The formal negotiation with the human race exceeded Liana's expectations, and at the conference table, Ye Ming did not attend, but the meaning expressed by the director of the Human External Affairs Office who presided over the negotiation was not only more outrageous than Ye Ming's request, but even gave a detailed list of compensation and some demands on the spot.

Since the two civilizations did not have a common currency, the compensation proposed by humans was made in kind, namely tachyon generators, Slanzi matter, antimatter, and so on. In addition, humanity also demands that the Empire must destroy the weapons of the Destroyer - because this kind of weapon is the greatest danger and disrespect to the universe.

As for others, such as ceding System 32 to human management, opening up transportation and trade in all systems, jointly establishing a comprehensive management office for the whole universe, and providing humanitarian assistance to all civilizations in the universe...... It's not worth mentioning.

Obviously, this demand of humanity was unexpected and absolutely unacceptable to the negotiating team—and even such a request did not make it necessary for the negotiating team to contact the Empire.

……

After leaving Prophet Dieter's room, Liana returned to her room.

In order to prevent information leakage, she and Prophet Dieter used limited pheromones to communicate throughout the whole process, which has the advantage of almost no pheromone spillover, but the disadvantage is that it is extremely energy-consuming.

After lying on the bed for a while, Liana turned her head to look at the human "cell phone" placed at the head of the bed.

She hasn't used a human phone since Golia applied to her yesterday, because she doesn't know much about human writing and manipulation habits, and secondly, she ...... When she calmed down, she still had a bit of a hard time accepting it.

At this moment, the phone suddenly sounded a burst of pleasant music, and then the phone screen lit up, and Golia's avatar appeared on the screen.

Liana froze, sliding awkwardly across the screen.

"Teacher, is the meeting over?"

The voice was a little quiet, Liana hurriedly put the phone to her ear again, she thought about it and nodded: "It's over for the time being." ”

"Ai Wen and I are going to go to Ella Star, do you want to go together?"

"To Ella Star?" Liana was stunned again: "Go to the ground? ”

"Yes, go to the ground, you have always been on the Sky Temple before, you have never been to the ground, and I have not had a chance to take you to play with us...... Now that I have the opportunity, I will take you to climb the mountain. ”

"Climbing a mountain? What's ...... Easy to climb? ”

"Hehe, I don't know, but Ai Wen said she wants to climb, and we're going to bring a lot of picnic stuff this time, so why don't you...... And we're going camping tonight! It's fun. ”

Hearing the word picnic come out of Gloria's mouth, Liana's thoughts drifted away, and after a moment, she closed her eyes and hummed softly.

Half an hour later, a ground-to-air commuter ship slowly headed to the ground.

Because there were so many things that they brought this time, the two girls couldn't carry them at all, so Ye Ming directly assigned two robots to them - these robots can do housework when they put down their guns, and they are armed guards with guns, and they can seamlessly switch at any time according to their needs.

Soon, the three of them reached the ground and came to the foot of a not very high mountain outside the city to begin the so-called "trekking".

Along the way, Goliath and Ai Wen are in high spirits, teaching Liana how to use her phone, taking pictures everywhere, and chattering non-stop.

"Teacher, you don't use your phone?"

"Nope."

"Oh, that's going to have to be learned." Gloria took a selfie of herself and approached Liana to show her the photo, saying as she looked at it, "Otherwise, you will have trouble in class in the future." ”

"Class?" Liana frowned slightly: "What class?" ”

"You're going to teach us...... Oh no, it's for humans...... Oh, that's not right......" Goliath turned to look at Aiwen, "I haven't been at Union College, are there students of all races over there?" ”

"Well, a lot, when I was here, there were our Kron, humans, Tara, and bears."

"What about my people?"

"Oh, the first of you to come here were all teachers." Ai Wen said with a smile rising on the corner of her mouth: "Teacher Hailin, do you know each other?" That's what she taught us about biophysics. ”

"Reiji Helen, of course I know." Gloria glanced at Liana without leaving a trace: "Teacher, you are a prophet, and you must be a very good teacher!" ”

Ai Wen immediately gave her a slap: "What you said, the teacher is not excellent, how did he teach you?" ”

Liana saw that the two little girls started to quarrel again, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and finally took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

At this time, Goliath saw a flat field on the side of the road, so she ordered the robot guards to camp on the spot, and soon, the two robots showed perfect execution and efficiency, and in less than half an hour, the two tents were set up a lot, small tables, barbecue grills, and all kinds of ingredients were ready.

As the charcoal fire rises, Liana slowly enjoys the human delicacy while watching the sky darken until night falls and the lights of the city below the hill rise.

After tidying up the table, Golia lit the small lamp and sat down next to Liana: "Teacher, Aiwen and I are going to read the papers, do you want to take a look at our Aita academic library?" ”

"Hmm, the academic library?"

"Yes, in addition to portable communication, mobile phones can also be used for learning...... And it can connect the entire human database. ”

Liana was stunned, she knew yesterday that this mobile phone could learn - this also means that she can access human knowledge, so she only wanted one, but then she thought about it, she basically couldn't read human words, so she didn't have that thought.

Now I heard Gloria say again, you can actually read the paper on it...... Also connected to the entire human database......

"You mean, just such a thing, can ...... Access to the most advanced human knowledge? ”

"Yes." Golia skillfully logged in to Aita Academic, and then translated them to Liana one by one: "These academic papers, as long as the terminal has passed the certification, can be browsed at will. ”

"Everyone can pass the certification?"

"Well, but there are some that still have to be certified at the level, but as far as the public is concerned, they can receive it...... It's already impossible for people to master it for a lifetime. ”

Ai Wen added next to her: "I can't finish learning in eight lifetimes." ”

Liana listened quietly, and suddenly looked up at the sky: "Human beings, do you really want to establish a knowledge system that covers the universe?" ”

Ai Wen and Goliath looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

"Teacher, in fact, Mr. Ye Ming is really an honest person, he may sometimes speak a little ugly, but he really won't deceive people."

A week later, the spacecraft of the negotiating team, which had failed to return, left the Ella system and set out on its way home.

As humanity promised, they did not embarrass anyone, nor did they forcibly leave anyone behind, reflecting the excellent quality of the two countries not fighting each other.

But...... Compared with when I came, there was one less person on the way back.

Ye Ming's office.

"Teacher Liana, what requirements do you have for your future work and life, you can mention it."

After driving the two noisy imps out of the door, Ye Ming personally made Liana a cup of tea, and then sat opposite her with a smile.

His attitude, compared to the previous contact and meeting, I don't know how many times more friendly.

So much so that Liana was a little uncomfortable.

Liana folded her hands on her knees, and after being silent for a few seconds, she looked at Ye Ming seriously: "First of all...... I'm going to be with Hall. ”

"No problem, it's rightly deserved." Ye Ming smiled slightly: "I don't know if Hall has mentioned it to you, Kroze and Grena have been married and successfully gave birth to an imperial baby." ”

Liana snorted.

This, Hall had told her from the first day they met. It's just that Hall doesn't know exactly what Kroez is doing at the moment, only that he has started working for humans.

At this time, Ye Ming said a little narrowly: "Actually...... This time, if you offer to bring Hale back, we'll say yes. ”

Liana was stunned and looked at Ye Ming with some incredulity.

Ye Ming nodded with a smile: "Do you know why?" ”

"Why?"

"Because, by all indications, you are a good teacher, a ...... Virtuous and excellent people. Ye Ming said with a straight face: "Goliath is a good boy, she is very protective of you, from the first day she met me, she has constantly reminded me that the empire is not exactly a bad guy - although some people in the legion are not as good as beasts. ”

"And no matter how you look at it, the future of a civilization and a race needs people like you."

Liana was silent, and after a long sigh.

"Since I've decided to stay, there's no need to mention this."

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded again: "You continue." ”

"And then, I want to be able to work as a teacher at your Union Academy."

"No problem, I said, you are a good teacher, and a good teacher should naturally teach and educate people."

"Then ......" Liana was silent again, and after a moment looked at Ye Ming: "If peace is achieved in the near future, no matter what form is used, even if it is short-lived...... I also hope to be able to see the children of the empire in the academy and let them ...... Have the opportunity to receive an equal education. ”

Ye Ming looked at her quietly, and after a while, a smile resurfaced and he nodded slowly.

- Since the Empire cannot accept the conditions offered by humanity, then the only way to go is war.

And human beings obviously can't do the kind of that makes all the people of the empire slaves.

The only thing to do is to make them completely accept the framework of civilization and the scientific system under human dominance.

And once the human system is accepted, the industrialization of human beings is accepted, then ......

No matter how rebellious and unyielding he is, he will never be able to subvert humanity.

Because in a sense, they ...... And they became human.

The so-called kingization is like this.

"Any other requirements?" Ye Ming asked again.

"Nope." Liana shook her head slowly.

"Hmm...... Then I might have a little request. ”

"What request?"

"You're able to contact your home planet now, right?"

Liana nodded.

Although she didn't follow, the communicator stayed—it was clear that she couldn't have stayed in the human world because she thought that humanity might be the victorious side, and that she wanted to keep a little spark for civilization, but to stay with humanity to establish a channel of communication.

This can be regarded as laying the groundwork for future dialogue.

"So...... Tell your home planet and tell the Empire that if they don't leave the Raff system for a day, then we'll be emptying the system of all ships. ”

Saying that, Ye Ming raised his wrist: "Now it is just 24 hours before the offensive is launched. ”

Liana was momentarily stunned.

After a moment, she took a deep breath: "You guys...... In what way? ”

Hall knows. That's the kind of weapon. Of course, I can tell you about it now...... It is a low-dimensional exploitation of high-dimensional matter, but its principles and rules are completely different from your tachyon and exotic matter and entropy reduction techniques......"

"It's essentially, we're using engineering and technology to achieve two dimensions." Ye Ming said slowly in terms that Liana could understand, as far as he could, "Teacher Anna, have you realized that you have lost your technological progress?" Science and technology, on the other hand, complement each other and are indispensable. ”

Liana held her breath and closed her eyes with a slight pain after a moment of silence.

"Therefore, your paradise is your greatest constraint."

Ye Ming looked at Liana with a smile: "How is it possible that you want us to go that way?" ”

Liana was stunned again.

"That is, from the beginning...... Don't you plan to accept the Promised Land's immortality technology? ”

"Yes."

"Eternal life is tempting enough, but the form of your eternal life is not right."

Ye Ming looked at each other quietly: "The eternal life that human beings pursue is to exist across dimensions. ”

Liana took a deep breath, then got up, and was about to leave the door when she suddenly stopped.

"One last request, tomorrow...... Will I be able to watch the fight? ”

"Of course." Ye Ming didn't think about it, and nodded with a smile: "Can I think that this time, the legion is actually ready for battle a long time ago?" ”

Liana nodded slowly.

They didn't come here for peace and negotiation at all...... It's for the sake of temptation.

It's a pity that in the eyes of human beings, that kind of immortal technology can be so unbearable.

It is also doomed that they will return in vain.

Ye Ming nodded again: "It seems that we all have to fight this battle." ”

In order to completely subdue the Empire, it is necessary for the Empire to see with their own eyes how advanced the weapons of mankind are, and this advancement is still advanced that they cannot even copy at all.

It's as if a primitive tribe with a big stick in their hands is facing a heavy machine gun.
