Chapter 410: Betting
Paulus had already left, and there were only three people in the pavilion, Kabakas, Su Yichen, and Luo Yan, and the three of them sat down at the table in the pavilion, and Su Yichen and his wife and Kabakas sat on one side.
For the previous apology of Kabakas, Su Yichen and his wife did not forgive each other, after all, the damage caused by the two wars to the earth civilization was too deep, and just an apology could not eliminate the estrangement between the two sides at all, but for political purposes and politeness, Su Yichen and his wife still stayed, and more importantly, they were still curious about why Kabakas had to meet them before cooperating with the Earth Federation.
Su Yichen and his wife didn't speak, and waited quietly for the other party to speak first, Kabakas smiled and took out a small device from his pocket and put it on the table.
This device Su Yichen recognized it at a glance, this is a small signal jammer, it has the ability to shield and interfere with the detection of signals, although it is not big, only the size of a matchbox, but its effect is very good, in a certain confidential place to ensure the secrecy of the conversation will often be used.
This signal jammer is something from the Earth Federation military, it is estimated that Kabakas asked the federal government or the military for it, and now he took out this thing, and pressed the start button above in front of Su Yichen and his wife, and after a slight tick, the signal jammer began to work.
"I'm very sorry, but I think this is necessary for our conversation, you and Madame don't mind, right?" Kabakas asked with a smile and pointing to the signal jammer.
Su Yichen and Luo Yan shook their heads silently, but they were a little disappreciative in their hearts, did Kabakas think that he could use this thing to ensure confidentiality? You must know that Su Yichen and his wife reported the content of the conversation to the federal government afterwards, what is the point of using this gadget?
As if seeing the other party's thoughts, Kabakas smiled again, and he said, "You two must be curious why I insist on seeing you first before I am willing to cooperate with your civilization?" ”
"Say it. What are your plans to do this? Su Yichen asked blandly.
"Plans? No, no, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, the two of you are not ordinary people, I don't have any intention of thinking about you, in fact, I just want to see you just a few questions to verify in front of the two of you. ”
"Questions?"
"Yes." Kabakas nodded, and then there was a subtle look in his gaze: "Mr. Su." The Rand remnant base at Pluto Base includes a base on Earth, can you tell me what's going on? ”
Su Yichen and Luo Yan never thought that Kabakas wanted to see him and ask this question, and they were immediately a little surprised, because they had pondered Kabacas's intentions before they came, whether it was that he wanted to obtain greater benefits in cooperating with the Earth Federation through Su Yichen and his wife, or he planned to win over the Blue Star Civilization through them or other attempts, but they didn't expect that what Kabakas was concerned about was actually the matter of the Rand Civilization Base.
Glancing at each other silently, Luo Yan opened his mouth and asked rhetorically: "The remnant base of the Rand civilization should be no stranger to Mr. Kabakas, you have seen the powerful ...... of the two bases with your own eyes when you first arrived in the solar system. ”
"No, no, ma'am, you misunderstood." didn't wait for Luo Yan to finish speaking. Kabakas waved his hand and said, "I don't want to know any secrets about the base, let alone know the true strength of your civilization, I just want to ask the two of you for a few things." ”
"What's the matter?"
"If my guess is correct, Mr. and Mrs. Su should be the authority holders of the two bases, right?" Kabakas asked suddenly.
Su Yichen subconsciously squinted his eyes, and even Luo Yan beside him was slightly stunned. Kabakas guessed half correctly about the authority of the base, Su Yichen, as the temporary candidate, is indeed the authority holder of the two bases, but Luo Yan is not. And after they came back this time, due to the acquisition of the Homeland, Su Yichen found that his basic authority over the Pluto base had been upgraded. Although the permissions have not yet reached the maximum level of permission, they are much higher than the previous permissions. What's more. Although the earth base is still sleeping, Su Yichen has obtained the higher authority of the Pluto base and the further authority of the earth base, which means that he is no longer the temporary permission of the earth base back then, from a certain concept, if Su Yichen is willing, he can wake up the earth base at any time, and control it with the same authority as the Pluto base.
But no one knows about this situation except Luo Yan. It can be said that the entire earth civilization, including the cosmic civilization of the entire galaxy, is only the husband and wife who know this secret. For not reporting the true level of authority to the federal government, Su Yichen and his wife have considered it, once they report this situation, then it will be impossible for them to live like ordinary people in the future. Especially the strength of the earth base compared to the Pluto base will inevitably attract the attention of the entire earth civilization, and at that time, Su Yichen and his wife may not be able to get out again.
In addition to that, there is their concern about the current development of civilization on Earth. The scientific and technological progress of the entire earth civilization is too fast, from the late stage of the original primitive civilization to the current second-level cosmic civilization, and even the earth civilization that is advancing towards the ranks of the third-level cosmic civilization, there is only a short period of more than 400 years, which is an unprecedented situation for the cosmic civilization of the entire galaxy.
What's more, the Homeland spaceship they carried when they returned, this spaceship built by the highest technology of the Rand civilization has opened a door to the development of the earth civilization, if nothing else, it will not be difficult for the earth civilization to develop to a third-level cosmic civilization within a hundred years, but with the rapid expansion of the earth civilization at such a fast speed, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Su Yichen and his wife can't judge this.
Although they can't judge the results, as scientists, they know better that scientific progress requires basic accumulation, and the progress of the entire civilization should be the same as the accumulation of science.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Su Yichen and his wife quietly concealed this matter, of course, in the future, if they feel that it is necessary, they will still hand over the earth base to the earth civilization, after all, as a member of the earthlings, they are also a part of the civilization.
But they didn't expect it. Did he know anything about Kabakas who asked such a thing bluntly? This is absolutely impossible, even if Su Yichen has the basic authority of the Pluto base, only some high-level figures in the earth civilization know about it, and ordinary high-ranking officials and generals don't know about it, let alone a Balk hidden in the Gaia civilization.
"Permissions? You're joking, aren't you? Su Yichen quickly hid the surprise in his heart, and deliberately asked with a strange expression: "Don't you know that we are just ordinary people now?" 1. Do not serve in the federal government. The second is not a position in the Federal Academy of Sciences, we are just two ordinary teachers....... ”
"Mr. Su, do you think I'll believe this?" Kabakas interrupted Su Yichen's words, he glanced deeply at Su Yichen and his wife, and sighed: "Of course, it is too inappropriate for me to ask the two of you this question, so let's do it, I want to make an exchange with the two." ”
"Swap?" What medicine is sold in the gourd of Kabakas? What exactly does he want to do?
Just when Su Yichen and his wife couldn't figure out the true intention of Kabakas, they saw Kabakas take out a small box from his pocket. Then it was placed on the table.
"Yes, exchange! I want to exchange this item for the trust and support of both of you. ”
"...... this?" Su Yichen and his wife looked at the small box and were puzzled, and at the same time, they didn't understand what the trust and support that Kabakas was talking about.
And all this when Kabakas opened the small box in front of Su Yichen and revealed the contents inside, both Su Yichen and Luo Yan were stunned.
"This ......! This is......! ”
Su Yichen and Luo Yan almost shouted, but the consternation in their eyes couldn't be hidden, and they even looked like they had seen a ghost, because what was in this small box was actually a small pyramid. And this small pyramid they recognized at a glance, it was exactly the same as the small pyramid of the Rand civilization that Su Yichen obtained.
What the hell is this little pyramid. In the entire universe, except for the Rand civilization, I am afraid that only Su Yichen and his wife know best, this small pyramid is actually another part of the entire equipment, and when the two small pyramids are combined, it is a wonderful hourglass, according to Galen, it represents time, and it is also a time visualization and a change in timeline. So as to achieve the key thing for the purpose of ascension.
On that primitive civilization planet, Galen once carefully explained to Su Yichen the wonderful use of this equipment, it is the crystallization of the highest technology of the Rand civilization, and it can even be said that its true value and role are far higher than that of the homeland spaceship. Su Yichen The small pyramid they found on the broken commercial spaceship was half of this equipment, and after returning to Earth. This small pyramid is still well preserved by Su Yichen, and no one except the husband and wife knows what it really does.
But he didn't expect that Kabakas actually took out another small pyramid, although Su Yichen didn't compare it with his own small pyramid in his hand, but he could still determine at a glance that this was most likely another part of his small pyramid that was lost, that is to say, if the two pyramids were combined, it would be able to restore its original appearance, and even restore its original function.
When he saw Su Yichen showing a shocked and shocked expression at the same time, Kabakas's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As one of the last remaining members of the Balk civilization, Kabakas spent his life fighting for his goals. Revenge and the revival of his own civilization have become the only thing in Kabakas's inner world, and he has done so, and over the years, his family has spent countless hours and generations of efforts, even at the cost of provoking a war between the two civilizations to achieve his goal. From the eyes of the Gaians, Kabacas is a traitor to the Gaian civilization and the main culprit responsible for the weakness of the Gaian civilization today. In the eyes of the earthlings, Kabacas is an accomplice of the Gaia civilization and a criminal whose hands are stained with the blood of the earthlings. In the eyes of the remnants of the Balk civilization, Kabakas is their hero, a true hero who endured humiliation and almost succeeded.
Depending on the starting point, the results obtained are also different. And until now, Kabakas still has not admitted that he has completely failed, because although he escaped from the Gaia civilization, due to the existence of the Earth civilization, there is still one last chance for Kabakas.
But as an old fox, a man who has spent his whole life in conspiracy, Kabakas thinks more. Revenge is one purpose, reviving the Balk civilization is another, even if he cooperates with the earth civilization now, Kabakas will never fully believe in the promise of the earthlings, for Kabacas, who has been betrayed by the Gaia people and has learned a profound lesson, how can he pin all his hopes on cooperation with completely unequal strength?
In fact, it is precisely this reason that makes Kabakas ask to see Su Yichen and his wife before starting a real cooperation with the Earth Federation, in his opinion, only to ensure that the Balk civilization is revived at the same time after completing the revenge, is the real victory, and once the earth civilization turns its face and does not recognize people, what ability does he have to compete with the entire earth civilization? So he had to solve this problem and relieve his worries.
The reason why he chose Su Yichen and his wife, Kabakas was carefully considered, in fact, Kabakas knew about Su Yichen and his wife through some channels during the first war, especially the existence of Su Yichen. Moreover, in so many years, Kabakas has never given up searching for information about Su Yichen and his wife, and the conclusions drawn based on the analysis of these information also tell him that in the earth civilization, this couple is extremely special, and they can even be said to be the key figures who led the entire earth civilization to advance from the primitive civilization to the current level of second-level cosmic civilization. More importantly, the defeat of the Gaia in the two wars is inseparable from Su Yichen and his wife.
More importantly, they hold the authority of the Rand civilization base, and they are not politicians or soldiers, they are just brilliant scientists. These are enough for Kabakas, if he cooperates with Su Yichen and his wife, and gets their commitment and support, it will be more reliable for Kabakas than the promise of the entire Earth Civilization Federal Government. This old guy has been calculating people all his life, and this vision is extremely conceited.
And now, when he took out an extremely precious thing as a bargaining chip, and saw the astonishment and shock expressed by Su Yichen and his wife, Kabakas knew in his heart that all his guesses were correct. (To be continued......)
