"You engineers have to take a vacation occasionally! You always work overtime like this, maybe when you can't bear it psychologically, you will rebel again!"

On this day, Zhang Yuan joked to the electronic screen.

The mobilization of the community is underway in an orderly manner, and he himself has learned some medical knowledge and knowledge about emergency repairs of spacecraft.

Even if the mothership is really blown up, some escape ships can still escape part of the population.

Anyway, this kind of thing is well prepared.

The person on the screen is Ye Kaifu. As the leader of the underground engineering team, this guy has worked much harder than Zhang Yuan, and he looks disheartened all day long.

"Rebellion? How is it possible? Everyone is very happy. The sooner it is completed, the happier everyone will be!" Ye Kaifu said with a smile: "This battle star must be kept! If we can't keep it, everyone will rebel."

"It makes sense..."

"I read the recent military interviews, and the content is very serious. What is the situation outside? Is it possible to fight? This general has been fighting with each other on TV, and he did not answer this question in the end."

"Haha, you want to know? This is a secret, so I won't reveal it!"

"I can't really beat it, can I?"

Zhang Yuan restrained his smile and looked at the gray-black, desolate battle star outside the window, together with more and more small guard-class military spaceships.

These are mostly troops in training.

He still doesn't know whether human beings can complete the curvature engine construction of this planetary fortress and escape from this area.

"It's not as good as strength on paper. We don't even have battle stars... However, strength on paper is not enough to fight a war. We also need to consider the casualty rate that we can bear."

"A civilization that can withstand a 5% casualty rate is very different from a civilization that can withstand 50%. Anyway, you heard what was said on the show."

"Okay, okay, I basically understand...you can go about your business and don't bother."

Ye Kaifu hung up the phone, but secretly clenched his fists, hoping to hold on for a while longer.

...

The not so peaceful days passed by in a hurry.

On this day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the new human civilization suddenly received a notification from the military: an alien spaceship was staying near the human air defense identification zone, requesting a diplomatic dialogue!

It's rare, really rare.

Since the strategy of "talking about it and scolding mothers" was adopted in the joint meeting, the new human civilization basically has no foreign exchanges.

All civilizations are far away from human beings, for fear of provoking this "hedgehog".

Regarding this request, the new human side naturally did not dare to neglect, and hastily dispatched a spaceship loaded with more than 50 diplomats to have a dialogue with it.

Near the air defense identification zone of new humans, there are a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and early warning aircraft. These unmanned aerial vehicles do not emit light, are in a semi-stationary and semi-stealth state, and are particularly inconspicuous in the dim starry sky.

But they are the main force of the first line of defense, as soon as an alien spaceship approaches, they will be able to identify...

After a day-long exchange, the ship's diplomats returned with important news.

"...It's the civilization that bought additional papers on color perception, called the Apollo civilization. They want to buy more technology about intelligence."

"However, we did not provide anything in this regard, and rejected their request..."

"At this juncture, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Sigh."

In normal times, this transaction request is normal and people are looking forward to it, but now it is a bit weird.

"Is that so... What on earth is this civilization thinking, coming here to communicate at this time?" Captain Feng asked, feeling a little unbelievable, "Could it be that they have encountered any problems? They urgently need technology in this area?"

The diplomat spoke again: "It may be because the papers we sold in the past are far from enough to meet their needs... After being rejected by us, they want to exchange related additional perception technologies."

"They want to meet our scientists and have a scientific and technological dialogue... They say that the papers are somewhat vague and ask for a series of explanations. The specific questions are in this form..."

"Is there something vague? No way..."

"Didn't the original transaction use the market of the amoeba faction as an intermediate platform?"

Zhang Yuan frowned and thought, what the hell is this Apollo civilization doing to conduct scientific research at this time?

However, since the thesis was written by himself, he patiently read the other party's problem description carefully. If you can answer it, then answer it, and send the other party away quickly.

In the end, he shook his head: "These questions are not in the scope of the extra color paper. If they are all answered, it will be another general direction. They can get all the extra perception! There are some things that we don't even understand. They are empty-handed white wolves!"

"Unless they pay more amoeba points, we can't solve part of it."

But this civilization, it is impossible not to know this, and it will definitely not be aimless, with a high probability of coming with a certain purpose.

So suspicious!

The captain, Ms. Feng, stood up and asked, "How do they set the price?"

"It hasn't been said yet, it is just asking for a scientist exchange."

"After the exchange, how to trade, use amoeba points to trade?"

"probably."

"Now there is no intermediate platform. Should we give them papers first, or should they give us amoeba points first? How can the two sides trust each other?"

These problems are hurdles that cannot be bypassed.

If the two parties have no way to trust each other, then they simply have no choice but to not trade. This is very simple truth.

Li Zhendong had a sudden thought: "Or, this Apollo civilization wants to win us over to join their forces?"

The diplomat Lao Yang replied: "I don't know...they didn't say this clearly, they just want to get the content of this aspect."

"We said directly, the new humans don't have this content! But they are still there."

A general patted the table: "Then reject them directly! Do you need to be so verbose?"

After a while, Captain Feng nodded: "Okay, then send an electromagnetic wave and tell them to leave quickly... the tone is a little more polite."

After sending this electromagnetic wave, the alien spaceship hovering near the air defense identification zone of the new human civilization did not stop, and left soon.

"I hope it's just that this civilization has suddenly lost its brain..."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan frowned, faintly feeling something was wrong.

As a result, a month later, this civilization actually came again, and they actually wanted to buy this planetary fortress that humans are developing!

And also gave a relatively "excellent" price: 1500 amoeba points!

This price does sound reasonable, because the price humans paid for this battle star did not cost so many amoeba points.

If you really sell it, you can make a little money for no reason.

However, humans have been developing it for a while, and don't want to sell it just to earn some amoeba points.

This planet is the capital for future development. It was sold for a small profit, but it was quite difficult to buy another one.
