"We don't need your land, because it's meaningless." Glancing around at the representatives of the various countries, Gorovin slowly said, "If you are willing to salvage our starship from under the ice sheet, I can promise you that we will leave 500 living space on our ship for you and take you away from this galaxy."
The conference hall was silent.
Lavrov was slightly stunned and asked inexplicably.
"Why do we have to leave here?"
"Because in half a century, this place will be conquered, and the seeds of the Harmonious Civilization will dye this land with a different color." Using a flat and straightforward tone, Gorowenhu slowly opened and closed his eyelids before continuing. "In return for your friendship, we will preserve the fire of civilization for you. You can get off the ship in any galaxy we pass by, choose a new land, and start your civilization anew. "
"Do you think we will fail?"
Gorovin didn't answer this question. He just looked at Lavrov with an indifferent look in his eyes.
As if he had heard something funny, Lavrov opened his arms and continued with a smile, "You may not know, but our fleet is already cruising in the Kuiper Belt, and this is just the beginning! We will build a fortress there! Half a century is enough for us to arm ourselves to the teeth, and the invaders from Gliese 581 will never return! "
"Is that so?" Gorovin said indifferently.
For some reason, Lavrov felt a burst of fear from the bottom of his heart when he met that indifferent gaze.
"Standing here, I see a huge and messy bureaucratic group and hear countless different voices. If it weren't for the fact that we have been observing you for decades, it might be a problem to stand here and talk to you. From this point alone, your opponents are several times stronger than you. At the very least, they have completed the unification of civilization. "
"I don't agree with your point of view. A diverse culture is one of the attributes of Earth's civilization." Another representative from Finland stood up and argued.
"However, in the past few decades, I have only seen arguments." Gorovin said calmly, "We never discuss an obvious problem, nor do we waste time on repeated discussions. The problems you are facing are far more urgent than you think, but all of you seem to have ignored this. "
After pausing for a moment, Gorowen continued.
"If you want to defeat the Harmony, you have to solve your internal problems first. If you're standing here and not representing humanity as a whole, but just a certain country or organization, I advise you to plan for a way out. "
Goruowen's suggestion was beyond everyone's expectations. The representatives of the various countries whispered among themselves. Some were indignant, some were dismissive, and some were silent. However, Ge Luowen did not seem to care about their opinions. After seeing that no one asked any more questions, he nodded slightly and turned into light blue particles of light that dissipated.
"This group of arrogant guys, is this the attitude of asking for help?" Lavrov cursed in a low voice and sat back in his seat. He straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and whispered to the secretary next to him, "Send the content to the Kremlin."
"Now?" the secretary asked.
"The sooner, the better."
Although Gorowen I's arrogance made the representatives of the various countries feel a little dissatisfied. However, when they thought about the data in the hands of the extraterrestrial civilization, this level of dissatisfaction was nothing at all.
In the subsequent discussion, the various countries quickly reached a consensus on assisting Gorowen in salvaging the starship. The only focus of the debate was what benefits could be obtained from the starship after the assistance and how the benefits should be distributed.
Although it was still a question whether others were willing to settle down on Earth, Lavrov still maintained his previous proposal. He said that a "refugee camp" could be built in Siberia to settle Gorowen and his people. He even promised many benefits, including autonomy. The generosity of this proposal made the representatives of various countries look at him in surprise.
Regarding Russia's request, of course, China would not let the Russians monopolize the benefits of the extraterrestrial civilization, so they decisively put forward a counterproposal. According to the opinion of China's Foreign Minister Zhou Yi, they could build another maritime city like Penglai City for those aliens to live in.
This city could be built in the South China Sea, and China was willing to bear all the costs of building a maritime city …
There seemed to be more objections.
In an unpleasant atmosphere, the first day of the meeting came to an end early. The next meeting was set for the same time the day after tomorrow. After all, the representatives of various countries also needed to report back to their respective countries, and they also needed some time to discuss internally.
After the meeting, Gorowen's holographic image reappeared in the empty venue.
Jiang Chen, who hadn't spoken much since the beginning of the meeting, walked to the side and said with a smile.
"Good acting."
"Is that so?" Gorowen said, "But I'm not kidding."
"Oh?"
"Since we are from the same hometown, I promised those poor people two things," Gorowen said.
"Which two?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
He knew that the poor people Gorowen mentioned were probably the immigrants who were forever exiled into the void.
"Help you win as much as possible." After a pause, Gorowen continued, "If things don't work out, leave a spark for Earth civilization and bring them to the new world dozens of light-years away."
"So far, I haven't considered the problems after failure," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Do you have so little confidence in us?"
"Your odds of winning are very low, even with our help," Gorowen said.
"Even with the addition of the Gaia civilization?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Oh?" Gorowen looked at Jiang Chen and raised his eyebrows slightly. Such a humanized expression was quite rare on his face. "You also discovered them?"
"What do you mean also?"
"A long, long time ago … even longer than the Sventovit crossed the wormhole, we discovered the remains of the old civilization on Mars. They recorded their past memories through the Flower of Memory and called themselves Gaia. " Gorowen looked at Jiang Chen. "Although it is two parallel worlds, I think we should be talking about the same thing."
He didn't show any surprise. Jiang Chen had expected that countries in the apocalypse would discover the Gaia civilization. After all, the timeline only diverged at the beginning of the twentieth century. Compared to the existence of billions of years ago, the Gaia civilization was like an objective existence.
"To some extent, part of the reason for the outbreak of the Third World War was because of the uneven distribution of spoils," Gorowen said expressionlessly. "Many Flowers of Memory were lost in the competition for the heritage of the Gaia civilization, but even if only a part of the knowledge was inherited, it would still be of great help to us. But if you think that the heritage of the Gaia civilization alone is enough to defeat the Harmony civilization, you are too confident. "
"Even Gaia is just a group of people eliminated by time. Their knowledge can't even solve their own problems. "
"You don't have to worry about this. We will solve this problem in our own way," Jiang Chen said softly. "I will provide you with a place to rest on Mars as agreed. If one day you feel that we have no hope, you can leave at any time. "
Jiang Chen turned and walked in the direction of the door.
"We will stay until the eve of the decisive battle." Looking at Jiang Chen's back, Gorowen said calmly, "Before we set sail, the door of the Sventovit is open to you at any time."
