If it weren't for the different-colored eyes and silvery hair, Jiang Chen would occasionally forget Lin Lin's identity as a digitalized human, as well as Tingting residing in her body.
The feeling of kissing a digitalized human was not much different from kissing other people. At the same time, he could feel the warmth that came from his saliva, the heartbeat that was beating like a deer, as well as the burning emotions …
In fact, that was enough.
The next morning, when Jiang Chen woke up, Lin Lin was sleeping soundly on his chest like a kitten.
He gently put Lin Lin aside and covered her with a blanket. Jiang Chen sat up from the bed and put on a set of pajamas. At the same time, he put on his watch.
"Two sandwiches, two cups of hot milk, room A702."
After calling the front desk and ordering two breakfasts, Jiang Chen went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out wrapped in a towel, the waitress already pushed the dining cart to the door and delivered the hot breakfast to his hands.
Perhaps because she smelled the aroma of the food, Lin Lin licked her lips and woke up from her sleep. Her slightly messy hair drooped on her face as she drowsily sat up from the bed and stared at the breakfast on the table for a while. Her cute little nose sniffed and she finally woke up.
"If you are awake, then come and eat. Remember to brush your teeth first." Jiang Chen threw the wrapping paper into the trash and quickly drank the last mouthful of milk.
"Are we still going to the Space Command Center today?" Lin Lin put on the T-shirt and murmured.
"No, we have to go back today."
"So soon?" Lin Lin pouted.
Only here could she have Jiang Chen to herself.
"We can't stay up there forever." Jiang Chen rubbed Lin Lin's head. "If there is a chance in the future, I will take you here to play."
"That's a promise."
Looking at Lin Lin's pouty mouth, Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
"Mhmm."
The trivial matter of canceling the hotel would naturally be taken care of by his assistant. Carrying his carry-on bag, Jiang Chen took Lin Lin to the tarmac by train and boarded the Aerospace G100 that had been waiting for a long time.
Almost as soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Chen received a call from Zhang Yaping, and the first sentence was not unexpected.
"Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov wants to meet with you."
"Russian Foreign Minister? How come I didn't hear about him visiting Xin? "
"I just applied yesterday. It should be a last-minute adjustment. Did something happen on your side?" Zhang Yaping couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you ask?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"Because it's not just the Russian Foreign Minister. Just yesterday afternoon, our consulates in various countries received more than a dozen requests for foreign affairs visits." Zhang Yaping said.
"Something has happened." Jiang Chen smiled. "But you will soon see it on the news, so I don't have to waste time here."
Zhang Yaping paused for a moment. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Jiang Chen didn't plan to say more, he gave up.
"What about the Russian Foreign Minister?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen replied.
"Let him wait for me at Future Building. I'll go there at about three o 'clock in the afternoon."
Jiang Chen wasn't worried about whether Ge Luowen would get in touch with other countries. Although all countries had a basic understanding of quantum communication technology, the technology to achieve faster than light communication using quantum entanglement was still firmly in the hands of Celestial Trade.
Even if Ge Luowen was interested in talking to other countries on Earth, those countries had to be able to hear his voice. Otherwise, it would be impossible to communicate while shouting from afar like a deaf person.
As for the communication between researchers from various countries and China, Jiang Chen couldn't stop it. A cooperative development project with an investment of hundreds of billions of Xin New dollars couldn't be like a black coal mine where the person was sent in without even making a sound.
There was no doubt that the astronauts on Europa must have edited the message into text yesterday and sent it back to Earth via radio. Just sending a message didn't require any sophisticated technology at all, not to mention the text sent was less than 1KB.
However, Jiang Chen didn't intend to stop it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much to Ge Luowen and let it cooperate with him to put on a show.
The first visitor was from Russia, which was within Jiang Chen's expectation.
After all, the starship was written in Russian.
The people in the Kremlin probably didn't get a good night's sleep last night.
…
"Hello."
In the reception room of the Future Building, Jiang Chen met Foreign Minister Lavrov.
He had already met the Foreign Minister from Moscow in several previous international conferences, so he wasn't unfamiliar with him.
After shaking hands with him, Jiang Chen invited him to take a seat and ordered the waiter to pour tea.
"Mr. Lavrov, what brings you here?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"I've heard some rumors recently and want to verify them." Lavrov smiled and said in a chatty tone, "I heard that under the ice sheet of Europa, there is a starship written in Russian? It also has the name of the Baikonur launch base written on it. I don't know if it's true. "
"It's like this." To Lavrov's surprise, Jiang Chen didn't hide the news. Not only did he admit it, but he also joked with him, "Although I don't know what's inside, it shouldn't be your lost spacecraft, right?"
In fact, a starship recently disappeared in the hangar of the Baikonur launch base …
Although Lavrov wanted to say this, he knew that he wouldn't believe it himself.
There were two main reasons for his visit to Xin this time. One was to figure out why the "alien" starship had the name of the Baikonur launch base written on it, and the other was about the salvage of the alien starship.
It was alien technology!
And it was a perfectly preserved universe ship!
This alone was enough to make countries around the world hold their breath.
If Celestial Trade didn't take them on before, it was understandable. After all, it was Celestial Trade's technology. If they were in Celestial Trade's position, they would most likely make the same choice. But now it was different. The major member states spent real money to develop the Europa system! If Celestial Trade wanted to monopolize it, it wouldn't make sense.
"Of course not, the question just now was just because of my personal curiosity." Lavrov smiled, "I don't know how Mr. Jiang Chen plans to deal with this alien starship?"
"Of course, we'll fish it up first, and then cooperate to develop it."
Jiang Chen's answer made Lavrov's eyes show a hint of surprise and disbelief.
Originally, he thought he would have to spend a lot of effort and even give up a lot of benefits that originally belonged to Russia, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to answer so decisively that he temporarily forgot the objective question of whether it was realistic to fish up the starship.
"It's just …" Just as Lavrov was stunned for a moment, Jiang Chen changed the topic and sighed softly, "The guests on that starship made a request that is a bit difficult to accept."
"Guests? You mean … "Lavrov's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flashed with obvious disbelief.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded, "It's not a ruin. There are living people living on it."
