Chapter 742 Hiding Clumsy
In the list given to humans by the dynamic picture civilization, gene lock is a large category of technology. There are various categories of technology such as anti-submission, submission, aesthetics, anti-memetic assimilation, etc. They are like the various specific functional slots of gene lock technology, and are sold separately at different prices by the dynamic picture civilization.

Among these gene lock technologies, humans have turned their attention to anti-subjugation. There is a general explanation behind this technology, which is a gene lock technology that prevents one's own race from being enslaved by other races at the genetic level.

In other words, a civilization that possesses this technology, even if their individual lives are captured by other civilizations, cannot expect their race to serve them loyally until their genetic locks are cracked.

There is no general explanation for the other items, but humans also know what they mean. In short, they are all good things. Unfortunately, the price is also very high. Just a single functional gene lock technology requires 100 million tons of antimatter. Of course, it is just a price. In fact, the dynamic picture civilization does not accept the use of antimatter for currency transactions.

They only accept trade-ins for technologies they like.

They own one-sixth of a Dyson sphere and are much more efficient in producing antimatter than humans, so the antimatter trade involved is not humans selling, but the other way around.

This is really a scam, they are the ones making money no matter how you look at it.

Fortunately, the pricing of scientific and technological materials is not entirely up to them, and scientists on the human side also have a say. You priced the gene lock technology so high, so I will also price the technology that I have but you don't have high, and in the end everyone will be left staring blankly.

Anyway, you don't have the technology and you don't understand it, so I have the final say on how difficult it is to achieve it. This is also true. For example, when the dynamic picture civilization took a fancy to human mechanical technology, human scientists praised it to the sky.

It is said that with this kind of mechanical expertise data, all kinds of mechanical and portable mechanical equipment and engineering equipment can be manufactured at any time, which will eventually increase the efficiency of the entire civilization in docking, resource mining, spacecraft maintenance, and manufacturing by at least 60%. This is an improvement in the comprehensive strength of a civilization, not just one aspect, but a specialized technology that strengthens the inner strength of the entire civilization. Its value is more than enough to buy a whole set of gene lock technology if measured in antimatter.

Such statements are naturally exaggerated. For example, the statement that the efficiency of all fields has increased by 60% is just bragging. Humans themselves have only improved by about 30%.

However, in terms of improving the internal strength of the overall civilization, it is not just a random statement made by humans, but a real fact. Two civilizations of the same level, with a civilization that specializes in machinery like humans, will have higher productivity than normal civilizations. In terms of war potential, higher productivity means higher combat effectiveness.

It is precisely because of this that the dynamic picture civilization is obsessed with the mechanical mastery demonstrated by human spacecraft.

Actually, mechanical expertise is not like a technology, but more like a deeper research of humans in the field of mechanics. It is the achievement of the human species in the field of mechanics.

However, it is obviously far from reaching the level of special technology. Therefore, if other civilized races have detailed technical information, they can still conduct research, interpret and master it. The key is to have the research results of others.

This is the core of the exchange and technological transactions between civilizations.

It can be regarded as a kind of mutual exchange between the two civilizations, which can complement each other on the road of technological development. This form of communication can indeed promote the development of civilization, but it is too difficult for such an environment to exist in the universe.

Because no one knows whether the technology they sell will become the key technology to inspire other civilizations, and then they will surpass them and destroy them. Maybe they were originally a civilization trapped at the fourth level for thousands of years, but because of one of their technologies, they gave them inspiration, and then they became the key to mastering the theory of everything, becoming a fifth-level civilization, and then they incorporated them. The story of the farmer and the snake is not limited to human civilization. Who can you complain to then?

Only a civilization like the animated picture civilization with a backstage, and that backstage is a benevolent civilization, can engage in interstellar trade in this way. Otherwise, it is the second Red Flame Civilization.

In fact, humans and animated graphics civilizations, both of which are level 4 civilizations, have similar technologies mastered by both sides. However, in the communication between the two civilizations, they not only communicate on technologies that they do not have but the other side has, but also on technologies that both sides have.

Because for the same technology, the development and research levels of the two civilizations will be different. Just like the high-voltage power transmission technology in the Earth era, everyone understands the principle, but the flower growers are the world's number one in this field. This is the difference in research and development.

Therefore, in the transaction process with the dynamic image civilization, in addition to the scientific and technological information such as gene lock technology that needs to be purchased, other technologies that they have mastered can also be communicated with the dynamic image civilization in this process.

We can discuss some details on warp speed navigation technology, technical details of force field shields and polarization shields, research directions, development experience of tachyon technology, etc.

If such an exchange were placed in a cultivation novel, it would be a discussion of the Tao.

However, it is obvious that in today's human civilization and dynamic graphics and texts, it is impossible to "discuss" with each other with confidence, because both sides have not yet reached the point of complete trust in each other. Therefore, even if there are such scientific and technological exchanges, everyone will be reserved.

After all, this kind of communication will involve all aspects of the development of one's own civilization and technology. Revealing everything is tantamount to telling the other party the strengths and weaknesses of one's own civilization. Once the other party knows the truth, it will be easy to be targeted, and hiding one's weaknesses is inevitable.

However, there are skills to hiding one's shortcomings. After all, this is science and technology. The other party's scientists are no pushovers and will definitely be able to spot obvious mistakes. Even if they don't know them on the spot, they can still find them out after taking the scientific data back for analysis and experiments.

Therefore, it takes great skill to distinguish the true from the false. It is more difficult to forge something than to make it real, which makes civilizations more reluctant to communicate. Even in places where interstellar trade is serious, everyone is deliberately hiding it.

But everyone knows about this, but no one talks about it.

Therefore, in the exchanges between human civilization, dynamic picture civilization, and Orange Star civilization, the transaction of scientific and technological information has unsurprisingly become the longest and most difficult task.

After the transaction of goods was completed, it took the three civilizations thirty years to complete this exchange.
