What are we trying to achieve by being so polite in establishing diplomatic relations and cooperating with each other? !
Isn't this such a waste?!
Aleister thought about it from his perspective. If he had this ability, he would have directly recruited soldiers and conquered other worlds without even bothering to use any tricks.
It was obvious that they could directly maximize their profits, but they chose a less efficient way of monetization. Aleister said he couldn't understand it.
…To be continued….
Chapter 260 Aleister's Hostility, Let's Make a Deal!
However, Aleister also realized that Su Mo, a person from another world, really had no ill will towards their world.
However, this actually doesn't matter to Aleister at all.
Even if Su Mo really wants to command an army to invade this world, it doesn’t matter.
Aleister only cares about whether this will affect his plans. As for what the world is like, he doesn't really care.
But at this moment, it seems that the appearance of Su Mo and the Dimension City may really affect his plans.
"I see. Then what's going on with Misaka Mikoto? She seems to be able to go to your side freely."
Aleister said this calmly, his gaze towards Su Mo gradually becoming sharper.
Misaka Mikoto is also part of Aleister's plan.
In the future, he will still need Misaka Mikoto to break through the "Absolute Ability Plan", to "rescue" the Misaka sisters, and to place the Misaka sisters all over the world.
The existence of the dimensional city will undoubtedly have an impact on the final step of this plan.
Just as Su Mo could think of it, Aleister could naturally think of it as well. The Dimensional City might become another choice for Misaka Mikoto to settle the Misaka sisters.
This is undoubtedly a result that Aleister does not want to see, as he plans to use the Misaka sisters, spread them to different parts of the world, and then use them as a base to spread the "Imaginary Number District Five Elements Machinery" to the entire world.
"The reason why our Dimension City can connect with various worlds is mainly because the Dimension Gate will randomly select some visitors from various worlds and let them come to the Dimension City, thereby opening the connection between that world and the Dimension City."
"And Misaka Mikoto is the chosen one of this world."
Su Mo also felt the change in Aleister's eyes, but he didn't care and continued to explain frankly.
"That's it..."
When Aleister heard this, he also understood that Su Mo did not seek out Misaka Mikoto on purpose, it was just a coincidence.
However, risks that should be avoided should still be avoided.
He asked again: "You said before that the Dimension City is still under construction, right? Then do you have the intention to accept immigrants?"
This is the most important question for Aleister.
"Of course, if we want to build a city, we must first have enough people. As someone who has been through this, Lord Aleister should understand this very well, right?"
"Yes, the construction of a city requires a large labor force, and after it is built, if you want to make it operate, you also need a large population of residents."
Aleister responded casually, and his eyes looking at Su Mo became more and more dangerous, as if he was thinking about whether to take action and how to do it.
Seeing that Aleister's hostility towards him was becoming more and more obvious, Su Mo knew that he could no longer play dumb.
He came to meet Aleister today, not to provoke or conflict with him.
"Since Lord Aleister mentioned this, could it be that you intend to transfer a group of immigrants to our Dimensional City? If so, I would be very grateful."
When Aleister heard this, his heart moved slightly, and his hostility immediately eased.
"Yes, maybe we can start some cooperation on this."
Aleister also realized that he didn't need to attack Su Mo.
The dimensional city needs population, so he will provide it.
As long as the population capacity of the Dimension City is filled in advance, even if Misaka Mikoto wants to place the Misaka sisters in the Dimension City later, Su Mo will not accept them.
However, just as Aleister had calmed down for a moment, Su Mo's next words made his hostility towards Su Mo soar again.
"This is a good thing, but let me be frank first. We in the Dimension City don't want everyone. After all, ordinary people are of no value to us."
"If you really want to give me a group of people, I think those clones of Misaka Mikoto are good. How about giving them to me?"
That’s right, Su Mo came to see Aleister just for the Misaka sisters.
If possible, he hopes to trade the Misaka sisters directly from Aleister.
In this way, he wouldn't have to wait for Misaka Mikoto to foil the 'Absolute Ability Plan', and he wouldn't have to worry about Misaka Mikoto wavering in the end and being unwilling to entrust the Misaka sisters to the Dimensional City.
At the same time, by bringing the Misaka sisters over in advance, the useless Absolute Ability Plan can be terminated in advance, reducing the sacrifices of the Misaka sisters and saving as many of them as possible.
Hearing this, Aleister's calm expression suddenly darkened. He looked at Su Mo indifferently and said, "How did you know of their existence?"
Aleister really didn't expect that just when he was about to change his mind, Su Mo actually hit him in the sore spot.
He actually targeted the Misaka sisters? !
This is one of the key parts of his plan, how could he let it go!
"How do I know about their existence? I have my own unique intelligence channels."
Su Mo smiled and shook his head. He did not answer the question, but asked:
"How about it? I wonder if Lord Aleister would be so generous as to hand them over to me?"
"Not that great. They are of great use to me and I won't give them to you. Just give up." Aleister refused coldly.
"Don't be so absolute."
"They are just useful to you. In other words, you only care about the role they can play, and 393 is not them, so..."
"As long as there is a way to replace their role, then they are actually dispensable to you, right?"
"So, what if my dimensional city is willing to pay the corresponding price to replace them?" Su Mo said with a smile, looking like a bargaining businessman.
"..."
After hearing this, Aleister fell silent.
Because Su Mo was right.
What he cares about is not the clones of Misaka sisters, what he cares about is only the role of these clones.
Even if there are no Misaka sisters, we can still have Hayasaka sisters and Blackboard sisters.
No matter what it is, as long as the imaginary number zone can be spread to the whole world without being noticed, he doesn't care about the other trivial details.
So, if Su Mo can really come up with compensation to replace Misaka sisters, then it is not a bad idea to trade Misaka sisters to Su Mo.
only……
"Why would I do this deal? It doesn't do me any good, does it?"
Yes, the deal could be made, but it would not benefit Aleister at all.
Now that he already has Misaka sisters, why would he go through all the trouble of getting another one?
…To be continued….
Chapter 261 Magic and Technology, Su Mo's Plan
Now that this part of his plan is nearing completion, Aleister has no reason to replace the Misaka sisters at this juncture.
Because not only will this be of no benefit, it may even cause some unnecessary impact on his plans.
Just like anyone who knows a little about military strategy knows that changing generals before a battle is a big taboo.
For things that have already been decided, changing anything in the final preparation stage will often lead to irreversible serious consequences or even total failure.
This is what Misaka Sister is to Aleister.
He has been planning this for a long time, and it will be implemented in a month or two. If he makes changes at this time, not only will he suffer great losses, but the final results will most likely be far from his expectations.
Therefore, unless Su Mo can come up with a better plan, Aleister will not give in easily.
Su Mo also understood this and was prepared for it.
He smiled and said, "Of course there are benefits."
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to use them secretly, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't want to use them but let them be consumables."
"Everything that is now in the open is just a cover-up to prevent your enemies from noticing."
Aleister neither answered nor objected, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
Aleister was not surprised that Su Mo could see this.
Rather, if he couldn't even see this, then there was no need to discuss the deal at all. He would not cooperate with a young man who knew nothing.
Su Mo continued, "If that's the case, then in terms of secrecy, my Dimension City is undoubtedly more advantageous."
"Firstly, we are not from this world. We have some methods that this world does not have. The people in this world are unlikely to notice it. Even if they have some suspicions, they cannot tell that there is anything wrong."
Aleister nodded, "Indeed."
Regarding this point, Aleister had to admit that Su Mo was right.
If he didn't know about the existence of Su Mo and the Dimension City, he would probably have no idea about some of the methods of the Dimension City.
In the absence of intelligence, the product of a different system that has never appeared before is undoubtedly very mysterious.
It’s like modern people suddenly obtained an alien spaceship. Even if they figured out the function of the spaceship, it would be difficult to understand the technology behind it.
"Secondly, although our dimensional city is still in its infancy, it has already obtained the technology and resources of several worlds."
"What we have now is not only magic, but also advanced technology, even magical technology that combines the two, extraordinary biotechnology, etc."
"And this world, with magic and super powers, doesn't place too much emphasis on science and technology, right?"
"Yes."
Aleister was well aware that the technology in this world was not valued.
Although Academy City's technology seems very advanced compared to the outside world, it is actually just that, with little improvement in the overall level and no major breakthroughs.
At most, we have only realized some of the future technologies left behind by the great scientists of the last century.
These technologies could not be realized at the time due to limitations of the times, and it was only with the help of super powers that Academy City made these technologies possible.
Moreover, the technological development of Academy City also focuses more on the development and research of super powers, which is quite biased.
As for magic's view of technology, it is even more contemptuous.
Even if he is just an ordinary magician, he is not afraid of threats other than strategic-level weapons.
Top magicians are not even afraid of strategic weapons.
Because magicians can even temporarily distort and rewrite the laws of the world within certain regulations, thus rendering technological weapons ineffective.
Not only that, technology also has limitations that cannot be matched by almost omnipotent magic.
This makes most magicians look down on technology even more.
Although they will accept and enjoy the convenience brought by technology, and even believe in scientific research and diagnosis.
But I never feel that technology is more powerful than magic.
In the eyes of magicians, so-called technology is nothing more than the wisdom of mortals, which is simply not on the same level as the miraculous power of magic.
With such a sense of superiority, magic naturally does not pay attention to technology.
"That's easy. Not paying attention means less attention, and less attention means it's suitable for some covert actions."
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
Seeing this, Aleister also became interested and motioned for Su Mo to continue.
Regardless of whether he will eventually agree to the deal, there is no harm in listening to Su Mo's proposal. It can just be regarded as an opportunity to broaden his thinking.
"First of all, may I ask, will magic in this world interfere with the development and popularization of science and technology?"
"I see. I roughly understand. This is indeed feasible."
With just one sentence, Aleister had guessed what Su Mo was up to.
Su Mo was not surprised by this, because his plan was not complicated. With just a hint, a smart man like Aleister would be able to guess it, not to mention that his question was already very obvious.
Seeing that Aleister said it was feasible, Su Mo smiled.
".‖ As long as magic does not interfere with the development of technology, we can definitely add some ingredients to the progress of this technology."
"Besides, this doesn't even need to be done by Academy City. It can be done by Eagle Sauce, Big Mao, Rabbit, or even Western Alliance. Any technologically advanced country can do it."
