I don't have a system but I have a hammer

Chapter 1508, old acquaintance

[After hearing my answer, everyone’s attitude became a little more enthusiastic than before. Not only did they praise the meticulousness and grandeur of the plan, but they also kept boasting about their achievements since the end of the world, obviously hoping to succeed in the future. In the expedition plan, I got a prestigious job...]

[Only Xiaohong and a few senior members of the Wolf Head Gang have maintained a silent posture, seemingly not wanting to blend into this united atmosphere...]

"Mr. Mu Liang'er!"

[While everyone was recommending themselves, a middle-aged man with a shaved head suddenly stood up...]

"I have another question to ask..."

[With his indifferent eyes, a poker face covered with scars that should not be approached by strangers, and an electronic cigarette with peeling paint in his mouth, he seemed to be a tough and ruthless character, and the first sentence he spoke , happened to prove this point...]

"Since it is an expeditionary force, those who go out should be strong young people and middle-aged people in their prime, right? So can I understand that in the end, all the people left on the earth will be old people? Weak women and children? Or let me put it another way, are we exchanging the lives of old, weak women and children for so-called resources, technology, and the favor of aliens?"

"No, you forgot something..."

[Seeing that there seemed to be some intention of speaking out for the weak in his words, I pointed to myself with a nonchalant expression...]

"And the continuation of humanity!"

"Abandon your own kind and live on your own..."

[Scarface's eyes flashed coldly, and he asked...]

"Can it be considered a human being?"

"This friend seems a little extreme..."

[Seeing the thorn in his words, an old man in a crisp suit came out with a smile to smooth things over...]

"That's right, Mr. Mu Liang'er didn't say to abandon the remaining people, he just let them stay on the earth. If you are afraid of danger, you can stay underground. What do you need to worry about when you have food and drink? Besides, who We all know that the ones who are in danger are always those who go out, and the ones who are left behind are not..."

"So you mean you are willing to stay?"

[While interrupting, Scarface took a puff of his e-cigarette and added playfully...]

"Or...are you just talking?"

"This... hehe..."

[The straight man's face froze, and he glanced at me subconsciously. Seeing that I had no intention of helping him, he could only smile awkwardly and explain stiffly...]

"If Mr. Mu Liang'er asks me to stay, then I will definitely be willing to stay. The key point still depends on..."

"Okay, everyone, sit down..."

[I waved for everyone to sit down, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. Facing everyone's surprised eyes, I threw it to Scarface, the only one who didn't sit down. I lit another cigarette and put it on the seat. I leaned on him and started puffing away...]

"Tell me what you think..."

"I can say it, but I'm afraid you won't be happy..."

"Does it matter whether I'm happy or not?"

[Actually, I have just realized who this scar-faced person is. He is one of the few old friends of Er Er on Earth. He has an afro. It’s just because he shaved off his hair and lost a lot of weight. So I didn't recognize it immediately, but judging from his cold tone and his indifferent attitude towards me, his personality seemed to have changed a lot. I don't know what he has experienced in this year...]

"What's important is...whether what you said is helpful to the moment. After all, everyone's time is very precious..."

"Okay, then I won't waste everyone's time..."

[The explosive scalp grinned with a smile, but the tone still sounded cold...]

"Although the purpose of your so-called expeditionary force is to obtain resources from the wild planet and establish a trade team between various civilizations, according to my understanding, the expeditionary force is more like colonists..."

"Because none of us can guarantee whether there are primitive intelligent creatures on the wild planet. Suppose we really encounter primitive people like human ancestors, or primitive groups that have begun to take shape in social forms, and the detected resource mines And we happen to be in their territory, and they will definitely raise weapons against us to protect their homeland, so what should we do at this time? Kill or not?"

[He turned his head and glanced at the other people with complicated expressions, then looked at me again with an expressionless face, and asked...]

"Is this the real reason why you named this so-called mining team the Expeditionary Force?"

"interesting…"

[Glancing at the people with subtle expressions, I took a sip of tea with a calm face, but in my heart I felt difficult because what the afro just said was actually known to everyone present. It was just a tacit choice made by everyone. To avoid talking about it, after all, putting some words on the table is tantamount to slapping the speaker in the face, which is called... not giving face! 】

[But even so, after a short period of thinking, I gave what I thought was a reasonable explanation...]

"Everyone has the same purpose, which is to protect human beings. But protecting human beings requires costs, weapons, and powerful technology to support them. Who will give us these things? Either develop them ourselves, or get them from others. Grab it from your hand, or exchange it from someone else's hand..."

"The former takes time, and the latter requires being a bandit, so the latter is undoubtedly the most suitable plan for us. However, during the implementation process, we may indeed encounter the aboriginal people you mentioned, but this is not a problem at all in my eyes. , but a choice that must be made, you see..."

[I spread my left and right hands...]

"On one side, you are grabbing resources from the ignorant and uncivilized savages, and on the other side, you are grabbing technology from advanced civilizations. I believe this is a multiple-choice question that even an adult would do, right? But I know that this behavior is tantamount to Invasion, so I thought of a compromise..."

[After speaking, I took out a box of AC algae from my pocket and explained its function to everyone...]

"What is contained in the box is an auxiliary communication tool commonly used by aliens, called communication algae. Its main function is to allow two intelligent civilizations with different languages ​​to communicate without barriers in a limited time, so..."

[Facing the curious eyes of everyone, I pushed the algae in front of my afro, nodded and smiled...]

"My idea is that since you love peace, it is better for you to serve as the diplomatic envoy of the expeditionary force. In the future, all matters that need to be negotiated with foreign tribes will be left to you. If you can obtain the consent of the indigenous people, such as Establish mining bases on their homes, such as leasing land, or exchanging minerals for earth specialties, etc..."

"As long as you can negotiate any of the above cooperation matters with the indigenous people, I can guarantee not to take forceful measures against them. This is already my biggest concession, and it is based on... you and I are old acquaintances! "
