Judging from their behavior, the Machine Tribe are purer profit-seekers than the Ye Chamber of Commerce. They act entirely based on absolutely rational calculations. The other party's rejection was somewhat within Ye Qingxuan's expectations.

Indeed, as number 9613 said, the price of going to the Holy See of Holy Light to rescue Luo Ji is completely out of proportion to the value of Luo Ji.

Because if this matter goes wrong, it is very likely that a large-scale war will break out between the two forces, and the possible price of a war is currently incalculable.

And even if they were lucky enough to avoid the war, the cost of the operation itself, which required crossing the long void universe, would be far greater than that of Luo Ji himself.

Therefore, according to the mechanical clan's style of doing things, it is basically impossible to agree to this transaction that is losing money anyway.

Under this premise, the Machine Tribe and their Ye Chamber of Commerce have maintained a relatively close cooperative relationship, and the cooperation has been quite pleasant over the years.

It's not like Ye Qingxuan has never thought about using his authority to negotiate terms with the machine clan.

But in the end I gave up.

As mentioned before, she must have enough power to have the capital to save Luo Ji.

Under this premise, she can only be considered to have assumed power initially, and everyone from top to bottom of the Ye's Chamber of Commerce is still investigating her.

To put it bluntly, according to her current situation, if she doesn't do well, she will soon follow in Ye An's footsteps.

At this juncture, trying to negotiate terms with the machine clan just by getting that little bit, and not even having the full authority? This move seems a bit too desperate no matter how you look at it.

In this way, what Ye Qingxuan just said to No. 9613 was just a test.

While her thoughts were whirling, Ye Qingxuan was not discouraged when faced with the clearly rejected number 9613, but instead spoke out again unhurriedly...

"Sir 9613, here, I want to confirm a question."

"Ms. Ye, please ask."

"Have you activated Luo, I mean the backup consciousness number 4578?"

"This machine needs to consult a large database before answering this question. Please wait..."

At Ye's Chamber of Commerce, the signal coverage of the Machine Clan is still completely fine. At this moment, No. 9613's search of the large database also went very smoothly, and he quickly gave Ye Qingxuan an answer.

"After checking, we have not activated the backup consciousness number 4578."

"Is it convenient to tell you the reason? After all, No. 4578 has been missing for so many years."

To this, number 9613’s answer is very clear…

"According to regulations, if our mechanical clan's units are not completely confirmed to have been damaged but are missing, they have a waiting period of fifty years."

At this point, No. 9613's voice paused.

"Under this premise, the mastermind of civilization has adjusted the number of years for number 4578 and adjusted the waiting period to one hundred years."

At this time, the second half of the information mentioned by number 9613 was extremely important to Ye Qingxuan.

The missing machines have a waiting period of fifty years. Luo Ji had told her about this.

Under this premise, she still asked questions knowingly, hoping to learn the second half of the information from No. 9613.

This information is very important.

Ye Qingxuan herself knew very well that Luo Ji was a special individual of the Machinery Clan, but she didn't know whether it was recognized within the Machinery Clan.

Whether it is an object, a person, or Luo Ji, if you want to have value in a negotiation, you must first make the other party recognize this value.

If the other party does not recognize it, then this value cannot be demonstrated at all during negotiations.

And now, No. 9613's answer at this time undoubtedly told Ye Qingxuan that Luo Ji's value was recognized within their mechanical clan.

In this way, things will take a turn for the better.

Because she could seize the fact that Luo Ji was a 'special individual' and talk to the mechanical tribe!

"You have always focused on the development of science and technology. I have actually read through some of your cooperation projects recently, and I have also learned about some of your developments over the years. With all due respect, over the years, you have been very successful in the field of science and technology.

There haven’t been many substantial improvements.”

While speaking, Ye Qingxuan had quickly organized all his thoughts in his mind.

"Of course, this should not be your problem. After all, in the field of scientific and technological development, you are almost recognized to be ahead of all forces in the known universe. But this also shows whether you have reached a certain level in the field of scientific and technological development.

Is it a bottleneck or a limit?”

"Considering this, No. 4578 is very obviously a special individual. Considering your situation, I think the value of No. 4578 is extremely huge. Even if it does not allow you to usher in an opportunity for evolution, it can at least provide you with an opportunity to evolve.

A new evolutionary direction, isn't it?"

At the end of the sentence, Ye Qingxuan exhaled a long breath.

"For this point, I hope you can report this matter to your mastermind and think about it carefully."

As mentioned earlier, Ye Qingxuan never thought of the mechanical race as a group of simple robots or intelligent AI. According to Ye Qingxuan's idea, they should be more like a group of special mechanical beings.

At the same time, the existence of Luo Ji has fully proved Ye Qingxuan's idea.

Taking this into consideration, this new evolutionary direction should still be quite attractive to the mechanical race, which has not had any substantial breakthroughs in technological development for so many years.

It must be said that according to the way of thinking of the mechanical tribe, No. 9613 cannot deny the possibilities raised by Ye Qingxuan.

Finally, they accepted Ye Qingxuan's proposal and reported the matter to their mastermind.

Under this premise, the mastermind's reply came very quickly. After all, the super computing power is there. If you want to get a calculation result, it doesn't take an instant?

The final answer was within the acceptable range of Ye Qingxuan.

That is, the mechanical tribe is willing to cooperate with Ye Qingxuan's rescue plan.

To put it simply, they did not intend to do this alone and risk a complete confrontation with the Holy Light Holy See.

To arrive at this result, the mastermind of the mechanical race undoubtedly made the most rational analysis and judgment.

The first point is that they are not sure whether Luo Ji is really there. After all, all this is just Ye Qingxuan's words.

In other words, the authenticity of this intelligence information is still open to question.

They can give a certain level of trust, but they won't believe it 100%.

The second point is that even if this information is true, they cannot guarantee that Luo Ji can be rescued 100%. At the same time, the 'new evolutionary direction' proposed by Ye Qingxuan is only a possibility in the end.

Considering the cost of this action, betting on this possibility is obviously not a particularly cost-effective approach for the absolutely rational mechanical race.

The third and final point is that the known universe is now too chaotic. Out of caution, all forces are gathering forces to ensure the security of their own territories, and the machine race is certainly no exception.

At this juncture, the move of dispatching troops is risky in itself, and may even have an impact on the entire territory that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, no matter what they considered, the machine clan had no intention of handling this matter on their own.
