Chapter 394: Cooperation
There is not one, but two. One of them, a balding and old-looking old man, is Professor Shi Lei, the current president of the Federal Academy of Sciences, while the other middle-aged man in a suit is Dr. Sean, the president's special assistant.
Although they came together, they came for different purposes. The Federal Academy of Sciences invited Su Yichen and his wife to the Academy of Sciences to deal with some technical support, Su Yichen and his wife, as members of the first committee of the Federal Academy of Sciences, their position is still retained, and because of their return, it can be said that Su Yichen and his wife, including Kevin, who has returned to work at the Federal Academy of Sciences. The Adams trio are well-deserved veterans of the entire Academy of Sciences.
After Su Yichen and the others returned, the Homeland spaceship, including all the information and some rare materials they collected along the way in the universe, were all handed over to the Federal Academy of Sciences. After some explanation and guidance, and at the same time leaving Su Li as a technical assistance, Su Yichen and his wife returned to Shimen. However, with the deepening of many researches, although the Academy of Sciences has made great progress, it still encounters some difficulties in some issues, so it specially came to Shimen to ask Su Yichen and his wife for help, and hoped that they would return to the Academy of Sciences to continue to preside over the research work.
As for Dr. Sean's intentions, it is much more complicated, and the reason why he came to Su Yichen and his wife is mainly because of Tang Le. After Tang Le and the Homeland spacecraft returned to the solar system, he broke up with them when he was at the Pluto base, and he did not follow Su Yichen to Earth again, but went to the space city near the Pluto base to meet with the resident representative of the Blue Star civilization.
Tang Le's identity is very unusual, this is what Su Yichen knows, his disappearance was also a major event at the top of the Blue Star Civilization back then, and even because he influenced the Blue Star Civilization's policy change towards the Earth Civilization. Now, Tang Le's return is not only a surprise for the Blue Star Civilization. Coupled with his experience, it has attracted great attention from the high-level of the Blue Star civilization and the scientific community.
Of course, on the Homeland spaceship, or even the earlier Pioneer spaceship, Tang Le had promised Su Yichen that he would not reveal the key secrets of the Rand civilization in the Earth base to his civilization. And the returning Donle did the same. However, there are no restrictions on their experience in the Andromeda Galaxy, but this alone makes the high-level of the Blue Star civilization extremely shocked, because no one thought that the disappearance of the Rand civilization, which has disappeared in the galaxy for a long time and is considered the most mysterious event, has such an amazing inside story.
The cosmic civilization has made a breakthrough from the higher cosmic civilization, and even ascended to the dimension as a whole, so as to break away from this three-dimensional universe...... This is simply unimaginable in the eyes of the scientists of the Blue Star civilization. But the facts are in front of them, and all of Downle's experiences and stories prove this.
What makes the Blue Star civilization pay the most attention is the wormhole between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, as well as the civilization characteristics of the Andromeda Galaxy. Of course, it also includes the strangeness of the planet Galen and the original planet, as a medium cosmic civilization, the only goal of the Blue Star civilization is to evolve to a higher cosmic civilization, but now they see another more brilliant path, that is, to follow the footsteps of the Rand civilization, and finally become an existence out of this universe.
If the exact location of the wormhole can be obtained from the Earth civilization, the Blue Star Civilization can go to the Andromeda Galaxy for exploration. Moreover, on that pristine planet, the description of the person Su Yichen and the captured little guy they encountered also aroused the strong interest of the Blue Star civilization. Because of these reasons. The Blue Star Civilization specially sent high-level representatives, hoping to cooperate with the Earth Civilization. Explore the Andromeda Galaxy together to get the benefits they need.
"Mr. President is accompanying the visiting representatives of the Blue Star Civilization, and the other party wants you and your wife to attend together." Dr. Sean said politely, but as soon as his words fell, Professor Shi Lei was extremely dissatisfied: "How can this be done, the Academy of Sciences has been waiting for Mr. Su and Professor Luo to guide, science above all else, this is the foundation of the Federation." As for the diplomatic work, the specialized departments of the federal government should be in charge, can't you solve it? β
Dr. Sean just had a faint smile but didn't tell the difference, but his expression was expecting Su Yichen's decision.
"I've made a promise before from the Academy of Sciences." Su Yichen thought for a while and replied, Shi Lei was overjoyed as soon as he said this, but then Su Yichen asked: "Where is the negotiation between Mr. President and the other party?" β
"Mr. Sue. You......? Professor Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something Su Yichen waved his hand at him, signaling that he would not be impatient.
"The exact address has not yet been decided, but I think Mr. President can adjust it according to your ideas." Dr. Sean smiled knowingly.
"That'll do." Su Yichen also laughed at the same time: "In this way, arrange the place near the Academy of Sciences, and I don't participate in specific negotiation matters, just do what I can." After all, as you know, we are scientists, not politicians, and as Dean Shi said, some jobs are better done by the federal government. β
"Of course, this is no problem, the main purpose of the other party is just to ask some information about the Andromeda galaxy and wormholes." Sean nodded again and again, and Shi Lei didn't refuse when he heard this arrangement, after all, the negotiation between the federal government and the Blue Star Civilization is also an important matter, as long as it does not affect the work of the Academy of Sciences, everything is still negotiable.
The matter was settled, and Su Yichen and his wife left with Sean the next day, and Professor Shi Lei had already gone back in advance to make arrangements the day before. When he got on the fast car and listened to Dr. Sean talk about the negotiation schedule for Su Yichen, after listening to a few words, Su Yichen raised his eyes and looked at the other party.
"May I ask a question?"
"Of course." Dr. Sean replied without thinking about it.
"Has the federal government decided internally to cooperate with the Blue Star Civilization? I'm referring to the offer to explore the Andromeda system. β
"It's ......." Sean hesitated, and finally nodded and admitted, in fact, this matter will be known after the meeting between Su Yichen and Mr. President, and now it is only a little bit in advance.
This answer did not surprise Su Yichen, although he is not a politician, but after all, he also presided over the work of the 781 base at the beginning, and he has a little understanding of politics. Since both the federal government and the Blue Star Civilization have invited themselves to attend, the two sides have reached an agreement on the basis. Although from Su Yichen's heart. Exploring the Andromeda Galaxy was too dangerous, and they had to find the wormhole directly after obtaining the Homeland spaceship to leave, on the one hand, because of their intentions, and on the other hand, because of Galen's warning. With such a powerful civilization as the Rand civilization, Galen still encountered an accident in the Andromeda Galaxy, which led to his failure to be forced to ascend.
In addition to these, there is also the man from the original planet. Including the little guy who is now placed in the Academy of Sciences, their origin has not yet been clarified. This is also what Su Yichen is worried about. A Andromeda galaxy that is different from the Milky Way, some mysterious cosmic civilizations that even Galen has suffered a big loss, once they encounter something else, it is really hard to say whether the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization can escape in their entirety.
But he couldn't tell Sean these words, although he represented Mr. President, he was not Mr. President after all, not to mention that even President Stuart could not make a final decision on this matter. It is likely that the entire federal government at the top, including the parliamentary side, has already come to a conclusion. Otherwise, negotiations with the Blue Star Civilization would not have taken place.
Sighing lightly in his heart, Su Yichen didn't say any more, but talked about the topic elsewhere. It didn't take long for their speeding car to reach the area near the Federal Academy of Sciences.
"Captain! Professor Luo! β
"Tang Le, why are you here?"
As soon as they got off the flying car, Su Yichen and his wife heard a greeting, and when they looked up, they saw Tang Le and a few other people waiting for them early.
"The family's arrangement." Tang Le approached and replied with a wry smile, and then said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't worry, Captain." I only said what I should have said, and I didn't tell them anything else. β
"Thank you!" He patted Tang Le on the shoulder very gratefully. Su Yichen thought about it and frowned and reminded: "I have a general understanding of the content of this negotiation, but I think it is too hasty and reckless to do so?" As one of the members who has experienced travel, you should know that exploring the Andromeda galaxy can lead to many uncertainties, especially the special cosmic civilizations that Galen warned about, although we are lucky not to meet them, but you should not forget the original planet when you return. If only those civilizations were as powerful as Galen described. I'm afraid that neither of our two civilizations can compete with each other. β
"I warned about that, but ......." Tang Le shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "But...... I couldn't convince them at all, but the upper echelons of my civilization, including many scientists, believed that with the current scientific and technological strength of our Blue Star civilization, they were able to cope with most of the situation, and that space exploration was a very dangerous and unpredictable task. If you can obtain the entire information of the Andromeda system, and even establish a forward base or even an immigration base there, even if you can make the necessary sacrifices, you can bear it. β
Speaking of this, Tang Le shook his head again and sighed: "Actually, this point of view is not only our Blue Star Civilization that thinks so, but even the high-level aspects of your Earth Civilization think so. β
These words made Su Yichen speechless, and Luo Yan shook his hand heavily at this time, Luo Yan, who knew her husband's character, did not want Su Yichen to oppose this negotiation head-on because of some considerations. Whether it is for the Earth Civilization or the Blue Star Civilization, both sides attach great importance to this cooperation from the current situation, and the result is already doomed, if Su Yichen directly objected, he would cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
nodded silently, and told Luo Yan in this way that she knew what she knew. Then Su Yichen and his wife shook hands with several accompanying representatives of the Blue Star Civilization under Tang Le's introduction, and the two sides briefly exchanged a few words, and then went to the building not far away.
This time, the representatives sent by the Blue Star Civilization were extremely heavy, one of them directly represented the opinions of the three archons, while the other represented several important figures in the scientific community of the Blue Star Civilization. In addition to these two main representatives, there was also a delegation of more than 30 people, nearly half of whom were scientists and officials, and the rest were quite a few military personnel.
Such a high-level delegation is the first time since the contact between the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization, and it can also be seen that the Blue Star civilization attaches great importance to the Andromeda galaxy and artificial wormholes. Although the earth side is only a second-level cosmic civilization, the problem is that the earth side has the exact coordinates of the wormhole and a lot of information about the Andromeda galaxy. You must know that although Tang Le has followed Su Yichen and they have experienced, the real data is in the hands of Su Yichen, and these valuable information have become bargaining chips between the earth civilization and the blue star civilization, and the earth civilization also has a great interest in the Andromeda galaxy, including artificial wormholes, but it is impossible to directly explore the Andromeda galaxy by relying on the current strength of the earth civilization, so it is the best choice to work together with the blue star civilization to carry out this project in the eyes of the earth civilization.
Of course, this does not include the Homeland spacecraft. However, the Homeland spacecraft is now the most valuable asset of the Earth civilization, and it is impossible for the Earth civilization to take out the Homeland spacecraft to explore the Andromeda Galaxy. If an accident occurs and the Homeland spacecraft is lost, it will be an irreparable loss to the civilization of the earth, including the entire human race.
The whole negotiation could not be completed in one day, Su Yichen and the others met with each side of the negotiation on the day they arrived, chatted for a while, and then went to the Federal Academy of Sciences first. Regarding the core technical aspects of the negotiation, we have to wait for the high-level of the Earth Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization to negotiate all the other aspects before talking, which is also what President Situ Han expressed when he met Su Yichen and his wife alone.
When meeting alone, although Su Yichen did not raise objections to this plan, he still tactfully expressed his worries and concerns. However, Situ Han disagreed with his thoughts, his considerations and starting points were actually similar to those of the Blue Star Civilization, and even when consulting scientists, there were many experts who supported this plan, believing that the exploration of the Andromeda Galaxy was an opportunity for the further development of the Earth Civilization, and with the joint cooperation of the Blue Star Civilization, the scientific and technological strength of the Blue Star Civilization of the medium cosmic civilization was enough to deal with many accidents.
What's more, as the Blue Star civilization thought, space exploration is dangerous and possible to be sacrificed, but these dangers and sacrifices are worth it. Su Yichen's senseless worries and concerns are nothing more than the naΓ―ve thoughts of scientists in the eyes of President Stuart. (To be continued......)
