Chapter 146 Analysis of letters (2)

"Not to mention what they can give us in the future, what can we give us now?" This is the first question at this stage of the meeting. The person asked was 722, and he is already a relatively senior manager.

"There is no doubt that we can give them all kinds of technologies. After all, our technology is generally dominant compared to them." 660 replied.

"But what kind of technology should we give them? If we put our existing technology into them, is this the best way?" 722 continued to ask.

"If we can give them all our skills, it is indeed a very good thing for them, and I originally planned to do it. But I remembered a proverb: A bowl of rice has a benefactor, and a load of rice has a enemy. If you give too much at once, it is not a good choice for us or them."

"What's the better option?" 590 asked.

"A better choice is naturally long-term, sustainable transactions and cooperation. Commonly known as long-term flow." 623 said.

660 nodded and said, "Yes, this is actually my idea. Since ancient times, one-time transactions have always been the most likely to have disputes. Long-term stability, but cooperation that can punish breach of contract can easily achieve Pareto's optimality. This is proven by game theory. What we need to consider now is what technology to give them first."

Everyone thought for a moment, and 623 said: "How about controllable nuclear fusion technology?"

"Controllable nuclear fusion technology needs to be given, but I thought I didn't want it this time." 590 said.

"Why is this?" 623 asked.

590 said: "Controllable nuclear fusion technology is not actually isolated. It has some pre-technology. If these technologies do not break through, a civilization will not be able to master the controllable nuclear fusion technology at all. That is, it will be given for free if you give it."

722 interrupted at this time: "Actually, I also oppose giving them controllable nuclear fusion technology now. But my reason is exactly the opposite of 590. I think that Ruyi allows them to master controllable nuclear fusion technology too early, and they may develop quickly and become our new enemies. And they will not only be our enemies, but they will also become enemies of other sub-civilizations that we sow in space."

590 said in confusion: "We are currently under a serious threat from the Three-Body Man. Is it too early to consider the next enemy?"

722 explained, "It's not like this. It's always good to plan ahead. Moreover, our Earth civilization once had a lot of eto, so the possibility of our sub-civilization and our opposition is completely there. Letting their tech tree grow too high all of a sudden is very risky for us."

"That's right, and there is another point. We started with our old leaders. What is our strategy to defeat the Three-Body Man? It is diversity. If one of our sub-civilizations grows too fast and extinguish other sub-civilizations, the advantages of diversification will be lost. Controllable nuclear fusion technology is not for them, but it is too early to give it to them anyway. Let's first think about what technology is more practical for them and the threshold for them is low enough." 660 set a tone.

"How about metal hydrogen?" asked 745. Hydrogen is the most familiar chemical element. It is a gas at room temperature and can become a liquid at low temperatures. When the temperature drops to minus 259℃, it is a solid. If a high pressure of millions of atmospheric pressure is applied to the solid hydrogen, it may become metal hydrogen.

In the metal state, hydrogen molecules will split into single hydrogen atoms and enable electrons to move freely. In metal hydrogen, hydrogen chemical bonds break, and the bound electrons in the molecule are squeezed into public electrons. This free movement of electrons makes metal hydrogen have the conductivity properties. Therefore, the key to making hydrogen into metal is to free electrons from the constraints of atoms and convert covalent bonds into metal bonds.

Metal hydrogen is a high-density, high-energy storage material. Previous predictions have shown that metal hydrogen is a room temperature superconductor.
