Chapter 28 Earth, First Contact with Extraterrestrial Civilizations
"Liu Ning, can you get in touch with that Zhang Yixia now?"
"Can't contact her, she said it will take a few days until they establish a new communication channel..."
Colonel Chu nodded and turned to look at Chief Engineer Yang, who was still putting on a bad face, with a stiff smile on his face.
"Lao Yang, it was my fault yesterday. I didn't consider your feelings. I apologize to you!"
The sudden words made Chief Engineer Yang and the surrounding staff stunned. They did not expect that Colonel Chu would say such a thing.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Yes!"
Colonel Chu nodded in recognition, and then said: "The higher authorities have approved the establishment of the Earth Joint Defense Agency together with the other three countries. I am the first person in charge. I want you to help me!"
"Huh??"
Chief Engineer Yang's rising emotions immediately disappeared and he sneered: "You are really realistic. You fired me from my job yesterday and you want me to work with you today?"
"Yesterday you and I had different positions. In your opinion, Zhang Tao and the other three are more important. In my opinion, the country's security is more important..."
"Today, we have the same position, both for the country and the people..."
This person...
Chief Engineer Yang deliberately retorted that I am different from you, but when I think about it carefully, it is really true. If Colonel Chu was really selfish, he would not have taken the risk of offending him yesterday by being so tough.
The scene was stiff for more than ten seconds. Manager Yang seemed to have figured out something and said calmly: "When Lao Zhang and the others come back, I want you to apologize to him in person!"
"It's not okay to apologize, but it's okay to treat guests to dinner!"
Colonel Chu pointed to his epaulette, indicating that he did not represent an individual yesterday.
"Damn it, I just can't let go of this feeling in my heart. If you wait and find opportunities in the future, you will definitely regret inviting me!"
Chief Engineer Yang finally agreed. After yesterday, he thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed overreacted.
He is the chief engineer first, and Zhang Tao’s friend second.
It's just that the other party has been out of contact for too long, and he was mentally prepared for the three of them to have died in the line of duty. However, he suddenly appeared again and was treated so coldly by Colonel Chu. It was a bit difficult to accept for a while.
"Take a step to speak!"
After Colonel Chu got acquainted with Chief Engineer Yang, he was unwilling to say any unnecessary nonsense.
The two came to the quiet room.
"The higher-ups are preparing to restart nuclear testing, research more powerful weapons, and deal with possible crises caused by aliens..."
Colonel Chu said slowly: "However, this kind of thing cannot be explained publicly. There must be a reason, at least it cannot be because of dealing with aliens..."
Chief Engineer Yang had an unknown premonition in his heart and said: "What do you mean?!"
"The aliens are fake. The other three countries thought that White Rabbit No. 9 did not survive and tried to salvage it, but failed. During the process, they caused a stumbling block on the moon, which delayed our search and rescue work a lot..."
"Just tell me what you want me to do?!"
"Use the same attitude you scolded me yesterday, scold Thomas and Jax harshly..."
Colonel Chu added: "I have already said hello to the Three Kingdoms. The two of them will ridicule you, and the Internet will take advantage of the trend to create a public opinion environment for the re-development of nuclear weapons..."
Chief Engineer Yang was a little curious, "If they do this, they are not on the moral high ground, how can they agree to it?!"
The return of White Rabbit No. 9 was carried out in a very high-key tone this time. In order to obtain information about Daxia, the other three countries did a lot of things to please them in the early stage.
As a result, he turned around and became a villain...
"If they want to join, they must agree..."
Seeing that he was silent, Colonel Chu said calmly: "If you don't agree, I will find someone else. There are many people with enough level..."
Chief Engineer Yang waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "No, this is the first time I'm swearing at someone under orders. What you said, I'll say what I want to say to you, right?"
"Yes, just like yesterday's energy, you can scold me as harshly as you want!"
"Don't worry, I won't be lenient!"
……
On October 7, 2028, aerospace heroes Zhang Tao, Liu Ning and Wang Dongdong successfully landed in Daxia on the White Rabbit 9 spacecraft under the attention of the world.
At the same time, Zhao Yu launched five satellites to the earth, barely achieving freedom of communication between the earth and the moon.
On this day, when Liu Ning had just returned to the space base, he received a call from the moon on his watch.
"Wait a minute, this is the moon's phone number!"
In an instant, the whole place fell silent, and Colonel Chu, who had been watching the scene in the background, immediately walked out.
The surveillance cameras near the base were immediately aimed at this area. Under Zhang Tao's command, the surrounding people dispersed.
After four rings, Liu Ning was ready and pressed the connect button.
Brush!
A figure appears.
Zhang Yixia appeared on the scene instantly as if traveling through time and space.
Everyone was shocked.
"This holographic projection is too real..."
"Shh~!"
The staff did not dare to take a breath and watched Zhang Yixia quietly.
"Ning Ning, have you arrived on Earth?" The projection touch watch can choose to display the person or the environment, so Zhang Yixia can only see Liu Ning.
"We're here..." Before Liu Ning could finish her words, Colonel Chu appeared right in front of her. He took a tablet a little beside Zhang Yixia's projection and typed out "Ask her when she will come to Earth!"
characters.
"Sister Xia, when will you come to Earth!" Upon seeing this, Liu Ning asked without leaving any trace.
"Our assessment hasn't ended yet, Ning Ning, I feel like I won't be able to pass this time..."
"Ah? What's going on?!"
Zhang Yixia cried and cried: "Many of the test questions are related to management. How can I understand these? I am all confused..."
Management?!
All the staff present were stunned, not understanding what this meant.
Only Colonel Chu and Chief Engineer Yang looked at each other and seemed to understand the meaning behind it.
After Colonel Chu reminded him once, he became quiet. After the two of them chatted for a while, they typed another line.
"Tell her that you have a friend who also wants a projection touch watch and ask her if there is a way to buy it!"
Liu Ning smiled and said: "Sister Xia, your watch is so easy to use, much easier to use than our mobile phones..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"A few of my best friends turned green after seeing the functions of the watch, and they all wanted to steal my watch..."
"Do you have any extra watches here? If possible, I would like to buy some for my friend..."
"Buy a watch?!"
Zhang Yixia was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
"If it's difficult, forget it..."
Seeing what Liu Ning said, Zhang Yixia gritted her teeth and said, "Ning Ning, I'll go find my supervisor and ask. If it's OK, I'll contact you again!"
"Okay, then Sister Xia, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
The call ends and the projection disappears.
Everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time they have seen aliens.
"It's amazing, aliens actually look like us!"
"Didn't Captain Zhang Tao and the others say that before?!"
"That's different. What you say and what you see with your own eyes are two different things..."
"Yes, this alien actually speaks Chinese!"
While everyone was discussing, Chief Engineer Yang and Colonel Chu walked into the quiet room.
"It seems that you are right, the aliens want to trade with us!"
"Well, I just don't know what they want..."
Colonel Chu actually wants an answer. If the aliens really damaged the spacecraft, they will definitely need some resources that can repair the spacecraft.
……
Moon base.
Just as Liu Ning stood in a circle behind him, Zhao Yu and others stood behind Zhang Yixia.
The difference is that Liu Ning can only see Zhang Yixia alone, but Zhao Yu can see Liu Ning and everyone around her.
As a manufacturer, if you don’t leave any backdoors in your products, you are not a good businessman.
Colonel Chu's behavior was naturally noticed by Zhao Yu, and he even looked at him a few more times.
He recognized his face. This was the first time he met the senior officials of Daxia Kingdom. He didn't expect it to be in this way.
"Uncle Da, are you connected to the earth's network?"
"It's connected. The Earth's network security technology is very backward. It has been invaded quietly. Except for the LAN that has never been connected to the Internet, all other information can be found..."
"Great, everything is uploaded to the database..."
Zhao Yu nodded, turned to look at Zhang Yixia, and said: "You see, you represent your respective positions first, and then your personal friendship..."
Zhang Yixia smiled and said: "I know, sir!"
Zhao Yu didn’t say much, just a reminder.
For the next half day, both parties were waiting.
In contrast, the Earth side is even more anxious. The think tank members of the four major countries who merged to join the Earth United Defense Agency are constantly analyzing the situation.
But no matter how much theory they talk about, it can't stop senior executives from thinking wildly and worrying that aliens don't want to trade.
Finally, as night fell, Zhang Yixia dialed Liu Ning's phone number again.
"Ning Ning, after I hung up the phone, I went to our supervisor immediately, but he didn't have the authority. He kept reporting it, and it wasn't until just now that he got the answer!"
The environment around Liu Ning has been changed to another secret base, and he is no longer surrounded by colleagues from the space agency, but members of the United Earth Defense Agency.
Everyone is staring at Zhang Yixia, looking forward to her next words.
"Sister Xia, what's the result?!" During the waiting process, many experts in negotiation and body language have analyzed the possible dialogue that will happen next, and have informed Liu Ning of all countermeasures in advance.
A smile appeared on Zhang Yixia's face, "The superiors agreed and decided to give away a batch of watches to your friends on earth..."
"How many are there?"
"It depends on how many friends you have!"
Liu Ning folded her hands and counted her seven aunts and eight aunts one by one. In order to make up the numbers, she even made up fictitious people.
After counting, she said with some anxiety: "Eighty-seven watches, Sister Xia, am I asking for too much?!"
"It's okay, it's just a watch..." Zhang Yixia changed her voice and said with a look of embarrassment: "It's okay to give it as a gift, but we have no plans to visit the earth in the short term..."
Upon seeing this, Colonel Chu quickly took out his tablet and typed a line of text.
"Ah, what a coincidence. We here on earth happen to have plans to go to the moon. We can ask our friends to help us with some..."
Liu Ning paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, our leaders also want to give away some special products from the earth. I don't know if we can get them..."
"You leaders?!"
Zhang Yixia was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Does it represent the earth?"
"Uh-huh, yes!" Liu Ning looked a little embarrassed. He had messed up his routine and did not follow the expert teaching of body language.
Deep in her heart, she already felt guilty for taking advantage of Zhang Yixia's feelings.
Seeing this scene, Colonel Chu couldn't help but sigh, this step was not taken into account. From this point of view, the aliens are more powerful than they imagined.
He didn't believe that Zhang Yixia really relied on personal emotions to communicate with Liu Ning.
Behind Zhang Yixia, there are definitely high-level aliens, but in the first game between the two sides, they lost a game.
Humanity?
Just when his thoughts were about to diverge, Colonel Chu stopped in time, came back to his senses and continued watching the conversation.
The next trend will be within the scope of their plan.
Zhang Yixia said that she could not represent the base and wanted to ask the leadership for instructions.
The call was hung up and picked up again half an hour later.
There is another person beside Zhang Yixia, it is Bajie.
Liu Ning also let Colonel Chu appear on the scene at the right time.
The two actresses were showing off their acting skills, feeling awkward and uneasy.
The two representatives began to negotiate on the transaction content.
After ten minutes of negotiation, the deal came to an end, and ended with major concessions on the part of the Earth.
After all, compared to the resource needs that aliens can slowly accumulate, people on earth more urgently need higher-end technology.
If you ask for too much, if the aliens don't trade and wait for decades until the spacecraft is repaired and left, they will get nothing.
The final result was two batches of spot transactions and an offline inspection to build a factory in the early stage.
For the first time, 10,000 watches are exchanged for some rare earth and rare metal resources.
The second 100,000 watches will be exchanged for more resources.
The third time, an alien representative was sent to Earth to inspect the construction of a global production line.
All earth currencies earned by Yue Fang can be unconditionally exchanged for resources from major countries around the world at a price 10% lower than the market price.
In the first transaction, the Earth side made a lot of concessions and compromises in order to show sincerity.
For Zhao Yu, the resources obtained from the first batch of 10,000 watches alone are enough for him to produce and build ten Star Destroyer Cannons.
While the world is still reporting on the deeds of three aerospace heroes, several major hegemonic countries have already launched four rockets loaded with resources and are flying towards the moon.
