Chapter 503: Interstellar currency

After Li Hao wrote the advice to the country, he looked at the translated material to Parrot.
When he saw a certain document, the pupils of his eyes were enlarged, and his face was surprised.
I immediately picked up this information and read it carefully.
介绍 The content introduced in this material is very simple, it is the introduction of economic and civilized transactions. As a measure of the value of an item.
Only after the emergence of currency can transactions enter a state of prosperity.
From the history of the earth's civilization, transactions have developed from the barter stage to the currency trade stage.
交易 The transactions between interstellar civilizations cannot be carried out by barter.
Because the plate of the entire transaction is too large, the value of the transaction is different for each civilization.
If you change things, there will definitely be a loss for civilization. It cannot be continued for a long time, and it is only kept in a small trading circle in the end and cannot be expanded.
It will not be able to dominate the entire trading market and survive for a long time.
交易 For transactions between different civilizations, currency must be used to guarantee the value, and as far as possible, all civilizations are satisfied.
As a currency used between interstellar civilizations, it must be fused after a long collision.
From the perspective of the development of various civilization systems on the earth, in the early stages, currencies were generally very high value products.
For example, in ancient times, ancestors thought that shells were of higher value. Use shells as money.
With the development of civilization, especially the improvement of smelting technology.
People have found that copper, silver, gold and other metals have the characteristics of stable properties, scarce reserves, and exquisite appearance.
They are generally used as currency for transactions to measure the value of all items.
Now has entered the credit era, the value of the currency is guaranteed by the country's credit.
But among the interstellar civilizations, credit currency cannot be used. After all, the Star Alliance is unable to overpower all civilizations and adopt his currency. Not to mention credit currency.
Interstellar currency is matter and energy.
It is based on standard energy. A standard energy can support sub-light speed flight for one minute.
It is roughly equivalent to the total power consumption of China in one day.
But almost all civilizations entering the interstellar era have mastered nuclear fusion technology or gravitational power generation technology.
They can get very cheap energy.
Except for energy blocks that have undergone high-intensity compression, they have transaction value, and no other energy has transaction value.
内部 The energy inside an energy block can provide energy reserves for a year of sub-light speed flight, occupying a very small space.
The most important thing is that the energy can be output in an instant and the adaptability is very strong. It is mainly used as an energy source for interstellar weapons.
The reason why 用 uses standard energy as a measure of money.
Is because it has a very simple value calibration.
No matter which civilization it is, as long as it enters the interstellar era, it comes into contact with sub-light speed flight.
I know the value of energy consumed by flying for a period of time.
标记 Use standard energy to mark, no matter what kind of interstellar civilization.
He can easily judge the value of various materials, and there will be no misunderstanding caused by cognitive biases, which facilitates the trading activities of various civilizations.
Li Hao smiled when he saw this explanation.
设定 This setting is a rule formed by interstellar civilizations through long exploration.
I don't say that this setting is the most perfect, but it is the most easily accepted by everyone.
When Li Hao continued to check the interstellar civilization transaction, what is the common currency used?
After reading it, he was taken aback. Ordinary currency turned out to be a pure element.
This pure element must separate its isotopes and not be doped with other substances.
Their value fluctuates greatly. The cheapest are hydrogen and helium. The most expensive are actually metals such as gold and lead.
Li Hao is curious why this happened? If the value of nuclear power is arranged according to the number of nuclear power, the value should be higher.
Plutonium can be used as nuclear fission element uranium, which is not as valuable as carbon. This really surprised him.
衡量 The value measurement between alien civilizations, exactly what standards are implemented, has led to such a big difference with others.
Li Hao through detailed viewing, Star Pirate profile. Only then figured out why this happened.
Because elements such as hydrogen and helium are widely present in the universe, as long as they enter the civilization of the interstellar era. They only need a few spacecraft and a trawl.
I can obtain these resources in large quantities, resulting in a very low value for these resources.
The value of plutonium element is indeed arranged according to the number of nuclear power cores in the periodic table.
Because of the change of nuclear power nuclear number, it has a great relationship with the generation of elements.
The higher the element's nuclear charge number, the more difficult it is to generate conditions. The lower their storage in the universe.
The more rare things are, the more valuable they are. This eternal truth also takes effect in the universe.
Most elements are produced by fission or fusion.
大部分 Most of the stable elements in the universe are generated by fusion.
As a transition element, thorium iron produces elements with fewer nuclear power than iron, and when a nuclear fusion reaction occurs, a large amount of energy is released.
Plutonium fusion generates elements with more nuclear charges than iron, and when it undergoes a nuclear fusion reaction, it will absorb a large amount of energy.
So elements with more nuclear charges than iron can only be generated in the center of the star.
In other words, all elements with nuclear power greater than iron have the remains of stars.
Plutonium is precisely because of this extreme living condition, the element with higher nuclear charge number. Their total mass in the universe is very scarce and is more valuable than other elements.
In addition to the condition of nuclear power nuclear number, there is another important condition for measuring element value, which is stability.
Li Hao sees the detailed introduction, only the stable elements can be processed into various equipment in depth.
Its storage time is also very long ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It can be stored for more than tens of thousands of years without deterioration.
Plutonium determines whether an element is stable, depending on whether its nuclear constraints are strong.
In other words, is this element radioactive?
Every element that is radioactive is not a stable element, and its value is extremely low in the universe.
After reading the detailed introduction, Li Hao finally understood what currency is among the civilizations of the universe.
In cosmic trading, large transactions usually use energy blocks. The value of one energy block is equal to 550,000 standard energy.
One hundred kilograms of pure lead metal is worth 100 kilograms of pure gold metal equal to one standard energy.
Li Hao is extremely happy to see this value conversion ratio.
In the early stages, the metal exchange value of alien civilization and human civilization are very different.
Even if he is the master of exchange rate, he can get mixed up.
But Li Hao's ambition is not so low-level. He is most pleased that human civilization can take out interstellar currency and purchase various materials.
Only if the money in his hand can be spent, he will produce the greatest value.
There is nothing more painful for me than having too much currency in my hand, but I can't buy what I need. Fortunately, this did not happen.
