Today's meeting was a novel experience for both Katrina and Lawrence. The Siren Queen has rarely left the deep sea since she can remember, and she has never signed any agreements with other races, and Lawrence
Lens was born and raised on the Ark. He had never seen what an alien looked like in his life. The last time he saw Nangong Wuyue, he was shocked. Both of them are representatives of the novice race, and they are also
Thanks to their excellent psychological quality, even if they engage in this kind of negotiation for the first time, they will not fall off the chain.
In fact, there was nothing to say in the entire negotiation process. Everything went as smoothly as expected. The Siren Queen had already finalized a lot of things with Hao Ren in advance, and Lawrence now only wanted to find a temporary home for the Ark Fleet.
In a place where he could have the opportunity to repair the equipment in the spacecraft, he was willing to accept almost any conditions in the face of this major problem that had endangered the survival of the race.
The Siren Queen only needs an ark from him, and this condition is far better than he imagined.
The negotiations were held in a lounge next to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Platform. As a major meeting that determines the life and death of a race, the lease of a planet, and the top-level exchanges between two civilizations, such a meeting venue seems simple. It may take several years
Later Sirens and Arkmen would describe this meeting in their history books with great emphasis: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the two leaders shaped history in the lounge of a small spacecraft.
There were only five people participating in the negotiation. The one representing the sovereignty of Io was the Siren Queen and her two scribes. The only one representing the Ark Civilization was Lawrence. Hao Ren was a witness to the entire process.
There was also an outside observer at the scene: Little Nolan sat at the negotiation table and was responsible for recording the entire meeting in detail.
In the end, the two parties finalized a planet leasing agreement, and the Ark Fleet obtained the right to temporarily dock on the surface of Io at the cost of a spaceship. The docking time should not exceed two hundred years, and this time was mutually agreed upon by both parties. If the Ark Fleet had to be docked before that,
After completing the repairs and finding a new, long-term settlement, they can leave early. And if they still can't find a suitable new home, the Kraken are willing to negotiate with the Ark civilization to solve the problem. For example, extending the lease period.
Katrina actually doesn't mind how long these ark fleets stay in Io, because she and her people can't move back anyway. Io is idle, and even if the Kraken returns to Io, they will
The deep-sea race has little interaction with the Ark race living on the sea. The two sides probably only meet when they launch spaceships into space. But even if the Kraken themselves do not care about the lease issue, as a formal negotiation.
The two parties still agreed on a general deadline of "two hundred years". However, both Hao Ren and Katrina knew that this deadline was of little significance.
Lawrence had no objection to the Kraken's request. He said that in addition to the "Throne", the Kraken could choose one of the remaining twelve arks as a "rent". In view of the fact that the Ark civilization itself has already
The technology collapsed and the ability to control the Ark was lost. Therefore, all operations in the process were fully entrusted to the third party in this negotiation, namely Hao Ren, for assistance.
After the two parties finished exchanging opinions, and the two Siren scribes handed over the recorded written materials to Katrina and Lawrence respectively, little Nolan got up from the table: "All the information has been filed and recorded, 180
It will be uploaded to the civilized supervision department door-to-door in seconds."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "Why do you speak in such a rhythm?"
Nolan pointed at his small body: "It's a bit awkward to control thirteen Arks at the same time while activating the mounting container..."
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat: "Let's quickly transport one of the ships back to the outside world. Stop this unfortunate giant container... I just don't understand how a mere container cabin can occupy so much memory."
Nolan: "Those are space containers, and they don't match our ship, so the calculations are huge..."
"Stop talking. I'm so tired listening to you." Hao Ren immediately waved his hand, then stood up and looked at Katrina and Lawrence, "Then your matter is settled. I will handle it as a third party.
Supervision. Well, although we are all friends, I still declare the following two points in a formal manner in accordance with the rules: First, both parties to the agreement promise to strictly implement the content of the agreement, unless there is force majeure; second, if both parties to the agreement need to renew or change the agreement
, terminate the agreement in advance, etc. It must be re-registered with me again. If there is any violation of the agreement by both parties, I will intervene. There are tens of thousands of armed drones that can reach Io within twenty-four hours. Although I think I also use
Don’t get on them.”
Lawrence stood up with a solemn look on his face: "I will never break the contract during my lifetime."
In order to save the system resources of the Giant Turtle Yantai and prevent any problems when navigating the other twelve arks, Hao Ren decided to let Nolan first transport the giant ship that the Krakens agreed to claim back to the outside world. Twelve
The structural diagram of the giant Ark ship and the condition of each ship were sent to Katrina. These were the information Nolan compiled when he inspected the Ark ships. Hao Ren reported the situation of these ships to the Siren Queen.
Tell the truth: "To be honest, these ships are basically missing parts. The main reason is that the life support system is severely damaged. In the later period, the Ark fleet relied on repairing each other to maintain it. So if you can wait, I can piece these ships together."
Piece it all together, put together a complete boat for you... This is what Lawrence also meant."
"No need to go to such trouble," Katrina looked at the images of the spaceships on the holographic projection with bright eyes. Each of these ships was larger than Nasatorn, which was an unprecedentedly huge sum for the Krakens.
"As long as the energy and power systems are roughly complete, it doesn't matter whether the life-support equipment is needed or not. To be honest, the life-support equipment used by humans is of little use to us. Pulling it back is just scrap iron, and the power unit is
We can still study something like that.”
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "Then you pick one."
Katrina immediately turned around to discuss with the two clerks around her, and finally pointed to one of the ships: "This one is called the 'Long Road', it looks big!"
Hao Ren: "..."
Little Nolan sighed: "I feel a little stuck..."
Everyone was temporarily waiting in the drone nest, while Nolan drove the Giant Turtle Platform alone to recover the ark selected by the Siren Queen. Hao Ren really wanted to see the newly activated super on his spaceship.
What would the container look like after it was activated, so he asked the data terminal to broadcast the scene from space to him live. He saw the Giant Turtle Yantai slowly flying towards the "Long Road" ark, and then a sudden appearance appeared on the front end of the small spacecraft.
The small bright spot, like starlight, was very inconspicuous at first, but then expanded rapidly, forming a bright sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and continued to expand. On the surface of the bright sphere,
You can see that the images of the stars in the universe are projected on it in a distorted way: the sphere turns out to be a distorted space surface. Due to the closure of space, the starlight is bent on its surface, which allows the spherical shape to be observed by the naked eye.
.
Otherwise it should be unobservable.
This twisted space surface continued to expand, and in just half a minute it surged to a level that was enough to engulf the Ark, a giant ship more than a hundred kilometers long. The Ark slowly fell into the weird curved mirror that looked like the surface of a black hole.
, and soon disappeared completely.
Then the spherical surface quickly shrunk and returned to a device on the bow of the Giant Turtle Yantai. Nolan's image appeared on the communication screen. This time her whole body simply turned into a pixel image: "Recycling completed.
complete……"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and follow the data terminal," Hao Ren said with a black line on his head, "I'm really tired for you."
After the Turtle Rock Platform put the Ark into the container cabin, the data terminal then put the Giant Turtle Rock Platform into the portable space, and finally they returned to Earth through the crack in the wall of reality in Tanagus. This is the entire transfer process.
.It sounds a bit incredible, but for the Xiling God System, which is full of space technology, this small space nesting technique has been an outdated technology many years ago. However, Hao Ren is still a little unhappy: "Tanagu
The scale of Si's space rift is too small. Every time you want to transport something big, you have to use a lot of technical means. Gee, it's really troublesome."
Vivian couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard his remarks: "Is it possible that you really expect a big hole in the wall of reality?"
Hao Ren smacked his lips: "The universe is so big, and we have only explored so little of it. Maybe there really is a big rift..."
Before he finished speaking, Lily and Vivian jumped over and stuffed his mouth hard: "Shut up!" (To be continued.)
