After leaving Dean Watt's office, Frank, the head of the scientific research team of the Astrophysics Special Projects team, was walking in the direction of the special projects team.

Yuan Haochen couldn't help but speed up his pace and followed closely.

Frank didn't say a word along the way, and he didn't even look back.

"Before I could figure out the situation, I somehow joined the special project team." Yuan Haochen was thinking about the words Justin said before going out, "Both are the leaders of the scientific research team, and the personalities of Frank and Justin are simply two extremes. ”

The various major departments and branches of the IEA's (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific base are strung together by an intricate network of underground passages.

It is extremely difficult for a newcomer to move freely through every corner of the base.

Luckily, there are detailed signage and electronic maps in each passage, so even if you get lost, you can apply for assistance through the communication tools at each gate.

Yuan Haochen began to admire the design and builder of this underground base more and more.

A quarter of an hour later, after traversing a large level, Hara followed Frank to the location of the Special Projects team.

The office and scientific research area of the entire special project team is generally presented as a huge shuttle shape with long sides and narrow middle, covering an area of about hundreds of thousands of square meters.

On the left side of the special project team area are the independent offices and laboratories of each scientist, while on the right side are the public areas, including the super laboratory, conference room, data room, entertainment and leisure area shared by the project team.

"Follow me." After entering the territory of the special projects team, Frank finally spat out these three words like gold.

Hara Haochen watched around while following Frank's pace.

The two then went to an office on the far left of the Special Projects area.

"From now on, this office space will be yours." Frank turned around, looked at Yuan Chen again, and said, "There are also independent supporting laboratories and storage rooms next to it, if you still have any questions, I will ask your assistant secretary later." ”

"Assistant Secretary?" Yuan Haochen was a little confused.

"yes, he should be in the office now, don't you want to go in and get to know him?" Frank chuckled.

"Okay, Team Leader Frank, thank you."

"Tomorrow morning the project team has a discussion meeting, remember to be on time." With that, Frank immediately turned and left.

Looking at Frank in the distance, Yuan Haochen sighed, he still felt confused.

"Anyway, let's take a look at my office first." Yuan Haochen thought to himself, and opened the door of the office.

"Hello, can I do something for you?"

The door opened, and a slightly hoarse voice was heard.

Yuan Haochen followed the prestige, it was an old man in his sixties with gray sideburns, the old man's head was bald in the middle, it looked like a small court, surrounded by a circle of gray silver hair, his face was round, and the whole person looked very kind.

"Hello, I'm a new member of the special projects team, and I'll be working here from now on." Yuan Haochen said with a smile at the old man.

"My God, you look so young." The old man pushed his reading glasses and looked at Yuan Haochen carefully.

"My name is Yuan Chen, please take care of me in the future."

"Welcome, Mr. Hara Chen, you can call me Old Goethe." Old Goethe quickly got up from his chair and walked towards Yuan Chen, saying, "Oh, that's a hard name to pronounce." ”

"I'm from China, maybe you're not used to Chinese pronunciation." Yuan Haochen also felt very funny when he listened to the pronunciation of old Goethe.

"Oh, that's a very mysterious country in the East." Old Goethe said in surprise.

"Mr. Goethe, can you tell me about the situation here?"

"That's my pleasure, Mr. Hara." Goethe Sr. said as he made an inviting gesture.

"Sir, you see, your office is divided into four areas, the innermost one is your private office, and there are reception rooms and lounges next to it." The elder Goethe enthusiastically led the way and made an introduction, "I believe you will be interested in this study, Johann was very satisfied before." ”

"Mr. Goethe, can you tell me who Johann is?" Yuan Haochen asked suspiciously.

"Of course, John was the last scientist in this office." "He was a very nice guy to get along with, we were both from Germany, and he always took good care of me," Goethe Sr. continued, with a smile on his face. ”

"And where has Mr. John gone now?" Yuan Haochen asked with interest.

"Oh, Mr. John is a good man, he shouldn't have left everyone so early." At this point, old Goethe's expression became a little sad.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Goethe, for reminding you of something sad."

"No, Mr. Hara, please don't mind. It's been more than two years since that accident, and I hope John is happy in heaven. ”

"What kind of accident is it?"

"Mr. John was involved in a space exploration project two years ago, and unfortunately, the spacecraft had an accident in space, and everyone paid with their lives"

"I'm sorry."

"John's office and lab have been vacant here since he left." Goethe Sr. adjusted his mood and continued, "Maybe I'm too old, and none of the other new scientists chose me as an assistant secretary. ”

"Mr. Yuan Haochen, you are really a good person." At this point, the elder Goethe's eyes almost sparkled.

"Ah~, no, you've really won a prize." Although Yuan Haochen said politely, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, it seems that Goethe Lao didn't know that he was just a character who was arranged at will, and the fact that Goethe Lao Goethe partnered with him was just an accident.

"By the way, as a logistics staff, can't you apply to return to your hometown after 10 years of service?" Yuan Haochen asked suspiciously.

When the elder Goethe heard this, he sighed and told an old story about him.

"I was born in Germany in the 80s, before the Berlin Wall was torn down and Germany was divided into the Federal Republic and the GDR. On the eve of the merger of the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR, the turbulent society ~ caused me to lose all my loved ones. Since then, I have been an orphan, and as I have grown older, I have become more and more disillusioned with life. It was around the beginning of the 21st century that I learned about the IEA organization and applied to join the IEA as a support staff. At the end of my 10-year service, I realized that I didn't like the outside world, so I applied to stay at the base for a long time. Then I met John."

"I see." Yuan Haochen nodded and said, "By the way, Mr. Goethe, does each member of the science group have an assistant secretary?" ”

"Yes, every scientist has a full-time assistant secretary. In addition, there are many support staff in public positions in the special projects team. ”

"Okay, thank you Goethe, you have told me a lot of useful information. Please continue to take me to the lab. “

"I'm willing to serve you, please go this way." Goethe gestured with his hand
