A Decision in a Word

That was the kind of wrangling and bickering that occurred in America Earth Era, when it championed liberalism and was building high-speed rail and highways.

For modern humans, these memories are ancient. It's estimated that apart from the earliest survivors of Callisto, no one else has such memories.

In a daze, he felt that it wasn't just the New Collider project he had spearheaded that had fallen into this state of internal strife; many other conferences seemed to be experiencing the same thing. For example, the Summary Conference the search for extraterrestrial relics seemed to be the most typical example, aside from the problems with the New Collider.

As a Particle Physics, Liu Miyan is not good at this kind of thing. He knows he will not give up on pushing forward the project, but he is now very unsure whether continuing to persist in the same way will yield results. He is worried that the New Collider project will get stuck in this endless internal friction.

"It failed again. Construction hasn't even started yet. How did it turn out like this?" Liu Miyan, who had just exited the virtual meeting, let out a frustrated sigh, as if she could exhale all her worries.

After getting up and stepping out of the Virtual Cabin, Liu Miyan left her room and wandered aimlessly on the street, looking preoccupied.

His spaceship was Research Ship, and the so-called main street was actually a series of passageways and corridors between research institutes and organizations. It was certainly spacious enough; by Earth's standards, it would be considered a one-way, two-way road.

Since it is not a residential area, there is no simulated gravity generated by rotation, so what Liu Miyan walking is actually an action that can only be achieved by using Magnetic Boots.

There are many Research Personnel like him, and some simply drifted along the road.

Since it's a spaceship, the roads can't really be like highways in Earth Era. The so-called roads on the spaceship are divided into several layers. The ground-level roads are located on the floor of each layer, which is quite normal and is for people who are used to taking walks or traveling short distances.

There are two more levels above, both for the spaceship's vehicles; these are fast lanes. People who need to quickly navigate will use flying vehicles to pass through these two lanes.

Such a design is not difficult for modern humans; it is a simple application of magnetic field technology.

As he walked, Liu Miyan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the eight large characters "Academy of Life Sciences Research Institute" out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head to the right and saw that after the eight large characters, there were words written in smaller font such as "Branch of Research Ship No. 95".

We've actually ended up here.

Liu Miyan muttered to himself.

He remembered that Yi Kai seemed to have been guiding work at this research institute for the past few years, but it had been too long and he couldn't quite remember. He wasn't sure if it was the No. 95 or the No. 98 Research Ship.

It doesn't matter if you can't remember; you can just check the system. He still has that much access.

Upon checking, it turned out that I was right; Yi Kai had indeed spent the last ten years here.

Seeing this, Liu Miyan, who was in a bad mood because of the bickering meeting, immediately decided to catch up with this old friend. It just so happened that it was after work hours, although it didn't matter if it was during work hours.

Liu Miyan didn't need an appointment; he made a direct call to Yi Kai's personal communication terminal, saying he was right outside the gate.

"What a rare sight! What wind has blown our great Particle Physics here?"

Upon meeting, Liu Miyan heard these words come out of Yi Kai's mouth.

Before Liu Miyan reply, Yi Kai pointed to the sofa in his private office, then withdrew his hand and said, "Just sit down. It's just a lonely place anyway. It's fine to just float around like this."

"Old Yi, you're quite easygoing." Liu Miyan smiled somewhat reluctantly; he also didn't like sitting on the magnetic sofa.

"Oh, still worried about pushing forward the New Particle Collider project?" Sensing Liu Miyan's forced smile, Yi Kai immediately realized the reason, but he didn't expect that this matter could make the usually loud-voiced physicist turn into this.

This guy usually calls himself Kai-ge in private.

"That's right, it's been over fifty years, and those guys are still rambling on and on. It's so boring. If we were really at war, we would definitely be driven crazy by their inefficiency." Liu Miyan and directly admitted the reason for his frustration, while also complaining about the efficiency of the conference.

"It's no use telling me. Look at how many times I voted in favor?" Yi Kai ran his hands through his hair from his forehead, accidentally touching something in the office. This caused his already floating body to slowly spin and drift toward the ceiling.

However, Yi Kai didn't care. Only when his head was about to touch the ceiling did he reach out to steady himself and gently tap the ceiling to slowly fall back down.

At the same time, he spoke again, "Thinking about these things is useless. If you ask me, you shouldn't have organized any voting meeting to push this matter forward. But it's no use saying anything now. Alright, don't be depressed. Being depressed won't solve any problems. In my opinion, you should think about how to deal with those guys at the next meeting."

"I know that, but as the old saying goes, my mind isn't clear." Liu Miyan reached out and exerted some force on a device cabinet in the office, turning his floating body upside down so that he wouldn't have to look up at Yi Kai on the ceiling.

Having just turned upside down, Liu Miyan seemed to realize something. "Huh, what did you mean by saying 'you shouldn't have gone to hold any voting meetings to push this matter forward'?"

"Don't you understand the literal meaning?" Yi Kai slowly landed at the same level as Liu Miyan, their eyes meeting.

"Huh?" Liu Miyan, somewhat belatedly realizing what was happening, paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "You mean the Chief of Staff?"

Yi Kai didn't mince words and said directly, "That's right, it's just a matter of one word from him, why are you holding a voting meeting?"

"But."

Yi Kai raised his hand to interrupt Liu Miyan, and continued, "But the Chief of Staff clearly didn't object to you holding a voting meeting to promote these plans, right?"

Seeing that Liu Miyan with some confusion, Yi Kai shook his head and said, "Old Liu, you still don't understand our Chief of Staff. If it were me, I would never hold any voting meeting. I would just go directly to him, and it would definitely be resolved in three years at most."

"Can"

"But the Chief of Staff clearly told you to discuss it at the general meeting, right?"

Seeing Liu squint and nod again, Yi Kai continued, "Discussion is discussion, voting is voting, let's just leave it at that. Speaking of which, our chief of staff has it pretty tough. In my opinion, if it weren't for some recent voices, he probably wouldn't have let you guys hold this kind of wrangling meeting, and it's been going on for over fifty years."

"What's that sound?" Liu Miyan in confusion. He had been focusing his energy on promoting the new Particle Collider project and hadn't had time to listen to other voices in society.

"Some people say that our chief of staff is a local tyrant."

"Who?"

"Whoever shouts the loudest at the meeting, whoever enjoys the most the rights transferred from the Chief of Staff, that's who the beneficiary is. How would I know who it is?"

"This kind of thing"

"Don't worry, our Chief of Staff knows very well that he won't let this internal strife continue. However, we in the scientific community would be better off giving it a push."

"Give them a push?"

"Hey, Old Liu, we at least need to show the scientific community some sincerity, otherwise how can Major General Yue possibly speak up?"

Yi Kai felt that if Liu Miyan were to be sized as a pentagon, his political stat would definitely not exceed thirty.
