Mysterious Item!

792: Chapter 792: Extremely Cunning!

Mysterious Item!

There’s a demon when things are abnormal!

The originally hostile Perrio suddenly became so enthusiastic and proactive.

How could Wu Jie not be alert?

As the saying goes, those who are unduly kind have a motive, either criminal or thievish!

Every word he said, every action he took, must have had a purpose.

So…

Wu Jie was instantly on guard.

Subconsciously, he assumed it was all a scam.

“Special things on the moon?

What exactly do you mean?”

Wu Jie frowned and asked.

Perrio glanced around, grabbed Wu Jie’s shoulder, and walked two steps into a corner.

Humanity’s successful moon landing has been recorded in textbooks as a great spacefaring feat.

It greatly spurred scientific progress, brought about a lot of technological innovation, and continues to benefit humankind today.

“That’s one small step for me, but one giant leap for mankind!”

This classic phrase from Armstrong is world-famous and still circulated to date.

So, as a science enthusiast, how could Wu Jie not know?

Perrio stopped and spoke in a low voice:

“Although some people attack the project as a sham, claiming that we never really landed on the moon!”

“They feel that the disclosed information is too scant, lacking sufficient evidence, and keeping too many secrets from the public!”

“But when several hundred thousand people are involved, and it’s broadcasted globally, not to mention watched by so many astronomy enthusiasts!”

“And as of today, with many countries launching satellites to the moon, there’s no doubt whether the landing was a hoax!”

Wu Jie frowned and asked, “Isn’t everybody’s doubt due to your cover-ups?

Did you really discover extraterrestrials, so you’re afraid to disclose?”

Perrio shook his head with a smile:

“Back then, twenty billion Gold Coins was a considerable sum of money.”

“Having invested so much manpower, material, and financial resources, why would we share and expose our scientific achievements?”

“We didn’t discover extraterrestrials, but we brought back not only moon soil and rocks but also something very special!”

Wu Jie’s eyebrows raised.

“If you didn’t find living extraterrestrials, did you find debris from their spaceship?”

Perrio still shook his head.

“We haven’t figured it out!

We don’t know if it’s alien technology, but our relentless research over the years has yielded some results, such as stealth fighter coating, high-temperature-resistant alloys, subcritical superconductors, and so on!”

Hearing this, Wu Jie became even more interested.

Ordinary people would definitely scoff at the mention of extraterrestrials.

That’s because there have always been stories about aliens over the years.

But all sorts of technological means of detection have found nothing.

The Hubble Space Telescope can observe more than ten billion light-years away, yet it hasn’t discovered extraterrestrials either!

But Wu Jie’s case was different.

After all…

being possessed by a system is even more uncanny than the tales of extraterrestrials.

Furthermore, the system is quite powerful, leading Wu Jie to suspect that it’s a super-advanced technology from a higher civilization, something that no country on Earth could develop.

Thus, the existence of the system made Wu Jie very interested in what Perrio had to say.

And what’s most important is…

There have long been rumors about extraterrestrials.

Wu Jie thought that there is no smoke without fire.

If they hadn’t found anything on the moon, why all the secrecy and reluctance to inform the world?

Hadn’t Perrio just admitted it himself?

The research on special things helped them make considerable progress in the field of materials technology.

But…

Why would they be willing to trade such good stuff for Detox Pills?

Either it had been thoroughly researched and was now worthless,

Or they couldn’t continue the research, and keeping it was of no use.

But Wu Jie preferred to believe the former, thinking it must have become a useless item, so they used it to swindle others.

Perhaps extraterrestrial civilizations exist, but they haven’t come to the Solar System, nor have they appeared on the moon.

What they found could be remnants of a meteorite that struck the moon in space.

The space environment is extremely harsh, with most areas being extremely cold and filled with radiation.

And near a glowing and heating Yellow Dwarf Star like the sun, the temperature would be extremely high.

Therefore, analyzing and researching the material composition and crystal structure of meteorites that have endured extreme cold and heat is beneficial for developing new materials resistant to radiation and high and low temperatures.

The special thing they found on the moon might not be alien spaceship debris at all.

Moreover, there are no pies falling from the sky.

Having once infuriated Perrio to the point of fainting twice, could he truly let bygones be bygones?

Even if he did, with the system in hand, why envy others?

As long as there are enough energy points, the system store has everything for sale.

Not just black technology, but even interstellar spaceships.

Therefore, the mysterious item treasured by Perrio wasn’t worth much attention.

Thinking this, Wu Jie felt relieved.

“You’re actually willing to trade such incredible stuff for Detox Pills?

Don’t you feel the slightest regret?

Aren’t you afraid that after we get it, we’ll develop some awe-inspiring black technology?”

Wu Jie asked in feigned surprise.

Perrio looked indifferent and sincerely said:

“It doesn’t matter!

We’ve been at it for decades without understanding it.

If you truly get to the bottom of it and achieve technological breakthroughs, then it’s put to good use, contributing to human development!”

Wu Jie chuckled and said, “The ancients say, a prime minister’s belly should be big enough to sail a boat!

I never expected the Secretary of State’s breadth of mind to be so vast as well!”

Perrio laughed and said, “Stop flattering me!

Let’s be frank, what do you think all those mysterious things brought back from the moon are worth in exchange for Detox Pills?”

“The moon’s…” Wu Jie furrowed his brows, “I suppose they could trade for a hundred Detox Pills!”

Ah???

Perrio exclaimed in shock.

“Only…

only a hundred pills?”

Too surprised, his voice was too loud.

Perrio instinctively looked back to see if anyone was paying attention to the two of them.

Seeing no one, he turned back and muttered in a lower voice:

“This is something brought back from the moon, and we’ve already obtained some technological achievements through researching it!”

“To me, it’s a treasure of immense value, easily worth at least a million Detox Pills, right?”

Wu Jie countered, “But you said earlier that you hadn’t thoroughly researched it.

If you don’t fully understand it, how do you know it’s so valuable?

What if it’s just a meteorite?”

“A single Detox Pill is worth at least two hundred thousand, and I’m willing to exchange a hundred for it, which is already quite generous.

After all, even if it’s just a stone from the moon, as the Secretary of State giving it to me, it would still be considered a state gift!”

Upon hearing this, Perrio was at a loss for words instantly.

“I…”

Wu Jie smiled.

“Don’t think I’m stingy.

You haven’t even told me if the thing is big or small, heavy or light, and I’ve already agreed to exchange a hundred Detox Pills for it.

That’s showing you a lot of respect already, isn’t it?”

“But I had no choice, who made our Chinese people always so polite!”

Hearing this, Perrio almost got thunderstruck.

He couldn’t help thinking to himself:

You have manners?

Last time in Liuli City, you almost made me faint twice!

If it hadn’t been for the timely rescue of the medical staff, I would’ve been a goner.

Taking a deep breath,

Perrio murmured, “That hundred pills, we have a deal then!

A large transport plane will come tomorrow carrying the first batch of artifacts to China, and we’ll hand them over together!”

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t swindle anyone but you!”

Wu Jie chuckled.

Perrio’s lips twitched into a forced smile as he walked away sullenly.

At that moment,

Zheng, who had been watching silently from a distance, sauntered over.

“What were you whispering about with that old baldie?

All secretive.”

Old baldie?

Wu Jie laughed in astonishment.

If Perrio knew he was being called an old baldie by Zheng, he’d probably be furious.

“He wants to exchange that mysterious thing they brought back from the moon for Detox Pills…”

Wu Jie briefly explained the situation.

After hearing it, Zheng laughed.

“You really did a number on him, giving him a hundred pills.

If it were me, I wouldn’t give him a single one!”

“Damn it!

There has always been a rumor that there are aliens on the dark side of the moon, and what happened?

Our country not only launched a lunar probe for a comprehensive observation but also successfully landed the Chang’e 3 lander on the lunar surface!”

“We even sent the Yutu rover to take back a lot of high-definition, true-color images of the lunar surface.

There’s nothing there but rocks and craters, where are the so-called aliens?”

“The moon has no atmosphere to protect it, so it’s often hit by space meteorites, which is why it’s full of craters.

And that mysterious thing he’s giving you, I’m certain it’s just a lump of meteorite.

You’re known as the King of Tricksters, yet you fell for this?”

However…

Wu Jie just smiled nonchalantly:

“It’s not about me being deceived—it’s about showing a little face.

After all, he’s a representative of the Star Federation, and he’s agreed to everything and even arranged a transport to send us artefacts.

We have to give him some respect, right?”

“Besides, his private talk with me made it clear this is personal business.

These hundred Detox Pills are either to be sold secretly for cash or given to his brother Hittory, for Rosdelle’s Auxiliary Business Association to reverse-engineer and make a profit!”

Zheng’s eyes widened.

“Right, you can keep your Detox Pill formula strictly confidential, but can you really prevent others from reverse engineering it?

If someone cracks it completely, what will we do then…”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes and pulled out a bottle of pills from his bag, shaking it in front of Zheng.

“It only takes three pills, but each one contains thousands of microorganisms.”

“Which ones have medicinal effects, what temperature and environment they need to grow in, how to extract and synthesize…”

“In short, there are a lot of problems to solve.

Do you still think reverse engineering is easy?”

A few words were enough to put Zheng’s mind at ease.

And Wu Jie hadn’t even mentioned the deeper layers of security.

It’s like high-tech products on the market; if someone is daring enough to sell them, they’re not afraid of reverse engineering.

Because by the time you’ve spent considerable time and resource to copy it, a better and more advanced version will already be on the market.

This is why leading tech nations focus on independent research and development.

To blindly imitate like Dong Shi only risks going from bad to worse.

…

The dinner was exceptionally lively.

After filling their bellies, Tan led the representatives from various countries to negotiate behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, Wu Jie coordinated with the different departments to refine the appraisal standards and set up the trading website.

Given the inevitable enormity of the transaction volumes in the future, this website had to be highly confidential and stable.

After working through the night, the next day’s negotiations began with internal testing and optimization.

Action is precious in war!

The global virus epidemic was rampant, with people dying every moment.

No more delays!

Therefore, by that afternoon.

The drug purchasing representatives from the thirty attending countries had signed several secret agreements.

And Watanabe Taizo, the most proactive, got a transport to deliver artefacts by four o’clock.

Soon after, one strategic transport plane after another from Yezhou Continent and Shizhoun Continent also arrived in succession.

According to the agreement, only genuine artifacts would be counted and exchanged, one for six Detox Pills.

So they would need time to receive the Detox Pills.

But Wu Jie soon laid eyes on the mysterious object from the moon…
