Chapter 392 Let's Talk About a Business

Different roles, different angles, as the leader of the Greybeard mercenaries and the fourth Greybeard, Kane will naturally not be polite to the protoss, pretending to be a friend of the interstellar communist party.

The negotiation between the two parties was carried out in the lounge of the clothes hanger.

It has to be said that as a former poor ratio, Kane inevitably has two characteristics.

The first is to be diligent and thrifty, wishing to squeeze oil out of stones, and the tune of turning waste into treasure.

The second is that he is a bit petty bourgeois, or boring, and he can't explain to himself the way of being rich and wealthy. After all, he used to spray nouveau riche all day long, but now he does the same thing, which is too embarrassing, so he is petty bourgeois from time to time. , at best, it is low-key luxury.

Just like this clothes hanger, an operation ship, and most of them have to take some risks of one kind or another to operate. If it is replaced by an ordinary designer, it is natural to wish to use every space to strengthen defense or professional ability. Kane's design has a hall level that is not inferior to the flagship palace of the Legend of the Galaxy Heroes Universe Empire.

It's just that Yinyingzhong is used as a bridge and command room, while Kane is used as a conference room and lounge.

Although he plays house by himself most of the time, and the huge army doesn't even have a staff department, his military style is relatively rigorous and simple. Except for the gray beard that pays tribute to the Warhammer universe, basically Don't play the gorgeous and extravagant set.

As the commander of the Ares Division who made some contributions in the recent war, Leon Fox was also allowed to board the ship. Naturally, he secretly slandered Graybeard's 'excessive lewdness'.

Take the federal battle patrol as an example. From the inside to the outside, there is a suspicion of paying homage to the industrial style of the 1980s. Many soldiers call it a metal cage. The living environment of the personnel is comparable to the living environment of the military ship personnel of that era. Compared with the civilization level of interstellar navigation, it is really harsh.

The living conditions of the officers and soldiers of the ship are so poor, not because the relevant departments do not understand the level of manufacturing technology of this era, and the decoration is really just a matter of hand.

It's because the Federation requires the military to keep quiet. According to unreliable sources, the prison-like factory design helps to consolidate the state of mind of the central nervous system resocializers, and is a favorable environmental constraint.

In addition, the Federation really wants to turn the battlecruiser into a universal unit, wishing to stuff everything it can into it. Like the Hyperion, there is actually a V inside, that is, the components and other parts of the base vehicle.

It is conceivable that these devices are indeed easy to play with colonial expansion, and they will be expanded into a basically self-sufficient outpost-style base there.

But the amount of space occupied is also just now, which is a complete nightmare for the crew and the marines on board.

Therefore, regardless of Leon Fox's origin from the founding family, entering the military system with strict rules, many times, it is impossible to think of sharing joys and sorrows.

This is also where he particularly hates or envies war hyenas like Greybeard. It gives him the feeling that these guys who kill people and dance are really chic.

"But, where's the girl?" Leon thought to himself, he looked around from the corner of his eyes from the moment he came in, and he never saw a beautiful girl serving him.

"Short skirts, long legs, and beautiful breasts. Such hardware conditions, shouldn't they be equipped with uniforms to seduce? It's a pity that there are luxury ships and halls without beauties for a long time. I can't play at all! Could it be that the gray beard is A bunch of gays?"

Kane didn't pay much attention to Leon's mood at all. In his eyes, Leon was toilet paper. He used it when he needed it and threw it aside when he didn't need it.

Now his main negotiating object is the protoss.

He mentioned almost ten technical transactions in one breath. Of course, the specific names were not mentioned directly, but they were all referred to by related technologies embodied somewhere in the Golden Fleet.

After all, as Greybeard, he shouldn't have a deep understanding of Protoss technology, he has to play his role well.

After hearing this, Tassadar fell into deep thought. He said that he knows more about human beings, not just nonsense, but really has a very deep understanding of the human civilization in the Koprulu sector.

The most extensive and profound culture and philosophy are indeed not good enough, but they are really proficient in social forms, military affairs, technology and other fields.

Tasada found that the man in front of him was really good at measuring things. The skills he mentioned were all relatively high-end, but they didn't touch the bottom line of the protoss.

The bottom line of the so-called protoss is the technology related to the Kaidarin crystal. On the one hand, this kind of technology is the core of the Protoss technology system. On the other hand, these technologies are all built on the Kaidarin crystal, and it is impossible to peel it off, and it is impossible for the Protoss to use the Kaidarin crystal technology. to make a deal.

Kane is not just as simple as knowing how to measure. It is not necessary to give it to him for free because it is related to the Kedarin crystal. After all, it is unique to the S universe, and it cannot be used in other universes. High-end is useless.

Aldarius, who was suffering from frustration, was in a bad mood. Kane's lion's mouth made him extremely disgusted, and he expressed it very bluntly: "You are simply the best interpretation of human greed."

Kane didn't care, and kept a peaceful mind. The situation is now in his favour. As the party who holds the initiative, he will always appear more tolerant, and he is even willing to appreciate the other party's frustrated look.

He said: "We humans have a saying called 'You can ask for a price, and I can pay you back', which means that the essence of a transaction lies in bargaining besides sincerity. An acceptable price is the best, which means that they are both impartial to each other. Therefore, you should listen to my offer first."

Aldarius was quite unimpressed by Kane's face, and was about to yell back again, but Tassada stopped him, and Tassada didn't like Kane's face of profiteers, but Tassada could control his emotions, Not letting personal likes and dislikes affect the business, Tassadar secretly reminded Aldaris: They are here to negotiate and solve problems, not to make friends, let alone quarrel.

Yes, protoss friendships are not cheap at all. In the original history line, Jim Raynor was able to gain the friendship of Tassadar and others, in addition to his excellent moral integrity, and his style of deeds, but also because the situation faced by the protoss at that time was more severe than the current situation. Much, much worse.

At that time, in order to be loyal to his beliefs, Tasada was already disliked by people among the protoss. He only had friends (Zeratul) and dogs (Reynolds) around him, and he established a cross-racial friendship after showing a few adversities to see people's hearts. .

Kane doesn't have the luck of Destiny's Child, and he would rather not have the background condition that was achieved by sacrificing countless innocent people.

That's why this scene happened. He didn't intend to make friends, and Tasada and the others also regarded it as a transaction where money and goods were exchanged. In the future, when the opponent needs to slash the opponent, there is no need to hesitate.

With Kara's way, Aldaris can naturally understand Tassadar's thinking and true attitude very well, so he chose to remain silent and listen to Kane's quotation.

Kane poured himself some wine, snapped his fingers, and servicemen in military uniforms brought up perfume bottle-like containers on trays, filled with a purple liquid substance.

"The natural science of human beings analyzes and finds the essence of all things, and then uses them. Youjin and state hydrogen are also in this category. This is a new generation of psychoactive drugs produced by my research and development team. Hydrogen is addictive, and it works well. I believe it can be used as an energy drink for you.”

Tassadar and Aldaris were dumbfounded. Although Kane had repeatedly demonstrated his supernatural powers, the two still didn't expect that he could still bring out items to entertain the protoss.

Lyon who has his own bar and wants to drink whatever he wants? Fox is naturally not in the mood to drink at the moment, but his eyes are flaming. He thought: "The Fox family has a special venture capital company, and their eyes are good. They pay attention to the market and look for projects that can become cash cows. , why didn’t you find similar items? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be more effective if used to please the protoss?”

Talk about things at the banquet.

The essence of this statement is that eating and drinking can easily relax the mood and promote a better dialogue atmosphere. Otherwise, it will not be easy for a group of people who like dogs more and more the longer they live, to have an open and honest talk.

Now the atmosphere has eased, and both Tassadar and Aldaris have tried it. The liquid energy absorbed by fumigation works unexpectedly well.

It is pure and has no side effects. Tassadar feels excited, while Aldaris feels relieved. He feels that he has revealed Al's coordinates.

Kane then starts his offer.

Tassadar, Aldaris, and Leon all thought that Kane's biggest reliance was the wreckage of Leviathan sealed off by the clothes hanger cage. It turned out that Kane was more moral than they thought.

Kane said that the wreckage of Leviathan was just a stepping stone, an item that facilitated this negotiation, not a transaction.

Kane also took out technology. For example, the electromagnetic force field technology used on the clothes hanger.

"The technology itself is not particularly high-end. According to the energy technology shown by your protoss, it won't take too long to develop it after you know the idea. But what the protoss lacks most now is time. Only research at this time, so don't rush. ! And if you can get this technology directly and put it into use quickly, how much value will it generate?"

In order to illustrate the value of this technology, Kane also mentioned the magic stick angel he played before.

"Facts have proved that whether you want to see it or not, things are going according to what that extraordinary being said. The Zerg is indeed a sword-pointing protoss, and it is very likely that it is bound by some kind of force to occupy the gods of the protoss mother planet. The temple has become its supreme goal. I believe that this point can be thoroughly confirmed through in-depth research on brain worms."

"Then the question is, how true is what the angel said? Will Kara's way be used?"

"We human beings have a saying that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. I believe that if you take it seriously, at least make some preparations, it is better than if the truth is unfortunately revealed, and the loss is heavy, right? "..

"I don't know much about your way of Kara. But since it is the Internet, I naturally think of the Internet used by us humans. It is very convenient to transmit information on this network, but it is also convenient to transmit network viruses. In our human Internet world, it can be said that the contest between hackers who intrude by calculating viruses and other hackers and professional hackers is happening every day."

"I don't expect this kind of confrontation between good and evil in the Kara Network Road from you, but the minimum protection, such as gateways, should be set up? Specifically, a local area network can be established, and there are relevant responsible persons. If one terminal is compromised, the entire global network will be infected."

"In addition to starting from the software aspect, the hardware aspect must also keep up. The value of my electromagnetic force field can be reflected. It is completely isolated, including the exchange of spiritual energy. This is the addition of anti-resonance technology reversed by quantum communication technology. Electromagnetic force field technology, the pervasive force of the void, can't penetrate the force field barrier."

"It consumes less energy and is easy to arrange. It is a mature technology. The network management system coupled with this layout technology will greatly guarantee the safety of the Kara network. Use it to exchange your stasis capsule technology, I don’t think you’re at a loss.”  …

Kane broke up with Protoss one by one, basically following this routine, exchanging what seemed to be urgently needed by Protoss for its truly high-end technology.

"I admit that in terms of the true value of technology, your technology is more valuable. But if you count the added value, is the safety of hundreds of millions of Protoss compatriots worth very little? A great man of our humanity once said: If you lose your land, you will lose both. As long as the protoss are there, they can take back Al if they fall. Even if they are wandering in other regions, the protoss race will still prosper forever. On the contrary, hehe..."

Of course, Kane is not without dry goods, such as light spear technology, Kane is very angry and traded it out.

Leon was so anxious that he almost lost control, so he almost scolded him directly: he has forgotten his ancestors and sold his family for glory.

But to be honest, with Protoss' technology, it's actually not that difficult to conquer Light Spear.

They created AI a long time ago, and successfully reproduced the personality of the elite of the clan through AI. With such a technical background, there is not much pressure to use it for real-time calculation of shooting trajectories.

Although the technology of the Drakken Drill is very black technology, it may not be as black as the Kedarin crystal.

In general, Kane believes that the lack of lances in the soul is largely because their racial culture is not as bloody as human beings.

There is no one to help human civilization, and there are ways out all the way, including killing the same kind.

One of the three themes of human civilization is war.

Various scientific and technological inventions are always prioritized for use in warfare.

Whether you call it militaristic or cruel and warlike, one result is indisputable, that is, the achievements of human beings in the art of war are far ahead of the protoss.

Of course, humans have also been left behind by the Zerg. The Zerg is similar to Kane's iron-blooded swarm. There are only two states, war and preparation. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a complete civilization.

Speaking of returning to Protoss, what Protoss lacks is actually not technology, but war-related ideas, from weapons to tactics, and so on.

So when the light spear was unveiled in public today, Kane thought that the protoss would probably start this research later to see if a similar weapon could be developed, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be hanged from a long distance.

Not only Protoss, but Zerg will also think of their own way. This is the scientific and technological background that civilizations with interstellar navigation capabilities should have. This is a contest between civilizations, but if they can fight, it means that the technological gap between them is not too big.

One trick is eaten everywhere, civilization is a collection of hundreds of millions of individuals, and a group of talents from all walks of life emerges in endlessly. This kind of situation basically does not exist.

Furthermore, Kane is not willing to gamble on the character of the protoss, and the integrity of the Draken International and its federation dignitaries. Protoss has been secretly spying on human beings, who stole the patent, who can I ask to arbitrate the lawsuit? And those guys in the Federation, if they don't have the opportunity to create opportunities, I'm afraid they will sell drilling rig related technology.

Kane felt that if they sold it, it would be better for him to sell it. First of all, although his core purpose of strengthening himself is not to be a pure killer, it is indeed to save as many people as possible.

Secondly, his light spear is ready-made, and it was only shown not long ago. That means he has more negotiating standing than the Federation. Why was Tassadar willing to sell face to negotiate with him instead of ordering the Golden Fleet to snatch the clothes hanger? Isn't it because of the light spears of the glass slag fleet attacking the town? At least this is also a very important factor.

What about the Federation? Kane thinks that Leon Fox is very representative. Even if the negotiators who come to discuss business are more professional than Lyon in negotiations, but a weak country has no diplomacy, and the dog returns a dog's head gold to people, and people can be counted on to buy dogs equivalent to That bone-in meat worth a dog's head gold? They sent the dog away by saying, "I'll give you so much, you won't be able to eat it and let it stink for a long time."

Therefore, he, who is qualified for peer-to-peer negotiations to sell, can ask for a higher price.
