George? Before Runes even had time to take a cup of strong hot coffee from his assistant, he picked up Li Gang's encrypted line and said to Li Gang: "Your time is really accurate, your phone came in just after I returned to the office."

Li Gang smiled and said: "Good news, of course I want to inform Your Excellency as soon as possible, our alien friends have agreed to provide us with an important technology in advance, that is, the concentrated laser cannon weapon system, this is a very major breakthrough, this technology has never been transferred so far, and your laser weapon system is a completely different design concept and manufacturing technology, I think this is a great thing." ”

Lieutenant General Runes also said happily when he heard this: "Yes, I think so too, but how did they reply to the antimatter fuel cell technology we asked for?" ”

"Oh, they think that human beings are not suitable for using this technology at the moment, and antimatter is very dangerous, so it is better not to produce and use it for the time being for safety reasons."

Li Gang's explanation seemed reasonable, but Runes still asked with some reluctance: "You mean they refused to provide this technology?" ”

"That's not it, they think that this technology is currently out of our control, and they don't say no, they just say don't worry." Li Gang hurriedly explained.

George? Although Runes was unhappy in his heart, he also understood the importance of this key technology, of course smart aliens would not easily provide it to others, this is just like his own country's technology export restrictions to foreign countries, but it is understandable, Runes nodded and said noncommittally: "Okay, this matter can be talked about later, since we have made substantial progress, it is worth congratulating, I also want to tell you a good news, my superiors have already greeted the State Drug Administration, Your health supplement can be taken for inspection, and it is estimated that you will get the approval documents for sale soon. ”

Li Gang's face immediately filled with a smile and said: "This is really good, thank you very much for your help, Lord General, I will provide you with some samples for free when the time comes, you will definitely be amazed by its miraculous effect." ”

"Okay, okay, it seems that our cooperation has a good start, and we still have a lot of things to cooperate in the future, goodbye, Mr. Li." Runes ended the call with Li Gang, took a big sip of coffee on the table, and said to himself: "The cunning old fox is really an extremely shrewd businessman. ”

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kester walked in from the open door in a bit of a hurry and said: "General, the newly elected Prime Minister of Country B, Mitsumasa Sato, is about to announce his first decree after taking office, which is to promote the complete abolition of Article 9 of the Constitution, and our intelligence officers say that Mitsumasa Sato will formally submit this Prime Minister's proposal to the Diet of Country B at 10 o'clock in the morning this evening, that is, Country B time, and according to the regulations, this document will be given the highest priority until this proposal is passed or rejected. Congress can move on to other work. ”

"Oh, is this information accurate?"

"Exactly, and country B did not notify us in advance of this important initiative, which is very different from what they have done in the past." Lieutenant Colonel Kester replied affirmatively.

"Okay, I know, let's start paying attention to the movements of country B twenty-four hours a day, I don't know if there are aliens involved, but I have a bad feeling, but I haven't been sure."

……

A few days after entering the basalt formation, the speed of the Pioneer has accelerated a lot, even faster than when it was in the soil layer, Wang Xiao's spirit was also inspired, because he felt that the victory of this expedition was just around the corner, since the departure of the exploration team has gone through hardships, underground biogas layer, swamp, quicksand layer have been encountered, and even passed through a very deep underground water layer, at first Wang Xiao and his sister Dong Ruijie thought that they had reached the huge water body that the teacher said, However, Gong Qingguo rejected their idea after looking at the depth of the exploration team and the results of the water intake test, and sure enough, the Pioneer reached the end of this underground water basin after a few days of diving, and dozens of small intelligent probes launched in all directions also confirmed that this underground water area is not large, and it is definitely not the target of the exploration team.

This afternoon, Wang Xiao wanted to invite Dong Ruijie to have dinner together in the evening, and when he caught a glimpse of Dong Ruijie from the cockpit going back to his office to pack his things, Wang Xiao quickly followed the door and walked in, Dong Ruijie found that Wang Xiao followed in and pouted and said:

"Why didn't you come in without knocking, isn't this too unruly, I'm going to tell the teacher."

"Don't, junior sister, I just want to invite you to eat together in the evening, you see, we have been together for more than two months, we have only eaten together once, and now we have entered the basalt formation, I estimate that in a few days we may be about to pass through the basalt formation to reach the vicinity of the target location, and then we will be busy, we have been eating together for the past few days, the progress is normal now, and we can also relax."

After listening to Wang Xiao's confession, Dong Ruijie understood Wang Xiao's thoughts, and still pretended to be serious and said: "This is not good, let the teacher know that we will say that we are delaying work, and why should I eat with you every day, just because you are our captain?" ”

While speaking, Dong Ruijie glanced at Wang Xiao a few times from the corner of her eyes, a flush floated on her pink face, Wang Xiao immediately realized that this might be a good opportunity for him to confess, many times he didn't dare to say anything to his sister who had been in love for so many years, an impulse finally overcame Wang Xiao's shyness, he reached out and grabbed Dong Ruijie's hand and said:

"Xiaojie, we've been together for so many years, I'm ......"

Dong Ruijie immediately covered Wang Xiao's lips with her other hand's onion-like fingers, and did not let him finish his words, but she did not pull out her own hand in Wang Xiao's hand as quickly as before, but said in a low voice: "Shh...... Don't say it, it's already good, I like that feeling, and if you have to say anything, just wait until we're really successful, and maybe you'll really grow up like a real man. ”

Wang Xiao finally understood that Dong Ruijie was no longer the little girl she had always thought she was, she understood her mind very well, but she was much more reserved than herself, which made Wang Xiao feel warm in his heart, he held Dong Ruijie's hand that was a little red by himself with both hands, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, am I trying too hard, your hands are so soft, but a little cold, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Dong Ruijie's face turned even redder, and then she smiled and said, "No, I'm fine, you come to me at night, let's go to dinner together." ”

Wang Xiao was a little overwhelmed with joy, and he immediately said in a somewhat trembling voice: "You agreed, great, I'll come to you after work to take a shower first, and I still have this week's water quota." ”

Seeing Wang Xiao leave with joy on her face, Dong Ruijie also had a happy smile on her face, but she didn't know that this was the last time she saw Wang Xiao with her own eyes, and she didn't let Wang Xiao say what he just wanted to say, which became Dong Ruijie's lifelong regret.

……

The drill bit compartment at the front of the Trailblazer was running very fast, and the huge reddened alloy drill bit was about to be replaced, and according to the prescribed procedure, all the old drill bits were to be recycled and reprocessed into new drill bits and continued to be used. Although the basalt layer is dense, but because there are many pores, so the excavation is very smooth, when Wang Xiao was about to get off work to take a bath, the hull of the Pioneer suddenly shook violently, Wang Xiao immediately reflexively returned to the command cabin from outside the hatch, asked what happened, a co-pilot replied that the front seemed to have hit something unusually hard, and the drill bit was stuck.

Wang Xiao immediately ordered to reverse the car and retreat, but the main and co-pilots tried hard together several times and couldn't retreat even half a centimeter, Wang Xiao asked the person in charge of the detection equipment to stretch out all the telescopic cameras on the head of the Pioneer and turn them on, trying to find the reason, but the outside was very blurry, under the light of the spotlight, a snow bright and miserable white was full of dust and smoke, and it seemed that there were countless large mirrors in front of him that reflected most of the light, Wang Xiao was wondering, a very experienced pilot guessed:

"Captain Wang, are we trapped in the diamond layer, if this is the case, it will be a big trouble, the hardness of our drill bit is comparable to that of diamonds, we must find a way to avoid the diamond layer, and we can only continue to move forward after a detour, but now we seem to be stuck in the diamond layer, and we are in a dilemma."

Wang Xiao also used his brain to quickly analyze the possible situation at this time, he also thought that the navigator was right, the current situation is very similar to what the teacher is most worried about, but the probability of this situation is very low, but it just caught up, which made Wang Xiao anxious, he immediately commanded the Pioneer to try to withdraw from the diamond layer according to the operating procedures, but no matter how the engine reversed, the Pioneer just couldn't get out, and tried to move forward a few times but it still didn't work, It appears that the drill bit is firmly stuck in the diamond deposit. Wang Xiao gradually stabilized his emotions, he knew that the current situation could only be sent out, using a few primitive tools such as hydraulic jacks to open the cracks in the diamond rock formation, so that the wedge-shaped drill bit in the front part of the Pioneer was partially out of close contact with the diamond ore layer, until the drill bit compartment was completely withdrawn from the diamond ore layer, so that the Pioneer could turn the corner.

Because the drill bit part of the Pioneer is larger than the hull part, there is a gap between the outside and the rock layer, and it can carry out this operation, Wang Xiao told the people in the command cabin what he was going to do, and then called two mechanical engineers to bring the toolbox and prepare to let people open the double-layer sealed cabin door and take people out in person.
