A visa is an endorsement or seal on the passport or other travel documents held by a country's sovereign authority to indicate that they are allowed to enter or leave the country's territory or go through the formalities of the country's border, and it can also be said to be an endorsement-type certificate issued to them.

Only the immigration authorities of one country can apply visas to the passports of citizens of other countries.

Immigration authorities include, but are not limited to, consulates, border control, immigration bureaus, etc.

In view of the fact that Xiang Shan's passport was obtained in Beijing, it can basically be acquiesced that when the Republic made these passports, it greeted the embassies of those countries.

In other words, the very fact that they came here was known and approved of by the United States.

Jing Hongtu glanced at Xiangshan, nodded approvingly, and then continued to walk forward, came to Professor Zhou's side, pulled him in, and said something softly.

Jing Hongtu is a member of the group of scholars, the oldest, and a member of the department, quite an identity. Although it is not a field, Professor Zhou can still listen to his persuasion to some extent.

Lao Liu looked at Xiang Shan suspiciously, and then smiled: "I can't see it, you kid is quite a general, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger." ”

"Where, where." Shaking his head towards the mountain. He knew in his heart that this was not because of how good his psychological quality was, but because he was sleeping just now and had not seen the confrontation of the aircraft carrier formation with his own eyes.

And those frightened scholars, when they let "fear" lead their thinking into the abyss, they are not yet sober.

Therefore, he lacks an intuitive feeling about this matter, and he has not been affected by the panic atmosphere, but can look at this fact more objectively.

"But you can't be too optimistic." Lao Liu sighed: "I don't think the two fleets are like they are carrying out tasks together in a cordial and friendly manner. We'll have to fight in a while. I remember saying before they came that they thought the project was meaningless and that they could withdraw at any time as long as they abided by the non-disclosure agreement......"

The current tension is not just talk.

The two fleets turned the things in the news into some kind of realistic force, and pressed heavily on everyone's chests.

"It's all here......" Xiang Shan smiled: "It's not easy to ......"

"You still have the heart to say strange things...... Lao Liu shook his head.

At this time, the tallest of the cadres stood up. He raised his hand, waved at the scholars, and said, "Teachers...... Comrades! Listen to me for now. ”

This cadre seems to have a peculiar ability, and his voice is not "full", but it is also loud enough to suppress the discussion of scholars.

The cadre said: "I know that all comrades have doubts in their hearts when they see what they have just seen. However, we have summoned you to participate in this project, and we are not lying to you to your death. Please do not question this point - after all, every comrade here is a pillar of the Republic in a certain field. We will not risk your lives. ”

"We still don't have the right to disclose any information about this project. I don't understand why, and maybe it's not entirely reasonable. But this is the result of negotiations between many countries. ”

"Of course, I don't deny that there is a certain danger in this project. Conflict is a real possibility. However, please rest assured that no matter what happens, our soldiers will do their best to escort you back safely! ”

The words of the old cadres played a little bit of a role. The crowd fell silent. Professor Zhou, Jing and other scholars also returned to their seats. The plane moved on.

But soon, a loud noise broke their composure once again.

On the left and right, a fighter jet pressed over. Xiang Shan could see that outside the porthole, an F-35C was slowing down, keeping parallel to the airliner and moving forward side by side.

Judging from the sound, it may be that there is also a fighter on the other side.

A fighter with a good aerodynamic shape, if it appears in a picture, is a work of art condensed by industrial aesthetics.

But when it's around you and ready to fire, your brain doesn't have time to appreciate any industrial aesthetics.

"Please don't panic, teachers." Officer Hu stood up again: "This is just here to escort!" They're just escorting! ”

Having said that, Director Hu's forehead was still slightly sweaty.

At this time, one of the front-line personnel did not restrain and fired the first shot, so no one knows what will happen later.

This has not happened ever before in history.

Fortunately, the plane quickly entered the hovering phase, and then slowly lowered its altitude. At a time when the details of the airfield were clearly visible, several fighters quickly pulled up the altitude. The plane landed smoothly.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Officer Hu stood up and said to everyone: "Now we have arrived in Indonesia. The climate here is quite different from Beiping, and the maximum temperature is already more than 30 degrees. Before you get off the plane, you can change out of your summer clothes. Ten minutes later, we got off the plane in an orderly manner. ”

The scholars changed their clothes in a hurry. And those cadres took the first step and stepped off the plane.

Under the plane, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms and blue berets lined up to welcome them.

Standing at the head of the line were several officers, and at the head of the left was an officer. He wears the United Nations flag on his right arm and the flag of the United States on his left arm. Judging by the uniform, this non-commissioned officer was originally subordinate to the United States Air Force.

He stepped forward, saluted the representative of the republic, and held out his hand.

The old cadre also stretched out his hand. The two hands clasped together like this.

"Welcome. I am the Commander of the Defence Force of the United Nations Rama Special Project, Dan Evans. The officer smiled not so sincerely: "Friends, on behalf of the United Nations Office for Project Services, I would like to welcome you to the Rama Special Project. ”

The veteran cadre smiled and replied: "Hello, my name is Wang Yiren, former deputy director of the Department of Foreign Security Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and now I am sent by the Republic to join the United Nations 'Rama Special Project'. From now on, we will be colleagues. ”

The two hands were tightly clasped together and shook vigorously.

After going through a series of prescribed procedures, the formation retreated. Two buses approached slowly. Staff began to guide the scholars to the bus.

The moment he stepped on the ground, Xiang Shan felt the air hot, as if his hair was about to curl. He looked at the troops not far away with completely different skin colors and faces, which seemed to be improvised patchwork, and he also sensed the mutual vigilance within that team.

Beside him, Jing Hongtu, a member of the school department, sighed: "It's all at this juncture, and I don't want to think about what is in front of me......"

Xiang Shan's eyes lit up and chased after him: "Teacher Jing, you know something, right?" ”

"I just inquired about it. When they got there, they were willing to reveal a little more. Jing Hongtu said with a smile: "They call this the 'Rama Project' - if the place we want to go to is not an Indian mythology theme park, or a Hindu mythological technology site, then this 'Rama' is probably another meaning." By the way, I asked before, and the scholars who came this time did not have experts in Sanskrit. ”

Rama, the protagonist of the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana", the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, one of the three gods of Brahmanism, has more than half the power of Vishnu, and is also the great god revered by the Rama sect of Hinduism.

However, if this project is really related to Hindu mythology, then it is impossible not to bring a few experts in Sanskrit with you.

Xiang Shan secretly admired the old man's means of inquiring about the news, but said, "If it weren't for that 'Rama'...... Could it be ......?"

Jing Hongtu stopped, his eyebrows raised slightly: "I guess it should be 'that Rama' - Sir Clark's 'that Rama'." ”

Arthur C. C. Clarke, an English writer, was one of the greatest science fiction writers of the twentieth century and was first knighted in England for his literary achievements. His late work, Meeting Rama, is one of the greatest novels of the entire twentieth century.

"Meeting Rama" tells the story of an asteroid named "Rama" that after approaching the solar system, humans discovered that it was a man-made object and explored it later.

Xiang Shan couldn't help but clench his fists, and for a moment, he even forgot about the environment he was in.

This almost proves his previous guess!

Really...... It's really aliens!

For a moment, Xiang Shan felt a dazzle. This feeling only lasted for a moment, and even made people think that it would be their own delusion.

However, Xiang Shan has a feeling......

After that moment...... After his guesses were confirmed, the way he saw the world changed slightly.

"Alien creatures or creatures...... Actually appeared in front of humans......"

"It's hard to imagine what kind of impact this is going to have on humanity." Jing Hongtu said: "But I think that history has turned a new page - our next generation will look at the universe in a completely different way from us." ”

Dan Evans happened to be passing by Jing Hongtu and Xiang Shan. Hearing the conversation between the two, he smiled and pointed in one direction.

As far as the eye could see, he saw a white ...... Sharp large buildings.

Dan Evans saluted in that direction and said in broken Hindi, "Long live Lord Rama." ”

Jing Hongtu and Xiang Shan also got into the car. After Xiaohu counted the number of people, the bus started slowly.

Then, a foreign officer sitting on the bus stood up.

"Welcome, friends from China." The bearded young man opened his arms enthusiastically: "I'm a researcher at the Rama Project, David Klein. Before arriving at the registration desk, allow me to give you a basic overview of the Rama Project. ”
