Chapter 501 (1/2)

CIA headquarters, Virginia.

In the spacious director's office, a middle-aged white man was leaning against a computer chair, staring at the documents in his hand with a locked eyebrow.

”Space program? What kind of calculations is this futurist group trying to do? ” Leaning against her desk, Naomi couldn't help but stare at the papers in her hand.

Because of the heavy losses caused by the spy operation in China some time ago, John Brennan, the former director of the CIA, finally resigned due to the pressure of public opinion. Only then did Naomi maden get a chance to rise to the top. Although for various reasons, the authorities have adjusted the strategy for the future group, but the name of Jiang Chen has always been on the list of CIA's key concerns.

From the overthrow of the former Panu regime, to the fishing boat incident in the Philippines, to the recently in full swing immersive virtual reality technology, and the deep-sea mining technology that has caused a topic in the mining industry Behind this series of hot events, we can see the name of the man. More intelligence shows that Jiang Chen is probably the mastermind behind the Philippine civil war, but because there is no evidence, CIA can not do anything to them.

Intuition tells Naomi that this guy is a dangerous person. It is not because of his existence that endangers the national interests of the United States, but because of his ability to always create miracles. There are so many mysteries in him that he reminds him of a long dusty document

”I don't know. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they have now spent $5 billion to buy all the shares of two private aerospace technology companies in China, which are on the verge of bankruptcy, and hold a board meeting. The two companies will be reorganized and merged, incorporated into the space program department of star ring trading company, and relocated to new China. ” Standing next to the man behind his hands, the detective spoke slowly.

”Customs?” Naomi did not look away from the document.

”11 pieces of equipment in the assets of the two space technology companies are listed in the export restricted items. Instead of going through customs, they sold the equipment to SpaceX at a low price. It seems that they don't want the equipment at all, just the technicians. ”

Naomi sneered.

”Oh? Do they think that they just need to get a bunch of MIT graduates to go through, and they can create rockets from scratch? ”

Without that industrial production capacity, it's impossible to make a screw on a rocket. This is not a problem that a few scientists can solve in the past. The more high-end industries. The higher the requirements for the industrial base.

It often takes decades to build this industrial base.

”I don't know, just like we don't know where they got that deep-sea mining equipment.” The detective shrugged.

Naomi fell silent.

Although he is not a technician, he was born in science and has some understanding of the problems of deep-sea mining. First of all, there is a problem of materials. Few materials can withstand the pressure of 7000 meters water depth for a long time, not to mention mining under this terrible pressure.

Now it's virtual reality. Then deep-sea mining, and now they're reaching out to space, as if they've been laying out cutting-edge fields regardless of cost. Cutting edge means risk, but by contrast, it also means high returns.

There is almost a consensus among Wall Street investors that the majority shareholder of futuren group is a thorough gambler and a gambler who is not stingy with his chips.

”Is there any way to find out where their technology comes from?” Naomi asked in a deep voice.

”I've been arranging people to do this job, but it hasn't worked so far.” The detective's face showed a helpless expression. ”At the moment, we can only speculate that they have a secret Institute, which may be underground or hidden somewhere in the new country under the guise of some other institution. It has to be said that although they have done some informal work in intelligence work, they are only discreet in their secrecy work. Can I apply for additional staff to Singapore? ”
