Chapter Ninety-Five: If You Can, You'll Be Born! If you can't, you die!
The communication with Albert was generally quite fruitful, especially in the sense of trust between each other, which was further enhanced, which made Lu Ming very satisfied.
However, there has been little progress on the tasks released by Juggernaut, and the methods Albert said are really difficult to achieve. Fortunately, Lu Ming didn't expect to solve all the problems at once, after all, the task had come to the fourth stage, and it was not so simple to complete it successfully.
However, these are not the places that Lu Ming needs to worry about at the moment, because a tricky event suddenly crossed in front of him.
"I'm against letting Albert continue his research, if he can't get his hands on those chips, there's no use value, we should just get rid of him. As a result, the federal government will be hit hard in many areas of research, which will silence them for a while, and we will have a chance to breathe. ”
In the cabin where they met for the first time, Lu Ming and the three giants of the Heijue Party reunited, unlike the previous interrogation targets, this time he entered the table as a "meritorious hero".
However, the atmosphere in this room was much more tense than last time, all because after Lu Ming finished talking about Albert and the implanted chip, he was opposed by the Big Three, and Unimet was the worst.
"Lord Unimet, Albert is saying that he can't make a chip that suits us at this stage, but through a period of research, he will definitely find a solution."
"Time? How much time? A year? Decade? Or a hundred years? And what reason do we have to trust him? Maybe he has the ability to make these chips at all, but he doesn't want to tell us, but uses this excuse to delay and wait for the federal government's rescue. ”
Unimet's voice was a little old, but his tone was unmistakable, and it was surprising that the other two giants had expressed a tacit attitude towards this.
The current situation caught Lu Ming a little off guard, Johnson had clearly told him before that even if the implanted chip could not be done, as long as Albert Ken worked for the Black Awakening Party, the Big Three would not put him to death, but the current situation is not like that at all.
"My lord, whether Albert is hiding something from us, none of us can tell. But keeping Albert alive clearly outweighs the disadvantages, and as long as he is willing to play for us, even if it is only one percent of his efforts, he will greatly improve us.
And the living Albert will always be a bargaining chip in our hands, which we can use to contain the federal government, and even exchange some favorable terms.
But if we kill him, it may cause the federal government to suffer a huge blow in a short time, but it will also inevitably cause the anger of the other party, and once the two sides start a war because of this, α City will be in danger! ”
In order to save Albert's life (in fact, he is also protecting the life of the entire team), Lu Ming tried his best to analyze the stakes of the matter, in order to make the Big Three change their minds.
Unexpectedly, Unimet directly slammed a document on the table and said sharply: "At stake? Hmph, we're in danger now! ”
Lu Ming picked up the document and remembered the voice of another giant, Liu Cixin, in his ears.
"I just received information that the federal government has begun preparations for an attack on α City, and it is expected that troops will be in the city in ten days, so Albert is of little significance to us."
I see!
Lu Ming now completely understands that the change in the attitude of the Big Three is entirely due to the change in the general situation. Perhaps at the beginning, they had the same idea as Lu Ming, using the living Albert to contain the federal government, making the other party jealous, and buying more time for their own development.
But who knew that the federal government didn't even give a chance to negotiate, and directly prepared to go to war, which greatly reduced Albert's value. In addition, he will not be able to make chips in the short term, nor will he be able to bring practical benefits to the Black Jue Party, and he may even be rescued by the federal government in the chaotic war, so it is better to kill him directly.
"After the last battle at the Superbase, our losses are not small, and we will definitely not be able to compete head-on with the federal government, so we can only engage in guerrilla warfare, and it will only be a burden to keep him." As an expert in warfare, Hu Sanye also expressed his opinions in a timely manner.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Lu Ming could only come up with his ultimate move.
"What if... If, ten days later, the federal government is struck by another force and has no time to care for us, can we spare Albert's life? ”
Lu Ming's words made the three giants stunned, and looked at him with some doubts.
"This time in the superbase, we met...
So, under Lu Ming's description, the new species of "New Human" appeared in front of the Big Three for the first time, and the clones of the Black Jue Party also knew about the existence of the robot army for the first time.
"This... How is this possible ... ”
"Robots have evolved intelligence and want to rule the Earth?"
"You're just talking nonsense!" Unlike Liu Cixin and Hu Sanye, who were full of doubts, Unimet didn't believe what Lu Ming said at all, and even scolded loudly: "It's pure nonsense! How can a cold machine evolve into life, do you think this is a science fiction story? ”
"My lord, I don't have the guts to make it up in front of you, everything is a fact that I have experienced it myself."
"Well, even if you're telling the truth. Then I ask you, how did you know their full plan, and how did you know that they were going to attack Earth in ten days' time. ”
Unimet's question hit the nail on the head, Shaq's identity could not be justified at all, and the information he brought back was naturally not convincing.
"I grabbed one of the robots and pressed them out for the news, but then he was blown up." Now, Lu Ming can only make it up.
"Hmph, it's still the same set of dead and unproven, that's what you said about the mole last time, who knows if it's true or false."
I don't know why, Lu Ming felt that today's Unimet was particularly aimed at himself, and he even said such words, which was completely inconsistent with his previous wise image.
However, Lu Ming is not a soft persimmon, he replied without humility or arrogance: "Lord Unimet, I know that I have joined the Black Jue Party for a short time and have little qualifications, but I asked myself if I have never done anything to be sorry for the Black Jue Party. Whether it was saving Johnson, killing Peter, or capturing Albert this time, I didn't rush to the front every time, and if it wasn't for luck, I would have died a dozen times. If I were a traitor and deliberately lied to you, the cost would be too high. ”
"You..."
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu Cixin finally stretched out his hands and pressed down, and said in a harmonious voice: "Why are you involved in the traitor again, Brother Lu, we didn't suspect you, otherwise we wouldn't have let you see this confidential information." As for Lord Unimet, it's just a matter of facts, and everything is for the good of our Black Awakening Party. ”
Liu Cixin was the leader after all, and two sentences appeased both sides, and after a short silence, he made a final decision: "I'll give Albert a week, and if the chip can be done, he will be born!" If you can't, you die! ”
