Wang Qifeng didn't know what was inside the express, but since it could be mailed by express, it must not be something terrifying. Thinking of this, he walked straight to the minister's office, although he knew that this was against the confidentiality management regulations, but this was the fastest way to get the information inside, so that he could bypass the layers of confidentiality authority and see the content of it for the first time.

Knocking on the office door, Wang Qifeng glanced at it and found that there was no one else except the minister, so he was relieved.

"Discovery?" The minister glanced at him.

"Well, look at this." Wang Qifeng put the mail on the minister's desk and put on a cautious posture. As the backbone of the front-line echelon of the national security department, Wang Qifeng has a very tacit relationship with the old minister, so after seeing his posture, the minister no longer pursues the compliance of the procedure, and picks up the express without thinking.

"That number refers to this email?" The minister stared at the mail number and made out it.

"Yes, just received it, you look at the recipient's name." Wang Qifeng pouted at the envelope.

"Yue Changguang... Hiss... The minister's eyes narrowed, and he felt himself drawn into some elaborate game.

"Who else knows about this?"

"Not yet, I don't want to get involved too much, I will come to you directly after I find out."

Hearing this, the old minister nodded slightly, put the mail in his hand on the table, opened the drawer and took out two pairs of gloves, one for Wang Qifeng and one for himself. Then he carefully opened the delivery bag.

As expected, there were several pages of documents with a few pictures in them, and the old minister just glanced at them and knew that the matter was in trouble.

"Greetings, distinguished leaders of the state security services.

It's a bit abrupt to get in touch with you in such a way. However, due to the safety of the base, we had to minimize the risk of exposing ourselves to the public as much as possible. We would like to express our sincere apologies to you.

First of all, let me introduce myself, which is related to the future direction of cooperation, so I would like to make a commitment that what I say below is accurate and true.

You can think of us as a free organization, an organization whose ultimate purpose is to "lead humanity to the course of a new civilization." Of course, this is purely from the perspective of people's livelihood and society, and has nothing to do with politics. Therefore, please do not include us in the category of "evil cults," and if we have to express our stance here, then we will resolutely support your party's ruling program.

Secondly, I will explain to you the purpose of our organization.

The original intention of getting in touch with you is to use our ability to reach a long-term cooperation project with you, which will be very long, so long that maybe one generation, maybe several generations will dedicate their lives to it. And the scope of this project will also cover all aspects of current human activities, which is not an exaggeration. Rather, it is an area that your country is already doing and has already made a difference:

Manned spaceflight.

I think you have already obtained some graphic information about "us" when you read this letter, and in order to let you see the current situation of "us" more clearly, here are some pictures for your reference.

(Several photographs and captions of the lunar base)

As you can see, the current facilities are still very rudimentary, but fortunately, we have enough time and energy to invest in building it into a real 'permanent station' and use it as a basis to help humanity truly "colonize" the moon.

However, you should understand that this is a long-term and huge project, and few civil society groups can complete it on their own, which is one of the reasons why we have reached out to you, after all, we cannot hand this project to a mad country that acts in a radical way, or a fighting people who sell their technology after the disintegration. So looking at the world, your country is the most space-minded government among the stable and creative countries, and it is also the most cohesive country.

I need to remind you that you don't have to deconstruct the buildings in the photos, they are real creations of the earth, and all the technology used in them comes from existing civilizations.

However, this is not the case with their mode of transportation.

Yes, we can transport a small part of the item there at a time, without anyone noticing, and with a very high level of safety, it won't explode halfway through, and it won't malfunction, at least for now.

But that's a drop in the bucket for us. It's so slow, so slow that our pace of construction stands still, and our desire to accelerate the progress of human civilization becomes distant.

Maybe you will question our motives, why change the course of civilization? This is obviously a thankless task. But, as you may know, or you don't realize, our reason is simple: the planet is running out of resources.

From wood to coal to oil, almost all of what human beings consume is the energy that has been deposited on the earth by the sun after hundreds of millions of years, and these things will always be exhausted one day.

However, this is only one of the factors that will prevent us from leaving the planet, if we add in other considerations such as population expansion, life expectancy, global warming, and so on. We really doubt that the next generation will live in a dark world.

This may be our pessimistic conjecture, but in such a predicament, every time we think about it, it makes us feel uneasy, at least as far as we know so far, that humanity has hardly had access to resources beyond Earth.

We want to catalyze this process and help humanity break free from the shackles of gravity as soon as possible. However, the result of the deduction is very bad: with our extreme means of transportation, we can only approach this process from a neutral point of view, otherwise human greed will push us to become a group of viruses that dominate the moon, which may benefit us, but it will definitely not benefit humanity.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of non-interference in politics and non-monopoly, we can only retreat to the next best thing and assist the civil society to take this step, after all, we have at least mastered the key force to restrain the civil society, and can immediately recover it when it gets out of control.

Of course, we tried to do it, but the result was not ideal: almost no one was willing to dedicate their energy to the living environment of a few generations, they were concerned about whether they could get rice for dinner after today's work, and whether they could fill their stomachs.

What's worse is that we can't explain the greatness of the project, it's like a brain cell talking to a white blood cell in the body about where the body is going to feed, and how the food it gets will be converted into energy to drive the body to survive, it won't understand, or rather, it doesn't care.

However, this is a matter of survival, and it always needs to be faced, and someone always needs to stand up.

We can't hope for a new technology or chance in the future, after all, our heads are not rusty yet, and we can think about our future.

So, in view of this, we have decided to hide our whereabouts for the time being, and instead let intermediaries cooperate with your country. Of course, in order to prove that we are not a bunch of deceitful stealers, we will soon be offering a small gift as a sign of sincerity.

Regards.
