Chapter 890 Press Conference (4)
After Yang Sikang finished speaking, the entire press conference became unusually quiet.
Reporters with a keen sense of smell have already shifted their focus to their colleague who is being questioned in return, and this reporter who originally had a good plan is now on pins and needles.
He clearly realized that he should respond immediately, but he couldn't answer this question.
What matters in this matter is timing. When he hesitated, the opportunity had already passed.
Yang Sikang's smile remained unchanged, but in the eyes of the reporter now, that smile seemed to be mocking him for overestimating his own abilities.
"Don't look at me like that. To me, you are not worthy of special targeting. What I just said was just a rational statement based on objective conditions."
After Yang Sikang said this, the reporters quickly turned around and looked at him.
Then, Yang Sikang continued:
"As I said just now, this is an objective reason. So of course there will be some subjective factors. After all, I am also a person, and I have my own ideas that will be influenced by external factors."
Reporters who had close ties with the royal family and had received benefits in advance all sensed a different atmosphere and remained silent tacitly.
One of the other two reporters who had previously communicated with the now embarrassed reporter keenly sensed the opportunity, raised his hand after careful consideration, and naturally got Yang Sikang's nod of permission.
He felt that something was not right, but the opportunity was right in front of him, and it was a reasonable and risk-free opportunity...
He calmed down and asked:
"Mr. Yang, do the subjective factors you mentioned also include not making the technology you have mastered public? If so, is your choice not to make it public due to the objective factors you just mentioned or your subjective decision?"
"Of course it's both."
Yang Sikang answered without hesitation and asked in return:
"The objective factor is that even if I share the technology I master with you, you won't be able to learn and put it into use right away. Without the corresponding foundation, what I share is of no value other than wasting manpower and material resources. The current situation shows that the threat of the Sirens is increasing. No matter which camp you are in, you need a more concentrated and powerful combat force than before to ensure the basic transportation of supplies.
To put it more practically, it means that everyone present can easily buy coffee, tea, desserts or other things at street coffee shops or convenience stores after the press conference. "
Without waiting for the reporters to ask, Yang Sikang continued:
"My subjective factor is actually very simple. To put it in one sentence, I just don't want to give it, that's all."
Yang Sikang smiled slightly:
“These technologies were obtained by me and the ship girls in my fleet after spending a lot of time and energy and consuming countless resources. Each technology was built up by our time and resources, and also includes a lot of my personal knowledge.
I don't need to explain the value of these technologies. You are all reporters, so you can go find a few commanders and see if the ship equipment they have received in recent years has been improved compared to before."
After a light laugh, Yang Sikang continued:
"These technologies were created after a lot of trial and error with the resources and efforts of me and my shipgirls. If you want me to share them for free, that's fine. But before that, I'm curious how many of you are willing to contribute. How about this? If two of you reporters are willing to stand up and donate all your property to the commanders on the front line to fight against the Sirens, I will make the technology I have mastered public for free. How do you think?"
He looked at the two reporters expectantly, but neither of them responded.
The other reporters also realized that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. No matter what they thought in their hearts, no rational person would jump out to provoke the commander at this time.
After waiting for two minutes, the two reporters showed no response. Yang Sikang spread his hands:
"You see, there are very few people who are willing to donate their own wealth for free, but there are many people who are willing to donate the wealth of others for free. Oh, I can donate what I have for free, but where will I get the resources and information I need to continue my research in the future?"
He looked at the reporter from before:
"Can you give me the minimum amount of resources needed to invest two hundred Mind Cubes in a research project that has no guarantee of success?"
The reporter lowered his head quickly, and Yang Sikang looked at the reporter behind him:
"how about you?"
Of course, the reporter couldn't answer this question either.
The research consumes a huge amount of resources, and two hundred Rubik's Cubes are only the minimum basic requirement.
However, this level of consumption is not affordable for ordinary commanders, even if it is just the minimum demand. Only the various camps themselves can bear such expenditures.
Yang Sikang smiled softly:
"Research also costs money, and I still have a lot of knowledge in my head. For me, these technologies are just a process, and there is still a long way to go before the final results. You want me to share my technology, no problem. Just bring out the chips you think are appropriate, and we can have a fair exchange."
The third reporter saw that the situation was not good and stood up.
"But Mr. Yang, aren't these research projects being conducted in every camp? And isn't it inappropriate to ask for rewards from ordinary people like us for your research projects?"
"Why, you are not protected by the Royal Fleet Girls?"
Yang Sikang asked back, and the latter did not panic, but replied calmly:
"Yes, I admit that we are all under the protection of the Ship Girls, but we have also made our contributions. Otherwise, the Ship Girls would not have so many resources for development. Although their contributions are indelible, we have not done nothing. As taxpayers, we have done what we should do."
His words were sensible, but Yang Sikang just smiled.
If you follow his line of thought and argue with him, you will fall into his trap. This reporter is obviously calmer than the previous two colleagues, and he is not as radical. However...
"Yes, but so what? Your taxes won't go to me. If you don't know me, I can remind you myself. My name is Yang Sikang, and I'm a stateless outsider.
You tell me that your taxes are meaningless, and how many Mind Cubes can you get in exchange for your taxes?
Of course, you can feel at ease and think that you have fulfilled your obligations, but correspondingly, I also have my own ideas. "
