After the wedding arrangements were finalized.
The elders of the Li family looked at Ye Chen with much more affection, treating him as one of their own.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the head of the Li family changed his tone and said solemnly, "Ye Chen, there is one more thing you should prepare for in advance."
"Patriarch, what are you referring to?" Ye Chen knew what was going on, but still showed a surprised expression and asked.
The head of the Li family pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and said, "Besides discussing your marriage with Mu Yue, there is another matter that the highest leaders want to talk to you about."
Ye Chen continued to feign ignorance, saying, "Do you know why the highest-ranking officials want to see me?"
The head of the Li family gave him a deep look and said, "Now that you are Mu Yue's husband and also the son-in-law of my Li family, I will be frank with you. Tell me the truth, have you obtained alien technology?"
"Is that what the leaders think?" Ye Chen asked instead of answering, neither admitting nor objecting.
The head of the Li family was a man of great stature; seeing Ye Chen's expression and tone, he had already made up his mind.
He smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "Acquiring alien technology may sound like a fantasy, but it's not an isolated case. In fact, various countries or forces on Earth have obtained some alien technology to varying degrees."
"Oh, so humans have also acquired alien technology?" Ye Chen asked curiously, startled.
"Of course, otherwise why do you think humanity spends so much effort building observatories to monitor signals from space?" the Li family patriarch said with a smile.
Then, looking at the other elderly man who had been silent all along, he continued, "Fourth brother, you know him better, why don't you introduce him to Ye Chen?"
After a moment of silence, Old Master Li Si said, "As far as I know, the United States, the Red Alliance, our country, and several other countries have all obtained some alien technological relics."
He paused, then frowned slightly and said, "It might not be alien technology; it could be from a prehistoric civilization. But whatever it is, it far surpasses the current level of human technology."
"Prehistoric civilization? You mean there were other intelligent civilizations that once existed on Earth?" Ye Chen asked, his mind involuntarily recalling the underwater ruins he had discovered.
"It's hard to make a specific judgment. The technological explosion of the past hundred years, with the continuous emergence of various new technologies and theories, has benefited from the study of the relics of these civilizations."
"Moreover, judging from some of the artifacts unearthed now, including the sudden knowledge explosion 2,000 years ago, the simultaneous appearance of sages from various countries may also be due to the influence of outer space."
Ye Chen's eyes widened as he listened; it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.
He obtained the seeds of the Mus civilization and thought he was the only person on Earth to have such an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, so many people and forces had obtained alien technology.
For a moment, he felt like high-tech alien technology was being sold off on the street.
The Li family patriarch then asked, "Judging from the technology you've presented, the alien technology you've acquired is quite complete. Now, can you tell me what kind of alien technology, or even prehistoric civilization, you've obtained?"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, half-jokingly, "You guessed right, I did indeed receive some alien technology inheritance. It's a large piece of information containing technology that suddenly appeared in my mind. The information is very messy and there's a lot of it."
The three elders of the Li family exchanged glances and nodded. That made sense, regardless of how much truth Ye Chen had said.
But the fact remains that he acquired knowledge far exceeding the current level of human technology.
In this way, a basis for cooperation is established!
As for seizing it by trickery or using the pretext of righteousness to force Ye Chen to hand it over, such ideas are merely the worst possible methods.
Do you think they can pry open Ye Chen's head to obtain the technology? Even if they force Ye Chen to tell them, who knows if it's true or false?
If Ye Chen tells a false story and misleads the country into going astray in its technological development, it could lead the country into an abyss!
Therefore, aligning everyone's interests and pursuing win-win cooperation is the key to success.
So, the head of the Li family said with a smile, "The leaders are talking to you for the purpose of cooperation. I believe that it would be difficult for one person to reproduce the scientific and technological knowledge in your mind. Cooperation with the country is the best choice."
Seeing that Ye Chen did not object, he continued:
"If you don't object, I will go and report to the top leader and arrange the meeting."
"Okay, I'm fine with it."
After finishing their business, the next step was a welcome banquet. The dinner was very lavish, allowing Ye Chen to once again witness the etiquette and demeanor of this thousand-year-old family.
Compared to this, Western aristocratic etiquette seems like that of a nouveau riche from the countryside.
After the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves, Ye Chen was led to a small building for entertaining distinguished guests.
After taking a relaxing bath, he put on a soft bathrobe, sat down at his desk, turned on his laptop, and began revising the details of the three-year development plan.
Today, we presented the Li family with the technical data on gene therapy as a gift, so some of our plans will need to be revised accordingly.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's ears twitched as he heard light footsteps approaching from the corridor outside. Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of his door.
The person outside was breathing erratically, indicating that they were not at peace.
Ye Chen recognized the footsteps outside as Li Muyue and wondered in surprise, "Muyue, we just parted ways not long ago, why is she here?"
