Chapter 1224 - An Ant Nest From Three Billion Years Ago (1/2)
A man walked to him.
“It’s the view beautiful?”
Jiang Chen turned his head and raised his eyebrows after he saw the man. Then, he smiled and said, “Oh it’s you, what a coincidence”.
Wu Changfeng smiled and said in a sly tone. “Because of work, I have to travel between Shangjing and Celestial City. I have had to spend at least a week in the space elevator this month.”
Jiang Chen chuckled and started chatting.
“Oh, is that medicine effective?”
“…I did become younger.” Wu Changfeng nodded and said emotionally, “Your technical capability is astounding. Maybe after another ten years, the world will yearn for the citizenship of your country.”
“Haha, you’re exaggerating.” Jiang Chen laughed.
It was indeed an over-exaggeration.
Even now, Xin citizenship was coveted by many around the world. In his next term, President Zhang Yaping would gradually tighten the immigration policy.
“Right, I brought a few questions from my country. I don’t know if Mr. Jiang can shed me some light?”
“Oh?” Jiang Chen asked. “What questions?”
“I heard that the project you’re carrying out in the Martian colony is… related to extraterrestrial civilization?”
“That is a rumor. All projects involving extraterrestrial civilization will be made public to the primary members of the Earth Defense Alliance and a vote must take place to device whether the information is disclosed to the secondary member states,” Jiang Chen immediately said righteously.
Wu Changfeng processed the information and laughed.
“Mr. Jiang misunderstood, I have no other intention than clarifying…”
After the space elevator arrived, Jiang Chen and Wu Changfeng bid farewell before Jiang Chen took the express train to the Space Department of Celestial Trade.
Wu Changfeng’s words made Jiang Chen ponder while he was inside the train.
Project 071 is closely linked to strong interaction materials and is one of the most confidential secrets of Celestial Trade. It is reasonable to say that no information from the project can be leaked. However, it seems that people have gotten wind of the project.
He did not think Major General Wu would have just casually asked him that question.
The major general did not come from a simple background. While he was from the Army, he came from the renowned General Staff Department Division Two. The name General Staff Department was not unfamiliar with Jiang Chen as it served as the intelligence of Hua’s Army. Its presence was seen in everything from internal affairs to foreign affairs, not only powerful but also comprehensive.
However, from Wu Changfeng’s tone, they seemed to have indeed gained some information, but they could not verify the accuracy…
“Even Hua heard some information. Then, the Russians must also be aware of this. Is it through the transportation ship’s supplies? Or something else…”
Just as Jiang Chen was internalizing this thought, the train had arrived.
Putting this problem aside, under the escort of soldiers, Jiang Chen walked out and headed to the Space Department.
…
In the conference room of the Space Command Center, the relevant members of Project 071 were already sitting around the table.
