Chapter 19: The Child's Message
When Yao Yuan woke up, it was about half past two in the afternoon, he was woken up by Barbie's voice, and he didn't dare to delay after waking up.
Yes, after several months of in-ship manufacturing, the first section of the Hope has been manufactured, about one-tenth of the area used in the ecological park, if it is used to raise cattle, then most of the current cows can be pregnant, and after giving birth to calves, they can be raised, and the milk production can be increased by more than two to three times in a few years.
Of course, at present, the Ministry of Agriculture is also divided into several groups, such as those that specialize in the management of fruits and vegetables, those that manage staple foods such as rice and wheat, those that manage meat such as beef and pork, and those that manage by-products, such as milk, eggs, mushrooms, etc., and those who manage luxury goods such as cigarettes, coffee, and cocoa.
Yao Yuan has seen foreign-style meetings, and various departments are looking for various reasons for their own departments, such as the personnel of the staple food department who claimed that the current grain stocks of the Hope are still below the national warning line, and in the event of a major disaster, then a food crisis may occur at any time.
The department that manages luxury goods has directly invited economists to explain the bad country caused by the gradual lack of luxury goods in the hope category, and the by-products are ...... All in all, in the end, it was Yao Yuan's "talent-reading" decision, this section of the external cabin was used for the output of milk and eggs, and the next section of the cabin was considered for joint use by other industries.
Until the end of the meeting, it was already about half past four in the afternoon, Yao Yuan walked out of the conference hall and muttered in a low voice: "Barbie, don't you Europeans and Americans have no organizational discipline?" No, when I was a headhunter in the past, I attended several company meetings, and the organizational discipline was still very good. ”
Barbie covered her mouth and grinned: "Actually, there are many differences, because in the company, it is often the superiors who directly manage the subordinates, which is a real sense of reading, such as the president letting a small employee, or the middle manager leave, dismiss, or in your words called layoff, can you still not leave?" Up to three months' salary, or pension, etc. ”
"But the political axe is very different, for example, even if you are the president of the political axe, you can't let your finance minister and the like step down for no reason, unless he does something wrong, especially in the elected political axe, otherwise it will cause a big scandal, and the outside world will say that the political axe is incompatible internally, or that this president is too talented, etc., and the possibility of the next re-election of this president is very small."
Barbie said this, she looked back at the by-product team members who were satisfied and had just left, and she continued: "When you chose the officials of the Hope Political Axe, many of them were people who had worked in the relevant departments of the Political Axe, and I don't know why, you deliberately eliminated those very few Chinese civil servants as the head of a certain department, and even the position of team leader was rarely given to them, so most of the team leaders and ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture are European and American political axe personnel, plus they also figured out your spleen surname, So naturally, I went all out to fight for a share of my group. ”
"Oh? What is my spleen surname? What spleen surname? Yao Yuan's heart suddenly became curious, and he asked directly.
"'Pseudo-reading talent', this is the evaluation that many people below us give you." Barbie said with a grin: "Although it is a reading talent declared to the outside world, the birth of the House of Representatives, the integration of various ethnic groups and various races in the army, and the political axe officials In addition to the ministers you designated and appointed, other personnel actually need to be recommended by relevant people, all of which show that your reading is 'pseudo-reading'." ”
Yao Yuan touched his nose, and he didn't refute it, but said: "Because the time for me to read Cai has not yet arrived, and besides, the word "Reading Cai" does not necessarily have to be used on our own people...... Don't talk about that, aren't you curious why I put those Chinese civil servants directly at the bottom? It's a bit complicated, I'll tell you a joke. ”
It is said that in the international court, an international drug lord was arrested once, and after the betrayal, he was temporarily imprisoned, ready to be extradited to his home country, during the detention, he found that his cellmate was a fugitive official, and the two were talking, the big drug lord suddenly asked: "By the way, I've known each other for so long, I don't know what crime you committed to come in, and also, are you an official of that country?" ”
The official was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I am a Chinese official......
The big drug lord was also silent for a long time, nodded and said, "I know......"
Barbie showed a stunned expression after listening to it, she frowned strangely and thought for a long time, and then said: "I didn't understand where the joke is laughing." ”
"Haha, forget it if you don't understand." Yao Yuan laughed, he rubbed his temples and said, "Since there is nothing to do, I am going to go to dinner, and then continue to sleep, tomorrow those scientists should be able to get preliminary results from the research of extraterrestrial creations." ”
Barbie then said: "It looks like you're going to go to bed late, in fact, the research on that alien creation has already achieved the results of the first phase...... Or that it reveals its true purpose......"
"Smack, smack, smack."
Yao Yuan clapped his hands speechlessly, and sure enough, the metal ball on his desk cracked by itself, and then a melodious melody came out from the inside, and there was a crisp voice, which didn't sound like the intonation of human singing, to be precise, it was more like a melodic sound similar to singing.
"That's it? Damn, desperately trying to get it back, it's actually a music box? Yao Yuan turned his face in a daze, and he pointed to the metal ball while saying to the dozen or so scientists beside him.
More than a dozen scientists also smiled bitterly, in fact, the things they are most looking forward to are naturally information storage and the like, such as computer hard drives, or some physical objects, such as engines, weapons, detection systems and the like, but now, the long-awaited thing is actually a music box, and anyone is unhappy.
However, one of the scientists immediately said: "Lieutenant Colonel, please keep listening, this is not a simple music box, it also has a language storage function, and at about twenty-seven minutes, when the music loop stops, some extraterrestrial language dialogue can be heard." ”
After Yao Yuan heard this, he was patient with the unhappiness in his heart, and sat on the chair next to him and listened slowly.
In fact, this melody is quite beautiful, with a melodious and wide like the sea, like the sky, like the space universe, the feeling of drifting in the boundless, beautiful with sadness, especially the female singer who echoes the melody, although it sounds a little like singing, but I have to admit that the voice is actually quite beautiful, and with a child's voice.
In this way, when the music had been playing for twenty-seven minutes, and at the end of the last melody, there was a sudden clapping of applause from the alien music box, and then another male voice was heard singing like a play, low and low, this is a male voice with a fairly wide vocal range.
"Still singing?" Yao Yuan began to be depressed again.
But then he overturned his opinion, because after the male voice made a sound, soon, a child's female voice also made such a sound, the two voices appeared interactively, and there was no accompaniment and melody, this is definitely not singing, but in the dialogue, especially the female voice giggled and trembled from time to time, similar to a coquettish voice, obviously, this should be an adult alien man is talking to an underage alien woman.
The conversation lasted for a long time, until the snapping sound came, and then the whole silence fell in.
Yao Yuan stood up and said, "Alien language...... It's a pity that we can't translate it, otherwise we would have known their social formation and so on, and there must have been these aspects in the conversation between the two......"
The scientist smiled bitterly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, please keep listening, there are still ......"
"Oh? And also? ”
Yao Yuan sat down again, this time he was patient and listened to it all the time, from time to time there was a popping sound from the music box, every time there was a snapping sound, either the alien girl was singing, or she was talking to herself, but the man's voice was not easy to appear once, just like that, Yao Yuan sat here and listened for about an hour and a half, when his patience was almost exhausted, suddenly, another snapping sound came, followed by a non-violent explosion.
Yao Yuan's heart jumped, and he immediately concentrated all his attention and listened carefully to the sound in the music box.
After the explosion, it was the voice of the little alien girl, and it was a crying voice, she said something intermittently, but it was an alien language, I couldn't understand what it meant, and the explosion was louder and farther away, and gradually, the little girl's cry became louder and louder, and she kept repeating several of the same syllables.
Finally, when the little girl finally uttered the same syllables, a very loud explosion sounded, and until this moment, the ball suddenly retracted into its original form, a ball the size of a small fist, and all the sounds contained in it had been completely released.
Yao Yuan exhaled, and his heart was full of shock: "The last voice...... Is that the voice left behind when the alien fleet was completely destroyed? ”
The scientist next to him nodded bitterly, and said at the same time: "We combined the conversations that appeared before, and sorted out the language of the last alien girl, every time the alien man's surname appeared, she would say these syllables first, so we initially thought that the last few syllables meant ......"
"Father, or...... Father. ”
