I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1551 - The Second Contact

Chapter 1551: The Second Contact

Extraterrestrial civilization.

Countries around the world were no longer as shocked as they were when they first heard the term. Whether it was the T virus crisis that ravaged the world, or the mother nest in Finland, the two close contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations ended on unfriendly terms, but this time, countries were more hopeful.

There was no other reason.

A starship was trapped under Europa’s ice sheet, waiting for rescue.

Regardless of how the starship got trapped, the fact that the hull, larger than the Envoy-class, was enough of a reason. And most importantly, it was rumored that a thousand “alien refugees” resided on this starship.

Located outside the Earth Defense Alliance Building in Coro City, journalists and reporters from all over the world set up cameras and microphones. Followed by the arrivals of black limos one after another, the representatives entered the venue and took seats. Just like the previous two meetings, this meeting was also a closed-door meeting.

As the last wave of delegations entered the venue, the door closed.

Before the meeting officially started, whispers were already incessant. The rumor was that the target of rescue, a race named Golovin, was also invited to the meeting. Also, the Golovin representative would attend the meeting as a holographic image, the news was still enough to shock the rest of the world.

Why is Celestial Trade so generous and open?

This question was no longer important.

The important matter was how to gain more benefits for their own country in this negotiation with an extraterrestrial civilization. Although the people here belonged to the same camp, shared the same ultimate goal of “resisting the invasion of Harmony”, no one here could be completely open and honest to the people sitting next to them.

Every delegation represented a country.

And between countries, the term friendship did not exist.

The meeting began, and the verbal probe and test between each other finally stopped. The representatives sat in their seats and looked at the center of the semicircular venue. The light blue light particles rose from the floor, and the people here who were already familiar with Future Group’s holographic technology did not show much surprise.

Until Golovin appeared in front of them.

“Human…human being?”

“No, maybe it’s just a human form or an alien creature that looks like a human.”

“Can he understand Mandarin?”

“…”

“Silence.”

The venue became quiet.

Jiang Chen scanned around the venue, cleared his throat, adjusted the microphone, and continued to speak, “As for the topics of this meeting, I believe you have already learned about them. I think everyone in the room is very concerned and curious about the Svetovid, as well as our extraterrestrial friends.”

“In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I think it is necessary for us to have a preliminary understanding of our friends. Therefore, before the discussion officially starts, we have prepared a Q&A period for this meeting. And this is what Golovin also wants. He hopes to start a dialogue with us and become friends.”

“My database contains about 500 commonly used languages on Earth. You can speak freely,” Golovin said in an expressionless state. “Because we already know you to a certain extent, I hope you can ask questions instead of my unilateral introduction.”

The representatives stared at each other in shock.

It was the German who stood up and asked questions first, and the questions asked were basically what Jiang Chen expected. After all, he was puzzled by the same question for a long time.

“What should we call you? Is Golovin your name? Or does it represent your ethnic group?”

“You can call me Golovin the First,” Golovin said.

This name was Jiang Chen’s suggestion. Since Golovin Mental System did not exist on Earth, something obvious to Golovin could be incomprehensive from the eyes of the people on Earth.

When people heard the question, their first reaction was that these aliens were probably a feudal or empirical system, but these were not important. Regardless of what political system or systems they adopted, the people on Earth were only interested in their technology, not their “human rights status.”

The German representative nodded, then sat down.

Then, the Russian representative, Mr. Lavrov, who had only met Jiang Chen two weeks ago, stood up impatiently.

“Why is the name of the Baikonur Cosmodrome written on your starship? Please excuse for my directness, we are just wondering why you use Russian texts?

When this question was asked, the venue, which still had some chatters and whispers, turned completely silent. Everyone held their breath and either stared at Lavrov directly or subtly glanced in his direction.

Golovin’s holographic image looked at Lavrov and still in the tone that did not fluctuate, slowly spoke.

“Because our past has something to do with the name Soviet.”

The representatives present took a deep breath, and the way they looked at Lavrov gradually carried a hint of shock. What kind of story could make a group of aliens write the name of the Baikonur launch base on their starship?

Lavrov was a little excited by the countless stares focused on him. He tried his best to make sure he did not look too proud, and politely extended an invitation to Golovin.

“Although I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with us, we are as hospitable as before. If you don’t mind, we are willing to provide you with a place to rest in Eastern Siberia.”

This guy asked first!

The faces of the representatives changed unanimously.

The refugeeing aliens!

It was not a group of poor refugees from the Middle East and North Africa, but a group of aliens with advanced technology countless years ahead of this world! All the countries were willing to provide a space for asylum for free.

Before the meeting started, they had been thinking about this aspect, but they did not expect the Russians to extend an invitation first.

Many people turned their attention to the representative from Xin. They hoped to see the slightest dissatisfaction on the representative’s face.

After all, it would be Celestial Trade doing the bulk of the work to rescue this starship. But now, before the work even started, it was taken advantage of by their “old friend” through this weird connection. Even if Xin’s relationship with Russia was in a good phase, there was going to be a feud after this.

However, what disappointed the representatives was that they did not see any displeased expression on the Xin representative’s face nor Jiang Chen’s. Many people couldn’t help but wonder to themselves when these stingy people become so selfless?

They were not like this before.

Lavrov waited quietly for Golovin’s reply.

Regardless of the response from Golovin, he represented Russia and gained the friendship of Golovin.

However, Golovin’s answer stunned Lavrov and everyone. Everyone except Jiang Chen

Gradually, a look of awkwardness appeared on his face and it even changed to a look of embarrassment…
