Chapter 499 New Deterrence Proposal
"Damn it, why is the weather in China so hot in June?"

"This is Rongcheng, the terrain of the basin, of course it should be hot..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at the weather forecast on your phone. The temperature in Rongcheng today is higher than that in the Sahara Desert!"

"...Okay, it's my problem. How the hell is it so hot?"

Piedlov and Jess, who had just walked out of the airport, were almost blown away by the oncoming heat wave. 30 hours ago, they were still blowing the humid and icy sea breeze in Northern Europe. After 30 hours, they felt as if into the stove.

"Why hasn't our driver come yet? Didn't we agree that someone will pick us up? Wait a few more minutes, I feel like I'm going to be roasted inside and out!"

Petrov took out half a cigar from his pocket violently and lit it. Jess gave him a dissatisfied look and said:
"Pay attention to your image! We are here to negotiate. If you continue to behave as rudely as you are now, then you will not participate in the next negotiation!"

"Why? We have what they want, and they have what we want. It's just an exchange. It's not that complicated..."

Piedlov spit out the blue smoke from his mouth indifferently, and then continued:
"Besides, didn't our previous cooperation go smoothly? The European headquarters of the Natural Sect was destroyed, and the list of pastoral organizations they wanted was also obtained. Shouldn't they regard us as friends?"

The two are the operatives of the Hermes organization in Europe. A few months ago, they planned a series of liquidation operations against the natural sect, and achieved shocking results.

"friend?"

Jess hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, and then continued:
"You have to remember that Huaxia people will not regard an uncontrolled organization like us as a friend. They only believe in their own strength."

"The reason why there was cooperation before is that our purpose happened to be the same as theirs."

"Afterwards, if our opinions differ, they will abandon us without hesitation, and even resort to strong methods to suppress us—they are much more terrifying than those ugly countrymen."

"But in terms of execution ability, no one can compare with them. As long as it is something they want to do, there is nothing they can't do."

Hearing what Jess said, Piedlov finally nodded in approval. After he took a deep breath of the cigar, he pressed the remaining half of the cigar on the roadside trash can, and then said:

"Well, they don't see us as friends, but we don't see them either."

"Having said that, do you think our negotiation will be successful this time? Judging from the news from Minsen, the technology we want has almost reached the strategic level."

"I always feel that exchanging this technology with them is as ridiculous as asking an ugly country for atomic bomb technology during World War II."

"It's really ridiculous, but I think they will agree—after all, what we have is no worse than the so-called 'atom bomb'."

"I doubt that."

Piedlov shook his head and said.

"Of course you will suspect that you have never used your brain to think about anything. I really don't know how you obtained your bachelor's degree. Could it be that you threatened your instructor with a gun?"

Pyedlov laughed and replied:
"You're half right."

"I did use a gun, but it wasn't a threat."

"What do you mean?"

Jess frowned.

Pyedlov cleared his throat and said:
"Hey, the principal of my school at that time was a divorced and single wife..."

"Okay, you don't have to say any more, I'm not interested in listening."

Jess noticed Pyedlov's eager expression, and resolutely stopped his showing off before he continued.

The two stood in the hot air and waited for 10 minutes. When they were about to lose patience, an ordinary-looking commercial vehicle finally stopped in front of them. Jess carefully checked the license plate number After that, he dragged Piedlov into the car, and there were already people waiting for them in the car.

This person is really Chen Hao, and the person sitting next to him is a senior intelligence officer from a certain department of the military.

After a brief introduction, Chen Hao said:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Piedlov, Mr. Jess. How are you, are you frightened by the weather in Chengdu?"

"Yes, yes, help, lower the temperature of the air conditioner, I feel like I'm about to catch fire."

Piedlov said carelessly, but in an instant, he remembered Jess' warning just now, so he retracted the hand that had been stretched out, and sat upright on the back of the chair.

"No problem at all."

Chen Hao smiled and adjusted the air volume of the air conditioner. Pyedlov on the opposite side was obviously relieved. After taking a big sip of the water handed by Chen Hao, he looked at Jess beside him, and the latter also understood. nod.

"Mr. Chen Hao, this is not the first time I've met you, and you know the purpose of our visit this time, so I think, shall we just get into the topic?"

"No problem—your style is very similar to ours, very pragmatic, which I appreciate."

"We have no choice but to be pragmatic... After all, there is not much time left for human beings. Then I will say it bluntly, what we need is the neuroelectric signal compilation algorithm in AVS technology, and related database files."

"The content of this part will be used in the neural mapping project of the Birmingham National Laboratory, and the purpose of this project is to simulate the activities of human neural networks through computers, and finally replicate the complete human thinking one by one."

"To put it simply, it is consciousness uploading."

"Where are you at now?"

Chen Hao was not surprised by the concept he mentioned, but the latter was surprised that he could understand this technology in such a short period of time, but when he saw the earphones Chen Hao was wearing, Jess had a feeling of enlightenment.

Although there were only two people sitting in front of him, there were far more than two people who actually negotiated with him.

After considering his words for a moment, he opened his mouth and replied:

"We have just achieved a breakthrough from zero to one. Neural mapping technology has been proven to be feasible, but at present we have encountered a bottleneck in computing power and need more powerful and sophisticated algorithms to support it."

Chen Hao nodded slightly, and continued to ask:
"What is your purpose? I mean, what are you trying to do with mind uploading?"

In fact, in the previous discussion, Chen Hao had already obtained conjectures about the purpose of the other party from Ye Zhou and a certain kind of professional. The most mainstream one was that there might be some kind of hidden danger in the Hermes organization. They want to use the consciousness uploading technology to store human consciousness in the computer system, so as to reduce the energy consumption demands of individual human beings and avoid the crisis of energy depletion caused by the invasion of adjacent dimensions.

But out of caution, he still wants to get a clear answer from the other side's negotiators.

As he expected, the reason given by Jess was the same as the previous judgment. After listening, Chen Hao sighed slightly.

In fact, this so-called cooperation negotiation has ended here.

Huaxia absolutely cannot allow any fugitives to exist, let alone cooperate with them.

Jess keenly noticed Chen Hao's expression, so he said bluntly:
"Mr. Chen Hao, and the real decision-maker, I know you don't agree with our solution to the problem, but it doesn't matter. It's just a difference in direction. Our ultimate goal is the same."

"From our point of view, when humanity is facing such a major crisis, we just need to explore in some different directions, and consciousness uploading is one of them."

"You can think that we are wrong, and we will not force your approval, but you should listen to our terms of exchange."

"I think this quid pro quo may change your views."

"Even if we cannot be recognized, such conditions should be enough for us to achieve a positive result in this negotiation."

"What is it?"

Chen Hao asked calmly.

Jess cleared his throat and replied:
"You know, the Ugly country's military is about to apply the latest quantum encryption technology. Under this technology, the information deterrence you previously achieved with RSA decryption technology will be completely invalid."

"In contrast, in terms of conventional military strength, there is still a considerable gap between Huaxia and Ugly Nation. If such deterrence disappears, Ugly Nation's military will enter a stage of retaliatory rebound and expansion, which is extremely detrimental to Huaxia."

"So, our condition is that we will help you achieve a new deterrence against ugly countries. The duration of this deterrence is about 18 months."

Chen Hao nodded slightly, and continued to ask:
"What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. We will disable all the nuclear weapons they have."
