Today's meeting was a novel experience for both Catrina and Lawrence.The Siren Queen has rarely left the deep sea for as long as she can remember, and has never signed any agreements with other races, and Lawrence was born and raised on the Ark, and has never seen what aliens look like in his life - he was taken aback the last time he saw Nangong May.Both of them are novice representatives of the race, and thanks to their own psychological quality, even if it is the first time to engage in this kind of negotiation, they will not fall off the chain.There was not much to say about the whole negotiation process, and everything went smoothly as expected.The Siren Queen had already finalized a lot of things with Hao Ren in advance, and Lawrence, who was now just looking for a temporary place for the Ark fleet to have a chance to repair the equipment in the ship, was willing to accept almost everything in the face of a big problem that had already endangered the survival of the race.And the Siren Queen only needs him an ark, which is far better than he imagined.The negotiation took place in a break room next to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, and as a major meeting to decide the life and death of the race, the ownership of the lease of the planet, and the exchange between the top level of the two civilizations, such a meeting was really simple, and perhaps the Kraken and the Arkman would describe this meeting in their history books years later: the two leaders shaped history in the break room of a small ship on a certain day, year, month, and day.There were only five people in the negotiations, representing the Sovereign of Io with the Siren Queen and her two clerks, and Lawrence alone representing the Ark civilization, and Hao Ren as a witness to all this.There was also an outsider observer: Nolan Jr. sat at the negotiating table and was responsible for documenting the entire meeting in detail.Eventually, the two sides finalized a lease agreement for the planet, and the Ark fleet was granted the right to temporarily dock on the surface of Io for the price of a spaceship, and the docking time was not to exceed two hundred years, and this time was mutually agreed upon by both parties.If the Ark fleet completes repairs and finds a new, permanent settlement before then, they can leave early, and if they never find a suitable new home, the Krakens are willing to negotiate with the Ark civilization to resolve the issue, such as extending the lease period.Catherine didn't really mind how long these Ark fleets stayed in Io, because it was impossible for her and her people to move back to live anyway, and Io was idle, and even if the Kraken returned to Io, they were also a deep-sea race, and they didn't have much contact with the Ark people living on the sea, probably only when the two sides launched a spaceship into space.However, even though the Krakens themselves did not care about the lease term, as a formal negotiation, the two sides agreed on a general term of "two hundred years".It's just that Hao Ren and Katrina both know that this deadline is of little significance.Lawrence had no problem with the Siren's request, saying that in addition to the "Throne", the Sirens could choose any one of the remaining twelve arks as a "rental".In view of the fact that the Ark civilization itself has collapsed and lost the ability to control the Ark, all operations in the process are fully entrusted to the third party of this negotiation, that is, Hao Ren, for assistance.After the two sides exchanged opinions, and the two Kraken clerks also handed over the recorded written materials to Caterina and Lawrence respectively, little Nolan got up from the table: "All the information has been kept on file and recorded, and it will be uploaded to the Civilization Supervision Department in 180 seconds. ”Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "Why do you speak at this pace?"
”Nolan pointed to his small body: "If you activate the loading container, you can control thirteen ark boats at the same time, it's a bit of a kakakaka......"
Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat: "Let's hurry up and transport one of the ships back to the watch world first, and stop this unlucky giant container......
I can't figure out how a mere container compartment can take up such a large amount of memory. ”Nolan: "That's a space container and a cabinet, and it doesn't match the ship, and the amount of calculation is greatly ......"
"Don't talk about it, I'm tired of listening to you," Hao Ren immediately waved his hand, then stood up and looked at Caterina and Lawrence, "Then your matter is settled, and I will supervise it as a third party."
Well, although we are all friends, I still declare the following two points in accordance with the regulations: first, the parties to the agreement promise to strictly implement the content of the agreement, unless force majeure is encountered; Second, if both parties to the agreement need to renew the agreement, change the agreement, terminate the agreement in advance, etc., they must re-file with me again.If there are any violations of the agreement on either side, I will intervene - there are tens of thousands of armed drones that can reach Io in twenty-four hours, although I don't think I need them. ”Lawrence stood up with a solemn expression: "In my lifetime, I will not break the contract." ”In order to save the system resources of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform and prevent any problems when navigating the other twelve arks, Hao Ren decided to let Nolan transport the giant ship that the Kraken had agreed to claim back to the Table World first.The structural drawings of the twelve Ark ships and the condition of each ship were brought to Caterina, all of which Nolan had compiled when he had inspected the Ark.Hao Ren told the Kraken 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 seriously damaged, and the Ark fleet relies on dismantling each other to maintain it in the later stage.So if you can wait, I can put these ships together and get you a whole one......
That's what Lawrence meant. ”"Don't bother," Catrina said with glowing eyes as she looked at the images of the ships on the holographic projection, each of which was larger than Nasaton's and an unprecedented wealth to the Krakens, "as long as the energy and power systems are roughly intact, the life support devices are the same."
To be honest, the life-sustaining equipment used by humans is not of much use to us, and it is also scrap iron smelting when it is pulled back, and we can still study the power group and the like. ”Hao Ren thought about it: "Then you can pick one." ”Katrina immediately turned her head to discuss with the two clerks beside her, and finally pointed to one of the ships: "It's called the 'Long Road', it looks big!"
”Hao Ren: "......"
Little Nolan sighed: "I feel a little Kakakaka......"
Everyone was waiting in the drone nest for the time being, and Nolan drove the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace alone to recover the ark chosen by the Kraken Queen.Hao Ren 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 himself.He saw the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace slowly fly towards the "Long Road" Ark, and then a small bright spot suddenly appeared at the front end of the small spaceship, which was like starlight, which was inconspicuous at first, but then expanded dramatically, forming a bright ball with a diameter of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and continued to expand.On the surface of the shiny sphere, the images of the stars of the universe can be seen projected on it in a distorted way: the sphere was originally a distorted surface of space, and because the space was closed, the starlight bent on its surface, allowing the sphere to be observed by the naked eye.Otherwise it should be unobservable.This distorted spatial surface continued to expand, and in just half a minute, it exploded to the point where it was enough to engulf the Ark Giant Ship more than a hundred kilometers long, and the Ark slowly fell into the strange mirror surface that curved like the surface of a black hole, and soon disappeared completely.Then the spherical surface quickly shrank, returning to a device in the bow of the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform, and Nolan's image appeared on the communication screen, this time she simply turned her whole person into a pixel map: "Recovered Bi Bi ......"
"Okay, okay, you hurry up with the data terminal," Hao Ren had a black line on his head, "I'm really tired and panicked for you." ”After the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace put the Ark into the container bay, the data terminal put the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace into the carry-on space, and finally they returned to Earth through the rift in the Reality Wall of Tanagus, which is the whole transfer process.It sounds a bit incredible, but for the Xiling Divine System, which is full of spatial technology, this kind of spatial nesting trick is already an outdated technology many years ago.However, Hao Ren was still a little unhappy: "The scale of the spatial rift in Tanagus is too small, and every time you want to transport something big, you have to use a lot of technical means, tsk, it's really troublesome." ”Vivien couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard his words: "Could it be that you really expect a big hole in the wall of reality?"
”Hao Ren smacked his lips: "The universe is so big, we have only explored such a little place, maybe there is a big rift......"
Before he finished speaking, Lily and Vivien jumped over and gagged him vigorously: "Shut up!"
