Chapter 64: The Interstellar Review Team Arrives (First Order Request!)
"The interstellar review team and the Blue Star escorts are still approximately 10 hours away from our Silver Grey Star."
"They will arrive at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Due to special reasons, they will not pass through the starport and will land directly in our Silver Ash City."
Minister Qin looked solemnly at the people below him. "When the time comes, we will take over their security work on Silver Ash Star. I hope nothing goes wrong!"
"clear!"
The next step was to assign tasks. The landing place was chosen to be the First Sports Plaza in Silver Ash City, as there was more open space there.
But precisely because it is located in the city center, surrounded by tall buildings, there are many sniper points.
"Who dares to touch them?" Old Yao said nonchalantly. "Forget the Interstellar Review Team. Even if they stamp their feet a little, Silver Ash City will shake three times."
"Besides, they have their own security team, and their personal security are all D-class life forms. We are just going through the motions."
Yang Peng was very displeased with Lao Yao's carefree attitude and frowned, "Do you know how many people are in the entire team? 312. Those core members are naturally not in any danger, but what about the others?"
"Including reporters from major Blue Star media outlets. If something really happens, do you want to appear on the news?"
Old Yao paused and looked a little embarrassed.
"Li Ming..." They were making arrangements when the security chief came over.
"Section Chief..."
"Section Chief..." Several people greeted him hurriedly.
"You guys are busy, you guys are busy..." Section Chief Wang said kindly, "Li Ming, come with me. Um, Yang Peng, don't assign him any tasks."
Li Ming followed him away.
"Is this a special mission?" Old Yao said enviously. "Li Ming has a bright future. Being young is great. Unlike us old hands."
"Look at the defense map!" Yang Peng retracted his gaze and scolded.
…
He was taken to a separate office by Section Chief Wang, but there were quite a few people there, including several acquaintances, such as Wang Zhiheng and Zuo Ling.
Seeing him come in, many people were surprised. Wang Zhiheng frowned slightly and muttered to Zuo Ling beside him, "Old Yang is really willing to give up such a good opportunity."
Li Ming heard some whispered discussions and was slightly surprised.
Zuo Ling ignored him and nodded slightly to Li Ming. She had a good impression of this young man. He had handled the sniper very well last time.
"Alright, everyone's here." Section Chief Wang clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said, "Those colleagues outside are responsible for perimeter security."
"However, close security is also required. You are all elites among the elites, and you must demonstrate the style of our Silver-Ash City."
Those people outside were either deploying defenses and controlling the situation on the periphery, or squatting between the tall buildings. They didn't even have a chance to get close, let alone be seen by the bigwigs of Blue Star.
But they are different. They obviously need to get close to and even communicate with the bigwigs on Blue Star.
This position should have belonged to Yang Peng, but Yang Peng gave it to him. Li Ming pondered inwardly.
If Qin Xiao followed his plan, even if Yang Peng didn't give it to him, he would have to arrange Li Ming into the personal security team.
This actually saved Qin Xiao a lot of effort.
"The most important person among the Blue Star escorts is this one - Professor Wu." A photo was reflected on the screen behind him. He had a hooked nose, deep grooves on both sides of his nose, and his eyes were indifferent, as if without any emotion.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a scientific researcher, but rather quite ruthless.
"Due to special circumstances, Professor Wu's physical fitness is only comparable to that of an ordinary person, but he has a wide network of contacts. He is one of the few people on our Blue Planet who can have a say in the interstellar world."
Section Chief Wang shrugged. "If this guy loses even a hair on Silver Ash Star, not only you but even the Minister will be in big trouble."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Of course, he has his own personal bodyguards, so we don't have to worry about him. As for the rest, he..."
Section Chief Wang introduced them one by one. There were many people accompanying Lan Xing, including Professor Wu, several media reporters and officials at all levels.
There are only five core members of the interstellar review team, and the rest are ordinary workers accompanying them.
"Okay, everyone, go get ready and gather at six o'clock sharp." Section Chief Wang arranged everything and everyone dispersed.
“Li Ming…” Wang Zhiheng walked over with his hair combed back, looking quite unruly.
"Captain Wang..." Li Ming greeted.
"Old Yang and I have a good relationship. He taught me before, so he's kind of my mentor," Wang Zhiheng sighed. "This opportunity is rare. He's almost forty, and at best, he's just a section chief. If he's valued, maybe he can climb up the ladder."
"Since he's given you the opportunity, I'll teach you a couple of tricks for the sake of our friendship." Wang Zhiheng said solemnly, "Do you know how to quickly gain the attention of those bigwigs?"
"Captain Wang, please give me some advice." Li Ming hesitated a little. This man was well-known for his unconventionality within the city guards.
"It's actually very simple. You've seen the information just now. There's a woman named Fan Xiaosu. She's only 38, but she's already the Secretary-General of the Blue Star Interstellar Exchange Affairs Department. She still has some charm..."
At first, Wang Zhiheng was very solemn and Li Ming listened attentively, but later his expression gradually became obscene and Li Ming was speechless.
"More importantly, she's still single. You're young and handsome, and your looks are just as good as mine. You know what I mean, right? This is a path that could save you 20 years of struggle."
He winked, and then his face suddenly twisted, and he let out a loud cry. Zuo Ling appeared from behind him, retracted the dagger, and said expressionlessly: "Don't listen to him."
"Idiot..." Zhao Xiong sneered as he passed by. Wang Zhiheng gritted his teeth in pain and didn't bother to care.
"Left Captain..." Li Ming also greeted. The heroic woman wiped the blood from her dagger and said seriously, "I think Professor Wu is the key. He is a professor at Capital University of Technology and has great prestige."
"Although you didn't take the Star Exam, if you caught his eye, you'd still have a promising future. You might even have a better future than those who did. You're so young, it would be a shame to waste your time on Silver-Gray Star."
"Thank you, Captain Zuo." Li Ming nodded. Wang Zhiheng grinned and said, "Zuo Ling, you're harming him, aren't you? Don't get your hopes up. Professor Wu is a man with a vision wider than the stars. This is too difficult."
Zuo Ling hesitated a bit and added, "I just mentioned it casually, don't hold out any hope."
If there is a gap between ideals and reality, it will make people mentally unstable. Li Ming is too young and may never recover from this.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on," Li Ming said calmly. "But, Captain Zuo just said that if Professor Wu values you, it's even better than just getting in through the exam." What did he mean?
"Won't admission through special channels be recognized by Capital University of Technology?"
Zuo Ling and Wang Zhiheng looked at each other with a subtle look in their eyes.
"You know quite a lot, even about special admission channels," Wang Zhiheng explained. "Capital University of Technology is a key interstellar support project, and it's also the university with the most resources allocated to it on Blue Star."
"It's not that there are no privileges there, but they have been reduced to a minimum. Students can get in through special channels, but their names won't be on the admission list or the graduation list."
"Only a polytechnic university certificate proves you studied there. While it holds some value, it's far inferior to a full-time student."
Li Ming was thoughtful. The lame man had also told him that his name would not be on the admission list.
Wang Zhiheng casually said, "At the same time, these students receive the lowest proportion of resources. Most of them go there to make connections or gild their reputations."
"There are also a few ordinary people who fail the exam and empty their family savings for a chance to change their fate."
Zuo Ling added: "Only those who pass the entrance exam normally are considered students of Capital University of Technology and enjoy normal resources, training, and various benefits."
"However, after graduation, most of these students can only stay in the interior of Blue Star and find it difficult to leave civilization."
"Only the best and most outstanding individuals can receive the best training. Six galaxies, hundreds of millions of peers, and only ten thousand people have to be selected. And at the same time, they have to stand out from all of them." Zuo Ling sighed, "Individual talent and family background are both indispensable."
The two talked for a while, and seeing that Li Ming was silent, Wang Zhiheng couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think too much. Think about the bright path that your brother pointed out to you."
Li Ming glanced at him and asked, "Captain Wang, why doesn't he charge forward himself?"
"Me?" Wang Zhiheng sighed. "I wanted to come too, but if my son's last name wasn't Wang, my father would have skinned me alive."
"Your father is gone anyway, it doesn't matter."
Li Ming fell silent.
………
Because of the arrival of these heavyweights, not only the city guards, but the entire Silver Ash City became busy, and the streets began to be cleaned at two o'clock in the morning.
All departments stayed up all night to coordinate.
Even Star Creation Company sent people, with a grand ceremony, more than a dozen hovercrafts, and bodyguards who were all burly and not just for show.
"Tsk, Chen Songnan, the boss of the Xingchuang branch. Don't be fooled by his smiling face, he's an old fox." Wang Zhiheng and Li Ming, wearing city guard uniforms, stood aside, tall and strong.
Chen Songnan was talking to Qin Xiao and others, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
It was approaching 10 o'clock and everyone was in their seats. Qin Xiao and others looked restrained, but not calm.
Rumble!
The wind speed gradually increased, the weeds on the ground lay low, a shadow gradually appeared on the ground, and then the shadow expanded, and the wind pressure became more intense.
A large spaceship appeared in front of everyone, hundreds of meters long, like a huge metal meteorite.
The surface was made of some high-grade alloy and flickered with a faint blue light. They could only see the fluorescence at the bottom of the spacecraft and the gradually extinguishing propulsion engines.
Boom!
The spacecraft landed completely, and the hatch gradually opened with a buzzing sound.
Standing in front of the door was a slender figure with red skin, an extremely long neck, some kind of metal ring, and narrow eyes like slits.
