While Luo Ji was still sorting out his own thoughts and academic theories, Zhang Beihai on the Natural Selection also communicated with all the members of the remaining warships.
Unlike the original novel, where only two or three large and small fleets escaped during this period, now, with Zheng Gan's deliberate promotion, the number of human fleets that have escaped from Fleet International's control is as high as over a hundred.
If the energy problem can be solved, then the more than 200,000 people on these one hundred warships will be the new hope of Trisolaran humanity!
This brand-new human force is Zheng Gan's true partner in this universe. It does not have the so-called democracy of the earthlings, nor their boring compassion and ignorant arrogance.
What Zheng Gan needs is a militaristic human force, a human force full of vitality that urgently needs to expand outward, and a human force whose leadership can determine government decisions.
This is also the reason why Zheng Gan liked to do business with the Human Union the most when he was in the Star World, as it was different from the Dilian’s numerous procedures and bureaucracy.
Renlian’s business is very direct and quick. You pay and I do the work.
But the current situation made Zhang Beihai confused. The more than one hundred warships behind him made him dumbfounded. He didn't understand why Fleet International, which always looked down on others, would make such a big fuss about his defection.
Isn't a hunt of this scale a bit exaggerated?
However, Zhang Beihai soon woke up from his confused state. The captain of the Natural Selection, Dongfang Yanxu, told Zhang Beihai everything that happened in the solar system afterwards.
The fleet members who escaped were also full of admiration for Zhang Beihai's decision. Soon, the captains of more than 100 fleets gathered together through the screen to discuss the future direction of these 200,000 people.
The social structure that 200,000 people will face is different from that of 100,000 people in the original work. At this meeting, the captains had a heated discussion on what kind of political structure they will uphold in the future.
Similarly, the energy issue was put on the table for discussion from the very beginning, and experts at all levels within the fleet provided various hypotheses and deductions, but they were still unable to effectively resolve the issue.
The starship Earth is now like a fish stranded on the beach, and this endless and empty universe is the sun that is scorching them.
When their energy and supplies are exhausted, they will die quietly in the pond of the universe like the fish in the low-lying areas.
Looking at the human elites arguing endlessly about the future direction, Zhang Beihai seemed unexpectedly calm. Now, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Zheng Gan who suddenly found him that day.
He also understood that Zheng Gan's words to him before leaving, asking him to bring enough energy with him, were not strange words, but that he had anticipated the current situation.
Everything was under the control of a businessman named Zheng Gan. Zhang Beihai even suspected that Zheng Gan was behind the more than 100 escaped warships!
So now, is he also staring at all of them from some unknown corner, admiring everything?
Thinking of this, Zhang Beihai couldn't help but look around. His deep eyes seemed to want to find Zheng Gan who was spying on him in the starship in this silent universe.
Zheng Gan, who had been paying attention to the developments here, also saw Zhang Beihai's actions, then chuckled and murmured.
"Captain Zhang, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Seeing that everything was unfolding according to his own script, Zheng Gan no longer paid attention to the quarrel on the starship Earth, because they all knew that it would be impossible for a fleet of this size to sail in the universe without the support of the Earth.
But everyone is still adhering to the code of conduct, so even though everyone knows the final solution, no one is pointing it out.
However, Zheng Gan went to great lengths to get these people out not to watch them kill each other.
Zheng Gan believed that it would not be long before Zhang Beihai would make the first deal with him through the nanorobot he had given him at that time.
As it turned out, Zhang Beihai did not keep Zheng Gan waiting for long, and his speed even exceeded Zheng Gan's expectations.
Just after the meeting ended that day, Zheng Gan received a communication request from Zhang Beihai.
Before the call started, Zheng Gan did not hesitate to call Ding Yi and Luo Ji to the screen. Although his previous performance gave people the impression of being a mysterious businessman, for the sake of mutual trust in future transactions, Zheng Gan was still prepared to be honest with these three future partners.
The bond that maintains long-term transactions is trust. If cultivated well, the humans in the Three-Body Universe will be a very powerful force for Zheng Gan and an important part of his huge cross-dimensional business empire in the future.
As the communication was connected, Zhang Beihai looked at the three people on the other side in surprise.
"Professor Ding Yi? Professor Luo Ji?"
Although he had expected this, Zhang Beihai still couldn't help but ask questions when he saw the two people behind Zheng Gan.
Facing the puzzled Zhang Beihai, Ding Yi smiled helplessly.
"Captain Zhang, Professor Luo Ji and I are not very clear about the specific situation. Let's hear what Mr. Zheng has to say first."
After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Gan.
Zheng Gan, who had experienced many ups and downs, naturally would not feel uncomfortable being stared at by these three people. Although these three people could be considered outstanding among the human group in the Three-Body Universe, he, Zheng Gan, was also a big businessman who had been involved in giant companies for many years. Although this transaction was important, it did not make Zheng Gan nervous.
Clearing his throat, Zheng Gan began to formally explain his plan to the three people.
"Professor Ding Yi, Professor Luo Ji, Captain Zhang Beihai, although we already know each other, please allow me to introduce myself."
After saying that, a piece of electronic data appeared in front of the three people.
"My name is Zheng Gan. I'm currently the General Manager of the Gou Chen Branch of the Human Vartom Science Council, a giant interstellar enterprise. I'm a businessman.
However, this transaction has nothing to do with the company; it is my personal transaction project."
After saying this, Zheng Gan stopped talking at the right time and waited for the three people to finish reading the information in front of them.
The information contained detailed information about the universe and the current situation Zheng Gan was facing. That's right, Zheng Gan did not hide his situation, but told several people about it directly.
This is the first step in the transaction and the key to building mutual trust.
It took a long time for the three people to digest Zheng Gan's intelligence after reading the information in their hands. It was hard to imagine that humans in another universe had developed to such a high level. The Trisolarans feared by humans in the Three-Body Universe were not much different from a bug in front of Zheng Gan.
After calming himself down and thoroughly understanding the laws of the Dark Forest, Luo Ji spoke first:
"Then Mr. Zheng Gan, please tell us the true content of our transaction."
