"I have to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Quentinsha opened his palms and began to knead the magic formula. A strange text symbol appeared in front of its eyes in an instant. This was a text similar to the ancient Cybertronian language.
But this text contains more information and has more meaning than the ancient Cybertronian language.
Ancient Cybertronian is considered the aristocratic language of the "Transformers" universe. Civilizations that can control this language are basically high-level civilized species.
The language of the Creator's civilization comes from the ancient Cybertronian language.
Swish——! !
The unique symbol suspended in front of Quentinsha beats regularly like the melody of music, and emits bursts of faint blue light.
Quentinsha stared closely at the rune in front of her, the hand holding the hand in a fixed position. It was trying to call the higher-ups of the Creator's civilization.
'I hope those old guys aren't dead yet. ’
Quentin Shah cursed secretly in his heart, but he was extremely looking forward to hearing their voices. After all, at this juncture, it was his "natal family" who could take advantage of him.
Other high-level people of the Creator's civilization exist all year round in the prosperous areas of the universe, where the stars are shining and there are countless wonders of the universe.
Incomparably large celestial bodies distort time and space, and the bent time strings form countless "cave heavens and blessed places" dedicated to scientific research experiments of the Creator's civilization.
It is precisely because of this that sometimes the communication signals sent by Quentinsha may not be received by the higher-ups of the Creator.
But this time, the distress signal created by Quentin Shah was a special signal of the highest standard.
It has stronger penetrating power. After passing through the signal amplifiers set up by the Creator civilization throughout the universe, this signal can spread to half the distance of the universe.
Now, this is Quentin Shah's only hope.
"Reply quickly——!"
Seeing that the runes in front of her had begun to gradually dissipate, but there was still no response from the other side, Quentinsha felt anxious.
If you don't reply, it will die!
Fortunately, just a second before the runes were about to disappear, Quentinsha finally received the signal returned from the Creator Civilization.
【Quentin Shah...】
…
Three months later.
Ideal City, Wanjie Base Headquarters, Command Center.
Since the end of the battle with the bounty hunter, the progress of the integration of the "Transformers" universe has come to an end. The solar system and Cybertron have all been captured by giant companies.
The entire sphere of influence of the Milky Way is also being rapidly occupied by the expeditionary forces sent out by giant companies in the world.
Any bounty hunter or other Transformers force who disobeys the orders of the Giant Enterprises will be routinely persuaded to surrender by the Giant Enterprise Expeditionary Force and then beaten up.
Thanks to the high efficiency of neutron killing and ship-borne weapons such as the Little Doctor MD·500, the "convincing people with reason" of global giants is very effective.
On this day, Ott Cunningham urgently convened a high-level internal meeting and asked all department heads and military marshal-level generals to attend the meeting in the chamber.
Because Quentin Shah finally woke up after sleeping for three months!
In the meeting hall of the base headquarters, Ott stood on the main hall stage and looked around at the executives of giant companies present. There was a holographic screen behind her.
The character on the screen is none other than Li Ang, who has already left the Ten Thousand Realms Base and returned to the Night City headquarters.
He looked down at the many supervisors present from a distance, like the ultimate BOSS controlling everything behind the scenes.
"Everyone, now that Quentinsha has woken up, she communicated with our staff as soon as she woke up, hoping to negotiate with us as a high-level member of the Creator's civilization!"
"And the bargaining chip she offered was to use the core technology of the Creator's civilization to redeem her own freedom."
"According to what it said, it has made private contact with the higher-ups of the Creator's civilization."
Ott Cunningham got straight to the point and dropped several pieces of blockbuster news. The most important one was, of course, that Quentin Shah wanted to exchange technology with a giant company.
This is a good thing that the heads of the scientific research department can only dream of.
But when the generals of the Development Department heard this news, it was not necessarily a good thing, because Quentin Shah had already made contact with the Creator Civilization.
This means that now that Quentin Shah has the support of the Creator civilization, they will fight with the Creator because of the issue of Quentin Shah's ownership.
"Isn't it locked in a super-light suppressor? Why did it come out again and get in touch with the Creator's civilization? What's going on?"
V asked in confusion. Quentin Shah was monitored by the employees of the giant company around the clock and "slipped out" under their noses. This was somewhat beyond his imagination.
Soon, Otto gave his answer in time.
It turns out that the methods of asking for help used by Quentin Shah and Yuanshi Tianzun are relatively similar, which shows that high-level Transformers have some special communication skills.
It's a bit similar to the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission in Fantasy Immortal Cultivator.
After these days of careful investigation, engineers from the Scientific Research Department also discovered countless miniature signal amplifiers in various areas of the galaxy.
This also shows that the super-light speed communication technology of the Creator Civilization is not as advanced as the giants of the world, but through such an amplifier, it can barely achieve similar communication efficiency.
"Creator Civilization...!"
The top executives of the giant companies showed a thoughtful look. After a brief thought, Lucius Ryan took the initiative to step forward and said:
"This matter requires formal negotiation. Let me go and talk to Quentinsha!"
Lucius Ryan was the interstellar governor who had just been replaced from the 002 "Pacific Rim" universe. Now he has returned to his previous position as the mayor of Night City.
The position of the mayor of Night City seems low on the surface, but Night City is the capital of the giant companies in the universe and the most core power center!
This is completely different from other metropolitan areas. If it is replaced by an ancient official position, it would be the Jingzhao official under the feet of the emperor.
At the headquarters of Night City, Loki, a member of Leon's AI cabinet, also made suggestions one after another:
[Boss, if Quentinsha is really willing to take out some of the core technology of the Creator civilization to redeem her freedom, then we can accept it. ]
[After all, the bodies of Yuanshi Tianzun and the Emperor of the Universe are in our hands, and it can't pose any substantial threat to us. 】
Although Quentinsha was always thinking about how to destroy the earth, revive Yuanshi Tianzun, and restore the universe to the ancient times.
But fighting and killing is really not professional for Quentinsha.
The bounty hunter corps formed by it was a completely weak second-rate unit, and it was beaten to pieces before entering the solar system.
Quentinsha herself became a prisoner of the giant company.
From the beginning to the end, the price paid by the universe giant company was nothing more than the insignificant energy consumption and the cheap light spot attack.
【Loki and I have the same point of view, the premise is that Quentinsha must trade with us sincerely and come up with enough heavyweight technology. 】
AI Shiver also gave advice.
【In addition, according to the log of the scientific research department, Quentinsha also controls some advanced suspended animation technology. When it merges with metal objects, we can't detect its vital signs at all. 】
【But in this case, Quentinsha can still get in touch with the Creator civilization! 】
It turned out that during the period when Quentinsha was sleeping and pretending to be dead, the engineers of the Universal Corporation had tested Quentinsha many times, but the final results were the same.
That is, Quentinsha had no signs of life. From the outside, it looked like it had merged with the metal wreckage, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a living body.
At first, the engineers of the enterprise speculated that Quentinsha's consciousness was in its core.
But if the core is dismantled rashly, it may cause irreparable damage to Quentinsha. If Quentinsha is killed, it will be a big trouble.
[If Quentinsha keeps pretending to be dead and refuses to cooperate with us, we will not be able to establish contact with each other for a long time in the future. ]
[This is very unfavorable for our development! ]
AI Loki continued to speak.
The reason why the development speed of the Universal Corporation is so fast is mainly due to Leon's will, which is constantly pushing forward.
High efficiency and clean work have long become the beliefs of every employee of the giant company, so everyone will try to convert the harvest into practical combat power or technology points in a short time.
Letting Quentinsha leave is of course risky for the Universal Giant Company. After all, no one can guarantee whether it will come back with the Creator civilization to retaliate against the giant company.
So even if Quentinsha is to be released, all the technological knowledge on the other party must be taken away first!
After listening to the speech of the AI cabinet members, Leon nodded and gave the final conclusion to the senior executives of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base:
"Quentinsha can't be let go easily. Try to get enough information from it, especially the [Seed] technology."
After receiving the order from the supreme leader Leon, Ott Cunningham immediately arranged for people to let the Astartes warriors bring Quentinsha to the meeting hall.
They decided to have an open and honest negotiation with Quentinsha here!
On the one hand, all the people here are the backbones and senior executives of giant companies. They are all people who are nourished by power and naturally have a sense of authority of superiors.
On the other hand, it is also to put some pressure on Quentinsha so as to gain a dominant advantage in the subsequent negotiations.
Not long after, the Astartes Guards led by Mann escorted Quentinsha to the meeting room.
The members of Mann's team at that time now have their own ways out. Basically, they have risen from grassroots personnel to management in charge of one side.
And Mann is Leon's Guards Commander, controlling the most elite Guards among the Astartes warriors. These Guards are all Primal Casts that have completed the transformation operation.
They are the top warriors carefully selected from the Iron Hands Chapter, and they are also Leon's few core guards. When the Guards, whose average height exceeded 4 meters, walked behind Quentinsha fully armed, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became solemn.
At this moment, Quentinsha has transformed into a human female. She is wearing a blue robe, and runes are faintly visible on her face, which makes her look like a mysterious witch in the Middle Ages.
Facing the guards behind her and the executives of the giant company, Quentinsha is not panicked at all, and even has a sneer of disdain on her face.
As a god, she will not be fooled by such a trick.
Just three months ago, Quentin Shah received a reply from the top of the Creator. After being told that if he wanted to be saved, he must compromise with the organization and never leave the Creator's civilization again.
Due to the pressure of reality, Quentin Shah could only temporarily accept the conditions of other high-level officials of the Creator Civilization.
Disbanding your own independent studio and returning to the organization to continue being the mother of life and responsible for your own work section. Although you have lost a certain degree of freedom, it is better than being a prisoner of a giant company.
Now, the Creator civilization far away in the depths of the universe is gearing up and rushing to the solar system to prepare for Quentinsha.
But before the large forces arrive in the solar system, Quentinsha still needs to rely on it to handle its own safety and mediate with giant companies.
When they saw Quentin Shah taking the initiative to transform into a human being, the senior executives of the giant company who were still a little aggressive were at a loss for a moment.
Because facing the face of this human woman, they were really a little embarrassed to speak for a while. Quentinsha's proactive gesture of retreating made things difficult for them.
However, Otter Cunningham was unmoved. She glanced at the other party calmly, and then signaled Lucius to start negotiations.
As a top bureaucrat among the top executives of giant companies in the world, Lucius Lane is best at maintaining stability, communicating, and cooperating with people from all sides.
This was already demonstrated when he was the director of the NCPD Bureau in Watson District and acted as a backbone for Li Ang's LA company.
It is natural that he is responsible for dealing with Quentin Shah this time.
"Quentin Shah, let's stop chatting and start making deals."
Lucius did not exchange polite greetings with the other party slowly. He waved his hand and brought up a holographic screen. The screen was filled with dense technical projects.
These contents were all learned from the mouth of the natural enemy.
As a senior "archaeologist" on Cybertron, Natural Enemy naturally knows the technical knowledge of the Creator's civilization and has a high probability of mastering it.
From the advanced maintenance technology of Transformers to various magical high-level "practice skills", all of them are explained.
In addition, some of the content is technological points that engineers from giant companies guessed and figured out on their own.
Because the members of the scientific research department of the giant company in the world have no way to determine what magical technologies Quentin Shah has mastered. If they are missing, they will suffer a big loss.
So these engineers and scientific research members also took advantage of it, wrote a series of outrageous technologies, and tried to ask Quentin Shah to try it.
If these technologies are available, of course it would be best, but even if they are not, it doesn't matter.
Most of it is guesswork anyway.
Looking at the text information that appeared on the screen, even with the most advanced data processor, Quentinsha was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
After reading these outrageous requests, Quentinsha was instantly laughed out of anger. It raised its eyes and stared at Lucius, and asked in a cold and gloomy voice:
"Are you making a wish to me?"
"If you are making a wish, then according to human religious beliefs, you should enshrine me, and everyone should kowtow and worship me."
"Pray that I will reward you with these useless things."
Quentinsha looked at Lucius with undisguised contempt, these stupid monkeys are really capable of whims.
If it wasn't controlled by others now, it would really like to crush all these fragile stinky monkeys and throw them into the cold outer space like garbage.
Seeing this, Lucius just smiled indifferently. For an old bureaucrat like him, being shameless is the basic professional quality. Being humiliated doesn't matter.
Anyway, the world's giant companies control the absolute initiative in negotiations. They will first scare the other party with their big mouths, and then slowly make concessions and reduce prices. It will not be too late to get the improved version of [Seed] technology that the boss wants.
This kind of anchoring effect is quite effective whether it is business negotiations or merchants selling things.
Although the Creator's civilization is more powerful than the bounty hunter army, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. The person who is anxious now is Quentinsha, so Lucius does not have to worry about the other party not buying it.
"Quentin Shah, as far as I know, you are an ancient god who has lived for hundreds of millions of years. What you know will only be more than what is stated above."
Lucius said with a slight compliment, he was trying to get the other person's words out of his head.
As expected, Quentin Shah snorted first, and then said: "Hundreds of millions of years? Hahaha, I already exist where the universe was born!"
With just such a sentence, Lucius has learned that Quentinsha has lived for tens of billions of years, which also shows that the technological points that the other party knows must be vast.
"Let me tell you the truth, I can't provide you with so many technologies. You can only pick some important parts. I don't have other technologies."
Quentin Shah was too lazy to continue the tug of war with Lucius, and stated his bottom line straightforwardly.
Because the technical requirements put forward by global giants are really outrageous.
What kind of artificial small universe, tearing apart the dimensions of space, disrupting the strings of the dimensions of the universe... These are all unique skills of the Emperor of the Universe and Yuanshi Tianzun, how could it know!
Even if he knew it, Quentin Shah would not be able to use it, otherwise the giant company in the world would not be able to catch him.
"Okay, let's talk about this part of the technology."
Lucius smiled as if his plan had succeeded. He drew out the key technical content designated by Li Ang on the holographic screen and asked Quentin Shah to make a deal.
"Okay, let's talk about this!"
Quentin Shah looked at these very familiar technical projects and felt confident instantly, because these were all contents he was familiar with.
And these are not very core high technologies. They can only be said to be relatively important, but not the most critical technologies.
Immediately, Quentin Shah raised his finger, wrote a code on the holographic screen, and transmitted part of the technical information to the giant company's database.
This can be regarded as part of the ransom for the giant companies in the world. As for the remaining part, both parties still need to make concessions and slowly make up for it.
After receiving the technical information from Quentin Shah, Ott Cunningham immediately stepped forward to receive it and check it.
[Seed technology for making deformed metals, underlying algorithms that make machines smart, a full set of space bridge technology, star energy extraction technology...]
These technologies are relatively basic but very practical technologies, and they also meet the minimum "ransom" requirements of giant companies around the world.
"I have used human language to explain these technologies in sufficient detail. Unless you are so stupid that you are worse than a monkey, you can easily understand these contents."
Quentinsha said somewhat reluctantly.
Although it had already been mentally prepared to hand over the technology before the negotiation, when it really gave these valuable contents to the giant company.
Quentinsha felt a little tormented in her heart.
Each of these pieces of scientific and technological knowledge is one of its unique techniques, and it is the truth of the universe that has been summarized through countless experiences and experiments.
Ott Cunningham ignored Quentin Shah. She immediately asked the staff of the research department to test the information to see if it would work.
At this time, Lucius also proposed that the two sides suspend negotiations and exchanges. He set aside this gap time mainly to allow the staff of the Scientific Research Department to test the technology.
And waiting for the latest instructions from boss Li Ang.
"Quentin Shah, the negotiations between us need to be suspended for a while. We can talk about something else before the results of the experiment come out."
Lucius showed a flattering smile, but in Quentinsha's eyes, it was particularly disgusting. He frowned and responded in a cold tone:
"I have nothing to talk about with you humans."
From the bottom of his heart, Quentin Shah looks down on human beings as a civilized species.
Even if the giants in the universe are human civilizations from a parallel universe, in the eyes of gods like it, they are just monkeys who have received some kind of opportunity, and they will eventually become crowned kings.
"Aren't you curious why Transformers like the Autobots and Decepticons would rather betray their creators than firmly serve humanity?"
Lucius's casual question hit Quentinsha's heart unexpectedly, making her face instantly darker.
"Ha! There are so many civilized species created by my hands, and they don't matter. I just followed the order of Yuanshi Tianzun and let the Cybertronians act as watchdogs."
"Who would have thought that the watchdog not only failed to watch the door of the house, but also lured the wolf into the house. If I had known that these damn beasts would eat the inside and outside, I should have drowned them in the lava!"
Of course, Quentin Shah was extremely angry about the betrayal of Optimus Prime, Enemy, and Megatron, including the confinement of these Transformers.
But now it has taken a dim view.
As long as they can leave here safely, these Transformers can do whatever they like. Anyway, I will have the means to create a group of guards loyal to myself in the future.
"Quentin Shah, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of our giant company in the world."
Lucius still smiled at Quentinsha without changing his expression. Although there was a sense of sullenness in his heart, he still had to remain calm enough when dealing with this special god.
Just now, the boss Li Ang had already told him that Quentin Shah was a "big customer"!
"The purpose and philosophy of our giant company is equal exchange. No matter whether you are strong or weak, as long as you contribute your own value to the giant company, you will receive sufficient returns."
"Of course, most of the time, the conditions we offer to the strong are one point of investment and two points of reward."
Lucius feels like he is now a salesperson promoting blue chip stocks.
But the reason why the world's giants have been able to rapidly develop into the current large-scale system is because of countless "sales" like him.
Relying on deception and hype concepts, they crazily promote the technological development of giant companies, increase productivity and then pay dividends to attract more investors.
In less than a hundred years, an indigenous civilization has been rushed to a super civilization close to the high level. This growth potential is completely soaring into the sky!
