As mentioned earlier, the Daystar transformation eighty years ago united the experts of the two countries of the Empire and the Federation, mainly to reflect the determination of the two sides to jointly develop the interstellar peace. However, eighty years later, the Daystar upgrade project was carried out without inviting experts from the Federation, and the main consideration was that the second-generation energy conversion technology was the exclusive top secret of the Empire, and nothing was to be leaked. However, at the same time, in order to get a glimpse of the second-generation energy conversion technology, the Federation proposed to the Empire to investigate the Daystar upgrade plan. Since the two sides are still in the peaceful stage, the Empire cannot directly refute the Federation's willingness to investigate, after all, people have not directly said that I want to come to see your second-generation energy conversion technology.

The federal delegation soon came to Daystar, and they didn't even go to the imperial capital, and the members of the delegation were all senior technicians and elites. To this end, the Empire also sent a reception group composed entirely of elite personnel. Yes, the Empire's coping strategy is one-on-one stalking, and each member of the Federal Expedition will be equipped with a member of the Imperial Reception Group of the same level to receive it, which is called warm hospitality, but in fact it is surveillance, and it is resolute not to let any Federation personnel have access to the second-generation energy conversion technology.

It was in this context that Xiao Ai was brought to Daystar by Team Leader Ace, and they arrived two days earlier than the federal delegation. She doesn't belong to the imperial stalkers, she purely goes to do reception work, sometimes she is responsible for records and other miscellaneous things, the federal delegation really needs reception personnel, but the nominal reception staff is actually not really engaged in reception work, so the reception chores are done by junior students like Xiao Ai.

During Xiao Ai's arrival at the stars, the remaining second batch of mutated Portis oranges will be shipped by Lori, and the two Portis oranges in the dormitory will be taken care of by Perlan.

Xiao Ai is still looking forward to the reception of Daystar, on the one hand, it is the first time for her to contact these big scenes in the interstellar, on the other hand, her work is not complicated, so the pressure is not great.

When the interstellar ship on which the federal delegation was traveling landed on the Daystar tarmac, all the Imperial high-precision personnel who were responsible for receiving them on the surface were already waiting in the waiting area. The head of the delegation was the first to step out of the ship and walked to the Deputy Minister of Imperial Ceremonies, who was waiting for the present, and after the two shook hands, the other members of the delegation also walked out of the ship one after another. The expedition was an unofficial cultural and scientific exchange event, so the Empire did not send more senior officials to receive it, and the main person in charge of the reception was the Imperial University.

The head of the federal mission was none other than Curtis, the rector of the University, the highest university in the Federation. Brown. The reason for the fact that the Meier Family Foundation makes a large annual donation to Meier University, but the Meier family does not actually hold any management positions at Meier University.

However, there was really one Mel on the federal mission, and he was Grandley. Mel, born into the Orthodox Mel family, is a senior fellow at the Federal Academy of Sciences. This Mel is one of the Empire's key targets this time, because Mr. Mel, as a Federal Outstanding Young Scientist, is also ambitious in the field of energy conversion.

After a simple welcome ceremony, the dean of the Academy of Sciences of the Imperial University first led the delegation to visit the general command center of the upgrade plan, mainly introducing the various high-tech instruments of the command center, such as real-time monitoring, various long-distance robot operations, holographic image scanning, etc., and the dean even spent half an hour with great interest to introduce the various exercise facilities on the top floor of the command center to the delegation for the staff to rest and exercise, in order to show the Empire's concern for the combination of work and rest of the working people. The members of the federal delegation also listened carefully and were full of interest, and even actively asked questions, which was a scene of joy for both guests and hosts.

"It's all acting." Xiao Ai's companion Nana complained to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai and her friends usually do not appear around the inspection group and the reception group, they mainly do some auxiliary work, and usually only look at it from a distance.

"Anyway, we don't have anything to do, and we don't have to go forward." Xiao Ai said to Nana while eating a snack. This time, the Imperial University made a lot of money and brought a lot of rich food, drinks, fruits, etc. from the imperial capital, just to put on a warm welcome to the delegation, and Xiao Ai and they also took advantage of it.

"I'm not here to see a handsome guy." Nana craned her neck and glanced in the direction of the delegation.

"Who, Mr. Mel?"

"I haven't heard of Mr. Mel who he is." Nana shook her head.

"I listened to what Senior Ace said," Xiao Ai asked, "Then which handsome guy are you talking about?" ”

"It's not which, it's which." Nana's eyes lit up, "There is a Professor Nas who they call the first handsome man in the Federation on this federal expedition, and our Imperial University has also sent our most handsome Professor Mogg. ”

"Who?" Xiao Ai pouted, why did she think of the flower peacock for the first time.

"It's normal that you don't know if you're a planetary geology major, these two professors are both space physics majors." Nana is also a freshman majoring in space physics.

"I don't know when I'll hear your lectures again, but I feel that it has benefited a lot every time." Unlike the handsome guy in Nana's mouth, Professor Nas and Professor Mogg are actually middle-aged, although they are personable, but for people of their age and status, it doesn't matter whether they are handsome or not, even if it is a competition, it must be an academic chase after me. This time, Professor Nass came with a mission and took the initiative to talk to his old rival, Professor Mogg.

Professor Mogg was also very respectful, smiling and saying kindly, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we must have a few drinks at the welcome banquet in the evening." ”

Xiao Ai didn't need to attend the welcome banquet in the evening, so after dinner, he and his roommates returned to Daystar's temporary dormitory to prepare for an early rest.

However, they were soon woken up by the sound of sirens, and the reception was not destined to be smooth sailing.
