Chapter 187: Negotiation

Ikoth came back from Yuan Hao's side.

Yuan Hao was very simple, and directly compiled a document of what he could provide and handed it to Ikosi.

Ikosi flipped through it on the spot and asked Yuan Hao about the contents of it, and Yuan Hao also answered Ikosi's inquiry. By the time everything was over, it was already two hours later.

At this time, it was already late at night, and everyone should have slept peacefully. But Ikoth knew the preciousness of the information he had obtained from Yuan Hao, so he hurriedly disturbed the speaker, called the councillors up, and held a meeting.

The meeting was held in the same room in the depths of Zion, protected by the mechs, and the councillors who held real power in Zion were still in the meeting.

The people are still those people, but the things discussed have changed a little from before. Everyone stared at the document that was projected onto the tablet in front of them, and looked at it carefully. Everyone's preferences are different, and so are their concerns.

"Mobile Space Utility Instrument Tactical...... RGM-78 Jim Guard?

"Small Minovsky reactor? Is this a nuclear furnace?"

"Minovsky particle generation dispersal device...... When dispersed over a certain area on a large scale, increasing the concentration of the particle can effectively interfere with electromagnetic waves.

"T-602 Mechanical Skeleton Remote Control Soldier Technical ......"

"...... of Mental Force Remote Sensing Control Technology"

"Artificial sunlight technology ......"

"Technical ...... of Greening Transformation in Closed Areas"

"Plant Genetic Engineering ......"

......

Faced with all this information, everyone thought of their use:

The Jim Guard can be used in place of a mech, and the use of large-caliber cannons and beam weapons can inflict great damage on mechanical octopuses;

The small Minovsky reactor can be installed on the hovercraft to give the hovercraft more power, because it is nuclear-powered, so the hovercraft can have a longer combat cycle. In addition, since they are all nuclear-powered, it should be possible to create weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons. As the most powerful weapon of the old era, if it reappears in the hands of humans, it should be a great threat to the mechanical city;

In addition, the Minovsky particle generation diffuser, which is a device that specializes in synthesizing and dispersing Minofsky particles, increases the concentration of Minofsky particles in a certain area, and then interferes with the electromagnetic waves in the area. This seems ordinary, as if it has no effect, but in fact, this is the big killer against the matrix.

You know, there are no satellites anymore. The connection between the mechanical cities is mainly carried out by electromagnetic waves of various frequencies. If these generators had been installed at points around the city before the battle, it would have been possible to easily cut off the city's connection with the outside world through the dispersion of high concentrations of Minovsky particles.

To put it simply, through this device, he was able to turn the mechanical city into a lonely city, so that he could not get reinforcements from other places.

It's a pretty good device, and if properly arranged, can even change the outcome of a campaign;

As for the T-602 mechanical skeleton remote control soldiers, mental power remote sensing control technology, artificial sunlight technology, closed area greening transformation technology, plant genetic engineering technology, etc., everyone also saw the value and thought of their use.

"It's all good! such good things...... Will he give it to us?"

"There is no need to be suspicious, since people are willing to give us information, they must want to sell it...... If he didn't want to, there was no need to list it on it, it was written so clearly...... People don't fool us around. Someone retorted.

"That's really ......," most people nodded in response.

Since Yuan Hao is indeed willing to provide these technologies to his own people, what does he want to get from him?

Buying, selling, people want to sell, so what should they use to buy it?

After rejoicing, this question becomes very necessary.

Because Yuan Hao threw out this big fruit first, everyone's interest can be said to be completely outlined. As the commander of Zion, Locke was even more blunt: "I must get both technology and the Minovsky particle generation dispersal device, no matter what the cost." ”

He was absolutely unequivocal.

So......

"What does Mr. Yuan Hao want?" the gray-haired old speaker patted the table and asked the question again.

"Ore ...... And the instructor!" Ikos said Yuan Hao's request.

What did Yuan Hao want. Although he didn't go into detail with Ikoth, Ikoth was able to draw the corresponding conclusions from his own conversations with him. After all, Yuan Hao didn't hide it too deeply about this matter.

"Ore, instructor, what kind of ore, what kind of instructor?" asked Locke, a little nervously.

"Some ores rich in trace elements, as well as instructors who are familiar with the matrix and are good at training newcomers...... After all, Mr. Yuan Hao rescued a group of people in Los Angeles. Ikoth said.

This is the most plausible explanation, and Ikos himself thinks so.

Think about it too!

Ore rich in trace elements can smelt better materials, make better machinery, and produce better weapons, and the instructors who train newcomers can train those awakened rookies rescued by Yuan Hao as quickly as possible.

This is indeed a very important "resource" for Yuan Hao. And Zion does have a lot of these "resources".

But......

"How much does he want? Ore and personnel are what we need...... If he asks for too much, it will have a pretty negative impact on us in the short term. One lawmaker frowned.

"He didn't say ......" Ikos spread his hands helplessly: "I met with him just to roughly mention the needs of both parties." It's not easy to figure out what the other person wants. The specific amount will naturally have to be considered after we enter the formal negotiation stage with him. ”

"This is also ......" The Speaker nodded silently, and then asked Ikoth, "What kind of quantity do you estimate he will put forward as a condition?"

"If it's from his own point of view...... He's definitely going to demand the better. But from our point of view, we naturally want us to give as little as possible! There is a contradiction between us and him. Ikoth shook his head and said, "In order to ensure the ultimate success, we must find a certain balance between how much we give. In this way, we can get what we want at the most appropriate price. ”

"So what do you mean!" the Speaker frowned slightly.

"I think we have to set a bottom line for ourselves. That means we have to think about how much we can offer at most. Ikoth voiced his opinion.

"Without affecting yourself!" Locke strengthened his tone.

For Yuan Hao's things, he likes it very much, but as a Zionite, he still knows more or less what it means to do what he can.

"Hmm......" The Speaker nodded, heading towards the silent man, "Mr. Renard, what do you think......"

"According to the results of the balance statistics of our financial department last month, the inventory of iron ore is 3 million tons, and the rare earth is 600,000 tons...... Every month we go out for the necessary consumption, we can provide at least 100,000 tons of iron ore and 10,000 tons of rare earths. "Renard is a man who has always worked with data, and his words have always sounded old-fashioned and precise.

"Then the personnel department is here......" The speaker's face turned to another man who was slightly fat, "Terres, what do you think?"

"Dear Mr. Speaker, you know where we are now...... The Matrix is closing in on one by one, we are losing heavy losses, and every month we have soldiers killed...... The casualty rate, which cannot be reduced, forces us to maintain a certain number of additional forces that we always need. In this case, I'm really on the instructor's side!" the gray-haired Terles had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Well, I understand what you say!" The point is ......" The speaker nodded kindly, and asked calmly with a little dignity that could not be refused, "How much can we control." ”

"One hundred!" The Speaker's gaze made Terles feel pressured, although his face did not have the slightest harshness, and his words were not cold, but it was such a gentle and gentle face, which made Terles a little nervous, he swallowed his saliva, forced himself to calm down, and opened his mouth to burst out such a number.

"A hundred? "Locke is more on his side after all.

"100 is the maximum number. It's the bottom line, and we naturally can't talk too much about the actual negotiations. Teres frowned.

"So how many do we start with?" someone asked.

How much did you mention at the beginning? Well, that's the question. It was hard for everyone to imagine because they were not familiar with Yuan Hao.

"What do you see, Ikoth?" finally everyone turned their heads and asked the person who was most familiar with Yuan Hao here.

"I feel like we can do something about it. Ikoth thought for a moment, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"What do you mean?" Ikoth's words caught everyone's attention.

"Yuan Hao is a young man, but also a man. The main assistants who followed Yuan Hao's side, and the high-level ones were all beautiful women...... Men and beautiful women! You know what I mean. Ikoth sneered.

"Hmm, is that so......" Everyone is very interested in such a topic.

"As far as I guess, it's more than 70 percent likely. In short, there are more female ***, a little more youthful and beautiful...... It definitely won't give us any points. Of course, we can't fool people with rookies. Ikoth pondered and said, "Use the means that should be, but not too much. It's not a one-shot deal. ”

"Well, that's right...... But according to the ceremony, there are some things that should be done. For example, open our army's shooting range......" As he spoke, Commander Locke suddenly mentioned something like this: "Although the information he provided us has blown his mecha to be unparalleled in the world, ...... I think we need to actually see it as well. ”

"Hmm!" the Speaker nodded slightly, "...... then" he cleared his throat.

This night, these discussions were much discussed, and they were discussed until late.

In order to "deal with" Yuan Hao, they did sort out one set of plans after another. As rulers of Zion, they must seek the corresponding benefits of Zion.

And so the night passed.

The next day, several bigwigs who had almost stayed up all night still maintained their corresponding vitality and appeared in front of Yuan Hao.

They're very energetic, maybe they're using some kind of hormone - these techniques are still available in Zion, and they're relatively clever, and the side effects are small. In short, the formal reception began.

The speaker led the members of Zion to meet with Yuan Hao, and after a polite greeting, he invited Yuan Hao to visit and inspect Zion's armament.

The armament of Zion is divided into two main parts:

One is as an air-cushion warship for guerrillas, they mainly use hacking methods to infiltrate the matrix and fight special operations to rescue the awakened;

The other part is Zion's main defense, the Mecha Soldiers.

It is a 10-ton mecha with a height of about 5 meters, an open steel frame, a headless, and a skeletonized robotic arm, and a two-legged anti-joint walk.

Because it has a human-like palm, it can flexibly equip various forms of mecha weapons. From stormed rocket artillery to defensive 30mm revolver...... The versatility is still quite strong.

It's just that, in Yuan Hao's view, this kind of mecha can only be regarded as the actual combat words of the earliest model of MS at most - it is a version of the industrial MS equipped with weapons.

Its practicality does not mean that there is none, but the combat power can indeed be described as low. There is no comparison with MS, which has embarked on a high-speed development path in the Universe Century, even Jim, Zagu and the like, who have always been criticized as weak chickens, are much more powerful than this mecha.

Poor load, low defense, poor maneuverability, and adaptability are not much better...... Fighting with such a mecha, I'm afraid that you will have to wear a padded jacket to a high place.

Although it looks quite spectacular that so many mechs are juxtaposed, ......

Yuan Hao really didn't want to complain, but he still had to say that even if it was just such a mecha, in terms of the pressure Zion was facing, their number was still too small.

The single combat power is not good, and the overall number is not enough, if there is a head-on battle with the mechanical city, what will Zion use to resist the mechanical army?

With the lives of the Zions? As far as Yuan Hao's position is concerned, it is not cost-effective to exchange even one for the other. Thinking like this in his heart, Yuan Hao was calm on the surface, he praised the neatness of the Zion army's appearance, and praised the high morale of the Zion army.

As for weapons...... He whispered to Locke: "Such a good soldier should be equipped with the best weapons." Your current mecha, I think it's still ......."

His tail was elongated, and the last words did not come out, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Do you think our mecha can't do it?" Locke looked at Yuan Hao, his face showing a little unwillingness: "I have seen the information you provided us. Are your mechs that powerful?"

"Just look at it. I've brought three Jim Guards this time, and you can schedule a drill for them. "Yuan Hao's proposal.

"Good!" Locke stroked his palm, Yuan Hao's suggestion was right in his heart. The matter was quickly arranged.
