Chapter 43: Return to the Moon
Without waiting for the other party to ask, Jiang Ping had already taken out the purple vine, handed it to the other party, and said, "This is the purple vine, academician, please take a look." ”
Seeing the purple vine he handed over, Imidia's eyes lit up, she took it, looked at it in her hand for a while, showed a look of surprise, and asked, "This is really a purple vine, I don't know where Mr. Jiang Ping got it?" ”
Jiang Ping replied briefly: "It happened to be obtained in the depths of the jungle." "As for all the things that happened to the ancient vines in the rift, of course he wouldn't mention them to the other party.
Although she had already decided to keep this purple vine in her heart, perhaps to avenge the other party's previous gaffes, Imidia had a trace of deliberate embarrassment in her heart, intending to cause a little trouble to the other party in the negotiation.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, she said softly: "This purple vine was originally excellent, but unfortunately it is a withered and dead vine, so Mr. Jiang Ping asked for three million federal coins, don't you think it's too high?" ”
Somra, who was next to him, heard this, and interjected: "Jiang Ping, the academician's words have her own reason, I look at this price, you still have to think about it carefully!" ”
Ignoring the hints in his words, Jiang Ping smiled lightly and said, "I don't think this price is too high. Because I've seen for myself how powerful this purple vine is. ”
Imidya turned her inquiring gaze and said, "Oh, what kind of powerful method is it, can Mr. Jiang Ping explain it in detail?" ”
Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, I was entangled by this purple vine and used a flamethrower to spray a scorching flame of 20,000 degrees, but I still couldn't help it!" ”
Imidia's face was moved when she heard this, and she said, "Is it true, the situation must have been very dangerous at that time, I don't know how you got out of trouble after the last day?" ”
Jiang Ping said for a while, and when he saw her asking, he made up and said: "At that time, the situation was really critical, the purple vines were pestering me, no matter how I struggled, I couldn't get out, I thought I was going to die this time, but after a while, for some reason, the purple vines withered and died, and I was lucky enough to pick up a life and come back." ”
He described the process as extremely dangerous, and the subtext in the secret was: This is a treasure that I almost lost my life to get, and it is not too much to sell it for three million federal coins, right?
When Imidia heard this, she didn't mean to continue to be embarrassed, she smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Jiang Ping, to tell you the truth, this vine is very valuable for us to study, if it is really as you said, this purple vine can withstand the high temperature of 20,000 degrees and be safe, then its value is indeed more than three million federal coins." So we can accept your request. ”
Seeing her happily agree, Jiang Ping was a little stunned, and said, "But didn't you just say that this purple vine has withered, aren't you afraid to buy it, but it turns out to be a useless thing in the end?" ”
Imidia nodded and said, "What you said is indeed very possible, but even so, I still want to buy it, not to mention maybe it is really useful?" ”
Jiang Ping listened, and knew that she must have her reasons for doing this, which may involve her research work, and he didn't want to ask more, so he nodded and said, "Then this purple vine now belongs to you, academician." ”
Imidia smiled and deliberately teased: "What, Mr. Jiang Ping doesn't want to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?" ”
Jiang Ping's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "This, this, I naturally believe in the credibility of academicians!" ”
Imidia was also neat and tidy, and immediately called Heidegger and instructed: "You go and write down Mr. Jiang Ping's personal account, and immediately transfer three million federal coins to the past." ”…,
Although Heidegger still disagreed in his heart, at this time, Imidia had already decided, and he couldn't say anything more, so he immediately asked Jiang Ping's personal account, and then went out to transfer money.
When Jiang Ping saw that the matter was done, he got up and said goodbye, and said, "The academician is busy, I don't dare to disturb it anymore, so I'll leave!" ”
Imidia got up to send him off, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped him, took out a gold card from his arms, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang Ping, you have sent purple vines graciously, Imidia is very grateful, this is my business card, if you have anything in the future, you can find me." ”
When Somla on the side saw it, his expression couldn't help but be moved, he glanced at Jiang Ping with a strange gaze, and was jealous in his heart, secretly saying that this kid somehow took shit luck, with a piece of purple vines, he earned three million federal coins, not to mention, he even got the favor of Academician Imidia and gave him a business card!
You must know that this is the business card of Academician Imidia, but can you get it ordinarily, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth ten thousand gold!
As for him, Somla, who has been sent in front of Academician Imidia these days, has tried his best to please and flatter, and he has not seen Academician Imidia give him a business card, and he has no such extravagant thoughts at all, because he knows that he is not qualified at all.
But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Ping was just an ordinary expedition volunteer, unknown, but he got a business card from Academician Imidia himself, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed it at all!
Looking at the business card handed over by the other party, Jiang Ping was also surprised, subconsciously reached out and took it away, nodded, didn't say much, turned around and left.
Imidia didn't know why she would give the other party's business card for Lu, and of course she knew that it wasn't just because the other party sent this purple vine. It's just that there was a feeling just now that made her vaguely feel that the other party was a person worthy of her attention, so she subconsciously gave a business card.
However, she is not too sure about this feeling, with her current status, the possibility of intersecting with the other party is almost zero, and in fact, she quickly forgot about this matter and this person.
After Jiang Ping left the command building, on the way back, he met Ouyang Ting, who was looking for him. After learning that his purple vines had been sold, Ouyang Ting didn't feel anything, but after going back and telling Ouyang Xun, it made Ouyang Xun annoyed for most of the day.
A few days later, the impact of the flare explosion caused by the Jinwu Sun gradually subsided, and it was difficult to find survivors in the entire Wang Hengxing, and the search and rescue work came to an end, and the exploration volunteers from each immigrant planet began to return to their respective planets in turn, Jiang Ping, together with other lunar exploration volunteers, boarded a transport ship and embarked on the journey back to the moon.
When I went back, I was still on the A341 transport ship, and the captain was still Major Keno, but when I came, there were only 58 people left, and 42 people were sleeping in the exotic alien king Hengxing.
Among all the immigrant planets, the casualties of the lunar expedition volunteer team are the largest, in addition to Daniel, James and other people, Jiang Ping's team of Andrew's group has only survived a few people, James and others are missing and have not returned, they should have died on Wang Hengxing.
At the beginning, Andrew's team was deep in the jungle because of the search for blue vines, and basically did not return to the temporary base, but a few lucky people were found in the jungle by a search and rescue ship and rescued.
Jiang Ping also found these surviving team members and asked about what happened, but they were vague, roughly saying that Andrew and others fled at night with bioenergy batteries, and they didn't know where to go, and they didn't come back after the worst event, probably dying in the jungle. …,
Most of the people in this group did not have bioenergy batteries, and the few people who were rescued were lucky to be found and rescued by the search and rescue ship within five days, when the energy was about to run out. The others who have not yet been accounted for are afraid that they have already died in the jungle.
When it comes to Andrew, these people all grit their teeth and hate them, and Andrew and the others have not been rescued, and they don't know about it, but they have no misfortune and schadenfreude, and they deserve it.
Jiang Ping guessed that the likely result was that Andrew and others had infighting in order to compete for bioenergy batteries, and it was unknown whether they would end up together.
And these people were also very surprised that Jiang Ping was able to come back to life. They could see the situation clearly at the beginning, Jiang Ping used the flight system to save Catherine, which was no different from sending her to death under the circumstances at that time, and it was a miracle that he was finally rescued.
Regarding their questions, Jiang Ping naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but vaguely said that he met Ao Shixing's people in the jungle and went to Ao Shixing's temporary base together and was rescued.
What made Jiang Ping feel a little relieved was that Catherine was also among the rescued. According to her own account, she passed out in the jungle, and when she woke up, she was already outside the jungle, and then followed the road all the way back to the moon's temporary base.
Everyone who heard her describe what happened was very surprised, and they shook their heads in disbelief, thinking that she was talking nonsense. And only Jiang Ping knew the inside story, and it should be that Gu Teng informed his juniors and sent Catherine out of the jungle.
The way back became very dull and boring because of Wang Hengxing's change. A few days later, the A341 transport ship landed smoothly at the Federal Space Agency's moon base.
After going through some handover procedures at the base, Jiang Ping and others ceased to be expedition volunteers, and the status of temporary active military personnel was also canceled, and the status of ordinary federal citizens was restored. In principle, they will not be able to participate in the next expedition volunteer call.
In fact, after experiencing Wang Hengxing's desperate life this time, there are only not many people who are willing to continue to engage in this task. Now that the survivors have been paid a million federal dollars promised by NASA and a chance to emigrate, a better day awaits everyone, and no one wants to risk their lives again.
Jiang Ping walked out of the gate of the moon base with a small package, and when he went out of the gate, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and was about to look for a flying machine to go back, when a sweet shout came from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the blonde hot beauty Catherine was walking towards him.
