Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Jinling Space Launch Center.

The second batch of colonial compartments and equipment to be sent to Mars is being packed for delivery to the space shuttle.

Although the list of scientific teams travelling to Mars for the second time has not yet been published, and the outside world knows nothing about the upcoming itinerary of the Ark to Mars, the matter has been insisted upon by the Ark itself and has become almost nailed on the board.

Even though he was expected to be more cautious on Changan Street, given the insistence of the Ark itself, the authorities ultimately did not make a hard retention.

However, the budget for the launch plan was completely doubled, and many of the equipment originally scheduled for launch to Mars in the third instalment were advanced to the launch plan.

Although, in the view of the Ark itself, his safety concerns were so overwhelmingly put first, and there was a somewhat inverted feeling at the end of the book, for the sake of the insistence of the relevant departments, he did not say much, silently grasped the good intentions.

On the third day of preparation for the launch, Director Lee came to the Jinling Space Launch Center with an unexpected person.

Staring at Schultz standing in front of him, the expression on the face of the ark was a bit strange. At one time, two people stared at each other so big that they forgot to even say hello to each other.

Feeling the subtlety of the atmosphere, Director Li coughed dry and looked at the strange ark and said.

“Let me introduce you to the representative of the German side. Professor Schultz from the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Bonn... Forget it, I'm guessing you know each other, I don't give a shit. ”

Ark: “… what brings you here? ”

Schultz sighed: “It's a long story… I didn't want to come. ”

In about five minutes, Schultz briefly talked about what had happened in the last few days. First Professor Fartings spoke to him, then the Federal Minister of Education and Research came to work with him personally, and then officials from the European Union came to harass him in the hope that he would be able to travel on behalf of the European Union to Mars to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations.

It also monitors whether China has fulfilled its commitment to send the "right signal” on behalf of human civilization to extraterrestrial civilizations.

Looking at Schultz, who was unwilling to speak, the ark hesitated for a while and cautioned. “In fact, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself… to go to Mars is still somewhat dangerous. ”

Schultz shook his head, saying.

“Before I became a mathematician, I was first a German citizen. If my country needs me, and for just reasons, I have no refusal. ”

He said, making a helpless smile on his face, shrugging his shoulders.

“Besides, aren't you going to do the same? Now that you're not afraid of an accident, I have no reason to back off. ”

“I'm just a lonely widow with no children and no family...”

Halfway through, the ark suddenly fell into silence.

All of a sudden, he felt somewhat selfish about this assertion, and although he had no family, he could never say that he was alone. It's not just his parents, Xiaotong, and his sisters who are going to marry him at the end of the year… there are too many people and things that he can't let go of if he wants to.

He can even imagine how many people would feel about themselves if they had an accident.

“All right, all right, can you guys stop saying such bad things?” Director Lee coughed up, "Let's say something happy. Didn't I say a while ago that the United Nations was discussing a political alliance for extraterrestrial civilizations? The Americans who bite their mouths off a while ago finally nodded. ”

“The name of the organization is tentatively ‘Humane Alliance’, known as FIDH, with our former Minister for Foreign Affairs as its first President. The by-laws of APC are currently being drafted, and you are also going to Mars in the name of APC… at least in the name of APC. ”

Compared to the United Nations, which plays the role of grandmother to the Commission, HLC is a relatively loose political coalition, somewhat like a community "owners' committee” with some executive powers.

Its main function is to coordinate countries and organizations with diverse global regimes, cultures and religions, to create a unified voice, to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations on behalf of the interests of humanity as a whole, and to exercise a range of powers, including declarations of war, peace talks, open trade, etc.

After all, there are more than 230 countries and regions on the planet, more than 2,000 ethnic groups, who expect aliens to understand the difference between Chinese and Americans, between freedom and concentration, between Confucian and Kidu cultural circles, as unscientific as those who expect Chinese to rely on the naked eye to distinguish between Nigerian blacks and Algerian blacks.

A unified voice is necessary.

Then there are the texts used for exchanges, the creation of "postcards” displaying Earth's civilization, the identification of technologies for open exchanges, cultural fields, and the development of diplomatic strategies.

The trouble is not small.

Looking at the headache on the face of the Ark, Director Li thought he was worried that the trouble would fall on his head, so he laughed and comforted him.

“Don't worry, this won't bother you, we have professionals to take care of these things and all you need to do is give some advice in your area of expertise. ”

The ark sighed.

“I'm not worried about this... Forget it, I'm listening to you. It seems like there's more than one or two people visiting that civilization outside the country this time? ”

Director Li laughed embarrassingly and said: “That's for sure. After all, we got quite a few benefits from the establishment of the People's Union. It's impossible not to show our sincerity. ”

Ark: “… OK, who else? ”

Director Lee: "Not much. In addition to you and Professor Schultz on behalf of the European Union, there is a British archaeologist, an American astrophysicist, and an aerospace engineer from Moscow. Plus Dr. Fan Tong, a fellow at the Mars Science Examination Station who went there once, and a bodyguard responsible for your safety, there are seven of them. ”

Seven...

Upon hearing this number, the canoe's eyebrows twitched.

Isn't that fucking a lot?!

Where's Father Pit?

took a deep breath, he said.

“I have a request! ”

Director Li immediately said with great attention: "Go ahead! ”

At this point, it can only continue now.

With this in mind, the Ark sorted out the idea of speaking in his head and looked at Director Li and said.

“In order to avoid irreversible accidents, I hope that I will be in charge of this diplomatic mission, which exchanges civilizations outside the field. ”

“I hope that I will be given the highest command on the ground in the organization, that other members will strictly obey my orders, and that I will kick anyone who disregards discipline out of the team. ”

Director Lee hesitated to say: "It is certain that you have the highest field command, and you have been decided to lead the team. But kicking out the team... I'm afraid we'll have to study it again, after all, it might turn out to be a diplomatic issue. ”

“But I promise to give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible! ”

Looking at the sincere Director Li, the Ark was a little impatient.

He swallowed back those later emphases, briefly locating his head and ending the conversation in the grassland.

“Well, thank you! ”

Looking at the two people communicating in Chinese, Schultz, left alone, scratched his back of his head with a fog.

I don't know if I'm delusional.

He always felt that this trip to Mars would not end easily...
