Chapter 31 Tony: Wandering... Earth??_1
```
For the cautious and careful.
The best way to deal with them
is to let them grope around on their own to find various bits and pieces of clues and then use those clues to conjure up their own version of the truth.
Often this way,
no matter how outrageous the answer,
they will firmly believe it, then become deeply entangled, unable to extricate themselves!
Chang Weisi was just such a person.
Too cautious and very suspicious.
Logic hence devised a three-part scheme, and now he had just finished the first act, making Chang Weisi firmly believe that there were hidden enemies, and they were likely aliens.
The second act was to gradually reveal the mysterious alien civilization.
The third act was Logic's moment of apotheosis.
You, Logic, will face the master directly in combat!
You are the savior!
Of course...
The time for the second act to take the stage was still far off, at least a few months away. Only with enough time spent and enough investigation would Chang Weisi become more and more mired, falling into the pit and unable to climb out.
Logic shifted his gaze from the center of operations, this matter could be put to rest for now, as he had another concern at the moment.
That was The Wandering Earth.
Although relying on his mysterious alien identity, he had temporarily convinced the interim government of The Wandering Earth of his capabilities, they were even willing to negotiate and be employed by him.
But the precondition was to let them see hope!
Hope to escape the solar helium flash, to escape the solar storms!
After all, The Wandering Earth project had been underway for decades, so many planetary engines had been built, and the wandering plan had become deeply rooted in people's hearts, becoming a firmly entrenched concept.
To persuade the other party to give up
Was no easy task!
And the appearance of Logic as the Trisolaran Regent remained a secret of the United Government of The Wandering Earth and had not been publicized to the masses.
To the public, such a vast and massive wandering project could just be halted on a whim, rumors would fly everywhere, and with just a little guidance by those with ulterior motives...
Rumors.
Are indeed terrifying!
To personally experience the terror of rumors?
One just needs to open Baidu, search for a body ache and see the results to know.
"What should I do..."
Logic felt a headache coming on, he, a Plane Merchant, the builder of a vast multi-dimensional empire, was still at the beginning stage and had nothing of value to offer.
The Three-Body Civilization had technology, but he had no bargaining chips at hand, and still needed time to prepare.
Earth's technology was too weak, still stuck in the year 2008, not catching up with The Wandering Earth, which was already in the year 2060.
Yes, 2060!
Even the simpleton had figured it out!
Does one understand the technological sophistication and scientific level of a Magical Phone?
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑).
After pondering for a moment, Logic waved his hand, a pale white ring of light appeared with the swing of his arm, and the scenery in front of him turned upside down in an instant.
When he reemerged,
he was already in the world of The Wandering Earth, with passersby bustling around him, yet not a single person was able to observe or even come into contact with him.
At this moment, Logic
was viewing things from behind a screen.
He was experiencing this novel perspective, observing the whole world anew.
Soon,
there was a companion.
Tony appeared in a flash, now holding a glowing, shiny glass object in his hand, flickering with a soft blue light, incredibly conspicuous.
Logic recognized that glass object in an instant.
```
It's clearly the Cosmic Cube!
This caught Logic by surprise. After all, it had only been a few days since he left the Marvel Universe, and Tony looked full of vigor, obviously having solved his palladium poisoning problem.
That was simple for Tony.
Just creating a new element.
For Tony, who could invent a quantum shuttle machine, it was just a piece of cake.
But for Tony to have gotten his hands on the Cosmic Cube in such a short time was beyond Logic's expectations, especially since the one-eyed dragon Nick Fury was famously distrustful of others and liked to keep everything in his own hands.
Such a person.
How could he possibly hand over the Cosmic Cube, a weapon containing infinite energy, to Tony?
"How did you do it!"
Logic pointed to the Cosmic Cube in Tony's hand and said meaningfully, "I remember a certain one-eyed egg is quite principled and has his lines drawn."
"He's too principled! I, Tony, just love dealing with these people who have lines drawn!"
Tony raised an eyebrow and flipped the Cosmic Cube in his hand, "I just spent fifty billion to sponsor the guy a little fix-up for his shabby boat, tsk tsk tsk, these days there are actually people building aircraft carriers, hehe, that guy must have embezzled quite a bit!"
Sponsored with fifty billion...
Alright...
Logic could almost imagine Nick Fury's barely contained grin, using a Cosmic Cube that was almost impossible to research and obtain results from, to gain the support of a stable cash cow, uh, a sugar daddy, was just too sweet!
And the Cosmic Cube wasn't given away.
It was only for him to study for a few days.
Even if they made progress, it would require technology sharing.
Is there anyone in the world more of a cash cow, uh, with a bigger backer than Tony?
Seeing Logic's reflection, Tony said smugly, "Ah! It's just pocket change!"
Just fifty billion.
Easily done—not just a small gesture but, to avoid sounding arrogant, let's call it a moderately-sized gesture.
Logic curled his lip, making Tony feel an exhilarating sourness. Alien, so what?
In the presence of my billionaire charm, Tony.
You should feel ashamed!
Tony looked around and was immediately attracted by the towering planetary engine piercing the sky, and he realized instantly that this was not his Earth.
"Where is this?"
"A planet similar to Earth, I just bought it a few days ago, oh, it's just pocket change!"
Familiar words.
Only this time they were not said by Tony, but by Logic. Logic stuck his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Buying a planet doesn't cost much. The seller was easy to talk to, giving me sixty billion workers to help me out for getting this little broken ball, ugh, it's such a bother! How many planets do I own now? It should be less than sixteen hundred, right?"
Tony: ...
That's it.
I've met someone who can show off more than me!
Faced with Logic's casual talk of buying planets, Tony suddenly felt his billions seemed a bit insignificant. He coughed awkwardly twice, "I feel this planet is a bit unique, look at that column, so big..."
"That's a planetary engine!"
Logic briefly explained the background of The Wandering Earth, chatting away. The sun was about to explode, humanity decided to take Earth with them as they migrated, three billion people set off on the escape route, planning to implement this ambitious project over the span of fifty generations, nearly two thousand five hundred years!
The Wandering Earth!
Wandering through space!
Tony was silent for a while, deeply shocked by the grand plan.
"They..."
"Are really amazing!"
If he were facing such a disaster, could he ensure his own safety? How many people could he save? Ten, twenty, a hundred?
The Noah's Ark Spaceship could carry only tens of thousands at most!
The Wandering Earth...
Survived with a full three billion!
Over three billion!
"Incredible, incredible, you guys are truly amazing!"
