On the other hand, the delegation from Earth was almost at the end of its trip, and Foreign Minister Ba Qinyuan duly invited the delegation of only 29 people to lunch (Ruyi City time). Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Regardless of whether the Iridium food is delicious or not, it is an alien dish, which also makes a group of visitors quite novel. It's just that during the banquet, most people are preoccupied and forced to laugh, and it is obvious that the scene of parasites coming out of people's heads still makes some people feel palpitations.

Lunch is served in a buffet style, with a variety of dishes suspended in mid-air, chosen by the people, and the bionic waiters refill the drinks for the visitors. Iridium people do not drink alcohol during working meals, so they do not serve alcohol. What was very convenient for the members of the delegation was that they were actually constantly moving and talking on this occasion, and people could easily push the floating tables and chairs, and then chat, eat and drink in different places. After standing up, the suspended table and chair automatically retracted, so as not to make the scene look chaotic.

There was more than one official from the Iridium Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the dinner, and Ba Qinyuan and a number of Iridium diplomats were present to deal with the group of people, answering all kinds of questions. Ba Qinyuan did not feel uncomfortable with this, he is a very mature Iridium diplomat, and has dealt with people from many planets, and one of the guidelines in the field of Iridium diplomacy is that no matter how much stronger or weaker the other party's national strength is than Iridium, Iridium diplomats must maintain their own attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and politeness. This is the ethics of being a diplomat, and in practice, it saves the United Empire a lot of trouble.

Academician Ding looked at several Iridium diplomats who were surrounded by a group of people, and couldn't help but laugh. Zhong Zhiyan was also crowded in a circle at this time, hoping to talk to the Iridium people. If any country can preemptively establish friendly relations with Iridium, or even carry out exchanges in any field, it may bring great benefits to its national development. Even the American diplomats, who had lost a companion at this time and had been alienated, were sparing no effort to get more information from the Iridium people at this time.

For Academician Ding, his mission has been accomplished, and this time he came to see the power of Iridium technology, he should have seen everything he could see, and as for diplomatic affairs, there are professionals to do.

Academician Ding was old, and after drinking some drinks, he wanted to go to the bathroom, got up and asked a bionic waiter next to him, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" ”

Academician Ding didn't notice any difference between these androids and ordinary people, and even many Iridium people couldn't tell the difference just by looking at them. To make it easier to distinguish between androids, androids are made by leaving a metallic ring on the pinna of their left ear. Civilian ordinary androids, here is also the button to force a shutdown.

The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Sir, I'll take you there." ”

"I'm in trouble."

Similarly, Iridium's toilet also makes earthlings feel like Grandma Liu is visiting the Grand View Garden, and some novel and thoughtful equipment makes the daily activities of this ordinary person also become taller.

After Academician Ding finished settling the problem, the waiter took him away again. However, after walking a few steps, Academician Ding suddenly frowned and said, "This is not the way back to the restaurant, right?" ”

The waiter didn't look back, but said, "Please Academician Ding continue to walk with me." ”

Academician Ding was puzzled, but after all, this was the territory of the Iridium people, and he didn't think that the Iridium people would harm him, an old man in his seventies.

Academician Ding was taken to a room like an office that was not unusual, and the waiter bowed down to invite Academician Ding in, Academician Ding was confused, but still strode in, and he saw that in this small room, a young man by the window was looking out of the window.

Although Academician Ding is old, his eyes are not bad, and he recognized this person at a glance, he is the head of Iridium who has stirred up the earth in the past two days, and is known as Bai Zhongqi, who has lived for 5,000 years and reincarnated in country C of the earth.

Bai Zhongqi saw Academician Ding walk in, smiled slightly, invited Academician Ding to sit down, and said, "Please sit down, Academician Ding." ”

Academician Ding was a little confused, but he also realized that Bai Zhongqi specially invited him over, and there must be something important to say. And the fact that he was invited alone, and did not invite representatives of other countries, also shows that it is obvious that this head of state has given preferential treatment to country C.

"Speaking of which, you and I are still alumni, Academician Ding."

Academician Ding couldn't help laughing when he heard it, he and Bai Zhongqi are really alumni, Bai Zhongqi studied in China as an undergraduate, a very famous university, Academician Ding studied in that institution when he was young, although it is a lot of years behind, but the two are really alumni. It's just that Academician Ding didn't dare to take the posture of his predecessors in front of Bai Zhongqi, whether it was Bai Zhongqi's 5,000-year lifespan or the status of the two.

"It's also a kind of fate. The alma mater not only gave birth to many pillars of the Republic, but also produced an alien head of state, which is also a gratifying thing. Academician Ding teased.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Bai Zhongqi didn't say anything more, but went straight to the point: "Please come over, there are still some things I hope you can convey to country C." Although I am an Iridium, I have lived in country C for many years, and I also have a sense of identity as a person from country C. The United Empire is primarily interested in exploring the universe and developing civilization, and I believe that there is common ground between the United Empire and Country C in this regard. ”

Academician Ding was overjoyed, and the other party had already thrown out an olive branch, which was exactly what Country C was looking forward to. All the Earth nations want to be able to benefit from Iridium, even if it is something thrown by the Iridium people, it may be an earth-shattering black technology on Earth. Moreover, Bai Zhongqi just said that Iridium intends to introduce country C to explore the universe with Iridium, which is not only to get some technology from Iridium, but if it can come into contact with a new habitable planet in the process of Iridium exploring the universe, it will greatly expand the living space of people in country C. The 1.3 billion people will no longer be confined to their homeland, which looks vast but has insufficient potential, and the people of the country will go into deep space and build a new homeland.

However, Academician Ding is not a fool, there is no love in the world for no reason, even if Bai Zhongqi said that he has feelings for country C, but he gave country C a golden finger against the sky, which makes people feel unbelievable.

So, he asked: "Country C is also very happy to cooperate with the United Empire of Iridium on many matters, but it is clear that Iridium does not seem to need to let country C take this ride, and what does the United Empire hope to gain from such cooperation?" ”
