Chapter 160 Dinner Exchange
Yuan Shichen entered the official residence with Prince Ahmed and Princess Martha. The luxurious palace styles are all about the magnificent architectural styles, gold, marble, and precious oil paintings. Each of them is about luxury and dignity.
The top of the hall presents a huge dome with a very Islamic style. The dome has a diameter of 20 meters and a gold-plated surface, emitting gorgeousness, solemnity, luxury everywhere, and exudes the dignity of the royal family everywhere.
However, looking at the grand scene in front of him, Haraki Chen had a wonderful thought of the Arab Palace depicted in the illustration "One Thousand and One Nights" I watched when I was a child.
After passing through the hall, everyone soon arrived at a restaurant with a smaller area than the hall.
The restaurant is expected to accommodate at least 200 people to dine at the same time and is equipped with a dedicated kitchen, pantry and refrigerator.
There are about 20 uniformly dressed waiters who are scattered early around a long dining table in the middle of the restaurant and are on standby at any time.
"Please sit."
Prince Ahmed first greeted Harashi Shichen to sit down.
"Thank you." Yuan Shichen bowed and sat on the left front of the long dining table.
Afterwards, Prince Ahmed and Princess Martha also settled one after another.
“Welcome again, hope you enjoyed the dishes tonight.”
"Thank you very much for your hospitality."
Because Islamic culture is banned from drinking, the entire dinner table saves a lot of back and forth, and the wine and drinking are much more elegant and pure.
"I finally have the opportunity to thank you very much." Princess Martha said with a smile as she looked at Yuan Shichen.
"What's the cookies I gave you in the jungle?" Yuan Shichen smiled and waved his hand, "Then I'm really making a fortune. A few compressed cookies have been exchanged for such a rich meal."
"This is different. If you don't have any supplies, and give Martha warm help, how can you compare to these icing foods on the cake today?" Prince Ahmed added immediately.
"Some small things in the past are really not worth mentioning." Yuan Shichen continued to wave his hand and said.
"By the way, I saw news of you going to Mars in major media around the world last year. Was this trip going smoothly?"
Prince Ahmed wiping his hands with a napkin, while asking Yuan Shichen with great interest.
"It was generally smooth. Although some troubles arise, all the tasks were successfully completed."
"I heard that you have made a major discovery on Mars, about alien civilizations!" Princess Martha asked playfully.
"Well, I did find some clues about alien civilizations."
The Mars scientific exploration team received a notice from the high-level base when they returned to Earth. Before finally fully grasping the relevant information, they were not allowed to leak specific details of the super alien civilization to the outside world.
However, Nao Chen knew the special identities of the two people on the other side, and they both had intersections with the Interstellar Exploration Alliance and signed a confidentiality agreement. Therefore, as long as it is not a key detail, Nao Chen can still communicate with them about the general situation.
"What kind of discoveries have you found?" Princess Martha continued to ask with interest.
"We discovered a special aircraft of alien civilization, but due to limited technical power, we are unable to interpret the science and technology of these super aliens for the time being." Yuan Shichen cleverly avoided the important and tried his best not to violate the requirements of the base, and did not to shame Princess Martha.
"That's a pity." Martha sighed softly.
"Your operations in the Persian Gulf this time are also related to alien civilizations." Prince Ahmed suddenly asked with a serious look on his face.
"It is indeed related to alien civilization." Harashi Naichen said bluntly, "The alliance should have communicated with your Dubai government's top leaders."
"Well, we know that there is also a special aircraft of alien civilization buried here, but there is no details." Ahmed nodded and continued, "After all, I want to know more about the details in the Persian Gulf because of such a big disturbance."
"Sorry, Ahmed, I think the league does this because it feels that if the whole incident is fully announced now, the time is not ripe enough. I hope you can understand me."
Yuan Shichen refused politely.
"It's okay, I invite you here today. In addition to expressing my gratitude, I just want to communicate and share some information with you." Ahmed didn't seem to mind. Perhaps he had already thought that Haraki Chan would politely decline him.
"Oh. Sharing the information?" Yuan Shichen said without comment.
"Maybe you don't know that the information between the core member states of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance and the ordinary member states is not equal." Ahmed changed his tone and raised a question that Yuan Shichen had never contacted or thought about before.
"Information is not equal? I only know that the program of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance is to remain independent, impartial, and responsible to all mankind."
Yuan Shichen is a scientist, while Prince Ahmed is the king of a country. Their perspectives and focusses are naturally different in their considerations.
Perhaps the top leaders of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance will indeed be influenced by the world's major political forces, but as for the grassroots organizations of the alliance, they have indeed been playing the role of a lone hero who contributes to all mankind.
"Actually, I have some guesses." Prince Ahmed paused for a while and continued.
"Since the alien civilization has arrived at Mars or even the Earth in ancient times, the existence of this alien civilization must have had a significant impact on our life on Earth."
Ahmed is indeed very smart. He has already guessed the general answer with the broken clues in his hands.
"I believe you must have thought about the original intention of the establishment of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance. What events or forces can prompt different political groups that were originally quarrel to give up prejudices and work together. You must know that the current level of social civilization is far from the ability to eliminate the profound concepts of nation and state in human hearts."
With Yuan Naichen's current status in the alliance, it is naturally impossible to know who are the eight core members of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance and the background story when the alliance was first established.
Later-joiners like Dubai definitely hope to get more information in the league and gain more voice.
This is like other countries always want to one day challenge the authority of the five permanent members of the United Nations.
Because politics always seeks profit, perhaps the existence of the interstellar exploration alliance is a kind of regulation and a kind of balance.
Chapter completed!
