Chapter 122: Decision
"There's news there's in the United States, and the old guy seems to have something to do with us." Jiang Minghong took the call from the secretary just now, and at this juncture, he would remember that meeting him was definitely not something else.
"The response was a little slower, but it was expected. I don't think he dares to poke this matter out, so he can only find us to solve it privately. Xue Yunchu knew that the other party would definitely suspect him, after all, among the seven missing people, only he was the most suspicious.
This is true, if there are other business conflicts of interest, maybe there will be a competition and conflict between the two sides, whether overt or covert, but when it comes to how long this old guy can live, he doesn't dare to do any retaliation casually, after all, he has not been old for a long time, and he is powerless to fight again, compromise and submission are the only way out. Of course, his own side can't break his hope, otherwise, in despair, it is difficult to guarantee that this old guy will not take some extreme measures, or make it public, or take fierce revenge, etc., it will not be so easy to deal with. Jiang Minghong thought back and forth for a while, and generally figured out the other party's thoughts.
"It seems that I still have to meet him in person, and if I get it right, I can also use his connections to make a secret sales network." Jiang Minghong made up his mind, but security still has to be guaranteed, and the choice of the negotiation venue is a key.
"Well, but this man is quite cunning, so I have to watch out if he will come up with other tricks." Xue Yunchu felt that although this was a bit risky, it was necessary, after all, Grandrent was one of the people in the world who knew the entire technology project, and it was not impossible to cooperate, although he had just stolen the full set of technology from him. If you don't care at all, it's unlikely, but as long as you hold his life, you can't help but not cooperate.
"That's how the end of the matter is, the company's current business progress is relatively smooth, and there is nothing to pay special attention to. It seems that there will not be much improvement in the construction of the selected target country in the past 10 years and 8 years. Jiang Minghong finally said that he would soon have to go to the selected place to negotiate with the other party, and the rest time was basically zero.
This means that there will be a long time in the future to be busy with the construction of this network, Xue Yunchu doesn't care about the cost of time, it's just that this kind of thing, there is always an invisible risk, and the consequences are difficult to predict. The desire for immortality is very strong, and it takes careful thought to take advantage of them. However, there is no information in this area for reference, so I can only summarize the experience after doing it. But based on the lessons of the past, before the network can play a role, the first thing to do is to control the newly targeted emirate and use it as its own umbrella to avoid future risks.
"For the time being, we will stabilize the other party first, and the official launch of this technology will be delayed until we have our own protective nets in place to deal with possible interference in the future." Xue Yunchu set the tone.
Jiang Minghong understood this, and stabilized the old guy first, don't let him tear his face, and then he can do this big business steadily. What kind of arms, drug profits can not be compared with it at all, with the monopoly advantage of technology, no matter how high the price is, it is also a seller's market, unless those people think that their lives are not worth those money. However, if this protective network wants to be built, it will take a lot of effort, and in the face of the world police like the United States, it is impossible to maintain the monopoly of this technology if it does not have enough advanced technology and force protection. The next task can only be heavier, and I hope that the doctor can come up with something new, at least with the ability to fight.
It's just that Xue Yunchu has his own hidden worries, and he doesn't know when he will be discovered by that group of protectors, and hiding in the crowd and doing nothing may not necessarily escape the scanning and search in case. This makes his next move always feel constrained and can't let go of it.
What is the logic of this group of protectors? What is in their interest in protecting this civilized planet? Or is it just the boring consideration of the diversity of civilizations, as humans do to protect those wild creatures? Aren't they worried that humanity will become a threat to them when it grows stronger, compared to the approach taken by the empire, it is easier for him to understand logically, and destroying any enemy with potential strength is the most common law of the material world. If this problem is not clarified, then the possible actions they may take cannot be predicted, and future actions will not be carried out normally.
First of all, it is necessary to collect their information, and it is not possible to count on the backward interstellar exploration methods of the earth, although they claim to be able to detect galaxies tens of billions of light-years away, in fact, it is impossible to find out whether there are civilized planets hidden in them. Moreover, some ordinary stealth means can avoid their electromagnetic detection and spectral analysis.
He carefully recalled the journey of his mission, according to the navigation route, it was not a purposeless exploration, and the goal of each mission was predetermined, that is, the civilization planet that was selected to carry out the mission was monitored in advance, and once their civilization development level exceeded the minimum, they would send destroyers like them to guide the destruction process. The reason why it is not directly destroyed or occupied is because there is an interstellar convention, that is, in a historical period, no advanced civilization can expand arbitrarily, and its development territory will be limited to its own system and the nearest five galaxy. Because if there is no limit, it is very easy to have a violent conflict between two higher civilizations, or one higher civilization wantonly destroys other civilizations, leading to the stagnation of the civilization process in the universe. The signing of this interstellar convention has a more detailed explanation in his database, because it is directly related to the mission process, in the final analysis, this convention is more like an extremely long-term arms limitation convention, because if the advanced civilizations do not restrain each other, with the vastness of the universe, the armed forces required are an astronomical amount, far from being affordable by any civilization, and the war cost of interstellar conflict is extremely huge, which is not at all willing to accept the intelligent body that has entered the advanced civilization stage. The more civilization develops, the higher the value of life itself. This is a law, and interstellar warfare, in which casualties are calculated in billions, is by no means something that any civilized society is willing to accept and choose.
Therefore, with the strength of the original empire to which he belonged, he did not dare to violate the interstellar covenant and expand everywhere, so he could only take some covert means to eliminate the civilization that might pose a threat. And the question of whether the purpose of the so-called protectors of civilization, who stand on the opposite side of the empire and obstruct their actions, is whether it is for the sake of balance or has some other purpose.
However, no one has been able to give any reference or opinion on this issue, and how can those geoscientists who are looking for the existence of aliens evaluate them well. It should be said that they are almost looking for death, but fortunately they have only been doing this work for decades, and it is unlikely that they will be captured by other civilizations. As for how the empire discovered this planet, there is no record in the database, it should have been scanned for a long time, after all, there are signs of life on the earth for billions of years, and it is only after the emergence of civilization that the empire sent destroyers. I think it's been a long time. There are not a few advanced civilizations that have taken a similar attitude to the Empire, and eliminating potential threats is a sensible decision, no matter how barbaric it may be. Expecting the higher civilizations to be kind enough to help the development of the lower civilizations, let's first review the history of the development of our own civilizations.
In this way, since it has been defeated here, those civilization protectors should have been watching for a long time, and they must be watching now.
Xue Yunchu thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't get a clear conclusion, and similar thinking was going on continuously in the past few days. Jiang Minghong didn't see any difference between the doctor and the past, and he didn't have much to worry about the future, although the road was not so smooth, he could always go on.
