I handed over to another world

President Zhang was silent for a moment and then quickly expressed his understanding of Chen Lin's decision.

After all, under the current circumstances, the interests of the Red Dragon Association are undoubtedly the primary consideration. The problems on Muling Star happen to focus on the primary interests of the Red Dragon Association. Since the group of humans from another world and time have adopted such means to launch a surprise attack on them, then this is the best way.

The nanorobots made of Vala metal are enough to destroy 85% of everything on Mu Lingxing. All the starships and ground forces entering Mu Lingxing will eventually be eliminated.

"You are right, Vice President Chen."

President Zhang nodded slightly, "We now need to focus on dealing with the crisis at hand and ensuring that the long-term interests of the association are not harmed."

After a brief thought, he finally agreed with Chen Lin's operation: "Notify the relevant departments to make follow-up preparations, including possible environmental restoration plans for Muling Star in the future. If possible, we can continue to invest nanorobots in this world. As long as they don't evacuate, the entire planet will not have any safe environment."

"This needs to become a subconscious awareness so that they know what fear is."

Chen Lin nodded. This was actually the most convenient and quickest way for the Red Dragon Association to deal with the situation.

"Then let's do this for now."

President Zhang hung up the phone, and Chen Lin quickly turned his attention back to Muling Star. Their Muling Star base has now activated the self-destruction program and destroyed a large number of enemy fleet members. The next step is to wait for the enemy fleet to contact them actively or passively.

"Vice President, we have received a message from an unknown source."

An intelligence officer suddenly reported, "The source cannot be traced, it came from Mu Lingxing!"

"Unknown source?"

Chen Lin frowned, "What's the content?"

"It's an encrypted message, but it has been cracked by our system... The message mentioned that they are willing to negotiate with us on the issue of Mu Lingxing."

The intelligence officer quickly responded to Chen Lin. Chen Lin and the intelligence specialist looked at each other. This proposal was beyond his expectations. In fact, Chen Lin did not expect that the other party would try to establish negotiations with them so quickly.

"It seems they are more rational than we thought."

Chen Lin pondered, "Perhaps it's because they have seen our strength and realized that there is no benefit in continuing to fight."

"Or it could be said that continuing the confrontation like this will not benefit either side."

“So, how should we respond?”

The intelligence officer also asked Chen Lin for his opinion. Chen Lin thought for a while, then said to the people around him: "Tell the source on the other side that we are willing to negotiate, but the premise is that they must first stop all hostile actions and withdraw from Muling Star. This is the basic premise."

"I think we can use this opportunity now to re-evaluate our presence on Kodak and our relationship with them."

"We need to prepare for this negotiation - let the Association's monitoring station on Kodak collect all the information about the other fleet and analyze their weaknesses. I need to know what we can give and what we absolutely cannot give up."

"Yes!"

Team members immediately got busy analyzing data and developing strategies.

Chen Lin was thinking about a deeper issue - after this incident, how will the Red Dragon Association plan its future on Muling Star? It is very necessary for him to contact President Zhang now.

Although the phone call was just hung up not long ago.

Not long after, the Mu Lingxing intelligence personnel at the scene made the latest report to Chen Lin again - they had already responded to the source of the information in accordance with Chen Lin's wishes, and now they just had to wait patiently.

"Okay, good job."

Chen Lin nodded. He knew that all he could do now was to wait. Whether the association would go to war or make peace with the so-called human fleet that invaded Muling Star would depend on their subsequent receipt information.

A few hours later, the other party's reply finally came.

Unexpectedly, the opposing fleet agreed to Chen Lin’s preconditions for ceasefire and withdrawal, and requested to arrange the time and place for negotiations as soon as possible.

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately contacted President Zhang and gave him a brief report on the situation on the scene.

After hearing this, President Zhang said, "It seems that they really don't want to fight anymore... This is good, we can buy more time to consolidate our position."

"indeed so,"

Chen Lin responded, a hint of relief in his voice, "They agreed to withdraw troops and ceasefire, which provides us with an opportunity to resolve the dispute peacefully. We should arrange the details of the negotiations as soon as possible and ensure that our position is fully reflected. At least for the planet Mu Lingxing, we have long been accustomed to working and mining resources on this planet. At the very least, these people must withdraw from here unconditionally."

……

Inside the invading fleet's flagship, the atmosphere in the command cabin was also extremely tense - the fleet's leadership was having a heated discussion on whether to accept the Red Dragon Association's proposal for peace talks.

"Are we really going to withdraw? We have paid so much, are we just going to give up like this?"

An officer's voice was filled with reluctance.

"Our losses have exceeded our expectations, and the power of those nanorobots is beyond our imagination."

Another officer answered, his face pale, obviously still traumatized by the previous battle, "If we continue like this, we might really be wiped out."

The commander of the fleet was a middle-aged woman. She was sitting in the main seat with a frown on her face, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

"We have to face the reality. Our fleet has suffered heavy damage. Continuing to fight will do us no good! The power displayed by this damn association, especially those nanorobots and super artificial intelligence, leaves us no chance of winning!"

"But withdrawing our troops means that all our previous efforts have been in vain. How can we explain this to our superiors?"

"Explain?"

"If we all die, how will we explain it?!"

"The most important thing now is to save the fleet and our soldiers! We can withdraw first and then make long-term plans!" "The people on Earth can't accept such a result. The group of people who came before were mining companies. They were defeated by those damn natives and were ridiculed for several years after they returned. But now we are here again, but we announced the withdrawal without even seeing the enemy!?"

"This is unacceptable even to me!"

The debate in the conference room lasted for a long time, and finally forced the fleet commander to stand up and speak.

Her decision was firm and decisive: "We accept the Red Dragon Association's proposal for peace talks, immediately cease all hostile actions, and prepare to withdraw our troops."

Although the officers in the conference room were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey the orders.

They knew that this was the best option at the moment - their super-Earth home planet was on the brink of collapse, and it would be a waste to fight for such a small planet and an invisible enemy, or even to waste their few fleet forces.

The impact of the minerals on this planet on the entire society is actually not as high as imagined. After all, the universe is so big, and the rare items on this planet may not be as valuable as iron ore on other planets.

At the same time, the fleet's intelligence department was also analyzing the Red Dragon Association's nanorobots and super artificial intelligence.

"…Their technology is far beyond our expectations. If we can't find a way to counter it, we will never be able to gain a foothold on Kodak."

"We need more information to understand the core of these technologies. If the other party agrees to negotiate, then the following information may become our bargaining chip."

The engineers and scientists of the fleet looked at each other in bewilderment. The resolute measures displayed by this invisible enemy caught many of them off guard. They were now arriving on standard military starships, which were not even able to counter the artificial intelligence and other devices built into these equipment.

This took them very by surprise.

After intense preparations, the negotiations between the Red Dragon Association and the invading fleet were finally conducted at a temporary base on the ground. Because this was the first direct contact between the two sides, the overall atmosphere was very tense.

As the representative of the Red Dragon Association, Chief Wang led his team into the negotiation room aggressively.

The commander of the opposing fleet had actually introduced himself in the previous contact. His name was Alicia. He walked in with her officers and advisers, who were also on high alert.

Representatives from both sides sat down at the two ends of the long table. Sparks flew when their eyes met, and the tense atmosphere almost dropped the temperature in the room by several degrees.

"Thank you for agreeing to the peace talks. I am Wang, the leader of the Red Dragon Association."

Person in charge Wang was the first to break the silence, his voice was cold and full of coercion.

"I'm the fleet commander, Alicia."

Alicia responded, her tone revealing an unmistakable toughness, "We have no regrets about the previous conflict, but for the benefit of both parties, we are willing to sit down and find a solution."

Manager Wang sneered and said, "Let's get straight to the point. The ownership of Muling Star is not open to negotiation for us in the Red Dragon Association."

"Our investment and presence on Muling Star after you left have been wiped out by your attack. Let's settle this before we negotiate."

Alicia's face darkened slightly. She clearly felt the other party's hostility: "We have also invested enough resources in this planet. It is very difficult for us to give up."

She turned on the holographic projector, displayed several proposals, and said in a firm tone: "I have some cooperation models here, I hope you can take a look."

"First, we jointly develop Muling Star, but the distribution of resources must be fair; second, the Red Dragon Association can retain the area and rebuild the existing base, but must pay us compensation for resource development!"

"If the Red Dragon Association refuses to cooperate, we will take back Muling Star at all costs!"

Manager Wang and his team carefully examined the proposal. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. The team members behind him exchanged glances, not knowing how to make a decision.

Finally, it was Director Wang who broke the silence: "Joint development is fine, but we must be the leading party."

"The Red Dragon Association will also not pay compensation to anyone. Muling Star is ours, and this will not change."

The ensuing discussion was filled with tension, with the two sides arguing over issues such as resource allocation, technology sharing, and security protocols.

Every confrontation is like two armies facing off, neither side giving an inch.

As the negotiations deepened, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement full of compromise in the evening - the Red Dragon Association would retain the base and facilities on Mu Lingxing, but agreed to share some resource development rights with the fleet.

This fleet agreed to withdraw from Mu Lingxing, while retaining a certain share of the rights to future resource development, and both sides promised not to take hostile actions.

When Director Wang and Alicia signed the agreement, although the atmosphere was still tense, both parties understood that this was the best result they could achieve.

Although the peace and future of Mu Lingxing was full of uncertainty, at least at this moment, they had jointly mapped out a possible path for it.

Chen Lin was very satisfied with Wang's attitude during the on-site negotiations. Although he did not go to the scene, he watched the whole live broadcast with the senior staff of the association. It turned out that this group of people were indeed humans from another parallel universe. The attitudes and behaviors they displayed were exactly the same as theirs.

"Do they understand what the Red Dragon Association is like?"

While watching the live broadcast, President Zhang suddenly asked Chen Linlai, "According to the artificial intelligence and related information cracking technology they have developed, I am afraid that many things are still in a state of confusion, right?"

Chen Lin didn't care. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to the live broadcast screen: "These are not important, President Zhang."

"They now think they are making a deal with this planet or a certain force, but in fact they don't care who the other party is."

"All they care about is what kind of benefits they can get. Didn't we already decipher the purpose of this starship coming here through AI?"

Chen Lin looked at President Zhang and said, "The Earth in their world is already on the verge of collapse. The resource problem on the mother planet is huge. Room-temperature superconducting materials are actually only needed by some capital companies. They are completely incompatible with their energy needs."

President Zhang nodded slightly: "Perhaps we can try to make some deals with them next?"

"That's really good."

Chen Lin put down his teacup, a thoughtful look on his face: "But what can the other world offer that would interest us? After all, they are lagging behind us in all aspects." (End of this chapter)
