Chapter 979 Little Nolan Is a Bit Stuck

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 has never signed any agreements with other races. Lawrence was born and raised on the Ark, and has never seen what an alien looks like in his life—— The last time he saw Nangong Wuyue, he was shocked. Both of them are novice race representatives, and thanks to their excellent psychological quality, they will not fall off the chain even if they engage in this kind of negotiation for the first time.

There was actually nothing to say about the entire negotiation process, and everything went as smoothly as expected. The Siren Queen has finalized a lot of things with Hao Ren in advance, and Lawrence - now he just wants to find a temporary place for the Ark Fleet to stay, so that he can have a chance to repair the equipment in the spacecraft. In this country, the survival of the race has been endangered. In the face of big problems, he is willing to accept almost any conditions.

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 ownership of planet leases, and the top-level exchanges between two civilizations, such a meeting venue seems simple. It may take several years Later Kraken and Ark people would describe this point in great detail when describing this meeting in their history books: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the two leaders shaped history in the lounge of a small spaceship.

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. 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 completes repairs before then and finds a new, permanent settlement, they can leave early. If they still cannot find a suitable new home, the Kraken are willing to negotiate with the Ark civilization to solve the problem, such as extending the lease. the term.

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 races have little in common with the Ark races living on the sea. They probably only meet when they launch spaceships into space. However, even if the Sirens themselves did not care about the lease period, as a formal negotiation, the two parties still set a general period 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 except for the "Throne", the Kraken could choose any one of the remaining twelve arks as a "rent". In view of the fact that the Ark civilization itself has technologically collapsed and lost the ability to control the Ark, all operations in the process are 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 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: "It's better to transport one of the ships back to the outside world quickly and stop this unfortunate giant container... I just don't understand how a mere container cabin can occupy so much memory."

Nolan: "That's a space container, and it doesn't fit in with this ship. It requires a lot of calculations..."

"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 regulations: 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 , early termination of the agreement, etc., must be re-registered with me again. If both parties violate the agreement in any way, I will intervene - there are tens of thousands of armed drones that can reach Io within twenty-four hours, although I feel that I There’s no need for 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. The structural diagrams of the twelve giant Ark ships and the conditions of each ship were sent to Katrina. These were all the information Nolan compiled when he inspected the Arks. Hao Ren told the Siren Queen the truth about the situation of these ships: "To be honest, these ships are basically missing parts, mainly because the life support system is severely damaged. In the later period, the Ark fleet relied on each other to repair each other. So you guys If you can wait, I can put these ships together and make a complete one for you... This is what Lawrence also means."

"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 deal for the Krakens. Wealth, "As long as the energy and power systems are roughly complete, it doesn't matter whether the life-support equipment is the same. 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 what the newly activated super container on his spaceship would 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 small bright spot suddenly appeared on the front end of the small spacecraft. The bright spot was like starlight. It was very inconspicuous at first, but then it suddenly turned sharp. Expanded, 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. This makes This spherical shape can be observed with 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 she 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. 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 was still a little unhappy: "The space rift in Tanagus is too small. Every time I want to transport something big, I have to use a lot of technical means. Tsk, 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!"
