"Hello? Academician Lu, hey rare guest, your closing is over at last? "

Office of the director of science, technology and industry.

Director Li, who was sitting at his desk, was reviewing the documents. Unexpectedly, he received a phone call from Lu Zhou, but he was very happy.

On the one hand, it's because of the sudden closure of the land boat. I think the research has made progress. On the other hand, it's because the land boat hasn't actively called him for a long time!

However, just when he was ready to listen to what was bothering him, the tone on the other end of the phone was a little out of place.

At least, it's different from what he thought.

"Let's not talk about anything else. What is the prehistoric remains on Mars

“…… What, what's the matter? "

Being confused by this question, director Li, holding the phone, was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

Realizing that his statement may have been misunderstood, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, changed his statement and continued to ask.

“…… Well, I'll change the question. How did the remains of the Martian civilization and the news of the extraterrestrial civilization suddenly become public in my closed days? "

"Oh, you're talking about it," said director Li, leaning back on his desk chair and smiling. "It's complicated And didn't I tell you about it some time ago? "

Lu Zhou:

What the hell?

When did you say that?

Seeing that the phone didn't move for half a day, director Li couldn't help feeling embarrassed and coughed gently to remind him.

"Don't you remember? Maybe five days ago or six days ago. I called you at that time. I hope you will come to Beijing for a meeting. We will sit together and study together. As a result, you threw a "whatever you like" on the phone to me and then hung up. I heard that you were closed, so I didn't call you back. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. You haven't called me back! "

Don't forget

It's such a big thing that Lu Zhou has no impression at all.

“…… And then you're free? "

Director Li said with a embarrassed smile, "how could it be! This kind of thing can't be easy We had three working meetings, and all the experts who could be called in were invited, first to seek opinions within a small range, and then to vote on a limited range of show of hands. Finally, 310 votes to 270 votes passed the resolution to open the remains of Mars, lifting the ban on some top secret content. "

"Although I abstained at that time, I turned around and thought afterwards that what those experts in international relations said really made sense. When the interests are not clear, the risk is too great for the international community to contact with the extraterrestrial civilization alone. Other countries will be suspicious of us, and we can't let go of ourselves. If we take a wrong step, it may destroy the diplomatic achievements that we have managed so hard over the past ten years in a small way. In a large way, it is a diplomatic crisis rising to the level of civilization. "

"Anyway, we are the only one who can send people to Mars now. We have the initiative from the very beginning. In this case, it's not necessary for us to engage in covertly, directly and openly contact with the extraterrestrial civilization, and then use this as a chip to establish an international "foreign-related" organization that can represent the voice of all mankind, which is the right way to build a community of shared future for mankind! "

Listening to Director Li on the other end of the phone, he was impassioned. On the other side of the boat, he was holding his forehead for a while.

Now, whether it's the manned fire boarding office or the high-level building of Chang'an Street, it seems that everyone has recognized that the voice under the "hell gate" belongs to the extraterrestrial civilization.

And according to their "inference", the technological level of this civilization is not low.

One is to be able to use completely unknown technologies on earth, the other is to survive on Mars with supply cut off, the third is to estimate the life span of billions of years, and they take the proof of ABC conjecture as the threshold of communication, at least they have surpassed the earth civilization in mathematics.

And mathematics is the foundation of all scientific foundations. At least they have a higher imagination space in the upper limit of technology. With this imaginary space alone, it is enough for people on earth to be cautious.

In fact, there is no problem in this analysis. If we don't know the internal situation, most of the land boats will do the same.

The problem, however, is that he knows the inside story.

That relic is really a "thing", a relic from a civilization beyond a certain time. There is no doubt that he is not an extraterrestrial civilization, but what this "extraterrestrial civilization" represents is obviously different from the extraterrestrial civilization most people imagine.

At least, human civilization has no hope of establishing diplomatic relations with a planet a few light-years away

Of course, Lu Zhou can pretend that he doesn't know anything. After all, in his current position, it's really not a particularly difficult thing to hide from others.But now the national problem has risen to the international level. Even if he wants to operate something secretly, it is not so difficult.

For example, now, the evidence of the remains of Mars has won a lot of diplomatic capital for China, but at the same time, it has also given China a lot of international responsibility. Now, not only the Chinese people, but people all over the world are ready to make the first close contact with the extraterrestrial civilization. Even though this will not affect his "treasure hunt" plan to Mars, it will still add many variables to it.

At that end of the phone, there was no response. Director Li, who had been talking for a long time, could not help feeling bored. Out of fear that Lu Zhou had thrown the phone to one side, he could not help but ask in a low voice.

“…… So, what's the problem? "

“…… No. "

"You can't call just for this matter," said director Li with tears and smiles after hearing the voice of Lu Zhou. "It didn't matter what you said at the beginning!"

"This is my pot But what you said is also right. It's also good to be open. "

Even if it was him, he would definitely wait until he came back from Mars to play this card. However, it involves a problem of poor information, and he can't criticize it too much. After all, from the perspective of national interests, it's the right choice for the current Chinese nation.

Sighed, land boat changed a topic to continue to say.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this There's another thing I have to tell you. "

Premonition has the big event son to happen, director Li immediately whole body spirit one vibration.

"Please tell me!"

However, after all, he underestimated how amazing the information contained in the next sentence.

I saw the boat pause for a moment and said.

"About that ABC guess..."

"I've got it on my side."

……

"What happened?"

In the activity room of LSPM research group, looking at the strange expression on the face of the land boat coming back from the outside, Schulz could not help but slightly froze, worried and asked.

Looking at these three team-mates who have great trust in themselves, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly.

"There is something important that I have to confess to you."

Schulz, wangyuexinyi and Perelman exchanged their eyes and read the confused emotions from each other's eyes.

There was silence in the activity room.

Just as Lu Zhou was thinking about breaking the silence by himself, Schulz suddenly began to do so for him.

"So You're getting married? "

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou, who had been brewing emotions for a long time at the door, almost didn't choke on her saliva, and her tears were almost squeezed out.

"Cough - what? How do you think of it? "

Shultz shrugged and said helplessly.

"Because your expression is too serious, in my impression It seems that this is the only thing that needs some psychological preparation to say. "

"I see," he said after staring at the boat for a long time, his expression became more and more strange, and continued, "what you want to say is Are you an alien? "

“…… Well, don't guess, "Lu sighed." I'm not an alien, but How can we say that we - or what we study - have something to do with extraterrestrial civilization. "

Although he knows what the truth is, he should cooperate with Guan Xuan to perform. Otherwise, it's hard to explain the truth. Thinking of this, Lu Zhou has weaved a set of white lies in his mind. However, he soon found that before he could tell the story, the three people were stunned.

Obviously, in this period of time, like the land boat, they have no idea about the matter that is making a lot of noise in the world at the moment.

Sighed in the heart, and the boat went straight to the point.

“…… I'll go straight to the point. "

"In short, ABC conjecture is the dialogue threshold set by the extraterrestrial civilization, which proves that it is the premise for us to have a smooth dialogue with each other It may seem like I'm a little crazy to say that, but it's the truth. If you don't believe it, just watch the news later. "

"So I'm very sorry. "

"I may have used you."

Perelman: "..."

Schulz: "...?"

Looking forward to a new day: "...?"
