Chapter 570 Tony: What is he going to do?

What is the most important thing in the financial industry?

Perhaps many people will give different answers, but all financial practitioners agree that "being well-informed" is one of the lifebloods of the financial industry.

As the leader of the American consortium and one of the largest financial consortiums, the Rockefeller family is well aware of the importance of information.

Therefore, the White House, the Pentagon, and Capitol Hill, the most important places in America, are not much different from the Rockefeller family's own toilets.

Any major event that happens in these places will be reported to the leaders of the major financial groups as soon as possible.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family and the person in charge of the Morgan Alliance received important news almost at the same time.

When Tony saw their expressions change drastically, he immediately and quietly activated the artificial intelligence that had already invaded the White House and Pentagon intranets, and immediately got the news.

His foundation in this world is not as good as that of the old consortium, so he can only rely on technical means.

But besides shock, Tony's expression was more of confusion.

"What on earth is he going to do..."

Soon, other large conglomerates received the news one after another, and smaller conglomerates also showed their talents, and the news spread quickly.

China's diplomatic representatives went directly to the White House to meet with Clinton, who had not yet left office, and stated that their country's astronomers had also found habitable planets, and more than one!

"Absurd! Ridiculous!" The Wright family patriarch screamed after being slapped in the face in public: "This is simply a shameful scam! What do they think a habitable planet is? The braids on the back of a pig's head? Can it be easily picked up?"

Obviously, he was a little panicked.

As the patriarch of a consortium family, he deeply understands the operating rules of American society. In the face of huge interests, the consortium will even sell out its own family members, let alone other families?

If this news is true, in exchange for the coordinates of habitable planets in the hands of the Chinese, the other consortiums present would definitely not mind handing over several families headed by the Wright family to appease the anger of the Chinese.

If they were in the same situation, the Wright family would do the same!

Since tasting the sweetness of "New America", all American foundations have unanimously agreed to increase funding for interstellar exploration. "NASA" is no longer a useless organization that only burns money and generates no returns. All the financial sponsors have high hopes for them, hoping that these astronomical practitioners will keep up the good work and continue to discover new habitable planets.

Unfortunately, this is harder than finding a needle in a haystack!

Although they have artificial wormhole technology and can build outposts on desolate planets hundreds of light years away, years of large-scale exploration have yielded nothing.

There are too many factors in the universe that affect human vision. It is countless times more complex than the ocean on Earth, and you cannot see clearly just by walking far enough.

Therefore, if the Chinese really observe a new habitable planet, America is absolutely willing to negotiate with it.

The other party came to us on purpose, probably because they saw America's advantages and planned to obtain their scarce technology through negotiations.

If the negotiations between the two parties are reached, the previous flaws will inevitably be quickly eliminated.

The Wright family, who took the lead in the "slave trade", was the biggest flaw!

'No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!'

The patriarch of the Wright family realized that his family had reached a critical moment of life and death, and he had to use all his strength to disrupt the negotiations, even if it meant provoking a war.

This person left quickly, and some of the families that had previously followed the Wright family in the "slave trade" followed closely behind him, while others chose to stay after hesitating for a moment and ran directly to the person in charge of the big consortium, trying to find a new backer.

Further news soon came from the White House. As expected, the Chinese planned to exchange the coordinates of a habitable planet for one of America's latest large spacecraft and the corresponding manufacturing technology.

On the surface, America made a huge profit, using replicable technical data and a spaceship produced on an assembly line to exchange for an entire habitable planet, which was essentially picking it up for free.

But all the decision-makers of the consortium are not so superficial, because they know that the monopoly of spacecraft manufacturing technology is their reliance on dominating the earth in recent years.

"No, these yellow monkeys are just wishful thinking!"

“What qualifications do they have to make demands on us?”

"War! War on them! Take everything from them!"

"That's right, war is the best solution. There is no need to negotiate with these yellow monkeys."

A group of representatives of the consortium were clamoring in the conference room, saying that they would rather start a war than give up their monopoly on spacecraft manufacturing technology.

Tony, who was watching coldly, had been thinking about Lin Hao's intention. He had no doubt about the origin of this star map, it must be Lin Hao's work.

Because habitable planets in the universe are so hard to find!

Even with all his technical reserves, he can only search for new habitable planets like looking for a needle in a haystack. The time consumed in the process is immeasurable and depends largely on luck.

The only people who could produce a star map containing multiple habitable planets could be Lin Hao, who participated in the creation of this universe, or the several invaders mentioned by "OAA".

But why did Lin Hao do this?

Why didn't he take action eight years ago and watch himself gain the lead?

Why are they only providing star maps to China now but still not providing spacecraft manufacturing technology?

"Is he just trying to vent his anger on the Chinese immigrants in 'New America'?" Tony was unsure, but he was convinced of one thing: "No, this kind of ineffective counterattack is not his style!"

Thinking back to the Americans who were played badly by Lin Hao before, how could they be so gentle to the Americans here?

Unable to figure it out for a moment, and with a lot of flies buzzing around his ears, Tony, who was annoyed, suddenly looked up and sneered: "Even if we start a war, can you get the coordinates?"

"No matter how dumb the Chinese are, they know that the coordinates of these planets are their biggest bargaining chips. In order to keep these chips, they will definitely fight at all costs, because this is their only chance to catch up with the United States and get rid of the bleeding dilemma!"

"A bunch of coordinate data, at best stored in a data storage device the size of a handbag. Even if a war breaks out, can you make all the people in China lose their ability to resist overnight?"

"Even if the United States conquers China, they will destroy the data at the last minute, leaving the United States with nothing."

Tony's few words awakened the frenzied leader of the consortium.

Yes, they don’t know magic, so it is impossible for them to instantly destroy the Chinese people’s ability to resist. In the end, they will gain nothing.

Because in recent years, more and more sober Chinese people have seen through America’s “blood-sucking strategy” and now hold the only bargaining chip. How could they easily hand it over?

What we are handing over is not a bunch of coordinate data, but the future of this country and the lives of all Chinese people!

Unless there are still idiots who believe that America will treat them equally, but what happened in the "New America" ​​has already been known by Tony Stark.

"Congratulations! It was your previous foolish actions that successfully pushed this country into a desperate situation with no way out."

Facing Tony's sneering smile, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family and the leader of the Morgan Alliance looked at each other and tried to comfort Tony with kind words.

"Mr. Stark, now is not the time to lose your temper."

"Yes, the scandal on 'New America' is better not to be exposed now. After all, we are all Americans..."

Chapter 571 Tough Negotiations

Just one day later, a five-member delegation landed at an airport outside Washington and headed straight to the negotiation venue prepared by the United States.

"We are not questioning your country's technological level, but you claim to have mastered the coordinates of a new habitable planet. You should at least prove it to us first, right?"

The American representative showed his true intention right from the start and made no effort to hide his impatience.

The Chinese representative immediately sneered: "A set of coordinate data only has a few parameters? Do you want proof? You are clearly trying to get something for nothing!"

Anyone who has studied mathematics knows that the coordinates of three-dimensional space have only three parameters. Whether the "celestial coordinate system" or the "earth coordinate system" is used to set the coordinates for an extraterrestrial planet, it is just a different way of notation.

Even if only one correct parameter is given, it can save America a huge amount of time and cost. All that remains is to search on this correct plane, and it will be found sooner or later.

But if you only give one or two independent numbers, America will never recognize it!

So it is not possible to give any coordinate parameters in advance.

Just as Tony Stark expected, the Chinese top brass knew very well that the star map they held was the only chance to turn the tables, so the tone of the negotiations was set to be tough from the very beginning.

Don’t be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot!

Even if we have to fight a war first, we must use a tough attitude to force the United States to return to the negotiating table.

There's nothing we can do about it since we only have a star map but no spaceship manufacturing technology.

Only by adopting a desperate attitude can the United States be forced to hand over the spacecraft manufacturing technology after careful consideration.

Capitalist countries put profit first in everything. It is easy to guess the choice of capitalists: will they get another habitable planet, or will they destroy everything and get nothing?

On one hand, there are habitable planets within easy reach, and on the other hand, there is an unpredictable investment of time. It is even possible that the next habitable planet may not be found for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. So what can be done even if the United States dominates the earth or directly destroys other countries?

Moreover, after a war, the Earth will most likely enter a nuclear winter. America will be equivalent to losing one Earth, and only having one "New America" ​​left. Who can guarantee that they can find the next habitable planet before the resources are exhausted?

The fire of interstellar civilization that was ignited with great difficulty may be extinguished because of this act of willfulness.

But if they have another habitable planet, it will greatly increase their possibility of continuing to find the next habitable planet, thereby completely transforming America into an interstellar civilization.

In addition, the Chinese deliberately revealed information that there are still other habitable planets, which is also a disguised way of telling the Americans that even if they cannot find new habitable planets in the future, they can still provoke an interstellar war to seize the resources in their hands.

In order to successfully obtain spacecraft manufacturing technology, the Chinese have calculated every step.

"I think you have invested a huge amount of resources in the search for new habitable planets in recent years, and you must have realized the difficulty. Do you want to get a new habitable planet right away, or wait for countless years without any results? You can choose for yourself!"

"No, no, no, you don't seem to realize the premise of this negotiation." The American representative was equally tough and aggressive: "Only when we confirm that the data you provided is true, can the negotiation be started."

"You just said that our country has invested a lot of resources in searching the universe. We have been observing hundreds of light years away and have not been able to find a new habitable planet. You are hiding on Earth using backward technology. How can we believe that you have really found a habitable planet?"

"Then there's nothing to talk about. Please take us back to the airport." The Chinese negotiator immediately stood up and walked out.

Naturally, we didn't go to the airport, but instead went to the hotel prepared by America.

The negotiations dragged on.

America also knew that it was impossible to trick others into handing over valuable coordinate data with words alone, so it was prepared for a protracted war.

But they also know that the Chinese people would not be bored enough to joke about such a big thing because it would be of no benefit.

If they are pissed off, America can really use this as an excuse to declare war on China. There is no need to start a large-scale war. It can directly use spacecraft to launch a round of orbital bombing, and the whole world will find it unreasonable.

Therefore, the Chinese are likely really lucky and have obtained the coordinates of more than one habitable planet.

If there was only one, they would not trade it. Instead, they would mobilize the whole country to master the spacecraft manufacturing technology, and then break through the American blockade to reach this habitable planet.

Only if you have the coordinates of more than one habitable planet would you be so eager to make a transaction.

After all, it is meaningless to see but not eat.

We will have to continue to endure America’s “blood-sucking strategy”, watch the loss of talent, and watch our national strength decline.

"spy!"

Someone in the White House shouted loudly: "While delaying the negotiations, mobilize all the hidden moles and get the coordinates from them at all costs!"

"We must never give up our monopoly on spacecraft, otherwise the Chinese, who own multiple habitable planets, will become America's biggest enemy in the future!"

This is of course as it should be, but those American senior officials who still have some sense know that the Chinese will absolutely protect this data as if it were their lifeblood.
