Ed is truly a professional, and he managed to deal with Bella in less than three sentences, and the situation was finally no longer awkward.
After everyone sat down, Ed spoke first.
"Queen Bella, I came to establish diplomatic relations with the Io Federation with good intentions this time. I wonder what Queen Bella thinks?"
"Sir Ed, I am deeply honored by this, but I still want to ask, do you have any additional conditions?"
Bella always believed that the other party must have some conditions, otherwise it would be too difficult to explain, even if there is high genetic similarity as the basis, this is still the case.
Anyway, it's better to ask first.
"Queen Bella, we don't have harsh conditions. On the contrary, we can provide your federation with many things, such as energy shield devices and even warp engines!"
"What? Mr. Ed, are you serious?"
This time, not only Bella was shocked, but also the twelve tribal leaders present.
When it comes to selling energy shield devices, everyone can understand it. After all, the Babavi Empire is engaged in this business, and of course it is a castrated version.
But the curvature engine is scary. Even for the Babavi Empire, which has been the overlord of the Orion Arm for tens of thousands of years, this thing is absolutely a banned device.
Because once other civilizations have this, they can go directly to their destination instead of taking the Star Road, and they can even directly enter the capital area of the Babavi Empire. This is a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, generally speaking, it is impossible for a fourth-level civilization to sell to a third-level civilization curvature engine.
"Of course, we will add tracking devices to the curvature engines we sell so that we can locate the locations of these curvature engines at any time. I ask for Queen Bella's understanding."
"Well, I understand that."
Ed made it clear directly, which actually made Bella feel at ease. After all, this is normal operation. If you don't leave anything behind, then there is a problem!
For Ed, it was just a piece of unimportant information to reassure Bella.
This is just an overt method. As for the hidden back-up plan, Ed will not reveal it.
"Queen Bella, may I ask a digression?"
"Of course, what does Mr. Ed want to know?"
"Well, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that I didn't seem to see any male angels along the way. Are there only females in the angel race?"
When Ed asked the question, the expressions of the queen and the leaders of the twelve tribes suddenly changed.
Bella lowered her head slightly, as if thinking about how to answer.
"Sir Ed, this is related to something that is forbidden to be discussed in the Celestial Clan. It is inconvenient to tell you. I can only tell you that the current angel clan only has female angels!"
"I see. Since it's taboo, I won't ask any more questions!"
"Thank you for your understanding!"
"It's okay. Let's discuss the future customs clearance, trade, free love and other issues between the two parties!"
Lin Fan, whose eyes were a bit twitchy, suddenly became interested and finally got to the point.
Yes, customs clearance, trade and free love, interracial marriage, this is the main topic, and it is also the main purpose of Ed coming here to establish diplomatic relations this time.
According to Lin Zhen's original idea, he wanted to include the Angel Clan as a member of the Human Federation.
It's just that the population gap between the two sides is too large and the timing is not right, so Ed is asked to establish diplomatic relations first. The main purpose is to achieve an interracial marriage between the two parties. This is a very critical step, and it is also laid for the complete integration of the angel clan in the future.
Base.
Even Ed is already thinking that if Angel Queen Bella and Lin Zhen can get together as a pair and take the lead, the effect will definitely be outstanding.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this plan was quite feasible. I couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lin Fan with a smile. I asked you to take away my sweetheart Emma. This time I will definitely trick your old man to death.
"Sir Ed, I understand customs clearance and trade. What does free love mean?"
"Well, to put it simply, a man and a woman fall in love with each other, live together, and give birth to the next generation together. They can be understood as lifelong partners! The so-called free love is in this process. As long as both men and women have this will,
Then no one has the right to interfere!"
Although Bella knew that there were male angels in her family, she also knew about the holy war between male and female angels in the past.
However, he really didn't know that men and women could naturally give birth to the next generation together. After all, male angels had ceased to exist before she was born, and there was no record of this aspect in ancient books.
Today's angel tribe uses technological means to continue their descendants. To put it more bluntly, today's angels can be said to be species produced using biotechnology, rather than being born naturally.
Therefore, Bella is very interested in this free love. The next generation can be born without using biotechnology. If it is feasible, it can solve a big problem of angel's survival.
Very early on, the biological scientists of the angel race have concluded that if biotechnology is blindly used to continue to procreate, some irreversible errors will occur in the genes of angels after hundreds of generations, leading to the destruction of the entire angel race.
.
In this regard, scientists from the angel tribe believe that the key lies in the male angels that no longer exist. After all, the use of biotechnology to continue future generations only started after the male angels disappeared.
When ancient male angels still existed, the angel race did not use biotechnology, but they could still continue their descendants. As for how it was continued at that time, the record seemed to have been deliberately erased, and it could not be found in any ancient books.
turn up.
At this time, Bella's eyes lit up when she heard Ed's words. Maybe humans can help us solve the angel's genocide crisis?
"Sir Ed, we agree on these points!"
"Uh, okay!"
Ed was a little dumbfounded for a moment. You agree now? I have prepared a lot of excuses and haven’t used them yet!
Logically speaking, shouldn't you be worried that humans have a conspiracy to assimilate angels?
It's a pity that Ed didn't know about the crisis of genocide facing the Angel Clan, otherwise he would have understood why Bella agreed directly and was even a little excited!
However, Lin Fan next to him could tell something from the expressions on Bella and the other angels' faces.
There is a hint of urgency, even excitement, in the expressions of these angels? Is the natural birth of offspring important to them?
From the previous conversation, Lin Fan could analyze that the angel clan used to have male angels, but now there are not, and it seems to have been a long time ago, otherwise other angels would not know that males existed.
Then the whole thing is interesting. It is very possible that angels once naturally reproduced offspring between men and women. But after male angels ceased to exist, biotechnology was used as a last resort to reproduce?
And this biotechnology has flaws. Angels must find a way to return to the path of natural reproduction?
If all these guesses are correct, then something can happen?
He looked at Bella across from him and said, "Wow, this look and figure are perfect!"
He nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it matches my old man very well, so let's do it!"
Lin Zhen, who was far away in the Presidential Palace on Earth, didn't know at this moment that not only was Ed planning to trick him, but his own son Lin Fan was also planning the same thing!
