Chapter 2157 Incredible!

Seeing that Su Ziwu and the others had confirmed that they were ready, Leon shook his head helplessly, then raised his right hand and focused his attention on a metal bracelet on his right hand. He skillfully tapped the bracelet several times in a row, as if entering some kind of password or command.

The moment Leon clicked the bracelet, it suddenly emitted a faint white light. Although the light was weak, it was very eye-catching. At the same time, a subtle vibration came from the sea surface beneath everyone's feet, as if some huge object was slowly rising from the seabed.

As the vibrations grew stronger, the previously calm sea surface began to ripple, and these ripples quickly spread out, forming circles of ripples. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the sea, their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.

As the tremors grew more intense, the continuous roar became clearer and clearer to everyone's ears. The sound was deep and powerful, like the sound of some huge machine, and it made people think of a huge ship cutting through the waves.

"Wow!"

Just as everyone's anticipation reached its peak, a resounding explosion erupted. The bow of a massive space shuttle suddenly emerged from the ocean, creating a trail of white water. Although only a small starship, its hundred-meter-long hull still created a stunning visual impact.

Tong Chengcheng's eyes lit up, especially with its exterior, which was completely different from the Blue Star's architectural style. He stared wide-eyed, greedily admiring every detail of the starship, as if it were a toy he'd always dreamed of. For a science and engineering man like Tong Chengcheng, a starship capable of freely traversing the universe was undoubtedly the most alluring thing.

The starship is shaped like a shuttle, its smooth lines making it resemble a nimble fish in space. Two massive propulsion engines at its tail, like wings, provide it with powerful power. When the starship fully emerges from the water, the hatch on top slowly opens, like a sleeping giant opening its eyes.

Leon stood in front of the hatch, smiling and gently waving his hand. A magical scene occurred. As if gravity had vanished, everyone's bodies slowly floated upward, as if drawn by an invisible force, toward the hatch. The process was remarkably smooth, without the slightest jolt or shake.

"Welcome home, Mr. Leon."

As soon as I entered the cabin, a gentle female mechanical voice came from the speaker hidden in the cabin wall, as if a kind maid was welcoming the master home.

Leon responded with a slight smile on his face.

"Set the route back to the main ship and depart in three minutes."

"Okay, now let's start setting the route."

The mechanical voice answered crisply.

Clearly, Leon's shuttle possessed a high level of intelligence, requiring no manual control from Leon. Its intelligent systems were capable of handling a wide range of daily tasks, from route planning and flight operations to other complex tasks.

It wasn't long before the starship completed all its preparations for takeoff. With a fierce roar from its engines, a powerful thrust erupted like a volcanic eruption. Like an arrow from a bow, the starship soared into the air, piercing the atmosphere at an astonishing speed. Finally, like a bird, it gracefully departed from the blue planet and disappeared into the vast universe.

At this moment, in the Xiaonanhai Conference Room in Beijing, an important meeting was underway. In the front row sat key figures such as Liu Xinghua, Liu Qingqing, Su Yan, Ye Long, Cheng Lie, Li Song, and Song Rouhan. They were all silent, their expressions serious.

In the back row sat Liu Wan'er, Song Hui, and other high-ranking Chinese officials. They also sat quietly, intently watching the large screen in front of them. In the last row of the conference room, one could even see Carlo, sitting quietly, observing the progress of the meeting.

Opposite Carlo, there was a burly man with a look of impatience, with his legs crossed and his ankles shaking from time to time. It was obvious that his patience was almost exhausted.

This conference was a global multinational meeting, and its importance was self-evident. The scene on the large screen was being played in real time to the heads of state. The screen showed the spectacular sight of a massive starship slowly taking off over the high seas.

"Comrades!"

Liu Xinghua's voice echoed in the conference room, and his eyes swept over everyone with a serious and solemn expression.

"Our Chinese expatriates have taken off. They will embark on an unprecedented journey to a wider universe."

He paused, letting the news sink in for a moment, then continued.

"In fact, their destination is the place where humans left thousands of years ago. It is a place full of unknowns and challenges, but also a place full of hope and opportunities."

Liu Xinghua took a deep breath and continued.

"Their departure is more than just a simple assignment; it signifies the arrival of a new era. From this moment on, Blue Planet will no longer be peaceful, and all manner of crises are likely to ensue."

His voice grew more passionate.

"Therefore, we must integrate all our resources, unite, and jointly fight against various crises that may come in the future!"

The conference room was completely silent, with only Liu Xinghua's voice echoing. His words struck everyone's heart like a hammer, making them realize the seriousness of the situation.

Finally, Liu Xinghua made a decision.

"I've decided to start the interstellar project! Within the next ten years, we must have the ability to independently leave the Blue Planet, and even leave the Milky Way!"

He brought the microphone on the table in front of him to his lips and spoke righteously. This decision brought enormous challenges and pressure, but Liu Xinghua firmly believed that only in this way could China gain a foothold in the universe and cope with unknown crises.

However, no one could predict the impact of the expatriate's departure. While Su Ziwu and the others' departure certainly represented an opportunity, combined with what Su Yan had said last night, Liu Xinghua knew this presented both opportunity and danger. What secrets Blue Star held, no one knew.

.........

His gaze slowly withdrew from the distance, finally landing on the tea room. Ye Ye listened quietly to Su Ziwu's description, and his mind gradually outlined the entire process of their arrival at Qixingxing.

Sure enough, the instigator of all this was Leon!

Ye Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This guy was truly unpredictable. However, what intrigued Ye Ye even more was what kind of contract Su Ziwu had struck with Blue Star Will? How had Blue Star Will persuaded Leon to bring Su Ziwu and the others to meet him at Morning Star? And, how much did Leon actually know?

Ye Ye's eyes wandered over Su Ziwu, trying to find some clues from her expression and words, but Su Ziwu seemed to be reserved about these questions and did not reveal too much. Ye Ye's curiosity was completely aroused, but he did not continue to ask.

His gaze shifted to Lu Yue beside him, and the seemingly safe and enclosed environment around them. However, Ye Ye knew that while this place appeared calm on the surface, it had likely already attracted the attention of the school. In this situation, asking too many questions could cause unnecessary trouble for himself and others.

Ye Ye sighed helplessly and spoke.

"Actually, you shouldn't have come... Calculating the time, I'll be back in a month or so."

There was no complaint in his tone, but he felt a little speechless that his original plan was forced to abort before it was implemented.

"Go back? What for? It's so lively here!"

Tong Chengcheng rolled her eyes nonchalantly and continued.

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff Liu is at home. He will definitely be able to handle everything in an orderly manner. If you go back, that would be the real trouble!"

When Ye Ye heard this, he immediately felt a little dissatisfied. He widened his eyes and retorted.

"Why would it be troublesome for me to go back?"

However, before Ye Ye could finish his words, Zhao Ling beside him quickly took over the conversation and spoke softly.

"You, don't you realize that every time there's trouble, you're the one who's causing it? If you don't go back, Blue Star won't receive as much attention. Don't forget, that blood debt of Olmid's is all on your head..."

Zhao Ling paused, as if observing Ye Ye's reaction, and then continued.

"Also, although we don't know what you did that day, but to make Leon go there in person to rescue someone, the identity of the person being rescued must be extraordinary."

Having said that, Zhao Ling glanced at Ye Ye, only to see that his expression looked a little unhappy, so he quickly added.

"Su Ziwu hadn't finished talking just now. After being rescued by Leon, that person seemed to have returned to Blue Star. However, judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He just wanted to stay in Xiaonanhai and refused to leave. If you go back now, you might really cause some trouble."

Ye Ye was stunned when he heard Zhao Ling's words.

What the hell?????

If he heard correctly, Zhao Ling just said that Argerich was in Blue Star???

"Why are you looking at me? This is what Leon said. Didn't he tell you?"

Zhao Ling felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ye Ye. He felt as if he had done something wrong. However, when he finished speaking, Ye Ye was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Ye began to wonder what Leon meant by "surprise." Was it the arrival of Su Ziwu and the others? Or was it that Argerich had actually stayed on Blue Star? The more Ye Ye thought about it, the more his headache grew. He simply couldn't determine what Leon meant.

However, since Leon dared to do this, it meant that there shouldn't be any big problems. Ye Ye thought to himself, after all, Leon wasn't the kind of person who would act rashly. Moreover, if Argerich really stayed on Blue Star, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Blue Star.

After all, Argerich was a superstar! With such a powerful figure in charge of Blue Star, regardless of his motives, he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch Blue Star suffer any harm until his goal was achieved. This was like a powerful insurance policy for Blue Star, giving people peace of mind.

"So you've been staying at the academy since you came to Morning Star?"

Suddenly, Ye Ye asked curiously, because everyone seemed to have just rushed over from the training area, which made Ye Ye a little confused.

"After arriving at Morning Star, Leon seems to have entrusted us to one of your 'female friends'. She placed us on the academy's freshman list, claiming that you might encounter some difficulties and that we need to learn some starship piloting skills."

After hearing Ye Ye's words, Lan Yunsheng spoke, emphasizing the word "female" in "female friend".

Ye Ye was dumbfounded.

Female friends?

“Who is it???”

Seeing Ye Ye stunned, Su Ziwu couldn't help but ask.

"How many female friends do you have on Blue Star?"

Seeing a hint of anger on Su Ziwu's face, Ye Ye opened his mouth and closed it again.

The person who can arrange their admission to school at will must be in a high position of power. The key point is that whether it is Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi, or Tian Qi, they all have such power. When they hear it suddenly, Ye Ye really doesn't know who it is.

But since the other party can hand over to Leon, Tian Qi should be ruled out, then it should be one of Li Lingzhi or Cui Yingying.

"The other person's surname is Cui."

Seeing that Ye Ye was still a little dazed, Fu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and held his forehead and said silently.

"Cui Yingying..."

With the reminder, Ye Ye finally understood. Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was getting weirder and weirder, Lu Yue swallowed his saliva. He was a little unsure whether he should stay here any longer.

"Let's put that aside for now. My friendship with them dates back to the two times I suddenly disappeared for several months on Blue Star."

"Your arrival has solved my urgent problem. In that case, I don't need to rush back to Blue Star. I'll get the rewards for the freshman assessment first, and then find a way to send them back home. Besides, there have been some undercurrents in the Venus Star and even the universe recently, and we can get first-hand information here."

"It's what Su Ziwu just mentioned..."

Having said that, Ye Ye suddenly hesitated.

According to Su Yan, Su Ziwu's parents are not dead, but may have come to Qimingxing...

Looking at Su Ziwu's pretty face, Wu Yuan's figure suddenly flashed through Ye Ye's mind like lightning across the night sky.

At that time, Ye Ye's impression of Wu Yuan was not very deep. He just felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere. However, at this moment, when he compared Su Ziwu and Wu Yuan's faces in his mind, he suddenly realized that there was a subtle similarity between the two people.

This resemblance wasn't simply a matter of appearance, but rather a connection in temperament. Su Ziwu's every smile, gesture, and expression revealed a unique charm, and this charm was strikingly similar to the Wu Yuan in Ye Ye's memory.

Awesome! Awesome!
