From black technology to super engineering - #541 - Chapter 539: The Ruler of the Eyed Star

Dong Xuanxuan, who had finished the preliminary negotiations, returned to the spaceship and dialed Ye Ming’s video call at the same time.

“Too much! Too much!”

As soon as Ye Ming showed up, Dong Xuanxuan said loudly angrily, her chest rising and falling: “Did you hear what the other party said?”

“I haven’t watched it yet. We were discussing about the universe factory just now.” Ye Ming laughed: “What’s wrong? You can make Sister Xuan so angry.”

“You know it when you look at it. This Kodo tribe is a typical… Damn, I can’t describe it-they don’t treat bear people as human beings.”

“Huh? How do you say that?”

“Basically, they generally think that they are superior to those bears.”

Immediately afterwards, Dong Xuanxuan briefly introduced the trade attitude of the Kodo people here to Ye Ming.

To put it simply, the Kodo people do not refuse to trade with humans, and they even gave the same product introduction, intending to conduct the most primitive barter trade with humans.

Obviously, as a highly developed industrial civilization, the products of the Kodo people, a civilization with a crooked technological tree, are not enough to arouse human interest-of course, some handicraft products and some local specialties can be tasted. But you said that it is obviously impossible to rely on these to support trade between civilizations.

However, when Dong Xuanxuan proposed that human trade is aimed at the entire star, and it is necessary to establish trading stations and logistics ports on the ground of the star to promote advanced network coverage and information services. Instead of simply exchanging things, her suggestion was directly rejected by the other party.

The reason is simple, the Kodo people think that bear people are not entitled to enjoy the same products as them.

Or in other words, the Kodo people believe that it is their business to allow the bears to use and enjoy services, and there is no need for humans to deal directly with the bears.

Moreover, the Kodo people are not the kind of “secondary traffickers” who want to collect tolls and intermediate fees, but they want to have absolute distribution rights.

This made the entire human delegation somewhat unexpected.

After listening to Dong Xuanxuan’s introduction, Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds: “It seems that the above analysis is correct. The Kodo people want to maintain absolute control over the star and the indigenous people.”

“Yeah… Let me confess first, I’m not a holy mother, but at this moment, I still feel that these Kodo people who ride on the heads of the people and shit and pee are not kind and should be knocked down.” Dong Xuanxuan flipped He rolled his eyes, which shows his mood: “The main reason is that they delay us from making money!”

Ye Ming smiled and shook his head: “Is there really no progress at all? Or is there something to talk about in some hidden meaning?”

“Not at the moment, and now we can only hope that we just met today, and it’s normal if we can’t reach a consensus. Tomorrow we will go to the next batch of supplies, and we will see what they say… Anyway, it depends on the Kodo people and the people.” Our trade is not enough for our round trip fuel expenses!”

“Well, let’s sum it up first, don’t worry, remember, we are here mainly to seek cooperation, not to export ideology.”

“I think it’s really time to output it!”

“Hahaha, you must hold back and wait for our news.”

…

At the same time, a discussion about trade with humans was also going on in the meeting hall next to the main hall of the Kodo tribe.

Different from the majestic, high upper hall with only three seats, there are a total of five chairs in the conference hall, and there is a huge oval-shaped conference table in the middle.

At this time, nine elders headed by the Great Elder gathered here.

“Humanity’s request is so absurd, I don’t agree.”

The one who spoke was Martin, the elder who was in charge of teaching. Not only was he in charge of the knowledge inheritance of the Kodo disciples in the temple, but he also paid attention to whether there could be wise people born among the bear people. Therefore, he knew very well the nature of the bear people—that is, a group of intelligent people. Lowly “lower creatures”.

For thousands of years, all the knowledge has been passed down by the disciples and people of the Kodo people. All the production tools and materials are mastered and distributed by the Kodo people. Those bear people can only master the most basic technology and simple methods. There is no way to master advanced theories.

Fortunately, they still have a group of strength and pious beliefs, which gave them a reason for the Kodo people to support them all the time.

Now, you say let them trade with humans… There is no such condition at all!

“I also disagree. According to the IQ of the bear people, they obviously cannot understand human technology and can only attribute it to miracles.”

“I don’t agree either.”

As everyone expressed their opinions one after another, Great Elder Umut frowned deeply and looked at everyone one by one.

After a few seconds of silence, the Great Elder said softly: “Although I don’t agree, but have you considered that human trade has costs.”

As he said that, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the communication with the Grand Priest of the Kara Tribe.

“The Great Rites of the Kara Tribe told me that human beings have a population of tens of billions, and they have such a huge industrial capacity…while we only have a mere few hundred thousand people.”

At this time, someone immediately said: “But now they want to trade with us, Great Elder.”

“So, we can consider gifting some unsophisticated commodities.”

“Then what is the gift?”

“I’ll make a decision after reading it tomorrow.” The Great Elder looked at everyone: “What we need is to complete the continuation of civilization and improve our civilization level—I think the words of the Great Rites of the Kara people are quite right.”

“Now, human civilization has more advanced technology than ours. We must seize this opportunity. At least, we must have the ability to travel between stars before the Karazu people return.”

As the elder’s voice fell, everyone fell into silence.

Yes, even after thousands of years, we can no longer talk about the grievances with the Kara tribe, but at least… we can’t let them look down upon us!

…

the next day.

When she stepped out of the spaceship again and walked into the airport, Dong Xuanxuan had already gotten used to the artificial gravity that relied on the separation force to camouflage. At least, she could stand firm without supporting Ita.

But what made her a little upset was that there was no elder-level person in charge of receiving her today, but a middle-aged female cat star and a group of bear people came over.

After a brief exchange, Dong Xuanxuan opened the cargo compartment, and asked Aita to control the mechanical arm to start going to various material boxes on the ground of the airport.

“Hey, be careful.”

From a distance, she saw a strong bear man with a height of more than two meters holding the box and moving it. She quickly walked forward while greeting him.

Obviously, the bear man was a little confused by her sudden greeting, and then stayed where he was.

“Be careful.”

Dong Xuanxuan looked at each other and gestured with a smile.

The other party smiled back, showing a mouthful of neat teeth.
