Time-traveling island

"May I ask our elven guests, could you please tell us about your world?"

A leader wanted to inquire about the situation in the magical world, but before Amberly could speak, Dewayne said, "The Queen sent us to Earth to investigate first. We have seen many differences from our elven kingdom. As for how to view Earth and Mr. Lin's island, the Queen and the elders need to discuss it before making a decision."

Even Lin An could tell the difference.

Neither Wang Wanxiu nor Su Zhuoyao held high positions, so they spoke and chatted quite casually.

The elves, including Devien, came from a kingdom, and many things had to be considered in the interests of their kingdom, so they couldn't easily reveal them to others.

The leader nodded in understanding and said slowly and steadily, "We Chinese are a warm and hospitable people, and we are willing to communicate and cooperate with you based on the principles of equality, mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation."

After saying that, he smiled and said to Lin An, "When you translate later, remember to translate well, otherwise it will be bad to cause a diplomatic misunderstanding."

Lin An was actually speaking Mandarin to Amberley; it was the spaceship's core that translated his words.

After listening, Amberley asked him curiously, "How do countries on Earth conduct diplomacy?"

Lin An said, "Because of tools such as airplanes, ships, and trains, as well as communication tools such as telephones and the Internet, there are frequent exchanges between countries on Earth, and a lot of trade between countries. Generally speaking, when two countries conduct trade, the presidents... that is, the emperors and kings, usually have to meet with each other, sign a letter of intent for cooperation, and then trade can proceed."

He smiled at Lil and said, "This is where the embassy comes in."

Amberlie understood the gist of it and said, "Although we elves are not a hospitable race, we are willing to communicate and cooperate with you. I will persuade the Queen to build the Elven Kingdom's embassy on your territory."

Lin An gave an awkward laugh. He was certain that Amberley thought he was a lord in China and that the island was his territory.

But actually, that's not true at all!

The leaders seemed to have guessed as well, but they didn't ask any further questions. They just smiled and said, "Welcome to China, Elf race."

After discussing the three worlds, the leader turned to inquire about the alien spaceship in detail, because that was the main event!

Lin An was prepared and said directly, "The spaceship is currently in a semi-damaged state. A large number of vehicles and instruments have been destroyed, and according to my observation, Earth's current technology is far from sufficient to repair it. Therefore, I plan to repair the entire spaceship slowly."

Some broken instruments or technologies can be provided to domestic scientists for research, but—”

"According to my current thinking."

Lin An calmly stated, "Having discovered this alien spaceship, I bear responsibility for the potential consequences. Will it lead humanity to a bright future, or will its misuse lead to human destruction? I think this requires careful consideration!"

Inside the meeting room, and on the projector screen, the leaders were all pondering his words.

After a long pause, the leader finally spoke: "I understand your approach, Lin An. Restraint and limited use are good. I also support orderly changes, rather than the violent fluctuations in the global stock market like yesterday."

He laughed and said, "Especially with some groundbreaking technologies, we need to be more cautious. After all, Lin An, your every move affects billions of people around the world."

"I'm ashamed!"

Lin An said modestly, feeling relieved that he had finally revealed the truth.

He wanted to have control of the spaceship.

How to use it is up to him alone.

Now that the conversation was out in the open, one of the leaders couldn't contain himself any longer and eagerly asked, "What kind of spaceship do you want to transfer to the country?"

"The one outside."

Lin An pointed, and the anti-gravity landing ship quietly flew to the window. Manager Liu quickly pointed the camera outside.

Lin An commanded the landing ship to perform a demonstration of flying up and down, hovering, flying away rapidly and then returning, which captivated the leaders, whose eyes clearly revealed an irrepressible excitement.

This is a spaceship that completely defies current knowledge of Earth science!

Anti-gravity, faster than light speed, no need for chemical fuels, virtually unlimited energy, and the ability to traverse time and space—this is not a spaceship, but a revolutionary treasure trove of technology!

"certainly."

Lin An emphasized: "What I traded out was a landing ship that couldn't be started. I don't know the specific reason for the damage. It might be repaired soon, or it might never be able to start."

Don't say that a spaceship that can't be started is worthless. If he were to announce that it would be for sale, dozens of countries around the world would be willing to pay for it, while the rest would know that they can't afford it.

Lin An sold one ship because it was for his motherland.

"That's enough."

The leader smiled and said, "Our country is already a world power. Whether or not there are alien spaceships, we can defend our national interests. It would be good to obtain some new technologies from alien spaceships, but if the technological gap is too large and we can't develop any technology at all, we won't blame you for selling the country a metal shell."

Lin An smiled.

Another leader asked, "How much are you planning to sell it for?"

Lin An hesitated.

The leader laughed and said, "Don't worry, just suggest it. Even an alien spaceship that can't be started is more expensive than the most expensive fighter jet or aircraft carrier on Earth."

This is an indication of the price.

Lin An laughed and said, "I remember an aircraft carrier costs several billion US dollars, but I don't need that many. So, considering that I want to hire 100,000 Shunguo citizens to build the island, I'll ask for two billion this time."

"US dollars?"

"No, it's two billion yuan."

"Not expensive."

The leader laughed and said, "You may not know this before, but building an island requires more than a few billion. According to your idea, you want to develop the island into a place for people from different parts of the world to communicate? If you want to build an island that can accommodate a million people, it will cost a lot."

Lin An said, "I do have this idea, but I have another concern, and I haven't decided yet. Two billion is enough for now."

"Okay, let's trade it for two billion." The leader asked, "You want to use the money to buy supplies and then send them to the island?"

"Yes, please help me, leaders."

"No problem. We just brought the landing ship back with us. Do you need a construction team? We can get a few construction teams from state-owned enterprises to help you build it. We can discuss the price later."

Lin An smiled helplessly. Once the construction team starts, building bridges and constructing buildings, it would be difficult to even hear a sound from a project costing billions.

"The construction team is not needed for now; I need to think about it some more."

He has his own plans.

We don't know much about the situation in the three worlds yet. Once we understand the situation and determine some things, such as whether the elves will come to live there, how many of the refugees from Shun Kingdom will be willing to stay, and so on, we will start construction.

Now we only need to consider the basic needs of 100,000 people.

The construction can be changed, but the island is still barren. We need to start planting trees and flowers as soon as possible and transform the island environment!
