Presidential palace.

John twisted his facial features the whole time to read the report in his hand, pinched his chin and turned to the front again, and then returned to the last page.

After looking at it many times, he raised his eyebrows and asked Claire and Sullivan, who also had wonderful faces:

"Chinese...... Got in collusion with the aliens and got their technical assistance?! ”

John's fingers were placed on his lips, his eyes were out of focus, and his brain went into a brief state of shutdown.

If he previously thought that David Usno was a mystic with delusions of murder and a UFO maniac, now he really wanted to question his mental state.

Because he actually swore that he issued a report, stating that the Chinese people not only knew that they were investigating aliens, but actually had contact with aliens for a long time.

What's even more outrageous is that according to him, XAP is a product launched by agents of alien civilizations, and it can develop rapidly at an unreasonable speed, and its founder, Lin Ju, is either an alien in disguise or an intermediary liaison.

In John's view, this is no longer a problem of aliens, but a problem of the spread of crisis doctrine in the entire Thirteenth Office, because this report is also signed by the entire Thirteenth Office.

In other words, the 13th Office, which includes more than 30 scientific elites and more than 60 think tank experts, agrees with this judgment to a certain extent.

However, this is also the report that does not say anything, and finally puts the probability at between 45% and 65%, but this is almost a fact for intelligence work.

This astonishing report went through a team of staff before it was submitted, but they still had it on the table.

John now suspects that he is living in a dream, and tries to tear apart the two illusions in front of him with his sharp eyes.

"President, David's judgment...... It is indeed an exaggeration, but it is not without basis. ”

Sullivan apparently didn't quite believe in the conclusion that XAP was an alien lackey, but he had his own ideas:

"Before making this conclusion, the 13th Office asked the Hexagon to cooperate in the compilation of relevant intelligence materials for the past three years, and indeed found a lot of problems.

We conducted a detailed investigation of XAP's technology development and financial flows, and identified two of the biggest suspicions:

First, a large number of high-end, systematic technologies are of unknown origin, and the secrecy work is excellent while bringing together a large number of talents in a short period of time, and the intelligence bureau has sent six batches of 17 spies in a row in the past three years, but as soon as they entered, they were never heard from.

It is already difficult for us to train excellent Chinese agents, almost all of them are elites, and as for the bribery, it has no effect at all, even the lowest employees will categorically refuse, XAP is simply an information black hole, and any means of espionage are ineffective.

Information intrusions were also repeatedly blocked, and at first we couldn't break into the firewall at all, only to find out later that they used separate hardware systems and ternary internal networks, which in principle disable hackers and physical backdoors.

Second, XAP is too closely related to their government, and the government continues to inject huge amounts of money into them through various channels, which the think tank thinks may be because of some hidden projects, but the scale of those funds is also too large, more than $15 billion!

With an infusion of more than $15 billion for some shady purpose, the Artemis program had not been spent so much in the first few years!

Whether or not it has anything to do with aliens, what a huge conspiracy they are hiding! ”

"$15 billion?!"

It was also the first time John had heard such a clear figure, and his entire net worth as a wealthy man was just over $3 billion, most of which was still based on stocks.

It's hard to imagine how much the $15 billion actually injected into manufacturing can do, let alone in China, where the $15 billion could play the equivalent of $20 billion.

If there's so much money coming into XAP quietly, then they're brewing something terrible?!

"And this number continues to increase, and our internal line has brought out some news, and the proportion of military spending will increase again in the next two years, and at the same time, the upper echelons of the General Armament Department are moving very much, so there should be some big secret."

Sullivan calmly finished his reasoning, and Claire immediately picked up:

"Their deep space exploration plan has also been clarified, and it will be officially announced about two days after tomorrow, with six projects launched at the same time, four probes of the same batch, a spacecraft of the same level as 'Chapter 9', and a nuclear-powered space shuttle.

Mr. President, what do you see? ”

John, who was still thinking about $15 billion, looked up and thought for a moment, then replied:

"It seems...... There's a kind of eagerness, um...... The feeling of doing it to the extreme in one breath and playing all the hole cards. ”

"That's it, they're going to have the space shuttle go on missions to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, it's not normal, it's like they have to do it for some reason, even if it's a big waste of resources."

In Claire's view, the nuclear-powered space shuttle is clearly designed for the Earth-Moon system, just in time for the huge lunar development program, and it is not impossible to carry out deep space missions, but the meaning of catching ducks on the shelves is too strong.

His words and Sullivan's words lingered in John's mind, and after a while he suddenly asked:

"Is the 'typhoon' going to explore Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn?"

"To be precise, its final destination is Saturn, and the inside news that flows out is that they are preparing to arrive at Saturn in a year, so it is impossible to slow down halfway, so Mars and Jupiter just take a closer look, drop a probe and leave."

"Then I can think that XAP is aimed at Saturn."

"Maybe ......"

"We need to get to the point, and although NACA has also proposed a deep space plan, it has rushed to complete a series of missions before we have actually acted...... Only the Coalition has the possibility of doing this, and they won't.

Jack said a lot, that there was something wrong with XAP, and there was a big problem, even if it had nothing to do with aliens - and even I now somewhat believe that they had something to do with aliens.

We're going to focus on what XAP is going to do, not to stop it, but to see what they want to do, and I think the 'Fifth Man' event is also related to them, and developing the moon isn't just as simple as we see. ”

John keenly grasped the point in a jumble of information, and if the ambiguity of the M incident was 100, the XAP could at least be counted as 70, and the Intelligence Bureau and the Think Tank had not encountered such a thing very often.

As for David's report...... Well, I'm not going to say anything about it for now, but let them follow up on the investigation and uncover as many secrets as possible, we can do more with our adversaries on Earth than with aliens. ”
