[Note: Thanks to the editor, I was released from the small black room in the previous chapter. ]
As it turned out, everything Huairen said was not a dream.
Yong Zhou really intends to communicate with them.
Although what arrived as promised was not a real person, but a raven.
But Zhang Shouquan didn't actually feel insulted. Rather, he felt it was normal that no real person came.
That's eternal day!
An ancient mysterious organization that spans an unknown number of years in human history.
They are powerful, noble...more qualified than any human being to call themselves the representatives of this planet.
The more you understand Yong Zhou, the more you will understand.
During the countless years of the abyss invasion, humans have always been just babies protected by Eternal Day, and it is difficult for them to even see Eternal Day's back from a distance.
But things are different now.
This raven represents that they finally have that chance.
Now that children are more sensible, they are finally qualified to communicate with their parents.
Therefore, Zhang Shouquan did not feel humiliated when communicating with the raven.
After all, what qualifications do they have to be treated seriously and equally by Yong Zhou? Over countless years, Yong Zhou has witnessed too many dynasties fall and change.
In Yong Zhou's eyes, countless countries are nothing more than some insignificant superstructures of the human race as a whole, and are not at all crucial.
Their rise and fall actually has little impact on the overall continuation of mankind.
The premise for equal treatment is that the gap in strength is not that big.
Although Zhang Shouquan was not sure whether Raven 1001 really had independent thinking or was controlled by someone behind the scenes.
But in any case, nothing can go wrong.
As a result, all dishes containing birds were removed, and the whole table seemed much more bland.
And on this seemingly not very sumptuous dining table, Zhang Shouquan and Raven 1001 went straight to the point of discussing what they wanted to discuss this time.
First of all: it is about how to maintain long-term communication relationships in the future.
"Excuse me, does Yong Zhou have any idea of establishing an embassy in our country?"
Zhang Shouquan said this with curiosity in his eyes.
He is very concerned about this.
No matter what they will communicate with Yong Zhou this time, a one-time deal is never a good idea.
So Zhang Shouquan is looking forward to more opportunities for cooperation.
It is best to establish a long-term communication channel now and make advance preparations for possible communication and cooperation in the future.
Just like the embassies built between many countries.
Raven 1001 did not agree to this.
An embassy means a piece of territory in another country, means the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between two forces, and means that the political relations between the two forces will be promoted.
But in fact, Yong Zhou has no intention of establishing political relations with other countries in the short term, or it should be said that they have never thought about it.
The entire human race has lived under the protection of Eternal Day since ancient times. It is undoubtedly difficult to accept that a part of the human organization is now asking to establish diplomatic relations with Eternal Day.
This is like calling your younger brother your brother. The huge gap makes it difficult to establish an equal cooperative relationship.
“We have no intention of establishing an embassy for the time being.”
"However, we can set up a Yong Zhou liaison office in China, which will be affiliated with our newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
“It can serve as a bridge for any communication that may arise between us in the future.”
Raven1001's answer is flawless.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shouquan immediately understood what Raven 1001 meant.
His eyes dimmed for a moment, then returned to being kind.
Zhang Shouquan smiled slightly and continued the topic.
Theoretically, the construction of a normal embassy must be the responsibility of the country hosting it. However, considering the mystery of Yong Zhou, Zhang Shouquan felt that they might not send people to build it themselves.
At this time, you can naturally try to take the initiative to show your courtesy.
“The land does not need to be too large, and it can be placed anywhere near the consulate’s concentrated area.”
"As for the construction issue, you don't need to get involved too much. We naturally have our own methods."
There was no expression on the beak of Raven 1001, but Zhang Shouquan felt as if he could see a calm and mysterious smile.
Just a piece of land? Then what kind of ability will the mysterious Yong Zhou show in construction work? This is land in the consulate concentration area. Consulates of various countries are concentrated there. Building anything there will inevitably attract countless eyes.
Is Yong Zhou building a new embassy here in the name of a country that has just established diplomatic relations with China so as not to attract attention?
Or should they just openly display the name and logo of Eternal Daylight while letting countless eyes around turn a blind eye to the newly built building? These questions made Zhang Shouquan feel like he was being scratched by a cat.
"I don't know... Will there be a chance to observe the construction process?"
Zhang Shouquan asked tentatively.
Although since the lunar engine incident, they dare not openly investigate Yongzhao in depth.
But with such an opportunity to take a glimpse of the mystery right in front of us, it seems a bit of a pity not to take a look.
"As you please."
Raven 1001 remained calm.
It was as if there was infinite confidence beneath this tone.
Zhang Shouquan nodded upon hearing this.
Then, it’s time to discuss business with Raven 1001.
We just discussed building long-term communication channels, and haven't started the real discussion yet.
As he thought about it, Zhang Shouquan's expression became serious.
"This time, we plan to inform you of the following matters: matters related to the moon, matters related to awakeners, matters related to spiritual practice, and matters related to technical support."
Raven 1001 recited a long list, listing four nouns that Zhang Shouquan was very concerned about.
Just by hearing these topics, Zhang Shouquan felt a surge of excitement.
And what Raven 1001 said next really made Zhang Shouquan open his eyes wide.
【The first point is about the moon. 】
From now on, the moon will become a restricted area, and the specific reasons will not be disclosed due to confidentiality regulations.
Zhang Shouquan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, they were shocked by the exaggerated performance of the planetary engine, so they did not dare to stay on the moon any longer, nor did they dare to continue to investigate the Eternal Day.
Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this decision. Just think about it, they cannot easily touch such a powerful thing as the planetary engine.
Although Zhang Shouquan was extremely curious about everything related to the planetary engine, he wanted to know some deeper details about such an exaggerated thing.
But he knew very well that it was probably something he should not be curious about.
Therefore, regarding the concise first point announced by Raven 1001, Zhang Shouquan calmly chose to remain silent.
[The second point is about matters related to the awakened.]
With Raven 1001's explanation, Zhang Shouquan finally understood the reason for the frequent appearance of people with super powers across the country recently.
It turns out that there is something called the spiritual rules of the ocean tides, which awakens the spirituality of random people.
Yongzhou has the ability to monitor the appearance of these people in real time, and they promised to provide relevant information to China so that they can check for omissions in Yongzhou's process of monitoring the awakened people.
Although Zhang Shouquan didn't know what the so-called spiritual rule ocean was, he also didn't know what caused this tide.
But he understood that since Yong Zhou had real-time monitoring capabilities, he didn't need to worry too much about the awakener incident that had worried him for some time.
As for this large-scale real-time monitoring capability, Zhang Shouquan turned a deaf ear to it and did not dare to think about whether it could also monitor himself and others.
Some things are better left unknown.
As for the "Awakener Management Act" proposed by Raven 1001 regarding matters related to the Awakeners, Zhang Shouquan basically chose to accept it in its entirety.
Except for some possible inhumane penalties, most of the provisions in this bill are fine and can even be said to be quite rigorous.
Those inhumane parts can be regarded as what the defendants deserve. In the absence of public democratic supervision, the use of these extreme punishments is actually not a big problem.
【The third point is about matters related to spiritual practice.】
According to Raven 1001's narration, Zhang Shouquan gained a deeper understanding of this spiritual practice.
This spiritual practice originated from Master Jiexian and the Sage of Stars at Nalanda Monastery, and was finally developed and promoted by Master Xuanzang.
It is impossible for Zhang Shouquan to investigate the relationship between these people 1,400 years ago. The exploration team he sent to India only brought back a wooden box from the ruins of Nalanda.
What Zhang Shouquan is more concerned about is some supplementary introduction of the spiritual practice method by Raven 1001, as well as the application of some derivative techniques used.
These are undoubtedly real and useful information.
Huairen, who was listening in on the side, was fascinated by what was said and wished that Raven 1001 would keep talking.
However, this kind of practical explanation did not continue forever. Not long after, Raven 1001 brought up one thing: about the wooden box.
Yong Zhou knew exactly what he had found the wooden box, which made him a little uneasy.
What reassured Zhang Shouquan was that Yong Zhou had no intention of taking back the wooden box, nor did he blame him.
Raven 1001 said that this was a gift left by Foreign Minister Xuanzang, and it was a power bestowed by Yong Zhou for them to use.
The hidden powers and abilities of those three monsters can actually bring them a lot of benefits.
【The fourth and final point is about the related technologies that can be supported. 】
This is also what Zhang Shouquan is most looking forward to.
Just like the title of this topic, Raven 1001 directly explained the application of some psychic technology.
The focus is on the utilization of meteorite materials, the extraction of spiritual power from abyss monsters, and the cases of combining technology and spiritual power.
This undoubtedly knew a lot about the Xun Zhou Bureau, and gave some explanations on what they had.
Zhang Shouquan didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
He understood that these few simple points he wrote down might become an important support for China to maintain stability in troubled times in the future.
Although these theories seem relatively basic, they are some of the fundamental problems that China must overcome if it wants to follow this path.
If they didn't have Yongri's help, they would have to overcome some obstacles and spend a long time if they wanted to develop in these areas.
It’s different now.
Zhang Shouquan had a hunch.
In addition to the [Wujing Liquid Binding Net], the scientific research department's ideas such as [Wuneng Stand] and [Mind Monkey Vibrating Mecha] on the plan list based on the characteristics of several monsters will also succeed soon.
This is undoubtedly a great gift.
The luxury of it made Zhang Shouquan a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Although this may not be worth mentioning to Yong Zhou, he still feels he cannot afford it.
Although there are declarations and orders in the agenda of Eternal Day, there are more benefits and interests.
Zhang Shouquan pondered for a long time and could not help but ask seriously: "Does China really have the qualifications to accept these?"
"You actually represent the Human Alliance. They said that they are more optimistic about the cohesion of your nation. For thousands of years, you have always been one of the main sources of new forces for the Everday. You are most likely to become the main body of the Human Alliance in the future."
Raven 1001 gave an answer to Zhang Shouquan's question.
"Humanity Union..."
Zhang Shouquan was silent after hearing this.
Although he has always been vaguely aware that in the future human beings may be forced to unite into a community with a shared future in the face of disasters.
But when Yong Zhou really said this, he couldn't help but be a little dazed.
"How terrible will the future disasters be?"
"Is that abyss really that powerful?"
Zhang Shouquan's eyes were solemn. He couldn't help but feel more gloomy about the real enemy of Eternal Day that Raven 1001 had never mentioned.
"That is the darkness across the endless sea."
"But don't worry, at least so far..."
"Eternal Day is still here!"
“And it will always be there!”
Raven 1001 said seriously.
In a trance, Zhang Shouquan felt as if he saw perseverance and the belief of never giving up from the face of this ordinary bird.
Phew, finally finished writing.
I just finished writing this after spending the whole day with my girlfriend. I may have written it in a hurry, so please correct me if there are any mistakes.
