Chapter 414 - 407: Chinese Mecha, Li Tang Recommends Himself
Li Tang had seen through it. That woman, Jin Yina, he couldn’t tell how much brainwashing potion she had been fed. Her mind was filled with those biologically uncomfortable views like "For Earth Civilization, I am willing to sacrifice myself," and "Sacrificing myself for the happiness of all mankind."
After just a few words, Li Tang found that Jin Yina was now like a crazed believer. With just one word from Ma Ran, she would immediately commit suicide, dragging Li Tang down with her!
Resistance was impossible.
His life was in their hands, and even the power had been transferred to Adam. Now he could only take it step by step.
"Not bad."
Ma Ran lifted his gaze and gave Li Tang a faint look, then turned his attention to Adam: "It’s your turn."
The Third Prince of Chuanke, Adam, swallowed and immediately said: "I have completely taken control of Seventh Sister’s fleet."
"The warship recorders documented all our experiences after arriving on Earth."
"I spent some time doing some editing, reducing the parts involving you and the Martial God, the Profound Immortal, and retaining the scene where Big Brother shattered Seventh Sister’s soul."
"Once we return, as long as I fully take over Big Brother’s forces and follow the unwritten rules of the Chuanke Royal Family’s succession battle, I can take over the wealth, technology, and talent accumulated by Seventh Sister."
"By then, my power will rapidly expand. With a bit of effort, and by secretly signing a contract with the Emperor, feigning compliance, making him believe I’m willing to lie dormant for three hundred years..."
"I will most likely be established as the Crown Prince, the heir, wielding more power and technology."
Most of these things the Third Prince did were to deal with the Emperor Chuanke.
Editing the video files in the warship recorders surely couldn’t be hidden from the Emperor, and Adam didn’t need to completely deceive him.
Just proving that the one who shattered the soul of Seventh Princess Eve was the Eldest Prince, Li Tang, and not him, Adam, was enough.
"Your plan is generally feasible."
Ma Ran raised an eyebrow slightly: "There is a loophole, which needs to be filled."
As he spoke, he slowly lifted his right hand and pressed it towards Adam’s head.
Looking at that fair palm, Adam instinctively wanted to retreat.
But then he thought, if Ma Ran really wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t need to use these methods; he could just do it directly. So he forcibly suppressed the impulse to retreat and stood firm.
A hand pressed on his head, and Adam felt a bout of dizziness.
The world spinning, head heavy, feet light, time distorted!
It seemed like only a moment had passed, yet it also felt like an eternity.
When Ma Ran removed his hand, Adam suddenly had a feeling of witnessing the vicissitudes of life, like a game of chess over ages.
"Feigning compliance with the Emperor won’t deceive him."
Ma Ran’s eyes were calm, and he said with certainty: "If you have any intention of deceiving him, you will die very miserably."
"So, I eliminated a part of your ’wandering thoughts.’"
"First become the Crown Prince, take the heir’s position, and then adjust further goals and tasks accordingly."
At that moment, Ma Ran simultaneously activated his Enchantment and Spiritual Surgery abilities, doing more than his words explained.
"Following your instructions."
Third Prince Adam knelt on one knee and slightly bowed his head: "Your will is my sole guideline for action."
His performance left Old Huang and Li Tang stunned, looking at Ma Ran’s right hand as if they had seen a ghost.
"No need to pretend anymore."
Ma Ran shook his head: "I only made it so you can be more honest when dealing with the Emperor Chuanke, using ’truth’ to deceive him."
"Twisting personality is something I can’t achieve with my current abilities yet."
This was a lie.
Permanently altering others’ thinking patterns and even personalities or morals, Ma Ran was incredibly adept at it.
However, besides Su Qiangwei, who vaguely guessed a bit, no one else was aware!
Including the recent spiritual surgery operation, it was the same.
It’s just that the back door and methods concerning "loyalty" were hidden so deeply that even Adam himself hadn’t realized it.
Hearing this, Third Prince Adam slowly stood up, with a slight smirk and a light laugh: "No matter what, we’re on the same warship now, aren’t we?"
"You are indeed the captain I recognize."
"At least, for now, you are."
"Currently, I’m like a squad leader of the first division, but ultimately, I still have to follow the captain’s orders."
President Huang Weiguo had a look of sudden realization on his face.
So, Adam was acting just now?
Li Tang didn’t know why, but suddenly felt a surge of tension, thinking he might have underestimated the competitiveness and courage of this third brother.
Seeing their reactions, Ma Ran was calm.
It was indeed an act, but everything was within his script.
Small twists and turns could better stir the emotions of the audience.
After the work reports were completed, in the office, Li Tang and Adam fully utilized their initiative, revealing a lot of information about the Chuanke Civilization to Old Huang and Ma Ran.
"Unfortunately, all the items considered ’black technology’ by Earth Civilization have genetic binding and spiritual recognition detection programs, only usable by those with Chuanke Star System’s royal lineage and genuinely recognizing the Chuanke Civilization."
Adam sighed and said.
This was the biggest hurdle.
If it were only genetic binding, they could just send a few devoted people over to undergo gene modification surgery, becoming temporarily Chuanke people.
However, the two hurdles of royal lineage and spiritual recognition detection made Old Huang completely give up on the idea of a shortcut to acquire advanced technology directly.
The Eldest Prince Li Tang’s eyes flickered as he added: "According to the information I gathered, when the Earth side counterattacked the Eternal Civilization earlier, besides signing a peace agreement, they acquired technical data for mecha and genetic optimization potion."
"With Earth’s technology, they’ve only digested the genetic optimization potion for now. Regarding mecha manufacturing and mecha master training, they are still clueless."
"And I happen to have some research in this area."
"Whether it’s alloy technology, engine theories, or mecha piloting training, I have quite some insights."
"If possible..."
"I am willing to stay in China with Ms. Jin Yina to contribute to the mecha business."
Saying this, Li Tang made a military pledge: "Five days!"
"If I can have full command and take over the Chinese side’s research progress, I can produce the first batch of Chinese mechas for Earthlings to use within five days!"
Ma Ran didn’t express directly but glanced at Old Huang beside him.
After exchanging glances with President Huang Weiguo, he nodded slightly: "Alright."
He certainly didn’t forget about Chuan Qi, who had already escaped from Earth.
However, without an interstellar battleship, Chuan Qi couldn’t escape far, even if he tried.
The task of pursuing fell on Third Prince Adam.
