Chapter 435: Adults Don't Make Choices
Genetic sequencing technology is the core technology of Dumat, and although it has not been completed until now, it has also made progress to a certain extent.
Mu Chen has long coveted this technology, and the reason why Dumats have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years depends on this technology.
Immortality is the highest pursuit of human beings, as early as ancient times, there were people who pursued the secret of immortality, and later there were various legends.
Earthlings have a slight advantage in the speed of reproduction, but compared to the alien race, the lifespan of about 100 years is still too short, and the vast majority of aliens live longer than earthlings.
With the improvement of medical technology, the average life expectancy of earthlings has also increased a lot, but it still does not reach the basic level of aliens.
Mu Chen hopes to use this technology of the Dumats to increase the average life expectancy of earthlings, so that the population shortage problem that has plagued the Earth Federation for many years can be completely solved.
With Proxima Centauri's nano-repair technology, maybe earthlings can live to be 200 years old.
It's a pity that Grand Duke Virat's attitude is very resolute, and he looks like he has no negotiation: "Mr. Mu Chen, this is absolutely impossible!" Why don't you change the conditions? ”
What can't be obtained is always in turmoil, and the more Grand Duke Verat refuses, the more interested Mu Chen is in this technology.
Once the lifespan of earthlings can be greatly extended, the mortality rate will be greatly reduced, the earth's population can lead to explosive growth, and so many habitable planets in the solar system can be developed more intensively.
The Reaper Fleet's southern and northern wars were not without gains, on the contrary, in many star systems, they had their own territories, and Mu Chen did not send people over to receive them for a long time, just because of the limitation of the number of people.
Although the military power can reflect the strength of the Earth Federation, in order to expand such an influence, it requires the joint efforts of all the people of the earth, and in the face of the vast and boundless universe, Mu Chen always feels that there is not enough manpower.
"Your Excellency, the lives of Dumats are precious, but the lives of our earthlings are not cheap." Mu Chen said with a cold face.
At the beginning, Mu Chen was forced to agree to exchange the life of the Space Force for the much-needed advanced technology, but now the situation is different, even without the technical support of the Dumats, the Earth Federation can gain a firm foothold in the cosmic forest.
"But your demands are too high, and it's hard for me to accept." Virat said in a tangled way that this technology will determine the future fate of the Dumats, and its value cannot be measured in money.
Once the problem of reproduction difficulties is solved, then the Dumats with advanced technology will definitely be developed and even become the most powerful force in the universe.
After sharing this technology with the earthlings, the future upside of the Dumats will be sealed, which is equivalent to handing over the first throne to others, which is a very difficult thing to accept.
Mu Chen sneered, the guy who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, do you think you still have the qualifications to refuse? Without the help of the Earth Federation, it would be impossible for the Dumats to withstand the attacks of the Automaters.
"That's a shame." Mu Chen pretended to say, "Without enough remuneration, it is impossible for the Earth Federation to easily offend the mechanical people, and I am not willing to do things that outweigh the losses." ”
"You can't do this, we have signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement between us." Grand Duke Virat said anxiously.
"Offensive and defensive alliances?" Mu Chen sneered, "When the Zerg army invaded the solar system, too
I didn't see you provide military support, not to mention that the original agreement only stipulated that the Earth Federation would help the Dumats get rid of the barbarians, which we have done well. ”
Desperately take advantage of it, and don't suffer a loss if you die? You have to see if Lao Tzu is willing to do it!
Today's Earth Federation no longer needs to look at anyone's eyes, and if you want to get help first, you must trade with a reciprocal reward.
Grand Duke Verat is very entangled, it seems that it is impossible to get the maximum help at a small price, but the genetic sequence modification technology is too important, it is the hard work of several generations.
And Mu Chen is right, the Earth Federation does not owe anything to the Dumats, they have fulfilled their original promise, and the only thing that can be used to make a fuss is the friendship between the two races.
But this kind of illusory thing is not worth a penny in the face of interests, even if the Earth Federation is ungrateful, Grand Duke Verat is helpless.
It can even appear insatiable, after all, the Dumats did choose to stand idly by when the Zerg invaded, and they were morally unstable.
"The Earth Federation is grateful for the technical support provided by the Dumats at the beginning, which helped us get through the most difficult times, but the Earthlings have paid enough for it, you can't ask us to do more." Mu Chen sighed and said.
"Mr. Mu Chen, do you really want to die without help? The Dumath Principality will not be able to withstand the attack of the Mechn, and it is likely to be wiped out. Grand Duke Verat said bitterly.
"Could it be that the lives of your Dumats are fate, and the lives of our earthlings are worthless?" Mu Chen said coldly.
If it weren't for the last resort, he didn't want to be an enemy of the mechanical clan at all, and he knew with his heels that this war would definitely be a heavy loss.
Grand Duke Verat thought seriously for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "You won, Mr. Mu Chen, I am willing to hand over the genetic sequence modification technology to you, but the Earth Federation must help the Dumate Principality get out of this war." ”
"Haha, that's a smart choice." Mu Chen said excitedly.
With this technology, the life span of earthlings can be greatly extended, and with nano-transformation technology, the comprehensive strength of earthlings will be greatly improved.
"I wonder when the Reaper fleet will depart?" Grand Duke Verat asked.
"There's no hurry, I've already made a statement to the cybarians, and if the war can't stop in 1 month, the Earth Federation will take action." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"But the Ursa Minors galaxy is in danger, and the cybromancers won't give us that much time." Grand Duke Virat said anxiously.
Mu Chen frowned: "You can't let me break my word, right?" ”
"Forgive me, this wasn't my intention, but with the ability of the Mechs, a one-month war would probably cause huge casualties, and it only took them 20 days to capture the Kontarids."
"No, I will never be a person who breaks his word and gets fat, and if I say that I will fight in 1 month, I can't advance it, otherwise where is there any credibility to speak of?" Mu Chen said firmly.
Sending charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are two different meanings, and if the Dumats do not experience the dangers of war, the meaning of the Earth Federation's efforts will be greatly reduced.
Since his family knows his own affairs, the reason why Grand Duke Verat is so impatient is because he knows very well that with the strength of the Dumats, I am afraid that he will not even be able to withstand the first round of attacks of the mechanical clan.
The Duchy of Dumat, with less than 100 million adult citizens, and many of them are civilians who are not proficient in warfare, and there is no chance of victory in the face of countless mechanical armies.
What's more, their current weapons are not significantly effective against the cyborgs, and even with all their might, they are difficult to fight.
After thinking about it, Grand Duke Verat understood what Mu Chen meant, obviously feeling that the remuneration was not enough.
Isn't this cunning earthling, isn't the genetic sequence modification technology enough to fill your puppet army?
As for the matter of credibility, Grand Duke Verat did not believe a word, it was just Mu Chen's excuse, when did the politician talk about credibility, not to mention the military promise, he had never seen a unit inform the enemy of his itinerary before going to war.
"Mr. Mu Chen, as long as you can form a line of defense in the Ursa Minor Galaxy in advance, I am willing to send the planetary kinetic energy technology to the Earth Federation as well." Verat said ruthlessly.
Anyway, the most important thing has been handed over, and the remaining chips are not so valuable.
This is what Mu Chen wants, children make choices, and adults all want it.
In fact, Mu Chen is also very interested in this planetary kinetic energy extraction technology, which may not be of much significance to the mother planet of the earth, but it is very suitable for use on planets where energy is scarce.
For example, by installing such a system on Mars, the energy problem of the entire Mars will be solved, and with the artificial atmosphere technology of the Earth Federation, Mars will soon be able to become a habitable and habitable planet.
And this technology and the Heavenly Sword weapon are simply a perfect match, the energy consumption of that kind of defensive weapon is extremely terrifying, and even the nuclear fusion reactor cannot withstand such a huge energy consumption.
But once there is planetary kinetic energy extraction technology, the Heavenly Sword weapon can be popularized, and if the Heavenly Sword defense system is installed on all the planets under the jurisdiction of the Earth Federation, then any kind of enemy invasion will be in vain.
In this way, the Earth Federation will become an existence with no defects in both offense and defense, and its strength will be greatly improved.
Advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, which is equivalent to solving the hidden dangers of the future in one fell swoop.
The Earth Federation will become an indestructible bunker, and if the Zerg dares to come to the door, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Other aliens who dare to covet the solar system will also have to weigh whether they can deal with the Earth Federation with strong defenses.
Mu Chen said with satisfaction: "I am touched by the sincerity of Grand Duke Virat, and I will consider it carefully. ”
Both got what they wanted, but it's hard to say who got the most out of it.
Grand Duke Verat succeeded in throwing the trouble of the mechanical invasion to Mu Chen, and won a chance at peace for the Duchy Dumat, as for how the Earth Federation would win, it was not something he should worry about.
And Mu Chen has also obtained the key technology that the Earth Federation urgently needs, and two more fruits have grown on the technology tree, but it is not an easy task to defeat the mechanical people, and Mu Chen himself has no bottom in his heart whether the Reaper Fleet can withstand the pressure.
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the electromagnetic pulse weapon experiment has been successful, and the results are remarkable......," Li Wenjing reported.
"Okay, immediately assemble the Reaper fleet." Mu Chen said lightly.
"But the research team hasn't solved the problem of accidentally injuring friendly soldiers."
"I don't care about it so much."
