Chapter 372: Response
The doxxing of the Spark was in full swing, but due to the extremely gentle methods they used, the domestic intelligence agencies did not respond immediately at short notice.
Of course, this does not mean that the authorities are not vigilant.
After all, the plan for Chen Nian's identity after decryption had been formulated several years ago, and so far, hundreds of versions have been iterated.
In the office, Li Xiang sat opposite Chen Nian, and while looking at the latest documents issued by his superiors, he said:
"At the moment, we can feel that the secrecy of the Spark team is declining."
"There's no way around it, it's getting bigger and bigger, it's like a small puddle grows into a big lake, and it's impossible to make sure there are no leaks like before."
"Especially, after the South Island incident, coupled with the launch of 096, the other party seems to have been suddenly woken up."
"They are starting to look away from the confrontation itself and focus on the root causes of the confrontation."
"The feedback from the front line that the other party has begun to initiate an investigation, but the means are relatively mild, and we do not plan to deal with it excessively for the time being, otherwise it will be easier to expose flaws."
"But you also have to be mentally prepared, it is likely that within a period of time, the spark will be exposed."
"And once the Spark is exposed, it's really hard for you to hide your identity again."
Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.
In fact, he had been prepared for this situation for a long time.
There are no secrets in this world that will never be revealed, and it would be better if you were an expert in a certain field.
After all, the range of human contact is relatively narrow, and the environment is closed enough, and the impact caused by technological progress can be gently dissipated.
But the problem is that the scope of my involvement is too wide, and the contact with too many people is also too many.
Even if the official can guarantee the loyalty of everyone, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone will not make mistakes.
As long as there are enough resources and enough drive, it is only a matter of time before a professional intelligence organization wants to find Xinghuo and even find itself.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked:
"And what are you going to do? Direct exposure? ”
Previously, Chen Guo had told Chen Nian that if he faced the problem of identity exposure in the future, the official would guarantee his life safety at any cost, but this was only a solution in extreme cases.
What about extreme cases?
How do you arrange your daily work? How to take advantage of the huge advantages brought by the uniqueness of oneself? Or go further, since it has been exposed, how can Chen Nian's identity be used to further "kidnap" other countries?
In fact, Chen Nian himself once imagined this problem.
Is the identity exposure just to pretend to be forced?
Don't talk about it, pretending to be forced can't bring real benefits, if that's the case, it's the best choice to bite the bullet and deny it.
The real purpose is still in one sentence: to show muscles.
There is a good saying, chasing a woman, you can't spend money on a woman, but you have to spend money to show her.
In an irretrievable situation, it is natural to expose Chen Nian's identity on a large scale, in fact, the internal logic is the same.
Use the certainty of income to attract the largest investment, forcibly shape the technological highland, and then build the economy, politics, and culture. A central bastion in all respects.
But what to do, Chen Nian didn't have too good ideas.
Hearing his question, Li Xiang on the other side smiled and replied:
"How to deal with it To be honest, the plan has been iterated to more than 100 versions, but the definitive strategy has not yet come out."
"However, there is one principle that has not changed, and that is risk mitigation."
"Risk mitigation? How so? ”
Chen Nian asked suspiciously.
"Peel the onion, layer by layer to release your identity information, one identity is almost used, the value is basically squeezed out, the risk is basically released, and then continue to release the next identity information."
“?? Get off the vest? ”
Chen Nian asked with a smile.
"Ah, that's pretty much it."
"Anyway, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, we'll arrange it."
"Especially when it comes to security, you don't have to think about it at all."
"The security measures for you are now very mature and working smoothly."
"As you can see from the fusion conference you went to this time, although it is contactless, the risk is completely controllable."
"Understood."
Chen Nian nodded, after the meeting, he participated in the regular review meeting of the security team, and it was at that time that he really felt how much effort his current "undisturbed" life had cost the security personnel.
As a simple example, the reason why he was able to sit in the café next to the venue and drink coffee with Sebastian without any scruples was because the café had been heavily controlled and censored a month ago.
The two chatted for a few words, Chen Nian casually looked at the date on the calendar, and then suddenly realized a problem:
"Is Wang Jiancheng about to graduate? No, Qiao Mai is also graduating, right? ”
"yes. What's the matter, you haven't been in touch lately? ”
"There is no connection with Qiao Mai to continue to study for a doctorate, I know this, what is Wang Jiancheng going to do?"
"He chattered all day long, and some time ago he told me that he iterated the second version of Bai Ze AI, and then I asked him about the specific situation, and he was all reincarnated, so I didn't bother to take care of him."
Hearing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
"He's like that, you don't know him yet. He didn't reply to him when I looked for him, but I heard him say that he seemed to be planning to start a business. ”
"Changed again? Didn't you say you were going to come to Chengfei? ”
"The devil knows him-—— in fact, to be honest, he is not suitable for any fixed company or research institute, his thinking is too jumpy, and the way of doing things is different from ours."
"You see, normal people's puzzles are all reasoned piece by piece according to the pattern in turn, right? He is different, he thinks of which is which, first according to the panorama in his mind, and then find a way to connect the middle. It's hard to say which organization dares to ask for this kind of person. ”
Chen Nianshen nodded approvingly, and then said:
"Let him toss, he has money anyway."
"When you are young, you have a way out, and it's better to come back after hitting a wall."
"If he is really allowed to find a way out, maybe he will become the Musk of this era."
"Who is Musk?"
Li Xiang asked subconsciously.
Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, and then replied:
"A genius? Merchant? ”
"It doesn't matter, in short, Wang Jiancheng will definitely surpass him."
On the other side, Bloomberg walks on the path inside the Western Institute of Technology.
In fact, he is no stranger to this school, after all, he also personally took away a large number of talents from this school.
However, the current Western University of Technology is not the slightly dilapidated university in his impression at all.
Brand new buildings, well-planned greenery, and statues that have only just been erected.
This also confirms Bloomberg's speculation.
This school must be rich.
Where does their money come from?
If you don't do business, then you can only make an appropriation.
But Bloomberg has no clue about the reason, amount, or source of the grant.
Just the day before, he had read all the policy documents related to the University in recent years, and although they recorded some data on financial allocations, they were rather vague.
Bloomberg secretly slandered the so-called "opacity" of the Chinese side, and was eager to find the BBC to lead a wave of rhythm, demanding that all the funding details of major universities be made public, but it was clear that he could not do so.
The intention is too obvious, and all the people on the line will be defeated, and even if he has this awareness, his colleagues will not be able to participate.
And his authority alone is obviously not enough.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and try his luck in person at the Western University of Technology.
——
It is unrealistic to go directly to the teachers in the school, they are more vigilant than anyone else, and the only opportunity is to contact the current students here first to see if they can get useful clues from their mouths.
His requirements are not high, he doesn't need the other party to say any major scientific research project information, and he doesn't need them to directly reveal any inside information, all he asks for is an impressive name, or some campus legends that circulate among students.
He believes that even these fragmented pieces of information are hinting at an important answer.
He was once very confident in himself, thinking that with his white looks, excellent eloquence and fluency in Chinese, he would definitely attract the attention of a large number of girls, but the truth is that he far underestimated the scientific atmosphere of this school.
Most of the students walking on the road were in a hurry, and they didn't even want to look at him more, even if he used the excuse of asking for directions, most of the answers he got were "go and look at the map yourself".
For an entire afternoon, he wandered around the campus and found nothing.
This disappointed him, and at the same time mentally reassessed the difficulty of the mission.
Giving up is actually an option, after all, he really doesn't need the project that much.
Thinking of this, Bloomberg couldn't help but relax, he had already made up his mind, if he really didn't have that luck, he should come to the old place and visit again today.
——
However, turnarounds often come when the unexpected happens.
Just as he rounded the last corner and returned to the main road, his eyes were suddenly drawn to the bulletin board standing on the side of the road.
The bulletin board was plastered with photos and the latest personnel changes.
Bloomberg instinctively stepped closer and looked at the names of the men one by one.
Underneath the photos of these people are a few sentences of resumes, and at first glance, there is basically no problem.
But it was such a personnel change that suddenly inspired Bloomberg.
——
If the Western Institute of Technology really benefits from the J-22 project, it means that there must be people from this school who participated in the project and played a significant role.
This sounds like nonsense, after all, the university itself has a deep foundation in the aviation field, and it is not surprising that it is involved in key projects.
But the problem is that several other similar universities, taking Beihang University as an example, have far less resources than Western University of Technology.
Isn't that just an obvious clue?
So, my first anchor appeared.
The scope of the search for that mysterious organization was instantly narrowed from various scientific research institutions across the country to the small school of Western University of Technology.
Furthermore, scholars who are eligible to participate in major projects must have a strong technical level and extraordinary qualifications, and such people can be said to be only a handful in a university.
And what he needs to pay attention to is the personnel change information of these people.
Of course, this information must be embellished.
But one thing can be confirmed:
It is not possible for them to teach while the project is going on.
Bloomberg's inspiration kept coming up, and his brain was like a machine that was going to work, and he was quickly deducing the next step-by-step plan.
He walked out of the gate of Xi'an University of Technology quickly, got into a taxi and returned to his office.
And as soon as he saw the assistant, he said:
"Give me information on the personnel changes of all experts and professors in the past 10 years, and I want to know who did not attend classes in the school from 2001 to 2005!"
Hearing his words, the assistant was stunned for a moment, and then immediately threw himself into work.
Relying on the high-end talent profile that had been established long ago, it took less than two hours for him to get the results he wanted.
And this result was much better than he expected.
There are only 3 people who are eligible.
And, two of them, neither of them is strongly related to the J-22 project.
Only one person remains
Chen Guo.
Before 2003, he had published many research results in the direction of turbulence, and was also responsible for teaching related courses.
However, after 2003, his research progress slowed down significantly, and his teaching work was suspended.
According to official information, the change occurred because he was involved in the research work of several public projects, but Bloomberg simply did not believe this.
The reason is simple, he does not believe that such a high-end talent will willingly devote himself to those mediocre projects.
The field of China Express Airlines is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and you, as a leader, are unimpressed?
This is so counterintuitive.
A smile appeared on Bloomberg's face, and he knew that he had found one of those so-called "key points".
At the same time, the other members of the group involved in this massive intelligence-gathering operation have made similar progress.
One name after another was excavated and gradually formed into a large web.
As the intelligence is aggregated, the nodes on this web appear in turn, showing an intricate relationship.
It is undeniable that due to the preparations made by the Chinese side for a rainy day, it will take a lot of time to completely decrypt this net.
But at least, they already have a direction.
As long as they break through any point on the net, the hand holding the big net will appear in front of them.
