Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"Exploration, transportation, and the like."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the master and asked, "Are you interested, sir?"

Mr. Da shook his head. "I don't know anything about these things, but my friend is very interested. How about you two chat about it?"

Xia Jiumeng nodded slightly.

"This is Vice Minister Liu from the Aviation Administration, and this is Miss Xia."

The master introduced them to each other.

The two men stood up, shook hands and greeted each other.

Minister Liu spoke first. "Excuse me, but when Miss Xia talks about exploration, does she mean the tunnel?"

He subconsciously thought it was exploring a deep space tunnel.

After all, as another large source of cores, many people hope to be able to go deep into it and obtain cores like the distant space fleet to gain huge benefits.

Although anyone can go to the deep space tunnel, so far only the high-space fleet can navigate and fight in it.

The Far Space Fleet is ostensibly guarding the rogue bodies that intercept the tunnels, but in reality they are acquiring cores and conducting illegal experiments on them. From time to time, they also release dangerous rogue bodies to threaten the safety of the New Earth.

Although they found some traces, they were out of reach and unable to stop it.

Firstly, having them as a cooperative 'cruiser' in the tunnel did reduce the number of stray bodies that came to Earth through the tunnel. Secondly, they did not have spacecraft comparable to the fleet and could not get close to investigate.

Can't do more than occasional verbal pressure.

Xia Jiumeng shook her head. "Not really. The universe is so vast. It's a bit shortsighted to only focus on the tunnel."

"Besides, the side effects of core energy are not small, right?"

Minister Liu paused, as if he didn't expect Xia Jiumeng to say that.

"How did Miss Xia know?"

This matter should be a secret known only to a few senior executives.

There is indeed a problem with the core energy, which they only discovered in recent years.

When they were extracting its energy, they discovered that some of the substances it contained could cause mutations in humans if exposed to it for a long time, and these could not be eliminated by any means.

And this impact is irreversible. The abnormalities discovered so far include changes in some people's personality, cognition, and some parts of the body, but these changes are not obvious. Instead, they are somewhat similar to a latent period, and they will not erupt until they accumulate to a certain level.

They also found similar elements in the mutants found in some operations.

This forced them to be more careful and even reduce the use of core energy.

"We are not only engaged in weapons research, but we also know a little about potions." Xia Jiumeng smiled slightly.

Anyway, they will find the black market shops sooner or later, and these medicines have to be shown to the public, so she doesn't mind exposing some of them.

And she only now realized that the potion bottles that Xiaoqi had prepared for her all had a special mark of the letter 'x'.

Once those medicines circulating on the black market are known to Mr. Da and others, people like him can find out her other identity, Meng Yun, through in-depth investigation.

Because there are also marks similar to 'x' on the binary stars.

So she didn't bother to hide it.

Mr. Da and Minister Liu's pupils shrank when they heard Xia Jiumeng's words. Pharmaceutical research?!

Is your scope so broad?

Is this an all-round scientific research talent? !

"Miss Xia is truly multi-talented."

"I wonder what kind of medicines Miss Xia is involved in?"

Mr. Da asked calmly, because he had recently received a mysterious potion from his subordinates, and the logo on it looked familiar.

Unexpectedly, before he could test her, Xia Jiumeng said it herself.
