2. The first interstellar transaction
- The best electronic astronomy station
After Tong Dakui and Fang Xiongwei left, Shao Dongyang felt a sense of emptiness and was thinking about finding something, thinking that the LCD monitor had not been installed yet.
Unpack the packaging box, take out the monitor, connect the power supply and the host, and turn on the computer host.
Shao Dongyang carefully checked the monitor and found that there were no black and white spots. Also, the brightness of the monitor was also very satisfying and suitable for his eyes. "The quality of this LCD monitor feels good..."
After commenting on the quality of the LCD monitor, Shao Dongyang turned on the speaker again, sounded music, and sat in front of the computer for a moment. He didn't know what to do next, emptiness and boredom surged in his heart!
"Oh, I guess this is how your pets live their lives!"
Shao Dongyang borrowed the lines from a well-known film a few years ago and suddenly thought of changing clothes and washing clothes. He found those clothes, touched them in his pocket, took out the things inside, and prepared to wash clothes.
"By the way, I picked up a note in the Internet cafe yesterday, which contained the URL of the part-time website. I can go up and take a look..."
Found the note, Shao Dongyang entered the note according to the URL, the monitor flashed and entered a full-screen video interface. In the video, he saw a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes with a thin face...
"What's going on?" Shao Dongyang was stunned.
"Hello, friends from alien planets!"
Shao Dongyang was stunned for a while when he heard the greetings from the people on the screen, "Hello..."
"Haha, introduce yourself, I am Moseston from Sheng Tianxing..."
At this time, Shao Dongyang had already decided that he had entered a website with a virus, and someone was joking with him. At this time, he felt bored. Not only was he not angry, but he said appropriately: "I am Shao Dongyang from the Earth planet of the Milky Way Solar System. I'm very happy to know you!"
"..." Moses paused and looked at Shao Dongyang with confusion, "Aren't you surprised when you see me?"
"Surprised, why are you surprised?"
"Congratulations, you have become a glorious interstellar liaison!"
"Haha!" Shao Dongyang felt that the other party was really good at bragging, and he was quite talented in acting, suitable for being an actor, and muttered in his heart, "The other party must have regarded it as an otaku who likes science fiction novels, and may still be an excellent hacker. Hey, I'm bored now and need some fun and tease you..."
"What are the benefits of becoming an interstellar liaison?
"Interstellar liaison officers can conduct interstellar trade, and you can exchange for obtaining what you need..."
"Interstellar trade!" Shao Dongyang paused, mocking the other party for being very poisonous in science fiction novels, "Is there anything you need on my planet?"
"I don't understand the planet you are on. We can communicate through communication and achieve interoperability..."
"What do you need? And, how can we trade?"
"I need a lot of things. Also, the interstellar liaison is not the only two of us. Before I met you, I had already established a relationship with the interstellar liaison officer of another planet. He is also a human being. You are the second interstellar liaison officer I know. In addition to directly conducting interstellar trade, the interstellar liaison officer can also act as an interstellar liaison officer. For example, Senior Feders asked me for plants that can survive in the desert. If you can provide such a plant, you can complete the transaction with Senior Feders with my help!"
Moseston paused for a moment, smiled and continued, "Of course, I will draw some commissions from it!"
"Plants that can survive in the desert?" Shao Dongyang paused, and Yu Guang glanced at the windowsill. There was a pot of cactus left by the owner on the bed. "What is the transaction price?"
“You can’t have a plant like that…”
"..." Shao Dongyang thought for a while and muttered: "I don't know what the climate of the planet Feders lives in. Cactus cactus may not survive on their planet, but how could Moseston know what I don't have here?"
Shao Dongyang has completely entered the role. He really took everything in front of him as a real thing, stood up, took the cactus on the windowsill, placed it in front of the computer, and asked, "Is this kind of plant not allowed?"
Shao Dongyang was stunned for a while when he saw the other party, he asked again: "What are you thinking?"
"Congratulations, the plants you provide can survive in the desert of the planet where Senior Feders is located..."
"So, we can trade, what can this plant be exchanged for?"
"What do you want to exchange for?"
"What price does Feders pay?" Shao Dongyang said in confusion.
"Children, when Senior Feders asked me to find items, they knew what I needed and set the price. There was no unified circulating currency among the interstellar liaison officers. In addition, your level is limited. At this time, you cannot communicate directly with Senior Feders. This transaction can only be completed through me, the intermediary..."
"I understand!" Shao Dongyang nodded, thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up. He immediately took out the Hero pen in the drawer, pulled out the nib of the 14k gold pen, and said with a smile: "I need this kind of metal. Of course, the less impurities inside, the better..."
"I need to use an appraiser to identify..."
Shao Dongyang saw Moseston freeze on the monitor again. After waiting for a while, he saw the other person's smile.
"Children, you have already made up your mind. The metal you need is the No. 79 element (the No. 79 element in the periodic table is gold) I don't have it here. Senior Fedes has a lot of it. He can provide a block of element 79 element with a purity of 999 per thousand. Wait a minute, I'll ask you, he is willing to exchange it at a price of one to one thousand."
"One kilogram of cactus can be exchanged for one gram of gold..." Shao Dongyang thought for a while in his mind and exclaimed: "I'm going to develop!"
Moseston showed a proud smile on his face, "Little boy, I forgot to say something, as a middleman, I have the right to draw half of the trading items..."
Shao Dongyang suddenly understood that everything in front of him was a little unreal. Perhaps he didn't completely think it was true, but he still couldn't help asking, "How to trade?"
"As long as you agree to the transaction, after a moment, the trading items you need will appear in front of you!"
"Okay, I agree to the deal!" Shao Dongyang said with a sceptical attitude.
In the blink of an eye, the cactus planted in the flower pot disappeared. Shao Dongyang was stunned for a moment, stared at the monitor, looked at the display for a few seconds, and found a yellow solid that was the size of a mung bean seeping out of the monitor. He quickly reached out to catch it, put it in his hand and looked at it. He was stunned for a while, and exclaimed: "All this is really incredible..."
At this time, Shao Dongyang did not doubt whether the yellow metal in his hand was gold. He was just surprised by what he saw. Although he was not sure about the purchase price of cactus and cactus, he knew that many places in China were suitable for planting, and in some foreign countries, he also planted in large quantities.
"I can buy at least a few dozen kilograms of cactus for a hundred yuan! If the other party said, the exchange was made at a price of one to one thousand (Shao Dongyang directly ignored half of the consumption), then the profit of this transaction could reach at least ten times..."
"Haha, kid, are you very excited now?"
"Yes!" Shao Dongyang did not hide the excited expression on his face.
"I understand your current mood. I remember that when I first became a liaison officer, it has been more than a hundred seasons since now..."
Shao Dongyang calmed down and asked, "Senior, is your time unit Ji?"
"Haha, kid, you also know how to use polite words. If you don't need my teachings, you will know that you are called senior!"
"Senior, you don't care about villains!" Shao Dongyang smiled awkwardly, "Senior, can you tell me about the interstellar liaison officer? How did I become the interstellar liaison officer?"
Moseston was stunned when he heard this and smiled, "To be honest, until now, I don't know what happened to the interstellar liaison officer..."
"What, why don't you know what the interstellar liaison is doing?"
"Kid, don't interrupt me first. Let me talk about how I became an interstellar liaison..."
Moseston fell into memories and murmured to himself: "It turns out that I am just a child of a very ordinary hunter. During a forest hunting, I saw a strange mirror on the wall of a cave. Through that mirror, I met Senior Feders. From then on, I also became a space liaison officer. By conducting interstellar transactions with Feders, I became a rich man..."
After hearing Moseston's words, Shao Dongyang fell into deep thought and suddenly asked again: "What are the guidelines we interstellar liaison officers need to follow?"
“Free transaction!”
"Who will we take care of? And if I trade with you, do I need to pay taxes?"
"Haha, kid, these two questions you asked are very accurate. From what I know, no one manages us at all. As for the transactions between us, there is no tax payment at all..."
Shao Dongyang nodded slightly and asked again: "Senior, you just said that you have been in the interstellar communication for more than a hundred quarters. How long will it take?"
"I really can't give an answer to this question right away. I need the unit of length of your interstellar liaison officer, and the unit of time is measured by the speed of light..."
Shao Dongyang took out a ruler from the pen holder on his desk, gestured a length of one decimeter, and said, "If this is the unit of length as the basis, how can I convert it?"
"The length unit you give is a minimum reference time unit, the unit name is 'seconds', 7200 seconds is one hour, 31,557,600 is one season..."
Shao Dongyangxin made up for a moment and was stunned. He found that the time unit "second" that Moseston said was basically the same as the time "second" on the earth. Moreover, the time unit in ancient China was almost the same (twelve hours a day).
"Are all this a coincidence? Seconds, hours, and what he said is the "season" equivalent to 365.25 days on the earth. Including Runnian, the time for the earth's revolution is almost 365.25 days. Is this a coincidence?"
Shao Dongyang knew that the rotation and rotation of each planet were different, and why did the interstellar liaison officer use the "unique" time unit on the earth, which made him wonder, "Senior, I think you are very young, how could you live so long?"
"This is the benefit of our interstellar liaison officers. We can increase our lifespan through various breakthroughs, such as drugs! Of course, the lifespan of intelligent life on each planet is different, and there is no fuss about it!" Moseston smiled heartily, and said, "But, if you want to increase your lifespan, the price is also very high, and it is not ordinary high! After all, life is only once, and if you lose your life, everything you have is gone!"
"I understand!" Shao Dongyang nodded and said. Did he know that the prices of health products are getting higher and higher now. People take health products just to live longer. Although the efficacy of those health products is really not satisfactory, "Senior, I provide a large amount of plants I just traded, and I need several times the transaction volume to buy medicines that increase life by a hundred seasons?"
"This requires me to test your body!"
"Then let's start..."
"It takes at least fifty million times!"
"..." Shao Dongyang opened his mouth wide and his thoughts paused for a moment. After reacting, he was surprised for some reason and took the small dumbbells from the bookcase from three kilograms. "Senior, I want to know how heavy this thing is..."
"Six jin."
"One pound is equivalent to five hundred grams. His 'jin' is almost the same concept as the 'jin' of China'!" Shao Dongyang muttered, but he didn't know how many cactus he sold. At the same time, in order to confirm how many cactus he needed to exchange for a hundred years of life, he asked: "How many jin of plants I just provided for in exchange for a hundred seasons of life?"
"Two million jin!"
"I didn't expect that a big cactus was so heavy, and it weighed four pounds!" Shao Dongyang muttered, and was immediately full of expectations. After all, longevity is very attractive to most people. "Two million pounds, the weight is not so exaggerated, nor is it impossible to accomplish!"
"Little kid, the number I just told you is only theoretical. If Senior Fedes didn't need such a plant, I wouldn't buy that plant from you at all. It would be of no use to me!"
"Haha!" Shao Dongyang smiled in a hoarse way, "That's right!"
"But don't worry, as far as I know, there are many deserts on the planet where Senior Feders is located. He ruled a country close to the edge of the desert. He needed a large number of plants that could grow on the desert. Moreover, as interstellar liaisons, we have long-term transactions, so we don't have to hurry..."
"Senior Feders is actually a king?"
"Nothing fuss, I will rule a powerful kingdom. It is a gift from the gods to us that we can become interstellar liaisons. Being a king is an easy thing... Kid, my meal time is up, and my conversation will end here. After three hours, we can continue chatting through the old ways..."
Before Shao Dongyang could react, Moseston had disappeared from the video.
"Why did this guy say hello and leave?" Shao Dongyang smiled bitterly, remained silent for a while, laughed at himself, and sighed: "Others are old birds who live in more than a hundred years old, and I am just a newbie who has just entered the industry..."
