With Qiao Zhixue's intervention, what Dr. Lucas finally saw was not a group of men with styes, but the elite members of the superpower team.
As one of the main members of this exchange group, Dr. Lucas shook hands warmly with every member of the superpower team. He even tried to grab the deer's front hooves, but when he felt the deer's unfriendly eyes and recalled the previous whirlwind deer's angry kick at fire/arrows/cannons, he no longer tried to compare his hardness with that of the rocket launcher.
As the Minister of the National Technology Security Department and the leader of the whole thing, Minister Yu must of course be present.
From the dark circles under his eyes, it can be seen that he did not sleep last night. But at the same time, from the joy between his eyebrows, Liang Xian guessed that his superiors had let go and Minister Yu could take charge of the whole thing.
After shaking hands with the main members of the exchange group, Minister Yu asked everyone to take a seat. This was a small, enclosed meeting room, and everyone present was well-informed, so they could talk freely.
"After Dr. Lucas returned to China, he fully demonstrated the plasticity of superpowers to us, but we still have doubts about the degree of danger in the other world." After a round of greetings, the ambassador of the exchange group said, "In the video he brought back, we can't see any special substances, only an empty city and you. Although Dr. Lucas and the two soldiers can prove that there are dangerous unknown existences in the other world, considering the power of superpowers, we have reason to suspect that this is an incident directed and acted by you. It is really a bit unreasonable to exchange our country's most advanced technology with this evidence, unless you can provide more evidence."
Minister Yu and others saw from the ambassador's behavior that they actually believed most of the content, but they still wanted to bargain and find faults. More importantly, they wanted to get what they wanted through more contacts without any effort.
For example, if we bring a few more people into the "void", in case someone awakens the power to travel through space, the Chinese will no longer be needed.
Minister Yu anticipated this result, and they had the Tianshen No. 2. Even if the other party was not sincere, they had a backup plan to get the information in the memory chip, so they were not afraid that they would go back on their word.
However, we have already received the support of the country. Now it is other countries that need us, so we must be tough.
Minister Yu smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Ambassador. You can choose the person you like to enter the other world. If you really don't believe it, you can enter by yourself. The number of people is not a problem."
The ambassador frowned slightly: "But you said before that you can only bring three people at most."
"Oh, that's under the condition that the lives of three people are guaranteed." Minister Yu continued to maintain a social smile, "If there is no security guarantee, it doesn't matter how many people go in, but we can't guarantee how many can come back. But three people should be fine, Ambassador, you can count yourself as one of the three."
Minister Yu's answer was quite tough. He wanted to make his position clear to other countries. Prove that this is a global event, not just a matter for China. There is no point in arguing about it. If you keep being so dishonest, don't blame us for keeping it to ourselves.
There is a video screen at each seat in the conference room. It is an erasable handwriting computer that is not connected to the Internet, making it convenient for everyone to record some information.
At this moment, a line of words appeared on the computer in front of the members of the superpower team: Hey, if it were like in our world, if half of the people died at once, everyone would cooperate honestly. It’s so troublesome now. It makes me dizzy just by listening to it.
It’s God No. 2. He is being carried by Qiao Zhixue. Although his shell cannot move, his soul is free.
I connected to the satellite of their country through the mobile phone signals of the ambassador and the doctor, and I am looking for their secret base through satellite signals. These special mobile phones transmit messages through their own country's satellites. I can find all the people they have contacted on the satellite and thus determine the location of the research base.
So capable!
Everyone remained calm and watched the words on the computer slowly disappear.
Since it is a global event, it is impossible for China to remain immune to it. China cannot just sit and watch other countries fall.
But there are two core principles that cannot be changed:
First, the method to return to the real world must be mastered by China, at least fifty years before the end of the world;
Second, we can help other countries, which is our consistent diplomatic principle. But for some hegemonic countries, there is still a price to pay, after all, our team members also have to take risks.
The last time was just a test, and no fees were charged to the United States. It was considered a friendly gift, but after that, there was no such good thing.
When the negotiations reached a deadlock, Minister Yu suddenly asked, "I wonder what kind of supernatural power Dr. Lucas has awakened?"
Since the other party is unwilling to pay the price, then let's work harder. In order to get more superpowers, other countries must let more people come out alive from the "void", and Lucas's superpowers will make them more eager.
Lucas finally had a chance to speak. When the ambassador said he didn't believe their one-sided words, Lucas looked unhappy. But he should have been reminded before coming here that he would not speak easily even if he was offended.
After getting the chance, he immediately said: "My eyesight has improved, and I can see everything in the darkness without a trace of light. My learning ability and precision have improved, and my operational ability has also become stronger. Before visiting China again, I performed an operation with almost no hope. The patient was affected by the explosion and countless shrapnel entered his heart. No doctor dared to perform such an operation, but I felt I could do it. I had no medical experience, but the doctor only operated it once and I understood the principle, and accurately found 1,638 shrapnel in the patient's body. This is a miracle in medical history."
"What else?" Minister Yu frowned slightly.
No ability to turn into a fish? No 40-meter sword? What about precognition? No space, defense, alchemy, fire, earth, etc.
"Isn't that enough?" Lucas said excitedly, "With my current learning time, if I am given fifty years... no, forty years, I will be able to understand all the knowledge in the world and become an omniscient scholar."
Everyone: “…”
Such ability is indeed useful, but in front of a country, it does not seem to be as impactful and shocking as the deer.
From the perspective of the United States, they will definitely use memory chips as bait to get China to bring more people into the "hole". They need more power.
Minister Yu and Qiao Zhixue exchanged a glance, and Qiao Zhixue said, "I want 20% of the information, which is considered as the reward for the last time. From now on, it is up to you to decide how many people you bring in each time, but we cannot guarantee the survival rate, and the upper limit cannot exceed 100 people, and you are not allowed to bring weapons into the country. We need 20% of the information every time, which means that, including the first time, we can take you in five times at most. Whether you need us for the rest depends on what price you pay. The 20% must be paid for the first time, otherwise there will be no next time."
His face was rather cold and expressionless the entire time. After he finished speaking, he pushed his glasses and sat back.
"Hehe," Minister Yu said with a kind smile, "Our Professor Qiao is a professional scientific researcher and is not very flexible. Please understand."
But we still have to consider what Professor Qiao said. This is our attitude. Do we really think that we were doing useless work last time
Liang Xian raised his hand at this time, and Minister Yu signaled him to speak: "As the captain of the space team, I think Dr. Lucas does not need to enter again. His awakened superpowers are obviously not very effective in the face of disasters. We do not need such power. It will only take up quotas and hinder us."
Dr. Lucas was very angry, but he became cowardly when he saw Liang Xian's face. He recalled that it was this man who suddenly appeared in another world and saved everyone in their car.
Lucas whispered a few words in the ambassador's ear. He suspected that Liang Xian was the one who had the ability to travel through time and space and return to the real world.
The ambassador looked at Liang Xian and found that the captain was surprisingly young. The members of the superpower team were also surprisingly young. They were just students.
This doesn't make sense. Generally, when going to another world, people are selected who are physically fit and experienced, preferably around 30 years old. These players clearly don't meet the criteria. Why did China choose such a group of people to enter another world
Although he couldn't think of a reason at the moment, the ambassador had already decided to send more young people with the next hundred people.
Students are not allowed, so we can only choose from young soldiers.
After several hours of haggling, under the Minister's excellent brainwashing ability, the ambassador handed over 40% of the information, which was the price of bringing people last time and this time.
Tan Yan's expression was very solemn throughout the whole process. These 100 people, even if they were foreigners, were lives, and all lives were equal.
After the meeting, he said: "I will not watch them die, I will do my best to bring more people back."
After recovering his memory, Tan Yan seemed to have changed a little. He became more independent-minded, but Liang Xian could feel that his "core" had not changed.
Still the same kind and strong person.
Liang Xian felt that there must be something in common between the space traveler in the past and the young Tan Yan, which is why they could blend together perfectly.
The space traveler saved the struggling Tan Yan and lived for him for decades for a promise; Tan Yan also tried his best to protect everyone.
They will not turn a blind eye to anyone who respects life.
"Okay," Minister Yu nodded. "One hundred is the upper limit we set. If they really value their people and soldiers, they will still send three people according to the safety number. If they really send a hundred people, we can only protect the obedient ones among them while protecting our own people."
Minister Yu hinted to Tan Yan that they had set the trap, but he didn't have to fall into it. They gave the other party a choice, which was our country's goodwill. If the other party insisted on doing so, we would have no choice.
After all, they cannot overcome the greed of others.
Tu Zishi suddenly staggered, and Qiu Qizheng, who was standing beside him, helped him up. Qiu Qizheng was about to ask him what was wrong, but Tu Zishi waved his hand, signaling him not to ask.
He saw a not-too-distant future in which they stood in a cemetery, dressed in black and holding white flowers in their hands.
Minister Yu was standing in front of a tombstone and saying something. The sky of City B, which was usually gloomy, was extremely clear. The sky above was a sad blue without even a white cloud.
The sun shines on the tombstone, but there is no word engraved on it.
But he instinctively knew whose tombstone it was. Standing in front of it, he felt sad yet excited, as if there was hope for the future again.
Why is this happening
The author has something to say: Ancient Greek mythology tells us that if we don’t want to be fooled by fate, we should not believe in prophecies, because they are just puppet shows of gods. —by Qing Stolsky Yi
A few words:
I recommend two articles. One is "Lord of Mysteries" by Wu Ze Da Da from Qidian. Lan Qing recommended "House of Horrors" before, and I think it is very good. My comment is that it is too good. As for this "Lord of Mysteries", my comment is that it is a fairy grass on earth. How can there be such a good article written by humans in the world? It is the first article that makes me feel the same sense of perfection as Fullmetal Alchemist. The author is so amazing. After reading it, I feel ashamed and feel that what I wrote is really a pile of mud. It is really a world of difference. It is too good! So during this period of time, I have doubted my own articles. Maybe I am just imitating others but still can't compare. I am so sad. But I will still work hard to adjust the outline and write steadily. I have been a little decadent recently, and I have lost my perfect attendance, but I will cheer up and draw a perfect circle for this article.
The second article is a cute little article "They all said I met a ghost" that will be published in January next year after the article of Lan Qing is finished. It is the first one in the column. If you pass by, please click to collect it~~~
I will definitely see you at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. If I don’t see you, then scold me, beat me, negatively comment on me, moonstone me, and spit on me!
