The two men sat down in the middle of the sofa area, lit cigarettes, and after taking a few puffs, General Ouyang spoke.
"When I first arrived, I asked the people around me, and they said that you didn't live on the Hope Continent before, so you're a native of this place?"
When Lu Yuan heard the other person ask that question and use the word "aboriginal," he felt offended.
When these people landed on Mars in their spaceship, they had already completely abandoned the people on Earth.
Now that they've come back and call themselves natives, Lu Yuan feels like he's an indigenous person.
General Ouyang seemed to realize that his words were somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm just using the term 'aboriginal people' out of habit. We didn't mean it that way. What I meant was that we are the outsiders, and you are the masters of the earth."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the other party's answer.
Moreover, the other party's identity was one he couldn't afford to offend, so naturally he wouldn't really be angry with them, only somewhat annoyed that they had abandoned him on Earth.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and spoke.
"General, you don't need to be so polite. I didn't care about that. I am indeed an indigenous person, and my whole family are indigenous people. After all, not many people were able to go to Mars back then."
Lu Yuan's words were quite true; at that time, it would have been considered quite good if even one ten-thousandth of the entire Earth's population had landed on Mars.
General Ouyang felt as if he had chosen the wrong topic, and a slight embarrassment appeared on his face. However, he quickly covered up the embarrassment, as he still wanted to know a lot about what happened on Earth back then.
After a moment of contemplation, he summarized his thoughts and said...
"I am truly sorry. On behalf of those who organized and planned this meeting, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you. We were powerless at the time and had to protect the technology on Earth."
However, as he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at Lu Yuan.
"But we never imagined that when the earth was about to be destroyed, you would persevere and create one miracle after another, even surpassing us in technology. This is something we can hardly imagine."
Lu Yuan could sense that what General Ouyang said was true and came from the bottom of his heart.
Especially when he accepted offers from other companies during the competition, the smile on his face was absolutely genuine.
Lu Yuan smiled softly.
"Yes, we survive on this Earth because it gave us hope, so we will give them hope in return."
Then General Ouyang turned to look at Lu Yuan again, and Lu Yuan knew that what the other party really wanted to know had begun.
The passerby guessed correctly. After General Ouyang stubbed out his cigarette, he finally spoke.
"Here's the thing, the military is currently facing a lot of technological challenges, so I know you must have a lot of technology at your disposal. Why don't you support the military? If anything good happens, I'll think of you first. What do you think?"
This is probably just an empty promise. Lu Yuan has seen this kind of thing many times before, but for a general like Zhou to say this, it must be a promise.
Every word the other party said was like a golden signboard.
However, Lu Yuan was worried that the other party would discover the matter of Julong Island from him again, which would be terrible.
He pondered for a moment, then realized that if he refused, the other party would probably speculate even more.
Ultimately, Lu Yuan decided to cooperate with the other party, offering some of his technology as a way to settle things down first, otherwise the other party would become even more suspicious.
At this moment, Lu Yuan even regretted attending the dinner party, as the other party had suddenly received so much from him.
But I can't see anything, even though the other party will definitely fulfill their promise in the future.
But Lu Yuan is still somewhat resentful about losing so much all at once.
"Of course, no problem. I do have some technology that I can provide to you. I hope the military won't think my stuff is too bad."
After hearing this, General Ouyang burst into laughter.
"If you say your product technology is bad, then what about our other technologies?"
The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter, though Lu Yuan's laughter was tinged with helplessness and bitterness.
