I was exposed for mining on Mars

Comprehensive strategic cooperation is already the highest cooperative relationship under the alliance, which shows that the Speaker of the Bernie Tribe attaches great importance to the United Civilization of the Solar System, or to Luo Xiu.

"Oh? But I don't have time now. Just wait a moment. Lao Cao, please show me around. This is the first ground-to-zero battleship to be restored."

But Luo Xiu didn't give Stuart a chance at all and walked directly to the other exit of the conference room.

Cao Guolin stopped Stuart, who was looking very ugly, with a hesitant look on his face, but in the end he shook his head, said nothing, and followed Luo Xiu.

Of course, he feels that in-depth cooperation with the Bernie tribe is very beneficial to the United Civilization of the Solar System. After all, the Bernie tribe is now one of the most technologically advanced in the alliance.

But he naturally didn't forget that the several times he had "what he thought" were finally proven wrong by the Commander-in-Chief in front of him, and now he was not representing himself, but the United Solar System Civilization, even in the end Luo Xiu was wrong. As Cao Guolin, he should stand unswervingly on Luo Xiu's side.

This is no longer a question of right or wrong, but a question of stance. Cao Guolin himself did not notice this change, but Luo Xiu, who was walking in front, raised the corners of his mouth. It seemed that his work during this period was indeed not in vain.

This is much more powerful than the Cygnus civilization's method of using threats and technology (mechanical ascension technology) to control other civilizations.

In fact, Luo Xiu had already seen the design of the Zero Battleship hundreds of times, and saying that he wanted to visit it was just a rhetoric.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, why don't you talk to the Speaker of the Bernie Tribe? I think this is a good opportunity." Cao Guolin hesitated and finally asked.

"Of course I know this is a good opportunity, but forgiving that Stuart like this will only make him think that we are weak and can be bullied. Even if we teach him a lesson today, it will be easier to do things in the future."

Luo Xiu said lightly.

Cao Guo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Xiu to do this because of Stuart, which surprised him.

After all, making a decision that may affect the overall situation because of one person's relationship is not something a superior person should do, but Luo Xiu actually did it, and he didn't seem to shy away from it.

Luo Xiu glanced at Cao Guolin, and then said helplessly: "Don't worry, it's the Bernie people who are asking for help from us now. No matter how high we are, they will climb all the way up. This is diplomacy. Of course, the premise is You must have something in your hand, take me to your office."

Luo Xiu said.

Cao Guolin was still a little confused, but he still nodded, and the two of them walked towards the office of the representative of the United Solar System Civilizations.

As soon as I arrived nearby, I saw a lot of people gathered at the door. They were the representatives of the civilizations who were in the conference room just now. But they seemed to be very familiar with each other before, but now they maintain a certain degree of respect between each other. The distance is like being on guard against each other.

It wasn't until a creature that looked like a green ball discovered Luo Xiu and screamed strangely that the others reacted and immediately surrounded Luo Xiu and Cao Guolin.

But at this time, the mechanical Ascension Guards in the office also came after hearing the news and separated the crowd.

As expected, Cao Guolin had lived here for a while and was very familiar with these representatives. He immediately exchanged a few words and asked about their intentions.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, they want to cooperate with us in depth, in exchange for our warships and technology in exchange for technology."

Cao Guolin reported to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Let them come in and talk, one by one."

So the representatives of these civilized bodies were invited into the office, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became much more relaxed.

But Stuart, who caught this scene in the distance, had a bitter look on his face.

"Why is the commander of the United Solar System's United Civilizations unwilling to negotiate with us? Did you do something?"

In the communicator, the speaker of the Bernie tribe asked in an uncontrollably angry voice.

Stuart thought about it again and again, and decided to tell the matter exactly as it was. Now it was no longer a matter of his personal gains and losses. There might be a gap between the Bernie tribe and the United Solar System Civilization.

"You should return to the main planet of the Bernie tribe tomorrow. You are no longer suitable to serve as the representative of the Bernie tribe in the alliance."

The Bernie speaker didn't say anything to blame Stuart, but the final result said it all.

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, but on the last day of my term, I will do the last thing for the Bernie people."

Stuart's expression became much clearer, and the little thoughts in his heart disappeared.

…

Luo Xiu sat in the office for most of the day, received more than twenty representatives from other civilizations, and had in-depth exchanges with their speakers and commanders.

Both sides opened their respective science and technology libraries, and then introduced each other's civilization and science and technology achievements.

As expected by Luo Xiu, although the technological level of these civilizations is not very advanced, they all have their own unique technological advantages like Proxima b. Even Luo Xiu was amazed in his heart.

Of course, this is also caused by other factors such as the environment of other civilizations, and they are also very interested in the mechanical ascension technology, neutron killing and micro-particle carving technology demonstrated by Luo Xiu.

Especially the mechanical ascension technology. None of these civilizations have developed a technology that can significantly extend their lifespan. It can only extend their lifespan to two hundred years at most. This is simply compared to the mechanical ascension technology that has an almost infinite lifespan. It's a world of difference.

That's why the negotiation went very smoothly, and Luo Xiu also showed his goodwill and did not ask for excessive prices.

Benli could make these junior civilizations spend all they had by transferring mechanical ascension technology, but he still asked them to help them build super battleships while giving up some resources, and also transferred some other technologies.

Of course, Luo Xiu did not mention core technologies such as synthetic ascension, strong interaction materials, and antimatter technology.

And he is only conducting negotiations in a general direction here. As for the details, he will leave it to Cao Guolin and his professional team.

After the last representative of the civilization left happily, Luo Xiu stood up and moved his body.

"No more?" Luo Xiu asked Cao Guolin who was standing at the door.

"Except for the other civilizations in the alliance except the Bernie tribe, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has already received them all."

Cao Guolin still admires Luo Xiu's work efficiency and ability very much. You must know that he has brought Blue Star's most professional negotiation team, and they have negotiated countless times in the past month but with little effect.

Luo Xiu did it in only half a day.

"Do you want me to go take a look?" Cao Guolin asked immediately when he saw Luo Xiu didn't speak.

"No need. If this person is really useless, then I was wrong. Leave this matter to me..."

Before Luo Xiu finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure behind Cao Guolin, and he did not continue.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Solar System, what happened before is my personal issue. Please don't misunderstand the sincerity of the Bernie people. I will be resigning tomorrow, but I can still hope to promote the two major civilizations during my last term of office. partnership between them."

Stuart said with a bow.

Cao Guolin glanced at him in surprise. He knew that this person had a very high spirit and almost regarded himself as the master in the command post. It seemed that the Bernie tribe had put a lot of pressure on him, but he actually Still able to come here.

Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Come in and talk."

Cao Guolin passed his body and let Stuart come in.

Stuart didn't waste any time and connected directly to the communicator. Soon the virtual images of the Bernie tribe's speaker, commander and several negotiators appeared on Luo Xiu's desk.

Luo Xiu frowned. This posture was a bit big. In the past, other civilizations only had two people negotiating with Luo Xiu at most, but the Bernie tribe had almost ten people.

I don’t know if they value him, or if the Bernie tribe likes to use their power to overwhelm others.

Cao Guolin on the side saw the opponent's posture and immediately came over to help Luo Xiu, but the latter stopped him with his hand.

"You go and deal with the previous negotiations, and leave this to me."

Luo Xiu said lightly that he was just not used to this kind of unequal negotiation scene, but it did not mean that he would be afraid of the other party. After all, Luo Xiu was still very confident in both his own strength and the scientific and technological strength of the United Solar System Civilization.

"Are you the commander of the United Solar System Civilization? Don't you have a speaker there?"

The bald bearded man from the Bernie tribe looked at Luo Xiu, and then showed a puzzled look.

Luo Xiu said noncommittally: "I can make any decision on behalf of the United Civilization of the Solar System."

"Well, I know that you have reached a deeper agreement with other civilizations on the issue of technology libraries. However, they are all elementary civilizations and cannot come up with anything good at all. Only intermediate civilizations like us can Civilization has a greater need for in-depth cooperation."

Seeing that Luo Xiu had no intention of continuing to be polite, the bald bearded man started the negotiation directly.

"Whether we can cooperate depends on the sincerity of both parties. If you don't mind, I would like to first see what technologies the Bernie people are good at."

Luo Xiu said lightly.

He had already learned from Qiong that the reason why the Ferma fleet had discovered the Bernie tribe but did not attack them was because according to the standards of the cruising fleet, the Bernie tribe, which had already exhausted its resources at that time, could only conquer them. Can be a liability.

They cannot be like the Cygnus civilization, which only has technology in its sights. They also need to maintain the resources of the fleet.

Naturally, the Speaker of the Bernie tribe didn't know that Luo Xiu's evaluation of them had dropped again and again in his heart. He directly displayed a document on the projection next to Luo Xiu's desk, which contained the technologies currently owned by the Bernie tribe.

The technology of the Bernie tribe is very comprehensive. Technology in all directions known to Luo Xiu is involved, and all have a certain depth, but these names are all very exaggerated.

Moreover, Luo Xiu also noticed a very important point, that is, among the technologies displayed by the Bernie tribe, they were all very energy-consuming technologies.

In other words, although the Bernie tribe seems to have a very high technological level, they are actually still in the 'industrialization' stage classified by Blue Star.

So much so that even though they had developed an interstellar fleet and even began to immigrate to their planet, they still exhausted all the resources of the entire galaxy in less than 10,000 years.

"this……"

Seeing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the biggest beneficiaries of this alliance were actually the Bernie people.

"How is it? The scientific and technological development of our Bernie tribe is pretty good, right?" the bald bearded man said with a proud look on his face.

Luo Xiu sighed softly, and then also showed a document.

From the moment they started reading this document, everyone in the Bernie tribe went from disdain at the beginning to wonder in the middle to shock at the end.

"Now that everyone has revealed their trump cards, I don't want to make any detours. In fact, the technologies you have are a bit lagging behind in my opinion, so I want to change the way of cooperation."

Luo Xiu said seriously.

"In what way?"

This time the bald bearded man was not angry because of Luo Xiu's 'contempt', but instead his eyes lit up with blazing flames.

If they can really get most of the technological support from Luo Xiu, then the Berni civilization can change its previous extensive energy utilization structure, so that the two newly acquired main stars can allow them to survive longer.

"It's very simple. I hope that the Bernie tribe can send out 500,000 warships and 2 billion soldiers in this war, and all of them must obey the command of the United Civilization of the Solar System. The first batch of supplies is fully equipped, and there will be more supplies in the future. We provide it, and these soldiers will all become mechanical ascendants."

Luo Xiu said something calmly that made everyone in the Bernie tribe stunned.

Half a million battleships? Two billion soldiers?

Even if the Bernie tribe, like Blue Star, is a large race with a population of tens of billions, this requirement is really too high.

The commanders and negotiators behind the bald bearded man all looked at him and shook their heads, obviously not wanting him to accept such harsh conditions.

"How long will it take?" The bald bearded man just raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.

"Be ready within ten years, and then wait for my notification. Remember, this fleet does not belong to the combined fleet. When the war actually starts, you will still need a combat fleet. By the way, there is one more small thing. I hope this Mr. Stuart continues to serve as a representative of the Burnie Nation.”

Luo Xiu said with a smile.

The bald bearded man looked back at Stuart, and then said seriously: "I know, but I also hope that you can share all the technology in these files as soon as possible."
