I have a wizarding world

United Nations Headquarters.

The atmosphere at the meeting became strange.

Representatives from major countries like China and Russia were all watching Bruce's discomfiture with interest.

The United States was used to being domineering. Although it wanted to gain benefits from the space city, it acted like a world police, trying to find an excuse to subdue the Pasa Islands and then seek greater advantages.

Unexpectedly, the Pasa Islands didn't give it the time of day.

In fact, this wasn't the first time the Pasa Islands had ignored it.

During the previous Syrian missile incident, the Pasa Islands had also been very tough.

However, the United States, wary of the Pasa Islands' powerful military strength, had never dared to send troops. After all, they would be facing a country that could annihilate an aircraft carrier fleet in half an hour.

"Ambassador Bruce, esteemed representatives of the United Nations member states," Li Zhe said with a smile, "As a responsible country, the Pasa Islands will naturally abide by international space law and will not deploy military weapons in outer space.

I can guarantee this to everyone present."

Everyone listened to his guarantee, but didn't take it too seriously.

Being able to build a space city in geostationary orbit and set up a military base there was perfectly normal.

Of course, it was easier to do than to say.

Naturally, no one would dwell on this issue, after all, that wasn't what they were here for.

They were all here for Star Ring City.

Because anyone who wasn't stupid would understand that space was the future of mankind.

Small countries don't develop space technology due to constraints such as economy, land area, and technology.

Given the opportunity, no country would give up on space.

Seeing everyone's silence, Li Zhe continued: "Furthermore, I can guarantee here on behalf of Universe Heavy Industries that the outer ring of Star Ring City will be gradually opened to all countries in the world within the next year.

I think this can also dispel everyone's concerns. After all, no military base would be built in an open city, right?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces became eager.

Star Ring City was actually an open space city.

The world's first space city.

Its potential was self-evident. As long as the Pasa Islands could guarantee the safety of this space city, it was believed that anyone would want to take a look at Star Ring City.

Those with economic strength even hoped to have their own house in this city.

And the major countries were considering more about renting a spaceship docking port in this space city.

Although countries currently don't have the strength to develop advanced spaceships, it doesn't prevent them from planning ahead.

Seeing the representatives of various countries showing interested expressions, Li Zhe said with a smile: "Moreover, Universe Heavy Industries plans to lease our Explorer transport ships to countries around the world in the coming years. Specific details can be consulted with us on the Pasa Islands by interested countries."

"Explorer transport ship?"

"What is that?"

"Is it your country's latest developed spacecraft?"

"..."

The conference site was stirred up again by Li Zhe's words.

This news was too shocking.

Bruce and representatives from several major countries' faces changed drastically after hearing the news that the Pasa Islands was leasing Explorer transport ships.

Other small countries didn't know about the Explorer transport ship, but major countries such as the United States, Russia, and China knew that the Pasa Islands possessed a large spacecraft that could easily fly into outer space.

According to satellite observation data, the size of the Explorer transport ship was almost as big as an aircraft carrier.

It was a huge spacecraft.

Compared to it, the launch vehicles and space shuttles of various countries were simply not worth mentioning.

The Pasa Islands would actually lease this kind of thing?

After a little thought, the representatives of various countries understood the Pasa Islands' intentions.

Technological monopoly!

The principle was very simple: if something could be obtained at a very low cost, would you still spend a huge cost to develop it?

Even if you were willing to spend a huge cost to research it, before you could figure it out, others would have come up with something more advanced.

In this way, there was only one way: to buy other people's advanced products.

But this was a dead end.

Once you accepted it, you would be controlled by others forever in the future.

Because it almost abolished your ability to independently research and develop.

But you had to accept it, because the Pasa Islands were open to all countries in the world. If you didn't accept it, you would lag behind, and everyone knew the principle that backwardness meant being beaten.

It could be said that this was a fruit with poison, but everyone had to eat it.

This might not have a great impact on other small countries, but it would have a great impact on major countries.

Who would be willing to have a country suddenly come along that could control you?

Sure enough, after hearing Li Zhe's words.

The faces of other small countries with poor space capabilities were excited, but the faces of major countries with strong space capabilities such as the United States, Russia, and China were not very good.

"Mr. Li Zhe," the Chinese representative approached the slender microphone and said in Chinese, "Does your country have any plans to sell Explorer transport ships in the future?"

"Mr. Zhang," Li Zhe also said in fluent Chinese, "First of all, the Explorer transport ship is produced by Universe Heavy Industries, and they are responsible for the specific sales matters. However, as far as I know, countries can choose whether to buy it after renting it for five years."

"That technology..."

"Mr. Zhang," Li Zhe interrupted him with a smile, "I hope we can discuss these issues in detail when we go to the Pasa Islands."

Seeing the Pasa Islands and the Chinese representative flirting with each other at the meeting, Bruce felt an unspeakable suffocation in his heart.

He never expected that the United States would have a day of sitting on the sidelines.

"Cough cough," Bruce coughed awkwardly, "Regarding the Explorer transport ship and the immigration quota for Star Ring City..."

"Mr. Bruce," Li Zhe said with a smile, "Star Ring City does not have any plans to open to the United States for the time being, and our Explorer transport ship will not have any transactions with your country."

Li Zhe raised a finger and said lightly.

"You..." Bruce's face turned red. As the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Bruce was humiliated for the first time.

But thinking about the United States' attitude towards the Pasa Islands these two times, Bruce sighed silently.

No other reason, the two sides have a long-standing grudge.

Yuncheng Technology's upcoming new product has also been suppressed by the U.S. government, and virtual reality helmets cannot be sold in the U.S. market at all.

At this point, a United Nations meeting came to an end amidst the complex feelings of everyone.

The biggest loser in this meeting was the United States, and the biggest winner was not those world powers, but the various small countries.

Because they originally couldn't even get satellites into the sky, but in the future, they are likely to have products like starships from science fiction.

Not to mention they still have immigration quotas for Star Ring City.

Leasing Explorer transport ships was indeed Fang Cheng's idea.

Because in his opinion, it would probably be a few years later when the internal ecological cycle system of Star Ring City was perfected and the Explorer transport ships were leased out.

At that time, it is estimated that Fang Cheng would have even developed Mars.

He didn't know what generation his starships would have been developed to.

He didn't care about the primitive starships like the Explorer at all.

Compared with the speed of technological development, Fang Cheng, who has an intelligent learning machine, is really not afraid of anyone.

Any country that wants to compete with the Pasa Islands in terms of technology will only be dragged to death in the end.

How can a normal person compare to someone who is using a cheat, not to mention that this cheat can still be upgraded.
