Pirate Civilization wasn't foolish; they obviously knew such a trade was not economical.
Even though it seemed like a one-for-four exchange, the value on both sides was fundamentally unequal.
Thus, after deliberation, the high echelon of Pirate Civilization also put forth their new demands.
"We can offer the principles and usage experience of Space Energy Technology as a bargaining chip, but you will need to increase the value of your stake to match."
Pirate Civilization: "Our demands are, the first and second conditions remain unchanged; third, you need to hand over the material or method that can absorb Constant Star Hydrogen; fourth, although we still aren't clear about your relationship with that Metal Planet, it once destroyed one of our warships causing us heavy losses, you need to hand over that Metal Planet for us to deal with."
It must be said, Pirate Civilization's demands were quite tricky, evidently with ample negotiating experience.
