I handed over to another world

"We have everything they have, and even better and more!"

Chairman Zhang said to Chen Lin beside him, "The value of these people to us is not as high as we imagined."

"indeed so,"

Chen Lin nodded slightly. "Combined with the information we obtained from deciphering their database using AI, it can be seen that the technology mastered by humans in this parallel world has a certain focus. They are unable to develop in multiple fields and aspects simultaneously."

"At present, it seems that what they are good at is actually resource development. Most of the resources on the earth have even been mined by them, resulting in the depletion of resources on the entire planet..."

"The weaker part is the research and development of artificial intelligence. Their starship technology has also not surpassed ours as much as we imagined. Even the weapons and equipment on the starships are lagging behind in every aspect."

After hearing this, President Zhang paused for a few seconds, and then asked Chen Lin, "Then... is there a possibility that although their technology tree is off, they still have a certain field that they are extremely good at, such as mastering some planet-level super technology?"

"There is no such information in the database."

Chen Lin shook his head. "There's no need to worry. This civilization poses very little threat to our Red Dragon Association. The first round of negotiations is basically in our favor. Let's see what happens next."

"Whether it's a war or peace, we just need to be prepared."

"That's right."

……

The second round of negotiations began in a tense atmosphere.

Director Wang and Alicia sat opposite each other again, but this time, the atmosphere was obviously more tense than the first time.

The Red Dragon Association's demands were partially rejected in the first round of negotiations, which made some of the Red Dragon Association's senior executives feel a little unhappy. Chen Lin was even more surprised that this fleet dared to reject their negotiation demands. For a moment, he directly ordered that the negotiations here should be tougher - anyway, the main body of the Red Dragon Association is on the Origin Star, and the most they have on the Muling Star side is a negotiation team of a dozen people.

Manager Wang was also very troubled by the other party's repeated changes. You know, he thought that the matter had been resolved, at least the cooperation between the Red Dragon Association and this starship civilization could slowly begin.

As a result, the starship commander who was negotiating with them came today and directly rejected part of the negotiation content, which meant that some unexpected things must have happened after she returned.

After the second round of negotiations began, Wang spoke directly to the commander of the starship: "Ms. Alicia, we at the Red Dragon Association regret some of your decisions. You should know that the terms of cooperation we proposed are based on maximizing the common interests of both parties."

"However, it seems that you do not fully understand our sincerity."

Alicia responded helplessly to the negotiator in front of her: "Mr. Wang, we do have reservations about certain terms. After all, some of your requirements are too harsh and do not conform to the principle of equal cooperation."

Person in charge Wang smiled slightly, then pressed the remote control in his hand, and the large screen in the conference room lit up, showing the Red Dragon Association’s latest scientific and technological achievement - a super engine that can achieve heavy matter fusion.

"Ms. Alicia, this is a new energy engine developed by our Red Dragon Association. It can obtain various types of energy by consuming common heavy materials. This should be a great help to your resource shortage problem, right?"

Alicia's eyes flashed with surprise - she had never expected that the Red Dragon Association actually possessed this kind of super black technology that was usually seen in science fiction works. For the Earth in this parallel world where she was at this time, resource depletion has become a very big core problem.

Now the Red Dragon Association actually possesses such technology. If it could be used on the Earth where she lives, then the Earth as the mother planet might not be in such a state of decline as it is today.

Alicia took a deep breath and tried her best to hide her shock. She knew that this moment was crucial to the direction of the negotiations.

She sorted out her thoughts and then spoke slowly: "Mr. Wang, your technology is amazing. This heavy matter fusion engine is indeed what we urgently need... However, we must also consider the long-term and sustainability of our cooperation."

"Although your technology is advanced, we cannot ignore the fairness of the cooperation terms."

Manager Wang kept smiling. He knew that the Red Dragon Association had played this card just right, but he also knew that Alicia's words were only to lower the stakes on his side and gain better exchange items for her side.

He responded: "Ms. Alicia, we fully understand your concerns. We proposed this technology not to exert pressure, but sincerely hope to help you solve your resource problems... As for the terms of cooperation, we can discuss further until we can find a balance that both parties can accept."

"Ms. Alicia, our Red Dragon Association has always been committed to promoting scientific and technological progress and interstellar cooperation. Our goal is not only commercial interests, but also the hope to promote the common development of the entire interstellar society."

“Although the cooperation terms we proposed may seem strict, they are necessary measures to ensure the safety and reasonable use of technology.”

"If you are unwilling to agree, then many subsequent collaborations will not be able to proceed normally."

Alicia nodded. She knew that the Red Dragon Association's position was not unreasonable, but she also had to fight for the best conditions for her planet. After all, cooperating with this group of people was a very risky move.

She cautiously proposed her suggestion to Director Wang: "Mr. Wang... We are willing to consider your technical cooperation, but we also hope that you can provide some support for the technological development of our planet, especially in artificial intelligence and starship weaponry... We hope that through this cooperation, both sides can achieve complementary technology and common progress."

Person in charge Wang and the people around him looked at each other and immediately couldn't help laughing.

"You guys really dare to say that."

Manager Wang said to the woman in front of him with a smile: "This is our core technology. How can we share it with you so easily? Even some of our own departments need to go through layers of approval if they want to apply for some of the technology. Even other associations in our civilization do not have these capabilities."

Alicia remained calm in the face of Director Wang's laughter. She had already expected such a reaction.

She responded calmly: "Mr. Wang, I understand your concerns, but please consider that if we can make progress in artificial intelligence and starship weaponry, our value to you will be greatly enhanced. This is not only beneficial to us, but also an investment in your long-term interests."

Manager Wang interrupted at this time: "Ms. Alicia, the cooperation model you proposed is indeed novel, but we need to ensure that such cooperation does not threaten the technological advantages of our Red Dragon Association... We are willing to provide some non-core technical support, but what you asked for is indeed beyond our bottom line."

Alicia was not in a hurry. She had already prepared the next strategy: "Mr. Wang, I suggest that we set up a technology sharing framework. Within this framework, we can gradually achieve technology exchange. At that time, you can first provide some relatively basic technologies. As the cooperation deepens, we can gradually transition to more advanced technology exchanges."

"How do you think about this?" "We can even sign a strict confidentiality agreement to ensure the safety of your technology."

Of course, it was the first time that Director Wang heard of such a way of cooperation. He directly contacted the senior management of the association on Chen Lin's side, and the negotiations with Alicia were temporarily suspended.

"Vice President Chen, do you think this will work?"

"Sure, of course!"

Chen Lin gave his answer with a smile, "Manager Wang, please ask clearly what price the other party is willing to pay!"

"what?"

"We don't share this technology for free. This is an exchange."

Chen Lin's words sounded like they were not important, but Wang felt a chill down his spine when he heard them: "Ask the other party what they want. After we figure it out, we can determine the cost based on that!"

"We put forward our demands based on the other side's demands. This is called cooperation."

"If we are the only one providing technology, doesn't that directly represent assistance?"

"This won't do us any good!"

Manager Wang nodded in sudden realization. He immediately understood what Chen Lin meant. These people on Muling Star were originally testing the issue. It would be a loss for the association to directly refuse or agree. Only by directly proposing their own demands on an equal footing could they offset the other side's various strange demands.

When Manager Wang returned to the negotiation table, he had already figured out what to do. He adjusted his tie, making sure that his image retained the dignity and professionalism of the Red Dragon Association. At this time, the representative on the opposite side, Alicia, had a look of expectation in her eyes, waiting for his response.

Director Wang cleared his throat and began his speech: "Ms. Alicia, your proposal is very creative. Our Red Dragon Association is willing to consider such a technology sharing framework."

“But as you mentioned before, this is a mutually beneficial process, and we need to be clear on our side about the price you are willing to pay for it.”

Alicia nodded slightly. She knew that this was part of the negotiation and both parties were looking to maximize their interests.

"Mr. Wang, we are willing to provide the unique mineral resources of our planet. These resources may have unexpected uses in your technological development. In addition, we can also share some of the experience and technology we have accumulated in interstellar navigation."

Director Wang smiled and said, "In fact, the association doesn't have such an urgent need for various minerals."

"Besides, you have already admitted that your home planet is on the verge of collapse due to resource depletion. This cannot be used as a bargaining chip."

Alicia pondered for a while. She really couldn't think of anything valuable that she could offer - apart from the mother planet and the more than tens of billions of various population resources in the entire space galaxy, she really didn't know what else she could use as a bargaining chip.

"I learned through some channels that there are tens of billions of humans living in your galaxy, is that right?"

At this time, Manager Wang gave Alicia a different idea. Alicia hesitated for a moment. Although she didn't know where the news came from, she could confirm that the news was true.

“We need a large market.”

Manager Wang said to Alicia with a smile, "The tens of billions of people on your home planet and galaxy are a large enough supermarket. We are willing to sell all kinds of supplies in this area."

"But...how do you sell the stuff?"

Alicia was still in a state of complete shutdown. After all, it would take several years to drive a starship from her galaxy to Mu Ling Star. Could it be that these people would also use this method to sell things by then?

"You don't need to worry about that."

Manager Wang smiled at Alicia and said, "This can be used as part of the bargaining chip. If you are willing, we can negotiate on this kind of information."

"This... is possible."

……

At this time, Chen Lin, President Zhang and a group of senior members of the association were discussing the matter with a smile.

"The database shows that there are quite a few resources in the solar system where this Earth in the parallel universe is located. However, due to the fact that their special fusion device has never made a breakthrough, many resources cannot be developed. Our contribution to the fusion device can be regarded as timely assistance."

"Can we earn back our capital this time through these means?"

"Of course! This is a supermarket for tens of billions of people. Even if we only use conventional currency and industrial products, it will be enough to make back all the losses."

"It's not like helping someone in need, it's just that everyone has their own needs."

"It just requires some initial investment. I estimate that at least tens of billions of dollars will be needed in initial investment, which is somewhat contrary to the conservative strategy we have decided on before."

Chen Lin was silent for a long time before speaking: "This is actually the greatest degree of "evil" we can do. The humans over there are almost exactly like us. They are a replica of the Earth in a parallel time and space."

President Zhang also nodded slowly: "To attack such a human being is somewhat contrary to our original intention."

"That's true. I didn't feel any psychological burden when dealing with the orcs on the Origin Star. It was mainly because those guys were completely different species from humans..."

Everyone was silent for a few seconds after hearing this - the moral bottom line of the Red Dragon Association is still too high. (End of this chapter)
