When Ye Chen and Professor Pan returned to the room where the quantum communication device was located, Xiao Yan was excitedly chatting with them.
"Xiao Yan, do you know who the other party is?" Professor Pan asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.
“Professor Pan, Mr. Ye, based on their description, they should also be in human form,” Xiao Yan replied.
Professor Pan gaped in astonishment: "How is that possible? How could they all happen to be human-shaped despite being so far apart!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be a descendant of the mythical civilization," Ye Chen said with certainty.
"If it really is them, this civilization has existed for millions of years, so it should have developed into an advanced civilization by now, right?" Professor Pan asked in surprise.
Ye Chen shook his head: "Obviously not. At least for so many years, they have never returned to Blue Star. I don't think it's because they don't want to come back, but more likely because they can't."
After saying that, he asked Xiao Yan directly, "Xiao Yan, did the other party reveal any other information?"
"They kept asking if we are the kingdom of the gods," Xiao Yan said after a moment's thought.
"The Kingdom of God?"
Ye Chen stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "People only call things miracles those they cannot understand or that far exceed their own power. Judging from this title, the other civilization is obviously not very advanced; at least they don't even have quantum entanglement technology."
"Is this really a mythical civilization that left Earth? From what you're saying, it sounds like this civilization is even more backward than Earth," Professor Pan asked, looking puzzled.
"Mythological civilization is a civilization of cultivation, and its understanding of technological civilization is limited."
Ye Chen guessed, "However, I am more inclined to believe that there was a break in the civilization. Judging from the information left by the mythical civilization, they were forced to retreat in order to avoid being harvested by the advanced civilization. Obviously, they still couldn't escape it."
After saying that, he shook his head and said to Xiao Yan, "Continue talking to them and learn more about them. Report back to me if there are any new developments."
"Yes, Mr. Ye," Xiao Yan nodded excitedly.
"Mr. Ye, aren't you going to greet them personally?" Professor Pan asked, puzzled.
The thought of making direct contact with aliens 1,000 light-years away is quite exciting, but Ye Chen in front of him doesn't seem very interested.
Ye Chen smiled calmly and said, "Since their civilization level is not as high as I imagined, the initial contact is nothing more than exchanging information and getting to know each other, which is not very meaningful. I'll wait until I have a certain understanding before I communicate with them."
As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the room. Behind him, Professor Pan, upon hearing this, also lost interest in communicating. He gave a wry smile, gave Xiao Yan a few words of advice, and then came out as well.
After saying goodbye to Professor Pan, Ye Chen found Wang Yuxi leading a training session on the moon.
At this moment, Wang Yuxi, dressed in a smart military uniform, stood at the front of the team, directing the members in training.
Her gaze was focused and resolute, her expression serious, just like when Ye Chen first met her.
Ye Chen stopped the guard who was about to remind Wang Yuxi and said, "Let her finish her training, I'll go to her room and wait for her."
After saying that, he went to wait for Wang Yuxi in her room at the base without disturbing her.
Upon entering the room, Ye Chen immediately sensed Wang Yuxi's presence. The room was simply yet warmly decorated, with a photo of her and Ye Chen on the bedside table.
Ye Chen sat on the bed and picked up a book from the bedside table, "Annotations on Sun Tzu's Art of War," and began to read.
The wisdom of ancient warfare remains applicable even in modern interstellar warfare.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Ye Chen knew that Wang Yuxi had returned. He put down his book and stood up.
Wang Yuxi hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. When she saw Ye Chen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a bright smile.
She strode towards Ye Chen and threw herself into his arms, asking with a hint of excitement in her voice, "Ye Chen, when did you arrive? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Ye Chen smiled as he looked at her, gently stroking her hair, his eyes full of tenderness: "I missed you, so I came to see you."
Wang Yuxi felt Ye Chen's caress, her pretty face slightly flushed, her heart filled with sweetness.
"You've come at the perfect time. I have some good news to tell you." Wang Yuxi looked up, pulled Ye Chen's hand to sit down, and said excitedly.
"What good news?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"The selection of fleet members went very smoothly this time. Of the thousand people who participated, nearly half met the requirements!"
Wang Yuxi continued, her eyes gleaming with pride, "With systematic training, they will all become excellent space warriors."
Ye Chen looked at Wang Yuxi, his heart filled with pride: "I knew you could do a good job. Entrusting the fleet to you was absolutely the right choice."
Feeling even sweeter inside from Ye Chen's praise, Wang Yuxi's smile became even brighter.
"By the way, how did you suddenly end up on the moon? Is the experiment going well?" Wang Yuxi asked with concern, remembering Ye Chen's situation.
"The experiment went smoothly, and the advanced body enhancement agent has been successfully manufactured," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Wang Yuxi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Does that mean we can start mass production soon? If all the team members take the advanced body enhancement agent, they will be even more powerful in interstellar battles!"
Ye Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and had to discourage her, saying, "The enhancement agent has been developed, but it's a bit different from what we originally expected. Advanced body enhancement agents can only be customized for individuals, and they have extremely high requirements for the individual's physical condition, as well as a relatively high failure rate. At present, we are not ready for mass use."
"Oh, I see."
Wang Yuxi lowered her head in disappointment, but then she raised it again, her face regaining its optimism. "It's okay, we can strengthen the team members who meet the requirements first, and then gradually improve the strengthening agent. I believe you can definitely solve the mass production problem!"
"You seem to have faith in me!"
Looking into Wang Yuxi's trusting eyes, Ye Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He reached out and took Wang Yuxi's hand, saying, "Don't worry, I will solve these problems and improve the safety of the reagents so that everyone can have the opportunity to use them!"
"Yes, of course I have confidence in you!" Wang Yuxi looked at Ye Chen with admiration, her eyes sparkling with love.
They lingered for a while longer when Wang Yuxi seemed to suddenly remember something. She pushed away Ye Chen's hands that were roaming over her body and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I almost forgot! I made a special reservation for dinner at the restaurant, and it's almost time!"
Ye Chen squinted slightly, his breathing a little rapid, and said, "Dinner can wait, right now I just want to...eat you..."
