The starship flashed in the deep sky like lightning on a black canopy. The distance of more than 200 million kilometers, placed on the earth more than 1,000 years ago, was a moat that could only be looked at and sighed, but in the face of modern developed science and technology, it has become a thoroughfare that can be crossed in only ten hours. This cannot but make people sigh at the infinite wisdom of human beings and the tremendous power of science and technology.

February 14, 1004 is the most memorable and nostalgic special day in the era of human interstellar voyages. This day coincides with the most romantic holiday on earth - Valentine's Day. On this day, the two starships, like the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl, crossed the vast Tianhe River and came together affectionately. And they have been waiting for this day for a thousand years!

The Wanhu had already slowly reduced its speed to the agreed 100 kilometers per second, keeping pace with the Atlantis. At the same time, according to the agreement before the rendezvous, in order to avoid all unforeseen unstable factors, the distance between the two starships was 300,000 kilometers. 300,000 kilometers may seem far away, but the Wanhu can be completed in just one minute, and the Atlantis can be completed in only five minutes. If you use an energy weapon to attack, it will only take a second. But this is a safe distance that meets the psychological expectations of both parties and allows everyone to rest assured.

But this move disappointed the people on the two starships. They originally wanted to be able to get up close and personal with each other, looking at a starship more than a thousand years ago, like a collector's expectation for an antique; Or maybe you want to admire the perfect starship created by modern technology, and learn about the Earth that you have never been to before. All these ideas have become a luxury in the face of this 300,000-kilometer distance. But that doesn't stop the enthusiasm of the populace on both sides, so satisfy your curiosity with the ubiquitous holographic video system inside the starship.

Under the watchful eye, at 8:08 on February 14 (perhaps it was deeply influenced by the culture of the Chinese people, even after entering the age of interstellar navigation, there was a strong atmosphere of digital worship in the Earth Federation. The passage of the two starships flashed red almost simultaneously, and then the door of the passage slowly opened, and one after another space fighters streamed out of it. Soon, the captain's special guard composed of 25 fighters lined up in a three-dimensional formation like arrows, heavily protected the captain's plane, and then, with uniform movements, drew a beautiful arc in the void and flew towards the coordinates of the predetermined meeting point. There, a medium-sized landing ship has long been waiting there, sailing at a constant speed of 100 kilometers per second.

Twenty minutes later, the planes of both captains entered the medium-sized landing ship at the same time. After a symbolic rest, Bruce and Chen Xinghan walked towards each other almost simultaneously. Twenty meters ...... Fifteen meters...... 10 meters ...... Three-meter ...... Two meters ...... As we got closer, people's hearts beat violently.

At a distance of 0.5 meters, the two stopped at the same time, stared at each other, and then, solemnly, very solemnly, stretched out their right hands.

The holographic video system on board the landing ship recorded this historic footage for eternity, and transmitted it simultaneously to the two starships. Looking at the two big hands clasped tightly together on the virtual display, the people on the starship suddenly boiled, some looked up to the sky and smiled, some cried bitterly, and some were at a loss, and the huge joy made them no longer know how to vent their emotions. In short, this great moment will remain in their memories forever!

After the handshake between the two captains was live-streamed, the video transmission channel was cut off. After all, there are too many contents of the next negotiation that cannot be made public, and these contents will become top secret that only the two captains can know.

He let go of his right hand and greeted each other politely, and then the two of them both sat down and began a formal conversation.

"Captain Bruce, you have worked hard, as a junior, on behalf of all the soldiers and civilians on the 'Wanhu', I would like to express my highest respect and most sincere greetings to you and all the crew of the Atlantis!" Chen Xinghan looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.

"Hehe, Captain Chen is serious. We just did what we had to do. But you, after so many setbacks, still have the courage to embark on this uncertain voyage, which makes me, an old man, admire. Bruce also said sincerely.

After a period of courtesy greetings, the two entered the theme of the meeting.

"The 'Wanhu' is the most advanced starship that our human race currently has, at least in front of it, the Atlantis has no advantage at all. After all, the 700-year technological gap is incomparably huge and difficult to bridge. Bruce let out a long sigh, his tone not without loneliness.

"Captain Bruce, you're too out-of-the-box. We are both starships of the Earth Federation and the hope of the future development of mankind, we should work together, learn from each other's strengths, and strive for a common goal. Chen Xinghan said very boldly.

"So, what does Captain Chen mean that you are willing to share your advanced technology with us?" Bruce couldn't help but smile and asked eagerly.

"Yes, in front of you, in front of the Atlantis, we have no secrets on the Wanhu!" Chen Xinghan waved his hand and replied imposingly. "However, after all, there is a technological gap between us for more than 700 years, with your scientific and technological foundation, can you understand and use the advanced technology we provide?" Chen Xinghan immediately raised another very realistic question, although it was very unpleasant, but the problem did exist.

"This ...... So what do you mean? Bruce's face froze, he didn't expect the other party's words to be so direct, but he was not angry, one is the way a soldier speaks, and the other is that after all, he has a request for others, and it is inevitable to be wronged.

"I have a suggestion, do you think it's okay? We will first provide you with some relatively backward technologies, so that your scientific and technological personnel can conduct research to see how far they can be studied. If possible, we will gradually provide more advanced technology so that you can make the leap in technology in the shortest possible time. ”

"So what kind of technology will you provide?"

"We provide you with a full range of technologies, such as engine technology, energy compression technology, energy shield technology, material science, etc., which are extremely important key technologies that may be able to solve many of your problems. Of course, the premise of all this is that you can do the first step, which is to digest the technology that has been provided to you in advance, otherwise you will not be able to get the rest of the technology. Chen Xinghan said this very resolutely. It makes sense to think about it, if a primary school student is forcibly instilled with university theoretical knowledge, it is absolutely harmful and useless, and even if he can memorize it, he will not be able to understand it, let alone use it.

"Can you provide some technicians or off-the-shelf equipment?" Bruce wanted to solve Atlantis' immediate needs in another way.

"This ...... It's hard to answer this question for the time being, after all, the Federation is a free country, and you can't force anyone to do what he doesn't want to do. As for the equipment, I still need to consult with others before I can decide. Chen Xinghan also told the truth, Wanhu's attitude towards Atlantis has not yet been unified, and the promise just now is already the limit of his power.

Bruce was a little disappointed, but he thought that the trip was not without gain, so he didn't dwell on the issue.

This was followed by a conversation between the two sides on some of the more minor issues.

On the whole, this meeting is positive, fruitful, and a meeting of great constructive significance to the relations between the two sides, which will greatly promote the further development of human voyages (hehe, the frog version of "News Network", is it a little tasteful). ）
