Chapter 223: Alan Tucker’s Plan

Aina smiled lightly and accepted the document. She then quickly browsed through it once. "Well done, you’ve worked hard."

"It’s my honor."

Aiken bowed and exited. Looking at how much the Princess had to do, Aiken wished that he could be of more help to her. However, he needed to observe the rules of etiquette. This was what every aide or assistant had to abide to.

There were too many competitors, and who knows? It was a possibility that someone in the aides’ team could become the Queen’s husband. Ignoring the issue of identity, it was a man’s lifelong happiness just to have a girl like her.

Finally, Aina was the only one left in the room, and she relaxed completely. Being busy prevented her from missing Wang Zheng. She really envied Huiyin. That girl could do what she wanted; she led a comfortable life. It looked like she had to get her to share the responsibilities soon.

She needed to do more so that people around her would realise that she existed and they need not have any plans for her marriage.

She could sacrifice her life for Aslan, but never her love.

Members of the royal family often went to extremes. They would either enjoy life and not care about love, or they would fall so deeply in love to the point where they were irrational. Such a situation was not rare in Aslan’s history. There were two kings who gave up their throne for love.

At the Mara Nine Countries Summit, the nine strongest countries of the Milky Way formed an association to peacefully discuss and consult on matters regarding the Milky Way’s economy.

This time around, she would be representing Aslan and attending the summit. She not only had to prepare Aslan’s views, but also needed to better understand the other eight strongest countries as well as their attending representatives. Additionally, she had to leave a deep impression on them.

The representative of Atlantis was Prince Hao Lin. In the past two years, the matters regarding Atlantis and humans were being handled by Hao Lin. While he looked to be just a child, Atlanteans could not simply be described using common sense.

The representative of the Arbiter Republic was Hughes Arbiter, the heir to the power of the Arbiter Republic.

The representative of the Gemini Galaxy Republic was the young parliament member, Wall. He was the youngest politician in the Gemini Galaxy Republic. He was also the eldest son of the Chairman of the First Party of the Gemini Galaxy Republic.

The representative of the Fairy Republic was Alexander from the Norton Star. He was only 28 years old and already a legendary figure of the Federal Secretary of State.

...

One week later.

Huge spaceship fleets guarded every corner of the Mara Galaxy. The nearby area, within a range of 10 light years, became star domains under the control of the Interstellar Federation. Any spaceships that were unmarked would be intercepted or even destroyed directly.

The Wenfei Star was the venue of the summit. The area surrounding the star was in high security alert, while on the star itself, the atmosphere there was relaxed and free. The daily lives of the residents were not affected at all. Furthermore, this was originally a location for the rich. There were strict requirements to be a resident on this star. The requirements to be met were not only about assets but also on the residents’ identities and background.

The summit was not an event that took only a day or two. It would take half a month to conduct in-depth consultations. These decisions would involve multiple aspects of the nine countries. One small clause from the macro perspective could affect the economical interests of a country costing billions, and these would be dispersed over multiple aspects, determining the fate of numerous medium-small enterprises.

Of course, these details would be discussed by the accompanying aides and professionals until there was a satisfactory proposal which would then be signed by the various countries’ representatives.

What Aina would face on a daily basis, other than browsing through the process of negotiation and determining the direction and the limits of negotiation, was to attend one banquet after another. They would be hosted respectively by the nine strongest countries.

Basically, the itinerary of the various representatives was about the same. One could not underestimate these banquets. A certain consensus could be reached at these seemingly private banquets for any problems that could not be resolved at the negotiations.

It was without saying that some consensuses reached would never be written into the negotiation record.

It was another dinner banquet. This time, it was initiated by Atlantis. Aina attended this banquet dressed in formal Aslan attire.

"Welcome, Princess Aina."

Hao Lin was dressed in human formal clothes with a small blue bow tie. He looked cute, like a tiny adult, tempting other people to pat him.

Aina smiled. "It’s my honor, Prince Hao Lin."

These two were more casual because of the good relationship between Aslan and Atlantis.

"I’m in favor of Your Highness’s New Energy Cooperation proposal. Atlantis is willing to participate in this project and can invest and provide technical assistance."

The little prince blinked his cute big eyes and said. His usage of Aina’s formal address emphasized that what he said was of official business.

"Oh, the new form of superconducting technology is not yet mature, are you that confident?"

Aina was a little surprised. Everyone else was simply observing, even Atlantis was at most showing interest. She did not expect Hao Lin to invest so much in this project.

Hao Lin smiled and said, "Actually, we are also just riding the wave. This new form of superconducting technology will definitely become the main source of energy in the next 100 years. We urgently need to invest in development of this technology. Let me introduce to you the person in charge of the FCL Group, Zarberg Li. He will be the coordinator for the New Energy Project this time. They have already developed a more reliable technology.

"It is an honor to meet you, Princess." Zarberg smiled as he bowed.

He was a middle-aged man who looked over 50. His eyes were calm and confident.

Aina, of course, knew about FCL. It was a technological research and investment group which had risen over the last decade. They were mysterious and powerful. Rumors said that they possessed a very large accumulation of technology and that they were involved in various major fields, especially in the space and materials aspect.

"Mr. Zarberg, nice to meet you. Looks like you will be bringing yet another surprise to the world of new energy."

"Your Highness, this is our honor. The company’s board of directors has already reached a consensus and we are very willing to work with Atlantis and Aslan."

Aina looked at Zarberg and pondered about the hidden meaning behind his words. "I heard that, including the Arbiter Republic, there are a few other countries who are very interested in this. Why choose us?"

Zarberg smiled slightly. "Even though I’m now living in the Mara Galaxy, my ancestral homeland is Earth. I heard that your highness is very fond of Earth. I think that being fond of similar things is helpful for business."

At the dinner banquet, Zarberg socialized with the representatives of the nine countries. He drew relations with everyone and reached some consensus. Of course, reaching a consensus was simply the first sign of intention. Deeper discussions and understanding had to be met for more concrete actions.

"Sorry, please excuse me."

Zarberg’s Skylink vibrated. He smiled and left the banquet hall. He then entered a secluded room. His Skylink came on and a blue light glowed outwards, scanning the whole room. After making sure that there were no tapping devices or monitoring devices, the Skylink screen opened. A blurred dark figure appeared on the screen. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the glass of red wine in his hands...

"How’s the situation?"

"There should be no problem with Aslan and Atlantis. Their new technology and our technology can be perfectly compatible.... Arbiter has better conditions and may be able to bring bigger profits."

"Proceed with the analysis according to plan."

A big game of chess was unfolding.

After the communication ended, at the edge of the distant Solar system.

One person put down the information in his hands and slowly sighed a sigh of relief. His mouth curved into a slight smile.

It was finally starting. After preparing for so many years, Alan Tucker was also a little excited. The research of the Rubik’s Cube involved many major fields of study, and these 20 years of research were not a waste of time. On the contrary, they were on the forefront of this generation for many of these aspects. Once he stopped being stubborn, these technologies could be transformed for residential use. It would be ground-breaking.

Of course, all of this was not without purpose.

The door opened to show a youth dressed in a white robe. This type of clothing was rare in the Milky Way, it was a bit retro. "Sir, the Elders have invited you to go over."

Alan Tucker nodded. Expectations and faith filled his eyes.

Wang Zheng, that little guy, could really create trouble. He was no doubt his disciple. He hoped that he would create more trouble, the bigger the better. It was only when things were stirred up that this era could advance.
