Chapter 332 Negotiation

Duke Leto was stunned.

Are we so stupid?

Anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he wanted to ask Qian Feiyan if he knew how much they paid to suppress the smart rebellion?

That was dozens or even tens of billions of casualties, nearly destroying the entire human civilization!

However, Duke Leto thought of the advanced technological level of the coalition government, and the anger in his heart suddenly went out, as if it had been poured out with water.

The Alliance Government's technology is much more advanced than that of the Galactic Empire, which proves that the Alliance Government is right.

In fact, the Galactic Empire is not completely devoid of computer technology. They just gave up using computer technology to calculate interstellar routes.

Because only sufficiently complex algorithms can calculate routes, and complex algorithms can easily be used by people with evil intentions to create artificial intelligence.

The Galactic Empire was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of straw ropes for ten years. The royal family issued a law at the beginning of the founding of the country, making it clear that anyone researching artificial intelligence would be sentenced to death if they were discovered.

Ten thousand years have passed, and this law has been soaked with the blood of daring people. It has been a long time since anyone dared to set foot in the field related to artificial intelligence.

"We can give you a set of programs for calculating interstellar routes and provide subsequent maintenance."

Qian Feiyan understood what Duke Leto was worried about, and he thoughtfully gave a solution: "This program is a black box operation. No one can break through our encryption measures and get the specific content of the program from the black box, so there is no need to worry about anyone taking advantage of it." This program creates artificial intelligence.”

The coalition government has obtained a vast amount of computer knowledge from the Creator civilization, including extremely advanced technical encryption methods.

With the computer capabilities of the Galactic Empire, they would not be able to crack files protected by this encryption method in another 20,000 years.

Hearing these words, Duke Leto felt relieved.

It wasn't that he could immediately accept using computer programs to replace spices, but he felt the sincerity in Qian Feiyan's words.

He believes that the coalition government really wants to solve the problem, rather than just perfunctory.

"It's a very important matter. I need some time to think about it." Duke Leto replied after thinking for a long time.

The spices belong not only to Atreides, but also to the entire Galactic Empire. He cannot represent the entire Galactic Empire and send Arrakis, which produces spices, to the United Government unless...

Atreides can turn against the entire Galactic Empire!

Duke Leto was frightened by his bold idea. He has always been a mature and prudent person. Why did he come up with this terrible idea just after seeing the coalition government's shield technology today?

However, if Atreides could have a fleet like that of the United Government, why not be the enemy of the entire Galactic Empire?

Although he has not seen the performance of the coalition government escort fleet on the battlefield, he can imagine how devastating it is.

If he had a fleet like this, he wouldn't be afraid even if he was really against the entire Galactic Empire!

"Your Majesty, the emperor's envoy will arrive at Caladan soon and announce the transfer of Arrakis to the Atreides family. How will you respond then?"

Qian Feiyan did not force Duke Leto to answer immediately, but asked a question calmly.

Duke Leto was silent.

He only received the news from the emperor this morning. He arrived on the coalition government's spaceship before he could discuss it in detail, and he didn't seriously think about how to reply to the emperor's messenger.

Arrakis is a trap for Atreides, and he is unwilling to go to Arrakis.

For the past eighty years, the Harkonnen family has controlled the spice business in Arrakis and made countless fortunes from it.

House Harkonnen used this wealth to expand their army, greatly outnumbering the Atreides.

Even if they only deal with the Harkonnen family, they will have to work hard. If the emperor still interferes, they will almost certainly die.

"We will not accept the emperor's order." Duke Leto collected his thoughts and said slowly, "We will not go to Arrakis to die. We will stick to Caladan. Even if the emperor doesn't like us Atreides, he will Don’t dare to do anything to us.”

The Atreides were a distinguished family with many friends across the galaxy.

The emperor would not have rashly attacked the Atreides family if he was not sure of killing them with one blow, otherwise the wave of rebellion they would set off later would be enough to give the royal family a drink.

"Then the Atreides family will be charged with disobedience."

Qian Feiyan shook his head and said with a hint of regret: "Didn't you ask for our suggestion? We hope you will consider our proposal carefully. As long as you agree to our request, we can move the escort fleet docked outside Caladan Lend it to you, and you will accept the emperor's order to go to Arrakis, where you will end the conflict with the royal family and the Harkonnen family in one fell swoop."

Duke Leto was silent for a long time. After a while, he nodded slowly. At the same time, he stood up and said, "I will seriously consider your suggestions. Thank you for your attention and trust in Atreides."

If we can get the help of the fleet outside Caladan, not to mention whether we can destroy the royal family, at least destroying a Harkonnen family should be effortless.

In this way, the crisis-ridden Arrakis will become a blessed place where Atreides shock the galaxy.

Qian Feiyan responded with a smile, and the negotiation ended.

Qian Feiyan sent Duke Leto out of the spaceship. He looked at Duke Leto's back and smiled with satisfaction.

This negotiation seems to have achieved no substantial results, but he has planted a seed in Duke Leto's heart.

As long as the situation of the Atreides family becomes worse, this seed will take root and pry open the stubborn stone in Duke Leto's heart, and persuade Duke Leto to agree to his request.

"Let Mark and Yue Kui come over." Qian Feiyan looked up and said to MOSS, "It's time to teach them a lesson."

After the initial reconstruction of the earth in "The Cage of Spirits" was completed, the protagonists of "The Cage of Spirits", Mark and Bai Yue Kui, left the planet transformation project team and joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Government.

They have special identities and outstanding talents. The United Government specially appointed Qian Feiyan to guide them, hoping to train them into talents as soon as possible, and arrange for them to follow Qian Feiyan to participate in diplomatic activities to visit the Atreides family.

After many days of study, Mark and Bai Yue Kui already have the basic qualities of excellent diplomats, and have greatly surpassed in fearlessness in the face of danger and combat effectiveness.

They all came from the harsh environment of the "Ling Cage" universe, and have experienced too many dangers, so they are inherently more advantageous than diplomats who grew up in the comfortable environment of the United Government.

"Teacher, I brought you soy milk and fried dough sticks!"

"Teacher, good morning!"
