I kidnapped an alien civilization

What should I exchange?

The Unified Equation of the Universe?

Curvature spaceship drawings?

Individuals of lower civilizations can never imagine what the technology of higher civilizations is like.

Just like the primitive man holding a stone ax and yelling Aww and chasing wild beasts, it is absolutely impossible for them to think that there will be a technology in the future that can create a powerful weapon, and with a light pull of the trigger, they can capture the fierce beasts in front of them. the beast.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, and decided to seek help from the big-headed Pajero: Do you have any good suggestions?

Before the exchange, according to the general principles of the Universal Civilization Law, I must explain something to you. The voice of the big-headed Pajero came from the gray mist, Our Pajero civilization must draw 50% of the total value of the items in this transaction. %, as a handling fee.

Handling fee?

It's still 50% of the handling fee? Li Mo was taken aback. He had already paid for two opportunities to ask questions. Why did he still have to pay the handling fee? It was still 50%!

This is more ruthless than some game platforms on the earth.

Of course, you can also choose not to conduct transactions through our Pajero civilization. The big head replied, But even if the transaction is terminated, your two opportunities to ask questions will not be refunded.

This is completely determined to eat yourself!

Li Mo understood that if he didn't pass through the Pajero people, the metal plate in his hand would be just a pile of waste.

But 50% of the handling fee, isn't this robbery?

Li Mo was very unwilling.

However, our Pajero civilization, as an intermediate platform, will strive for the greatest benefits for you. After all, we are old customers of the library civilization and are very familiar with their routines. The big-headed Pajero looks like an insurance salesman on earth. , And according to my understanding of earth technology, I will definitely help you choose the most suitable technology.

I can assure you that the 50% handling fee is definitely worth the money.

What he said made Li Mo feel ashamed. In order to facilitate this deal, the big-headed Pajero people have given up the dignity of the fourth-level civilization.

However, what he said made some sense. As a level 4 civilization, the Pajero people naturally already filled the lower-level technology tree. They know what technology the earth needs most.

wrong!

has a problem!

Li Mo suddenly realized the loopholes in this transaction, and he asked suspiciously: I remember that in the general principles of the Universal Civilization Law, there is a regulation that clearly states that high-level civilizations are not allowed to teach technology to low-level civilizations.

Why can library civilization violate this regulation?

When the Pajero people with big heads were first created, he made a request to ask the Pajero people to improve the scientific and technological level of the earth, but it was precisely because of this behavior that they violated the general principles of the law of civilization of the universe and were mercilessly rejected by them.

And now he knows that there is a library civilization in the universe that specializes in exchanging technology and other items for stories. This is a complete paradox!

Are big-headed Pajero people lying?

This is the first time he has doubts about this alien who has always talked about the general principles of cosmic civilization.

The General Law of Cosmic Civilization is true, and so is the library civilization! The big-headed Pajero sensed his doubts and explained: The General Law of Cosmic Civilization is like the traffic regulations on the earth, guiding all kinds of civilizations in the world. The universe develops in an orderly manner, and once various civilizations violate the general rules, they are likely to be punished mysteriously.

But at the same time, it has the same drawbacks as traffic laws.

On Earth, as long as a person can pay enough, there will be no traffic laws.

In the universe, if a civilization can pay a sufficient price, it can completely ignore the general principles of the law of civilization in the universe, and the library civilization is exactly this level of civilization.

I see.

The civilizations in the universe are divided into three, six, and nine grades according to their strength. The general law of civilization in the universe can restrict ordinary civilizations with average or weak strength, but facing some god-level civilizations, it seems that there is more than enough energy.

The fourth-level Pajero civilization has to carefully follow the general rules of the Universal Civilization Law, because they cannot bear the mysterious punishment caused by violating the general rules. And the level 8 civilization - the library civilization has the means to resist the mysterious punishment, so it ignores the general rules.

After solving the last trace of doubt in his heart, Li Mo placed all the metal plates in the gray fog, I entrust you with the full power of the transaction, take these metal plates away.

Take it away?

I don't have this kind of ability. I just need to convert these written records into quantum waves and send them back to Pajero Planet, and then the civilization ambassador who is in charge of transactions will contact the library civilization for transactions.

Library civilization can naturally distinguish the authenticity of records.

Perhaps in order to avoid misunderstanding, the big-headed Pajero people explained the whole process of the transaction in detail.

The gray fog in the space began to condense, and a moment later, a big black eye appeared in midair. The eyes of the big eye swept across the metal plate, and then fell apart, turning into wisps of gray fog again.

Wait a minute! The voice of the big-headed Pajero came from the high platform. The content recorded on the metal plate has been sent out, we just need to wait here for a reply.

high tech!

Li Mo doesn't know where the library civilization is in the universe, but it must be tens of thousands of light-years away from the earth.

Looking at the posture of the Pajero people in their brains, they can complete this transaction in a short period of time, spanning tens of thousands of light years.

Maybe the 50% handling fee is worth the money.

The transaction is in progress, but the metal plates on the ground are still quietly lying in the gray mist, Li Mo asked on the high platform: Doesn't the transaction need these metal plates that record the real history of civilization?

Ha ha!

After so much, you still stick to the appearance of things, remember I told you the nature of the universe? The big-headed Pajero seems to be in a good mood.

Well, the class is about to start again, Li Mo knows that when this big-headed Pajero is in a good mood, he will go back to his old job--teacher, at this time, it is best to listen to this alien The teacher finished.

The essence of the universe is information. Li Mo replied very cooperatively.

That's right, our entire universe, including ourselves, is a kind of information. The Pajero people with big heads began to show off their knowledge again, There are thousands of differences between information, which determines the difference between us.

But among all the information, there is a peculiar kind of information. It is not common matter, life, or energy. It describes the bit by bit record of a civilization assembly in transforming the universe. To be precise , it is a collection of information.

This collection of information is the true historical record of civilization. It is unique. When the big eyes scanned the words engraved on the metal plate, this unique collection of information has been extracted.

So, the metal plates that lost the information aggregates have lost their corresponding value, and they have returned to the ordinary list.

Li Mo was a little confused by Pajero's mouthful words, but he understood one thing, the transaction does not need to send these alien metal plates from Mars to the library civilization.

This is enough, because he feels that the material of these metal plates seems to be very similar to the special metal needed for the Navigator's engine.
