Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 615 - 611 Haha... Applause!

After quite a while, everyone finally reached a basic consensus.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "Alas, let’s buy it, buy it. We operate on a big government model, and although public opinion cannot be the main reference, we can’t completely ignore it, can we?"

Because owning their own Planet Fortress had gradually become the people’s dream.

In the past, people thought that a spaceship carrying fifty million people was pretty reliable.

Fifty million! The original Earth Era Spaceship only had a population of five hundred thousand, a hundredfold increase to a super spaceship was unimaginable. A hundredfold increase was not only a spatial one, but also included boosts in scientific research capabilities, ecological environments, industrial capacities, and job positions across the board.

But after arriving here and witnessing the majestic Dyson Sphere, everyone’s mentality changed, and they all desired a War Star to call their own.

The Dyson Sphere was so vast; the size of the planets was minute in comparison—such a request was not excessive at all!

This desire was manifested in everyday conversations and all aspects of life, remaining a highly popular topic online. Some enthusiasts even wrote several well-argued papers on the topic, making it seem as real as anything.

People felt like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time, seeing real skyscrapers that could literally twist their necks from looking up. Now, if they couldn’t afford a Dyson Sphere (skyscraper), they at least had to find a way to buy an apartment suite, right?

They surely couldn’t return to living in a doghouse.

However, as much as they desired, the diplomats would never show an anxious craving, Otherwise, if they were harshly exploited, it would be a very bad deal.

Facing a more advanced technology trade invitation from a Level 4 civilization, the Half-sphere Civilization naturally did not delay, and both parties began friendly negotiations...

Until three months later, the New Human Side officially traded 207 Amoeba Points and some ancillary knowledge about the brain to acquire a semi-finished Planet Fortress, formally codenamed "HJP990IC009."

Some wanted to name it "Olympus," as there was a huge flat-topped peak on the planet similar to the mythical Mount Olympus; others wanted to name it "Noah’s Ark," "Death Star," and so on. The War Star wasn’t even in hand yet, but names were already being considered.

This War Star had its foundation laid; the Amoeba Points spent by humanity accounted for this phase of the project.

In the overall planning, the first step was the installation of the curvature engine, nothing else was needed; just by installing the curvature engine to provide mobility, the entire War Star’s security would be ensured.

Regarding subsequent systems like weapons, ecological, and industrial systems, they could be developed slowly after departing from here.

"Finally, we’ve completed a hefty trade! Applause!" This individual from the Half-sphere Civilization, looked a bit like humans but was slightly shorter, approximately 1.6 meters tall.

During the trade, people learned about each other’s history. They had transformed most of their bodies into machinery, and the only remaining "living" parts were their brains included inside.

However, the Half-sphere Civilization was only a third-level civilization, and their technology had not yet advanced to fully modifying the brain, resulting in somewhat bizarre behaviors.

This was a very polite civilization, especially the etiquette of "applauding," similar to humans... They would applaud with every sentence they spoke.

"After this trade, we’ll return to our Mother Star... Applause!"

"Really missing our Mother Star... Applause!"

Zhang Yuan saw them frantically applauding, whose rate even exceeded 1000 per minute! This must be an advantage of mechanical modification, where their movements were swift without feeling tired.

"Hmm... the human world record for applauding is, I believe, about 700 times per minute..."

Listening to the loud and rapid "clapping" sounds, he felt slightly embarrassed; regardless of the circumstances, it was a mutually beneficial trade.

The diplomat sitting nearby said, "If only the communications in the interstellar trading market among various civilizations were more prosperous. The trades between civilizations might also increase and not be as they are now, where mutually beneficial trades could be more common."

The diplomat from the Half-sphere Civilization said, "Oh, it’s like this, the Ji Haman Civilization itself had no intention to set up this trading market because they are too busy!"

"Only later, when more and more civilizations had gathered here, did a temporary trading market form, as long as there are no wars, they do not interfere much."

"We originally planned to develop a Planet Fortress ourselves, adding to the already existing Planet Fortresses of the Mother Star, making three Planet Fortresses, which is quite good among third-level civilizations! In the future, it also provides us with certain self-protection capabilities."

"Applause!"

"Selling one is no problem, and we got some really good news! Applause!"

"Ha ha... Applause!" The diplomat in charge of the communication hinted to the people around him, then all humans began to applaud as well.

During the interaction, Zhang Yuan felt that this third-level civilization had a strange temperament, as if it had certain personality defects.

It was somewhat indescribable for a moment.

Receiving a Planet Fortress naturally involves a huge amount of work; it’s not something that can be done just by taking a glance.

Including various microbial checks, planetary geological surveys, dangerous substances screening, whether the infrastructure is stable, whether there might be defects, and so on.

Especially extraterrestrial microbes, these things can be quite dangerous if left behind. The method used by humans for inspections is a type of fungus spray called "Asiba-3x," which has a very short lifespan and can react with most organic substances.

By then, simply by detecting the corpses of these fungi, one can determine whether any extraterrestrial microbes remain.

If even one condition fails, humans can demand some compensation.

"An inspection has been performed already, there should be no issue with safety," a diplomat next to Zhang Yuan said, "this Half-sphere Civilization is neutral, it doesn’t seem to be controlled by any other fourth-level civilization."

"And it has that kind of ’neat freak’ obsession... I heard that there’s a historical reason they transformed themselves into this..."

Since both parties were inside their own spaceships, speaking screen to screen, discussing here was also unobstructed.

The diplomat adjusted his glasses: "They have almost entirely exterminated the animals, plants, and microbes of their own Mother Star!"

That was something unheard of!

Zhang Yuan was slightly shocked, if these actions were encountered by environmentalists in the universe, this Half-sphere Civilization might face extreme punishments!

"Could it be that they are very belligerent?"

"... It might be related to a viral disaster that happened before, a biochemical disaster that made them what they are."

"Of course, we don’t know the specific history, it’s just occasionally heard."

"Their means of reproduction is through mechanical reproduction, similar to our artificial wombs technology, and primarily consists of clones. Each individual has cloning rights. Especially major scientists or politicians, they have multiple cloning rights."

"These types of clones, well... even if the genotype is excellent, the phenotype might not necessarily be excellent, it still depends on the effort put in later on..."

Zhang Yuan nodded, that made sense, cloning another Einstein wouldn’t necessarily create the next Einstein. This had a lot to do with later experiences and innate subjectivity.

"... After the infants are essentially maturely developed, the Half-sphere Civilization performs semi-mechanical transformations on them, continuing until only the brain remains, which sounds a bit terrifying."
