As a clerk at the North American Embassy in Xinghan, Raul's job is actually very easy.
Because Mars and Earth are far apart, although Xinghan has now opened regular flights between Earth and Mars, there will be a flight between Earth and Mars every month, which greatly deepens the relationship between Earth and Mars.
Connections between Mars.
But this flight between the Earth and Mars is, after all, the first interstellar flight in the solar system, and the distance between Mars and the Earth is constantly changing.
It's better when it's close, but when it's far away, the journey is very far. Naturally, not only does it take a lot of time to travel, but more importantly, the ticket for this flight is very expensive.
Even when the distance between Mars and the moon was the shortest, a round-trip flight ticket cost one million star coins, which was equivalent to tens of millions of Chinese dollars, making it extremely expensive.
If you travel when the distance between Mars and the moon is the furthest, the ticket price for this trip may be ten times higher and the time spent will be even longer.
After all, it is another planet, and it is very inconvenient to travel between them. In addition, the tickets are expensive, so generally those who can travel between the two planets are wealthy people doing business or traveling at public expense.
In addition, Xinghan has always been very strict about visas and has many requirements, so there are fewer people coming to Mars, and there are fewer people coming and going, so naturally there are fewer things like this.
So Raul is basically in a state of leisure. He plays around Mars every day, makes friends, writes diaries, and analyzes and researches the news on Xinghan, so as to know that some Xinghan has not disclosed to the outside world.
Announced news.
"It's been a little unusual here in Xinghan recently. Qin Yi is either inspecting Xinghan's interstellar space force, or inspecting Xinghan's spaceships and space fighter manufacturing factories. The proportion of the military budget is also constantly increasing."
"Are the Martians going to attack the Earth?"
Raul carefully studied all aspects of Xinghan's news. As a qualified diplomatic staff, collecting intelligence is also one of his tasks.
He used to do the same job here on Earth, and he did it very well. He obtained a lot of information through bribery.
But it's different here in Xinghan. The people of Xinghan have a very high standard of living. They don't want to immigrate to Earth, and they don't lack your money, so it's hard to be bribed.
What's more, to bribe the Xinghan people, they also need to use star coins. They are very short of these star coins themselves, so how can they have extra money to buy people.
Coupled with the inconvenience of travel, everyone who came to Xinghan was basically monitored. This blond and blue-eyed man was so conspicuous that he attracted attention wherever he went.
As for sending Asians to sneak in, I'm sorry, Xinghan won't grant a visa at all, so there's no way to come. It's not easy to spy on Xinghan's information.
Therefore, his main method of obtaining information and intelligence is to read the news, read newspapers, browse the information and content in the virtual world, and combine it with many official information released by Xinghan to conduct comprehensive analysis and inference, and then know some things that Xinghan has not announced.
information.
"Impossible, there is no need for Xinghan to attack the Earth at all. They have a sparse population, rich resources, a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and advanced technology. Attacking the Earth will not bring any benefit to them at all."
"On the contrary, the large population on the Earth's side will become a drag on them. Qin Yi finally came out of the Earth's side, and he will definitely not go to the Earth's muddy waters again."
Soon, Raul rejected his own setup.
Regarding Qin Yi and Xinghan, people on the Earth side have already studied it and analyzed it very thoroughly. It is very clear that Xinghan has no interest in the Earth at all.
Perhaps his only interest is to continuously attract immigrants from China. As for other things, he really has no intention.
"So what happened?"
Raul fell into deep thought, constantly recalling the information he had learned in his mind.
"The number of conscripts in Xinghan is expanding, and the scale of conscription has been continuously expanding in the past few years. Now the standing number has exceeded 500,000."
"Based on the situation on Xinghan's side, there is no need to maintain such a large scale. They do not have any external threats at all."
"Also, Xinghan's military factory is also expanding again and again. It seems that it is constantly expanding its production capacity. Yanran looks like she is preparing for war, and she often conducts drills and confrontations to prepare for war."
"This is definitely preparing for war, it can't be wrong."
Raul is very confident in his own judgment. In many cases, the source of intelligence does not need to be probed. He only needs to analyze the information from all aspects to clearly understand the trend.
Many signs on the Martian side have shown that they are preparing for a war, and the scale of this war will definitely not be small, it will be a huge war.
"Since we are preparing for war, but it is absolutely impossible to attack the earth, then why is this Xinghan preparing?"
Raul stood up and walked back and forth, also lost in thought.
But Raul could never come up with a reasonable explanation. It was really abnormal.
For many days, Raul tried to solve the doubts in his heart from all aspects, but he had to be very cautious.
Here on Mars, he is very conspicuous and is the center of attention no matter where he goes, so he can only test it very carefully in order to extract some useful information.
He is very aware of the laws on Mars. Once Xinghan is considered to have violated Xinghan's safety, there is no way he can return to Earth alive.
In the past, they sent many people to spy on Xinghan's information through some special means, but in the end, they were all left unceremoniously on Mars forever by Xinghan.
Even though he tried various ways to plead for mercy, and even promised many benefits, etc., Xinghan remained unmoved and even directly threatened to sever contact with him.
From then on, Raul and the others knew clearly that Mars was Mars, which was different from the Earth. If they were honest, they could still be friends. If they had different intentions, they wouldn't even be friends.
However, no matter how hard Raul tried, he could never find a reasonable explanation. He could not figure out exactly what the Martians wanted to do?
In the evening, Raul stayed in front of the TV on time.
Although with the development of the virtual world, television, movies, etc. have fallen behind slightly, they are still necessary for every household. Of course, any major news from Xinghan official side will be officially announced in Mars News
When it comes out, it will also be announced on Xinghan’s official website.
Xinghan advocates fairness, justice, and openness. Most of the information is open to everyone, so in many cases, a large amount of information and intelligence can be obtained without the need for prying.
"Recently, according to information released by the National Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy, there may be more than one black hole in the Milky Way. Scientists speculate that there should also be black holes on each cantilever of the Milky Way. Such small black holes can be called stable black holes."
"The diameter of the Milky Way is one hundred thousand light years, and everything is dominated by the central black hole. However, scientists have long ago discovered that the Milky Way cannot be so stable if it relies solely on the core black hole. Therefore, they also boldly speculated that in various cantilevers or other parts of the Milky Way,
There are also small black holes in the region. It is precisely because of the existence of these small black holes that the Milky Way can be more stable."
As always, the news on Xinghan has few reports with unscientific content, which is also something Raul focuses on.
Xinghan's science and technology is very advanced, and its technological development level is far ahead of that of the earth. This is why every region on the earth wants to establish friendly relations with Xinghan.
Because only by establishing a friendly relationship can we negotiate with Xinghan on scientific and technological exchanges, cultural exchanges, sending overseas students, etc. Only then can we learn the advanced technology of Mars.
It's just that Xinghan has always maintained the highest level of confidentiality regarding scientific and technological content. As for scientific and technological exchanges and cultural exchanges, it has never dared to be interested, or in other words, it is not willing to engage in scientific and technological exchanges with the Earth.
As for sending overseas students, Raul has submitted applications to Xinghan countless times, but has always been rejected.
What he learned about the development of science and technology on Mars from bits and pieces also allowed Raoer to know that the speed of technological development on Mars was beyond imagination. No one knew how terrifying the technology on Mars had reached.
I just know that the most talked about thing on Mars right now is the starry sky universe.
"Wait~"
"Starry sky, universe, galaxy, black hole~"
Watching, watching the news reports, Raul suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and seemed to realize something immediately. Then he widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "No way, how many years have passed, this
Are the Martians going to conquer the stars and the sea?"
