"Director Wang, the laser speeder has been activated, and in fifteen minutes, you can implement a time-free video dialogue with the Mars base!"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, sitting at a herringbone conference table, nodded at a young female officer in a space uniform across from him, and then stared at the huge video monitor across from him without blinking.

At this time, another male officer next to him, who was wearing an aerospace uniform and slightly younger than Director Wang, said solemnly to Director Wang: "According to the information report from the Mars base, the United States still does not have an exact test report on those few things, so I came up with the idea of trading with us!"

"No exact report?" Director Wang frowned, and then snorted lightly: "Hmph, now that the interstellar archaeological research of various countries has its own strengths, don't think that you are the best in the world, and besides, the United States has always been cunning and cautious, it is impossible not to make a little discovery!"

The man smiled disappreciatively and said, "Hehe, yes, yes, the elder taught me a lesson, but according to my informant's report, the things in the 38th cave of Mars seem to have something to do with our things in the Tang and Song dynasties in ancient China, so they want to simply hand it over to us, in exchange for some benefits!"

Director Wang said expressionlessly: "Don't sell yourself here, it's been ten years, and there is nothing of value from your empty situation department on the thirty-eighth hole, not even a photo!"

Hearing this, the young male officer jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp, and said: "Boss, is there any mistake, Hole 38 is a special secret, and even the President of the United States does not know about it! You should know that as long as it is a secret that their President does not know, what level is it? That's why their Interstellar Archaeology Group plans to make a private deal with us." Do you think we can get this kind of information?"

Director Wang smiled but said nothing.

Soon, the male officer seemed to have come to his senses, rolled his eyes, sat beside Director Wang indignantly, and muttered: "If you don't respect the old man, you know how to trick me!"

"Director Wang, it's almost time!" Soon the female officer on the right side of the video also couldn't help laughing, nodded at Director Wang, and walked to Director Wang and sat down after speaking.

The huge screen flashed a few times, and soon two groups of people appeared in two, which could be seen from the national flags on the conference tables of each group, one group was Dr. He and the three of them from the Chinese interstellar archaeology group of the Mars base, and the other group was the American interstellar archaeology group headed by Dr. Philip in the United States.

Philip has silver hair, fluffy and unkempt, and has the style of Einstein. At this time, seeing that he was a little too serious, he frowned and said to Director Wang: "Mr. Wang, you must already know the purpose of our video connection this time!

Director Wang was silent and just nodded.

"Well, Cave 38 of Mars, we want to transfer it to you!"

At this time, Director Wang nodded again, but sneered: "Dr. Philip, may you tell me, how long has it been since the discovery of Cave 38? Five years ago, Dr. He privately sent a note to you that we were willing to use our state-of-the-art laboratory to cooperate free of charge, but you unconditionally refused, so why did you take the initiative to find us now? Did you already think that Cave 38 was worthless, so you thought of us?"

Listening to Director Wang's words, Dr. Philip took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat with embarrassment on his face.

However, at this time, a middle-aged woman with a tall nose bridge in overalls and a tall nose next to Philip said sharply in stiff but rigorously worded Mandarin Chinese: "Director Wang, I am Linda, a student of Dr. Philip, and I am a Ph.D. in interstellar archaeology from China University. If you ask my teacher this way, maybe my teacher is really wrong. But on the other hand, if you find such an alien monument, would you be willing to share it with others selflessly, rather than studying it for a few years?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Linda said again: "Frankly speaking, you are the most advanced in China in the field of interstellar archaeology. Therefore, now we are willing to let this discovery out, in the hope that there will be new discoveries, and maybe it can also be helpful for the development of the earth, as well as the study of the mechanical civilization in outer space, or the Dao Immortal civilization!"

Originally, I had been thinking about how to refute Linda's words, but when I suddenly heard the word 'Dao Immortal Civilization', Director Wang couldn't sit still. Because, his doctoral dissertation is "On the Possibility of the Coexistence of Dao Immortal Civilization and Mechanical Civilization in Outer Space".

And Linda, the middle-aged woman in the video, is an old acquaintance of Director Wang. Linda, who also has a Ph.D. in interstellar archaeology at China University, wrote her doctoral dissertation on "On the Possibility of the Coexistence of Magical Civilization and Mechanical Civilization in Outer Space".

That's right, both of them are leaders in interstellar archaeology, and they are also representatives of the emerging generation of interstellar archaeology in China and the United States, but one struggled on the front line after graduation, and the other entered politics because he was not allowed to go into space for physical reasons. But it doesn't mean that the open and secret battle between the two is over. Linda's remarks this time obviously supported Director Wang's argument from the content of Cave 38.

The mechanical civilization of outer space has long been decided, but whether it is Linda's magic civilization or Director Wang's Daoxian civilization, there are not enough practical arguments so far. And all indications show that the 38th hole will be a strong support for Director Wang's argument. And these words came out of Linda's mouth herself, which is more reliable.

Originally, there were several sets of negotiation plans, but they were hit by the other party in an instant. In just one day, the two parties reached a preliminary trading contract. The US side handed over Cave 38 and all its contents on the condition that the Chinese side provide free of charge the transportation facilities of 100 people from the US Interstellar Archaeological Group for 10 years, and at the same time allow the American counterparts to know the results of the research and appraisal of Cave 38.

Director Wang didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning he called the director of the Aerospace Bureau, and after getting permission, Director Wang began to act secretly. For a time, the top linguists, historians, semiotics, and interstellar archaeology experts in China, a whole twenty people received a secret call from the Aerospace Administration, asking them to come to the capital to study something in the name of tourism during the May Day period.

On the other hand, Director Wang asked to start the start-up detection of the time shuttle and screen the astronauts at the same time.

Why do you need to look for linguists, symbols, and historians, because after the handover of Cave 38, Dr. He of Mars sent a picture of an important antiquity in Cave 38. It is a thin yellow silk one meter long and one foot wide, similar to the ancient Chinese holy decree. There are some square-shaped characters on the thin silk, which the Americans cannot understand, thinking that they are ancient Chinese characters, which is also the initial reason why they want to transfer Cave No. 38 to China.

However, after Dr. Ho sent someone to take over Cave 38, Dr. Ho could not recognize the words on the thin silk. Thus, there was Director Wang's action of summoning these linguistic semiotics.

On May 1, the Aerospace Bureau enlarged the holiday, but the Mars Division was full of overtime. And this day is also the day when those experts and scholars report to work.

After listening to Director Wang's report, these experts were all very excited. Think about what it means to come from Mars and how excited you are to think about it.

But it was really not surprising to Director Wang, twenty experts, after a whole day of research, their faces gradually became difficult to look at.

"I'm sorry, Director Wang, according to our observations, these characters are neither deeds nor seals, nor are they Jinshi scripts, we have never seen this kind of script, and we can't even decipher a word. A white-haired old man shuddered.

Director Wang is a doctor of interstellar archaeology, and since he first saw the image, he had some guesses, but he was relatively unprofessional in ancient Chinese characters, so he called these experts here, just to confirm it.

After listening to the white-haired old man's words, Director Wang smiled slightly, and said very politely: "Hehe, please Academician Hong and all the experts, you can make a copy of each of you, take it home and study it yourself, and if you have any questions, you can call me at any time! But remember that this is a national secret, and the fewer people who know about it except you, the better." ”

Academician Na Hong hurriedly nodded and said, "Understand, understand!"

After sending away all the experts, Director Wang immediately summoned the senior management of the Mars Division and held a meeting overnight!

"Song Qiang, the Mars spacecraft will arrive at the Pacific launch base on the 19th of next month, and you will personally escort those four things back!

A soldier in a military uniform saluted, and without saying a word, he packed up the folder in front of him and left the conference room.

"Huo Xiaotong, the astronauts will enter the state of departure before the 18th of next month!"

"Yes!" replied a tall, beautiful female officer.

"That's right!" Director Wang thought for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Do you have any intentions?"

"Report to the general, we are going to let Xie Sanyang go out on a mission this time!" Huo Xiaotong replied solemnly.

However, as soon as Huo Xiaotong spoke, there was a commotion in the conference room, and at the same time, a few people sneered and couldn't help laughing.

Director Wang frowned and said, "Xie Sanyang, isn't he going to retire at the end of the year?"

"Report to the general, as an astronaut, as long as you are still in service, you are obliged to accept any mission!" Huo Xiaotong still replied solemnly.

At this time, a middle-aged officer beside Huo Xiaotong, who was also with the rank of colonel, smiled and said, "Xiaotong, Xie Sanyang only came out of the confinement room last month, is it reliable for you to do this?"

didn't wait for Huo Xiaotong to speak, an elderly officer on the opposite side looked at Huo Xiaotong and said: "As a soldier and an astronaut, not only does my life style often have problems, but I also got drunk and fought on the street last time, and I repeatedly contradicted my boss." You all know his nickname, 'Third Master'! Tsk, listen, he is a complete ruffian! Hey! Originally, I thought that he had solid basic skills and had been an instructor of military literacy for astronauts, and secondly, I remembered that he retired at the end of the year, so I didn't fire him, and now you are..."

"Yes!" The middle-aged officer beside Huo Xiaotong said with a smile: "It is said that he once had more than ten girlfriends, and you are the current one!"

"Hahaha..."

The conference room finally boiled over.

Although Huo Xiaotong had been mentally prepared, his face was still flushed from ridicule, but at this time, Huo Di stood up and said to Director Wang: "General, Xie Sanyang has something wrong, but I think he is still an excellent astronaut." The quarterly assessment is the first in the team, 'whether it is physical fitness, thinking spirituality or spiritual will, it is the best in the history of our Aerospace Bureau', which is also the original words of the director. But because of a little problem, you never let him actually go on a mission, as an astronaut, he never even left the earth, do you think it's fair to do this?"

The conference room suddenly became quiet again, because what Huo Xiaotong said was the truth. The Aerospace and Space Administration is full of talents, and the most indispensable thing is astronauts! However, the fact that the Aerospace and Space Administration has always been strict and does not tolerate Chinese soldiers whose lives are tainted by half a star, and the fact that Xie Sanyang has not been dismissed has fully demonstrated his excellence in other aspects.

Shaking his head, sighing, and thinking for a while, Director Wang said helplessly: "Okay, just him, you can't be too ruthless!"
