Chapter 529: Chapter 347: The Art of Negotiation^


    “General Camp, what’s going on with him?”


    In themunication channel, the generals isted Harrison rk and asked


    Mr. Green again.


    Nora Camp was also bewildered, “I don’t know.


    “General Brown, what do you think?”


    Needham Brown’s voice rang out, “I don’t think much of it; he’s crazier than I


    <ol>


    <li>So don’t be surprised by what he’s doing.”</li>


    </ol>


    Not long after, the leaders of the other three systems, Neville Brown, Bernal Connor, and Gerard Schroeder, were also pulled into the conference room.


    Their discussion was fervent.


    Harrison rk’s behavior waspletely unexpected and not at all like his


    usual self.<div>


    Little did they know, theirmunication records were being leaked to


    Harrison rk without any reservation.


    Listening to their conversation, Harrison rk shrugged his shoulders.


    He had more or less figured it out now. Some things were tooplicated to ponder, and it was pointless.


    The external environment¹ s mind control had be deeply ingrained. Topletely shatter the cocoon, he could not follow the rules and regtions of others. He had to go crazy, y his cards unconventionally, like he was doing now.


    He decided not to hold back, to be more bold, heroic, and unrestrained in his


    actions.


    After all, with technology at this level and ideologies so warped, messing things


    up couldn’t make much more of a mess.


    While they were in the meeting, Harrison rk wasn’t idle. He quickly organized his thoughts and wrote everything down about mind cocoons, distorted views on marriage, the poption ratio of the Lost City, his aversion to the War God n, and Brown’s “vulnerable”bat capability. Then he sent all of it out at once.


    The new intelligence sparked another storm, and the conference discussions


    became even more intense.


    After about two hours, a decision was made, and Nora Camp appeared in front


    of Harrison rk as the appointed negotiation representative.


    Harrison rk was still guarding his statue.


    The organizingmittee didn’t let him stop, but he wouldn’t let them build either.


    As long as Harrison rk was here, he could suppress their actions with hismander’s on-site control authority. But once he turned his back and left, he estimated that by tomorrow morning when he woke up, the eye-catching statue would be all over his face.


    “Harrison, we’vee to a decision. Although your theories are very persuasive, we cannot agree to your demands. This is the result of the vote.


    Take a look.”<div>


    Harrison rk nced at it.


    1 vote in favor, 2,789 votes against.


    Not even a single abstention or neutral vote.


    Well, he knew the oue already, but he had to pretend he didn t.<div>


    Harrison rk: “Did you vote in favor?”


    “Of course not, but I don’t know who did.


    Harrison shrugged his shoulders, knowing it was Brown, but not understanding what the crazy snake was thinking.


    “Well, there’s nothing we can do then. We’ll need someone morepetent for the position of Legion Commander.”


    Nora Camp said with iprehension, “I know your intentions may be good. But you can’t ignore that since the Advent of the Sr Dome, for the past 500 years, we have been able to put aside disputes and personal interests and persevere by following the guidance of the wise man Harrison rk. By taking down his statue now, you’re not only denying his achievements, but also destroying the beliefs of most people.”


    Harrison rk smiled, “I find it quite ufortable to hear about beliefs from a soldier like you. The existence of beliefs means that people have already given up on self-reliance and have entrusted their fate to the non-existent gods. “I don’t deny that the spirit of the wise men once yed a crucial role, but relying on the worship of others to gain spiritual strength is limited by the times.”


    “Ancient people are no different from non-existent gods. Times are changing, and war is bing imminent. We must transform our faith in the ancient people into absolute self-confidence in our own abilities.”


    “Even if we must believe in someone, it should not be the ancient people who can only guide us spiritually. We must worship a true leader. This person must be alive, capable of making decisions, leading troops, conducting scientific research, and controlling political situations.


    Nora Camp considered it and said, “Your words make sense, but they still can’t convince me or anyone else.”


    Harrison rk rolled his eyes secretly, “Well then, forget it, whatever.”


    Nora Camp: “What do you want us to do to satisfy you? The eight hundred million Lost Ones only trust you now, and these forty million members of the Army Corps also depend on you. You can’t just abandon them.


    “But our negotiation has broken down,” Harrison rk shrugged.


    You all can y dirty, so can I.<div>


    “You can propose another condition, something more reasonable.


    Nora Camp blushed and fidgeted, deliberately sticking her chest out.


    The hint was obvious.


    She was just short of directly throwing herself at him and loudly screaming, “As long as you want, even though I don’t like it, I can use my broad-mindedness to change your stubbornness.”


    Nora Camp believed that this wouldn’t count as forcibly changing behaviors as the War God Research Institute described because it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.


    She believed that with Harrison rk’s consistent performance, he would easily fall into the trap.


    Then maybe she would really get a taste of how wonderful the experience he talked about would be, just like the ancient novels and films portrayed.


    Harrison rk pretended to ponder, “Alright, then how about this: don’t demolish the statue, fine, but demolish the Salvation Museum in Oxfordshire.


    That’s my first condition.”


    Nora Camp: “Huh?”


    “Does that not work either? Then I’ll lower my demands, take down the highest treasury room. Recently, the cosmic wisdom of the wise men has been too strong for me, and I need a strand of hair from the treasury room. I have a small research project I need to carry out.”Nora Camp pondered for a while before saying, “You said that the philosophers can only provide spiritual guidance, isn’t this a specific hint? Haven’t they done enough for us?”


    Harrison rk: “…”


    So annoying.<div>


    How did he get himself wrapped up in this again?


    “Just say if it’s possible,” Harrison rk said, somewhat angrily.


    Nora Camp thought about it, “This should be possible.


    “Then, my second condition is that I need to know where the Superbrain Core of the Supreme Intelligent Brain Star is.”


    “What do you want to know this for?” Nora Camp hesitated.


    Harrison rk spread his hands, “You don’t need to worry about that. All you need to know is that if neither of these conditions is met, I won’t even have the slightest motivation. This time, I’ll just keep my cool. You don’t have to worry about me not contributing. I can guarantee that when the fighting starts, I’ll definitely be in the front, take the heaviest beating, and fight the toughest enemies. But as a Legion Commander, if my heart isn’tmitted, I won’t be able to do a good job, so I won’t even consider it.


    Nora Camp left with his attitude, urging the Drogon Armament to fly away.


    Harrison rk stood in ce, wearing a smile that said everything was under control.


    He knew that this time, he would definitely seed.


    His two requests were not excessive.


    Wait a minute…


    Did he miss something again?


    Just forget about the minor details.<div>


    This time, Star did not livestream the meeting to him, but Nora Camp came


    back quickly.


    Harrison rk¹ s proposal passed.


    Nora Camp whispered in his ear, and Harrison rk looked surprised, then suddenly enlightened.


    “It turns out! Alright, I’ll go to Oxfordshire now.”


    Harrison rk cupped his hands and turned to leave.


    He headed straight for the Salvation Museum in Oxfordshire and, under the puzzled gaze of security personnel, took ten intact hairs from Carrie Thomas. Then, without stopping, he boarded the high-speed space shuttle, heading straight for the barrier edge named the Sr Dome in this timeline.


    There was only him on the shuttle, not apanied by anyone.


    Halfway through, Star finally couldn’t help but project her figure, looking at him with questioning eyes, “What exactly do you want to do?”


    In fact, Harrison rk had asked her this question before, but for some reason, she had not answered.


    Harrison rk stared straight at her, “I want to tell you some things, give you some changes.”


    Star shook her head, “I think it’s good now, and I don’t need to change.”


    “That’s what you think, not what I think.”


    Star: “You don’t dream anymore, you don’t expect me to materialize my core in front of you.”


    Harrison rk smiled and did not respond.


    Last time you were so extreme and still fell into my trap.


    This time, I only need three seconds to deceive you.


    In fact, Harrison rk felt that Star had begun to deceive herself since she discovered her gene information was abnormalst month.


    Her sudden appearance, the inexplicable “betrayal” of Harrison rk’s gene information, and then the betrayal of the War God n were allpletely inconsistent with her past behavior and had already betrayed her underlying logic.


    So, no matter what she says now, Harrison rkbelieves that when he shows up at her Superbrain Core andys his cards on the table, she will be “abnormal” again.


    In Harrison rk’s n, Star was also the mastermind he had to “deal with.” Without Star’s terrifyingputation power of quantum intelligence at their disposal, the human thinking cocoon of the 29th century would not have been so stable.


    Under the new Pseudo-Curvature Engine’s power, Harrison rk’s time machine quickly reached one-third the speed of light and moved smoothly forward.


    The sr system has a high density of stardust, and the overall unified force-field curvature bubble is still unstable, so it can only reach this speed within the sr system.


    If it reaches the outer sr system, where the environment is close to absolute vacuum, the new Pseudo-Curvature Engine can force a battleship to approach the speed of light.


    In absolute vacuum, theoretically, even without the protection of the curvature bubble, a spaceship can travel several times the speed of light.


    However, the universe doesn’t have absolute vacuums. So the next space flight bottleneck for human beings will be to build an absolutely stable curvature bubble.


    The improvement in curvature bubble performance refers to spaceship shields. The advancement of shield technology requires the solving of numerous sub-technology branches, such as force field algorithms, basic force structures, energy release, energy storage, and material science.


    These branches, when ites to specific implementation, involve even more minor details.


    For the entire civilization’s scientific research force, there are numerous simr technical problems to solve; no detail can be left behind, and countless people and Star must make tireless efforts.


    Due to the long distance, it takes Harrison rk about four days to get back and forth.


    He didn’t have any time to waste, and his schedule was tight.
