Chapter 52 The Ant Agreement (1) is reached
"Tell me about it."
Seeing that the other party softened his breath, Mike cheered up, raised his butt and moved his upper body closer to the table, he held the microphone in his left hand, and continued: "Hey, listen, Jing, I have a good impression of you, Kobe Bryant, Jason and we are, no matter what you say about your origins, but I think you are here as the vanguard of exploration like us." If you can come here with so many resources, you must have the country as a backing of technology and economy. β
The other party does not speak.
"Hey, are you listening?" He waited for a response with his eyes wide open.
"I'm listening."
"Well, in our country, since the discovery of the gold mines, the Department of Defense has developed a mining plan, and Rachel and Terry have been transferred by the FBI in the name of a defense project. After that, there will be a big guy carrying the army to mine, which is the first attempt in human history to build a spaceship that big. β
"How old?"
"It can carry 240 people."
βγβ
"In fact, the prototype map of this spacecraft and the technology NASA have been available for a long time, but there has never been a colonization plan and motivation to do such a big thing."
"About half a year ago, when you set off...... Yes...... Are you interested in what I'm talking about? β
ββ¦β¦ Go on. β
"The FBI suddenly announced that it was taking over NASA, and they had access to all of NASA's work emails and operational records, as well as direct orders. Because NASA was originally funded by the Department of Defense, these people have gone from behind-the-scenes bosses to the front desk as managers. Do you understand what I mean? β
"Understood."
"So, hey, I can tell you that your future fate is going to make you very uncomfortable."
"Oh?"
"Jonathan is going to have someone take you back to the United States and then lock you up on an island for life, just like you did with al-Qaeda. Until your country makes an exchange for better prisoners. β
ββ¦β¦β
"If country Z doesn't have a prisoner or information that he is interested in, then you're done."
ββ¦β¦β
"You know what? There is simply no way to reason with you. β
"It's ridiculous, I helped you investigate the scene, to carry the bodies, and my men and I almost lost our lives to the tornado. Are we going to be judged by you? β
"I know it's ridiculous, but the world is like that, you happen to be close to our people and have a motive...... But I can get you out of the way. The premise is that you help my friends to transport their bodies back to Earth and give them to their families. β
"And then?"
"Then I can get you to hide on the space station, and that big ship will land directly on Mars without passing through the space station, so they can't find you, and there's no way to do anything."
"What about me?"
"You live with me, and then let country Z send a spaceship to pick you up. I can stay here for as long as you want, and if you have enough food, I can't feed you, or you'll be exposed. β
"Then what if the Ministry of State Z sends a ship to pick me up?"
"Don't be stupid, I'll definitely come to pick you up. You have first-hand information and intelligence, and you are also the only astronaut in country Z who has landing experience, these qualities make you worth a hundred times, any country that wants to land on Mars will pay a lot of money to hire you, if country Z does not want you, Japan, Germany and even Russia will send ships to pick you up I have no doubt at all. β
"If they had a boat."
"Oh, these countries have shuttle ships, the kind that travel between space stations, and they don't have the function of launching and landing."
ββ¦β¦ Give me some time to think about it. β
"Okay, please consider my words, I am willing to be your friend. I'll be a good friend. β
"What zodiac sign are you?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Uh, does it matter? I'm a Sagittarius. β
"Oh."
ββ¦β¦β¦β
"Wait for my news."
Mike breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the call, he was 90% sure that he was comfortable with the other party. Everything that can be done has been done, and the rest of the work is to wait.
He got up and went to the gym for a short run, stopped when his heart rate reached 180, and punched the sandbag for another ten minutes. Sweating, he felt much better now, and was just about to go to the shower and sleep, when a quiet voice sounded from the speaker.
"Mike, I've thought about it, and I'm accepting your offer."
YesοΌ YesοΌ That's right!
"Thanks, Jing, believe me it was the right decision......"
"When are they coming?"
"Arrive in about five months."
"Then, I'll bring the body back then, and you can contact your shuttle bus to pick up the body now."
"Haha, okay, you're a fast learner. That's right, that's how we work. Welcome to the World Space Organization. β
"Ahh I'm not going to join you trusts. β
"Haha, very humorous, that's what I'll say. Uh, do you have anything you're looking for? Do I let the shuttle bring? Not too Chinese and feminine? β
"Chocolate and cola, lots and lots of Coca-Cola. Flower pots, lots of flower pots. An iPhone and a SIM card with unlimited balance. That's it. Unisex perfume, BOSS's set. β
Mike took a sheet of A4 paper from a stack of A4 paper next to his computer and said as he jotted it down quickly with a pencil, "Okay...... Good...... None of this should be a big deal. β
"What size shoes do you wear?"
"43 yards? How do you want shoes? You may not be able to wear my shoes......"
Fang Wenjing covered the microphone and asked Xiao Wu: "Can you wear size 43 shoes?" β
Xiao Wuyi was stunned, and then said: "It's a little bigger, 42 can wear it!" β
Fang Wenjing: "What about Xiaoliu?" β
Xiao Liu said: "I can only be the maximum 42." β
Fang Wenjing: "Mike, two pairs of size 42 space shoes." β
"Uh, okay. Anything else? β
"Cooking utensils, a set of pots, a spatula, a plate and a set of kitchen knives. Bottle, pepper, sugar, salt, pasta. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
"Is that okay? I didn't ask for rice, so I shouldn't be able to see that it was a list from country Z, right? β
"It's very suspicious, I don't cook, everyone knows it."
"Then you'd better order another recipe to disguise it."
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'll try. β
"That's all for now."
"Okay, I'll send it to the headquarters right away, the shuttle will leave tomorrow with something, it is expected to arrive in five months, and you will have to wait for the next trip if you need it later."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
ββ¦β¦ Is that shuttle remotely controlled or is it operated by a real person? β
"Someone's."
"Then tell him to bring four more coffins, if he doesn't want to be intimate with the corpse."
"Okay, very thoughtful, I'll take note of it."
"Happy weekend Mike and good night.
"You too, good night."
