Earth Era

Zhao Lan also heard about the "Galaxy" class spacecraft. It can be said that the Galaxy-class spacecraft is the most advanced, best-performing, and most complex spacecraft that has been produced since the development of human civilization. Even using the title "engineering miracle" to describe it is not an exaggeration. Only three such spaceships have been produced in the entire human civilization, and all of them are equipped with the military and have not been used by civilians.

Zhao Lan didn't understand what Li Yunfan wanted to do with such a spaceship, but Zhao Lan didn't ask any more questions. Zhao Lan knew that since Li Yunfan did this, he must have a reason.

After talking about the matter, the atmosphere between Li Yunfan and the head of state became much more harmonious. The head of state walked a few steps on Watson Square with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at the sky. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful starry sky. Come to think of it... I haven't seen such a beautiful starry sky for several years." The starry sky.”

Li Yunfan smiled and said: "This starry sky will always exist. You can watch it every day from now on until you get tired of it."

The head of state smiled and shook his head: "No matter how good things are, you can't always enjoy them frequently. That will quickly lose its appeal. By the way, Zhao Lan, Li Yunfan, do you two want to join the scientific research department? Celebration party?”

"Forget it," Li Yunfan said, "I just returned to Earth and am a little tired."

"Well, when you confirm the wedding date, let me know and I will definitely arrive on time." The head of state turned around and said, "Goodbye."

Zhao Lan and Li Yunfan waved to the head of state's back and said at the same time: "Goodbye."

The head of state left, and An Liya, Cruz, and Zhou Xiaoming hurried over. When they saw Li Yunfan, An Liya and the other three were almost speechless with excitement. Li Yunfan smiled and waved his hand: "No need to say anything now, let's go home first."

So the group of five people returned to their residence near Watson Square along the quiet street. After sitting down separately, An Liya and the other two first reported to Li Yunfan some things that had happened since they lost contact with him. Li Yunfan just listened quietly and did not speak. He just frowned after hearing about Rodriguez's rebellion.

"Since this guy is dead, there is no need to say anything else. We are all people with normal identities now. Don't do those things of fighting and killing again." Li Yunfan said calmly, "Anli Ya. Zhou Xiaoming, Cruise...you three have been following me for a long time, right?"

An Liya and the three of them said at the same time: "Yes, boss, it has been more than ten years."

Li Yunfan sighed: "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have followed me for such a long time. Although you have gained a lot, you have also lost a lot. I think you should also experience the experience of normal people. What is life like? From now on, don’t follow me anymore. The companies and consortia under my name will be transferred to your names respectively. From now on, you can live your own life, talk about love and travel in your free time. Traveling and exploring is quite nice, isn’t it?”

After Li Yunfan said these words, the expressions of An Liya and the other three people changed at the same time. An Liya, who was always careless and hot-tempered, even had red circles under her eyes. Even tears welled up. Zhao Lan had never seen this kind of scene before.

"Boss, you. Don't you want us anymore?" An Liya's voice was trembling as she spoke.

Li Yunfan smiled and wiped away the tears on An Liya's face, and said softly: "You three are like my little brothers and sisters. How could I not want you? But from now on, you should also have Your life should no longer be centered on me. If you have time and think of me, you can come see me at any time. Zhao Lan and I will definitely welcome you."

An Liya and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. An Liya still had tears on her face, but her head was already shaking hard: "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely visit you often."

"Okay, okay, everyone is tired after a long night. Let's go and rest now. I still have something to say to Zhao Lan." Li Yunfan waved his hand. An Liya and the three of them dispersed and returned to their rooms. As for whether they can still fall asleep, I don't know.

Zhao Lan was certain that Li Yunfan's previous proposal to hand over all his power in exchange for the head of state clearing the identities of his group was not a request for himself, but for An Liya and the others. Obviously, Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan thought about this issue together, and both thought that An Liya and the others should have their own lives. Now that everything had been resolved satisfactorily, Zhao Lan felt relaxed.

"You must still have many questions in your mind." After An Liya and the others left, Li Yunfan said to Zhao Lan, "It's still a long time. You ask slowly and I will answer you one by one."

Zhao Lan did have many questions in his mind, but at this time, all of them suddenly disappeared and he couldn't remember any of them. Now, Zhao Lan truly understood a truth. Compared with his future life, previous questions and the like were actually irrelevant.

Those small questions have disappeared, but there is only one question that Zhao Lan has always maintained full of curiosity, and that is where Li Yunfan's black hole came from. Rodriguez previously said that Li Yunfan's black hole was picked up from around the earth, but this is obviously impossible. And it is impossible for human civilization to have the technology to create a black hole, not even Li Yunfan can do it.

So Zhao Lan asked: "I have only one question, where did you get your black hole?"

Li Yunfan had a genuine expression on his face: "I had expected that you would ask me this question. It doesn't matter, I will tell you the truth from beginning to end."

Li Yunfan casually picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took a sip. His eyes narrowed, as if he was lost in distant memories: "Before I answer your question... let me ask you a question first. Zhao Lan, do you really believe it? The government of human civilization has lost its ambition to explore the universe. Even if it has built a city on Mars, is it still unwilling to take another step to explore Jupiter?"

Zhao Lan said subconsciously: "Isn't it... hmm?"

Zhao Lan did think so before, but now that Li Yunfan asked this question, Zhao Lan realized that there was something weird in it. There are no fools in the government and the Ministry of Science and Technology, especially civilized leaders, who are even less likely to make such stupid mistakes. It is impossible for them not to understand that only the stars and the sea are the destination of mankind, so...why on earth is it that the human government has been severely restricting the exploration of Jupiter?

Seeing that Zhao Lan was deep in thought, Li Yunfan said: "Actually... the human government has already reached the Jupiter system, and even further, Uranus and Neptune. As for Pluto, I don't know. Based on what I know, According to intelligence, the human government has always had a plan to land on Pluto, but I don’t know if it has been implemented.”

Zhao Lan responded quickly: "Are you saying that the human government has arrived at Jupiter a long time ago and just concealed these things for some reason?"

When thinking of this, Zhao Lan felt a little ashamed. Because Zhao Lan still clearly remembers that when he first attended the Scientific Research Department Conference, he mercilessly criticized the head of state in person for losing his enterprising spirit, which caused great embarrassment to the head of state. Who would have thought that it was not the head of state who lost his enterprising spirit, but just himself who did not see all this clearly.

"It's rare that the head of state could swallow his anger at that time. Not only did he not refute me in person, but he admitted his mistakes in governing in public..." Zhao Lan thought secretly.

In response to Zhao Lan's question, Li Yunfan directly gave a positive answer: "Yes, the reason why the human government concealed the Jupiter manned exploration plan is because it does not want private forces to participate. Because obviously, in the current era of interstellar development, Next, as long as the human government has explored the Jupiter system, the subsequent civil forces will inevitably demand to go further and seize territory and interests in the Jupiter system. This will become an unstoppable trend. In order to avoid this situation appeared, the human government simply declared that the Jupiter system had not been explored by humans, thus fundamentally avoiding trouble."

Zhao Lan subconsciously asked: "Then...why should the human government avoid this situation? First, the government detects it, and then introduces social forces to develop the Jupiter system. Isn't this a thing that is beneficial to mankind?"

"Because there is a huge secret in the Jupiter system." Li Yunfan said to Zhao Lan mysteriously: "The reason why the human government prohibits private forces from participating in the exploration of the Jupiter system is to ensure that this secret is not discovered by others. , and the second is to avoid possible accidents and dangers.”

Zhao Lan's heart was itching like a cat scratching. Zhao Lan knew that this secret must be very important. In order to keep this secret, the human government even risked being accused of "complacency" and "losing the spirit of exploration" to strictly prohibit the Jupiter exploration plan. But what is the secret? What kind of secret qualifies human governments to pay such a huge price?

"The black hole I obtained is related to this secret." Li Yunfan said leisurely: "When I first learned about this secret from the teacher, I was also shocked, but when I really arrived at the Jupiter system, I really saw When I arrived... I confirmed that all this was true.”

"The secret is... there are one or more unknown civilization ruins on the Jupiter system." (To be continued ~^~)
