Yang Lulu's voice has always been very crisp, and the acoustics of the restaurant have also been specially designed to make everyone in every corner hear.

The restaurant fell silent as dozens of diners remained silent, looking back and forth with inquiring glances, but unable to find any answers from each other. After confirming this, they looked at Yang Lulu again, who was sitting at the head of the guest seat at the strip table, hoping to get an answer from her.

"The United States has always been at the heart of the world, right?"

Yang Lulu picked up the fork with her slender fingers, held it in the air and shook it, and said in a cold tone: "Since the first time I received diplomatic orders, the Nevada base has been back and forth several times. I'm familiar with this place, and I can name a lot of people here. General Cecil, General Gwenster, Officer Dwork, Mr. Markson, Ms. Rasenes...... In addition to that, I can tell a lot about the changes to this base: the railing of the entrance gate to the second district was originally green, but now it has been changed to yellow and black twill. The satellite signal receiving antenna of the airport tower was replaced, and the soldiers in charge of the guard no longer used the old M16A12 rifle, but the M16A18 with an increased caliber of 12 mm. The electronic defense system was also replaced with a strip defense system. Other than that...... Hehe! The Senior Officers' Dining Room must have changed its head chef. ”

Speaking of this, a brigadier general sitting diagonally across the table couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that there has been a change of chef here?" This guy just passed the guò identity and related qualification exams last week, and today is his first day at work. ”

Yang Lulu picked up the silver cup with black pepper juice in front of her, pushed it forward, and said, "When I came a few times ago, this ingredient was a little sweet. This time, however, the sweetness is not as strong and the amount of pepper is a bit more. ”

Without waiting for the brigadier general to answer, Yang Lulu continued: "The reason why I say this is not to show off my memory. I just want to say that I, who am not based in Nevada, can remember so many things, and there is no reason why you here are inferior to me in this regard. The changes that enhancement potions have had on humans are obvious to all, especially in terms of brain development, and everyone's memory has been improved like never before, and they have become more familiar with unfamiliar things. ”

Everyone in the restaurant could hear the coldness in Yang Lulu's words. However, no one understood what she was trying to say. After a few seconds of silence, Admiral Cecil had to laugh again and ask seriously: "Is there anything specific that can be said?" ”

"Dangchang!"

The fork in Yang Lulu's hand fell again, making an extremely alarming crisp sound. Immediately afterward, she let out a voice that had been brewing for a long time, extremely majestic.

"You seem to have forgotten that I am a Chinese. From the first time I came to the Nevada site, I never received the respect that a guest deserves. Why put a knife and fork in front of me instead of chopsticks? Look at these dishes, all of them are familiar to you and you like them. Have you considered the feelings of your guests? Is this your hospitality? ”

No one spoke, but it could be felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant was becoming chaotic with Yang Lulu's words. Many of the officers had hostile looks in their eyes and sneering and mocking expressions on their faces.

"Isn't it just a pair of chopsticks?"

When Yang Lulu said this, she no longer used English, but directly spoke Chinese: "You must think that I am making a fuss, but the crux of the problem is no longer here, and you still hold on to the old ideas of the past." In fact, a lot of things are not what they used to be. ”

The brigadier general who had spoken before frowned, and replied unhappily: "Madam, this is an official diplomatic occasion, I don't understand what you are talking about, please speak English." ”

"If you don't understand, forget it."

Yang Lulu sneered, grabbed a napkin and slowly wiped her fingers: "No one speaks Chinese, and the tableware is in line with your living habits." You seem to have forgotten that this is not the era before the outbreak of the virus. What else do you have? The Nevada base is your biggest stronghold, and if it is lost, you will be in a worse position than a lost dog. ”

The brigadier general has been connected to the electronic translator of his body computer. Yang Lulu's words were randomly translated, and of course the brigadier could understand them, but he didn't intend to give up just like that, but wanted to win back some essential face in this regard, and still frowned: "Madam, I have to remind you that English is the only international language we recognize. If you continue to answer in Chinese, it is very impolite. ”

"International language?"

Yang Lulu didn't take the brigadier's words seriously, and still sneered and said, "Who stipulated it?" ”

The brigadier general's cheeks were already flushed with anger: "Of course, the General Assembly. It's a universal language, and it's taught even in your schools in China. Why, don't you admit it? ”

"That's in the past."

Yang Lulu responded in standard Mandarin: "From now on, the only international language is Chinese, no longer English." ”

The brigadier general did not answer. He turned around, looked around, and found that the opposite and the colleague next to him had a strange and inexplicable sneer on their faces, so he turned his gaze back to Yang Lulu again, and said sarcastically: "You know? You're arrogant, you're the most arrogant woman I've ever seen. ”

"You're right!"

Yang Lulu looked at him with an indifferent gaze: "Brigadier General Anthony, you have to pay for what you just said. ”

Admiral Cecil, who had been sitting next to him and had been silent, was suddenly startled, and hurriedly spoke to stop him: "I'm sorry, Anthony didn't mean to. He had apparently drunk too much. You see, that's not what he intended. ”

Yang Lulu shifted her gaze to Cecil, not moved at all: "General Cecil, you have always thought that you are an understanding person. Since you say so, do you mean to show that he has the same attitude? ”

"I ...... This one...... It's not like this, it's ...... It's ......"

Admiral Cecil kept rubbing his hands together, his expression was very embarrassed, and he couldn't find a word of rejection or denial for a while.

"We already have two infantry divisions on the offensive in the Atlanta direction, and the next landing force will be up to three divisions. If my request is denied, within an hour all troops will cease the offensive and be ready to immediately withdraw to the country. ”

The words that came out of Yang Lulu's mouth immediately caused a burst of discussion in the restaurant. People began to exchange heads and ears, and their eyes became full of pity for Brigadier General Anthony. Admiral Cecil was right, Anthony had indeed drunk a lot of wine, and it was completely hot-headed that he said that kind of unserious words. But at the end of the day, Anthony is not wrong. It is true that English is an international language recognized by the United Nations, and the use of knives and forks in receiving guests has always been a habit in the West. Just for such a small thing, he threatened to withdraw reinforcements...... No matter how you look at it, Yang Lulu seems to be making a big fuss.

Yang Lulu didn't plan to end the matter like this. She directly called the personal guard with a pager, took out a document on assistance matters that had been signed before from her briefcase, tore up the English printed document in front of everyone, and said sternly: "From now on, the text of any international agreement can only be in Chinese as the official language." As of today, all members of our delegation will no longer use the language translator. What we say, you can listen to it if you can understand it, and even if you don't understand it. If the two sides are unable to communicate because of language issues, then there is no need for negotiations to continue. I'll leave here at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

Admiral Cecil listened quietly, his face growing paler.

"It's not in order."

He kept shaking his head: "The signed agreement has already had an effect. You shred it up, do you know what that means? This is a flouty of international law and a significant reduction in your country's credit rating. What's more, the English word jiàn is the only approved way to save zài, and you have no right to ask us to change it in this regard. ”

"Whatever you want."

Yang Lulu pushed away the chair and stood up, sneering calmly: "Don't make a mistake, I'm not discussing with you, but informing you directly." It is up to us to decide the language and format used. The United States is no longer the United States it used to be, and don't think that you are still the rule-makers of the world. You can't do anything but stay here and talk nonsense, and you're nothing. Give up those unrealistic thoughts! The United Nations is not an easy signboard. Look at Europe and Asia, where biological warfare ended decades ago, and you are still hiding underground and afraid to come out. That's right, Americans used to be the proudest race in the world. But now we are ahead of you. You have come up with the idea of migrating to the Moon and Mars, but it is we who are actually making it happen. We now have more than 60,000 immigrants on the moon, and there are three batches of immigrants on Mars, with a total population of 200,000, and you are still here arguing about the question of what English is the only international language. ”

After a pause, Yang Lulu looked at Brigadier General Anthony, who had a grim face, and chuckled and said, "If I were you, I would start learning Chinese immediately." Otherwise, when you really have to beg to make a living, even if you are carrying a broken bowl for food, others will not understand what you are saying. ”

……

In the dark depths of the universe, a huge spaceship is sailing.

Explorer 1 is no longer what it was when it was first launched. Since docking with the Explorer 2 launched by the Earth side a year and eight months ago, its appearance and overall performance have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The installation of the super-powerful engine has been completed, and the twelve new giant vents emit incomparably dazzling flames, propelling the massive hull to fly at a speed of nearly half a million kilometers per second. The faster-than-light engine technology was the result of the research of the Academy of Sciences decades ago, and Wang Qinian put it on the "Explorer 2", but he did not arrive with the ship.

Even though it had been confirmed that the fat man was not on the ship, Nightshadow still felt lost. The two aircraft carriers merged, and she delegated the relevant command authority to the technical and engineering personnel, allowing them to modify the spacecraft, while she hid in the cabin alone, staring at the holographic projector in a daze.

Nightshade is still as beautiful as ever. Semi-mechanical, semi-biological modification technology makes the beautiful face permanently fixed on the face. She has never had the same perverted thoughts as Wang Qinian, and she doesn't like to run around with a monster-like transparent mechanical cover. Beauty technology has always been the most important item for Night Shadow. She has dozens of wigs of different styles and colors, and her gelatinous skin has to be cleaned every day. Sometimes, in order to make her beauty look special, Nightshade is fitted with a special metal prosthesis. It is a bionic texture and chemical alloy with a light blue luster and high texture, and the legs with stockings are not mechanical at all, but have an intoxicating cold beauty. In order to make the transformed body look more special, Night Shadow even carved patterns on the thighs and arms of the prosthetic limbs, which is a bit of a return to the youthful era, showing his unique charm with tattoos.

The door was quietly pushed open from the outside, and a strangely shaped machine more than two meters tall slowly drove in.

The machine has both rubber wheels and metal tracks, and the circular central pillar section is about one meter in diameter. It has three pairs of robotic arms, one of which is a human-like bionic skin arm, and the corresponding is a broad shoulder and upper body covered by a suit and tie. As for the head, it is an image simulated by a holographic projector.

It is Wang Qinian's granddaughter, and it is also the most special existence on "Exploration No. 1".

When the girl was 19 years old, Discovery 1 was hit by a meteorite. Although the ship's weapons shattered the massive meteorite, many of the shattered rocks collided with the hull. Exploration One is so sturdy that it was built with all kinds of difficulties that might be encountered in the universe in mind. Thus, the scattered meteorite fragments did not cause damage to the ship, but only caused a slight shock inside the hull. Unfortunately, Wang Qinian's granddaughter was training in the machine operation room at the time, and the collision and shaking caused her to lose her balance, and her head hit the sharp angle of the raised part, and the director died on the spot.

Semi-mechanical, semi-biotechnology has greatly reduced the meaning of the word "death". Nightshade removes her brains from her granddaughter's dead body and creates a new mechanical container for her. Since then, there has been an additional robot with a human mindset on Exploration One.

Wang Xiaoli has always been a restless girl. She never considered herself a monster. After all, there are many cyborgs on the "Exploration One" ship, who are cyborgs like themselves. She loves to add different body organs to herself. Grandma Nightshade's slender and delicate legs are of course beautiful, but they are only a collection of Wang Xiaoli's extra prosthetics. She built herself a tank-like tracked chassis that could be deformed, with six spider-like mechanical legs sticking out from either side. A pair of flexible hands is certainly not less, but it is not complete in terms of use function. Therefore, she added two pairs of folding robotic arms more than 30 meters long to herself. Since the mechanical claw is versatile and flexible, Wang Xiaoli has also become an additional repairman on the "Exploration No. 1".

Don't think that little girls are easy to bully. Wang Xiaoli's tracked chassis is equipped with a powerful laser launcher and a 30mm cannon with automatic steering. Even if the chassis is accidentally blown up, the upper body can still be detached and quickly out of danger with the help of additional mechanical legs and feet. Even in the worst-case scenario, when only her head remains, she can still spew extremely hot flames from her throat, burning her opponent to ashes.

When it comes to transforming the body, the head has always been Wang Xiaoli's most tangled part.

There's no girl who doesn't like beauty, but God-given faces are really hard to make. Wang Xiaoli's father is very handsome, and he obviously inherited the excellent physiological genes of Grandma Night Shadow. This kind of luck has not been extended to the next generation, Wang Xiaoli's appearance is very similar to Wang Qinian, the defects of the pig's waist face are very obvious, and it is also so special that people can remember it at a casual glance.

Nightshade strictly forbids future generations to modify their physiognomy in any form. She has always believed that no matter what you look like, it will be your ID card forever. Once modified, it is possible for anyone to impersonate. Therefore, beauty technology is not popular on the "Exploration No. 1", in order to make herself look better, Wang Xiaoli had to set her brain inside the armored bulletproof cabin of the crawler chassis, install a holographic recorder on her shoulder, and simulate a transparent head with the same appearance as herself in the vacated head position.

Nightshade, of course, heard the sound of the mechanical crawler pushing the door and entering the room, and also heard Wang Xiaoli's inquiry from the synthesis simulator.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?"

Nightshade didn't turn around, and shook his head flatly: "I didn't see anything, I just didn't feel very comfortable." ”

Although she is a cyborg, Wang Xiaoli is very aware of her sophistication: "Are you thinking about grandpa? ”

Nightshade had a wry smile on her face, "That bastard was supposed to have come to join us on Discovery II. But now ......"

Wang Xiaoli's imagination is very rich: "Will grandpa be on that boat?" Just hiding in a corner and playing hide and seek with us? ”

"That bastard has been on Earth alone for decades, do you think he would be able to endure it if he was really on the ship?"

Nightshade is never taboo when it comes to educating her children. Although Wang Xiaoli is the granddaughter of her in-laws, when it comes to men and women, Night Shadow still says whatever she wants.

Cyborgs, half-cyborgs, certainly can't be as happy as ordinary people. But they are human beings after all, and they always have desires that must be vented. Whenever this happens, a small amount of hormones must be injected into the circulatory system of synthetic humoral fluids, which stimulates the brain through guò to produce pleasure. Over time, even the Night Shadow himself almost forgot what he had done on Earth in the first place. But she believes that Wang Qinian will remember it. No matter what you forget, the old fat man won't forget this.
