NASA (NASA) is an administrative scientific research institution of the US federal government. It is directly under the leadership of the US president in its administrative structure and is generally responsible by the Director.

On July 29, 1958, US President Eisenhower signed the "US Public Act 85-568" and founded NASA.

During the approximately 100 years since its establishment, NASA was the most authoritative space agency on Earth except for the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance).

NASA's Washington Command is the highest management organization and has six strategic affairs departments, namely: the Space Flight Department, the Aerospace Technology Department, the Earth Science Department, the Space Science Department, the Biology and Physical Research Department and the Safety and Mission Assistance Department. Each department is headed by a deputy director.

This time, the original Naichen and Durunik were going to NASA's Washington Command.

............

At five o'clock the next morning, Harashi Chen and Durunik took a special plane arranged by the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific Base to fly directly to Washington, the capital of the United States.

The main reason why the IEA Pacific Base arranged a special plane to send two people to arriving is that it wanted to ensure the safety of the technical information in Yuan Shichen's hands. Yuan Shichen naturally understood this point, otherwise he would not have such a good treatment.

After about 9 hours of flight, the plane arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport at 2 pm.

After leaving the airport, Nakachen and the others took the pickup vehicle arranged in advance to NASA's Washington Command.

At the junction of 3rd Street and E Street in Southwest, Washington, DC, stands a simple-looking 9-story office building. This is NASA's headquarters, where the "brain" of the civil aerospace agency, the largest country on the planet, moves in this building.

NASA's headquarters, which has no "personality", does not have an eye-catching appearance like the White House or the Pentagon. It looks even far less famous than some of NASA's subsidiaries, but it is the perfect operation center of the US aerospace industry.

The pick-up vehicle parked very smoothly in front of the Yingbin Building.

Next to a five-stage staircase, a middle-aged man in formal clothes was standing.

"SHIT, it's different from what I thought. Shouldn't there be a guard of honor to greet us?" Durunik started complaining before he got off the car.

"Welcome to you, you are Dr. Durunik and Dr. Harashi Chen." The middle-aged man had already taken the lead in opening the car door for Harashi Chen and the others.

"Hello, I am Durunik, this is Yuan Shichen." Durunik got out of the car first and introduced while shaking hands with the middle-aged man.

"My name is Robert, I am the deputy director of NASA's public relations office and the liaison officer of the IEA organization at NASA."

"In other words, you are your own person." Durunik asked in surprise.

"Yes, I know the true identities of you. I will cooperate with all your work during your time at NASA." Robert said and pushed his glasses as thick as a glass bottle.

"Thank you, Robert." Hara Shin-chan and Durunik

Under Robert's leadership, Harashi Chen and Durunik first registered their visit in the lobby, and then received a guest sign.

After passing the security gate, they walked into the core office area of ​​NASA's Washington Command.

"May I ask, Robert, how many people at NASA headquarters know the details of the IEA organization?" Yuan Shichen asked while following Robert forward.

"In addition to me, the director and the first deputy director know." Robert replied.

"There are only three people?" Yuan Shichen sighed inwardly. It seemed that he would test his acting skills in the next few days.

"By the way, Robert, how do you feel when you work at NASA?" Durunik asked with interest.

"In recent years, the world's aviation landscape has undergone tremendous changes, and more and more countries and organizations have rapidly improved their scientific power. For example, China. "At this point, Robert glanced at Hatoshi Chen," but I found that NASA people have been obsessed with the illusion of glory in the past and have never realized that NASA is never perfect. An unhealthy culture that is complacent and rejects criticism from the outside world has infected the body of NASA organizations."

"This may be a common problem for all the large-scale institutions and organizations in the world with outstanding achievements." Yuan Shichen sighed in his heart, "I don't know if the IEA organization has these problems."

"We first visit the director of the Space Flight Department, who is the head of all space centers in the NASA architecture." Robert introduced to the two.

While talking, they had already taken the elevator to the fourth floor of NASA's headquarters building.

This time, Nai Chen and Durunik came to participate in an aerospace technology exchange meeting organized by NASA's Space Flight Department under the name of scientists from the International Astronomical Federation.

The exchange meeting is planned to be held the day after tomorrow and will last for a week. According to custom, scientists from various countries and scientific organizations will first visit the organizer's officials.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~" Robert led Yuan Shichen and Durunik to an office on the far left of the fourth floor, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Hello, Thomas." Robert walked into the office first and greeted a blond middle-aged man in the office.

"Hello, Robert, why are you here?" Thomas stood up and showed a huge and round belly.

"These two are scientists from the International Astronomical Federation, and this is Deputy Director Thomas who is in charge of the spaceflight department."

Robert introduced personnel from both sides respectively, but Robert used vest identities when introducing Yuan Shichen and Durunik.

"Welcome to you, scientists from afar." Thomas did not leave his seat, but just glanced back and forth at Yuan Shichen and Durunik, and finally sat down with his huge and round belly.

"I'm very sorry, I'm too busy to continue talking to you. Please help me entertain my friends who have come from afar." Thomas patted the documents and materials on the table with his hand, then shrugged.

"That's a pity. Let's see you at the welcome dinner of the Aerospace Technology Exchange Conference." Robert said helplessly, and then led Yuan Shichen and Durunik out of the office.

"Bull~SHIT, I'm so arrogant. Is this deputy director even busier than the president?" He came out in shame before he could even say a word. This incident angered Durunik.

"Does Thomas know about the exchange of technical information?" Yuan Shichen asked while walking.

"I must know, because the information on the Mars II Mars landing program is managed by the Space Flight Department. Moreover, Thomas is the first deputy director who knows your true identity. His performance is indeed unreasonable." Robert was puzzled and said with confusion.

"Take a move to get." Yuan Shichen seemed to see through NASA's tricks.

Through the performance of Dean Watt before leaving, the base sent a special plane to send them. Yuan Shichen concluded that the information provided by the IEA organization must be of very high value, so NASA cannot ignore this technical information.

"Gentlemen, I'll take you to the hotel you are staying at first." Robert, who was walking in front, turned around and suggested to Harashi Chen and Durunik.

"Okay, let's see the specific situation during the dinner." Yuan Shichen nodded and replied.
