The canteen of the Academy of Sciences is open 24 hours a day. This is of course because it is the Federal Academy of Sciences. Once scientists and researchers work, they have no idea of ​​time. They often forget the normal meal time, which leads to missing meals and affecting their health.☆→So, considering this, the administrative staff of the Academy of Sciences changed the canteen from the initial schedule to 24 hours a day. Although this increases the difficulty of canteen management, it is also welcomed by scientists and researchers. Whether late at night or early in the morning, the canteen of the Academy of Sciences often brings tired scientific researchers to the canteen to have a meal.

Now is the time period with the most crowded canteens. After all, there are still some scientific researchers in the Academy of Sciences who are accustomed to maintaining a good schedule. In addition, ordinary administrative personnel, etc. When Meng Lin walked into the canteen gate, he found that many people were queuing up to pick up meals.

The dining method is basically self-service buffet, and the food in the cafeteria is full of dazzling. It can be said that the tastes of various countries on earth can be found here before. Those who like to eat rice naturally have rice. Those who like to eat steak can also take a big-eyed steak. Those who are used to pasta have a variety of pasta products. Even the corn paste that African blacks often eat is also available here.

He took a plate on one side, and Meng Lin followed the people in the queue to choose some food he liked. When the plate was full, he took the plate and found an empty seat to sit down and eat.

After taking a few bites, he felt someone standing behind him. Meng Lin didn't pay attention, thinking that the other party wanted to ask if there was anyone in the empty space beside him. He chewed the food in his mouth and said vaguely that there was no one here, but the other party did not move, but instead walked from behind him to his side.

"Xiao Meng?"

"Old Li?!"

Hearing the hello, Meng Lin looked up and recognized who the other party was. Isn’t the person standing beside him holding a plate and smiling at him?

"Haha! It's really you. I looked at my back from the front and felt like, why are you here?" Li Xiao and Meng Lin have always met each other. They worked at the Northwest Base and the relationship between them and Su Yichen was considered very good friends. 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 sides had communication on weekdays, they had been considered to have had a lot of time not to meet.

Li Xiao sat down next to Meng Lin happily. Both old friends were very happy to meet. Meng Lin told Li Xiao that he was here to attend the topic seminar this time, and asked why Li Xiao would be here too? You should know that before Meng Lin returned to Earth, Li Xiao went to the Mars base to assist in the construction of Mars. Is the work of the Mars base over?

"As early, it's not 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 city has risen from the ground, and humans' immigration from Earth to Mars has also begun. Now there are more than 20 million humans living on Mars, and according to the estimate, this number will reach 100 million in a few years. By then, Mars will become another life planet like Earth.

But as Li Xiao said, it is not that easy to transform a planet. It may take many years of effort for humans to transform Mars into another earth. In this process, Mars City was built in a space city. The entire Mars City is protected in a force field area, which is equivalent to replacing the function of the air-energy layer. In order to avoid being hit by a meteorite, and to prevent the initial ecological environment of Mars City from being damaged.

As for the atmosphere transformation of Mars itself, it will take a lot of time and effort. It is not easy to transform the atmosphere structure of a planet. Although the technology of the earth has barely reached this point, success requires gradual progress. This cannot be rushed.

"I'm on vacation this time. The project I have just completed. I finally have free time and I will go back to Earth." Li Xiao took a sip of the soup and said with a smile while eating the food.

"Take a vacation? Is it here for a vacation?" Meng Lin didn't believe Li Xiao's words. He didn't know what kind of personality Li Xiao is? This is simply a fool.

"Haha, I know I can't hide it from you." After hearing this, Li Xiao laughed and shook his head and said, "It's true that I'm taking a vacation, but I'm here to do something. By the way, you know what the old dean is going to leave, right?"

Seeing Meng Lin nodding, Li Xiao continued, "So, let's take a look at the old dean when he comes back this time. It is said that he will completely retreat as soon as he retreats, and there will not be much time to meet again in the future."

"Retreat completely? Didn't the committee give Mr. Tian the honorary president of the country as a lifelong member?" Meng Lin was stunned and stopped the chopsticks in his hand.

"You don't know who our old dean is?" Li Xiao shook his head and sighed, "He pushed all these. The old dean said that since he wanted to retreat, he should retreat cleanly and not do things that occupy the pit and do not shit. It would be useless if he wanted these false names."

Meng Lin thought silently and finally sighed. That's right, Mr. Tian has this personality. His early military career gave him a different personality than ordinary scientific researchers. This personality and style have a strong sense of military service. Meng Lin was both moved and admired by Mr. Tian's decision.

Similarly, Li Xiao's words reminded him that this time he came to the headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences, he forgot to visit Mr. Tian, ​​and immediately asked whether Li Xiao had already visited Mr. Tian. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao replied that he had made an appointment with Mr. Tian to go to his house tonight, and wasn't he going to have a meal to set off.

When he heard this was the case, Meng Lin quickly said that he wanted to go too. This suggestion was not a problem. He was very familiar with Mr. Tian, ​​and it was not a big deal to have more Meng Lin. Li Xiao immediately agreed.

After using the meal, they sat down and chatted for a few more minutes. After half an hour, they saw that the time was almost over. The two got up and left the cafeteria, got into 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 is very quiet everywhere. Although there are no guards all the way, when their vehicles enter the living area, the smart brain determines their identities through scanning.

Mr. Tian’s house is a gray building. This small building is the first batch of 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 place to live according to Mr. Tian’s identity 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 he arrived at the place, he got off the car and verified his identity at the door. The door controlled by the intelligent brain slowly opened automatically. Mr. Tian was a person who didn't like to be special. He had only two staff members in his home, one was Mr. Tian's secretary and the other was Mr. Tian's nanny. Although many housekeeping tasks can be completed through robots now, Mr. Tian still stubbornly used his nanny. According to him, someone in his family was popular, and this feeling was incomparable to the cold machine.

"Aunt Du, is Mr. Tian at home?" After entering the door, a gray-haired woman came up. Li Xiao and the others recognized her as the nanny in the hometown of Mr. Tian. Aunt Du has been working in Mr. Tian for more than ten years, and it can be said that it is half of Mr. Tian's relatives.

"I'm here, the old man is playing chess with someone." Aunt Du said with a smile, and pointed to the study room in the room.

"Aunt Du, go and do your business. Let's go there by yourself, please trouble you."

"You're welcome, you can do whatever you want." Aunt Du nodded with a smile. It seemed that there was soup in the kitchen, and a faint fragrance came faintly.

Mr. Tian’s secretary has already gotten off work. Who is Mr. Tian playing chess with? With doubts, Meng Lin and Li Xiao walked into the house and walked through the living room to the study. The door of the study was not closed. At a glance, he saw Mr. Tian sitting in front of the chess case and holding a chess piece in his hand, frowned and thinking hard.

And there was an old man watching by his side. The old man made Meng Lin and Li Xiao stunned when they saw it because they all knew who the old man was. He was the first director of the 781 Center, the former director of Mr. Tian, ​​and the former academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's complexion is obviously much better than more than ten years ago. He replaced his heart through cloning technology a few years ago, thus completely getting rid of the long-hacked disease. In addition, the rapid advancement of medical technology in recent years has greatly continued human health and life. Lin Dong now looks a little younger than before, with a rosy face and a refreshing spirit. He can't tell at all that he is an old man who is over 80 years old.

The old man who played against Mr. Hotan was also an old man, but Meng Lin and the others could not see his front, but he could only see his back. The old man's hair was more white than black, and he looked similar to Mr. Tian and the others, but his figure was not as tall as Mr. Tian, ​​who had been a soldier.

"I have it!" Old Tian, ​​who was thinking hard, suddenly lit his eyes, and the chess piece in his hand slapped heavily on the chessboard. After making a move, he immediately laughed: "I'm going to Huanglong, let's see what you do!"

The other party just looked at Tian Laoluozi's position silently and didn't say anything. Unlike the old man who proudly picked up the cup and drank tea, the old man just stretched out his fingers and lifted it from the chess box and gently landed it in another position.

Old Tian seemed to have considered the next steps long ago, but he saw that every chess piece fell down as if it was a big move in the battle, and it looked very imposing. However, the old man was extremely calm, and every word fell was so casual. However, after a few moves, Old Tian's proud expression gradually solidified on his face. The chess piece in his hand suddenly became as heavy as a pound and could not fall down.

"Hey... you won again." This sentence was helplessly spoken from Old Tian. Old Tian said frustrated: "You have been making trouble for a long time and you deliberately leaked the flaw just now. Just wait for me to drill into it?"

"Hahaha, Laotian, Laotian, I've said you to me a long time ago, but look, don't you believe it, right? You always believe it now?" Lin Dong next to him laughed happily, looking at the fun.

"You can do it? You can do it! Don't stand and talk without any pain. It's hard to see people carry the load." Old Tian glared at Lin Dong angrily. Lin Dong looked like he knew you would say that, and his head suddenly shook his rattle: "I'm going to do it? I can't do it. I know I'm going to do it again? Am I sick?"

"Hmph! I'll get off, but I don't even have the courage to go to the battlefield. If I fight, I'll see that you, Lao Lin, will definitely be a traitor."

"I know myself. Besides, what's so strange about students but teachers? I've known this a few decades ago. I don't even want to do anything like some people, and I don't give up until the Yellow River." Lin Dong was not inspired by Mr. Tian at all, and he laughed and said to him.

Two people say one thing and one word, it’s like a child quarrels, so the same character as children is fully reflected between them.

Meng Lin and Li Xiao, who were standing at the door, couldn't help but laugh secretly. This was the first time they saw the other side of these two old leaders, but they were different from Meng Lin. When Li Xiao heard what Lin Dongsu said, his heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the old man who played chess with old man Tian was...?

"Hey, aren't these Xiao Li and Xiao Meng? When did you come?" After laughing and making a few words, Lin Dong saw Li Xiao and the others standing outside the door, and hurriedly called them in.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, we just came." Li Xiao and Meng Linxian said hello to Lin Dong, and then greeted Mr. Tian again.

"Come in directly when you come, stand at the door and watch us lively, right?" Old Tian said blamely, but there was no real criticism in his tone, and even a smile on his face.

At this moment, the old man who had never seen his face turned around and smiled and said, "You are not kind to the master, and you will not accept the guests when you come, and you blame the guests for not coming in at the door."

"Hahaha, what you said is, yes, yes, I didn't take good care of you." Meng Lin was surprised. Old Tian looked like a junior in front of the old man and even apologized. You know, they just saw with their own eyes that Old Tian and Lin Dong were arguing and dissatisfied, but why are they now?

Meng Lin didn't know the old man, but Li Xiao knew him. When he saw the old man's face, Li Xiao hurried forward: "Old Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well recently?"

"It's not bad. I've been having a comfortable life these years, and I've never seen you for so long. Xiao Li, we haven't seen you for many years, right? It's been about nine years, right?" Wan Changchun looked at Li Xiao with a smile, and Li Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Wan Lao is good at memory. It's true that he hasn't seen you for nine years. Time passes so fast!"
