Chapter 201 Formal Dialogue (Part 2)
The meeting officially begins!
Le Xiao swallowed and looked at a place with a lot of pillars in front of her, which looked like a palace in a movie. At the end of the bottom, there was a staircase leading up. On the staircase was a luxurious throne, which was inlaid with gems of various colors. The whole throne was shining with gold.
On the throne sat a slightly old woman wearing a gorgeous dark fluffy skirt with many ornaments and golden lines. The large and eye-catching emerald green gem on her chest was particularly eye-catching. She was the queen of Asgard, Katerina. She exuded a noble aura, and her eyes looked very clear. Even at her age, she was still elegant.
On both sides of the stairs, there were two chairs with sharp blade patterns, and two middle-aged men stood next to the chairs. The man on the left, with slightly curly hair, a smile on his face and glasses, was named Nigel. He was the general of the Second Army of Asgard.
On the right stood a man with a firm face and strong body. His eyes were very sharp. His name was Helt, and he was a general of the Third Army.
Both of them wore military uniforms with red background, blue edges and many ornaments.
On both sides of the hall, there were people wearing gorgeous clothes and some people wearing suits. They were the founders and nobles of Asgard.
Le Xiao stood up slightly, and at this time, Katerina on the opposite side also stood up, and both bowed slightly.
"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty, my name is Le Xiao, the secretary of the 13th Miscellaneous Affairs Department of Brilliant City, and the acting section chief, Le Xiao!"
"Hello! Your Excellency Le Xiao, I am very happy to have such a formal meeting."
Le Xiao smiled happily, but she felt the pressure. The directors behind her bowed slightly in unison, and then sat down. Le Xiao also sat down, and she sat on a high platform.
"I wonder what the section chiefs of other sections are like?"
Le Xiao answered immediately.
"They are all busy with work in the city. Recently, the city has started a new round of construction, so this meeting is in charge of our 13th department."
Looking at the pairs of eyes on the screen looking at this side, Le Xiao felt a little pressured, and Katerina smiled and nodded.
"Sir Le Xiao, I heard that your Brilliant City is a parliamentary system, but it is also a dictatorship. We are not very clear. Can you please help us solve the confusion?"
Le Xiao nodded immediately and began to talk about the system of the Acting Department, the parliamentary system, and the parliamentary system after the combination of the two. The other party seemed to listen very seriously.
At this time, in the next room, Mo Xiaolan laughed.
"This woman looks like a tough character. After all, as a woman, even if she can control the core of the country, she must have some means to maintain the normal operation of the country."
Niya yawned and laughed.
"Isn't it just a 51-year-old girl! Who here has lived less years than her?"
King Xue looked at Katerina thoughtfully. The conversation was normal at the beginning, but it was hard to say what would happen next.
"So that's how it is. It's a complicated system. Thank you for your help, Lord Le Xiao. I have a question for you. It may be impolite. Please forgive my impoliteness."
Katerina in the camera stood up and bowed slightly, Le Xiao said hurriedly.
"Ask, Your Majesty. It's not impolite."
Le Xiao scratched his head with a smile, and Mo Xiaolan laughed and pointed at the screen.
"See, they are beginning to doubt. After all, this girl doesn't look like a high-ranking person."
Ivy smiled.
"Indeed, this child looks like an ordinary girl that can be seen everywhere on the street."
Leona nodded in agreement.
"That's how it should be. In front of these guys, we are at least grandparents. There is an old saying that ginger is still spicy!"
Katerina spoke.
"Looking at Your Excellency Le Xiao who is so young and in a high position, although it is a bit rude to ask a woman's age, I wonder how old Your Excellency Le Xiao is this year?"
"26 years old!"
As soon as Le Xiao answered, the people in Asgard on the screen seemed extremely shocked, and the two generals beside Katerina were also very surprised.
"The main topic is coming."
As Mo Xiaolan said, everyone in the meeting room put away their smiles, and even Wu Qun, who always smiled, became serious.
"He will probably ask about the average age."
As soon as Wu Qun finished speaking, Katerina asked.
"Your Excellency Le Xiao, what is the average age of your Brilliant City? We are very interested in this, after all, we are now entering an aging society."
Le Xiao immediately adjusted the light and shadow screen and quickly found the average age.
"The average age of our Brilliant City is 78 years old."
Katerina stared at it for a while, and then said happily.
"It's really incredible, this has exceeded the normal life span of humans."
Le Xiao said directly without thinking too much.
"Yes, the citizens of our Brilliant City will be vaccinated with a longevity vaccine before the age of ten. This vaccine can extend our lifespan."
"That's amazing. May I ask how long it can be extended, Lord Le Xiao?"
Jin lit a cigarette and looked at the people of Asgard quietly. They all showed uncontrollable excitement in their eyes, and some even laughed.
"It can probably reach 150 to 200, but I heard that there are longer ones, and mutants will be even longer."
Le Xiao's speech completely shocked everyone in Asgard. Mo Xiaolan observed Katerina's micro-expression, she was suppressing the ecstasy in her heart at this moment.
"This little girl seems to want to get the longevity vaccine very much. The other guys are the same. What do you think?"
Tianhen smiled and said.
"If it's a normal exchange of technology, I don't think it's necessary. After all, neither of us is sincere, right?"
Tianhen glanced at several gods, and Deguna nodded.
Gukan
"This kind of exchange is completely unnecessary. In view of their previous attitude, one thing can be made clear. After these guys gradually understood some of the situation, they were already considering war. They gave me the feeling that war has no impact on For them, it’s easy.”
Deguna's words made everyone present involuntarily nod. After all, judging from their past conversation records with Brilliant City, they are absolutely confident in the strength of their country.
The world is like this. When you have strong power, it is difficult to talk fairly with the weak.
Katerina was very excited to see her, but she stopped asking about lifespan, and instead asked about other things.
"Thank you, Mr. Lexiao, for your answer. As you can see, our country lives in space and has 80 space stations, but its population is only 3 million."
Le Xiao hummed. At this time, several guards on the screen came over and pulled out a crystal-like panel. It looked like a screen. At this time, some split images appeared on the other side of the screen, which was vast. A space station floating outside the earth in the universe.
Every space station looked extremely huge. There were many spaceships moving slowly in the black starry sky. Le Xiao could not believe her eyes. At this time, the screen came to a space station. The people on it were all wearing special clothes. The same outfit as the photo shoot.
Nigel on Katerina's side explained that their space station is different from the space stations built by humans in the past. Each space station can be understood as a large spaceship.
Le Xiao looked at this round cake-shaped space station with a black hemisphere underneath, and became interested.
"What is this thing below for?"
"Your Excellency Le Xiao, in addition to collecting solar energy, this cover can also block light and make the space distinguish between day and night."
Le Xiao felt that it was completely different from what she saw in science fiction movies. It should be floating in space, so she asked again.
Nigel bluntly said that every space station has a directional gravity system, and the clothes everyone wears are related to the gravity system. Le Xiao still wanted to ask, but at this time, she thought of what King Xue said before, when asking questions, stop clicking. She held back when it came to things like the principles of technology.
At this time Nigel asked.
"By the way, Lord Le Xiao, I heard that you have a vast agricultural base, right?"
Le Xiao nodded and immediately started talking about the agricultural base. Immediately, the 10th Section personnel here sent over the video images they had already produced. Images appeared on the other party's crystal screen. Many people looked envious. Looking at such a vast agricultural base.
"There's even meat!"
Nigel said in astonishment, Le Xiao also bluntly said that because it uses biological proliferation technology, all meat is only a part of the animal, there is no complete animal, including common products such as beef and eggs, which are also synthesized using corresponding cell proliferation. , and the crops also use biotechnology, and can reach up to five crops a year.
Lexiao's words seemed to completely subvert the concepts of Asgardians. Katerina licked her lips and said with a smile.
"We haven't eaten meat in two hundred years."
Le Xiao looked at them in shock, but then she thought it was right. It would be good to survive in space. How could she get meat?
"We are all vegetarians and only use some cultivated crops that can meet all the needs of the human body as our staple food."
Nigel immediately added, and Le Xiao nodded hurriedly.
Noticing Katerina's micro-expression at this time, Mo Xiaolan thought for a moment and then said.
"Judging from the look on her face, meat should not be out of reach, at least they have seen it, but maybe for some reason, they can't eat the meat."
Regardless of whether Mo Xiaolan's inference was correct or not, everyone felt that something was wrong with the people on the screen when it came to talking about food, especially meat.
After that, the two sides began to focus on some situations in their respective cities. After playing the video, they began to explain. Le Xiao seriously talked about some of the current situation of Brilliant City, as well as some novel technologies and so on.
"Your Majesty the Queen, we have prepared some movies and TV series filmed in the city's film and television areas. We hope they can be used as a first meeting gift."
Le Xiao said, Katerina nodded to express her gratitude, and people in Section 10 immediately started transmitting these videos.
The whole meeting was very pleasant. It was already 5 p.m., and the formal meeting at noon was over, and the meeting would resume at 8 p.m. After the two parties said goodbye, as soon as the screen turned black, Le Xiao leaned back in her chair comfortably. Go up, behind you are the discussions of the directors.
"They are quite friendly!"
Le Xiao muttered, and Wu Lei came forward.
"That's not necessarily true."
"where?"
Wu Lei just smiled and said nothing, because he saw many people on the screen whispering while they were talking, and they were all laughing. Wu Lei could probably guess what these people were thinking, because from the past conversation records with Asgard, they valued the lifespan vaccine the most.
And how did they know that the lifespan of people in Brilliant City was much longer than the actual lifespan? Wu Lei couldn't figure it out, but he didn't plan to think about it, after all, this should be a secret known only to the top.
Le Xiao felt very hungry now, and she wanted to ask Michelle if she could eat now. Seeing Le Xiao's motive, Wu Lei hurriedly stood up and said.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs to eat, and you can rest until 8 o'clock after dinner. Lady Michelle is very busy today, and she has already said it in advance."
Le Xiao happily pulled Wu Lei.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Have a drink with me."
Wu Lei was helpless, and was dragged out of the room by Le Xiao. The directors present also went to the cafeteria. They were all selected from various departments. Under the leadership of Le Xiao, they would form a diplomatic team specifically for the Sky Space Country.
"Wow, so many delicious foods?"
As soon as Le Xiao went downstairs, she saw a lot of delicious food. Wu Lei greeted the directors and directly brought out a big table. Then everyone started to take food, and Le Xiao planned to buy wine.
"You sit down, I'll get it, it's ready."
Wu Lei looked at Le Xiao's excited look, she looked really happy.
After all, it's really happy to know such things. The key lies in when to announce it to the public. Wu Lei feels that it must be done some time in advance, but he can only wait until the formal talks with Asgard are over in the past few days before he can start to announce some things to the public.
There are still too many things to do in the future, especially when the people from Asgard come down, they will definitely not be honest. They will definitely try their best to get something.
Wu Lei has received Locke's instructions. He is responsible for this aspect of the work. Wu Lei is helpless now. He plans to go home tonight and discuss it with his father. After all, this is the first time he has done this kind of thing.
Soon Wu Lei came to a storage room and went downstairs with a large box of wine. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Le Xiao and a group of directors laughing and laughing. Wu Lei sighed.
"Everyone, have a good drink."
Le Xiao directly took a bottle of wine and poured himself a large glass. Thinking that there were still 3 hours left, it would be okay to drink more.
At this time, in another conference room on the top floor, Mo Xiaolan had given the video to the lip reading experts of the 2nd Department. Everyone was waiting for them to analyze and roughly translate what the people whispering in the video said.
"It should be very fast. All the experts are here."
