Chapter 105: Spiritual Bonds Across the Universe

Fifty thousand tons of gold!

Upon hearing this number, the Prime Minister's eyes widened, but he quickly used the coffee cup he raised to cover the surprised expression on his face.

Gold is the ballast of the economy.

Currently, the total amount of gold mined in the world is only hundreds of thousands of tons, and fifty thousand tons is almost one-third. With so much gold, it is just around the corner to make London the center of world finance again.

Make London Great Again!

Aliens are so generous!

Even without economists around, the Prime Minister understands what fifty thousand tons of gold means to his country.

However

Is one Hines worth fifty thousand tons of gold?

The Prime Minister was a little confused.

Although Hines is somewhat special, such as being nominated for two Nobel Prizes when he was a scientist, and later serving as the President of the European Union for a year and a half.

But compared with fifty thousand tons of gold, these achievements are somewhat insignificant.

At least that's what he thinks.

No matter how outstanding a scientist or politician is, he can't bring the economic benefits of fifty thousand tons of gold to his country.

Let alone fifty thousand tons,

even ten thousand tons is impossible!

"Why do you value Hines so much?"

The Prime Minister asked.

He did not object to the deal, but the price offered by the coalition government was too high, which made him feel like he was dreaming. At the same time, he felt that Hines might have some value that had not yet been grasped by the earthlings.

"We are very interested in scientists, and Hines is one of the more outstanding ones."

The diplomat of the coalition government said without leaking a drop of water: "We plan to make Hines a model and show other scientists that we are eager to seek talents."

The human brain analysis camera and thought stamp technology developed by Hines in the future are technologies that the coalition government attaches great importance to.

But the diplomat could not reveal this to the prime minister.

"It can be someone else if not Hines." He paused, "but the owner of this 50,000 tons of gold will also change."

This is a blow to the prime minister.

50,000 tons of gold, which is a huge force that can change the world pattern in the hands of any major country.

Hand over Hines,

and lead the change of the world pattern.

Don't hand it over?

Then wait to be changed by others.

"Hienes is good. He has been the president of the European Union. He has a big picture view and knows what to do in what position."

The prime minister said hurriedly.

Are you kidding me? 50,000 tons of gold is right at your fingertips. Can you let it fly away?

If this is exposed,

will he still run for prime minister next year?

"But what should we do?"

the prime minister asked.

The diplomat of the coalition government smiled and said, "You can use any means to make trouble for Hines and force him to join us."

The coalition government is determined to get scientists from Earth No. 2. Each country is responsible for poaching scientists from its own country on Earth No. 2. Some countries use rough methods, and some countries use gentle methods.

This diplomat is from the United Kingdom of the coalition government, and his methods are rougher.

A forced melon may not be sweet, but it will definitely quench your thirst.

No matter what method is used, get Hines to the coalition government first. As for human rights or not, they are not locking Hines up anyway.

Earth consciousness can open the time and space gate.

If Hines misses home in the future, he can be given a holiday and let him go back to Earth No. 2.

But most of the time, Hines had to stay in the United Government and help the United Government overcome scientific difficulties.

Just think of it as the reward for the United Government's help in helping Earth No. 2 resolve the threat of the Trisolarians.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price.

Hines does not have to be a riddler like in the original book, carrying the fate of the entire human race. In exchange, he will work for the United Government in the future.

Very fair.

However, compared with the British approach, the Chinese side is much more gentle.

"We hope that the scientists on this list can stay in our civilization and help us overcome some scientific problems. We will treat them well and allow them to go home to visit their families during festivals."

The Chinese diplomat said with a smile.

China is different from other countries. The government is consistent, instead of changing every few years. Each regime is full of estrangement from other regimes.

The Chinese in the United Government looks at the Chinese in Earth No. 2, just like seeing their past selves.

This is a special bond.

"Scientists are the most valuable asset of a civilization, and we cannot force them to change their will and force them to serve your civilization."

"I'm sorry we can't meet your request."

The Chinese Foreign Minister of Earth No. 2 replied neither servilely nor arrogantly.

There is no doubt that aliens are powerful, but that doesn't mean they have to compromise with aliens and meet their unreasonable demands.

"You misunderstood, this is not a one-sided plunder."

"This is a win-win situation."

"We allow these scientists to share their knowledge with you, of course, to a certain extent, but it is enough for you to get technology far beyond the current level."

The diplomat said politely.

The Foreign Minister was silent.

He felt that the conditions offered by the aliens were too generous and sounded like a fake.

At this time, the diplomat dropped a bombshell: "To show our sincerity, we have decided to give you the controlled nuclear fusion technology unconditionally to help you solve your energy problem."

The foreign minister was very surprised: "Really?"

Controlled nuclear fusion technology is a technology that can only be broken through in fifty years, which means inexhaustible energy.

If they have this technology, they will no longer be afraid of being strangled by Western countries!

Even if they cut off contact with Western countries, their people can live well!

The diplomat smiled and said: "A gentleman's words are as good as a horse."

The foreign minister was silent for two seconds and said: "You seem to know our culture very well."

"We do know your culture very well." The diplomat said meaningfully, "Much deeper than you think."

The foreign minister was silent again.

He looked at the diplomat's face carefully, and suddenly had an absurd guess in his mind.

These aliens.

He shook his head and threw away this incredible idea.

"Your proposal is very tempting." He said in a deep voice, "We need to discuss it before we can give an answer, but even if we are willing to send scientists to you to study, they may not be willing to do it."

"We will not force anyone."

He emphasized.

The diplomat nodded: "Scientists who are unwilling to come - we will do their ideological work, don't bother you."

He is confident that he can convince all scientists.

Although this is another universe, the scientific research environment is similar to that stage in their history.

As long as a good scientific research environment and a stable opportunity to go home are provided, I believe that most scientists will not refuse their olive branch.

As for the remaining handful of scientists.
