar to the special method of civilization cultivation, and may be the only trace of this seeding civilization in the universe.

This civilization has embarked on a different path from conventional civilization. It uses genetic engineering as the main technology, and its development path is very similar to the Zerg in science fiction works.

There are countless development paths for science and technology, each with unlimited possibilities. No one can deny that the path of genetic technology is wrong. Maybe in some corner of the universe there is a race that can advance to a higher civilization through this.

In human cognition, the development of civilization follows certain laws. For example, the development of computers follows the process from electronic computing to quantum computers. In this process, every time you upgrade to a level, the computer's computing power will be greatly improved.

Civilization has gained a lot of benefits from such progress, so it is believed that this is the only way for civilization to develop.

But perhaps a race that has been genetically modified can have its own brain reach the level of a super quantum computer. Wouldn’t it also have an irreplaceable role in promoting civilization?

As long as civilization can continue to develop, perhaps the technological path chosen will no longer matter.

Lu Yu silently put down the list of genetic products and looked at the blue flowers falling in the living area.

In fact, these blue-flowered trees that have decorated our living areas for many years are themselves creations reproduced through genetic engineering.

Genetic technology will have too many constraints when it comes to the members of civilization themselves, but there is no such obstacle when it comes to other organisms or plants.

If the method of sowing civilization to continue civilization is really successful, then are the newly rising civilizations considered new sowing civilizations, or are they just technology and hard work like these blue flower trees?

Lu Yu couldn't tell the difference, and neither could other civilizations.

Only those transformed races that have been entrusted with hope come here and see this story, and it is up to them to comment on the civilization of the sowers who made all this.
