Chapter 215: I Want the Three Gorges (Seeking Subscriptions)
Just as Sun Cheng had expected, although Chen Zhongyuan was the person in charge sent by the Chinese side to contact him, he was not qualified to make decisions when it came to the specific details of negotiation matters.
Therefore, although Chen Zhongyuan was incredibly tempted, he hesitated for a moment before saying to him: "Lord Frenzy, I need to request instructions from my superiors. May I ask if you could wait a moment?"
"There is no need for such trouble..."
Ever since Sun Cheng entered Lop Nur, his Core had never been shut down, so he had naturally long since taken in the entire layout inside and outside the camp.
He also noticed the dozens of surveillance devices scattered throughout the camp at this time, half of which were quickly relocated to the surroundings after he appeared in the camp.
Unsurprisingly, he believed that at this very moment, in the distant Beidu of China, there must be countless Chinese elites and even national Leaders carefully scrutinizing him through these surveillance devices.
They might even be engaged in heated discussions about how to cooperate with Sun Cheng, what price the Chinese side could accept, and what kind of technology they could exchange from him.
As a member of the Cassette Corps, although he was far from being the most excellent intelligence master in the Decepticon Legion that Frenzy was at his peak, with the increase in his strength, all the abilities that Frenzy originally possessed were also gradually recovering.
With a movement of his Core, Sun Cheng pressed his temples again, letting two beams of light shoot out from his pair of electronic eyes once more.
Soon, a wall of light imaged in the void before him.
Chen Zhongyuan looked up at it, and his face could no longer hide the undisguised shock and panic.
The reason was none other than that on the wall of light that had just formed in front of Sun Cheng, clear images of several elders who also wore expressions of surprise had appeared.
And these few elders, from left to right, were the highest Leader of this country, the Prime Minister, and several central elders.
"What a coincidence..."
Even Sun Cheng himself could not help but feel slightly startled when he saw the images of these old men clearly.
Just before, although he had followed the captured signals to investigate and quickly noticed that the information sent by only one set of equipment was transmitted directly via a military satellite and was protected most strictly, he realized that by following this set of information, he should be able to see one or two real bigwigs who were paying attention to him.
But he never expected that when he truly followed this line and captured the control authority of the equipment on the other side, he would actually see several members of the country's highest-level Elder Bureau all present, gathered together to watch this unique meeting.
As soon as the images of the several elders appeared, Sun Cheng recognized their identities by comparing them with the data on China's high-level officials he had previously collected.
This discovery made him feel a surge of joy in his heart.
Compared to various troublesome contacts, being able to talk directly to the highest level of this country was undoubtedly much simpler. He immediately nodded slightly to the several elders revealed on the light screen in front of him and said: "Mechanical Life forms are mostly straightforward; please forgive any rudeness. I believe the Chairman and you gentlemen have already established a preliminary understanding of me through the data transmitted here earlier. So, let us get straight to the point!"
Thousands of kilometers away, in an office in Zhongnanhai, Beidu, the Chairman watched as the hundred-inch LCD monitor in front of him suddenly flickered with static, and the image changed. The figure of the alien mechanical creature, whom several of them had been watching earlier through the data transmitted by remote surveillance equipment, appeared on the screen.
Being able to govern a country, the several elders were all extremely intelligent people.
After quickly realizing what this change meant, although they were shocked that the other party could easily capture transmitted data and invade the country's central core,
after a simple exchange of glances, the Chairman tentatively asked: "Lord Frenzy, is it? I represent China in welcoming your arrival. I wonder how you intend to cooperate with us?"
On the screen, the mechanical creature named 'Frenzy' seemed to show a bit of a smile, and he pointed a finger at the space in front of him.
The next moment, on the screen of the LCD monitor in front of the Chairman and the others thousands of miles away, dozens of various computer folders immediately appeared, each marked in Chinese.
【Five-axis Linkage CNC Machine Tool】, 【4-unit 3000M Hydropower Generating Set】, 【20-ton Thrust Heavy Turbofan Engine】, 【Thirty-seven types of super-hard and new alloys】...
【Hellfire Missile】, 【F-16 Fighter Jet】, 【Reaper Drone】, 【M1A2 Tank】, 【Yasen-class Attack Nuclear Submarine】, 【Typhoon-class Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine】, 【Borei-class Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine】...
【Third-Generation Optical Stealth Technology】, 【Third-Generation Shipborne Nuclear Reactor】, 【First-Generation Magnetohydrodynamic Water-jet Engine】, 【Small 100,000 mAh Polymer Battery】...
As if to make it convenient for them to examine carefully, the LCD monitor left them with nearly a full minute of observation time before it returned to its original appearance in the eyes of the several elders who were incredibly excited.
"Everything I displayed earlier are technologies that can be traded. Mr. Chairman, please do not doubt our strength. If you need it, even physical objects can be manufactured for you by my Workers if you are willing to provide enough raw materials."
An old man in military uniform asked after he finished speaking: "My Lord, I noticed that many of the technologies you just displayed are already available on our Earth, including those military technologies. May I understand this as you investigating the military forces of various countries on our Earth? Also, may I ask you again, why did you choose our China..."
"As you said, after arriving on Earth, we did indeed investigate the military forces on Earth."
On the screen, the mechanical Warrior's answer was exceptionally crisp: "The energy and other resources required for long-distance travel across galaxies far exceed your imagination. In fact, before arriving in the Solar System, the resources we carried were already nearly exhausted, to the point where we had to rest. Coincidentally, at this time, my soldiers discovered the traces of the Autobots on Earth, and according to our tracking, there are more Autobots constantly rushing to Earth."
"Therefore, in order to replenish resources in time and guard against attacks from the Autobots, we needed to select a suitable partner on Earth. The United States was the potential ally we identified as most suitable for contact after our investigation."
"It is just that, because the Autobots had already contacted the United States in advance and reached a cooperation, we had to give up this choice and turn to consider cooperating with other countries. You, China, and Russia are the two national forces we are preparing to contact!"
In the office, the faces of the several elders were somewhat unsightly. After all, no matter how deep one's political acumen, it is never pleasant to be clearly told by someone that you are just their backup plan.
However, the words of the mechanical creature named 'Frenzy' did not stop; he paused slightly and then continued: "The technology I provide, even if it already exists on Earth, my Workers have made improvements on the existing foundation, and it will only be better. All the technologies I just displayed can be transferred to you, and we can even provide the physical objects if you want them."
"But in exchange, we want the Three Gorges Dam currently under construction in China, as well as these seventy-three types of metals totaling 500,000 tons, and the above 13 types of rare earths totaling 10,000 tons."
"Before I return from Russia, you have plenty of time to consider whether to trade..."
PS:
Sorry, this kind of content seems very easy to trigger red lines. I don't know where I stepped on a red line with my previous two military novels, and they were banned. In order not to repeat the same mistakes, I had to write and delete, and after revising it several times, I felt there shouldn't be any red lines before releasing it.
