Shen Chao didn't feel strange after hearing his request, but he also showed a dissatisfied look to the other party. It looks like you're offended by the other person's question. The onlookers were a little worried that he would turn his face. However, after two seconds, he regained his normal expression and waved his hand to the team behind him to take off their helmets.

Under his order, the other 19 members behind him all took off their helmets, revealing their very different faces. Seeing this, Adama and the crowd behind him finally relaxed.

Although they did not know how many models of the Humanoid Theron there were, they did know that the number of Humanoid models among the Theron was very rare, and that there was no difference in the appearance of each individual, regardless of the number of each model.

And the people Shen Chao was carrying in front of him were of different heights, skin tones, and appearances. This means that they can't be Therons. In this way, after a series of temptations, the two sides finally reached a peaceful first meeting without danger.

Adama immediately changed his attitude, and while apologizing, he enthusiastically introduced Shen Chao to the entourage next to him, including the president lady with a disguised smile and the first person in the BSG series, Gaius. Dr. Potar.

Shen Chao also shook hands with these people one by one with a smile, including Dr. Potar, who was still regarded as a guest of honor by the Kaship, and the ground service sergeant major who stood aside and didn't know that he was actually a Theron. Although Shen Chao recognized them, he did not rush to expose their true identities.

After all, he had only just boarded the ship, and he was still a stranger to the people here. Whether it was to warn Adama or deal with them in his place, these people would be severely affected, and the little mutual trust that had just been formed between the two of them would be severe. If you don't do it, it will also affect your progress in acquiring the transition technology. So, he smiled, shook hands and talked to these people one by one. After that, he made a short speech showing his goodwill.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Earth Federation, and I welcome you on behalf of all Earthlings. I must say that I had been skeptical until I stepped out of the shuttle's barn door, wondering if it could be a lie orchestrated by a hostile alien race. But now, after seeing you in person, I'm pretty sure you're all human, and so on. You're all human, aren't you? ”

Shen Chao made a joke at the beginning of his speech. It made the crowd in front of him laugh. It effectively resolved the awkward, tense and hostile atmosphere accumulated in the crowd during the landing just now. After this, Shen Chao began to gradually lead the topic to the right path.

"As your fellow human beings, I sympathize with your plight. I will do everything possible to protect you from being hunted down by hostile races. However, here I have something that must be said in front. In order to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Here he accentuated his tone. to ensure that the attention of everyone on the scene is obtained.

"At this moment. The orders I have received from Earth are still to check you in place to see if you pose any threat to the safety of Earth in any way. That is, until I have finished investigating whether all of your claims are true. None of you in this fleet can leave this star system. It is even more unlikely to reach the earth. ”

As Shen Chao expected, as his words came out, there was a voice of disappointment from the crowd opposite. But fortunately, they have been disappointed more times this year, so although they are disappointed, they are not obviously depressed because of this.

On the contrary, some other people in the crowd were still emotionally uplifted after hearing this, because although Shen Chao said that he could not take them to Earth for the time being, what these people heard was that he would take them to Earth when the time was right.

Shen Chao saw that their fluctuations were normal, so he kept the topic on the original track, and told the crowd that they needed to do a physical examination of everyone in the fugitive fleet, make sure that they did not have a fatal disease, and find what they called the Theron people, only then could they be released to Earth.

"Of course, in the process of verifying your claims. I will also help you as much as I can, and I suspect you must have experienced a shortage of supplies while fleeing, so my men are packing up surplus food, water, and medicine on our own ship. After I negotiate terms with your commander, I will send these supplies and some doctors to support you, rest assured, you are now under the protection of the Earth Federation. ”

Shen Chao's words ushered in a round of applause from the crowd opposite. And he ended his speech here, and he was very satisfied with the response of the audience. After hearing that they would soon receive real material aid, the people on the ship were much more excited than he had expected, and it seemed that they must have suffered a lot during the whole year of their escape.

After finishing his speech in front of the crowd, Shen Chao and his escort were invited to the captain's room of the Caladica to continue the conversation. It wasn't long before Admiral Kane, the captain of the Pegasos, arrived on the Ka ship in a shuttle, ready to join them in the conversation.

"Commander, do you really have to keep our entire fleet in this system for inspection?" Isn't this non-negotiable? We have a lot of wounded and refugees to resettle...... "President Rothling asked.

In the captain's room, she is now the main force in negotiations with Shen Chao. Adama became her deputy, and this transformation made Shen Chao realize the tacit understanding between her and Adama. The two are really as close as in the plot.

"That's right, Madam President. I sympathize with your plight. But regardless of whether what you have experienced is true or not, the safety of the earth comes first......" Shen Chao was very tough on this issue, leaving no room for negotiation. Of course, he had to.

Because the earth of this plane, although not too far away from them, is deserted. Until he has cultivated enough mutual trust with the personnel of the Galactica, he is not prepared to reveal the truth and his true identity.

Because just as the other party had been testing his reaction before the meeting and was now testing, he had to get to know these people up close before he could decide whether to cooperate with these humans or abandon them and turn to the Theron people.

"But we're still being pursued by the Therons. Only a few hours earlier, our fleet had ended a major battle with the Therons, in which our soldiers, as far as I know, effectively dealt a blow to the enemy, but also suffered heavy losses of their own. It may take some time for our enemies to find here, but based on experience, they will eventually find us, so can't you take our wounded and old to some safer system to wait? Wouldn't that be safer for us? You've got to have some military bases close to here......"

President Rothlin carefully chose her own words to describe the difficult situation of the fugitive fleet, hoping to impress Shen Chao. Shen Chao was so happy in his heart when he heard this, because he had already guessed that the other party might ask this question, and had prepared a set of plans for this topic.

He envisioned that if the fugitive fleet was desperately asking him to bring some of the refugees to safety, he could use that as an excuse to ask them to concentrate all the people they were going to transfer on a single ship.

After that, all occupants of the ship were medically examined and transferred to the expedition to be transported back to Station Zero, and then the ship was returned to Station Zero under the pretext of searching for security threats, so that he could receive a complete ship with a jump engine with minimal investment and no risk.

That's why he was so happy, but although he couldn't close his mouth with joy in his heart, Shen Chao's face showed a look of embarrassment. Seeing his cousin, President Rothlin continued to organize the language, crying about the difficulties of the fugitive fleet.

She was eager to use this as a breakthrough to get Shen Chao's verbal promise to transfer some of the refugees in the fleet to a safer place to recuperate. This will allow her to improve her position in the fleet, and improving her position in this negotiation before Admiral Kane arrives will allow her to automatically earn her a seat in future negotiations.

And Shen Chao is also willing to play the role of a sympathetic young and promising young officer, ready to follow the other party's tone and put forward the plan he has prepared a long time ago. Unfortunately, just as they were about to get to the point, there was a sharp knock on the door, and Admiral Kane arrived.

With a little regret, Shen Chao stood up and joined the others to welcome Admiral Kane into the door, and soon a tall middle-aged woman with long hair walked in. Although she still looks relatively young and her figure is good against the military uniform, it is still difficult for Shen Chao to associate her with any feminine words at first sight.

According to the popular saying in the main plane, Admiral Kane is a very pure woman. All the advantages you can find in a man can basically be found in her, although Shen Chao doesn't like such a woman, he admires this temperament in her.

Once everyone was seated again, it took some time to review the topic before mentioning it. Surprisingly, Admiral Kane did not agree with Madam President's suggestion to hand over some of the wounded and old refugees in the fleet to Shen Chao first, and let them be sent to the safety of the Earth Fleet.

Even Shen Chao was a little surprised by this, because judging from the conversation just now and the plot of the BSG series, Admiral Kane had just joined the fugitive fleet. She should still treat the people in the civilian fleet as a burden, desperate to get rid of them. (To be continued......)
