Chapter 612: Shen Ruojing is Angry!

Translator: Lord bluefire

Karl smiled kindly and offered a seemingly innocent suggestion. “Your Majesty, I understand that you had no intention of causing harm to human society with your research; you were merely conducting it in private. In fact, we all know that various regions are secretly researching all kinds of things, and this is nothing new. Scientific progress must continue! Nowadays, human society is developing a metaverse, and your technology could actually be said to be for the metaverse! By digitizing human brain data and using it in computers, we can enter the digital age.

Karl rambled on, essentially saying that in their view, King Jing Zhen’s actions weren’t that serious. However, he changed his tone. “But why is it that others aren’t in trouble, while you are? It’s because you’ve solved this difficult problem and developed a technology that connects human neurons to computers, digitizing human thoughts. This has become your original sin!

“Your Majesty, you are an outstanding scientist, so you really don’t need to worry about this. You can abandon everything and just be a good king. As for your research results, if you make the technology public, all labs will know the answer. By then, I believe the United Nations would no longer focus solely on you. Wouldn’t that be a great outcome?”

Karl spoke casually, but his words nearly shocked Shen Ruojing out of her wits. The officials of China always put the people first. This was the first time she had encountered such a shameless... politician.

She knew that Song Chen wanted this technology to achieve immortality and much more. But shouldn’t the United Nations, for the sake of human safety, at least try to suppress the emergence of this technology until the level of social development reached that point?

King Jing Zhen, even though he was interested in this research, kept it secret after making the breakthrough. He was even willing to hide his identity as a royal crown prince for the sake of this technology and watch his own daughter be locked in a cave without giving it up...

Hence, Shen Ruojing was dumbfounded by their outrageous tactics.

Jing Zhen’s expression also turned cold. “Have your country Y and the Doom organization joined forces?’

Karl laughed. “Your Majesty, this is not called cooperation; it is a win-win situation...”

It was just a euphemism.

Jing Zhen’s face darkened.

Shen Ruojing turned to Karl. “Aren’t you afraid of people’s resistance by doing this in your country?’

Karl laughed. “Princess, today I am only representing myself, not country Y. What does it have to do with our country?’

Shen Ruojing.

This was utterly shameless! Had Country Ys international power become so strong that they could casually insult others like this?

Moreover! This wasn’t an arrest; it was a blatant attempt to steal their research! Song Chen’s threats didn’t work, so they went straight to the officials?

Jing Zhen narrowed his eyes. “What if I refuse to cooperate?”

Karl smiled like a fox. ‘Then you’ll be violating human security laws and endangering our safety. We have the right to arrest you.”

He sighed quietly, “After your arrest, it’s best for you to confess everything. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll have to resort to torture. You know, there are no limits when it comes to international affairs.”

The implication was that Jing Zhen would have to confess if he were arrested.

Seeing that King Jing Zhen and Princess Shen Ruojing had unhappy expressions, Karl laughed and said, “1 know that Your Majesty and the Princess will need to discuss this matter thoroughly. But it’s not a problem, we can wait. We will give Your Majesty some time to consider. However, if Your Majesty does not comply within the time limit willingly, I won’t be able to predict the

consequences.”

Karl then nodded to Jing Zhen, glanced at Shen Ruojing, and took a step back. “Your Majesty, Karl will take his leave now.”

Before leaving, he seemed to be giving them a reminder, but it was actually a warning. “Oh, by the way, the time limit for our arrest this time is five days. That is to say, you only have five days to think it over. Your Majesty, I don’t think you want to start a war, do you? Country A has developed so well, and if a war were to break out, it would likely set the country back by fifty years. The people of Country A probably don’t want to go to war either.’

After leaving these words, he truly left.

The room then fell silent.

Shen Ruojing stared at Karl with a gaze that seemed to want to burn him. Anger was boiling in her eyes.

She suddenly turned to Jing Zhen. “They are pushing us too far!”

Regardless of whether Jing Zhen’s technology was illegal or not, their current behavior could only be described as blatant robbery.

However, Jing Zhen patted the armrests of his chair, seemingly having anticipated all of this. He spoke calmly, “When it comes to international affairs, not everyone can be considered a person with morals. More often, it’s about fighting and profiting. ”

He sighed softly, “Jingjing, I’m afraid this is going to be troublesome.”

Country Y had pushed him to his limits.

Shen Ruojing sneered, “What’s there to be afraid of? We can just fight them if we have to!”

Jing Zhen looked at her but remained silent.

Shen Ruojing asked, “Father, is there really no other way?”

Jing Zhen looked at her. “Actually, there is a way.”

Shen Ruojing was slightly taken aback. “What is it?”

Jing Zhen smiled. “From the beginning to the end, strength is the ultimate rule. As long as we have enough strength, we can resist them.”

“Strength...” Shen Ruojing bit her lips. “Our royal family of Country A is one of the three major economic empires. Isn’t that enough?”

“Not enough,” Jing Zhen said slowly. “Do you know where the other two economic empires are?”

Shen Ruojing shook her head.

Jing Zhen said, “One is in Country Y. In fact, Karl’s family is part of that empire.”

Shen Ruojing didn’t expect it to be them. “What about the other one? Aren’t the three major economic empires supposed to maintain a balance of power? If we can win them over, won’t it be enough?”

Jing Zhen sighed, “No, the other empire has a rule that they will not participate in power struggles. So, we can only ally with one economic empire now.”

‘Who?”

“The Loong Corporation..”
