Every day is one step closer to reality

Behind every great project there are always sacrifices.

The Butterfly Project team is actually very helpless.

There is indeed an unknown variable that has been giving them headaches for a long time.

Many ocean-going experiments have been conducted, but there has been no progress in exploring this variable.

Because of this, further and new experimental research is needed to use more data to solve the problem and find opportunities for cracking.

The terrain along the coast, water vapor environment, monsoon, sea temperature, wind shear and other factors will help them further develop the project and improve their meteorological weapons.

There is always a need to take this step.

The coast of the land plate, the developed urban construction and the huge population size do require careful consideration, but making this decision has been carefully considered and debated by the project team and committee.

The project team urgently needs more experiments in different environments to solve the problem, so that they may have a chance to decipher the unknown variables.

Otherwise, the project may stay in place forever.

Or, it might take longer to crack.

But, how many people are willing to wait?

Even if the people on the project team are willing, are the super corporations, plutocrats, and complex political systems behind this great global plan willing to wait?

After comprehensive consideration, they decided to suppress the issue of unknown variables first to avoid causing panic and fierce opposition.

Therefore, only the core members of the project and representatives from various countries on the joint committee knew about the issue of "unknown variables", and even some investors were not informed.

Unexpectedly, Yue Gengyang would suddenly mention it on this occasion!

This has to make people wonder: Is there a traitor among us? !

Who leaked the secret? !

Who is it? !

Many of the guests sitting here have companies and assets in coastal cities, and have many things that are difficult to let go of.

I chose to agree because I thought that since the project team said it was safe and controllable, and the joint committee also had a tendency, it meant that the safety factor was still relatively high.

Even if there is a loss, it won't be much.

Compared to the benefits they get from this project, overall the pros outweigh the cons, certainly support.

But if the fact is that security is unknown and uncontrollable, then you have to think twice.

Moreover, because of Yue Gengyang's sudden slap in the face, the credibility of the spokesperson's previous answers was doubtful.

Those who had already voted and voted in favor looked regretful.

The spokesperson looked at the project director sitting next to him.

The man closed his eyes and made a gesture.

The spokesman had no choice but to continue.

"How did you know about this?" the spokesman asked.

"It was just a guess, a casual question. But your reactions told me the answer, and my guess came true." Yue Gengyang said.

Almost no one present would believe his answer.

Yue Gengyang didn't care what others thought. He continued: "Many people present know that the headquarters of our ancestor factory is close to the sea. It is very common to encounter typhoons. However, if uncontrollable extreme weather occurs, my What happens to the company? What happens to my employees?”

Yue Gengyang looked forward: "So, please allow me to ask again, can you ensure that this variable will not produce serious and uncontrollable reverse results?"

The person on the stage in front replied: "This is just like your ancestor factory conducting clinical trials. We guarantee that if an emergency occurs, we will handle it quickly and do our best!"

The authorized spokesperson continued: "It needs to be explained here that the probability of unknown variables causing reverse results is very low, and we have not encountered it so far in our experiments."

The spokesperson looked sincere and serious: "Great projects always face many difficulties. I think everyone here can understand..."

The emotions of the people on the podium were very contagious, ranging from the great projects creating history to the extreme crises and struggles during the abnormal climate period.

But doubt has already taken root in people's hearts.

The number of voters continued to rise, but many of those who pressed the voting machine voted [no].

Someone looked at Yue Gengyang's vote. Sure enough, just like Yue Gengyang's question, it was also "Objection". His words and deeds were consistent. He was not the kind of person like Raymond who questioned and worried on the surface but voted in favor.

In the end, the voting ended, with support and opposition each accounting for 50%, and a second voting session had to be added.

Because of the tight schedule of this trip, the Joint Committee decided to hold a second vote the next day.

After the first voting meeting, Feng Yi and the others were not able to leave immediately.

The Ancestral Factory is not a small company. Yue Gengyang suddenly came to the venue, and the couple was pulled to talk.

Some people want to test and want to know if Yue Gengyang and his wife know some top-secret information.

Some really want to talk to Yue Gengyang about today’s problems and how to invest tomorrow?

By the time we left the venue, it was already more than an hour later.

On the way back to their residence from the venue, they also met Andre.

"Hey Yue!"

Andre stopped Yue Gengyang.

"I voted [no] with you today! Oh, it's incredible, they actually concealed the problem of unknown variables! It's really infuriating!"

Yue Gengyang nodded and did not continue following the other person's words. He just said: "Then what?"

"Then um, I will vote [support] tomorrow."

Andre shook his head and said:

"Sorry, Yue. I also want to be on the same side as you, but someone just came to me and made some, um, you know, transactions."

Rapid advancement can bring huge profits to many people, so how can it be delayed due to low-probability speculation that has not yet happened?

At this time, even if the project team wants to stop, someone will push it forward.

After all, things on the project have been moving in a good direction, and the "unknown variables" have not caused huge losses.

"But I do worry about unknown variables. It's really distressing. After I go back, I have to transfer assets in certain places to safer places." Andre muttered.

After looking at Yue Gengyang, Andre couldn't help but feel curious like a cat scratching his heart. He asked:

"To be honest, I don't quite understand your choice."

From the perspective of the Ancestral Factory, if they choose [Support], if the project goes well, they can get some benefits of "correct positioning". If the project does not go smoothly and the unknown variables really cause reverse results, the ancestral factory of medicine can make more money.

"Why?" Andre asked. Why make bad choices?

Yue Gengyang spread his hands.

Andre curled his lips: "I understand, you always have to face many forced choices in life."

Yue Gengyang smiled and said: "No, it is a voluntary and willing choice."

Andre was confused, but he also knew that Yue Gengyang would not explain.

After a moment of silence, Andre rarely had a playful smile or a nervous irritability, and his tone was a little serious:

"As an old friend, I still want to remind you. Yue, be careful!"

Andre left with his team, leaving behind some information.

When I returned to my residence, there were only three people, Yue Gengyang, Ji Fan and Feng Yi in the room, and no one else was there.

"Obviously, the result of the second voting meeting has been decided, and tomorrow, there will be more people [supporting] it."

Yue Gengyang looked at Feng Yi worriedly.

He actually didn't care much about the voting results, he was just worried about Feng Yi's mood.

Ji Fan came from the window and sat down at the table, pouring Feng Yi a cup of warm tea.

"There are a lot of people walking around the base today, and some will come over soon to talk."

The base has released some permissions tonight to allow guests to interact with each other, but the time is limited.

Some guests expressed dissatisfaction and accused the base of severely restricting personal freedom. But there is no way, the base has base rules. Fortunately, you can leave after the voting meeting is over.

Ji Fan just saw from the window that people were frequently moving between the buildings.

And the side that caused all this will definitely face more pressure in the future.

Feng Yi remained silent. It was not that he felt depressed. Although he was a little bit depressed, he was mentally prepared and it was not a shock.

He was thinking about what to do next.

Energy matter has two sides. If it is used properly, it is indeed a good thing, but once it gets out of control, even Feng Yi cannot stop it.

Perhaps the strong ancestors long ago could compete, but now, with limited development, he is beyond his capabilities.

Feng Yi did not regret exposing the problem of "unknown variables", but after exposing it, the way he dealt with it had to change.

Feng Yi had already sensed how much pressure Yue Gengyang would face from what he said at the venue today.

This kind of pressure is not only psychological, nor just commercial, it may also threaten the life of Yue Gengyang, who is often traveling outside.

Andre's last words made Feng Yi very concerned.

Yue Gengyang and Ji Fan cannot be allowed to face those hidden crises, and I cannot hide behind them all the time.

Now that the outcome of the second vote is foreseeable, let's change the amount of pressure exerted by all parties.

Feng Yi took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said to Xiao Geng and Xiao Ji at the table:

"I will take care of the questions at tomorrow's voting meeting."

Yue Gengyang and Ji Fan looked at Feng Yi sharply.

The point is not the question, but the meaning of this action!

This means that Feng Yi, the highest decision-maker of the Ancestral Factory who was hiding behind the scenes, decided to stand up!

Yue Gengyang quickly figured out the reason why Feng Yi made this decision.

move!

I was indeed moved, but rationally analyzing it, it was unwise for Feng Yi to expose his identity at this time.

Yue Gengyang expressed his worries.

Feng Yi smiled: "I have been mentally prepared since I decided to participate in the actual combat drill. It was not impulsive."

Feng Yi is no longer as unable to control his body changes as he was at first. He has passed the dangerous period of being easily exposed, and it will be a long time before the next molt. He can face doubts from all sides calmly.

With the current influence of the Ancestral Factory and the way Yue Gengyang handled this matter today, people who are familiar with him will guess that there is something hidden. This choice does not seem to be made by a shrewd businessman like Yue Gengyang.

Feng Yi said: "The person who made the choice [against] in the voting meeting should be someone like me - young, willful, impulsive, and the 'naïve' and stubborn young expert of the Federal Security Bureau."

Is it unexpected that such a person would make such a choice in such a matter?

Not surprising.

Seems more reasonable.

In the eyes of others, Andre is still a freak and a lunatic, and nothing he does is surprising. It was much more reasonable for Feng Yi, a passionate young man, to make this choice.

Not long after, someone came looking for me.

Some came to discuss with Yue Gengyang and his wife, and some came to Feng Yi.

The person who was talking to Feng Yi was a member of a department that interfaced with the Joint Security Bureau and the Butterfly Project team. He was about forty years old and seemed relatively friendly.

However, Feng Yi knew that the more friendly the people from the Joint Security Bureau seemed on the surface, the more difficult they were to deal with. So he didn't plan to have a deep conversation with this person.

In the room, there were only Feng Yi and the other party.

The visitor smiled kindly: "I have heard a lot about you before the exercise. I have worked with Director He, and Director He has shown high praise and expectations for you."

Because of his busy schedule, he didn't pay much attention to things other than the project. He knew Feng Yi when he was preparing for the actual combat exercise. He heard his colleagues talk about the variety show "Survivor" and learned a lot about Feng Yi.

He heard that Feng Yi had given support in the first episode of "Survivor" and his cousin was also one of the guests on the show.

"I always thought you supported Project Butterfly," he said.

"I am indeed." Feng Yi said.

"But Mr. Yue doesn't seem to agree."

"You want me to persuade you?"

"May I?"

"Sorry, that can't be done."

"Why?"

"Because I am the one who makes the decision." Feng Yi said.

The visitor was stunned for a moment, a little confused, as if he didn't hear clearly: "...what do you mean?"

Feng Yi smiled lightly and said, "I am the one who [objected] due to unknown variables."

The visitor didn't speak for a while.

He looked at Feng Yi.

Look into Feng Yi's eyes.

There was obviously a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were calm, as if without any warmth, and there seemed to be countless complicated secrets hidden in the pupils.

He suddenly realized the meaning of Feng Yi's words.

Before coming to talk to Feng Yi, he had already read the relevant information about Feng Yi, and thought he knew Feng Yi fairly well.

But now, at this moment, he felt that the person in front of him was extremely strange.

When he came out of the room and said goodbye, he looked back again.

Yue Gengyang and his wife also ended their conversations with other people at this time and came to find Feng Yi.

He watched Yue Gengyang and his wife get along with Feng Yi.

No matter how close they were, Yue Gengyang and Ji Fan always maintained a very subtle distance from Feng Yi.

But not emotionally distant.

He analyzed this in his mind, meeting other guests along the way.

This time to watch the actual combat exercise, there were many guests who brought juniors over to gain experience.

The intimacy between these guests and the juniors was casual, whether they were laughing and yelling or talking seriously, whether they were speaking or using their hands, the guests all acted like they were elders.

Think again about how Yue Gengyang and his wife treated Feng Yi.

Looking back now and analyzing carefully, I found that the subtle distance between them was more like... a kind of respect and concession.

The trees on both sides of the road were blown away.

The evening wind was a bit strong tonight, and the waves crashed against the border of the base, making a roaring sound.

The next day, the second voting session took place.

Some of the guests were preoccupied, while others were relaxed and casual.

Andre met Yue Gengyang and others before entering the venue. He originally wanted to say hello, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized...

Something is wrong!

He looked at the position of the couple Yue Gengyang and Ji Fan, then at Feng Yi, and finally his eyes fell on Yue Gengyang again, casting a questioning look.

Yue Gengyang spread his hands and made an expression like "What can I do? I can't do anything to him."

Andre was silent.

The same scene happened when they first arrived at the base and met for the first time.

The same demeanor, but the meaning is different from before.

Or, are they actually the same?

At this time, Yue Gengyang and his wife were slightly behind Feng Yi. This was not an escape or a retreat, but more like...a transfer of identity!

When Andre looked at Feng Yi again, he changed from the way he casually called "kid" before, and became kind-hearted and extremely friendly:

"Good morning~"

"Good morning."

Feng Yi nodded politely, replied, and then entered the venue with Yue Gengyang and Ji Fan.

Andre, who stayed where he was, looked at their backs.

"Things...are getting interesting!"

He put on a new oxygen cylinder and breathed oxygen like crazy.

The pattern on the oxygen bottle is a flash of thunder and lightning.

There will be an update tomorrow too, right?
