Faced with Archel's inquiry, Qin Shan did not answer directly but turned his gaze to Modalarhaner next to him and the other camel representatives.
After a glance at everyone around, he continued:
"The cooperation is not only for Mr. Archer, but also for the prince's honorable, and you can also participate in it..."
At the words, Modalarhaner and others felt a stir in their hearts.
Although it is not known what kind of cooperation Qin Shan mentioned, from the past interactions with Long Village, it is certain that this cooperation will be a significant project.
Thinking about the things Long Village presented before, all the camels felt a bit excited.
"Mr. Qin, just be straightforward, what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"
One of the camel representatives couldn't help but speak directly.
Hearing this, Qin Shan smiled and continued:
"This cooperation has already been made public before, and you all should know about it—it's the South Heaven Gate!"
South Heaven Gate?
Upon hearing the name, everyone present paused.
However, immediately afterward, the relevant information about South Heaven Gate involuntarily emerged in everyone's minds.
"Qin, are you saying that we can also participate in your South Heaven Gate plan?"
A moment later, with a blazing gaze, Modalarhaner spoke first.
They of course knew what the South Heaven Gate plan was; it had been released by Long Village months ago through that "retired old man."
Although this plan was once considered a deception similar to the "Star Wars" plan of the Black and White Eagles.
But over time, Long Village had already produced a large number of items related to the South Heaven Gate plan.
For example, the dual-tailed unmanned bomber!
For example, the judge drone!
For example, electromagnetic cannon, power armor and so on.
Although according to the "sci-fi" content of the South Heaven Gate released by Long Village, these weapons are just a fraction of what the South Heaven Gate is all about.
But even if these are just a few outliers, presenting them can make the whole world take notice!
Before this, Modalarhaner had already proactively wanted to join Long Village's South Heaven Gate plan.
However, Long Village had never given a definite answer.
And now, Long Village is actually inviting them to join the South Heaven Gate plan?
Facing the excited Modalarhaner, Qin Shan smiled slightly and continued:
"We have now reached a cooperation on the South Heaven Gate plan with the Polar Bear side, and we are officially inviting His Highness the Prince, Mr. Archer, and all of you present to join this plan. I wonder if you are willing?"
Inviting camels to join the South Heaven Gate plan is something that Qin Shan and Qian Zhizhong and others have already decided on, as well as the plan that has been set up above.
I had planned to find an opportunity to talk about this plan with these camels.
I didn't expect that a camel would suddenly "stage a coup" like this. So, Qin Shan directly brought out this plan.
A camel can buy missiles, but if the desert gets unstable now, it won't benefit Long Village.
Whether it's the Sand Camel or the One Camel, Long Village has a lot of interests there. It's not good to side with either party.
So Qin Shan directly put aside Archel's question and proposed the South Heaven Gate. While doing so, he also temporarily suspended the problem to attract funds for cooperation. Of course, there are other purposes besides these two: he wants to also use the South Heaven Gate to once again bind the camels together.
Three birds in one stone!
No, more accurately, it's three birds with one stone!
To some extent, this can also be seen as a warning!
Of course, it's not the hard warning of the Black and White Eagle Village, but an indirect way to tell camels that don't want to just stabilize and even haven't stabilized yet that they shouldn't immediately want to split up.
Even if they want to split up, it should be done in a certain degree, and not to cause chaos.
Otherwise, if I'm not pleased, you'll just watch others climb the South Heaven Gate...
Although the South Heaven Gate that Long Village brought out is just a name without its substance.
But even though it is a misnomer, it still includes a large number of cutting-edge technologies, even some black tech!
For example, the nuclear reactor and space elevator that were shown to the Polar Bear Village before.
So many cutting-edge technologies, who can ignore them?
With the existence of the South Heaven Gate, if the One Camel were to have other thoughts and wanted to start something else, Long Village could only fulfill the One Camel's wish.
The South Heaven Gate will always be there, and it's better for the One Camel to work with us. If the One Camel insists on going its own way, we can simply withdraw our support and let the One Camel work alone.
Long Village has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in others' internal affairs. How to choose is the One Camel's own business, and the consequences of the choice are irrelevant to Long Village, as it is the One Camel's own choice. Long Village is not a nanny or a servant, so it cannot shamelessly help others do this and that…
"Mr. Qin Shan, could you give us a detailed explanation of your South Heaven Gate plan?"
Just as Modalarhaner was about to agree to Qin Shan, another One Camel representative, Ache, suddenly opened his mouth with some uncertainty.
Hearing this, the other camel representatives beside him also looked straight at Qin Shan, waiting for his response.
They are different from Modalarhaner; they do not have blind trust in the mysterious and powerful village of Long Village. They have more reverence for it!
Facing the gaze of all the camels, Qin Shan did not beat around the bush and directly opened his mouth:
"Qin Shan, please retrieve the South Heaven Gate plan data…"
Upon hearing Qin Shan's voice, all the camels present were taken aback.
Before the others could say anything, a voice as ordinary as anyone else directly echoed in the office, "Instructions accepted, identity verification completed, permission check passed, data retrieval completed…"
At the same time, beams of azure light quickly gathered in the office.
"This is... holographic projection?"
Looking at the appearing light and the book-like thing rapidly gathering, all the camels' eyes twinkled.
They were not unfamiliar with these holographic projections. Not long ago, when Qin Shan was showing off "Tortoise Kissing," he used this technology, and strictly speaking, many of the people present had already seen this technology more than a year ago.
But back then, they saw it at Star River Technology.
That time, it was Su Heng who showed them the information about the "Origin" space station…
What the camels were concerned about was the sudden sound that just rang out, which was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.
Noticing the reaction of the group, Qin Shan said directly:
"Now, allow me to introduce you all. The person who just spoke is Aqing, an AI of Qingzhou Port."
As one of the most important blackfish ports in Long Village, after Su Heng revealed artificial intelligence, Qingzhou Port naturally already equipped with artificial intelligence.
Although it is only a level 2 AI, it is one level higher than the AI in the foreign affairs reception hall before.
Although it is only a level 2 AI, it is enough to ensure the operation of Qingzhou Port and assist in handling Qingzhou Port's affairs. As for "performing miracles in front of people," it is even more than enough!
Upon hearing what Qin Shan said, the camels shone with interest.
Especially Modalarhaner, as he looked at the virtual image before him, his eyes began to gleam with excitement.
Thoughts flashed through his mind continuously.
Beside Ache, although he wasn't as fervent as Modalarhaner, the certain ideas he originally had in his mind began to dissipate at this moment.
He had only a superficial understanding of technology, and especially so with artificial intelligence.
Even though he only knew a few scattered pieces of information, he could still judge that the artificial intelligence in front of him was no ordinary AI!
His intuition told him that if they missed this chance for cooperation now, they One Camel might suffer a heavy loss!
At this moment, Qin Shan's voice rang out again:
"Here are the general project contents of the South Heaven Gate. You can check them at your own pace. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
Speaking at the same time, the virtual model that looked like a book in front of everyone directly expanded. Followed by, dozens of identical "books" directly flew towards the crowd.
In just a moment, dozens of virtual booklets floated directly in front of the crowd.
On the virtual books, the characters were clear and legible.
These characters were not only from the Dragon Race, but also "Aqing" translated the content into camel language based on the audience present at the scene, allowing camels to read them directly.
Although most of the camels here are fluent in the Dragon Race language...
Looking at the floating booklets before them, the camels couldn't help but involuntarily show strong admiration.
The technology of artificial intelligence and holographic projection took on a deeper understanding at this moment!
Performing miracles in front of people!
The glimpse of Long Village that is currently being revealed is already very eye-catching!
At this moment, the camels even felt as if they were not facing people from the same planet, but from an advanced civilization from another star.
And they were just a group of primitives!
Thinking of this, all the camels remained silent.
After a long time, the crowd finally managed to suppress the various thoughts in their hearts and followed Qin Shan's guidance, reaching out and pointing at the virtual booklets, flipping through them like a real book.
It took more than an hour before the camels finally finished reading the contents of the booklets in front of them.
After finishing reading the contents of the booklets, the camels again fell into silence.
Especially Ache, at this moment, his heart was heavy.
After a long while, Ache couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile, and the original whimsical thoughts were completely gone.
Regional ruler?
Desert king?
After reviewing the "South Heaven Gate" plan, Ache suddenly felt that their own thoughts were absurd.
While they were still thinking about being petty rulers on the ground, Long Village's eyes were already on the space.
And according to the information revealed at the end of this document, after the completion of Phase I of the South Heaven Gate project, Long Village will launch Phase II.
And the goal of this Phase II plan is the moon, which is nearly 400,000 kilometers away from Blue Star!
Colonizing the moon!
Ache sighed again.
At this moment, he felt profoundly the gap between his own village and Long Village.
This gap, compared to when they were against the White-Black Eagle, is infinitely larger!
"Mr. Qin Shan, do you know how we can join the South Heaven Gate plan?"
Taking a deep breath, Ache suppressed his thoughts and then spoke directly.
He has made up his mind that he must join Long Village's plan no matter what.
Even if the village is not aware of this yet, he will do his utmost to convince them after he returns.
A misstep leads to a series of missteps!
Because they didn't follow the same path as Modalarhaner and embrace Long Village, their gap with the sand camels on the desert side is becoming larger and larger!
If Long Village did not intervene, with the current strength of the sand camels, they could probably push them aside with ease.
They had already missed many opportunities before. If they didn't embrace Long Village now, by the time the sand camels followed Long Village to colonize the moon, they might still be babbling on Blue Star like primitives!
Thinking of these things, Ache couldn't help but feel a little creepy…
Hearing Ache's question, Qin Shan nodded in his mind.
Until now, the purpose of Qin Shan's delaying Ache's previous question has been largely achieved.
Regardless of the disputes between these camels, at least in the short term, they will not make any more trouble.
This is undoubtedly the best news for Long Village.
A stable desert, or even a stable Blue Star, is what Long Village wants most.
As long as everything is stable, with Su Heng's help, and given time, Long Village will definitely step into space!
Walk a path of unprecedented glory!
By then, Long Village will stand once again at the top of the world, with all nations paying homage!
Thinking of that scene, even Qin Shan couldn't help but feel excited!
Fortunately, Qin Shan was no ordinary person, and he quickly suppressed his thoughts and then opened his mouth slowly in the gaze of the crowd to explain the cooperation method.
There are many ways to cooperate, but in summary, it boils down to two words—pay money!
After all, camels have no other assets besides money to participate in cooperation.
Not entirely. To be accurate, now the camels have no money at all, except for sand camels. The rest of the camels can say they only have oil left.
If it were not for the fact that oil can be refined into various fuels and chemical products, which have great utility for Long Village, the camels would even lack the last condition for cooperation...
Facing the conditions proposed by Qin Shan, all the camels were in deep thought.
Not long after, Modalarhaner spoke first:
"Qin, one trillion! We, the Sand Camels, will directly invest one trillion Long Coins equivalent in oil to join your South Heaven Gate plan!"
One trillion, this is not a small number, and it can even be considered an astronomical figure!
For an ordinary person earning 10,000 yuan per month, it would take 100 million months of work without eating or drinking, which is approximately eight million years to earn one trillion yuan!
