Chapter 137: Turning to normal communication
Although it was a little different from what he thought in his heart, Zhou Xin still guessed the identity of the young man at once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Looking at your expression, it seems a little surprised to see me?" After Zhou Xin and the young man looked at each other, the young man asked.
"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded, "I didn't expect that as the leader of the community, you would be so young. β
Seeing that Zhou Xin guessed his identity, the young man was not surprised, "I just took over this important task." In response to this question, there was sadness in his tone that could not be concealed.
Although Zhou Xin had already heard the abnormality in the young man's tone, seeing that the other party did not continue, he did not ask more. Then Zhou Xin went straight to the topic and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Zhou Xin, the captain of the Voyager, from a distant earth. β
What made Zhou Xin feel strange was that even though everything was heard for the first time, the young man did not raise any doubts about Zhou Xin's self-introduction, but said directly: "Hello, I am Demancha, the current leader of the Kazran-Eun community, a member of the Kazlan tribe. β
"My name is Pro, Eun." After Demancha introduced himself, Pro, who was standing next to him, also briefly introduced himself.
After a brief self-introduction by both parties, seeing that Zhou Xin was still looking at him with a puzzled gaze, Demancha asked, "What?" Do you seem to have any doubts? β
"I'm surprised, why didn't you suspect my identity like Puro?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xin finally asked this question.
"Because of your previous answer." Hearing Zhou Xin's question, Demancha smiled, and then he pointed to the door, "I've been listening to the door for a long time, and many of the questions they ask are very strange, if you answer according to what you have prepared in advance, you can't think of and can't deal with these questions at all." But you can answer these weird questions right away. But if you were just able to answer right away, I might think it was just your ability to adapt on the spot. However, without knowing what to expect next, all the answers you make are still free of any contradiction and still maintain logical coherence. After a pause, he concluded, "That only means that the answer you gave is your own personal experience." It would be terrible to say that what you said in this case could have been made up in advance. β
"I didn't expect that the answer that was just boring to pass the time could have this effect." After listening to Demancha's explanation, Zhou Xin also said with a smile, "It's not in vain that I wasted so much saliva." β
"No waste, no waste." After saying this with a smile, Demancha's expression became serious, "But I'm not without doubts, listening to Pro, you seem to want to help us." I wonder what is the purpose behind your efforts to help us? β
Hearing this question, Zhou Xin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If I were to answer that we only responded to Jeno's request to help you, without any other purpose, would you believe us?" β
"Okay." Although Demancha didn't speak, the expression on his face said it all, so Zhou Xin replied, "We do need your help with something. β
"Tell me what we need our help with, and then I'll decide if we need your help." Demancha's answer was nothing short of watertight.
"We want your help in getting something from Kazran." According to the content discussed in advance, Zhou Xin replied.
"One thing?" Zhou Xin's answer surprised Demancha a little, he thought for a moment, and then asked again, "I'm afraid that such a thing is not very easy to get by, otherwise, judging from your means of invading the base system, you still need our help to get something that is easy to obtain?" β
"It's not quite the same." Zhou Xin shook his head, "Invading your system is just a technical problem, but it's different to get something, you need to send someone to infiltrate Kazlan's country directly to do it." But as you know, Kazlan is at war right now, and it's hard for our people to sneak in for a while, but we want to get this item as soon as possible, soβ"
"So you want our people lurking in the Republic of Kazran to help you get what you want?" As he spoke, Deman glanced at Jeno, "It's all Forty-Seven, oh no, it's time to call Jano, he told you?" β
"He only told us who he was a member of the community, and we speculated on everything else." Hearing Demancha's unkind tone when he mentioned Jeno, Zhou Xin immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and he explained for Jeno.
After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, although the expression on Demancha's face did not change, he was still slightly relieved in his heart, and then he returned to his normal tone and asked, "So, after talking about it for so long, you haven't told me what exactly you want from the Republic of Kazran?" β
"Thisβ" Zhou Xin's face showed a look of hesitation, and after a while, he said perfunctorily, "It's not time to say it yet." Seeing that Demancha's face changed slightly, Zhou Xin added, "If you feel embarrassed at that time, you can still refuse." β
"I'm afraid things have come to that point where we can't refuse." Hearing Zhou Xin's answer, Demancha's first thought was that I was afraid that this matter was not so simple. Therefore, he thought about it for a long time, and looking at the ever-changing face on Demancha's face, Zhou Xin even thought that he would directly refuse next. Nearly five minutes passed, and Demancha let out a long sigh, and then spoke: "I know in my heart that if I agree to your request, we will most likely encounter an unprecedented situation in the future, but the conditions you put forward are really difficult to refuse. Saying that, Demancha did not explicitly accept or refuse, but went on to ask: "I would like to know, in what ways can you help us?" β
"What kind of technical assistance do you need?" Zhou Xin replied, "Although we have a certain understanding of your current situation, it is impossible to know in detail what kind of technology you lack, and you need to provide us with a list. Moreover, there is a certain difference between the two of us in terms of technology, and all we can offer is our own technology, which may be completely different from the technology used by Kazlan and Eun. I hope you understand that. β
"It doesn't matter." "We don't care about that, no matter which technology is used, as long as it works." β
It only took a few minutes for Zhou Xin to negotiate with Demancha about the general content of the next cooperation between the two sides. The rest of the concrete cooperation plan could not be completed by the two of them alone. But even so, Zhou Xin and Demancha are still very satisfied with the current result. After having time to keep in touch after the appointment, this time the communication, which was a surprise to both parties, finally came to an end.
Looking at the screen that had been darkened in front of him, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then said to Jeno: "I'm sorry, I have to inform others about this situation next, so I won't bother you too much." Without waiting for Jeno to respond, he left the room.
As soon as he opened the door of the command cabin, Zhou Xin attracted the attention of many people inside. Seeing that it was Zhou Xin who came in, Spred asked casually, "I heard Atlas say that you went to find Jeno?" Did we go tell him about our decision yesterday? How did it take so long? Did he tell you a lot of things? Now that you've told him, when are you going to contact the community? β
Zhou Xin didn't answer Spred's question, but first glanced at the information on the screen. He saw that in the footage of the probe, the fleets of Kazlan and Eun were still in the same state of confrontation as they were at the end of the battle yesterday, but compared to yesterday, the size of the fleets of both sides had increased significantly, and it was clear that the Eun Empire had not given up on its plan to occupy the northern continent. Although he was very puzzled about how the Ewen people should fight next, Zhou Xin did not continue to think about it, because he knew that it would only be clear when he saw the battle below. So, Zhou Xin, who had figured out the situation, began to answer Spred's previous question.
"Yes, I did tell Jeno about my decision. As for when to contactβ" Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "just now." β
"Huh?" Spred was not surprised by the first half of Zhou Xin's sentence, but the answer in the back was different, and he was stunned for a while before he understood the meaning of those four words, and then asked rather unexpectedly, "Why is it so sudden?" When did you get their contact information? β
"That's right." Then Dart said in a reproachful tone, "We are not ready yet, why did you rush to contact the community like this?" β
"I'd like to prepare." The expression on Zhou Xin's face looked a little helpless, "But Atlas won't let it." Then he told everyone in the room what had just happened.
With Zhou Xin's explanation, everyone's faces became more and more surprised, they didn't expect that the situation would develop like this at all. After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Spred immediately said in a happy tone, "Fortunately, the final result is still good, if the other party directly rejects us, then we can really only find a way by ourselves." β
"Maybe that's right." Zhou Xin replied thoughtfully, "The other party didn't directly promise that we would definitely help us get the items back, and that Demancha's attitude is still a little intriguing." If he learns that what we want is neutron matter, he might refuse. β
"They didn't promise us, so why should we help them." At this time, Dart said, "Do we mean that we help them in vain?" β
"That's not what I said." Zhou Xin said, "Demancha didn't refuse at all, I guess the other party should want to wait and see, according to the strength of our assistance to them, in order to assess whether they are worth spending manpower to help us obtain items of corresponding value." β
"What if the other side dragged on and didn't refuse just because they wanted to get our technical assistance? Maybe that Demancha has already made up his mind to reject us. Dart presented the worst-case scenario.
"But at least hopefully not." This time it was Spred's turn to speak, "Anyway, we are idle now, it is better to teach some skills to the community, at least we may have the help of the other party." But for us, it's just a gesture and nothing to lose. On the contrary, it would be a surprise if we could rely on a few technologies to get back the neutron matter that has plagued us for a long time. Anyway, once we get the neutron matter, we have to leave here, and it has nothing to do with us what the community will use our technology for after we leave. β
"Well, you have a point." Darton nodded, "But I'm still a little worried, what if we teach all the techniques to the community, and the other party turns their faces and doesn't recognize people." β
"So I'm not going to give them all the technology we have, so that we can see what they really want and give us plenty of buffer." Zhou Xin agreed, "My plan is to help the community rebuild their basic industrial system, and as for the next step, it is up to them to study it themselves, and I will not hand over to them technology that exceeds their current level of science and technology." Atlas, I'll leave it to you, and after a while, after Demancha has made a list of the technologies, you can remember to list the ones with a higher level of technology separately, which can be regarded as a punishment for you. β
"No problem, leave it to me." This punishment was nothing at all for the little girl, and she happily agreed.
"That's good." Spred continued, "Actually, I have similar concerns, and since you've thought about it, there's nothing wrong with that. β
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "Since this is the case, then this matter is decided." The Voyager will then be able to fly to the vicinity of the Community base. β
"Flying nearby?" Suddenly, Spred was puzzled, "You mean, we need to be in front of them?" Isn't it okay to pass on the technology to the other party? β
Zhou Xin shook his head, "Although Demancha can be sure that we are indeed from other planets, I can clearly sense that the rest of the community is still suspicious of our identity during the conversation. Otherwise, my biggest concern is that they treat us as if we were from either Ewen or Kazran, which would be extremely detrimental to the rest of our interactions. Therefore, I need the Voyager to be in view of the opposing base to show them who we really are......"
