Compared with the equal transaction between the Trisolarans and the Hogras, and the oppressive transaction between Zheng Gan and the Transcendents, Luo Ji was much happier.
This Hoglas-Executor is a true rebel.
Unlike the transcendents defined as bandits by Zheng Gan, the Executor civilization actually occupied a planet with life, cut off a piece of flesh from the homeland of Hoglas, and is a civilization that can compete with the Hoglas itself.
With the Trisolarans as a great example, Luo Ji was warmly welcomed by the Executors as soon as he arrived at the Executors' base camp, Cincinti.
However, unlike Snow's grand gesture, the Executors' welcome to Luo Ji was private. The Executors' leader, Airus, met privately with Luo Ji, the ambassador of human civilization.
"Mr. Luo Ji, are you saying that you humans have a way to deal with the new weapons purchased by those bastards of Hoglas?"
At the table, Airus, who had drunk a lot of wine, asked Luo Ji in surprise.
As for the drinks, they were naturally brought by Luo Ji himself. They were special drinks from the Fa'aidong Star in the Three-Body Universe. The moment they were taken out, they conquered the group of Hogras people.
Picking up the bottle and refilling Airus's drink himself, Luo Ji patted his chest exaggeratedly and said:
"What do you think? If I weren't certain, I wouldn't have the nerve to come to you. We've been fighting the Trisolarans for four hundred years. It was as soon as the Trisolaran fleet was detected here that His Majesty sent me to support you."
Luo Ji's seemingly exaggerated actions were just right in the eyes of Airus. Long before he came, Luo Ji had a general understanding of the leader of the executors through Snow.
"Four hundred years?"
Upon hearing that humans were fighting the Trisolarans, Arus was also very surprised. You know, it has not been four hundred years since Hoglas entered the superluminal era, and the Trisolarans and humans have been fighting for four hundred years?
In response to Erus' shock, Luo Ji said in his heart, "We did fight the Trisolarans for a long time, but we were just suppressed and ravaged before."
As soon as they talked about serious matters, Airus instantly put away his previous unruly look, and immediately became serious, asking Luo Ji very seriously.
"So what's Mr. Luo Ji's intention in coming back this time?"
Luo Ji admired Airus who returned to normal in an instant. Those who could become leaders and lead their forces to compete in the galaxy were not easy to deal with.
"Naturally, the potential of the Hoglas civilization is enormous. The United Government will not allow the Trisolarans to privately cultivate a powerful ally. Therefore, our human United Government will form an alliance with the Hoglas-Executor!
Likewise, we will sell our latest technology to help you defeat Hoglas's fleet. If the Trisolaran fleet joins the battle, we will immediately support you as an ally!"
Luo Ji began to deceive people without blushing or beating his heart. The United Government did not have the troops to support them, but the Three-Body Fleet was their own people. Didn't he know what would happen to them? If he made this promise, it would be a sure win.
The basis of an alliance is the conflict of interests. After Luo Ji said so much, Airus began to trust this human civilization that suddenly emerged.
Soon, Luo Ji showed a miniature planetary engine model.
"Re-fusion technology. Once possessed, it will instantly enhance all the capabilities of the current warships. The Trisolarans' Sky Cloud Lightning will no longer be able to effectively hit the Executor's ships."
Staring at the introduction of the planetary engine, Airus' eyes were filled with deep horror. This human civilization was too terrifying. They actually had this kind of technology!
"As a gesture of good faith, we will build a miniature heavy fusion reactor in Cincinnati."
After hearing what Luo Ji said, Airus could no longer bear it. He didn't believe that a strange civilization would help them like this, even if the Trisolarans were their enemies.
"So what benefits can humans get from us? I don't believe in transactions without benefits."
Well, it's a good thing to have a sense of payment, otherwise you wouldn't be a qualified leek. Since he has taken the initiative to talk about money, Luo Ji naturally took out a contract he had prepared long ago.
It is called a contract, but it is basically a shopping list. Technology, weapons, energy, minerals, food, etc. can all be traded.
Moreover, the price of the heavy fusion reactor is set by Airus himself, and humans do not participate in the pricing. As for the executors killing and looting?
Without figuring out the specific strength of humans, and with external enemies, it would be courting death for them to provoke humans again. Moreover, this heavy fusion technology has already intimidated Airus. With this kind of technology, if you say that humans are not a large force, he will be the first to not believe it.
Looking at the densely packed list that Luo Ji took out, Airus's mouth twitched. This list seemed to mention nothing, but in fact it mentioned everything.
Based on the energy generated by a small heavy fusion reactor, Airus roughly estimated that it would cost hundreds of millions or even billions of Hogras coins.
This is equivalent to the annual income of the entire country of the Executor Civilization if it does nothing.
"Mr. Luo Ji, although this thing is very good, it doesn't seem to have an immediate effect against Hoglas's fleet."
Although he really wanted to close the deal with Luo Ji immediately, Airus still held back. Far water cannot quench immediate thirst. The other party was about to come to attack him, and the key was to have something that could beat them back.
"Okay, okay. As an old rival, Sky Cloud Lightning is no stranger to humans, so we naturally have countermeasures.
The price, however, is another matter, but it is definitely a very low price. You should know that I am not here to do business, but to form an alliance."
Luo Ji took out a folding fan from somewhere and fanned himself while looking at Airus with a smile.
"We will sell a new engine. The biggest drawback of the Sky Cloud Lightning is its range. The new engine will increase its speed by 100-120% compared to the original one. In this way, they will definitely not be able to hit it!
What good is a weapon that can't hit a battleship, don't you think, my friend?"
hiss~
Hearing the speed Luo Ji mentioned, Airus was also shocked. This speed was doubled. Just as he was about to say something, Luo Ji spoke again:
"We have a spot here. Please feel free to try it out to see if the data is accurate. If you like it, we can discuss the price."
At this moment, Airus was somewhat certain. He was not sure whether the man in front of him was a good diplomat, but he was definitely a cunning businessman!
