Several inspectors who went out said: "...the hemisphere civilization that we are negotiating with is a relatively young third-level civilization."

"They are a civilization that is biased towards mechanical evolution. How should I put it, there seems to be no other biological organization except for a brain. Their home star is 189 light-years away, not far from here. They want to develop A planetary fortress of our own, if the price is right, we are willing to sell it to us."

"What about the results of the geological survey?"

"Very nice, pretty good, the only downside, it's not a round ball, it has some protruding corners."

Zhang Yuan looked at this photo. The overall appearance of the planet is indeed not a perfect sphere. The highest peak on the surface is 30,000 meters, and there are many such peaks... But this is good, there is a little problem, the price Can be cheaper.

The hemispheric civilization has been excavating on this planet for more than a thousand years, and all the huge underground spaces have been completed.

"If we really buy it, it will save us a lot of time. The price is 1,309 amoeba points... We want to erase this fraction, but the other party is unwilling, insisting that 9 is a lucky number. "

"What about the equivalent technology, do they need it?" People don't want to directly use the hard currency of amoeba points, and it would be nice if they could exchange things.

"Of course, they are still negotiating. They are eager to assist brain technology and improve their intelligence..."

"Auxiliary brain..." Zhang Yuan nodded meaningfully.

Anyway, no matter what, it can be regarded as good news in recent years.

As for the rest of the diplomacy, there are more obstacles. For the fourth-level technology that humans value, the other party's asking price is generally very high, but the third-level civilization is more negotiable. But the technology of the third-level civilization is basically not needed by human beings.

Unless human beings are willing to buy technology directly from the fifth-level Haman civilization from the trading market, but the cost of that is also very high.

"...it's difficult to integrate because the political sphere of influence has been demarcated here."

The leader, the diplomat Lao Yang, sighed and said: "How should I put it... because the trading market will be relocated soon, but this neutral Dyson sphere will not leave. It will still produce antimatter energy. A level of maintenance and providing a place to live.”

"Therefore, there will inevitably be a vacancy in power!"

He clenched his fist: "Whoever controls this Dyson sphere will be able to become the boss of this starry sky!"

Lin Xuanxuan's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Can the Dyson ball... also be controlled?"

Mr. Yang explained: "It is of course impossible to completely control the Dyson sphere. How can it be so easy to find the loopholes of artificial intelligence Omega? Maybe it is already a strong artificial intelligence! But it can be controlled from other angles..."

"First of all, the interior of the Dyson sphere can be lived freely, and mutual attacks are not allowed, otherwise it will be counterattacked by its own defense system."

"The residence needs to be allocated, who will allocate it? To maintain the Dyson sphere, which civilization maintains it is also a kind of power!"

"Is the boundary that cannot be attacked determined in this way? If I use an excavator to level the territory of another civilization, is that considered an attack?"

"These are powers!"

"Won't Omega care?"

"I don't care! Even if it is a strong intelligence, its thinking logic is still different from the logic of normal life. It may not have the so-called concepts of power, desire, survival, etc... But the fact is that it is difficult for us to understand such things .”

Lao Yang continued: "Moreover, there are a large number of meteorites and planets on the periphery of the Dyson sphere, which are equivalent to the supply area of ​​resources. Most of the spaceships of civilization also stay on the periphery. The security and order of the peripheral area are determined by the trading market. Although this trading market does not matter, it does not allow civilizations to attack each other in the peripheral area."

"Ten years later, once the trading market of the amoeba faction leaves? Civilizations attack each other, as long as they don't hit the Dyson ball, they won't fight back..."

"Of course, once you attack the Dyson sphere, you may have to eat the jump cannon and anti-matter missile launched by Omega."

"So under normal circumstances, there will not be too huge a full-scale melee. However, even so, it is enough to form different political forces to test and mediate with each other...Which civilization controls the outer space of the Dyson sphere, this civilization becomes a Dyson sphere. hidden master of

"This is also the main reason why the prices of military products have risen for thousands of years."

Zhang Yuan frowned, feeling that this kind of thing was too weird, as if humans in the earth age were fighting for territory.

A large number of level 4 civilizations, including level 3 civilizations, are here to compete for control of the Dyson sphere. It is simply...

What a big appetite!

He is a little sad again for the Tabby civilization that established the Dyson sphere. This well-meaning civilization has worked hard to build a Dyson sphere and wants to enlighten the entire galaxy. It never imagined that such a thing would happen in hundreds of thousands of years.

However, what a huge benefit it is to implicitly control this huge Dyson sphere!

This Dyson sphere is not only an antimatter production base, but also a research site for various giant experiments, and it is also a war weapon that can fight against the fifth-level civilization!

Zhang Yuan frowned: "How did these fourth-level civilizations control a third-level civilization? After all, they are also interstellar civilizations. Why would they listen to others?"

"We believe that most of the civilizations here have a tendency to become the civilization of the perishing... Specifically, the potential for further development is not great." Mr. Yang took a sip of the soup and patted his stomach contentedly.

Immediately afterwards, he broke the news, "From a race named 'Artush' that I have come into contact with, I can get a glimpse of the leopard..."

How to control a serious interstellar civilization?

There are many ways, the first is to provide them with standard technology and complete control from the technological system level.

After low-level civilizations use this set of technological standards, they often don't know why. If they want to move forward, they must continue to cooperate in all directions.

"...Just like the universal factory of the Gliese people, the foundation is not solid because of the rapid progress."

Zhang Yuan recalled the past and understood a little bit. He sighed: "With a lot of technology ready-made, who wouldn't use it! As a result, after the entire industrial system was changed, it was found that it could never be changed back. .”

The second is to create opposition!

For example, in a civilization, there are green-skinned subspecies and blue-skinned subspecies. Originally, these subspecies are just the product of genetic mutations. There is no reproductive isolation. Everyone is in harmony with each other, and I feel nothing.

However, in long-term exchanges, more advanced civilizations can bring this issue to the fore. They only need to subsidize the blue-colored subspecies for a long period of time, take a high look at them, and then despise and reject the green-skinned subspecies.

For a long time, there will naturally be split emotions within low-level civilizations.

Lao Yang said: "This is a very simple and very effective strategy."
