Chapter 19: Child’s Message

Yao Yuan woke up around 2:30 in the afternoon. He was woken up by Barbie's voice. After waking up, he did not dare to delay. After briefly freshening up, he went to a conference room on the fourth floor to attend a meeting about the plug-in cabin.

usage discussion meeting.

Yes, after several months of in-ship manufacturing of the Hope, the first external cabin has been manufactured. The area is about one-tenth of the area used by the ecological park. If it is used to raise cattle, then

It is possible to make most of the current cows pregnant, give birth to calves and then raise them, increasing the daily milk production by more than two to three times within a few years.

Of course, the Ministry of Agriculture is currently divided into several groups, such as those that specialize in fruits and vegetables, those that manage staple foods such as rice and wheat, those that manage meats such as beef and pork, and those that manage by-products such as milk, eggs, and mushrooms.

There are also management luxuries such as cigarettes, coffee, and cocoa. Each group is fighting for the use of this external cabin.

The meeting went on like this, talking about shortcomings, and even started to be sarcastic. Yao Yuan had experienced a foreign-style meeting. Each department was looking for various reasons for their own department. For example, the staff of the staple food department claimed that the current grain inventory of the Hope

It is still below the national warning line. Once a major disaster occurs, a food crisis may occur at any time.

The department that manages luxury goods directly invited economists to explain the evil caused by the current lack of luxury goods on the Hope. As for by-products...

All in all, in the end, it was Yao Yuan's "dictatorial" decision. This external cabin was used for the production of milk and eggs, and the next cabin was considered for joint use in other industries.

By the time the meeting ended, it was already around 4:30 in the afternoon. Yao Yuan walked out of the meeting and muttered in a low voice: "Barbie, don't you Europeans and Americans have any organizational discipline? No, when I was a headhunter,

I have participated in several company meetings and the organizational discipline is still very good."

Barbie covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Actually, there are many differences, because in a company, the superiors often directly manage the subordinates. This is a true dictatorship. For example, the president lets a small employee...

Or if the middle-level managers leave, are fired, or in your words are laid off, can you still not leave? You can only receive three months’ salary at most, or receive a pension or something like that.”

"But the government is very different. For example, even if you are the president of the government, you cannot let your finance minister step down without reason, unless he has done something wrong, especially in a democratically elected government.

, otherwise it will trigger a big scandal, and the outside world will say that there is a disagreement within the government, or that the president is too authoritarian, etc., and the possibility of the president being re-elected next term will be very small."

When Barbie said this, she looked back at the by-product team members who had just left with satisfaction, and she continued: "When you selected the government officials of the Hope, many of them were people who had served in relevant government departments, and they were not

You know why, you deliberately eliminated those very few Chinese civil servants as heads of certain ministries, and rarely gave them even team leader positions. Therefore, most of the team leaders and ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture are European and American government officials.

In addition, they have figured out your temperament, so naturally they will try their best to win shares for their own group."

"Oh? My temper? What temper?" Yao Yuan suddenly became curious and asked directly.

"'Pseudo-dictatorship', this is the evaluation given to you by many of us below." Barbie said with a smile: "Although it is declared a dictatorship to the outside world, the birth of the House of Representatives, the integration of various races in the army, countries and races, and the

In addition to the ministers of various ministries designated and appointed by you, some government officials actually require recommendations from relevant people. All this shows that your dictatorship is a 'pseudo-dictatorship'."

Yao Yuan touched his nose, but he did not refute, just said: "Because the time when I need to be dictatorial has not yet come, and the word dictatorship does not necessarily have to be used on our own people... Let's not talk about this anymore,

Aren't you curious why I placed those Chinese civil servants directly at the bottom? Things are a bit complicated, let me tell you a joke."

"It is said that at the International Court of Justice, an international drug lord was arrested once. After his rebellion, he was temporarily imprisoned and prepared to be extradited to his home country. During his detention, he discovered that his cellmate was a fugitive official, and the two of them

During the conversation, the big drug lord suddenly asked: "By the way, we have known each other for so long, and I still don't know what crime you committed to get here. Also, which country are you an official of?"

The official was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "I am a Chinese official..."

The drug lord was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "I understand..."

After hearing this, Barbie showed a dumbfounded expression. She frowned strangely and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't understand the point of this joke."

"Haha, forget it if you don't understand." Yao Yuan laughed, rubbed his temples and said: "Since there is nothing else, I'm going to have dinner and then go to sleep. Tomorrow those scientists should be able to draw preliminary conclusions from their research on alien creations.

It’s done.”

Barbie then said: "It seems that you are going to bed late. In fact, the research on that alien creation has achieved the first stage of results...or it has exposed its true purpose..."

"Pah, pah, pah."

Yao Yuan clapped his hands speechlessly. Sure enough, the metal ball on his desk cracked by itself, and then a melodious melody came from inside, as well as a crisp voice, which did not sound like the intonation of a human singing.

To be precise, it is more like a melodic sound similar to singing in an opera.

"That's it? Damn it, what you worked so hard to get back is actually a music box?" Yao Yuan turned around in confusion. He pointed at the metal ball and said to the dozen or so scientists around him.

A dozen scientists were also smiling bitterly. In fact, what they were most looking forward to was naturally information storage, such as computer hard drives, or some physical objects, such as engines, weapons, detection systems, etc.

thing, but now, the thing that I have been waiting for for a long time is actually a music box, which makes anyone feel unhappy.

However, one of the scientists immediately said: "Lieutenant Colonel, please continue listening. This is not a simple music box. It also has a language storage function. At about twenty-seven minutes, when the music loop stops, you can hear

Some dialogue in an alien language."

After Yao Yuan heard this, he endured his unhappiness, sat on the chair next to him and listened slowly.

In fact, this melody is quite beautiful, with a kind of melodious and broadness like the sea, like the sky, like the space universe, the feeling of drifting in the boundless, beautiful and sad, especially those who echo this melody

Although the female singer sounds a bit like an opera singer, I have to admit that her voice is actually quite beautiful and has a childlike voice.

Just like this, when the music played for twenty-seven minutes and the last melody ended, suddenly there was applause from the alien music box, and then another male voice was heard singing like a opera, with ups and downs,

High and low, this is a male voice with a very wide range.

"Still singing?" Yao Yuan started to feel depressed again.

But then his belief was overturned, because after the male voice made a sound, a childlike female voice also made such a sound soon. The two voices appeared alternately, and there was no accompaniment or melody. This was definitely not something

Singing, but in the conversation, especially the female voice made a giggling and trembling sound from time to time, similar to a coquettish voice. It was obvious that this should be an adult alien man having sex with an underage alien woman.

dialogue between.

This conversation lasted for a long time, until the sound of snapping came, and everything fell into silence.

Yao Yuan stood up and said: "An alien language... It's a pity that we can't translate it, otherwise we can know things like their social form. There must be these aspects in the conversation between the two..."

The scientist smiled bitterly and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, please continue listening, and..."

"Oh? There's more?"

Yao Yuan sat down again, and this time he patiently listened. From time to time, there was a popping sound from the music box. Every time there was a popping sound, it was either the little alien girl singing, or she was singing by herself.

Gu Zi spoke, but the man's voice rarely appeared once. Just like this, Yao Yuan sat here and listened for about an hour and a half. When his patience was almost exhausted, suddenly, there was another snapping sound.

Come, followed by a not violent explosion.

Yao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately concentrated all his attention and listened carefully to the sounds in the music box.

Following the explosion, there was the voice of this little alien girl, and it was a crying voice. She was saying something intermittently, but it was in an alien language, and I couldn’t understand what it meant, and that

The explosions became louder and farther away. Gradually, the little girl's cries became louder and louder, and she kept repeating a few of the same syllables.

Finally, when the little girl finally said the same few syllables, a very loud explosion sounded. Until then, the ball suddenly retracted into its original form, a ball the size of a small fist. It contained

All sounds have been completely played.

Yao Yuan took a breath and said with shock in his heart: "The last sound... is the sound left when the alien fleet was completely destroyed, right?"

The scientist next to him nodded bitterly and said at the same time: "We combined the previous conversations to sort out the language of the last alien girl. Every time the alien male appeared before, she would say these words first.

syllables, so we initially believe that the last few syllables mean..."
