nFirst Contact Between Earth and Alien Civilization

n“Liu Ning, can you contact Zhang Yi Xia now?”

n“I can’t contact her. She said it would take a few more days until they set up a new communication channel…”

nSenior Colonel Chu nodded and turned to look at Chief Engineer Yang, who still had a sour expression on his face. A stiff smile appeared on his face.

n“Old Yang, it was my fault yesterday. I didn’t consider your feelings. I apologize!”

nChief Engineer Yang and the other staff members certainly didn’t expect Senior Colonel Chu to say that.

n“You … You are apologizing because you want me to do something for you, right?”

n“Yes!”

nSenior Colonel Chu nodded, “The higher-ups have approved the establishment of the Earth Joint Defense Agency with the other three countries. I am the first person in charge, and I want you to help me!”

n“Huh??”

nChief Engineer Yang sneered and said,”You fired me yesterday, and now you want me to work for you?”

n“Yesterday, you and I were on different sides. In your opinion, Zhang Tao and the other two are more important. In my opinion, the safety of the country is more important…”

n“Today, we stand on the same side. We are all doing this for the country and the people…”

nThis guy…

nChief Engineer Yang didn’t really think that Senior Colonel Chu was someone that could be trusted, but he realised that he might be wrong. The thing was, if Senior Colonel Chu really had his own selfish motives, he wouldn’t have taken the risk of offending him yesterday. The man had his priorities, and maybe he was just taking his job seriously.

nThere was about ten seconds of silence. Chief Engineer Yang seemed to have understood something and said calmly,”I know!”

nChief Engineer Yang agreed in the end. After what happened yesterday, he thought about it carefully and realised that he had indeed overreacted.

nHe was the chief engineer first, and then Zhang Tao’s friend second. That being said, he got too emotional yesterday after realising that his good friend was actually alive. Senior Colonel Chu had his reasons, but he still found it rude that he was interrupting their reunion.

n“Let’s talk in private!”

nAfter Senior Colonel Chu got to know Chief Engineer Yang as a person, he decided to get to business straightaway.

nThe two of them came to a quiet room.

n“The higher-ups are preparing to restart nuclear tests and research more powerful weapons to deal with the possible crisis brought by aliens…”

nSenior Colonel Chu said slowly, “We can’t let the public know about any of this. They will probably know that we are conducting tests, but we will not let them know that we are doing this because of aliens…”

nChief Engineer Yang had an ominous feeling in his heart. He said, “What do you mean?”

n“We’ll say that there are no aliens. We’ll say that the other three countries thought that White Rabbit Nine did not survive and wanted to salvage it. In the end, they failed. During this period, they caused a hindrance on the moon, causing our search and rescue work to be delayed quite a bit…”

n“Just tell me what you want me to do!”

n“Use the same attitude you used to scold me yesterday to scold Thomas and Jax…”

nSenior Colonel Chu added, “I’ve already spoken to the three countries. Thomas and Jax will mock and ridicule you. After they do, the Internet will take advantage of the situation to create an environment for discussion on the re-development of nuclear weapons…”

nChief Engineer Yang was a little curious, “They agree to be the bad guys?! How’s that possible?”

nThis time, White Rabbit Nine’s return was a very important matter. In order to obtain information, the other three countries had done a lot of things to suck up to Great Xia.

nBut for them to act as the bad guys…

n“If they want to join, they must agree to this…”

nSenior Colonel Chu said lightly, “If you don’t want to play the role, I’ll find someone else. There are a lot of people who can do this…”

nChief Engineer Yang said with a smile, “No, I’ll do it. Actually, this is the first time I’ve been ordered to scold someone. The job sounds interesting. You want me to tell Thomas and Jax what I told you, right?”

n“Yes, just like yesterday, scold as ruthlessly as you can!”

n“Got it. As ruthless as I can!”

n..

nOn October 7th, 2028, the space heroes Zhang Tao, Liu Ning, and Wang Dong Dong landed in the Great Xia in the White Rabbit Nine spacecraft.

nAt the same time, Zhao Yu launched five satellites to Earth, barely achieving the freedom of communication between the Earth and the Moon.

nOn the same day, Liu Ning received a call from the moon on his watch when he returned to the space base.

n“Wait, this is a call from the Moon!”

nIn an instant, the entire place fell silent. Senior Colonel Chu, who was watching the scene from backstage, walked out.

nThe surveillance cameras in the vicinity of the base were aimed at this side immediately. Under Zhang Tao’s command, the surrounding people scattered.

nAfter four rings, Liu Ning pressed the answer button.

nShua

n!

nA figure appeared.

nZhang Yi Xia seemed to have traveled through time and space and appeared at the scene in an instant.

nEveryone was shocked.

n“This holographic projection is too realistic…”

n“Shh!”

nThe staff member did not even dare to breathe loudly as he quietly watched Zhang Yi Xia.

n“Ning-Ning, have you arrived on Earth?”

nThe projection touch watch could display either the person or the background. Right now, Zhang Yi Xia could only see Liu Ning and not the background.

n“We’re here, we’re here…” Before Liu Ning could finish her sentence, Senior Colonel Chu appeared in front of her. He took out a tablet and typed, “Ask her when she will come to Earth!”

n“Sister Xia, when are you coming to Earth?” Liu Ning asked quietly.

n“Our assessment is not over yet. Ning-Ning, I don’t think I can pass this time…”

n“What? What happened?”

nZhang Yi Xia cried, “Many of the questions are related to management. How would I know anything about that? I guessed most of the answers…”

nManagement?

nThe staff members didn’t know what to do. They did not understand what this meant.

nSenior Colonel Chu and Chief Engineer Yang looked at each other in silence. They were the only ones who seemed to understand the meaning behind this.
