Chapter 689 Supporting Role? Protagonist.
A blonde woman with glasses came to Chen Bin's desk and asked politely, "Can I sit here for a while?" ”
As soon as she spoke, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then asked, "Can you understand English?" ”
Chen Ting nodded, her English foundation is not bad, although it is not as good as Qiao Xingyu and Zhang Dada, but there will be no problem with basic oral communication.
The blonde woman got the other party's answer, and then sat down next to her, she stared at Meng Jie for a moment, and finally said in a sure tone, "It's you, that's right." ”
Meng Jie also recognized the woman sitting over at this time, he pointed his finger at the other party and thought about it for a long time but didn't remember her name.
"You remember me, right?" Seeing that Meng Jie had an impression of herself, the blonde woman's expression was a little excited, "I'm really lucky to meet you here." ”
Chen Tingliu next to her raised her eyebrows, staring at Meng Jie's eyes with a gloomy color, as if to say, "What other excuse do you have this time?" ”
Seeing that Meng Jie couldn't hold back a sentence for a long time, Chen Ting took the initiative to ask, "Are you?" ”
"I'm Martin, Martin Linda. I met this gentleman at the Houston Institute. The blonde woman said her identity, and Meng Jie also patted her head and said, "I can't remember your name for a while just now, but it's really familiar, I know it when you say that." ”
Chen Ting translated Meng Jie's words to Martin, who smiled after listening, "It's hard to imagine that we can meet again." ”
"Well, having said that, we don't know each other too well, so I don't know what you're up to?" Meng Jie was worried that Chen Ting would misunderstand again, so he hurriedly clarified the relationship.
"Yes, I beg your pardon," Martin said with a slight apology on his face, "You seem to be the only person I've seen in the camp before, and I'm looking for you to ask you about someone." ”
"Who?" Hearing that Martin was here to inquire about others, Meng Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Chen Ting, and handed over a "Look, you have wronged me" look.
"Rick, you know him, right," Martin asked, and it suddenly occurred to her that Rick might not be called this name in China, so she quickly changed her words, "His Chinese name is Cai Wenyue." ”
"It turns out that you want to inquire about Brother Wen Yue," Meng Jie nodded, "I know him very well." ”
"Cough," Chen Bin coughed suddenly, he was reminding Meng Jie to pay attention to some things kept secret from the outside world. Cai Wenyue is the head of security in Chongming for this "Glacier Operation", and now that a foreign woman has come to inquire about him, it is natural to pay attention to it.
"Where is he now? Are people okay? Martin asked.
"Well, he's fine now, man...... People are in Chongming. Meng Jie closed his mouth after saying this, not planning to reveal another word.
"That's good," Martin's face showed a happy look of wish, and she also saw that Meng Jie didn't want to say more about Cai Wenyue's matter, so she got up and left.
"Strange people." Chen Ting muttered quietly.
"Will there be anything between her and Brother Wen Yue?" Da Fei suddenly gossiped.
"When you say this, it seems that there is a little bit of it," Chen Ting suddenly became interested when she heard him say this. "Just now she came over and only inquired about Brother Wen Yue, knowing that Brother Wen Yue left after Chongming, looking at her expression, it seems that she cares about Brother Wen Yue very much."
"Don't look at me like that, I really don't know," Meng Jie shook his hand, "When I was in the United States, I, Lao Liu, and Zhao Kang had a fight with this Martin lady in a coffee shop, uh...... It's not like you think to fight, she should be a hacker, who was trying to hack into Zhao Kang's computer at the time, but Lao Liu's acting skills are very sharp, she pretended to accidentally spill coffee on her computer in the past, and then Brother Wen Yue went to the coffee shop, and he was still working as an undercover agent at the United States. ”
"There must be something strange about this matter," Chen Ting said with great interest, "When we meet Brother Wen Yue, let's ask him directly." ”
Cai Wenyue didn't know that he had now become the topic of conversation in Chen Bin's mouth, he was sitting in the office a little distracted, and on the table in front of him was a list of the registered members of the United States Mission.
"Martin ......," Cai Wenyue's mouth softly pronounced the name, and the thoughts in his mind had flown to months ago.
He had just escaped the Houston Institute's data center building and was running wildly on his way to the parking lot. Suddenly a voice behind him called out his name, he looked back, he thought that it was the last impression left by the two of them in each other's minds, who had ever wanted to make people, this time Martin actually came to Chongming.
According to the information Cai Wenyue obtained earlier, most of the members of the mission were from Washington, and he really didn't expect Martin's name to appear in this list. Cai Wenyue left as an enemy or a traitor from Houston, so he didn't know how the two would meet if he met Martin this time.
If it was the first part, it might be the best ending, no embarrassment, no resentment, everything just stayed in their own memories, waiting for time to slowly wash it away.
"Creation makes people," a sigh dissipated in the office, and the figures inside became more and more lonely.
From the next day, a number of missions arrived in Chongming Dongtan one after another, and the government sent special personnel to receive them, and these missions felt new to everything here when they came to the land of Chongming.
Along the roundabout, windmill-like wind turbines stand straight, and further inside, there are large green fields mixed with gold, all of which are ripe rice.
Different from the developed metropolises, when you first enter the land of Chongming, you are greeted only by the local atmosphere, but it is these local flavors that intoxicate the visiting guests.
"God, the Chinese have performed miracles here." On the way to the "joint battalion", there were people who made such exclamations. People who have lived in concrete cities for a long time tend to yearn for life in the countryside, and those who have experienced disasters will never forget these vibrant lands. They were amazed when they saw only a small corner of Chongming Dongtan, and the Chinese officials who accompanied them had smiles on their faces, and they had already begun to imagine what these guests would be like after seeing the development of Hengsha and Changxing.
In foreign countries, shelters are just shelters, and their role is only a barrier for humans to resist zombies. Even if it is as strong as a country, it can only rely on the abundant waterway capacity of the Mississippi River basin to connect several large bases, and then improve the standard of living by exchanging the materials produced by each of these bases.
Chongming is the only one in the world that can achieve self-sufficiency and people live and work in peace and contentment as they did before the disaster.
A week later, when all the national delegations that participated in the exchange conference arrived in Chongming, the second post-disaster global conference after the Houston exchange conference in the United States began.
The venue of the conference was inside the Dongtan International Conference Center, where Huaguo was ready.
The first person to walk on the podium was Dr. Qin Yi, the head of the Yenching Genomics Institute in Changping District, who gave a speech before the opening with humor, and then he invited the protagonist of the conference, Zhang Dada.
"I have the impression that this professor with a nose at Huaguo University," whispered among the members of the audience, "what he is going to talk about on stage must be related to language, could it be alien writing?" ”
The attendees were elites from all over the world, including those who attended the last Houston conference, and they were particularly impressed by Zhang, who showed a talent for language at that conference.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as the content of the project at the top of the meeting, what I am going to reveal to you is the mystery of some alien characters." Zhang Dada stood on the podium and confidently introduced it with a microphone.
The last time he was sitting in the audience, this time he walked to the front of the stage, and it was a lie to say that he was not nervous, but compared to being able to disclose his research results to the world, this nervousness was not enough in the face of excitement.
"Wow~!" Although most people guessed that it was related to alien writing, everyone couldn't help but exclaim. It has been nearly half a year since George Mather published those texts, but there is little progress in everyone's research, and it is shocking that this genius linguistics professor in China has actually cracked those texts.
And the most surprising thing is that he wanted to make public the results of the decipherment of these words at the conference, and Hua Guo even agreed to let him do so.
It is said that science has no borders, but scientists have their own nationality, and Zhang Dada's behavior and the support of the state are undoubtedly the greatest kindness that China has shown to the world.
For a while, the audience applauded like thunder, Zhang Dada's face was slightly red because of excitement, he took advantage of the applause to try to calm his mood, and then began to state his scientific research results.
"First of all, I would like to thank Dr. George Mather, even though he was not able to come to Chongming this time. If it weren't for the extraterrestrial writings he had previously revealed to us, I am afraid that today's conference would not have been possible. It is precisely because of these texts as the basis for my research that I have been fortunate enough to get a glimpse of its mysteries. ”
The last time in Houston, the two countries had some contradictions because of espionage, and then everyone tacitly tacitly agreed on the surface.
The purpose of the conference was to bring together the world's last remaining countries to promote the Glacier Initiative, so it was important to look to the future and put aside some of the preconceptions that existed with each other in due course.
