Chapter 232 This is the bottom line
Jiang Fan slowly uttered a sentence,

"Why does the First Fleet need to return? Isn't settling in the solar system what the Trisolaran civilization desires?"

The head of state's brain was practically steaming at that moment, and he didn't know how to answer the question. The scientific and military governors had the same reaction.

"Your Excellency, what does Jiang Fan mean by this?"

"You actually want the First Fleet to be stationed in the solar system? Are you crazy?"

The Führer was also puzzled.

"I don't know, or perhaps we've misinterpreted it?"

Jiang Fan waited a few minutes, and seeing that Zhi Zi remained silent, his cheerful expression suddenly turned ugly. He spoke in a low voice to the Trisolaran system,

"It is quite impolite to remain silent when facing guests on Earth, especially when the two parties are communicating online."

"If Mr. Former has not learned to respect human civilization, then he should not clamor to discuss certain matters with me. It makes him seem very uncultured, like an uncivilized barbarian!"

"No matter how advanced your technology is, there are even higher beings under this boundless starry sky. We all live in corners unseen by the hunters, and none of us are more noble than the others!"

"Since the Trisolarans have no other objections, let's do as Mr. Yuan said."

"I will have the Physics Research Department compile a list of technologies that human civilization currently needs, and exchange them with you using the resources of the solar system."

The head of state became anxious upon hearing this and quickly replied,
“Mr. Jiang Fan, please don’t make such a hasty decision. I am just surprised by your suggestion and have no intention of disrespecting human civilization.”

Jiang Fan's gloomy expression eased somewhat.

"What's so surprising? The roaming program has continued to this day, and human civilization is no longer confined to the solar system, so there is no danger of extinction."

"Furthermore, since we and you both live in the Dark Forest, Earth has no way to bypass the deterrence system and eliminate the Trisolaran civilization,"

"Similarly, I don't think the Trisolaran civilization has the capability to instantly eliminate more than ten thousand broadcasting devices scattered throughout the galaxy!"

"Therefore, I have long proposed the idea that the two civilizations should merge rather than be hostile, develop technology together, and stick together for warmth in the cold universe. This is the best survival strategy!"

"It's just that the Prime Minister seems to look down on Earth's civilization, believing his science and technology are more advanced than ours. Well, that's fine, we humans aren't the type to 'beg for kindness' and then be met with indifference."

"If you want to do your own research, then do it yourself. There's a saying that goes, 'Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it!'"

"I believe that even after a few hundred years of development, human civilization may not be much weaker than the Trisolaran civilization!"

After hearing his words, everyone who heard them felt an unwavering determination.

They looked at Jiang Fan as if he were the embodiment of justice.
Standing on an absolute moral high ground makes one feel ashamed.

The leader felt a slight sense of shame regarding his previous suspicion that human civilization had invaded the Trisolaran civilization; though weak, it was indeed a possibility.
I can't believe I actually doubted Mr. Jiang Fan's attitude towards peace; that's just outrageous.

They hurriedly stated their position.

"No, no, no, Mr. Jiang Fan, you are right. We should not be hostile if the deterrence system cannot be broken."

"If you can get the First Fleet to migrate to the solar system, it will be of great significance for mutual understanding between the two civilizations, and the Trisolaran civilization will not object."

The imposing aura emanating from Jiang Fan gradually dissipated.

"Let me reiterate: human civilization has always regarded peace as a priceless treasure!" "The same applies to guests; we welcome friends with fine wine, but we face enemies with swords and spears!"

"The Blue Star civilization and the Trisolaran civilization have been entangled for two hundred years since Ye Wenjie initiated exchanges!"

"During this period of time, your civilization has been eyeing us covetously, and has even used sophon technology to interfere with the development of human civilization on several occasions!"

"We considered that a state of hostility is the norm in the early stages of exchanges between different civilizations, and it is also a state that is not conducive to survival. Therefore, for the sake of better development in the future, we will not settle these matters."

"But if we think that human civilization is weak and easily bullied because of this, then I will definitely show the enemy what it means to fight to the death!"

It would be a shame not to award this man the Best Actor award!

Listening to these high-sounding words, even someone like Chen Zhou, who knows the inside story, can deeply feel that pure and innocent heart.

They wished they could rip their hearts out and show them to the Trisolaran civilization.

Ah, how we love peace! How we long to establish scientific and technological exchanges with you!
The leader's cold heart warmed slightly, but then came an even more disdainful sneer. Humans are such a foolish race, actually daring to talk about peace in the cold universe.

But his voice remained unchanged, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"Mr. Jiang Fan is right. Then we entrust the First Fleet to the care of human civilization."

The Trisolarans learned to conceal their secrets!

Everyone thought the meeting would end there, but Jiang Fan's next words caught them completely off guard.
"Mr. Yuan, have you ever heard of the childcare model that was particularly popular on Earth in the last century?"

"Such a distant memory," the leader thought for a moment before replying.

"I know, what's wrong?"

Jiang Fan Road,
"Parents ask relatives, friends, or school teachers to take care of their children, firstly to broaden their children's horizons, and secondly because they are too far away from their children to take care of them personally."

The question mark above the head of state has grown to three meters high. What exactly is this man trying to say?
"and then?"

Jiang Fan continued,
“Often, parents who take care of their children will pay a certain amount of money to the caregivers, because only by doing so can the children live with peace of mind and not develop a sense of inferiority from having to depend on others. Does Mr. Yuan think this is reasonable?”

The leader replied without hesitation,
"Of course it makes sense!"

Jiang Fan smiled.
"So, is your First Fleet's presence in the Solar System also a form of trusteeship? Shouldn't the Prime Minister pay some trusteeship fees to human civilization?"

The Trisolarans' thinking is highly logical; if the logic fails, their systems will crash, which is the basis for their unique personalities.

The head of state was caught up in Jiang Fan's words and blurted out,

"It should."

But then he remembered that several years ago, he and Jiang Fan had parted on bad terms when they discussed the decision to exchange sophon technology for immigration to the solar system.
Why did it come back again?
So he added another sentence,
"But it can't be a core secret! Even if it's managed by the family, it can't be that the parents give up all their wealth. That's the bottom line."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement. Ever since his previous attempt to exchange for the sophon technology failed, he knew that this core technology was something the leader would rather stay in the Trisolaran system than trade.

"Of course, we will draw up a list, and then we will discuss in detail what is possible and what is not. How about we start the business first?"
