What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 71 Believe in Science

The Cold War was an era of gathering of heroes and also an era of magic.

In 1970, a best-selling novel was published, explaining the existence of special abilities and claiming that Big Brother already had 200 million super-powered people serving him.

At the same time, American agents stole secrets and discovered that Big Brother invested 6000 million rubles every year in super power research.

So in 1972, at an army base in Maryland, three major U.S. agencies spent 2000 million U.S. dollars to officially launch the "Stargate Project."

The purpose of the Stargate Project is to search for super-perceptive humans and attempt to study the causes and methods of replicating "superhumans" for intelligence and military purposes.

According to the New Century Archives, one of these superpowers is "walls have ears":
A person with super powers in a sealed basement can "see" the paintings in another secret room next door, and describe and reproduce them.

Although the scammers were soon exposed, the Stargate Project was not suspended until 1991 because of the principle of "better to believe it" and "just in case". During this period, the attempt to find real super powers was never given up.

The rumor that "if the human brain's potential is developed to 100%, one can gain superpowers" also appeared and became popular during that period.

The rabbit, who was so poor at the time that his pants were about to fall off, saw that both sides were conducting research on special abilities. How could he fall behind?
Although they are not as good as rockets and battleships, how can we lack superpowers and supernatural humans in the vast world of five thousand years?
Besides, the two super groups are working hard to research something. If they fall behind, won’t they be beaten again?

Since it is a domestic superpower research, the research content must naturally be "domesticated".

A large number of enduring old-fashioned theories such as the Five Elements Theory, Xuanhuang Qi, Qigong, and cultivation to become immortal have officially entered the official vision under the guise of superpowers.

Institute 507 and Bureau 749, a superpower research institute and a supernatural weapons research bureau, just came into being.

With the idea of ​​"since we're already here" and "it might as well give it a try", the first generation of researchers from the two institutions traveled around the country to collect supernatural events and "supermen".

Under such circumstances, a large number of special people, super-powered prodigies, qigong masters, etc. emerged across the country at once.

At that time, there were many people who had slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education. Seeing such a big scene, it was naturally hard to believe.

However, as time goes by, people with special abilities are exposed one by one, and various supernatural events are gradually revealed to be fabrications or misinformation.

It was not until the end of 1991, with the collapse of Big Brother, that Trump realized that the "Stargate Project" was meaningless and immediately terminated it.

The country also believed that there was no need for further research and no effective results were found, so the research on super powers came to an end.

However, for the public, scammers have become a common sight, and even cults have taken the opportunity to sneak in. The authorities have had to start vigorously refuting rumors and cracking down on counterfeiting.

But after years of continuous influence, who would easily believe that practicing special abilities is a scam?

Who among those who grew up in that era had not seen "special people" or secretly practiced qigong?
So when Chen Yonggui discovered something unusual, his first reaction was not fear, but excitement.

Special abilities, real special abilities!

With so many people and such a big thing, it is definitely not fake, and there is no point in faking it!
He just wanted to witness the special abilities with his own eyes and see for himself that all the years he had spent were not in vain!

Under Chen Yonggui's eager gaze, Tang Wen fell silent.

He originally wanted to try to fool the village chief, but ended up misleading him.

"Uncle, you're overthinking it. There's no such thing as a special ability."

"He's a perfectly normal person, how can you make him act like a puppet? Look at Tang Yi, he has eyes and nose, and he'll starve to death if he doesn't eat, so how can you make him turn beans into soldiers?
Andong is a village. How could you find one among the many villages in Northeast China? Tang Yi was recruited when I went to Northeast China to get diesel engines. The others are also veteran workers from there.

I'm just afraid of being in a foreign place where I don't know anyone, so I don't dare to go out casually."

"But……"

Chen Yonggui became anxious instantly. How could he not have any special abilities?

"Well, well, your shipyard..."

Tang Wen: "Prefabricated panels, you've seen Yumi Xiaofu Building before. How fast can they be built?"

"No, no, there must be something wrong!"

Chen Yonggui scratched his head and ears, completely losing his usual composure:

"How could there not be one? Let me think...a plane, a plane!"

"It's so easy to make something from decades ago with today's technology that even a car factory can make it."

Tang Wen tried to persuade Lao Deng patiently, but he couldn't lead him into the trap of special abilities.

Chen Yonggui: "What about this ship? I'm not blind. This is definitely not a cement ship. If you don't believe me, let me go down to the cabin and take a look."

"..."

Tang Wen sighed and said as if you saw through him:
"Well, the boat is made of steel. I bought it from...

"Isn't this right!"

Chen Yonggui immediately said:
"This ship is at least 5,000 tons. It's so new, it's definitely not for dismantling. Just buying that much steel would cost tens of millions. Where did you get that much money?"

"Do you know how my father died?" Tang Wen asked back.

Chen Yonggui: "He drowned. Everyone knows that. The boat capsized... Well, every village has seen it. A small boat went out to sea and fell asleep at night and died."

Tang Wen: "Actually, my father is a retired agent from the Dragon Group. He came to Echeng to live in seclusion in order to find a sunken ship on the seabed. It was filled with gold, silver and treasures used by the Japanese when they retreated, but it later sank due to a malfunction.

The Dragon Group searched for more than ten years without success, but my father got a clue and kept searching secretly, and unexpectedly found it.

He went to confirm the coordinates that night, but ended up drowning in the sea. I only found out about this when I was sorting through his belongings and reading his diary."

Dragon Crew? Shipwreck treasure?
This is wrong!

Chen Yonggui subconsciously asked:

"What is the Dragon Group?"

"The Dragon Group is actually a secret organization that has been passed down for many years. It was once formed by the remnants of the Imperial City Division after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in order to revive China. Later, it successfully helped Zhu Yuanzhang defeat the Yuan Dynasty and officially changed its name to Jinyiwei. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it split into two factions.

One group surrendered to the Qing court and was called the "Blood Guillotines", while the other group held on to their beliefs, wandered to Southeast Asia, and secretly supported the Tiandihui and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to launch uprisings.

The Jinyiwei have been entrenched in Nanyang for three hundred years, and gradually developed Chinese businessmen all over the country, controlling the real foundation of Nanyang.

When the country was lost, merchants from Southeast Asia donated money enthusiastically, and the Jinyiwei was renamed the Dragon Group, vowing to secretly protect the safety of hundreds of millions of people.

"Every member of the Dragon Team has unique skills, or is proficient in weapons and skills, and is known as the King of Soldiers. The higher level is called the King of Soldiers.
Some people stand up as business tycoons to lead society and benefit the local area;
Some people are good at hiding, hiding their identities for decades without leaving a trace - like my father, codenamed "Mei Yu Jian."

Tang Wen paused:
"The members of the Dragon Group are spread all over the world. Some may be business elites, while others may have been ordinary farmers their entire lives. It is impossible to tell them apart. Only special methods can identify each other.

There are members of the Dragon Group stationed in every industry and every location. Some of them have become guardian families, guarding the peace of the area for generations.

Many superpower incidents are actually just means used by the Dragon Group to confuse the public and prevent their own transcendent existence from being discovered.

As for those who try to take advantage of the situation, that is not something they can control.”

Chen Yonggui was fascinated by the novels about the first generation of Long Aotian after 2000. He was convinced by the story of a thousand-year-old organization that lasted from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, the guardians of all generations, the endless masters, and the real names such as the Tiandihui.

At this moment, Tang Wen sighed and said:

"I discovered my father's secret, so I secretly contacted the head of the Dragon Group's Nanyang Bureau, codenamed Ye Shisan.

Ye Shisan recruited me to replace my father, and hoped that I would use this gold and silver treasures to develop the economy, benefit society, move the wealth of Nanyang to the country for development, and carry out the "1999 Return Project."

That is why I helped the village set up a fishing company and helped you build roads, so that we can complete the goal of wealth transfer before 1999.

Up to now, the Dragon Group has decided to gradually emerge and authorized me to become the new generation of Featherless Arrow and take charge of the affairs of Goose City.

Chen Yonggui, the village chief of Dayuan Village, I see that you are wholeheartedly serving the people and working hard for the villagers, so I am testing you today.

On behalf of the Dragon Group, I would like to invite you to join the Dragon Group's Southeast Bureau as a non-staff member to assist in the implementation of the Return to 1999 Project. Are you willing?"

Chen Yonggui was already stunned, and replied with a start:

"Yes, I'm willing to join the Dragon Group!"

"Okay, from today on your code name is Man Tian Huo."

Tang Wen rubbed out a silver coin from his palm, handed it to Chen Yonggui, and said seriously:
"Every member who participated in the 1999 return project will receive 0.5% of the gold and silver, or approximately million yuan, if the plan is successful.

As a non-staff member developed by me, you can receive a confidentiality allowance of 200 silver coins every month until you die.

But as a price, you can never take the initiative to mention your identity to others, otherwise you will be hunted down by the Dragon Group's Death God Long Aotian, Wolf Fang Soldier King Xiao Yan, close-range agent Huo Yuhao, flower-protecting master Lin Yi, and mountain-going genius doctor Bald Qiang, and you will not be able to escape even if you go to the ends of the earth.

Have you made up your mind? "

"It's decided!"

In the dark night, Chen Yonggui, standing on the deck of the Yahagi, was extremely excited and his heart was pounding.

The 1999 Return Project sounds like a huge plan, and the Dragon Team members also receive an allowance of two hundred silver coins!
"I am willing to keep secrets for the country, join the Dragon Group, and never leak secrets!"

"Without the arrows, I will definitely cooperate with the plan and will not arouse suspicion. I will never let anyone in Dawan Village have second thoughts!"

Chen Yonggui's face flushed and his eyes were fixed on Tang Wen.

The latter nodded seriously and said slowly:

"Because of the urgency of the task, some loopholes are inevitable. You must make good use of the advantages of your location and optimize and innovate your tactics to improve our work results.
Don't dwell on supernatural powers; trust science. "Once the tourism village project is complete, I'll ask Director Ye Shisan to make you a regular employee, and your allowance will increase. Do you understand, Mantianhuo?"

"Yes, there are no feather arrows!"
