Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 662 A Letter from Da Xia to Kona

Inside the command center, many staff officers realized what was happening, their eyes lighting up.

The Kona civilization's technology is indeed more advanced, but it's on the verge of collapse.

Daxia Technology has many shortcomings.

But Great Xia has Lin Mo, the Terra Alliance, the ability to project power through the demon wormhole, and the special cards of magic and antimatter.

In this transaction, Great Xia was not the one begging.

Daxia was the last lifeline that the Kona civilization could grasp.

The potential for premium pricing here is huge!

Qian Zhenhua continued:

"We can choose the tasks they give us."

"If the compensation is right and the costs are controllable, I'll take it."

"If the pay is too low and the risk is too high, I won't take the job. If the other party is in a hurry, they will definitely raise the price."

"This way, we can avoid disputes over technology valuations and bring out our true strengths."

Han Niba remained silent for a moment, then picked up a pen and drew a line on the second item in the document.

"Computing power settlement will be temporarily removed."

Qian Zhenhua nodded: "That's my opinion too."

Han Niba pushed the document back:

"Integrate gold settlement and task-based settlement into electronic files."

"A catalog of tradable technologies and materials of Great Xia is also attached."

"The magic and rune system only lists the finished products, not the underlying principles."

"We don't have many Fruits of Life and Holy Water, so there are quantity limits."

Qian Zhenhua's expression turned solemn:

"clear."

Han Ni is domineering:

"Prepare the manuscript, confirm it, and send it to the Kona civilization. Let the Watchers choose for themselves."

"yes!"

The information desk quickly sprang into action.

When Han Niba received the final draft, the electronic clock in the Tian Shu Command Center had just ticked past nine in the morning.

This reply marked the first time that the Great Xia Dynasty, in a formal capacity, made an offer to the Kona civilization, located three thousand light-years away.

No one spoke around the conference table.

Because everyone knows that this is not an ordinary diplomatic document, but a framework for a civilizational exchange.

Qian Zhenhua stood beside the table and said:

"General Han, we've condensed our entire technology list, requirements list, task-based framework, and gold settlement framework into this package."

Han Niba did not immediately turn the page, but asked:

"What about magic and runes?"

Qian Zhenhua immediately said:

"Yes, but only the finished products are listed."

"Rune modules, magic scrolls, holy water, life fruits, enchanted equipment, etc. are all classified as special resources and will not be explained systematically."

"At the same time, because of these things, we need to reveal the existence of the Terra civilization to the other party, and at the same time increase credibility and prove that we have experience in cooperating with other civilizations."

Magic and runes are among the few variables in Great Xia that can cause Kona's technology tree to lose its experience advantage.

As for revealing Terra's existence, Han Niba thought about it and had no objection.

This point is impossible to hide during the transaction, so it's better to state it clearly from the beginning to increase credibility.

He flipped through the documents.

The first page contains the official text sent to the Kona civilization.

[To the civilization of Kona, the guardians.]

This is the Great Xia civilization of Blue Star.

We have received your first formal reply, confirming your current state of civilization, state of war, and intention to cooperate.

First, we confirm that the Demon Race is a common enemy of Great Xia, Terra, and Kona.

Therefore, the Great Xia is willing to establish a limited cooperative relationship of mutual trust with the Kona civilization, share necessary war intelligence, and conduct exchanges of technology, resources, and military missions.

Han Niba stopped pointing when he saw this.

He looked up at Qian Zhenhua:

"Limited mutual trust—are those four words still used?"

Qian Zhenhua nodded: "It must be retained."

"Kona is a powerful AI, so it's best not to beat around the bush."

"Besides, even if we say we have absolute trust, the other party is unlikely to believe us!"

Han Niba nodded.

Cooperation between civilizations cannot rely on passion, much less on a few nice words.

Clearly defining the boundaries demonstrates sincerity.

He continued reading.

[Given the differences between the two sides in language, technological systems, social structures, and information security, we recommend establishing a communication security protocol.]

[First, initial communication between the two parties will only utilize low-bandwidth electromagnetic broadcasting and physical media relay; no direct network connection will be established.]

Second, all data exchanged between the two parties must be broken down into verifiable segments to prevent the original data packets from directly entering the other party's core system.

Third, any program, model, algorithm, or intelligent agent capable of autonomous operation must not be transmitted without permission.

Fourth, military intelligence, technical data, and coordinate information should be exchanged in a tiered manner, and a phased delivery model may be adopted upon completion of the mission if necessary.

On the information security side, a technical officer nodded and whispered:

"This is well written."

The staff officer next to him glanced at him.

The technical officer explained:

"For strong artificial intelligence, the rules need to be clearly defined so that it can better calculate the risks and boundaries of cooperation."

Han Niba heard this and agreed with the assessment.

Watchers are not human. When dealing with such beings, the clearer the rules are, the fewer misjudgments there will be.

The real core information is in the next section of the document.

Regarding the transaction framework, we propose two basic options.

First, resource settlement.

If you recognize the industrial value of gold, both parties can establish a resource value system based on gold as the reference unit for the exchange of low-risk, low-sensitivity technologies and materials.

Second, task-based settlement.

[You may specify your military missions, including but not limited to destroying wormhole anchor points, attacking demonic gathering areas, assisting in the defense of key facilities, delivering special weapons, and rescuing your core industrial nodes.]

We will conduct an assessment based on mission risks, deployment distance, troop consumption, weapon costs, consequences of failure, and strategic gains.

[If both parties confirm the value of the task, upon completion of the task, your party will pay corresponding technological data, industrial resources, gold, or other equivalent compensation.]

Han Niba tapped his finger lightly on the table.

This is what he values ​​most.

The Konna civilization was more advanced than the Bactrian civilization.

Kokona is dying.

No matter how advanced its technology is, it cannot break through the demon encirclement in front of it.

The Great Xia possesses the ability to interfere with the battlefield through the Demon Clan's wormholes, and it has Lin Mo, the Terra Alliance, and a group of special forces that do not belong to the Kona technology tree.

In this transaction, Da Xia was the one in control.

Every intervention as reinforcements must come at a clear cost.

Han Niba continued reading.

[The current technological needs of Daxia are as follows: 1. Planetary-level automated industrial system architecture.]

[II. Design and manufacturing technology of heavy engineering robots.]

[Third, basic shipborne shield generator technology.]

[IV. High-strength heat-resistant alloys and deep-space radiation-resistant material systems.]

[5. Quantum computing and quantum communication technologies.]

Sixth, Artificial Intelligence Technology.

7. Ecological Transformation Plan for Colonized Planets.

Based on the above information, please submit a preliminary list of executable tasks and corresponding compensation.

If you agree, we suggest starting with a small-scale trial to validate the collaboration.

[The Great Xia can prioritize tasks such as destroying individual spatial wormhole anchor points, striking localized demonic gathering areas, and testing the effects of special weapons.]

Please note that we are currently also engaged in a war against the demonic invasion and cannot guarantee unlimited military support.

I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.
