Chapter 6
Those in power in the Middle Ages could afford to lose.
Shen Jian walked out of the ended meeting and thought, and took over the documents sorted out by Shen Lanhe. The three bloody words "Middle Ages" were clearly marked in red on the paper.
——Mo Yi gave all the clone data of Shen Xiuzhu to Shen Jian in exchange for a chance to survive in the Middle Ages.
"I just checked it remotely with the people in the laboratory. It's very detailed. There shouldn't be anything hidden." Chen Lanhe put on an exquisite mask with a calm expression. "If nothing unexpected happens, with your permission, we can cultivate the first batch of bionic clones of Wuyan Tower in about two months..."
"No need," Shen Jian interrupted him, lowered his eyes to look at the information in his hand, "Give the information to Qingzhu."
“Qingzhu should be very willing to avenge this himself, even if he is not at the headquarters and the research speed will be slower.” Shen Jian handed the information back to the person behind him and shrugged jokingly.
He really cared about Qingzhu - were you kidding! Shen Jian didn't want Wuyi Tower to master another high-tech technology, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to stop this legitimate research that would take Wuyi Tower to a higher level. Moreover, psychologically, he was full of moral resistance to the technology of cloning humans.
He simply gave it to Qingzhu under the pretext of doing it for Qingzhu's own good. He didn't believe that Shen Xiuzhu could really carve out a research room in the heavily guarded military area. If he wanted to do it, it would definitely take a long time.
He must have run away by then! After Shen Jian comforted himself, he came to his senses and found himself in the top floor room, surrounded by seven or eight direct high-ranking officials of the Wuyan Tower, all with the surname Shen.
Yet she stared at him with eyes that were forbearing, touching, and respectful.
Shen Jian: What's going on?
"Boss, even if Shen Xiuzhu made such a serious mistake, you can still let him go... Then the next time I make a mistake, you..." Some people even began to jokingly ask for promises.
What serious mistake did Shen Xiuzhu make?
Shen Jian began to recall desperately, didn't Shen Xiuzhu bring back the fake clone? He even accepted his silent deprivation of power! He could be called a humble and forbearing clerk! !
Is it a fault to be plotted against and have clone data taken? He still doesn't understand the thinking of these highly intelligent monsters. Damn it, they are embarrassing humanity again.
Shen Jian closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his expression had been forced to become indifferent.
However, since they followed him to his room and said such words, it meant that... in the eyes of his subordinates, the matter was not over yet.
“Where is the Middle Ages now?”
"Mo Yi has already started moving most of the laboratories out of City C." When it came to business, everyone restrained their expressions. "It is estimated that the remaining ones will be the laboratories responsible for the cleaning plan and the small security room that was abandoned by default."
These places will then be swallowed and digested by small organizations.
Shen Jian opened his eyes and was silent for a while after listening to such a detailed answer, calming his intense heartbeat and the relief of having just spoken.
"You gave the Middle Ages three months to prepare for war," Shen An paused, raised his hand and released a display screen. The map outline on it was clearly Country C, with more than 30 red dots of varying sizes flashing faintly.
Nonsense, he had clearly already said that he would let go of the Middle Ages, and he had no intention of starting a war.
Shen Jian thought expressionlessly.
"This is what Tan Ling just gave me when the meeting was adjourned. He was quite considerate." Shen An Pian Pian explained the display screen that clearly marked the location of the medieval laboratory, then looked at Shen Jian and sighed, his tone regretful but also with the light-hearted excitement of going to the front line, "Sir, three months is too long, one month will show your kindness."
Someone chuckled, "The boss is always kind. Give him a month to keep the core laboratory. Three months..."
Shen Jian closed his eyes, leaned back on the patent leather sofa and said nothing.
It turned out that in the eyes of his subordinates, he had only "mercifully" acquiesced in the Middle Ages' pre-war strategy of cutting off the tail to survive and preserve the core, which was equivalent to the aggressor "mercifully" issuing a three-month advance warning to the invaded party before a war between two countries.
It was as if he was an arrogant, old-fashioned and polite tyrant.
Chen Jian secretly smiled bitterly, and began to pray that Mo Yi could hide deeper, and then he would let him go a little and save the Middle Ages, so that he would not look so lonely on the road to tearing down the Wuyan Tower.
But in full view of everyone, he had to connect the display screen to Solomon's private line to show that he knew.
"Well, boss, we'll leave first." Seeing that the matter was resolved, several subordinates lowered their heads and signaled to leave, leaving only Shen Lanhe and Shen An in the room.
"?" Shen Jian looked up with a hint of confusion.
Shen Lanhe's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but take off his disguise, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, you didn't forget that Shen Xiuzhu was in control of the weapons research lab again, did you?"
"Seeing that Sir didn't bring Shen Xiuzhu with him, the group of people below have begun to panic whether Sir will sell those weapons this time." Shen An added a few words, and raised his bright eyes to look at Shen Jian.
"Sir? Do you really want to start a war? In fact, I also feel that we have been quiet for too long. They..."
Shen Jian calmly raised his hand to interrupt Shen An.
He couldn't say any more. If he continued like this, he would really become the sinner of the world war.
He now had no doubt at all that as long as he opened his mouth and said he wanted to rule the world, these guys would really start a war and make him the emperor.
And, damn it! What about selling weapons? He had never seen any information about this!
Shen Jian searched for information frantically, and finally pulled out in his mind the two pure black papers without a single word on them when he first discovered the information.
Shen An was surprised when he saw Shen Jian's action of stopping him, "But just now, when Shen Xiuzhu wanted to communicate with the gentleman, didn't the gentleman hang up?"
Shen Jian's mouth twitched, "Are you referring to the communication he sent me in a roundabout way to find out about my recent situation?"
If the situation did not allow it, based on his communication, Shen Jian would be able to pin Shen Xiuzhu as a suspected traitor and deal with him quickly.
Shen Lanhe raised an eyebrow, “Although I don’t want to speak for him, he is not always like this. Didn’t you allow it last time?”
Shen Jian's heart skipped a beat. He tightened his voice and answered as if nothing had happened, "But it's limited to a short enough communication."
Shen Lanhe did not comment, "Then..."
"Tomorrow," Shen Jian raised his eyes, his voice subconsciously slowed down and became softer, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, "Let Xu Yinmo come over once."
Shen An's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously lowered his head even lower.
He had to use all his strength to restrain himself from looking at the leader in front of him to whom he was loyal, as if this was the only way to ignore the violent beating of his chest.
The air seemed to be filled with ammunition, with gunpowder smoke falling down. The hard shell was airtight and was likely to suffocate people inside the shell.
But Shen Jian seemed to feel nothing, he said calmly, “That’s it.”
How about it?
Shen Lanhe took a deep breath and almost wanted to laugh out loud.
He clearly gave [Middle Ages] three months to prepare for war, and clearly deliberately hung up Shen Xiuzhu’s communication, but he called the person in charge of the Northern Theater to a meeting tomorrow.
Is the boss merciful? Yes, at least he gave [Middle Ages] a chance to resist. Is the boss merciful?
The boss knew that Xu Yinmo lacked a formal letter of surrender, and there was a 50% chance that this letter of surrender would be used in the show that would start with the sale of weapons tomorrow, and there was another 50% chance that...
It fell into the Middle Ages.
After all, Shen Jian gave Mo Yi time, but the Northern Theater did not.
Chen Lanhe stood up and left, looking at Chen An who was smiling exactly the same as him, and both saw a strong desire to submit in each other's eyes.
After closing the door, Shen An took a deep breath, his voice as soft as cotton, "Sir...you said you didn't want to start a war."
Chen Lanhe did not reply, but walked towards his room in silence. His steps seemed to be measured by a ruler, and he had to be rational and restrained.
After a moment, he spoke slowly, "At least, the boss gave them one night to resist, didn't he?"
After Shen Lanhe finished speaking, he opened the door and entered the room.
Shen An blinked, stared at the alloy titanium door opposite that was flashing blue light for a while, and smiled softly, “Shen Lanhe, you are jealous too.”
Like Shen Xiuzhu... Because he was jealous because the gentleman accepted Xu Yinmo's sword.
"Unlike me, I only help the gentleman to solve his problems. They only make troubles secretly and hold him back." Shen An's face intentionally or unintentionally turned towards the surveillance camera in the corner that was flashing a faint blue light. He looked innocent, and after saying that, he opened the door and walked into the room.
All that was left was Shen Lanhe on the other side, not knowing whether he could hear clearly through the door, and Shen Jian, who was confused and silent in front of the surveillance footage.
Shen Jian swore that he just wanted to observe his subordinates, how could he expect to see Shen An go crazy on the spot.
Shen Jian put down the surveillance camera with a sad heart, and even understood why the original owner changed Shen An to Shen An.
…Maybe it’s a prayer that Shen An can be more peaceful.
.
night. Summer insects chirp.
Three thousand meters in the air, at the edge of the large floor-to-ceiling window made of secret high-pressure composite glass sponsored by Weirui Group, memory metal of unknown purpose and a futuristic game cabin lie quietly.
For the first time, the stars outside the window seemed to be within reach - the civilians' view of the sky was forever occupied by various launching laboratories, and white clouds and starry sky were the only precious luxuries left in the virtual AI world.
Shen Jian listened quietly to the insect sounds that should have been extinct in the civilian textbooks. All the information he had read in the past two days flashed through his mind, and after a moment, he opened his eyes.
You might think he would be very sad, but he was surprisingly calm and even thinking about tomorrow's meeting agenda.
...He still had to go back to the Wuyan Tower. Even though he had mastered most of the information about the Wuyan Tower with his photographic memory, he still didn't know the daily life of the original owner, and some small details that might suddenly expose his identity.
For example, today's phone calls, or tomorrow's weapons sales.
With this in mind, Shen Jian stood up and lay down in the small quantum teleporter that looked like a holographic game cabin and returned to the Wuyan Tower. He did not recall the night before, when he was secretly terrified that one quantum teleportation would consume the resources to build half a small laboratory.
The third second after Shen Jian completed the transmission, Shen An and Shen Lanhe arrived behind Shen Jian's door at the same time, fully dressed.
They stood quietly on both sides of the door, with their backs against the wall, silent as if they had already known that Shen Jian would go back at this time.
——Of course, two hours ago, Shen Jian turned on the monitoring facilities, which meant that he reminded the two of them that there would be action tonight.
