Chapter 691 A chance encounter by the lake
"Little brother, yes!" At the end of the meeting that day, Zhang Dada walked out of the conference room and patted Zhao Kang's shoulder excitedly, "Where did you learn all this knowledge?" β
"Although I mainly focus on computers, I usually dabble in a wide range of knowledge, of course, most of the knowledge is only a little understanding." Zhao Kang smiled modestly, "Brother Zhang, do you think this time we can mobilize other countries to voluntarily join the "Glacier Action" plan?" β
"I think there is a high probability of convincing them, because this is an opportunity to re-divide the cake, and no one wants to miss it," Zhang Dada and Zhao Kang walked to a place where there were fewer people, and he whispered, "And after we make the data public, we are not afraid that others will take the information and do it alone, because no country in the world has the ability to go it alone." β
"I see," Zhao Kang nodded, and the two went around the corner of the corridor to their office, while the other members of the foreign missions who attended the meeting left the Dongtan International Conference Center building and returned to the "joint camp" as required.
"Daniel, tell us about the last time you tracked?" An emergency meeting was held as soon as the members of the mission returned to the station, and the head of the mission was a senior leader from the White House. He turned his gaze to the silver-haired middle-aged man, the submarine commander.
A few months ago, a Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine received an order from Warzenton to go to the polar regions to track the research ship "Snow Dragon" from China, and it caught its target in New Γ lsund and has been quietly following it.
Daniel Frederick, the commander of the submarine, nodded to the leader of the mission and began to recount the situation.
"The Chinese had been in Ny-Γ lsund for a while, and they should have split into two teams, one stationed at the research station in the Arctic Village, and the other went somewhere. Now it seems that the team that left the research station should have gone to the Doomsday Seed Bank in Longyearbybyen City, Professor Zhang Dada did not lie, the Chinese had indeed been to the other two places in the three coordinates except for the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean. β
Their research ship left New Γ lsund and traveled along the Norwegian Sea through the Faroe Islands and then through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean. The route to Cairo was via a tributary of the Nile in North Africa, and they spent a lot of time on the outskirts of Cairo City. β
"Do you know what the purpose of Huaguo is to take the initiative to disclose the results of their research on extraterrestrial characters?" The leader of the mission said suddenly, and seeing that everyone else looked puzzled, the leader told some secrets that had not been made public before.
"The Chinese people have to make big moves next, and the 'Glacier Operation' is a huge project, and they can't do it themselves, so they need to pull us along with other countries." The name of the mission leader was Owen Wiesel, and his hair was all gray, unlike the silver-haired submarine commander, who had gray hair because of his age.
"'Operation Glacier'?" Many of the members of the mission heard this name for the first time, and only a very small number of high-level officials in various countries knew about this operation, and they sent a mission to do not disclose the content of this operation, so that the elite of the country could first observe it themselves in Chongming, and finally evaluate the details of the plan together. β
"The Chinese are very interested in our space research project, and they seem to know that going back to the past is not impossible," Owen Wiesel said calmly, "and at the meeting today, that young man named Zhao Kang...... His statement was interesting. β
"He's a hacker," said Martin.
"Really?" Owen Wiesel's eyebrows raised, "I thought he was an expert in quantum physics, so why is there such a talented person in Huaguo." β
"I've fought him a few times, in the Everglades, in Houston."
"Really? What is he capable of? Martin's words added to Irving Wiesel's surprise.
"I can't test the upper limit of his abilities," the bespectacled female doctor said in a calm tone, making it impossible to tell whether she was humble or ashamed.
"It's a pity he's not one of ours," Owen Wiesel nodded with some regret.
"Chairman Wiesel," someone asked, "China doesn't have the relevant scientific and technical support, and now that they have made the cracked data public, can we ..... it?" β
"Alone?" Owen Wiesel smiled, "I'm afraid it's not possible, of course, if it's before the disaster, you can give it a try, but the success rate is very low, I found someone to do a data model, and the results of modeling and analysis are not optimistic at all." β
"Even if we can't do it alone, then this project seems to be very large, no wonder Hua Guoken released data, it turned out to be accurate to this point." It dawned on everyone.
"This is a political game, don't look at it as related to science, it's actually very pure."
"So the only way we can do that is to join Operation Glacier?" Everyone else looked to Irving Wiesel, expecting an answer from the president of the National Science Foundation.
As president of the National Science Foundation, Irving Wiesel is a highly respected scientist in his own right. This science foundation is an independent federal agency of the United States, equivalent to the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and neither is an ordinary non-governmental organization.
After taking office, Irving Wiesel promoted science in the country by funding basic research programs, improving science education, and promoting scientific information and international scientific cooperation. In addition to him, the leadership of the foundation includes a vice president and five assistants to the president, and the rest of the members are appointed by the president of the United States.
"Don't worry, in two days the Chongming government of China will organize us to visit the three islands here, some of which are said to have exceeded the scale of development before the disaster, which ...... To be honest, it's hard to imagine, and I'm looking forward to the surprises that the Chinese people are about to give. β
"Is that an exaggeration?" Some people question the development of China on these three islands that Owen Wiesel just mentioned, these experts and scholars from the United States have a strong sense of self-esteem and self-confidence, and most people do not actually believe that China can surpass the United States.
"I don't know if you've noticed," said Martin suddenly, "when we came here, we entered the mouth of this great river, and there were many ships on the river, and if I had to describe it in one word, I could only think of a word from China, called the carp that crossed the river." β
"Oh, Martin, you're not the right word," laughed Owen Wiesel, "I know you mean a lot of boats, but the crucian carp that crosses the river should mean blindly following the trend." β
Martin's face flushed, she didn't know much about Chinese culture, and she had studied for a while because she was fond of Cai Wenyue, but it was only to the extent that she knew a little. Martin didn't expect Owen Wiesel to understand Chinese culture, and he couldn't help but admire it a little more.
"They do have a lot of boats on the river, and for this shelter in Chongming, Huaguo, the White House intelligence data shows that the population is more than 50,000, but there is no specific real number. Whatever, we'll go out and look around in a few days, and we'll see the three islands, and the truth and falsehood will naturally be clear at a glance. "Owen Wiesel is a realist who is pragmatic in his work and in life.
When night fell, Chen Bin and others began to patrol the camp, and there were more than a dozen missions in the camp, all from different countries and different customs. No, some of the members of the mission from the Giprops gathered in front of the barracks to drink, as they had done in Houston before, but it was winter, and the Jeprops had raised a bonfire to roast potatoes and sausages.
Chen Bin greeted them as he passed by, and he saw a Jeeplos waving at him to call him over for a drink, so he quickly flashed.
The rest of the group was scattered around, the camp was not very large, and it was far from the danger zone, so there was no need to patrol in groups.
Walking to the lake outside the Dongtan International Conference Center, Chen Bin suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"What a coincidence, I actually met you here," Qianying by the lake belonged to a girl Chen Bin knew, she walked towards Chen Bin with a smile, "Have you had dinner?" β
"Guo Lingling, why are you here?" Chen Bin said hello to her, slightly surprised.
"Today's work is over, just come to this lake to sit, I have been staying in Changxing before, rarely go out and walk, it is rare to enjoy such a scenery." Guo Lingling stretched her waist as she spoke, and wanted to stretch her shins, and the delicate curves of her body were suddenly revealed.
"The scenery of this lake next to the Dongtan International Conference Center is really good, and it is not the first and the top three on Chongming Island." Chen Bin nodded, affirming Guo Lingling's evaluation of the lakeside scenery.
"So, there are other places in Chongming that are similar to this?" The girl asked curiously.
"Yes, the island in the middle of the lake in the east of the lake, which is not far from here, and there is another place that I know, which is north of Dongtan, which is a wetland park and used to be a national bird nature reserve."
"Wow, it's a pity I can't see it now."
"You are in Changxing, it's not too far from here, there will be a chance in the future."
"How long has it been since we've seen each other?" Guo Lingling suddenly changed the subject.
"Hmm...... It's been about a year and a half," Chen Bin thought for a while and said, "I remember you came to Songhu when you were a senior, right?" β
"You have such a good memory, I haven't seen you for a year and a half," the girl smiled, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her face, covering her with a blush inexplicably.
"I really didn't expect you to come to Songhu City," Guo Lingling lowered her head as if talking to herself, her eyes fell on her instep, and her two hands seemed to not know where to put them, so they had to clasp them tightly.
Guo Lingling's words reminded Chen Bin of one of the reasons why he came to Songhu in the first place, perhaps because he had pinned his hopes on this relationship at that time to facilitate this move. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, just like the girl in front of him.
"Alone?" The girl finally looked up and asked.
