Although he was reluctant to admit it, Gordon's terms had indeed targeted Charles's weak spot.
He understood the importance of the analyzer; after all, the high-speed information era on Earth's surface was entirely sustained by electronic computers.
As an Ability User, the technological development he pursued was like groping one's way across a river by feeling the stones, but the analyzer didn't need to—it could follow the path already laid by the surface world's electronic computers. All he had to do was have his subordinates replicate it.
He might not be able to, but capital could, and so could human laziness.
Gordon had been prepared for Charles's core technology; he'd brought more blueprints than even Charles had.
Seeing Charles agree to the collaboration so quickly, Gordon, who had just been about to explain the power of the analyzer, was somewhat surprised.
"Why would he agree so quickly? Does he know the powerful uses of the analyzer?"
