Xu Yuntian carefully put away the energy stone again.

Although this energy stone is only the size of a thumb, its value is immeasurable. It is currently strictly confidential alien items. If it had not undertaken a special mission, it would have been impossible to bring them out.

"In terms of personal relationships, I don't want you to participate in this exploration."

Xu Yuntian stared at Yue Heng and said, "It's too dangerous."

If something happened to Yue Heng in Taiji Star, then he could not imagine how sad his daughter would be.

Even resentful to myself for this.

In fact, in Xu Yuntian's heart, he also regarded Yue Heng as his son-in-law.

"But the country attaches great importance to this ore..."

He continued: "In today's loss of nuclear energy, it can help us get rid of the restrictions on energy channels and are important materials at the strategic level."

Yue Heng nodded: "I understand."

Yue Heng understands more than anyone else the meaning of the energy stone.

"Uncle Xu, I want to participate in this operation and I can also protect my safety."

Exploring the astral realm is naturally very dangerous.

But Yue Heng has unparalleled experience. Even if his strength is now incomparable to his previous life, there is no problem in protecting himself.

"But I have a condition..."

Yue Heng knew very well that Xu Yuntian was here to be a lobbyist today.

After all, he is not a member of the foreign custody bureau system. He can issue a call for remittance, but he cannot force him to risk his life to participate in the Astral Exploration Operation.

Therefore, he played the favor card.

The card of the prospective father-in-law is still very big.

Yue Heng is willing to serve the country, but it is not without conditions.

Xu Yuntian was not surprised: "You said."

Yue Heng said in a deep voice: "I want to be the captain of the expedition team and lead this exploration!"

No matter how strong Yue Heng's ability is, it is limited. There are too many unknown dangers in a star world that has not been explored. He does not want to put himself in a dilemma because of other people's wrong command.

Most importantly, no one in this world is more qualified to be the commander of the Astral Exploration Team than him!

Xu Yuntian was silent for a moment.

He was a little embarrassed.

Xu Yuntian knew that Yue Heng was very strong, and had shined in Saganda Operation and made great contributions many times.

If it weren't for this, the superiors wouldn't have attached so much importance to Yue Heng.

But being the commander of the Exploration Team is another matter. Yue Heng is too young.

The members of this exploration team must be the elite among the superpowers. It is really unrealistic to make them completely obey the command of Yue Heng, a boy under twenty years old.

Once there is a problem with the command, the risk of action will increase exponentially!

After thinking about it, Xu Yuntian said, "I will react to the above."

Yue Heng said: "If the above does not agree, then I will not participate."

This is not a threat, but a reality-based consideration.

As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains. If he cannot become a commander, he does not want to become an unstable member and affect the unity of the entire team.

Xu Yuntian nodded silently.

He picked up the coffee that had turned cold on the table and took a sip, and suddenly asked, "When are you planning to marry Jingjing?"

In fact, Xu Yuntian really doesn't want to ask this question, but Yue Heng and Xu Jingchu have already lived together. How could he turn a blind eye and remain indifferent as an old father?

Yue Heng needs an explanation in terms of emotion and reason!

"Ahem!"

Yue Heng was rarely embarrassed: "Uncle, my plan is to get engaged to Jingjing next year, and then get married after Jingjing completes her studies. What do you think?"

He also talked about this issue with Xu Jingchu.

Both of them are still very young now, and it will not be too late to get married in five or six years.

Xu Jingchu also had the same idea. She also wanted to study for a master's and doctoral degree after graduating from university.

"Um."

Xu Yuntian liked Yue Heng a lot: "You and Jingjing are both adults, and you need to take on some responsibilities that you should shoulder, but you are still too young now, so you should pay attention to some things, don't..."

He said something obscurely, but Yue Heng could understand: "Uncle, don't worry, we know."

"That's it."

Xu Yuntian suddenly stood up and ended the embarrassing conversation between the two: "I want to go back to the capital immediately. I will contact you if there is news."

Yue Heng was surprised: "Don't you meet Jingjing?"

Xu Yuntian hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Work is important, please help me take good care of her."

Xu Yuntian came and went in a hurry, and then he called Yue Heng that night: "The superiors agreed."

Yue Heng was a little surprised: "Is it decided so quickly?"

In fact, there was a fierce debate within the General Administration of Foreign Affairs regarding the conditions proposed by Yue Heng.

This Taiji Star exploration operation was mainly recruited by elite soldiers and generals in the foreign custody bureau system. The youngest ones were more than 20 years old, and most of them were from the army.

Yue Heng is only nineteen years old this year. He has neither joined the army nor is he a member of the system.

Many people think it was whimsical to ask him to command such a team.

Therefore, there are many opponents.

However, Chang Guoyong, the director of the General Administration, finally made the decision and let Yue Heng be the captain and be responsible for this action!

Chang Guoyong’s reason is very simple. Yue Heng is strong enough and has proved his ability.

You can give him a chance.

To be honest, Yue Heng didn't expect that he would get the support of this director.

Although he has the nickname "Taijiang Tiger" in the foreign affairs bureau system, he is also well-known.

As a member outside the system, there is no influence within the system.

Chang Guoyong was undoubtedly extremely courageous to entrusted the commander's important task in such an important action.

Some people will definitely doubt whether the head of the director was kicked by a donkey!

But since the above agreed to his conditions, Yue Heng naturally took the initiative.

Since the 001 star goalkeeper opened two days later, the time was very tight, w; the next morning he was taken to an airport in the suburbs by a military vehicle.

Then fly to Western Xinjiang by a military plane.

The star gate is not always open, and the window period for opening is usually very short, ranging from several hours to half a day.

Its energy storage time is often as long as ten days and half a month, and there are restrictions on the number of people that can be transmitted during the opening period, not as many people as you want to enter.

This greatly increases the difficulty of exploration and land reclamation in the astral world.

Just after noon, the military plane that Yue Heng took landed in an airport deep in the Gobi Desert.

Through the thick glass porthole, he saw a large silver-gray building located next to the airport.

Whether it is this airport or the building next to it, it seems that it has just been completed and is still under construction.

Not only that, air defense positions were set up between the airport and the building community!

Be on high alert.
Chapter completed!
