Chapter 571 Tough Negotiation
Just one day later, a five-member delegation landed at the airport outside Washington, and then headed non-stop to the negotiating venue prepared by the United States.
"It's not that we question your country's technological level, but you claim to have mastered the coordinates of a new habitable planet. You have to prove it to us first, right?"
The representative of the United States showed his views as soon as he came up and made no secret of his impatience.
The Chinese representative immediately sneered: "A set of coordinate data only has a few parameters in total? Do you want proof? You clearly want to gain nothing!"
Anyone who has studied mathematics knows that there are only three parameters in three-dimensional space coordinates. Whether the coordinates are set for extraterrestrial planets in the "celestial coordinate system" or the "Earth coordinate system", the only difference is the way of labeling.
Even if only one correct parameter is given, it can save the United States a huge amount of time and cost. The rest is just to search on this correct plane, and sooner or later it will be found.
But if you only give one or two independent numbers, it is impossible for the United States to recognize it!
So it is impossible to give any coordinate parameters in advance.
As Tony Stark expected, China's top leaders knew very well that the star map they controlled was the only chance for a comeback, so the tone of the negotiations was set to be tough from the beginning.
Don’t be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot!
Even if there is a war first, the United States must be forced to sit back on the negotiating table with a tough attitude.
There is no way, who can let his family only have star maps and no spacecraft manufacturing technology.
Only with an attitude of mutual sacrifice can it be possible for the United States to hand over its spacecraft manufacturing technology after weighing the situation.
Capitalist countries are all focused on their own interests. Whether to get another livable planet or die together and get nothing at all, the capitalists' choice is actually easy to guess.
On the one hand, there are habitable planets within easy reach, and on the other hand, it is an unpredictable time investment. It is even possible that the next habitable planet will not be found for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. So even if the United States dominates the earth or directly eliminates other countries, So what?
Moreover, after a war, the earth will most likely enter a nuclear winter. The United States will lose an earth, leaving only a "New America". Who dares to ensure that the next habitable planet can be found before resources are exhausted?
The fire of interstellar civilization that was finally lit may be extinguished because of this willfulness.
But if they have another habitable planet, it will greatly increase the possibility of them continuing to find the next habitable planet, thereby completely transforming the United States into an interstellar civilization.
In addition, the Chinese deliberately revealed information that there are still other habitable planets, which is also a disguised way of telling the Americans that even if they cannot find a new habitable planet in the future, they can still provoke interstellar wars to snatch the resources in their hands.
In order to successfully obtain spacecraft manufacturing technology, the Chinese have calculated every step.
"I think you have invested a lot of resources in the search for new habitable planets in the past few years, and you must have realized the difficulty of it. Should you get a new habitable planet immediately, or should you wait countless years with no results? , you choose it yourself!”
"No, no, no, you don't seem to be aware of the premise of this negotiation." The American representative was equally tough and aggressive: "Only when we confirm that the data you gave is true can the negotiation be started."
"You just said that our country has invested a lot of resources in searching the universe. We have been observing hundreds of light-years away and have not been able to find new habitable planets. You are hiding on the earth and using backward technology. How can we believe that you really Found a habitable planet? ”
"Then there's no need to talk. Please take us back to the airport." The Chinese negotiators immediately stood up and walked out.
Naturally, people didn't go to the airport and went to the hotel prepared by America.
The negotiations dragged on.
The United States also knows that it cannot fool others into handing over precious coordinate data just by talking, so it is ready for a protracted war.
But they also know that Chinese people will not be so bored as to make fun of such a big thing, because there is no benefit.
If they are offended, the United States can really use this reason to go to war with China. It doesn't need to go to war on a large scale. It can just launch a round of orbital bombing with a spaceship, and the whole world will not be able to find reason.
Therefore, the Chinese are probably really lucky and have obtained the coordinates of more than one habitable planet.
If there was only one, they would not be able to trade it. They would only use the whole country to conquer the spacecraft manufacturing technology, and then break through the U.S. blockade and head to this livable planet.
Only if you have the coordinates of more than a plurality of habitable planets can you carry out transactions so urgently.
After all, it is meaningless if you can see it but not eat it.
We must continue to endure the "blood-sucking strategy" of the United States, sit back and watch the brain drain, and watch the national strength decline.
"Spy!"
In the White House, someone shouted loudly: "Take advantage of the delay in negotiations, activate all the hidden moles, and get the coordinates in their hands at all costs!"
"We must not give up our monopoly on spaceships, otherwise the Chinese, who hold many habitable planets in their hands, will become the biggest enemy of the United States in the future!"
This is naturally the right thing to do, but the sensible American leaders know that the Chinese will definitely protect this data with a life-blood attitude.
Even if all the intelligence networks developed over the years are exhausted, there may not be any gains. Sure enough, after half a month of large-scale operations, the CIA suffered heavy losses but gained nothing.
"Perhaps these data are not recorded in any device at all. People with slightly better memory can imprint these numbers in their minds, but we can't even find out who knows these data..."
CIA Director George Tenet was very depressed. In the past half month, they not only used secret warfare, but also repeatedly started hot battles among intelligence personnel, but only suffered heavy casualties.
"We have no other choice unless..."
Although there are not many people with photographic memory, there are still many, especially in a country with a large population. It is too easy to find a few such "humanoid storage devices"!
You don’t even need to tell them what these numbers are, and they can be remembered separately. Even if someone accidentally remembers individual numbers incorrectly, they won’t deviate too much, and it won’t take much effort to continue looking for other correct parameters.
Seeing that the intelligence war is ineffective, the United States can only start negotiations again.
"We meet again." This time, the Chinese representative looked much more relaxed. He laughed and teased the American representative: "Your hotel is quite comfortable to stay in, but the food is terrible!"
"Can you change us to a suite with a kitchen? We can do it ourselves, so that in the next few months or even years, we will not die suddenly due to eating problems."
The American representative wanted to rush up and hit him, but he could only grit his teeth and maintain his professionalism, and smiled back: "If you want to end the negotiation as soon as possible, please come up with a sincere plan!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Finally talking about the key issue, the Chinese representative's expression became serious and he responded in a deep voice: "We can allow you to land in our capital with a latest-model spaceship that will not be disarmed."
"Our personnel will board this spacecraft, and then deliver half of the coordinate data to you in this spacecraft. We will wait until you transfer the control system authority and we confirm that there is no backdoor, then we will deliver the other half of the coordinates."
"We require you to send heavyweights to participate in this transaction. We will also have heavyweights among our trading staff to ensure that both parties can maintain the necessary rationality..."
The plan proposed by the Chinese representative was quickly conveyed to the White House, and think tanks from various departments began to deliberate on every detail.
"These yellow-skinned monkeys are really smart! No wonder they have a saying that 'the hair on them is smarter than the monkeys'."
"If we want to increase our force, we can only send advanced spaceships, which will eventually fall into their hands. If we send out old-model transport spaceships, we will not be able to have a crushing advantage over their traditional armies, unless the army is overwhelming, but this will not happen. Back to the old topic of war.”
"After investigation, their army entered full combat readiness half a month ago..."
"How about adding some tricks to the control system and installing a self-destruct program?" Someone suggested a bad idea.
"What about the hostages? If they name someone from your family to participate in the transaction, will you also activate the self-destruct program?"
"The self-destruct program can also be installed, but enough time must be allowed for the hostages to evacuate..."
"How much time is 'enough'?" Someone immediately retorted: "I can guarantee that they will entertain these hostages warmly until they dismantle the spacecraft into parts. Everyone knows that they are very professional in this regard!"
< br>
"Then let those involved in the transaction die for the country!"
The person who spoke before was a general from the Pentagon, and he said in a tough tone: "The Chinese can even risk their capital. Looking at this bachelor-like attitude, the personnel they sent to participate in the transaction must also be prepared to die. .”
"They can, but do we Americans lack the spirit of sacrifice?"
"Anyway, as long as we get the coordinate data, we can even directly launch orbital missiles to blow up the spacecraft..."
Others were dismissive and didn't bother to pay attention.
To put it simply, who knows which talker will be named?
If you have the ability, you, an old guy, just recommend yourself!
The heated discussion was interrupted by a new piece of news.
"It's not good, the Chinese are contacting Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, Mellon respectively..."
"Damn it!" the previous general suddenly yelled: "These traitors!"
The only forces that possess spacecraft manufacturing technology and can mobilize a spacecraft independently are not only the U.S. federal government, but also the ten major consortiums.
As we all know, the top ten financial groups control the United States, but they do not equal the United States.
If we could independently grasp the coordinates of a habitable planet, we would immediately be able to dominate the United States. Especially the Western Arms Consortium, which has been suppressed by the Northeastern Financial Consortium in recent years, is even more eager to turn around.
"Tell the Chinese that we agree to the deal!"
