The cafeteria of the Academy of Sciences is open 24 hours a day.
This is of course because this is the Federal Academy of Sciences.
Once the scientists and researchers here start working, they have no sense of time and often forget the normal meal times, resulting in missing meals and affecting their health. , therefore, considering this, the administrators of the Academy of Sciences changed the canteen from the original scheduled time to 24 hours.
Although this increased the difficulty of canteen management, it was also welcomed by scientists and researchers, whether it was late at night or early in the morning.
In the cafeteria of the Academy of Sciences, there are often twos and threes of tired scientific researchers rushing to the cafeteria to have a meal.
Now is the time when there are the most people in the cafeteria.
After all, there are still some scientific researchers in the Academy of Sciences who are used to maintaining good work and rest schedules, plus ordinary administrative staff, etc.
When Meng Lin walked into the cafeteria door, he found that there were already many people Queuing for food.
The dining method is basically self-service, and the food in the cafeteria is dazzling.
It can be said that the tastes of all the countries on the earth can be found here.
Those who like to eat rice will naturally have rice.
Those who like steak can also get a piece of big eye steak.
Those who are used to pasta, there are all kinds of pasta products here, even the kind of polenta that black Africans often eat here. supply.
Taking a plate on one side, Meng Lin followed the people in line and picked some of his favorite foods.
When the plate was full, he took the plate and found an empty seat to sit down and eat.
After just a few bites, he felt someone standing behind him.
Meng Lin didn't pay attention, only thinking that the other person wanted to ask if there was anyone in the empty seat next to him.
He chewed the food in his mouth and said vaguely that there was no one here, but the other party didn't make any move.
Instead, he walked from behind him to his side.
"Xiao Meng" "Old Li" Hearing the greeting, Meng Lin looked up and recognized who the other person was.
The person standing next to him holding a plate and looking at him with a smile was Li Xiao.
"Haha, it's really you.
When I looked at the back from the front, I thought, why are you here?"
Li Xiao and Meng Lin are old acquaintances.
They worked at the northwest base together, and their relationship with Su Yichen , considered a very good friend.
However, their respective jobs changed later, after the war broke out.
Li Xiao stayed at the Northwest Base, while Meng Lin went to Pluto.
This separation lasted for many years.
Although the two parties communicated on weekdays, they did not see each other for a long time.
Li Xiao happily sat down next to Meng Lin.
Both parties were very happy to meet old friends.
Meng Lin told Li Xiao that he was here to participate in a topic discussion and asked Li Xiao why he was here.
He knew that Li Xiao was in Meng Lin.
Before returning to Earth, he went to the Mars base to assist in the construction of Mars.
Is the work on the Mars base finished?
"It's early.
How can it be so easy to build Mars?
Mars is not Pluto.
Everything has to be done little by little."
Li Xiao replied with a smile.
Although the construction of Mars is very fast, and with the expansion of the Mars base, a new Mars cities have already been built, and the migration of humans from Earth to Mars has already begun.
There are now more than 20 million humans living on Mars, and it is expected that this number will reach 100 million in a few years.
By then Mars will become another planet with life like the Earth.
But as Li Xiao said, transforming a planet is not that easy.
It will probably take many years of hard work for humans to transform Mars into another Earth.

During this process, the Mars City was built in a manner similar to that of a space city.
The entire Mars City was protected within a force field area, which essentially replaced the role of the inflatable layer.
To prevent the Mars City from being hit by meteorites, and to prevent the initial ecological environment of the Mars City from being damaged.
As for the transformation of the atmosphere of Mars itself, it will take a lot of time and effort.
Transforming the atmosphere structure of a planet is not an easy task.
Although the earth's technology has barely reached this step, success requires a step-by-step approach.
This can't be rushed.
"I'm on vacation this time.
The project I'm working on has just been completed.
I finally have some free time so I can take a trip back to Earth."
Li Xiao took a sip of soup and said with a smile while eating his food.
"I came here on vacation."
Meng Lin didn't believe Li Xiao's words.
He didn't know what kind of person Li Xiao was.
This was simply deceiving.
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Li Xiao laughed immediately after hearing this, shook his head and said: "It's true that I'm on vacation, but I'm here to do some errands.
By the way, the old dean wants to You know about the withdrawal, right?"
Seeing Meng Lin nodding, Li Xiao continued: "So, I will take the opportunity to visit the old dean when I come back this time.
It is said that he has completely retired now and there will not be much time to meet again in the future."
"If you step down completely, doesn't it mean that the committee will grant Mr.
Tian the title of honorary president and lifelong member?"
Meng Lin was stunned and stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand.
"You still don't know who our old dean is."
Li Xiao shook his head and sighed: "He pushed all these things away.
The old dean said that if you want to retire, you should do so cleanly and don't do those who occupy the latrine.
It’s useless to have these false names.”
Meng Lin thought about it silently, and finally sighed.
Yes, Mr.
Tian has this character.
His early military career gave him a different character from ordinary scientific researchers.
This character and style has a strong military flavor.
Meng Lin was filled with emotion and admiration for Mr.
Tian's decision.
Similarly, Li Xiao's words also reminded him that he had forgotten to visit Mr.
Tian this time when he came to the headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences.
He immediately asked Li Xiao if he had visited Mr.
Tian.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiao replied that he had made an appointment with Mr.
Tian tonight.
Go to his house, he is preparing to have a good meal and set off.
Upon hearing this, Meng Lin quickly said that he wanted to go too.
This suggestion was not a problem.
He and Tian were very familiar with each other, and having Meng Lin there was no big deal.
Li Xiao immediately agreed.

After finishing the meal, they sat and chatted for a few more words.
After half an hour, they saw that the time was almost up.
The two got up and left the canteen, got in Li Xiao's car and rushed to Mr.
Tian's residence.
The place where Mr.
Tian lives also belongs to the headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences, but it is a living area and the surrounding area is very quiet.
Although there were no guards along the way, when their vehicle entered the living area, Zhinao confirmed their identity through scanning.
Mr.
Tian's home is a small gray building.
This small building was one of the first buildings built shortly after the establishment of the Federal Academy of Sciences. over the years.
With the development of the Federal Academy of Sciences, many more and better buildings have been built in the living area.
It is not difficult to change to a better residence according to Mr.
Tian's status and level.
However, every time the administrator of the Academy of Sciences proposed it, he was rejected by Mr.
Tian. , so Mr.
Tian has always lived here.
When I got to the place, I got out of the car and verified my identity at the door.
The door controlled by the brain slowly opens automatically.
Mr.
Tian is a person who doesn't like to be special.
There are only two staff members in his family besides himself, one is Mr.
Tian's secretary, and the other is Mr.
Tian's nanny.
Although many domestic tasks can now be completed by robots, Mr.
Tian, who is nostalgic, still insists on using his own nanny.
According to him, having people in the family makes people popular.
This feeling is incomparable to cold machines.
"Aunt Du, Mr.
Tian is at home."
After entering the door, a gray-haired woman came forward.
Li Xiao and the others recognized her at a glance as Tian's nanny.
Aunt Du had been working for Mr.
Tian for more than ten years and could be said to be half of Mr.
Tian's relatives.
"Yes, yes, the old man is playing chess with someone."
Aunt Du said with a smile, pointing to the study room in the house.
"Aunt Du, please go and do your work.
We'll go there by ourselves, please."
"You're welcome, you can do whatever you want."
Aunt Du smiled and nodded.
It seemed that soup was still being cooked in the kitchen, and a faint aroma came faintly.
Mr.
Tian's secretary has already got off work.
Who was Mr.
Tian playing chess with?

With doubts, Meng Lin and Li Xiao walked into the house, walked through the living room and came to the study.
The door of the study was not closed.
At a glance, they saw Mr.
Tian sitting in front of the chess case, weighing something in his hands.
A chess piece, frowning and thinking hard.
There was an old man watching beside him.
Meng Lin and Li Xiao were stunned when they saw this old man, because they both knew who this old man was.
He was the first director of the 781 Center, Mr.
Tian's predecessor, and the former academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Lin Dong.
Lin Dong's complexion is obviously much better than it was ten years ago.
He replaced his heart through cloning technology a few years ago, thus completely getting rid of the long-standing disease.
Coupled with the rapid advancement of medical technology in recent years, people's health and life have been greatly extended.
Today, Lin Dong He looks a bit younger than he did back then.
His face is rosy and he is full of energy.
There is no trace of him being an old man who is over 80 years old.
The person playing against Mr.
Hetian was also an old man, but Meng Lin and the others couldn't see his front, only his back.
This old man's hair is more white than black.
He looks similar to Mr.
Tian and others, but he is not as tall as Mr.
Tian who has been a soldier.
"Yes."
Mr.
Tian's eyes suddenly lit up while he was thinking hard.
He slapped the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.
After placing the piece, he burst into laughter: "I'll go straight to Huanglong.
Let's see what you do."
The other party just silently looked at the position of Mr.
Tian's moves without saying a word.
Unlike Mr.
Tian who proudly picked up the cup and drank tea, this old man just stretched out two fingers to pick up one word from the chess box and gently dropped it on the other.
Location.
Mr.
Tian seemed to have already thought about the next steps.
Every chess piece he dropped was held high and dropped as if he were making a bold move in battle.
He looked very imposing.
But the old man was extremely calm, and every word he made was so casual.
But after a few moves, Mr.
Tian's proud expression gradually solidified on his face, and the chess pieces in his hand suddenly became as heavy as ten thousand.
Why?
Neither can fall down.
"Hey, you won again."
This sentence came out of Mr.
Tian's mouth helplessly.
Mr.

Tian said in frustration: "You have been making trouble for a long time and the flaw just now was deliberately leaked by you, just waiting for me to drill into it."
"Hahaha, Lao Tian, Lao Tian, I told you a long time ago that you can't do it.
Look, you didn't believe it, but now you believe it."
Lin Dong next to him laughed happily, looking like he was gloating at the fun.
"You can do it, you can do it.
Don't stand and talk until your back hurts, and it's hard to see people carrying burdens."
Mr.
Tian glared at Lin Dong angrily, and Lin Dong looked like he knew you would say this.
Suddenly it turned into a rattle: "I won't do it if I do it.
I know I can't do it but if you go and abuse me, I'm sick."
"You can't do it, you can't do it.
You don't even have the courage to go to the battlefield.
If there is a war, I will see that you, Old Lin, are definitely a traitor."
"I am self-aware.
Besides, it is so strange that a student cannot succeed as a teacher.
I have known this for decades.
How can I be like some people who insist on doing something even though they know it is not possible and do not give up until they reach the Yellow River?"
."
Lin Dong was not agitated by Mr.
Tian at all, so he shot back at him cheerfully.
The two people talking to each other are like children quarreling.
Therefore, children and old people have the same personalities as children, which is fully reflected between them.
Meng Lin and Li Xiao standing at the door couldn't help but snicker.
This was the first time they saw another side of these two old leaders, but it was different from Meng Lin.
When Li Xiao heard what Lin Dong said, When he said this, his heart suddenly moved.
Could it be that the old man playing chess with Tian Lao was actually "Hey, aren't these Xiao Li and Xiao Meng?
When did you come?"
After laughing for a while, Lin Dong saw Li Xiao and the others standing outside the door, and quickly greeted them to come in.
"Hello Mr.
Lin, we have just arrived."
Li Xiao and Meng Lin said hello to Mr.
Lin first, and then greeted Mr.
Tian.
"Come in directly when you come, why don't you stand at the door and watch us lively?"
Mr.
Tian said reproachfully, but there was no real blame in his tone, and he even had a smile on his face.
At this moment, the old man whose face he had never seen turned around when he heard the sound, and said with the same smile: "You are an unkind master.
You don't receive guests when they come, and you blame them for standing at the door and not coming in."
"Hahaha, what you are saying is, yes, yes, I didn't take good care of him."
Meng Lin was very surprised, but Mr.
Tian looked very polite like a junior in front of the old man, and even took the initiative to apologize.
You must know that they just saw Mr.
Tian and Lin Dong arguing with their own eyes and looking unconvinced, but why now?
Meng Lin didn't know the old man, but Li Xiao did.
When he saw the old man's face, Li Xiao quickly stepped forward and said, "Wan Lao, I haven't seen you for a long time.

How are you doing lately?"
"It's not bad.
I've been living comfortably these past few years.
It's never been this good.
Xiao Li, we haven't seen each other for a few years.
It's been about nine years."
Wan Changchun looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
He nodded repeatedly: "Wan Lao has a good memory.
It's been nine years since we last met.
Time flies so fast." s: I wish everyone a happy weekend.
