Chapter 372: A successful conclusion, an outsider who does not belong to this world
After learning about the combat capability of Class A mechas, four British representatives including Colin became even more wary of China's technological ceiling.
They had no idea how much black technology these people had. Fortunately, the rebels in the country had neither resources nor power. If they had contacted China first and reached some cooperation agreement, they would be the ones having a headache now.
Douglas, Hudson, and Ryan, as level 4 awakeners ranked in the top 10 in the world, are very clear that as long as they want to leave, nuclear weapons will have no deterrent effect at all, and their maximum speed is about times the speed of sound.
Unless they are in the core area of the nuclear explosion, they may not die even if they are within the killing radius, thanks to their highly defensive bodies and endless vitality.
Even if they just run away, the nuclear bombs flying in a straight line or curve are definitely not as flexible as them. They can avoid it to the greatest extent by slightly changing direction. As long as they don't have to withstand the most terrifying center of the explosion with their physical bodies, basically nothing will happen.
For every country in the world, the awakened ones who have been promoted to level 5 and are within their jurisdiction are weapons of war with the same status as nuclear weapons, human-shaped natural disasters, and absolute overlords in the food chain.
However, even a life entity as powerful as this level still has mechanical creations that can threaten him - the mysterious Class A mecha from China.
Almost no representative questioned Yu Huai's words.
The Class B mechas on display outside the conference room today are capable of fighting to the death with Level 4 awakeners, and these visitors have personally verified this.
After they landed at the airport yesterday, they have not had a moment of freedom. The oppressive feeling brought to them by multiple Class B mechas is indescribable. Just guarding within a hundred meters behind them, they feel a strong sense of crisis, fearing that they will be blown to death by a cannon shot from these mechas.
Faced with Class A mechas that are more advanced than Class B mechas, none of the 22 foreign representatives and hundreds of visiting envoys wanted to see this terrifying next-generation weapon used by domestic rebel forces at a high price.
If that is the case, it is still unclear whether a Level 5 Awakener can turn the tide, but what is certain is that any Level 4 Awakener who is caught in the vortex of killing will surely die.
Wherever the army goes, mountains and rivers are shattered, and force is truth.
Just like history repeating itself a hundred years ago, the fleet that crossed the river used artillery to blast open the gates of the corrupt Qing Dynasty on the eastern coastline.
A hundred years later, China's Class A mechas are always qualified to penetrate deep into the heart of the European continent and traverse the vast plains, using technology that is beyond their time to kill people and destroy cities.
Colin realized this, and the purpose of his trip to China had quietly changed.
From initially trading the qualification to purchase the ability lock at the lowest price, it has become 'using China's power to strangle the Level 5 rebels in the country, while maintaining peace between the two countries and prohibiting the other party from having any dealings with the rebel forces in the country'.
This is no longer a question of shame or not. In the eyes of Colin, Novotori and others, when China possesses military power far exceeding that of other countries, there is a possibility of war breaking out at any time, and they must minimize this risk.
"My request is not too much, right?"
Colin asked again, his tone even sounding a little urgent.
"It's not excessive. As a partner, we will not sell any weapons or provide any substantial assistance to the rebel forces in your country."
"You can rest assured about this point. This is the unshakable cornerstone for our long-term development and friendly cooperation with other countries."
Yu Huai didn't hesitate for a moment and gave a prompt answer.
He just wanted to borrow as much natural resources from various countries as possible to build more mechas before all the supernatural creatures in the country revived, and to use rare materials to refine the best quality components time and time again for the iterative research and development of mechas.
The more stable the situation in these overseas countries, the more resources he can obtain. As for the rebels, there is no possibility of cooperation. They are a group of awakened people who only care about the survival of the fittest and subvert the order, and their value is relatively low.
"Row."
"I can trust your words."
Colin's frown slowly relaxed, and his mood improved slightly. After comparing the threat of force with the content of the contract, his negotiation strategy changed significantly.
Now it seems that signing a new contract is not a loss at all. If you are serious about it, you can even make a small profit.
After all, the secret realm is something illusory. They can't see or touch it. Even if they find it, it will take at least ten or twenty years to go through the process of exploration, development, research, and transformation to achieve explosive growth in science and technology and then invest in the military industry.
What countries like Britain, Russia, Germany, Italy, India, South Korea, Thailand, etc. lack the most is time. They do not have China's Class A mechas, nor do they have America's Level 5 awakeners. In this era of evolution that is sweeping the world, they are in danger of collapse overnight at any time.
In general, although the eleven countries have sacrificed potential resources, the benefits they have gained at the moment are real, and there is a high probability that they can help their countries overcome difficulties.
"What I said before is the best plan we can come up with. Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Yu Huai made one final confirmation.
Novtori nodded and said thoughtfully, "I am only representing our side and clearly replying that we have no objection and the contract can be signed."
"We agree too!"
Douglas in the British camp had a calm expression. He quickly raised his right hand to signal, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart fell down. He wanted to leave here alive the most and did not care about the interests of the kingdom behind him.
"We agree!"
"We agree!"
With the representatives of the two major countries setting an example, the other nine countries responded without exception.
Seeing this, Yu Huai ordered people to print out the latest contract, and after a while, distributed it to the desks of the representatives one by one.
"Swish"
The representatives symbolically looked through the new contract, checked for omissions, and after confirming that it was correct, they each took a pen, wrote their names, and pressed their fingerprints.
"Gentlemen, happy cooperation."
Yu Huai, Lu Jin, Lao Tianshi and others were also signing. The contract for each country not only required the six of them to sign together, but also had to be stamped with the official seal of the Security Council. "Happy cooperation."
Novotori, who was a tough guy with a stern personality, smiled politely.
A few minutes later, 22 contracts were signed, 11 of which were kept by China, and the other countries each held one copy.
"Yu, as fellow countrymen, we will definitely be asked about the details of the matter involving Matsubara and Yano. What do you want us to do?"
The British representative Ryan took the initiative to bring up this matter. Based on the interests of both parties, he naturally chose to stand on the side of China.
"Yes, if you need to keep it secret, we will never say a word." Choi Hyun Bin from South Korea echoed.
"Those who attempt to steal secrets shall be executed according to the law."
"These eight words are enough. Use them to deal with them."
Yu Huai smiled and didn't take this trivial matter to heart. How could a small country like this really turn the world upside down?
"Okay, got it."
Ryan and Choi Hyun-bin knew what was going on, and the other representatives also knew what to do, forming a wonderful tacit understanding.
After 15 minutes, the meeting ended successfully.
The 22 representatives and hundreds of visitors still had to return to their country to maintain the war situation. They did not have any extra time to stay and hurriedly left Chixia University. They were escorted to the airport by the three presidents and took their respective planes back home.
Jiang Mo stood up and prepared to leave. Yu Huai walked towards him, looking very imposing and expecting praise. He asked with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Master, how am I? Have I not embarrassed you?"
"Good."
Jiang Mo shook his mobile phone and told Yu Huai that there was a video of his negotiation in it. He was going to send it to his senior brother to watch and make the old man happy.
"Okay, then can you say a few nice words for me?"
"Ah."
Jiang Mo exchanged a few words of greeting, then cast a spell and left Chixia University.
After returning to the sect, he went straight to the 4th floor of the Sutra Library, brewed some tea, held a tablet in his hand, skillfully logged into the dark web, and consulted documents from various countries to spend his leisure time in the afternoon.
Time passed quickly, and the daytime sun outside the window quietly turned into the sunset and sank into the end of the horizon.
night.
The lights in the building were brightly on. Two young disciples went up to the fourth floor and found that it was their uncle-master who was reading some documents. They did not dare to disturb him and tiptoed downstairs.
Nine o'clock.
The third floor, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened, and a figure with graceful features and slender legs slowly walked out.
Yousha walked barefoot and went up to the 4th floor, where she saw a familiar figure approaching.
"Busy?" Her voice was ethereal and cold.
"No."
"."
Yousha was wearing a hazy, thin gauze dress. She sat beside Jiang Mo. Seeing that the tea in his cup was almost empty, she silently poured it out from the kettle. The gurgling tea was clear and green, and stopped when the cup was seven-tenths full.
Jiang Mo sensed her emotions fluctuating slightly, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
“I stumbled upon something interesting and wanted to share it with you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mo showed enough respect, withdrew his gaze from the screen, moved it to her, and waited for her to reveal the secret.
"Oh?"
"Look."
Yousha spread out her five jade-white fingers, and suddenly a small world appeared in her palm, with thousands of strange phenomena changing within it.
Sometimes it is an ancient kingdom in the Middle Ages, sometimes it is the industrial revolution in the steam age, and sometimes it is the tragic battlefield during World War II in the last century.
This was the 'Rewind of Life' that she had spent more than seventy years cultivating to perfection and surpassing her predecessors. The scene in her palm that was like a bubble constantly bursting and being reborn corresponded to completely different parallel time and space in history.
Gradually, Yousha moved her five fingers, and the complicated picture disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, until only a pool of transparent spring water as clear as a mirror remained, reflecting the faces of Jiang Mo and Yousha.
This corresponds to the current time and space.
In addition to the projections of the two people, a golden particle also appeared in the spring water, appearing and disappearing, constantly moving its position.
Jiang Mo, who was familiar with 'Destiny Rewind', frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"Two hours ago, I captured a wave of space-time fluctuations. It was an alien from our world. I cannot confirm whether it was a human or something else. It could even be a natural wormhole that was sealed by humans or other highly intelligent life in the past. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's hard to say."
Yousha seemed to be thinking about something, her face solemn, as if she couldn't suppress her desire for knowledge, and also seemed worried about the hidden danger.
