nThe helicopter swiftly flew and landed at a base at Shanghai.

nCoincidentally, another helicopter landed at the same spot at the same time, and an old man walked out of it.

nWhen Professor Liu saw the old man, he was taken aback and approached him, saying, “Old Wang, you’re here too?”

nThe old man turned around and recognized him as an old acquaintance.

n“Professor Liu, are you also participating in this project?”

nWith a slap on his forehead, he laughed and said, “It’s normal for you to come.

nYou’ve always wanted to join the Academy of Science and Technology, and now is the perfect opportunity.”

nProfessor Liu shrugged and didn’t dwell on the matter, instead asking, “According to these agents, we were summoned here to participate in a nuclear fusion project. Do you know any details?”

nProfessor Wang shook his head and said, “I don’t know. These agents have tight lips and haven’t revealed anything.”

n“Once you two enter inside, you will find out. We are only responsible for receiving people…”

nAn agent spoke, extending his hand in a welcoming gesture.

nThe two of them didn’t hesitate and followed several agents into the base.

nInside the base, they discovered a large gathering of experts and scholars invited by the Earth Federation.

nMany of them were familiar faces, and even those they hadn’t met before were well-known figures.

nProfessor Liu, who had been somewhat arrogant before, immediately adjusted his demeanor upon seeing this group of equally capable individuals. He walked alongside Professor Wang and inquired about the nuclear fusion project.

n“We don’t know either. We just arrived recently…”

nThe scholars present were just as clueless about the project. They had no clear understanding of it.

n“So this is about nuclear fusion, and they’ve got all us here sitting in one room. Could it be that they’ve made some progress?!”

n“It’s highly likely. Offering qualifications to enter the Academy of Science and Technology and providing houses as well. They are certainly making significant moves…”

nAs the scholars discussed, a commotion erupted in the distance, and a group of people approached them.

n“Director Yang?!”

nProfessor Liu widened his eyes in surprise. He hadn’t expected that Director Yang would also be invited to this project.

nDirector Yang was considered the most outstanding scientist of contemporary Earth. He had proposed numerous groundbreaking theories, and some had even said that he might surpass Einstein a century later.

nProfessor Liu and Professor Wang exchanged glances and hurriedly approached Director Yang.

n“Director Yang, did you initiate this nuclear fusion project?”

n“Director Yang, has there been any progress with controlled nuclear fusion that prompted the Federation to summon us?!”

nPeople bombarded him with questions, as they were more interested in the project’s details than Director Yang’s status.

nDirector Yang came forward, spread his hands, and shook his head. “I didn’t initiate the project. I was invited to participate as well…”

n“What?! You don’t know either?!”

nEveryone was shocked. If this renowned figure didn’t know, then who was behind this project?!

nWhile they were discussing, Colonel Chu and two agents walked out from the side.

n“Colonel Chu has arrived!”

nThe scene immediately quieted down. As the representative, Director Yang stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

nColonel Chu glanced around, smiled, and said, “Now that everyone is here, let me explain the purpose of your invitation…”

nHe walked to the front and uttered a sentence that shocked everyone present.

n“In one day, the first nuclear fusion power plant on Earth will be completed!” “What?! How is that possible?!”

nThe whole room erupted in astonishment. Everyone was taken aback by this news.

n“Colonel Chu, please don’t joke with us old folks. I have a weak heart, and if this is a prank, I’ll be upset!”

n“Yes, Colonel Chu, you need to clarify!”

nAs the scholars clamored, Colonel Chu smiled and said, “I’m not joking, and you didn’t mishear me. In one day, the controlled nuclear fusion power plant invested by Blue Moon Technology will be built in the Shanghai.”

n“Blue Moon Technology?!”

nSome experts who were unaware of external affairs found the name unfamiliar.

n“Blue Moon Technology, the company behind magnetic levitation cars and holographic touch watches?”

nWhile ordinary people might be more concerned about the impact of robots on their lives, the experts and scholars were intrigued by the technologies implied by the other two products.

n“That’s correct!”

nColonel Chu nodded. “Once the nuclear power plant is completed, I need you to form a research team to investigate how controlled nuclear fusion can be achieved from this power plant…”

nThe scholars looked at each other, feeling that Blue Moon Technology seemed even more mysterious.

nAlthough everyone present was a top scientist, their expertise lay in theoretical science. Surprisingly, when it came to the matter of extraterrestrial life, they were less informed than those who studied applied sciences.

nDirector Yang’s expression turned serious, and he asked, “Colonel Chu, isn’t

nBlue Moon Technology from Great Xia?”

nColonel Chu nodded and continued, “Not only are they not from Great Xia, but they are also not from Earth!”

n“What?!”

nThe entire room was stunned. Each person wore a look of shock and disbelief.

n“Have aliens really arrived?!”

nDirector Yang asked excitedly, “But didn’t Voyager 1 expose its coordinates?!”

nHis late friend had always warned humanity not to send signals to the universe or respond to any signals from outer space, fearing contact with extraterrestrial beings.

nColonel Chu pursed his lips and said, “We still don’t know if Voyager 1 exposed its coordinates, but extraterrestrial beings have indeed arrived. They are on the far side of the moon…”

n“Are the extraterrestrials native inhabitants of the moon? What do they look like?”

n“Are they carbon-based life forms like us?”

n“How do their intelligence and technology compare to humans?”

n“How advanced are their civilisation?”

nPeople bombarded Colonel Chu with questions.

nDue to time constraints, Colonel Chu could only address a few key points. As he saw signs of further questions, he quickly interrupted.

n“Everyone, I can’t answer many of your questions. Please refrain from asking more. Let me explain, and you listen…”

n“First, the extraterrestrials are not native inhabitants of the Moon. They come from outer space, but we don’t know exactly where they come from…”

n“Second, we don’t know what the extraterrestrials look like because they communicate with us through representatives who arc Earthlings…”

n“Third, the extraterrestrials want to advance Earth’s technology by repairing their mothership, which allows them to travel across star systems. Only then will they engage in trade with us…”

n“Fourth, once the extraterrestrial mothership is successfully repaired, it will be the destruction of Earth!”

n“Fifth, we must develop our own technology to protect humanity before the extraterrestrials destroy Earth…”

nAs Colonel Chu reached this point, he noticed that the scholars were all stunned, seemingly taken aback by this truth.

nHe shook his head and spoke earnestly, “Everyone, the fate of humanity rests in your hands. I urge you to give your all. Once the nuclear fusion power plant, invested by the extraterrestrials, is completed, study and research it as soon as possible, and refine the related theories….”
