Chapter 10, The Alien Bamboo Pole Delivered to the Door

Ha ha ... ! ... Perfect! Everything is too perfect! Now there are no more reservations! Hmph! Da Ming, you will be my stage!

If the young prince does not believe, I can take off my clothes for you to inspect! Under the gaze of Zhu Youcong, whose eyes shone with the brilliance of copper coins, Mo Huni steeled himself and unfastened his clothing. To his surprise, his exposed chest was also made of amethyst, yet there were no visible veins or heart.

No, our body structures are different

Don't take it off, don't take it off... Amethyst is beautiful, but a crystal skull? That's a bit scary

"The body? The shadow? Then..." Zhu Youcong seemed to have grasped something, yet could not articulate it

Is there no hope? Zhu Youcong was in despair, my dear parents, why is heaven so unfair, allowing you to raise me but not giving me the opportunity to repay you properly? A child wishes to support their parents, yet they are no longer here

One thousand jin? Zhu Youcong knew that three thousand jin of helium-3 could already meet the energy needs of a large city in the future, but is this enough for interstellar travel? Doubt, serious doubt, this kid must be trying to fool me!

Forget it, it is no longer feasible to continue this extortion. However, earning these 8 million taels would be quite good! Considering their honest adherence to the rules, I will not be overly demanding. I will still inform them: "Listen carefully, on our planet, we can extract the substances you need from seawater, which we call 'tritium' and 'deuterium'. On our satellite—the Moon—there is an even better energy source, which we call helium-3! Now, in the name of the Ming Dynasty royal family, I permit you to utilize it!"

How much do you need? Delivered bamboo poles, or alien bamboo poles? How can I justify myself without negotiating? It is correct to first understand the other party's requirements before stating my own price, and Zhu Youcong, this little chubby guy, is not foolish.

Mo Huni suppressed his urgent desire to return home and continued with his responsible popular science explanation: "No, the two time and space are mutually independent. Although the fusion between time and space may occur, calculating it with your time would be a matter of tens of trillions of years in the future! At that time, all time and space will collapse into a small point and then re-split"

Now, can you tell us where we can find the energy we need? Mo Huni looked at the excited Zhu Youcong and quickly posed his question, as he feared that this little chubby guy might suddenly back out, leaving him to wait for countless years.

This is not acceptable; it also violates the rules

Hehe... no need, no need, is it a fair trade!" Putting down the burdens in his heart, Zhu Youcong smiled so broadly that his mouth almost couldn't close after making a big profit.

I want ... ...

Then I want your scientific technology

Not much! According to the weight calculation of your country, it is just one thousand jin

We will continue to search and wait until someone on your planet knows and approves our use! Mo Huni saw the bubble of hope sprouting demonic wings, ready to take flight.

Mo Huni looked at Zhu Youcong's gradually dimming eyes and continued, "In fact, your thinking was flawed from the beginning. Although the two split memories are interconnected, the faster one cannot perceive the slower one. Perhaps we can understand it this way: the slower one is the essence, while the faster one is merely a shadow! Only when your essence disappears will your shadow follow suit!" Perhaps we can understand it this way: the slower one is the essence, while the faster one is merely a shadow! Only when your essence disappears will your shadow follow suit!

"Just like that Da Vinci we encountered earlier, who traveled from the future to the present, or even to an earlier time!" Zhu Youcong patiently began to educate this extraterrestrial benefactor.

This ... .. . '' Mo Huni looked around, extended his hand to take off his gloves and said: `` Your Highness, please take a look! ''

Fool! Zhu Youcong, having laid down his burdens, sincerely despised the extraterrestrial high-intelligence being before him. After waiting for five thousand years, it still did not realize that waiting another four hundred years to casually find a primary school student would yield the answers it sought? Forget it, since it is in a hurry and seeking help, I might as well oblige, albeit reluctantly

"How is it impossible? Then tell me, what is the explanation for my existence!" Furious, this alien deceiver! The facts are right in front of us, yet they still say it's impossible?

Haha... Mo Huni suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Zhu Youcong with a gaze of pity, as if he were a child suffering from childhood dementia. Just before Zhu was about to get angry, he managed to suppress his laughter and said emphatically: "This is impossible!"

Mo Huni patiently explained to Zhu Youcong: "In fact, this question has also been posed by Da Vinci. According to our research, you humans are a very special kind of being, distinct from any other life forms we observe in the universe. Your spiritual energy is a unique biological imprint, which generally corresponds to your physical body, representing a form of cosmic positive energy. This energy possesses immense power, yet the exceedingly rare imprint splits into two parts at the moment of its inception. One part travels at superluminal speeds and pauses at a certain point in time; the other part moves at normal speed. Due to symbiosis, some individuals may possess two sets of memories. Very few people can partially merge these two sets of memories under specific conditions, but those who fail to merge will experience disorder in their imprints; even fewer will succeed, which is what you refer to as time travel."

Not possible

Do not ignore www.hetushu.com. Resisting the urge to strangle this unscrupulous merchant before him, he said fiercely: "Little Prince! As far as we know, this metal is very precious, whether in your kingdom or in other places on your planet!"

Do not panic, do not get agitated! Can we just shout out a price and expect to get paid? Right now, it is their offer! I must stay calm; only by staying calm can I negotiate more effectively and strike harder.

Yes, although the two strands of split psychic energy do not exist in the same space-time and the degree of their fusion varies depending on environmental influences, they are symbiotic, which means they can only exist simultaneously or simultaneously transform into dark energy

"Yes, it is similar to the fuel of your sun!" Mo Huni was completely exhilarated by this; this young prince before him truly lived up to the reputation of a noble from the most technologically advanced nation! He was able to mention a technical term so effortlessly. Although the terminology differed from that of his own galaxy, it seemed that there was hope for returning home!

In other words, if I have not died in this world, will I continue to exist in another world as well? Zhu Youcong seemed to understand a bit, but still felt uncertain in his heart

"First, tell me, what is this time travel about?" Zhu Youcong was eager to know the answer to this question. What if... what if this group of extraterrestrial beings could allow people to travel freely through time? Then wouldn't it be possible to bring his parents from the future as well?

I understand, but I believe that your ability to return home is the most important thing! Money is one aspect, but it is not everything I desire! Zhu Youcong's head began to grow horns.

Crossing over? Mo Huni must have never heard of this term

Thank you! Thank you, Young Prince! Mo Huni held the crooked atomic structure diagram and detailed explanation drawn by Zhu Youcong, so moved that tears were about to flow. Going home, I can finally go home!

I do not understand! Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? What on earth, is this some extraterrestrial high intelligence related to books? The more I talk about it, the more confused I become? Wait a minute, this guy is indirectly insulting me by saying I am schizophrenic

The benefits... Mo Huni quickly said: "We... we are willing to exchange the eight million taels of gold we have obtained on this planet."

"Then... if I change the history of this time and space, will it affect that side?" This was Zhu Youcong's final question. If it does, then he would truly face a difficult choice

"Supervision is no longer needed," Zhu Youcong rolled his eyes and came up with a plan, then continued, "Let me ask you, what will you do if I also do not know?"

Eight million taels of gold? Zhu Youcong's heart was about to burst with excitement, Mother! What an enormous fortune this is! Eight million taels, it stands before me like a mountain, towering in front of me... it is indeed a mountain! Moreover, it is a pure, natural, and unpolluted mountain of gold! Will I still need to worry about money in the future? Well, I will still have worries; I need to figure out how to find a place to hide such a massive mountain of gold! And it is still a pure, natural, and unpolluted mountain of gold! Will I still need to worry about money in the future? Well, I will still have worries; I need to figure out how to find a place to hide such a massive mountain of gold!

There is truly nothing left. Bound by the constraints of interstellar law, we cannot arbitrarily exploit the resources of this planet. This eight million taels of gold has been earned by all of our crew over five thousand years according to your rules!" Mo Huni wore a pained expression, almost to the point of having to strip to prove his genuine poverty

Wow, it is so sparkling, radiating a purple glow, is it made of amethyst

Gold is not important; let us discuss other conditions! After much effort, Zhu Youcong, who had finally settled his mind, began his scheme of persuasion again

"Damn it, this won't do, that won't do. Besides gold, what else do you have to offer?" Zhu Youcong was completely furious. What aliens? If you don't have this, and that violates the rules, in short, you want something but have nothing! Initially, he thought he had stumbled upon a wish-granting lamp, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was just a broken oil jar, the kind used for soy sauce!

The shameless Zhu Youcong has begun his bamboo pole scheme, exclaiming: "Well, in addition to that eight million taels of gold, I also want to be immortal like you all!"

Well, I can tell you and agree to your use of one thousand jin! But..." Zhu Youcong shifted his tone, speaking in the manner of a cunning merchant from years past: "To put it plainly, what benefits can you offer me?"

Then you may speak!

Yes, that is to say, as long as your memory does not fade, that memory will always exist. And for you humans, memory is closely tied to the physical body; only when the body is destroyed and the spiritual force can no longer find support will memory completely vanish and transform into dark energy. Mo Huni's patience is indeed commendable

Great! I am not dead! I am only eight years old! ... Then my future self ...! ... No, the Tang Yi from another timeline is still alive! I want to live on, I want to live well! Not only for my father and mother in this world, but also for my elderly parents in another timeline! I will take good care of them, and I will do my utmost to make them proud of me!

I want ... ...

But how can you make me believe that you are from outer space? God knows whether this guy has read a few books brought by some missionary and thought of this method to fool people everywhere

If only I could go to the moon to extract helium-3, I wouldn't be here chatting nonsense with you... Aren't you just bullying me? Zhu Youcong secretly rolled his eyes.

No! That would violate interstellar law; we cannot alter the course of other star systems

"It's just a thousand pounds! If the prince does not believe it, he can supervise us in extracting the fuel!" Mo Huni, fearing that his hopes of returning home would be dashed, quickly proposed a reliable solution
