Chapter 321: The Island is Suspicious

"Well, as the scientific committee of the alliance, the ecological base of the long-term aerospace project, Siqifushima has been filed in the project application of the Science and Technology Committee of the capital of Qilian and the approval file of the Jianxian Municipal Government." Ms. Andrew turned on the holographic projection in her office, revealing pages of documents in front of her and Robert.

"The application procedures are legal, the review process is reasonable, the project approval is valid, and there is no fault with the appearance." She flicked her fingers in the air.

"But he shouldn't be in charge of Lantis, right?" Robert had already made up his mind from the beginning when he heard Andrew mention the Science and Technology Committee of the Alliance.

"That's just one aspect." Andrew nodded. "It is not unprecedented, for the NDC and its departments to work together on a large-scale project. But that was only in the improvement of the colony's own equipment, or testing of the relative safety of the new technology. In the case of any research related to humanity itself, from the point of view of the rigor of the right to approve, the Office of the President of the Development Committee or the Scientific and Technological Committee has to ask for and finally sign off. ”

"And there's not a single signature ...... worth noting," Robert said, flipping through the holograms in mid-air.

"I've checked the island, and there are about 30,000 inhabitants, and all of them are on the test list for the project." Andrew switches the screen, and a list of rosters appears on the screen. "For a project of this magnitude that the deputy director of the Comprehensive Planning Bureau of the Development Committee is personally responsible for, I can't find Skaya's warrant, or the chairman of the Science and Technology Committee, Dale. Branston's, or their executive vice chairman, Chi Haomiao. ”

"So who signed these project applications?" Robert wondered.

"Guess." Andrew smiled at a dazed Robert and looked up at the ceiling......

"Our Director?" That Dennis is always a good old man. Morgan! The Comprehensive Planning Bureau has opened a secret project in Chilian Jianxian City? And both top leaders are involved? Robert gasped.

"The director has become the acting chairman, and from the current point of view, the project is fully compliant." Andrew couldn't help but laugh.

"A test of a long-term human space program...... In today's world, where many galaxies have a large number of stargates? Morgan: What the hell are they trying to do? Robert mused.

"Maybe you want to continue exploring galaxies that don't have gates?"

"Impossible." Robert immediately shook his head and denied anyone's assumptions. "The origin of the stargate is not clear, but it has been proven that it is not a widespread natural phenomenon, and all galaxies that have stargates have obvious traces of selection. Only those galaxies with single stars, no life, or no resources available do not have stargates, which has been studied by the celestial community for many years. It is impossible to obtain funding and recognition by spending countless human and financial resources to go to a galaxy that has been determined to be worthless. "They were under the guise of a purpose, and the purpose might be to do some kind of ulterior experiment in social transformation, as Jonny said, Robert couldn't help but think to himself.

"That's exactly what I'm anxious to know in this investigation." Andrew nodded, opened the drawer and tried to get a cigarette, but Robert's cough lost the courage to continue hurting herself, she closed the drawer and pulled up another document on the holographic screen.

"This shows that the project is funded by 'private fundraising'...... They did not receive any government grants, but they paid every resident of the island a high amount of money to compensate for the inconvenience caused by the project. She pulled up one of the details.

"50,000 kroner per person per month?" Robert was taken aback, which was a lot of money for the townspeople of Chilian.

"And that's just the basic allowance, the related food compensation, medical compensation, living allowance and the operating funds of the project itself, which is 2 billion crowns per month." She smiled.

"How can such a huge amount of investment not attract attention? That doesn't make sense, Betis. Robert wondered.

"It's unreasonable, it stands to reason that in the long run, the Finance Commission's Tax Administration Department and the Financial Supervisory Authority will be able to sniff out the clues, and as soon as they intervene, the Security Committee will follow. However, the warning period they set in the Qilian financial community was half a standard year, and this huge amount of money was returned in full after only three odd months......"

"Return?" Robert was surprised. "They didn't pay compensation to the islanders?"

"It must have been issued, and there are tens of thousands of electronic receipts to prove it, but judging from the state of their funds withdrawn, they obviously used some method to 'want' these compensation payments back!" Andrew crossed his arms and fixed his eyes on Robert.

"Brainwashing......" Robert said the word that kept flipping in his head, and Andrew nodded slowly.

"This is undoubtedly a good way to take advantage of the money, they tempt the greed of the islanders, get them to sign the test consent form, and then turn them into puppets, and then successfully recover the money spent." Andrew analyzed heavily.

"These materials, Betis, they can't be put there for anyone to see......" Robert pointed to the holographic documents.

"The financial situation, the goods in and out, these are all related to third parties, and as a government project, it is natural to have relevant supporting data for easy archiving. Of course, these could be faked if they had to, but they apparently didn't. She began to smile at her friend.

"Of course, this information is well hidden, and it is only about indexes in the highest review authority of the Development Committee. They were so confident, I don't think they expected that someone with the authority would go out of their way to look into all of this. I'm just assuming that the files are right there, and with a few little tricks of scoping and defining words, filtering and filtering, they can jump out of the sea of data and onto the screen. ”

"But neither Dennis. Morgan or Freud. None of Lantis could have owned the money in the first place. Robert frowned and questioned again. Such a large amount, even if it is a temporary investment, must be a government department with a huge capital reserve...... Or ......"
