After the formation of the Mage Alliance, the abundance of material resources rendered marriage a thing of the past. Mages, and ordinary people alike, no longer needed marriage, nor did they have such a relationship.
After Zheng Li arrived on Blue Star, he gained a deeper understanding of its history and current situation, and only then did he realize how important marriage was to the people of Blue Star.
Dividing assets in half upon divorce is still a bit harsh.
In Zheng Li's view, people should not get married at all, let alone use their marriage as a bargaining chip.
As for his descendants, Zheng Li was even more resistant.
Having been used to being rejected by Zheng Li, and having had quite a few private conversations with him, Chen Yongcai wasn't surprised when Zheng Li refused him.
"Don't rush to refuse. Think it over before you decide. If you don't want to, just send me an email."
"It's not about treating marriage as a transaction, it's just that your marriage partner needs to be approved by us, but that doesn't mean you can't date other people you like."
Some in Singapore believe that Zheng Li is deeply in love with Li Miaomiao and that Li Miaomiao is the only person he would consider marrying.
However, this viewpoint was not accepted by everyone. Because if there were really feelings involved, how could Li Miaomiao only come to Singapore once in three years?
Zheng Li shook his head and then changed the subject: "I'm not considering it for now."
Zheng Li was in charge of the mining team, and the right to use the mined minerals belonged to Zheng Li.
Alternatively, they can find someone they designate to marry and immigrate to Singapore simultaneously. It's important to know that under Singaporean law, premarital property is usually divided equally between the spouses in a divorce.
It's equivalent to Zheng Li spending half of his own wealth to buy a magic brain, and at the same time, he still needs to put in mental effort for this magic brain.
Half of Zheng Li's net worth is also 500 billion RMB.
Not to mention that even if the Magic Brain is given to Zheng Li after the discovery of Magois, Zheng Li will still be a Singaporean.
After he changed his nationality, China had no grounds to speak up for him.
The Singaporean side was too shrewd; they figured Zheng Li was either unfamiliar with Singaporean law or wouldn't do any prior research.
If Zheng Li were an ordinary person, he would have fallen for this trick.
From Singapore's perspective, giving Zheng Li a position and benefits is primarily aimed at thoroughly binding Zheng Li to Singapore.
Unfortunately, Zheng Li was a mage himself, not to mention that the one in Lion City was just a clone.
Don't try to coerce or bribe him; Zheng Li is not afraid at all. If he loses this clone, he can just change his identity.
But now that Singapore has done this, can they withstand the pressure from China?
"I have a question: has Merlin's Haber algorithm, which he claimed to be based on in his paper, been verified by us?"
"Is he absolutely right? Is it really possible for intelligent life to exist on planets that conform to the Hayfel algorithm?"
"And the possibility of intelligent life existing here—does this mean that intelligent life exists now or that intelligent life will be born in the future? If intelligent life is born in the future, is it certain or just a possibility?"
Chen Yongcai said with a wry smile, "Mr. Zheng, your questions are not easy to answer."
"First of all, the Hayborg algorithm, the Hayborg constant, and the calculation method of the cosmic coordinate system are all concepts that Merlin put forward, and these concepts are logically consistent."
"At least for now, scientists on Earth haven't found any loopholes."
"As for Merlin's statement that planets conforming to the Hayborg algorithm may harbor intelligent life, we do not know that, and it is not important to us at the moment."
"Because at least in the short term, we don't have the ability to travel between stars. As long as we find a cosmic coordinate system that conforms to the Haybold algorithm, Merlin will give us the magoin and the magic brain, that's enough."
"The Haber algorithm and Haber constant are less astronomical theories and more like a mining system meticulously designed by Merlin. We mine according to his system and get rewards."
"And I have no idea how to answer the other question."
Zheng Li: "I'm curious about the progress in Singapore? I saw in the news that Singapore is working with ASEAN on magoin-related research, right?"
In reality, progress has been slow. This is because the major powers have already exhausted the exploration of intelligent planets that are close to Earth and easily accessible.
To find a new cosmic coordinate system that meets the requirements, one must search deep space. The difficulty of mining is somewhat similar to that of Bitcoin, gradually increasing.
Chen Yongcai naturally wouldn't tell Zheng Li the truth: "The mining progress is as expected. We have found a star field that meets the conditions and are currently locating the specific planet that meets the Haibo algorithm."
The problem is that before they calculated the specific cosmic coordinate system, they didn't know if this planet had been taken over by other major powers.
This is a zero-sum game with a blind eye; if you're slow in one step, you'll be slow in every step.
Zheng Li: "I have another question. The magoin research group is a joint research team formed by your country and other ASEAN countries."
"How can you guarantee that I can use the first magic brain I exchanged for with a magoin?"
Chen Yongcai laughed and said, "We still have a certain say in Southeast Asia. We have an agreement that the first use of the magoin belongs to Singapore. Of course, we have also paid other prices."
Zheng Li cautioned, "I saw in the news that India also wants to join the joint research team. If India joins, can you guarantee that you will still have as much say as you do now?"
"I'm sorry, there are too many unknown variables in this collaboration. I'd rather work alone."
When Chen Yongcai heard the word "India," his heart sank. As a major regional power, India was putting immense pressure on Singapore.
Even their alliances and maneuvering cannot stop India from achieving its goals; India has already won over at least three ASEAN countries.
