The meeting room door was closed again.
Gathered in the room at this moment were all the astronomers and linguists who had been recruited and taken in by Wuming City.
Of course, Lin Yu was also called over. He sat beside Lu Heng, still unclear about Lu Heng's purpose in summoning everyone.
Lin Yu leaned forward slightly and whispered to Lu Heng, "Brother Lu, what's going on?"
"It's related to those people."
Lu Heng spoke cryptically. It was not yet time to reveal the discovery of aliens. Those who had seen aliens before were being held and confined, and they hadn't had time to spread the word about what happened in Luocheng.
However, Lin Yu was aware of this matter. He nodded in understanding and sat up straight.
"Everyone has been called here because City Lord Lu has something to tell you," Chen Dong began. They had done this sort of thing often before the apocalypse.
After Chen Dong finished speaking, all eyes turned to Lu Heng.
"Everyone present is one of the rare talents we can currently find. Of course, there are many other talented individuals who are not here today, but they are not directly related to what I am going to say, so they were not notified.
You should all be familiar with each other through your interactions in Wuming City. Everyone present is a linguist and an expert in aerospace technology."
"Haha, we can't claim to be experts. At most, we have a little understanding of our respective fields, with some shallow insights," Chen Dong quickly responded.
Before the apocalypse, he had made significant contributions primarily in the medical field and had no prior interactions with those present today.
However, the entire research center of Wuming City was now under his management, so Lu Heng had also asked him to listen in this time.
"You don't need to be so modest now. Under the current circumstances, it is too difficult to cultivate another talent like yourselves."
What Lu Heng said was indeed true. Not to mention the interruption of over a decade of systematic learning, the most that young people were learning now was how to use their abilities to kill zombies.
Without the educational model promoted by the country in the past, humanity struggled daily on the brink of survival.
"We will guarantee your absolute safety in Wuming City and provide you with better living conditions. You must not only continue to utilize your abilities in your respective fields but also look towards the future. You also have the task of educating the next generation of successors, which is something ordinary people like us cannot replace."
The weighty words plunged everyone present into silence. Chen Dong also quieted down, contemplating Lu Heng's words.
They had survived the zombie attacks by chance. Afterwards, they wandered around. Some had coincidentally killed zombies and gained abilities when the apocalypse struck, but more people were still ordinary individuals before arriving at Wuming City.
Liu Guodong looked at the silent people around him. He raised his head to look at Lu Heng and said, "We will definitely not take our lifelong learning to our graves. For the sake of humanity's future, we will pass on our lifelong knowledge to the next generation, allowing science to continue on Blue Star."
"I believe you can definitely achieve this. You don't need to be too sad or worried. Wuming City will also select suitable young people in the future to specifically study knowledge in their areas of interest," Lin Yu chimed in, revealing some of Wuming City's future plans.
This point had been quietly underway since the establishment of the research center in Wuming City, but it was not easy to find suitable individuals.
Fortunately, even those who came to Wuming City and could not become ability users through crystals during the apocalypse had their physiques improved by Lu Heng using magic crystals.
At the very least, these experts' bodies were much better than before. As long as they did not encounter zombies and their safety was guaranteed, it was entirely possible for each of them to live to be a hundred years old.
"The matter I want to discuss today is indeed closely related to your personnel at the aerospace base. Didn't we find some extraterrestrial materials for you earlier? Have you made any progress in your research recently?"
"No progress. Those are too difficult to understand, and we still don't know where to start. We have no idea from which aspect to break through."
This was not their fault. Indeed, with Blue Star's current technology and people's understanding, it was impossible to comprehend alien life, especially the technological products of higher civilizations, without guidance.
"This, perhaps we have a breakthrough now. I have obtained some more information, and this is why I have called everyone present."
Upon hearing Lu Heng's words, everyone present looked at Lu Heng in surprise, their faces filled with expectation and joy.
Lu Heng took out the items given by Bona from his space. "This contains data on alien languages and culture, but it has already been translated into several common languages on Blue Star. You linguists need to proofread these. While proofreading, hand over the corrected content to the aerospace experts."
"Please try to understand the contents here as soon as possible. The amount of information might be large. Start by researching our country's language first. When you have time later, you can proofread the other languages as well."
"Is this the product of the same civilization as the materials obtained earlier?" Liu Guodong looked at the small metal object on the table, which looked very similar.
"It should be, if I'm not mistaken."
Afterwards, Lu Heng took out the metal object from his space that could carry people and float.
"Let me show you the marvel of these high-tech objects, although I don't understand the specific principles."
Then, Lu Heng put away the conference table in the room and walked to the open space in the center, demonstrating the usage of the metal object to everyone present.
"This... this thing is too amazing. This is definitely not a product of Blue Star."
"Yes, look, City Lord Lu is floating in mid-air, with no support beneath his feet."
"City Lord Lu, isn't this a new ability of yours?" someone asked incredulously.
"How could it be? Let me fly a bit higher, and you can see. I feel like I'm stepping on something beneath my feet."
Saying that, Lu Heng adjusted his height again, his head touching the ceiling.
Seeing this, the crowd excitedly gathered around, looking at Lu Heng's feet.
However, they could still see the state of Lu Heng's soles, even the patterns on the soles were clearly visible, and there was no solid material as Lu Heng had described.
Liu Guodong squeezed his way forward a few more steps. He reached out to touch the bottom of Lu Heng's feet. "There's something. I'm not touching the sole's texture; it's indeed a flat surface."
Hearing Liu Guodong say this, many of the people gathered around showed eager expressions and reached out to touch beneath Lu Heng's feet.
