Although Xiao Ran was all smiles the entire time, there were only less than 10 people among the hundred plus people who expressed friendliness and willingness to cooperate with Xiao Ran. Most of them left in a huff. The calmest ones were the seven leaders who calmly nodded their heads at Xiao Ran, a person of unknown origin who popped out of nowhere. Then, under Katyas' arrangements, they left with their subordinates.
Xiao Ran kept the faces of the less than 10 people firmly in his mind. To be able to maintain friendliness with him under such circumstances, people like that were usually smart people who knew how to judge the situation. The smarter they were, the more likely they would know how to choose. To Xiao Ran, the smarter they were, the greater the possibility of cooperation.
Under Katyas' arrangement, the seven leaders each headed towards their own individual small buildings. Katyas didn't hurry over with Xiao Ran after they arrived at their resting place. Instead, he delayed for two whole hours. During these two hours, Katyas and Xiao Ran had been discussing who to use as the breakthrough point.
Choosing a breakthrough point was a very cautious matter. Even if the other party could be roped into their camp, it was still the same. Because if they failed, Xiao Ran would have no choice but to kill them in order to keep the secret. If that happened, it would also cause a lot of twists and turns in their future plans.
The two of them discussed for a while. Among the seven people, they definitely couldn't get in touch with those from the Privileged Faction. It was also impossible to get in touch with those from the Military Faction. The involvement of the Patriarch Faction was too broad and they couldn't easily get in touch with them. There were three people who could be easily roped in. The first was a ruthless man from the Civilian Faction named Maxi. He was a General of the Federation and also had his own influence in the Military.
The remaining two were members of the Moderate Faction. The Moderate Faction members were more concerned about the stability of the situation. Only a stable situation could bring more benefits to the enterprises, families, and consortiums behind them. The one with the highest economic strength was also a typical fence-sitter. But it was precisely this kind of fence-sitter that controlled the entire Federation's economic lifeline and didn't have any real conflicts with people from any faction.
For the sake of benefits. Moreover, the benefits were tangible and limitless. The possibility of roping in the moderates was also quite high. After all, in this one year of war, the moderates had also suffered the greatest blow because of the ravages of the war.
Xiao Ran thought for a long time. After Katyas had thoroughly analyzed the situation of several factions, he lightly tapped the table with his hand. "Then let's contact the moderates first. Since they prioritize benefits, the general situation of peace is the most powerful to them. The hyperspace warp engine is also a temptation that they simply can't refuse, and it won't cause any real conflict with any faction, so even if they don't immediately agree, they will still maintain goodwill towards us and leave the possibility of cooperation."
"As for that Markesi from the Commoner Faction, he must be a smart person to be able to climb up from a commoner to where he is today. If we want to rope him in, we must let him see the possibility of our success and give him benefits that he can't refuse. For power, we can promise him that after the war subsides, we will let him control two large exploration spaceships. "
Katyas nodded and said, "Then we also need to paralyze the other people. Even if we don't talk about roping in cooperation, we still need to let them know about the existence of the hyperspace warp engine, so as to buy some time for us to quell their anger. In the process of development, we also need them to act as a protective umbrella for us."
Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Katyas. "You should understand the means of businessmen better than I do. Since the boast is broken, it doesn't matter if the thing is not in their hands. From time to time, we will reveal some things to whet their appetite. After a while, we will continue the work of roping them in. Right now, Xiaya's side still needs time, so we are not in a hurry. "
Katyas nodded and stood up. "Then, let's go and arrange the two sirs first."
Katyas and Xiao Ran walked out of the cocktail party's building and directly boarded a car that didn't look very conspicuous. Then, they drove towards the resting place of the two moderates and arranged the resting place for the seven of them. Katyas was also especially accommodating. Not to mention that they were separated, they also had a way to enter the place where the seven people were resting without being discovered by others.
However, since they had decided to publicize the hyperspace warp engine, there was no need to be sneaky about it. In any case, everyone would eventually know about it. So, they openly arranged for the two moderates to be placed there.
At this time, the two moderates were discussing the matters of today's meeting. One of them was called Bill, and the other was called Jose. When the two heard that Katyas and Xiao Ran had come to visit, they looked at each other and chuckled. They didn't feel anything strange about it. It was as if they had already determined that the two people would definitely come to find them. However, they didn't expect that they would actually wait for a full two hours.
It was this two-hour buffer that made Bill and Jose wonder who the first person Katyas and Xiao Ran would visit would be. It also gave them an illusion that Katyas had already come in contact with others. It was precisely this illusion that Katyas and Xiao Ran were hoping for. Once they brought up the matter of roping in cooperation, the two of them would reflexively think about whether or not someone had already agreed to Katyas and Xiao Ran, thus giving them psychological pressure.
Bill and Jose welcomed Xiao Ran and Katyas at the door. They looked quite friendly with warm smiles on their faces. At the beginning, they didn't mention the purpose of Katyas' visit at all. Instead, they pulled Xiao Ran and Katyas to talk about the use of the M1 heresy and the possibility of popularizing it in the Earth Federation.
Xiao Ran answered some questions for the two, but after all, he didn't come with the purpose of being polite. Since the other party didn't lead the topic to the main topic, Xiao Ran didn't have the time to waste with them. After glancing at Katyas, Katyas took out a tablet from his carry-on bag and handed it to the two of them.
At this time, Xiao Ran also spoke up, "Although it's very presumptuous, before we continue our conversation, can you please ask the surrounding people to leave?"
Jose and Bill looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Bill raised his hand and waved. Soon, a few people appeared in front of Xiao Ran and left in a hurry. As for whether there was anyone left behind, Xiao Ran didn't want to delve too deeply into it. He just said, "If there is anyone left, it should be your trusted aides. I don't think it's important to know some secrets. Then, please take a look at the information on the tablet first."
Bill picked up the tablet on the table with a smile on his face, but after taking a look at it, the smile on his face instantly stiffened. His mouth also unknowingly opened.
Jose looked at the change in expression on Bill's face. He also grabbed the tablet from Bill's hand in confusion. After looking at it, his expression was almost exactly the same as Bill's. Xiao Ran looked at the expressions of the two and smiled slightly. He said, "Before, the two of you may have doubts about me holding so many shares of the Anaheim company. Then, I wonder if the two of you have any other questions after seeing this thing? "
"Is this true!" Bill leaned forward suddenly and looked at Xiao Ran excitedly. "How can this technology appear at this time, are you sure you're not making fun of us?"
"Of course not, I can tell you with certainty. The product manufactured by relying on this technology has already begun its first experimental exploration some time ago. If you don't believe me, the Anaheim company can also build a second hyperspace jump engine. It just needs to wait for a while. "
Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "So, the two of you, I think this technology should be able to make a huge change in this world, and the future will inevitably be an era of cosmic exploration. I don't know if the two of you are willing to join in and share a share of this vast and unknown universe together?"
Bill wanted to nod, but Jose stopped him. Even though Jose had an indescribable look of excitement on his face as well. It was because he knew too well how much of a change this technology could bring to the world and how much benefits they could reap from it. However, Joss was more cautious. He wanted to know the real purpose of Xiao Ran and Katyas placing this technology on display.
Jose asked cautiously, "With this kind of technology, even if we only hold three percent of the shares, it's still a huge benefit. I want to know why you're willing to invest in Anaheim with this kind of thing, and what's your goal?"
"It's easy to talk to smart people." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I don't know what the two of you think about the explosion at the beginning of the Earth Federation."
Jose and Bill both frowned. The impact of that incident on the Federation and even the entire world was too great. Until now, there was no real conclusion about the cause of the explosion. Even if the two of them had great power in the Earth Federation, it was something that happened more than seventy years ago. At that time, they were not even born yet, and there were no more than ten people in the entire Earth Federation who knew about such a secret. It was perfectly normal that the two of them did not know.
But although the two of them did not know the real cause of that incident, they were still in a high position after all, so some information would still reach their ears. It was just that they were not so sure. And they also vaguely knew that the time of that incident seemed to be related to the Anaheim company. Otherwise, the Anaheim company would not be taken care of from the top to the bottom of the Federation.
Xiao Ran looked at the expressions of the two of them and knew that the two of them were not clear about the world at that time. After smiling, he said, "I'm afraid the two of you are not too clear about the real situation at that time, so let me explain it to the two of you."
"The time of that explosion was the day the Earth Federation officially announced its establishment. On that day, there was a document that was supposed to be published that was covered by history …"
Xiao Ran smiled and explained the explosion bit by bit in his own words and description. And with the mention of the original constitution, especially the appearance of some of the articles in the original constitution, suddenly made Bill and Jose widen their eyes. They did not know when, but there was a trace of fear in their eyes.
At this time, the two of them wished that they had never heard of this at all. They also wished that Xiao Ran and Katyas had never been here because the secret they had just learned was too heavy and too scary. One wrong move and it would implicate the entire Earth Federation, the current situation of Earth and the universe, and directly implicate their lives and the lives of their families.
Jose swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his throat moved. He used his trembling hand to light himself a cigarette. After taking a deep breath, he said in a dry and trembling voice, "Why are you telling us this? What does this have to do with you?"
"Let's put it this way. The hyperspace jump engine is one core, and the other core is the Homo Evolutis. When the Earth Federation was first established, the leaders had already predicted the emergence of the Homo Evolutis, and the emergence of the Homo Evolutis to lead a completely war-free Earth into space was a plan made a long time ago.
Therefore, at that time, preferential treatment for the inhabitants of the universe was the fundamental charter. After humans entered space, the changes in the environment would inevitably lead to human evolution. At that time, the visionary at that time realized that if the consciousness of humanity could not be unified and the war could not be ended, then even if humans set foot in space, it would only bring more war to the universe. Between humans, between humans and aliens, if humans set foot in space at that time, the scale of the war would only grow bigger and bigger, and in the end, it would only lead to the extinction of humanity.
"The emergence of the Homo Evolutis allowed these people who were speculated to have telepathy to become the bridge between humans and other life forms. In the end, they would only be led by the Homo Evolutis and unable to evolve into the old humans. Even though the concept of the Great Expansion of the Universe was not actually proposed at that time, the preferential treatment for the inhabitants of the universe mentioned in the original constitution affected the interests of many people. Therefore, an explosion occurred, causing the real Earth Federation to be controlled by a group of traitors.
"The inheritors of the real Earth Federation have been hiding in the dark, silently carrying out the plan of the visionary, until now, they have finally achieved results." Xiao Ran smiled again at the two of them and continued, "In fact, the M1 Heresy shown today is just a product of the technology developed by the inheritors after the appearance of the MS. The original design was actually not like this. It was a transformable fighter with the ability to jump through space and break through the atmosphere. However, the appearance of the MS allowed us to see the combat performance of the MS, so it was developed as a supplement."
