Beneath Deep Space

This loud shout awakened the fanatical crowd.

After slowly calming down, they stopped fantasizing one by one, sighing and thinking about the real intention of this commercial spacecraft.

After a while, a member of the think tank stood up and said: "There are only three answers. First, they are liars; second, they really want to trade and open up this market at a preferential price; third, they have other purposes..."

"According to common sense, if you want to open up a market in someone else's territory, you must fight a price war..."

Yu Yifeng nodded: "12,000 points for a flagship, the price is indeed good, it is quite favorable for us. According to industrial capacity, if we produce 12,000 points of antimatter, we can already build more and more flagships."

Someone else stood up and said: "Although we can't sell three flagships at a time, then... one. A flagship, 12,000 points, can't be exchanged for dark matter bias shield, but it can also be exchanged for a lot of technology."

"Other technologies are also what we need."

The voices in the conference room are endless.

The majority of people were against it. "A flagship will reduce our combat power by a quarter, and the opponent's combat power will be greatly enhanced... It's better not to do this. If the opponent is really a robber, he may still be concerned about us... Once the transaction is completed, the combat power will be reversed."

"It's better not to trade the flagship... Don't be greedy for a bargain."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Yu Yifeng still hardened his heart... and rejected the transaction again, although the temptation from the other party was indeed great.

After making this decision, he felt relieved.

"I'm sorry, these medium-sized warships are indeed not included in the scope of this transaction. However, our army still has extra small spaceships suitable for interstellar voyages..."

These tradable spaceships are of course "Titan". A two-kilometer-level spaceship with a curvature engine is still qualified for long-distance interstellar voyages.

However, it is a little inconvenient to replenish energy every ten light years.

After that, people sent the relevant parameters of the "Titan" spaceship.

These parameters are of course castrated versions, not the latest spaceships. The new humans couldn't be so stupid as to completely hand over their details and combat effectiveness reports to the other party.

The waiting began again, and no one knew how the other party would respond.

At this moment, suddenly, a very weak voice appeared in the silent crowd: "Have you ever thought about why the other party wants to buy our spacecraft? What is the motivation for this?"

"Why?"

Yu Yifeng's heart trembled, he thought about it, but didn't speak.

"Tell me what you think." Yu Yifeng asked.

This young man is a strange face, and he has never seen him before, which means that he has just obtained the qualification for the meeting and is an outstanding talent who has passed many selections.

The man stood up slowly, his face slightly red, and said in a not very confident voice: "I have three guesses. First, the other party is indeed a liar. I don't know how they can tell that we are just a novice interstellar civilization... Maybe it's the wording, or maybe it's something else, anyway, they can see it." "For a liar, it wants to cheat our spaceship. It can cheat anything it has, no motive is needed." "Second, because of the intellectual barrier, the other party's highest-level technology may be weaker than ours, but they have a wider range of knowledge and can see that our flagship is a spaceship that uses a lot of nanomaterials." "So, the price of 12,000 points may actually be underestimated. After they buy it, they can still make a little money, or they can do some research. This possibility is not impossible..." The meeting room was silent, and everyone was looking at him, which made his face even hotter and redder. "Third... Let me first explain that I don't have any evidence for the third guess. I just said it casually for your reference." Yu Yifeng nodded solemnly. "Third, the other party's spaceship may have been damaged. It looks intact, but it can't fly! So they urgently need to buy spaceships from us, even if it costs a lot!"

There was a brief silence in the venue, and then it exploded.

Soon someone jumped out to refute the third guess: "Impossible, this statement is too contradictory. Could it be that a large spaceship that travels far into the interstellar space doesn't even carry basic repair equipment, and doesn't even have engineers... and dares to go out to do business?"

"And... For example, our spaceship, the main engine is broken, there is a secondary engine, and the secondary engine is broken, there is a spare... How stupid can you make the spaceship completely unable to fly? Is there no spare small spaceship in the spaceship? Do you have to buy it from us? Are all of them damaged?"

Think about it carefully, a good spaceship suddenly can't fly, this kind of thing is ridiculous. Do you really think that interstellar travel is as simple as driving on the road?

The young man blushed immediately and couldn't even raise his head.

After being criticized, he also felt that his idea was a bit absurd.

But soon, Yu Yifeng calmed down the noisy crowd, "This kind of place needs to pool ideas, seniority is not the most important, having different ideas is a good thing."

"...We need more open-minded thinking to make better decisions. What's your name?" Yu Yifeng asked.

"Xiao Zuo!" The thin-skinned young man seemed to have some confidence and quickly said his name.

Because of Xiao Zuo's reminder, people are racking their brains to speculate on the other party's "motivation" for purchasing the large spaceship!

One of the experts stood up and said: "Let me talk about the fourth possibility. The other party has to go to the next trading location. They clearly know that there may be a big deal there. But this commercial spacecraft itself can no longer hold more I have something, so I want to buy a big spaceship from us.”

"Or maybe there is a Destroyer civilization there, which has turned it into a dangerous area and requires a stronger military force! Therefore, a spaceship needs to be purchased."

"...It's possible, maybe this kind of speculation is more likely."

After this period of discussion, basically all speculations have been exhausted.

Yu Yifeng did not raise any objection and asked again, "So, what does the other party mean by buying organic matter? Is there a sudden population explosion and supplies missing? Such a big spaceship can't even grow any food?"

This is a bit incredible.

Or... it's simply a cover. No matter how much the price of organic matter is raised, it's just like that. Add up all the animals and plants in the new human race, and the protein will only cost the price of one hand.

Or...the third guess was confirmed from the side, that the spacecraft has been damaged? ! Can’t produce food anymore?

Or, the next trading location needs a lot of organic matter and they can make money?

Everyone was thinking hard, and amidst the discussion, there were more and more suspicious points about this commercial spaceship.

Many experts have even found key evidence that "the opponent's spacecraft is suspected of being damaged"!

"Look, the other party forcibly chose this three-body star as the trading location. The three-body motion is a chaotic motion and is extremely sensitive to the initial value. Even human observation behavior will affect this motion!" Astronomer Tom Professor Xun said excitedly.

Therefore, it is impossible to predict this movement with complete accuracy.

Staying in a place like this is a danger in itself.

"Is it possible that the spacecraft has no power and can only park in this place?"

"Also, the orbit of the spacecraft is too strange. Such a flat ellipse relies entirely on inertial motion. Although it has a sense of showing off... but it is not necessary, right?"

Some calculation experts even suspected that such a shape was pulled out by... the gravitational influence of surrounding stars!

In other words, its initial orbit is a circle. But over the course of several decades, due to the gravitational confrontation with other stars, it was forcibly pulled into an ellipse.

"It also seems to prove that the spacecraft has no power."

It's weird, really weird.
