Ouyang Ting listened, a little puzzled, and asked, "Third uncle, what do we want that purple vine for?" ”

Ouyang Xun couldn't explain it to her for a while, so he said, "Tingting, don't ask so much first, go and call him back and help the third uncle finish this matter!" ”

Ouyang Ting had no choice but to agree, turned around and went out.

At the J26 base, Colonel Somra stayed in his office, looking at a copy of the latest statistics on Wang Hengxing's rescue sent from the confidential office.

It has been almost three days since the rescue work, 823 expedition volunteers have been rescued, 245 have been confirmed to have died, and the rest are missing.

Somra's mood was very heavy, he couldn't help it, according to this situation, this Wang Hengxing expedition, nearly one-third of the casualties and missing, can be described as heavy damage.

And because Wang Hengxing is likely to be a new immigrant planet, the Federation's introduction to it was also in full swing some time ago, and the people paid a lot of attention to it. Under such circumstances, he believed that such news would inevitably cause an uproar when it returned to the Federation.

When the time comes, the Federal Space Agency and the Federal Military Department will inevitably find a scapegoat for this matter. Interstellar exploration is a high-risk job, and before that, it is not uncommon for similar cases to be more casual, but in order to calm the anger of the people, such scapegoats are still necessary.

And Somla thought about it, and I am afraid that there is no more suitable scapegoat for this scapegoat than himself, which has made him worry and anxious for several days, and he has not slept soundly.

Just as he was here frowning and thinking about this, a soft knock sounded at the door, and then his adjutant, Major Edgar, walked in from outside.

In the past few days, it seems that Edgar has not brought him any good news, and Somla, who is in an irritable state at the moment, saw him come in, and looked at the other party with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

As Somla's personal adjutant, Edgar is well aware of the predicament his boss is facing, and knows that Somla has been in a bad mood lately, so he has been very low-key these days, cautious, lest something go wrong.

"Colonel, there's an expedition volunteer outside the door who wants to see you, do you see it or not?" Edgar stood beside Somra, cautiously asking for instructions.

After hearing this, Somla glared at his adjutant impatiently, and said with a calm face: "Do you want to ask me for such a thing?" Can't you handle such a thing? Otherwise, what's the use of me asking you as an adjutant? ”

Somla's harsh reprimand made Edgar even more like walking on thin ice, waiting for the other party's anger to finish, and then he said cautiously: "Colonel, the other party said that he was looking for you about the alien vine plant, and his subordinates felt that the matter was important and did not dare to make a decision, so they came to ask Colonel Lu for instructions!" ”

Hearing Edgar say this, Somla's expression moved, his face softened, and instead of immediately asking about the visitor, he asked, "Edgar, Academician Imidia, what news has come out?" ”

Edgar knew that his boss was very concerned about this matter, and he had made great efforts to inquire in private, and immediately replied: "Colonel, my subordinate had a drink with one of Academician Imidia's assistants yesterday, but I heard some news from that person. According to the man, after preliminary experimental measurements, the performance indicators of the alien vine plant were very good, reaching an astonishing level, and Academician Imidia was very satisfied with this biological material...... "...,

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly sank, and he said in a low voice: "It is said that this material is the excellent biomecha material that Academician Imidia has been seeking......"

"Alright, don't say any more. This kind of thing is about federal military secrets, and it's not something you and I can talk about indiscriminately! ”

Somla stopped the other party in time. Despite this, he couldn't hide a hint of joy in his expression, and he didn't mean to blame the other party.

Edgar knew what his boss was thinking, and knew what he needed to listen to now, and immediately flattered: "If you learn this news, NASA and the Federal Military Department will be very happy." And this matter is inseparable from your credit, Colonel! Compared with this great achievement, Wang Hengxing's incident is just an accident, and the responsibility is not on you, Colonel......"

"Alright, don't say any more!"

Somla stopped the other party's words with a straight face again, and pretended to reprimand, but from the joy revealed from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not really blaming the other party, and the other party's words could be said to have scratched his itch, which was very useful.

Maybe this is really your chance to come back from the dead? Thinking so, Somla immediately cared about what the other party had just mentioned, and asked, "That person said that there was something related to the alien vines to find me?" Did he say what was going on? ”

Edgar shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything specifically, he only said that he would see the colonel." ”

Somla thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you let him in, I'll talk to him." "Now as long as it is related to the alien vine plant, he will not take it lightly.

Edgar answered, and turned away, and in a few moments he led a young man in, and after leading him into the house, he quietly closed the door and withdrew.

The person who came to see Somla was none other than Jiang Ping. After coming out of Ouyang Xun's place, he found this place, and the purpose of his rash visit to Somla this time was nothing else, just to dispose of that purple vine and sell it for a good price.

Somla sat down in a leather chair, looked at the visitor a few times, and then said straight to the point: "Say, young man, what is the matter with me?" ”

Jiang Ping said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, I have a section of alien vines, and I want to come to Your Excellency the Colonel and sell it for a good price." ”

When Somla heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said that this person is so bold, and he has done business on my head! Thinking in his heart, his face sank, and he said: "You have alien vines, you can hand them over to the quartermaster's office, why do you want to come to me, don't you know that I am very busy?" ”

Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Of course I know that Your Excellency Colonel Lu Dao is very busy. But this vine of mine is a bit special, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you. ”

Somla couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What's so special about your vines? ”

Jiang Ping didn't say much, he took out the purple vine from the leather bag on his waist, took a few steps forward, and put it in front of the other party's table.

As soon as he saw the purple vines on the table, Somla was shocked, stood up from his seat, and exclaimed, "This, this vine is purple!" ”

Somra never imagined that there would be purple vines. At the moment, his expression was solemn, holding this purple vine in his hand, he looked at it carefully for a while, his expression changed uncertainly, but he showed regret at the end, and muttered to himself: "It is really surprising that there are still purple vines, but unfortunately, this purple vine is withered." ”

Jiang Ping was stunned when he heard this, this purple vine was indeed intercepted from the withered and dead purple vine by himself. Hearing what the other party said, he asked, "What's the matter, Your Excellency Colonel, is there any problem?" ”…,

Somla shrugged her shoulders and said, "The purple vines are indeed good, but unfortunately they are withered. You must know that we want these vines, in fact, they are all for the research of Academician Imidia. But Imidia's working group has made it clear that the withered vine is of no practical use. ”

"Academician Imidia?" Jiang Ping felt a little surprised, he had naturally heard of this genius scientist who was famous throughout the Federation.

Seeing that he had leaked his mouth, Somla simply didn't hide it from him, nodded, and said, "Yes, Academician Imidia is at the base now." ”

After pondering for a moment, he said in a consultative tone: "Although this is a withered purple vine, this is the first time I have seen a purple vine, and I think Academician Imidia will be a little interested." Why don't I take you to take this purple vine to meet Academician Imidia, if she likes this purple vine, she will definitely give you a good price, what do you think? ”

Jiang Pinghu glanced at the other party suspiciously, and felt that the other party had no need to deceive himself, so he nodded and agreed.

Somla also wanted to get this done as soon as possible, so she immediately got up and said, "Then let's take the purple vines with us now, young man, and good luck!" ”
