Chapter 674: From the Company's Overtures - Mechanical Cuckoo Clock
Chapter 674: A Show of Goodwill from the Company - Mechanical Cuckoo Clock
"Then everyone..." Dongfang Qixing's expression was slightly bitter, "The way we deal with the intelligent machines needs to be changed."
“That’s true.” The director whose hometown was destroyed by the intelligent machines sighed, “If a genius really has malicious intentions towards the company…”
“I can’t imagine the toll this would take on the company.”
"That's true." Another director said seriously, "If the geniuses work together with ordinary people, they may create a huge force that is no less than the size of the company."
"Although this description is a bit exaggerated, it does not mean that it is impossible."
"Now there are countless advanced civilizations in the universe who want to cooperate with geniuses..."
“We can’t let them achieve their goals.”
"Even if we cannot cooperate with this new genius, we cannot arouse his ill will."
Hearing what the directors around him said, Dongfang Qixing nodded and said, "In that case, let's change our original plan."
"Send a letter of greeting to the mechanical noble of Screw Star, Screw Gumm I, and... send our best diplomatic team to Screw Star to show the company's sincerity and friendship."
Dongfang Qixing looked at the directors present with a firm gaze, trying to gain more support and recognition from their eyes.
"We need to let the genius Screwgum know that the Interstellar Peace Company has absolute respect and willingness to cooperate with his people."
"But, Director Dongfang, how can we ensure that this Screw Gumm won't be wary of us? After all, we have planned to clear out the intelligent machines before." A director wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised his doubts. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if keeping the beat for his worries.
"This is the time to test our diplomatic team." Dongfang Qixing frowned slightly and said after thinking for a moment.
"We need to prepare a detailed plan to explain our new plan for the future development of intelligent machines to the mechanical nobles of Screw Star, emphasizing that our goal is not to destroy them, but to establish a safe and controllable development model so that intelligent machines and organic life forms can coexist harmoniously."
"But what if they don't believe us?" another director asked immediately, with a hint of urgency in his tone, and he was obviously worried about the outcome of this diplomatic action.
"Then let's prove it with practical actions." A hint of determination flashed in Dongfang Qixing's eyes.
"Before the diplomatic team leaves, we will suspend all restrictions on intelligent machines, at least in the star field around Screw Star, to show our sincerity. At the same time, we can promise to provide certain resource support to Screw Star to help them develop technology and civilization."
At this time, a director who had been silent all this time finally spoke up: "Director Dongfang, will this make other civilizations think that we are too soft on the omnics? Especially those civilizations that suffered greatly in the Emperor's War. They may be dissatisfied with our decision."
Dongfang Qixing took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is indeed a question that needs to be considered. But we must weigh the pros and cons. The potential of a genius is endless."
"If we can establish a good cooperative relationship with ScrewGum, not only can we avoid a possible crisis, but we may also gain huge benefits."
"…As for the views of other civilizations, we can communicate and explain through diplomatic channels, emphasizing that we are doing this for the overall peace and development of the galaxy."
"Besides, when the time comes, their opinions won't matter much."
"Any genius is many times more important than an entire advanced civilization."
After a heated discussion, the board finally reached a consensus.
A diplomatic team was quickly formed. They carefully prepared a gift - a mechanical cuckoo clock as a sign of friendship, and set out on a journey to Screw Star.
……
Some geniuses are valued by the company, so for this reason, they are willing to give up changes targeting the intelligent machine group.
Some geniuses are wanted by the universe and become notorious interstellar wanted criminals.
The original doctor of Genius Club 64 has now become one of the company's most wanted criminals due to his numerous evil deeds.
And he was very lucky to be put on the wanted list of the original domain by a certain elemental life.
And some bored guy happened to notice the wanted poster of Dr. Primal.
In the Star Palace, the bored Turanhava wanted to go out for a walk, and happened to notice something on the star vein network - a wanted order!
"Oh?" Turanhava's eyes flashed with interest, "I didn't expect that there is a wanted order here?"
"oi! Desales, do you want to come over and take a look?"
He looked at Desales who was working not far away and greeted him.
"Get out!" Desales raised his head, stared at Turanhava, the lazy fish, and said concisely.
Then he once again immersed himself in the misery of his work.
"Okay! Big brother, you just take care of yourself first~" Turanhava responded cheerfully, then walked out of DeSales' office and came to Remus' door.
He was not surprised at DeSales' response. After all, he had handed his work over to the other party and then went out for a walk.
This unethical behavior made him always feel insecure when facing Desaleres.
But there was nothing he could do. The documents piled up like a mountain and he felt dizzy just by looking at them.
He had contracted a disease that would cause him to die suddenly on the spot if he did any serious work.
Boom boom boom!
As the knock on the door sounded, a voice came from behind the door.
"Turanhava, if you have nothing to do, get out of here nice and smooth. We still have work to do. If you come and bother me again, come and do my job instead."
As soon as these words were spoken, Turanhava's expression changed, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant, contrary to his usual behavior.
It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.
Fishing, traveling, and wandering around the world are the only elements that make up his life.
As for helping the other person with work or something...
Unless he goes crazy one day, it is impossible.
You have to know that even in the continent of Teyvat, he has never done a proper job.
All his work is handled by his wife, Kayla.
Since having Kayla, he felt that he was immersed in happiness every day.
He just had to pay his taxes occasionally at night, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But now it’s different. Keira is not around and the work is left to Desales. What should he do?
He doesn't have to do anything!
Cool!
