Chapter 482 sequel
The first to break the silence between Melos and Lin Xiyue was not either of them, but Lingji, who was standing to the side.
"Uh, cough cough... So, is everything resolved now?"
Lingji coughed a few times, seemingly hesitant, but after Lingye gave him several meaningful glances, he finally mustered the courage to ask.
In fact, Lingji knew very well that, as things stand, everything had indeed been resolved and there seemed to be no further developments.
However, she also understood that the real trouble was yet to come.
The issue of whether the alien race would agree to leave more things for research is particularly troublesome if there's going to be a lot of wrangling.
After all, obtaining more research materials would greatly help humanity in exploring the use of energy, but the alien races might not agree.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the energy on MapleNether Star only began to gradually increase after the alien race arrived.
It was precisely for this reason that humanity formally established an official organization at this time and began to conduct large-scale research on how to utilize this suddenly emerging energy.
Therefore, the current research is still quite superficial.
"Ah, it's solved!"
Lin Xiyue's voice revealed an irrepressible excitement.
Her gaze quickly shifted to Meros, and when their eyes met, she saw the corners of his mouth turn up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he nodded slightly to her.
This subtle gesture made Lin Xiyue understand that Moros was telling her that everything had been handled properly.
"Don't worry, it's all taken care of."
Lin Xiyue quickly turned her head and refocused her attention on Lingji and the others, her voice still carrying a hint of excitement.
"That's good. Let's discuss this then."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lingye took over the conversation from Lingji without hesitation, his voice steady and decisive.
"Well, now that the problem has been solved, let's discuss what to do next."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meros, and in the instant their eyes met, a tacit understanding seemed to pass between them.
"Well, okay."
Meros understood immediately and responded in a low voice.
"Baby, why don't you go play at the logistics department with Lingji? There's nothing fun here. I'll come pick you up after I finish talking to her."
Then, Meros looked at Lin Xiyue and said gently.
This wasn't actually to assign Lin Xiyue any special task; it was mainly because she might get bored here alone, and it wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened, so that's why I said it.
Upon hearing Melos's words, Lin Xiyue nodded obediently, indicating that she understood his meaning, and then followed Lingji away.
"The matter has been basically resolved now, and we will send people to meet Lingyan and the others. At present, it seems that everything has been settled."
"So, I'd like to ask, what are your specific plans for the future?"
Meros and Lingye walked to the side, and Lingye frowned and asked with a serious expression.
“If there are no particularly important matters to attend to next, I will probably choose to stay here. However, if you encounter any problems or need to communicate after establishing diplomatic relations with us, I will send relevant personnel to handle them.”
"Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, I hope you will not disturb me unnecessarily."
Meros thought for a moment, then answered.
Meros clearly understood the underlying meaning in Lingye's words, and his reply was exceptionally decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, that's great! Don't worry, we will definitely keep our promise."
Upon hearing Melos's clear answer, Lingye's eyes lit up, and a very pleasant smile appeared on his face. He said happily.
Meros knew perfectly well that Lingye's question was actually an attempt to understand the alien races' true views on co-development with humans, and whether they would change their previous idea of co-development with humans due to certain factors.
After all, this matter is currently only at the stage of verbal intention, and there has not even been a written agreement yet. It is just a simple exchange of wishes between the senior management of both parties.
Moreover, there are fundamental differences between alien races and humans.
Although humanity now has two large nations, they are barely able to unite and work together against such a huge external threat.
However, the alien races were not like that.
They value strength above all else and follow the law of the jungle: the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.
Therefore, if Meros were the king of the alien race, his personal thoughts would almost represent the stance of the entire alien race.
If he changes his mind, everything that happened before could be overturned at any time.
Therefore, Meros's attitude and ideas are particularly crucial.
His answer undoubtedly reassured Ling Ye, allowing her to report the news without any worries.
With both sides having made their positions clear, their subsequent discussions went exceptionally smoothly, and they happily discussed the follow-up matters regarding this incident.
On the other side, Lin Xiyue and Lingji arrived at the logistics department together.
The place was bustling with people, a scene of great activity.
Before they arrived, Lingjiu had already gone ahead to the logistics department.
However, although Lingjiu arrived earlier than them, since he knew nothing about how to handle these matters, his main task here was not to directly participate in the work, but to lead the technical staff to tidy up their equipment.
These items are quite difficult to handle for those unfamiliar with them, and can easily be damaged if handled carelessly.
Therefore, technical professionals need to be present at all times to closely monitor the entire process to ensure the safety and integrity of these items.
"Huh? Come to think of it, what am I supposed to do here?"
Lin Xiyue looked at Lingji with a blank expression, her heart filled with doubt.
She was led to the logistics department by a sudden inspiration. People were busy moving around, each focused on their own work. The whole scene seemed a bit chaotic but orderly.
Lin Xiyue stood aside, watching the busy scene, and suddenly felt a little out of place.
She didn't know what to do. Although she knew that doing nothing would be fine, the thought of doing nothing in this environment made her feel uneasy.
