Chapter 2: See you again
"Base X has arrived." The sound of the computer woke Liu Yiting from her sleep, she was so tired, she opened her hazy eyes, a feeling of sleepiness swept over her body, and her soft limbs were like a thousand catties. The vehicle slowly drove into the passage on the middle floor of a tall building. The glass cover opened, and Liu Yiting stepped out of the traffic.
The passage was like daylight, Liu Yiting felt that the light was a little dazzling, maybe it was because she had just woken up, she rubbed her eyes, and at the end of the passage was a door. Liu Yiting pressed a finger on the control panel of the door, and the device next to her shot a red ray that scanned her from head to toe. The door opened, and Liu Yiting walked in.
It's a hall. Although the hall is large, only a few people walk through it. A wheeled intelligent service robot greeted him.
"Hello Professor Liu, you are late, Professor Cheng is waiting for you. Please follow me. β
"I'm sorry." Liu Yiting followed the wheeled robot through the hall to the door of another vehicle. The wheeled robot stretched out its finger, and an electronic port appeared on the front of its finger, which was inserted into a socket in the control panel of the vehicle's doorway, and the door opened.
"The destination has been entered, happy work."
"Thank you." Liu Yiting entered the traffic machine and sat down. The vehicle runs vertically downwards. After a while, Liu Yiting came to the core area of Base X-Experimental Control Center. It is located 300 meters underground.
The hatch opened, Liu Yiting stepped out of the transporter, and Professor Cheng was already waiting at the door.
"Hello mentor," Liu Yiting looked very respectful.
"Hello, don't say much politely, the exploration 3 spacecraft is about to be completed, and the exploration plan of the WXRJH research team of the National Space Administration is about to be implemented, but the problem is that the destination of the exploration plan has not yet been determined, and we have been studying the star map for all these years, but there has been no answer. Therefore, space deployment believes that it is necessary to immediately tackle key problems, establish exploration destinations, and implement exploration plans as soon as possible. Professor Cheng was obviously a little worried, and the two walked forward side by side.
"In addition to the original WXRJH members, the military has added a new member directly to the group." After Professor Cheng finished speaking, he observed Liu Yiting's expression with the peripheral light of his eyes.
"The military? What does the exploration program have to do with the military? Isn't the power of the military big enough? Liu Yiting was a little surprised and impatient, she is just a scientist, and she has always been more averse to politics and the military.
"The exploration program has always been led by the military behind the scenes, and the WXRJH team was formed at the strong request of the military. The military moved its own personnel to the WXRJH team in an apparent attempt to strengthen control over the project. Professor Cheng stopped and said to Liu Yiting: "I must remind you that you are a scientist, and you should not express your tendencies too much about politics. β
Liu Yiting knew in her heart that what she just said was a bit reckless, and the mentor in front of her was still trying his best to protect herself. The two of them walked to the end of the passageway, and the hatch opened, a conference room with white Belle chairs arranged in a circle, and no conference table in the middle. There were already three people waiting in the conference room, namely Dr. Han Wei, Dr. Zhang Lei and Dr. Chen Wenjing (female). Together with Professor Cheng and Liu Yiting, all the members of the WXRJHI team are here.
"Please be seated, everybody." Professor Cheng sat in the white Belle chair in the middle, and the others sat on either side in turn.
A three-dimensional holographic display screen is installed in the ceiling directly above the conference room. A holographic operation panel appeared in front of Professor Cheng, and he pressed a "key" on the panel with his finger, and the three-dimensional holographic display screen projected the image of a huge and advanced spaceship, rotating in all directions from time to time. This advanced spaceship is more like a submarine in appearance, it is large, hammer-shaped, except that its tail is flat and wide, which is a powerful power system.
"Exploration 3 is nearing completion, and you have the honor of being part of its crew. Exploration 3 is equipped with state-of-the-art power, communications, and weapons systems, as well as advanced medical and escape systems, to ensure your survival. The purpose of this exploration project is to prove that there is indeed a sapient life form with three eyes on a planet in the universe, and they may have been in contact with us for a long time. But the problem is that our destination has not yet been determined. Because we have so little information, we have invested a lot of time, manpower and money and still haven't found this planet. Exploratory 3 is nearing completion, and the exploration program must be carried out on time, so the rest of the time will be spent working together to study and determine the destination of the exploration program. Speaking of this, Professor Cheng looked around.
"I would also like to remind everyone that we are running out of time. Tea, thank you. The robotic hand on the inner wall of the chair where Professor Cheng was sitting immediately filled a cup of tea. Professor Cheng took a sip.
Liu Yiting is very excited, this is her dream for many years (to explore the planet of the Three-Eyed Man).
"Also, the military recommended a young scientist for our WXYJH group, and this is his information." Professor Cheng pressed the holographic control panel, and the projector immediately projected an image of the scientist with a text description.
"Li Jin, born on the γγγγγγ of X year X month X" (Computer's voice).
"Li Jin? How could it be him. Liu Yiting blurted out, "Oh, I'm sorry. Liu Yiting immediately calmed down.
γγγγγγ
"Li Jin, please come in," Professor Cheng pressed the control panel again, and the door of the conference room opened, and a young man walked in.
"Hello everyone,,,,,, Professor Liu, we meet again." Li Jin is still sunny on his face.
"Sit down." Professor Cheng took another sip of tea. "From tomorrow, everyone will officially put into work, if anyone needs anything, they can come to me directly, and I will provide it to everyone as much as possible."
γγγγγγ
"Can you arrange my bedroom next door to Professor Liu, I have a lot of questions for Professor Liu." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Adjournment." Professor Cheng got up and walked straight to the door of the conference room, obviously not very happy with the frivolous young man. The WXRJH members leave the room one by one.
Han Wei hurriedly caught up with Liu Yiting in front, "Yiting, long time no see, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine, thank you." Liu Yiting quickened her pace, it was obvious that she was avoiding Han Wei.
"Are you free tonight? I think there are some misunderstandings between us that have not been resolved. Han Wei followed closely.
"There was no misunderstanding between us, and I have an appointment tonight and don't have time." Liu Yiting was a little impatient.
"We need to sit down and talk about γγγγγγ"
"Professor Liu is going to have dinner with me tonight, if you don't mind, we need a space of our own." Li Jin didn't know when he followed,
"You γγγγγγ with her" Han Wei felt a little incredible. WXRJH members have been working together for years, and the new member in front of him, Li Jin, has just joined the group.
"Yes, me and him... Is there a problem? Liu Yiting actually leaned her body on Li Jin, Li Jin took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms, and the two looked at each other and smiled and walked away with each other. Han Wei couldn't believe everything in front of him, he stood there blankly, watching the background of the two of them fade away.
Escaping Han Wei's entanglement, Liu Yiting immediately broke free from Li Jin's embrace, "Thank you." Liu Yiting's face was sad.
"It's an honor." Li Jin behaved very easily. "You two used to know each other?" He was a little curious.
"To be exact, he and I used to be lovers." Liu Yiting lowered her head, obviously that experience was not good.
"Can we have dinner tonight?" Li Jin asked tentatively.
"Okay." Liu Yiting's unthinking answer surprised herselfβhow could she easily agree to the unreasonable request of a little boy (in her eyes) who had only met once?
γγγγγγ
The WXRJH group members reunited, and Li Jin was able to join in a special capacity. And there seems to be some misunderstanding between Liu Yiting and Han Wei, what is the relationship between them?
