space broker

Jiang Su invited Anton and the others to the AMS staff cafe.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, apart from them, there were only a few researchers who hadn't had breakfast in the coffee shop.

Jiang Su and An Dong occupied a small round table, Chu Ba and his adjutants shared the same table with other members of the embassy, ​​and E sat alone in a corner far away, with his head drooping sadly.

Anton had in front of him a cup of coffee that didn't smell very good, and a piece of carrot cake that looked fine.

But they didn't come here to eat.Anton knew that Jiang Su didn't ask him to come here for a physical examination, and there must be something else.And this matter is probably related to the official, otherwise he wouldn't need to ask him through the messenger group.

Sure enough, Jiang Su asked directly about his experience in the distorted space, "If you can tell."

"Of course it can be said that this is no secret."

Anton described the mist that wasn't in the recorder, and the people who were wrapped in fog cocoons, and the misty light that person turned into when he touched it.

He asked Jiang Su, "Is this how the light clusters in the Great Rift Valley were formed?"

"Yes." There was a flash of sadness in Jiang Su's eyes, "Me and Jiang Yi's parents were there. They turned into light groups, but I don't know which one is them. So the Great Rift Valley is for us. Dangerous, yet sacred."

Once, the first time Anton and Chen Zaoying took the pipeline express to see the scenery in the Great Rift Valley, they thought it was very dreamy and beautiful. Who would have thought that there was a beautiful tomb there.

Jiang Su asked about Anton's passage through space again, "I heard that everyone's space passage is different."

Anton never talked about this topic with others, because brokers are used to traveling through space, just like you don’t describe your daily commute to get off work when you chat with friends.

On the contrary, the first time the fat man used the passage of the Messenger Corps, he asked the nagging old man at the exit why his passage was full of fruits. The old man said that he should lose weight and told him to eat less meat.

"My channel," Anton thought about how to describe it, "like space, with many things like stars and nebulae, and aurora."

Jiang Su said: "It must be beautiful."

Anton didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, anyway, it just swishes away every time."

"I envy you all." Jiang Su said: "If we can also travel through space, I don't know what my passage will be like."

Anton's eyebrows twitched.

This big brother never talks nonsense.

"You know that the radicals of Mutual Encouragement Society are studying multi-space, right?"

Jiang Su was not surprised by his keenness, he just smiled slightly, "Yes. Besides, I also know the purpose of Fifteen."

A commander is a commander!Ever since he got to know these two commanders, in Anton's view, Jiang Su has always won fifteen and a half strokes, and it has never changed.

At this time, after hearing Jiang Su's words, Chu Ba at the other table's nostrils instantly dilated.

"Try this." Jiang Su pushed the plate containing the carrot cake towards Anton.

Anton tasted the fork subconsciously, then turned his head and took a tissue to spit it out.I picked up the coffee and wanted to rinse my mouth, but the taste of the entrance was no one else.

Stretching his neck and barely swallowing the coffee, Anton complained, "What the hell is this!"

Jiang Su calmly drank his cup of coffee, "AMS has always refused to use B space to import food. What you can eat here is the original food from our side."

Anton felt that they were self-abuse, "Is AMS so poor? Fortunately, I can remedy it a little bit." Then he asked Jiang Su's adjutant to bring a pot of hot water, "I have the best Jasmine Maojian here."

The quality of Chengfengyang's tea is absolutely top-notch.

Soon, two cups of fragrant jasmine Maojian replaced the inferior coffee.

Jiang Su leaned in front of the teacup and sniffed it. The beautiful fragrance of flowers made him feel good, but he didn't drink it.

He said: "AMS does not have funds to buy high-quality ingredients. They do this to wake up to themselves, what the vast majority of citizens in our space eat every day, and what we can provide for the children of the next generation."

This is awkward.

Jiang Su took the plate of carrot cake and ate it, "This kind of pastry is already delicious for children from ordinary families. I remember you should have eaten a worker's meal at Farm 1009, and that can be regarded as the average level of food here."

Anton lit a cigarette, "Okay, don't be devious, let's get to the point."

Jiang Su sighed inaudibly, stared at a small piece of cake that was forked and said: "I am the commander, but first of all I am a citizen of this space. Whether it is Jiang Yi or Fifteen, they are all looking for The road to redemption, I can understand them."

"So you are in favor of studying multispace?" Anton believes that multispace is still a distant unknown, and no one can be sure what is hidden in it. It may be the so-called "Road to Salvation", but it may also be Pandora's box.

Jiang Su suddenly showed a weird smile: "Originally this road was very confusing, but because of you, we saw hope."

"Me?" Anton was startled, "None of my business!"

Jiang Su smiled even stronger, "You brought back very important data from the distorted space, and this is not as simple as the picture and audio that you disassembled. The most important data in the recorder is the magnetic field, the messenger group The science team . . . ignored."

Anton put on a wooden face, "Is it neglected or our technology is not up to it?"

Jiang Su said: "I'm saving face for you, why are you still pissing off your own people? You see, Chu Ba's face is dark."

Anton looked back, Chu Ba's face was dark, and his eyes were glaring.But it doesn't matter, what makes Anton even more surprised is Jiang Su, "Why are you so lively?"

Jiang Su has indeed become more energetic, he was somewhat lifeless before.

And this is entirely because he saw a better hope.

It was only later that Anton thought about the taste, and Jiang Su made an appointment for them to AMS, and asked about the space passage in a circumstantial manner, with an envious look on his face, and deliberately let him eat the original food here, all in order to arouse his curiosity. Sympathy, let him feel that they pity Bala!

In fact, this old boy simply wants to promote the cooperation between the two parties to jointly study distortion space and multi-space.

"I need you." Jiang Su looked at Anton sincerely and said: "The cooperation between our two spaces has not been smooth all the time, and we can't be honest because of our different goals. Although the space restrictions that Fifteen wants It can protect you from being burdened by our collapse, but the consequences will eventually be the same as ours, becoming a cage that confines the space. On our side, the plan of outer space immigration also has insurmountable difficulties. So I hope this time, both of us can Let’s clear up our suspicions and work together.”

Anton is not too concerned about whether the two spaces can work together, whether the ambassador group and the messenger group can clear up their previous suspicions, and he cares more about: "Why me?"

Jiang Su said calmly: "Because you are very important."

Anton: "You take off this 'calm shell', don't be devious, tell the truth, I'll think about it."

Jiang Su blinked, "I don't have a calm shell, my face is like this."

Anton: "Then explain why I am the key."

Jiang Su blinked again, but this time his eyes were a little skinny, "Didn't you already guess it?"

Anton pulled a long face.

Yes, he guessed it, but he couldn't accept it.

"Are you going to use me as an experiment again? The record holder for staying in the distorted space, wow~~ I should be very honored~ But I went in a total of three times. Disappeared for a year, I went in so many times, maybe if I come out again, you are all dead!"

Jiang Su put on a smiling face, "That's because the technology on your side is not good enough. The AMS Space Research Institute can ensure that you return before the opening of the distorted space channel every time, and you won't lose a second."

Anton: "You should keep a calm face, you look like a profiteer with such a smile."

Jiang Su stopped laughing, "So, are you willing to be the key person? For our mutual space."

"No."

In the present world, the meeting room of the Messenger Mission Building.Facing Chu Ba, who came back to report, and all the messengers attending the meeting, Fifteen said calmly, "I don't agree to let Anton be their guinea pig."

Chuba reminded: "But Jiang Su already knows that our purpose is space restriction."

Fifteen said indifferently: "I just disagree with Anton's going, and I didn't say that I disagree with us providing experimenters."

Chu Ba stared, "So we are going to cooperate with them?"

Fifteen: "Yes, but the candidates to participate in the experiment must be selected from the messenger group."

It has technology in space, but it needs people who have the ability to enter the distorted space.There is no technology in the current world, but there are people who need it.Anton is indeed strong, but the messengers are not weak either.

The messengers at the meeting all showed thoughtful expressions.

Anton was also in the meeting room at this time, not attending, and was sitting on a sofa in the corner, smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed.

Fifteen, this guy must be thinking about other people's advanced technology.Who made their scientific team fail to analyze the magnetic field data in the recorder?This guy is narrow-minded and totally childish at times - I have to have what everyone else has.

But as a commander, his behavior of pulling everything towards the house like a hamster is quite good.

According to Cheng Fengyang, since he took office on the [-]th, the messenger group has made a qualitative leap in terms of funds, equipment and technology.

Thinking about it carefully, Shiwu has always been catching someone and plotting against him. Although he is always half-way up against Jiang Su, he is shameless.

Just like this time after the end of the Cold War, just to resume the three-month trial operation of the trade, the fifteenth will raise the price of all materials by 5% - 40%, and the commonality of space and the exchange rate of the current world currency will also be changed. wave.

So whichever side this player is on, he will follow the bonus, and the opponent can't wait to kill him.

After the meeting adjourned, Fifteen left Anton alone, and immediately asked straightforwardly, "Can Cheng Fengyang recruit?"

A wave of shit floated over Anton's head, "I want to recruit myself."

Are these two commanders addicted to him?Find him for everything.

"I can't move him." Shiwu hooked his hands at Anton.

"what?"

"Give me a cigarette."

Anton: "Are you still short of cigarettes?"

Fifteen: "My mother recently forced me to quit smoking."

Anton: "You deserve it, buy it yourself."

Fifteen: "The salary card was confiscated."

Anton laughed wildly, "Didn't you build a small treasury in the regiment?"

Fifteen raised his eyes: "I'll just ask you to give me a cigarette, you're talking so much nonsense!"

Anton was very pleasantly surprised, "Finally you don't pretend to be a cross? It's pretty easy to swear at people, didn't you suffocate before?"

Fifteen directly went to grab it, but it was a pity that he was not Anton's opponent. In the end, Anton, who was also a smoker, deliberately released water and let him snatch half a box of Dasu.

Seeing Fifteen, who was addicted to smoking like a treasure, Anton suddenly wanted to laugh.

The two commanders are also synchronized enough.Jiang Su played rough with him today, Shiwu didn't pretend to be deep anymore.

Fifteen smoked two cigarettes vigorously, and finally felt comfortable.Reaching out to unbutton his uniform, he leaned back on the sofa, "Anton, do you know? What happened today will be recorded in history."

Anton said, "Oh."

Fifteen tilted his head and looked at him, "Why are you always like this?"

"How?"

"Don't care about anything."

Anton disagreed, "Who said that? I care about too many things. It's just that today's matter, including the future cooperation between the two spaces, has nothing to do with me. You and Jiang Su are commanders. It's your business to worry about."

It was rare for Fifteen to relax like this, casually propping his head up, as if chatting with people in the dormitory in college at night, "Then what do you care about?"

Anton snapped his fingers and counted for him, "For example, what's for dinner, did the fat man steal my snacks, it's time to go to the supermarket to stock up tomorrow, and next time I lead a team to deliver goods in its space, I can spare some extra money, etc. of."

Fifteen said, "You are a very practical person."

Anton: "A lot of people are waiting for me to raise them. Isn't it practical? You carry your family and country on your shoulders, but I only have my family on my shoulders."

Thinking of this Anton makes me angry.A good group of brothers actually drove the duck to the shelves and let him be the "No. 1". The little prince also said that with great ability comes great responsibility.cut!Thought he was Spider-Man?

Fifteen felt a little resentful, "We are family."

Anton sneered: "That's right, so you used passers-by as your errands during the year I was away, and I didn't settle accounts with you. And that girl, I didn't expose her."

Fifteen made a serious face, "I didn't use the customers in vain, I paid them every time!"

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

Fifteen is thinking about something.Now he is not as neat as usual, his uniform is half open, his hair is a bit messy, he is lying on the sofa with his head propped up, his eyes don't know where to go.

Anton didn't bother him, just sat beside him and smoked quietly.

"Will you help me convince Cheng Fengyang?" Fifteen asked suddenly.

Anton: "Why do you insist on recruiting him?"

"Because I hope that the research on multi-space will go well and nothing will go wrong." Shiwu sat up and lit a cigarette, "This may be the best chance to solve all the problems of the two spaces. I don't allow it to become the force behind Fengyang Then there are other schemes out of it to sabotage this cooperation."

Anton thought for a while, "But you are no match for that force, right?"

Fifteen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes. I am not afraid of Jiang Su, nor any hostile forces in its space, but a fire in the backyard. Because there are always people who are greedy and will do anything to satisfy their own desires. So I need Cheng Fengyang As a middleman, you can know the other party's dynamics at any time."

Anton knows that there are too many technologies in its space that this side craves.Just like E once said, after the two space links, the embassy group clearly warned the real world not to study GE, but some scientists here still secretly step on the restricted area.

Fortunately, they still have messengers.

Anton suddenly discovered that the Messenger Corps may guard not only the space, but also the bottom line of morality and ethics.

"I can talk to Cheng Fengyang, but whether he is willing to be an undercover agent for the messenger group depends on himself."

Fifteen said sourly: "Aren't you very close to him, and you're not even sure how to persuade him?"

Anton: "Why do I smell vinegar? And you're very low in aggressive tactics."

Fifteen: "Go away!"

Anton went away.

Fifteen called him back again, "Get out, leave the smoke behind."
