Chapter 49 The Eagle Discovers Something Abnormal? It's Just a Decoy to Confuse the Truth (Please Read, Recommend, and Vote)

I heard that if that mega-project is completed on schedule, the area near Zhurihe is expected to become a city with a permanent population of 100 million.

Looking at the massive cluster of buildings already constructed in the city's simulated combat zone on the map, Peter ate a donut: "Incredible speed!"

"I heard that they are going to build a canal nearby to connect several river basins...tsk tsk, I guess in a few years, some desert areas in Zhurihe will become super oases."

"The scenery there is absolutely beautiful!"

Peter was talking with his colleagues...

Only the University of Tokyo could accomplish such an amazing project.

If the congressmen approve some projects, it's estimated that 90% of the money will end up in the pockets of certain commissioners.

To complete it on time, we can only have someone from the East operate it.

Many years ago, the Eagles had incredibly strong infrastructure capabilities, accounting for half of the world's industrial capacity.

Nowadays, they are like an old man who has been exposed by the wind, completely lacking the vigor and mobilization ability of young people!

It's not working well anymore~
"When I take a vacation, I must go to the University of Tokyo to visit it."

He took a bite of the donut, wondering if he could find a gentle and kind wife at Tokyo University, until he caught a glimpse of a uniformed figure that terrified him.

Peter immediately stood up.

"Good morning, General Jackson!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

"Serving America is no hardship!"

Jackson waved his hand, then stood on the platform: "Gentlemen, I have some news to tell you. In the near future, two more groups will be joining your group, and your task will be to keep a close watch on the movements of the Zhurihe troops."

Jackson looked around: "Our intelligence agents inside Dongda University have sent some information that Dongda University is suspected of conducting some new strategic research. Although the research has not yet been confirmed, Zhurihe has been included as one of the key locations for monitoring."

"We entrust the security of our homeland to you all."

"Everyone, do you understand?"

"Understood, sir!"

"Alright, everyone get back to work."

Peter then sat down. After Jackson left, he saw his team leader come to the front of the stage and introduce his colleagues. After a flurry of activity, Peter finally had a chance to ask his team leader, "Sir, we've been monitoring Zhurihe for so long, and it's just some very common infrastructure. Do we really need to focus on a base that's so easily attacked and destroyed?"

"This is what the higher-ups want!" The team leader took a sip of a cappuccino with lots of sugar. "It's outrageous! The higher-ups have gone mad! They actually think Dongda University is going to give the new generation of 'Miss Qiu' a home on the vast grasslands!"

"Settling down in a new generation of Miss Qiu?" Peter frowned slightly. "Are they confused, or have they lost their minds?"

He was a professional intelligence officer, but he knew that Miss Qiu from Dongda University was the epitome of a deadly weapon.

"Who knows!" The team leader drank half a glass of cappuccino, assigned some tasks, and then made an excuse to go out.

Peter secretly gave the group leader the middle finger.

He gave the other person a severe look of contempt!
The Octagon has a strict hierarchy; even a difference of half a level can be devastating.

Most of these professional satellite military intelligence collectors have to do grueling security and information analysis work.

If it weren't for the advanced AI technology that has significantly reduced their workload, Peter simply wouldn't be able to withstand such intense mental and visual activities.

In contrast, being promoted only half a level to team leader is a dream job. Not only do they have their own office, but they also only work six hours a day! Damn it!
"I need to work harder. When I apply for the next assessment, I'll use all the $2 I've saved to do public relations and try to get the position of deputy team leader!"

……

It is located in Guizhou Province, thousands of kilometers away from Zhurihe.

Inside a super-large building complex built to explore the mysteries of the universe, known to the world as the "Sky Eye".

Ding Yuchen had just returned to his office after a long day of tedious scientific research when he saw the base's leaders and several men with military bearing standing before him.

It’s finally here!
"Hello, Professor Ding, did Professor Zhou from Wudaokou contact you before?"

"Okay, I've contacted them. I'll go to the office to pack my things."

"Don't rush, let's go to the office first!"

The base's civilian leader smiled and said goodbye. The remaining tasks were classified, and it was best for him not to get involved.

When the group arrived at the office, Professor Ding wanted to pour some tea to entertain them, but the leader respectfully declined: "Professor Ding, our time is very important, and your political review complies with confidentiality principles. Let's get straight to the point."

He pulled out a thick, confidential document: "This is a legal document that, once signed, will restrict your future travel abroad, and your family members may also be subject to 'monitoring and protection.' Please confirm again whether you want to participate in our project."

Professor Ding unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of tea mixed with goji berries: "At my age, besides fishing, I'm only interested in things related to cosmic civilizations. Since my country needs me, I naturally have to come."

"Then please sign your name."

Ding Yuchen nodded and glanced at the official document. Only after confirming it wasn't some loan or liability agreement did he sign his name.

"Professor Ding, welcome to our team. As per the previous requirements, have you notified your team members today?"

Ding Yuchen smiled and nodded: "Those kids have been eager to try out the major project that concerns the country's development for a long time."

"That's good, this will save us a lot of trouble!"

Ding Yuchen pursed his lips: "Brother, now that I've joined the organization, can you tell me what kind of project it is? Does it have anything to do with aliens?"

The person in charge of receiving him smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough. Professor Ding, please inform your team that after the documents are signed, we'll arrive at the base this afternoon."

"it is good!"

With Professor Ding taking the lead, his five apprentices, who had passed the review, quickly signed highly confidential agreements.

Afterwards, the person in charge of receiving Professor Ding led them into a room.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw the person in the remote monitoring room.

"Professor Ding, you should know this person, right?"

"Isn't this Xiaoyun from next door, the one who's in charge of studying the stars?" Ding Yuchen looked at the familiar face and asked in confusion, "She took a few days off, how did she end up inside?"

"The other party is involved in selling important state secrets and will probably spend the rest of his life in jail!"

Ding Yuchen's eyes widened: "Selling state secrets?"

"Yeah, it was when we issued the mission a couple of days ago that this guy contacted people overseas directly. Luckily, we had a contingency plan in place!"

"Hey, Xiaoyun's research ability is quite good."
