Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Shen Yu’s Ownership
Shen Yu had indeed discussed this issue with interstellar world Shen Yu.
Especially in terms of weaponry.
If the Martial Arts Civilization stands for the potential of future development, then the Interstellar Civilization embodies the power of the present.
Technology weapons can rapidly enhance the strength of Mother Star civilization.
And the Interstellar Civilization indeed possesses a batch of decommissioned stockpile.
That was from two hundred years ago, when the Interstellar Civilization officially stepped into the era of interstellar migration, and an internal war erupted.
The contradiction of the civil war centered precisely on AI.
The radicals believed AI could greatly accelerate the development speed of Human Civilization, speeding up the research of various technologies, while the conservatives argued AI would destroy humanity’s own creativity, and harbored the risk of rebellion.
The entire war lasted twenty-one years.
In the end, it concluded with the victory of the radicals, but also absorbed part of the conservatives’ viewpoints. Afterwards, for two hundred years, there was no further war—until the Void Spirit Civilization’s emergence.
Though these were merely equipment from two hundred years ago, for the Mother Star Civilization today, they were still far superior to the present.
Even more, they were cheap.
At this moment, the entire conference room was extremely quiet; everyone wore expressions of anticipation, mingled with an intense excitement.
They already realized that they were witnessing a true, history-transcending turning point in the evolution of Human Civilization!
Shen Yu didn’t waste time either; he straightforwardly projected the list.
This meeting was not publicly announced; everyone seated here was qualified to be a representative of the powers eligible to participate in the upcoming, civilization-wide industrial and technological transition.
And as the representatives saw the contents of the list clearly, the venue finally filled with a bit of uncontrollable commotion.
"The first is room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconducting material?"
"Controllable nuclear fusion, and miniaturized nuclear batteries!"
"Universal quantum computer?"
"Brain-computer interface, solid-state batteries, and artificial photosynthesis system—what’s this last one?"
"That’s the technology for direct synthesis of starch, even fuel—God! This can completely resolve hunger!"
"Universal robot-type artificial intelligence core?"
"Global wireless energy transmission network. This is incredible!"
"..."
What interstellar world Shen Yu brought out were all actually outdated technologies from over three hundred years ago in the Interstellar Civilization; only technologies of this level could interface with Human Civilization at its current stage.
Yet even so, for everyone present, it was as if the doorway to the future world was opened; any one of these would have caused worldwide sensation and brought about a revolution in civilization were it to appear in the past.
And now, all at once, it was possible to have them all!
Even with prior psychological preparations, people still couldn’t help but feel a boundless euphoria.
Each of these technologies meant Human Civilization would leap aboard a rocket, shooting straight toward the future!
"Everyone." Olinard suddenly stood up at this moment. He first gave a slight salute to the two Shen Yus at the podium, then turned to the other representatives, smiling as he said, "According to the decision made at the highest global joint conference held three hours ago, I hereby announce: all technology, equipment, and resources from our allies shall have fifty-one percent of its ownership rights vested personally in Advisor Shen Yu, and this shall be irrevocably sealed. Another twenty percent shall go to Mr. Han Yu, and the final twenty-nine percent will belong to the Global Meteorite Crisis Management Department."
These words rendered all the representatives present mutually speechless.
Some representatives opened their mouths, wanting to speak, but immediately realized and hurriedly shut their mouths.
Shen Yu was unsurprised by this.
He had long since learned of this arrangement from Ji Mingshu.
Clearly, the real purpose behind this decision was to tie Shen Yu himself to them.
If someone from the Otherworld could come, that meant Shen Yu could also take people away. If he transferred his family and friends elsewhere, his only connection to this world would be the word "homeland."
This was simply too insignificant.
The life and death of Human Civilization, the futures of every one present, were all now tied to the fate of Shen Yu alone.
Thus, reinforcing Shen Yu’s interests, status, and authority here had become an absolutely crucial strategy.
Fifty-one percent was just enough to represent "ownership."
Similarly, awarding interstellar world Shen Yu twenty percent apparently stemmed from those elites sensing that the Interstellar Civilization didn’t value them highly.
Otherwise, even with the Association’s "mutual aid rules" as constraints, there would still have been countless ways to give tenfold, hundredfold levels of support and assistance at present.
This was also a way to heighten Interstellar Civilization’s attention to their world.
As for the last part, it was obviously to strengthen the authority and status of the new "Global Meteorite Crisis Management Department," so that the global distribution of interests of all major powers would be limited within its framework, thereby focusing greater strength in combating the disaster.
Clearly, this was a decision made with determination and sincerity.
However, they still overlooked one thing.
That was the purpose of the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association.
"According to the principles and regulations of the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association, I cannot, actively or passively, use the advantage of civilization to expand my party’s influence within your civilization. I must respect and maintain the absolute dominant authority of your civilization’s members." interstellar world Shen Yu said at this moment, "Therefore, I shall gift my twenty percent share, unconditionally, to Member Shen Yu."
At this, Olinard’s expression froze.
Looking at interstellar world Shen Yu’s calm face, as if handing out a light little present, and then at the equally calm face of Shen Yu.
They finally realized that they still lacked a serious understanding of the Association and the Gray Mist Walker.
Although they had previously known the Association had relevant regulations, at the very start they still thought that as long as Shen Yu agreed, interstellar world Shen Yu could accept it.
Absolute dominant authority?
Yet regardless of their reaction, the meeting continued.
Shen Yu offered no response to interstellar world Shen Yu’s gift, because this was Association principle.
Every Shen Yu ought to be in full command of their civilization’s power and responsibility.
Just as he would not use the status of his main self to pursue deep authority in other worlds.
So, at the moment, he simply brushed past the topic, as if everything were just naturally so.
Directly he went to the next topic: "The batch of weapon stockpiles from Interstellar Civilization includes many types, ranging from individual gear to planetary-scale aircraft carriers, each at different prices. I hope you all will, based on the present crisis, choose carefully and pick effective equipment. Especially for West Country, the spread of zombie bacteria must be contained."
Currently, a batch of live zombie bacteria samples were being urgently sent, to be studied alongside unknown plants from Eastern Country at the Interstellar Civilization.
But before results appear, the situation must be kept under control.
Eastern Country is already fully mobilizing additional troops.
Both these types of enemies, if allowed to spread unchecked, would pose an immediate existential threat to the entire civilization.
