After leaving Dean Watt's office, Frank, the scientific research team leader of the Astrophysics Special Project Team, was walking like an enclave towards the special project team.

Yuan Shichen couldn't help but speed up and followed closely behind.

Along the way, Frank didn't say a word, and didn't even reply.

"Before you figured out the situation, you joined the special project team for no reason." Yuan Shichen was thinking about what Justin said before going out. "As both the scientific research team leader, Frank and Justin's personalities are simply two extremes."

The various major departments and branch institutions of the Interstellar Discovery Alliance Pacific Base are connected by an intricate network of underground passages.

For a newcomer, it is extremely difficult to walk around every corner of the base with ease.

Fortunately, each channel has detailed instructions and electronic map devices. Even if you are unfortunately lost, you can still apply for assistance through the communication tools at each access control level.

Yuan Shichen began to admire the designers of this underground base.

A quarter of an hour later, after crossing a larger level, Harashichen followed Frank to the location of the special project team.

The office and scientific research areas of the entire special project team are generally presented as a huge shuttle with long sides and narrow middle, covering an area of ​​about hundreds of thousands of square meters.

On the left side of the special project team area are independent offices and laboratories of each scientist, and on the right side are public areas, including super laboratories, conference rooms, data rooms, entertainment and leisure areas shared by the project team.

"Come with me." After entering the special project team's territory, Frank finally spit out these three words with mercy.

Yuan Shichen followed Frank's pace while watching around.

Then, the two came to an office on the far left side of the special project team area.

"This office space will belong to you in the future." Frank turned around, looked at Yuan Shichen again and said, "There are also independent supporting laboratories and storage rooms next to you. If you have any questions, ask your assistant secretary later."

"Assistant Secretary?" Yuan Shichen was a little confused.

"Yes, he should be in the office now. Don't you want to go in and meet him?" Frank said with a chuckling.

"Okay, thank you, Team Leader Frank."

"The project team will have a discussion meeting tomorrow morning, remember to attend on time." After saying this, Frank immediately turned around and left.

Looking at Frank who was leaving, Yuan Shichen sighed, and he still felt confused.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at my office first." Yuan Shichen thought to himself, and opened the door to the office.

"Hello, can I do something for you?"

As soon as the door opened, a slightly hoarse voice was heard.

Yuan Nai Chen looked in the sound and saw an old man in his sixties with gray hair. The middle of the old man's head was bare, looking like a small court, surrounded by a circle of white silver hair, a round face, and his whole person looked very kind.

"Hello, I am a new member of the special project team. I will work here from now on." Yuan Shichen said with a smile to the old man.

"My God, you look so young." The old man pushed his reading glasses while carefully looking at Yuan Shichen.

"My name is Yuan Shichen, please take care of me in the future."

"Welcome, sir, you can call me Old Goethe. "Old Goethe quickly stood up from the chair and walked towards Yuan Shichen, saying, "Oh, this name is quite difficult to pronounce."

"I'm from China, maybe you're not used to the pronunciation of Chinese." Yuan Shichen also found it very funny when he listened to the pronunciation of Old Goethe.

"Oh, that's a very mysterious Eastern country." Old Goethe said in surprise.

"Can you tell me about the situation here?"

"That's my honor, Mr. Harashi-chan." Old Goethe said while making an invitation gesture.

"Please see, your office is divided into four areas. The innermost one is your private office, and there is a reception room and a lounge next to it." Old Goethe was enthusiastically introducing the way in front, "I believe you will be interested in this study. John was particularly satisfied before."

"John? Can you tell me who John is?" Yuan Shichen asked in confusion.

"That's of course. John is the last scientist in this office." Old Goethe continued with a smile, "He is a very easy person to get along with. We both come from Germany and he has always taken good care of me."

"Where has Mr. John gone now?" asked Yuan Shichen with interest.

"Oh, Mr. John is a good man. He shouldn't have left everyone so early." When he said this, Old Goethe's expression became a little sad.

"Sorry, Goethe, reminds you of something sad."

"No, please don't mind. It's been more than two years since that accident. I hope John will have a happy life in heaven."

"I'll ask, what kind of accident was it?"

“Mr. John was involved in a space exploration project two years ago, and unfortunately, a spacecraft had an accident in space and everyone gave their lives…”

"I feel very sorry."

"Since John's departure, his office and laboratory have been vacant here." Old Goethe continued after adjusting his mood. "Maybe I'm too old, and no other new scientists chose me as an assistant secretary."

"You are such a good person." At this point, the old Goethe's eyes were almost shining.

"Ah~, no, you are really over-reward." Although Harashi Chen said politely, he couldn't help but complain. It seemed that Old Goethe didn't know that he was just a role arranged by someone. The fact that Old Goethe and his partner were just an accident.

"By the way, as a logistics staff member, can't you apply to return to your hometown after serving for 10 years?" Yuan Shichen asked in confusion.

When Old Goethe heard this question, he sighed and told an old story about him.

"I was born in Germany in the 1980s. At that time, the Berlin Wall had not been pushed down, and the whole Germany was divided into Federal Germany and Democratic Germany. On the eve of the merger of Federal Germany and Democratic Germany, the turbulent society made me lose all my relatives. From then on, I became an orphan. As I grew older, I became more and more impressed with life. It was around the beginning of the 21st century that I accidentally learned about the IEA organization and applied to join the IEA to become a logistics staff member. After my 10-year service period expired, I found that I did not like the outside world, so I applied to stay at the base for a long time. Later I met John..."

"So that's it." Hara Shin nodded and said, "By the way, Goethe, do each member of the science group have an assistant secretary?"

"Yes, every scientist has a full-time assistant secretary. In addition, there are many logistics staff in public positions in the special project team."

"Okay, thank you Goethe, you told me a lot of useful information. Please continue to take me to the laboratory."

"I am willing to serve you, please go here." Goethe reached out and signaled...
