Chapter 713: Loyalty or Treachery?
Excited, Ryan almost didn't press the alarm in his hand!
"You...... Do you want to sell this technology to us? Ryan swallowed.
The strategic value of this technology, as an elite-level intelligence officer, naturally does not understand.
"Of course, don't you think it's worth 20,000 tons of energy crystals?" Nie Yun said with a smile.
The three wormhole expansion devices of the Locke Consortium had been taken away by Klorus before he expected that the wormhole would be lost, and then directly destroyed, and even the wreckage was carefully recovered one by one.
However, Nie Yun was faster, and he had already sent a sneaking spy to "eat" it.
Carl, an astrophysicist at the Cloud Research Institute, is the main person in charge of the reverse engineering of the "wormhole expansion technology".
After this period of experiments and research, the design drawings of the device have been restored, and the related basic natural disciplines are also actively tackling.
As a result, the earth's civilization has lit up high-end disciplines such as "cosmic tides", "wormhole formation mechanism", "primary space transition", and "preliminary conjecture of dark energy...... The fur!
Even with the current scientific research team of the Earth civilization, this super technology that the Woolf Empire has gradually developed and perfected after thousands of years is not something they can digest in a short period of time.
However, Carl's theoretical conjecture about wormholes has basically been formed!
The universe is like an ocean, and wormholes are like whirlpools in the ocean.
Ocean whirlpools are formed by laminar currents, submarine cavities, vortex concentrations and other factors, while wormholes in the universe are formed by the combined action of cosmic tides, dark energy potential differences and other factors.
Cosmic wormholes, formed at the fierce intersection of cosmic tides, will also disappear naturally due to the ebb and flow of cosmic tides.
The time scales of formation and disappearance can be long or short, some still exist after tens of thousands of years, while others only last for a few months before dissipating spontaneously.
And as scientists from the same twin star had previously guessed, the precursor to the "wormhole expansion technology" is the "wormhole charging technology".
To put it simply, it is to inject excessive energy into the wormhole when it is charged at the limit, so as to achieve the purpose of causing it to expand unnaturally.
Using this technology, the Woolf Empire was unable to artificially create wormholes, but it was able to permanently solidify a naturally occurring wormhole and even continue to expand.
"This ......" Ryan was a little unsure.
Is 20,000 tons of energy crystal too much?
Of course, this is an unimaginably large sum of money, enough for the battered Gemini to recover quickly from the post-war period.
However, the Woolf Empire's unique "wormhole expansion technology" is a super technology that can make the basic science of the Gemini civilization develop by leaps and bounds, and have an additional strategic skill!
One is the immediate wealth, and the other is the potential for future development.
Is it to choose the immediate reluctance, or the poetry and the distance?
"I'm afraid this is beyond my purview, and I need to ask the council to make a decision." Ryan smiled bitterly, "But I want to take the liberty of asking, ...... the source of this technology"
"Hmmm! Yes, this is indeed from the Woolf Empire! Nie Yun didn't hide it, of course, the truth was followed by a lie.
"Our Gemini Chapter cost a lot to buy it from the Woolf Chapter."
Ryan was shocked when he heard this, "They even sell this kind of technology for pressing the bottom of the box?" β
"Huh! The members of the organization come from all civilizations and all walks of life, and we have different identities and naturally uphold different positions.
Like me, there are people who are dedicatedly concerned about the development and survival of civilization, and naturally there are also people who do not hesitate to sell the core interests of civilization for their own selfish interests! β
Ryan: "......"
You? Exhausted for the development and survival of civilization?
As if seeing the thoughts on Lane's face, Nie Yun raised his head and smiled miserably.
"Huh! How? Do you think that if you join the One Society, you must be the enemy of civilization? Let me ask you, have I done anything to the detriment of civilization so far? β
"Yes! Water of Life! Ryan immediately gave an example.
The Black Butler first appeared in order to snatch the water of life from Kara Star with the Twin Stars, and the final result is known to everyone, the Black Butler operated as fiercely as a tiger, and successfully placed the Twin Stars together and successfully captured the treasure.
On the Gemini side, they can only obtain a small amount of eaux-de-vie on a regular basis, and the loss is not insignificant.
How do you explain this?
"Yes, I robbed the water of life from ownership, but this thing is more valuable in my hands than in the hands of the council.
Do you know what the 'wormhole expansion technology' was exchanged for this time? That's right, a lot of eaux-de-vie!
Only the vast commercial network of the Society of All Things to One can maximize the value of this treasure, and if it falls into the hands of the Council, it will only become a confinement for a few!
I have specially given a certain share of the eaux-de-vie, which is completely sufficient for scientific research.
So on the whole, except for letting a few old immortals be buried as soon as possible, I didn't cause any substantial damage to civilization! β
"This ......," Ryan retorted a little.
What did the other party say...... Seems to make some sense?
Naturally, he had heard about the internal distribution of the eaux-de-vie, and it was said that only a small part of it went to the research institute, as for the rest......
Well, if you think about it any longer, maybe the parliamentary gendarmerie will have to come to me for tea......
"But what you did before...... Ryan hesitated.
"Huh! The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it!
Everything I have done is worthy of civilization and the people, I think I ...... In all conscience!
It seems to me that the vast majority of people are blinded by innate pride and prejudice and cannot see the reality of the world.
If you can put aside my identity and position and evaluate my merits and demerits fairly and justly, then you will find that it is me who has gone to great lengths to build a buffer zone in the solar system and separate civilization from the Ante Empire, which is completely invincible!
It was I who facilitated the trade in blank crystals, greatly alleviated the financial crisis of the Parliament, and provided ample funds for the war.
It was I who established the Karaxing Free Trade Zone, stimulated foreign demand, created a large trade surplus for civilization, earned foreign exchange and income, and stimulated the economy.
It was also I, who half-sold and half-gave you the "Encyclopedia of the Woolf Empire" to remind civilization to be vigilant and guard against strong enemies.
Or I, at the time of civilization's survival, paid a huge price unimaginable to ordinary people to persuade the organization to sanction the Locke Consortium.
With a cosmic wonder of no value, with the help of force, the power of the organization was used to force the invaders to retreat, in exchange for the respite of civilization, and a quarter of the territory and hundreds of millions of civilians were saved!
You said...... Am I loyal or traitor? β
Ryan: "......"
His eyes were blank.
Is it loyalty? Is it a traitor? I can't tell the difference between stupid and stupid......
Obviously, a moment ago, I was trying to get close to the villain of the investigation, but after such an official explanation from the other party......
Seem...... Did the other party really silently make N more contributions to the Gemini civilization?
If it's really as the other party said, these credits add up...... Shall we award him a medal of the Peerless Warrior, which represents the highest honor of the Gemini Stars?
"Then why don't you just take a stand and work deeply with the Parliament? If the two sides can be honest with each other, it may not be impossible to make civilization go further! Ryan asked one last question.
"Huh! In-depth cooperation with the Parliament? Looking back now, I was ...... Isn't it as naΓ―ve as you......"
Nie Yun turned his back and stood with his hands in his hands.
The tone, the indescribable vicissitudes of life, the back, the indescribable gloom and loneliness.
Ryan understood the meaning of the words.
This man ...... Hurt!
Perhaps, the other party is also forced to choose to silently contribute to civilization in a way that is criticized and spurned......
After all, who would choose to walk in the darkness if they can be in the light?
Sometimes, if you want to stay, you can't stay, it's the loneliest......
