Chapter 1444 Military Expenditure and Trade

"100,000 units of Zro Star Source have been paid and deposited into the account of the Human Expeditionary Fleet in the Carbon-Based Alliance Comprehensive Bank..."

In the Mechanical Empire Planet Fortress in μ556 Pisces, after Verian and Fang Yuan met, they took the initiative to mention the payment of military expenses:

"This Zro Star Source can withdraw cash, but if the cash withdrawal is too large, it will take time.

"In the carbon-based alliance, Zro Star Source can be regarded as a hard currency and has a relatively stable exchange rate with alliance currencies.

"From the analysis of the trade behavior of human civilization, I hope that if you want to buy something, you will be given priority to buying it here."

This situation has also happened in photosynthetic civilization before.

For the Mechanical Empire, paying 100,000 units of Zro Star Source to resolve the Pisces μ556 battle, is not a loss.

However, if this military expenditure can be left in the mechanical empire through trade, it will naturally be a better result.

In the Carbon-based Alliance, Zro Star Source is indeed a resource with relatively stable prices, and can indeed be regarded as a hard currency, just like gold in the Earth's era.

To be precise, the price of Zro Star Source is much more stable than that of gold.

However, there will still fluctuate due to factors such as war and resource development.

For example, if the Carbon-based Alliance fails in the front battlefield, resulting in the loss of the important Zro Star Source Resource Star, then the Zro Star Source will rise.

On the contrary, if a large number of Zro star sources are found in a safe star field, the price will drop.

Judging from the past few decades, the price of Zro Star Source of the Carbon-based Alliance has been rising most of the time.

Because the frontal battlefield of the Carbon-based Alliance is at a disadvantage and the resource stars are continuing to decrease, the prices of related resources are rising.

Verian leaned closer and said in an old friend's tone: "I suggest you hold the Zro Star Source and don't change it to the Alliance currency. The price of Zro Star Source has been rising. Although the Alliance headquarters has been working hard to control the price increase, this is the situation. It still needs to rise. Working hard can only slow down the rise."

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "I think it's better to exchange it for alliance currency and buy some military technology by the way."

"Why?"

"I have a feeling that the price of Zro Star Source may fall."

"That's basically impossible. Even if it falls, it's only a short-term situation, and the overall trend will still rise." Verian shook his head.

He came up with the result after accurate calculations, so he firmly believed in this conclusion.

"This doesn't matter. I'm going to spend this money anyway. The military technology I sent to you before, applied for the lifting of permissions, what's the result?" Fang Yuan turned to ask about the matter.

Nowadays, most of the technology needed by humans are truly cutting-edge technology that is being used by higher civilizations.

The technologies used by higher civilizations such as the Mechanical Empire and Photosynthetic Civilization are already very mature.

Since these technologies are technologies used by higher civilizations themselves, these technologies are in the ranks of prohibited sales.

It is impossible to sell unless the Supreme Council of Civilization passes an application.

Under normal circumstances, these cutting-edge technologies will only be put on the sale list after they are developed by higher civilizations and are eliminated.

In the past decade, human beings have more or less obtained important technologies that have eliminated higher civilizations through purchase, learning, cooperation and other methods.

At this stage, the important technologies needed by humans are basically technologies that are prohibited by higher civilizations.

"This is still going through the procedures, but to be honest, it is difficult to lift the ban on the military technology you mentioned." Verian replied.

"You have to think about it. I got those technologies, armed on the fleet, and finally used them in the Pisces dwarf galaxy to attack Palesey..."

Fang Yuan pointed at Villian, then pointed at himself, and continued: "Our goal is the same, this is a win-win solution.

"And, if you want to spend 100,000 units of Zro Star Source, you have to buy something.

"It's useless to buy things we already have. Like 'self-evolution logic', this is used in conjunction with the battleship automated combat module.

"This technology is the direction of artificial intelligence.

"It is impossible for humans to follow the route of the mechanical empire. This technology is only used in the automated combat of warships and will not affect the field of artificial intelligence of the mechanical empire.

"I think this technology can be sold completely, at most it is to add a few more terms."

Verian nodded slowly, agreeing with Fang Yuan's statement.

Previously, the Human Expeditionary Fleet had submitted a list of technologies they wanted to purchase.

The "self-evolution logic" is indeed on the list.

This is an artificial intelligence technology. If used in conjunction with the battleship automation combat module, it can reduce bugs in the battleship automation combat technology.

Even if some bugs appear, the "self-evolution logic" can automatically solve these problems.

In short, this technology is to install a brain on the battleship’s automated combat module, which can judge the battle situation by yourself and make the best decisions.

Of course, humans want to buy this technology not only to cooperate with the battleship automation combat module, but also to improve the level of artificial intelligence technology.

After entering the interstellar era, the role of artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important.

Computing power has become an important criterion for measuring the level of comprehensive strength of civilization.

Therefore, humans need to make technological innovations in computers and artificial intelligence.

However, in higher civilizations, these two aspects are not sold products, and even if they can be purchased, they are technology that has been eliminated.

In this regard, the Mechanical Empire is the best technology among all the higher civilizations of this galaxy group.

Therefore, the list of purchases submitted by the Expeditionary Fleet to the Mechanical Empire contains a lot of technologies about artificial intelligence and computers.

However, if you want to buy these technologies, you need to go through the review of the Supreme Council of the Mechanical Empire.

...

Three days later.

The Mechanical Empire gave a reply with high efficiency and agreed to a small number of technology purchase requirements.

"Self-evolution logic" is included, but the castration version is given, which can only be used to cooperate with the battleship automated combat module. If you want to use it in other fields, you lack more critical things.

The technology purchased is expected to be retained.

Even so, this is also a way for human science and technology to develop rapidly.

It can be said that in the past few decades, humans have leap from planetary civilization to stellar civilization, and now they have to leap to a higher level, relying on purchasing, cooperation and learning.

"Can't you give a full version?" Fang Yuan saw the reply, communicated with Villian and tried to lobby.

"This is the best result that can be achieved at present." Verian replied helplessly.

"The best result that can be achieved at present? That is, there is still room for talks in the future." Fang Yuan asked.

"In fact, it depends on your contribution. If you can fight a few more battles like annihilation of the Ferwood Ghost Fleet, you will definitely be able to deepen your cooperation in the future." Verian replied.
