Chapter 447: Expose or Not
Feng Yi didn't think that the three people he met in the lounge just mentioned it casually.
Being able to talk about it here and being heard by Feng Yi, although there is a probability problem, but it also means that they may have talked about it frequently recently.
If it is talked about frequently, it means that this plan is likely to have a breakthrough!
Feng Yi looked at the limited information displayed on the screen.
"Butterfly Project" is a highly confidential plan. This confidentiality may be because it is too easy to cause uncontrollable public opinion.
If such a plan is needed, it must require time and huge financial support.
Feng Yi left the library and returned to the hotel.
Picked up another encrypted mobile phone and called Xiao Geng.
Yue Gengyang, the open controller of the Ancestral Factory, was stunned when he heard the "Butterfly Project". After thinking for a while, he said:
"I have heard about it, but our Ancestral Factory did not participate. This was the decision of the previous generation."
The decision of the previous generation, that is, it was decided by my aunt.
Feng Yi was surprised. This important plan that requires a huge amount of money, the Ancestral Factory did not participate?
The Butterfly Project is not short of money? If they are short of money, they will not let go of the fat piece of meat of the ancestral factory.
Yue Gengyang added: "However, the 'Chaos Fund' established by Ms. Feng has been investing in this plan. Oh, Chaos Fund is now her eldest son, that is, your cousin? He is in charge."
Feng Yi frowned slightly, thinking about the deep meaning of his aunt's doing so.
Yue Gengyang continued: "The Butterfly Project had a lot of attention back then, and it could be found on the Internet, but now it is probably deleted and the confidentiality level has also increased. Maybe there is really progress? But because there has been no news released to the public over the years, except for the project-related personnel, other investors can only know very limited information. Some people have changed from supporting at the beginning to being pessimistic, and the overall situation has been stable over the years, so they gradually don't take it seriously and think it's a waste of money."
After speaking, Yue Gengyang paused for a while, giving Feng Yi enough time to think.
At the same time, Yue Gengyang was also searching for relevant information in his encrypted computer.
"The Butterfly Project has been mentioned more frequently recently. I guess there will be some action soon. If someone contacts me, I will tell you immediately."
"Okay, you keep an eye on it."
Feng Yi didn't talk to Yue Gengyang for too long. After the call, he didn't ask his uncle. He had met his uncle and aunt, but Feng Yi didn't know what his uncle's attitude was. He would not contact him about this matter for the time being.
Feng Yi picked up the phone and called the housekeeper.
In terms of money ability, he never underestimated the housekeeper!
The housekeeper answered quickly.
"Oh, the Butler Project, I know."
After all, he was a person who had worked hard during the abnormal climate period, had experienced a lot, had unknown financial resources, and had been with my aunt for many years. The housekeeper knew a lot more details than Yue Gengyang.
"A self-help plan to artificially change the disaster weather. Many people know that this was twenty years ago, but in fact, it was not twenty years ago. It was formally proposed in the fifth year of the climate anomaly period, but preparations had already begun before that. Including the preparation period, this plan has been in progress for nearly forty years.
"The sixth database supported by the Joint Security Bureau continuously supplies it with blood. Its realization requires huge data to support it.
"Establish a joint database, recruit top talents, draw elite troops from various countries, and invite top financial capital groups... At that time, the chaebols had a simple idea. Even if the end of the world came, the money invested could get a ticket on the 'Ark'. So fundraising was very smooth."
Feng Yi listened to the butler's story. This battle really concentrated on doing big things!
The butler's tone was a little emotional: "Humans who have experienced the climate anomaly period know the helplessness and despair of the end of the world. In fact, at the beginning of the climate anomaly period, your aunt had this idea, but she didn't propose it after consideration. She only expressed support when someone else proposed this plan."
Feng Yi can understand. The survival resources provided by the planet are shrinking, and their tribe is now declining in ability and stunted. This global meteorological disaster cannot be reversed or controlled. Even if the aunt has the heart to save the world, she can't do anything.
But if humans can use technology to open up a way to survive, she will support it.
As for why she was not the first person to propose it, the aunt must have her concerns.
The housekeeper continued: "If it really succeeds, such weapons can create a ray of hope for humans, but it can also accelerate destruction and bring the sixth mass extinction ahead of time.
"How to balance the desire and ambition of humans to survive is a difficult problem. However, at this stage, the main thing is to make this plan come true."
Feng Yi listened to this and asked the doubts in his heart: "Why didn't the aunt let the ancestral factory participate? Was it because the ancestral factory was not rich enough at that time?"
"Not really." The housekeeper smiled and said, "I don't know either. But she has her considerations. She said that the ancestral factory is special. When the Butterfly Plan can really see the results, the controller of the ancestral factory will decide whether to participate in it. "
Feng Yi: "...This is a bit too much information. Did she really not leave any more hints?"
The housekeeper seemed to see Feng Yi frowning and thinking through the phone, and said cheerfully:
"It is precisely because she herself is not sure that she did not say more. Don't worry, you will get the answer soon.
"In those years of climate anomaly, extremely important meteorological data was left behind. With the participation of top talents and large consortiums, and the support of the huge sixth database, the project will not be slow. You can hear this in a library, which also proves that the plan should have made progress.
"The road is long and obstructed, but if you keep going, you will reach your destination. Perhaps those former investors did not expect that there would be a day when it would really come true.
"If there is real progress, the management level of the Butterfly Project will invite the world's top experts and heads of large groups to view the results. They need more people to agree and support the continued advancement of this plan. This means that they are very likely to arrange a 'real-life exercise' first."
Hearing this, Feng Yi became energetic.
According to the analysis of the housekeeper, the "real-life exercise" of the Butterfly Project will come soon.
The housekeeper on the other end of the phone suddenly said at this time: "However, if you want to get a 'first-class seat' ticket on the scene, you must be the real decision-maker of the Ancestral Factory."
This is to let Feng Yi know that if he wants to be the first to watch the actual combat exercise of this kind of meteorological weapon, his identity as the real boss behind the scenes of the Ancestral Factory will be exposed.
It depends on how Feng Yi decides.
"Consider it from your own standpoint." said the housekeeper.
After talking to the housekeeper, Feng Yi pondered in the hotel room.
How to choose does require careful consideration.
Previously, everyone agreed that Feng Yi was just a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory, and the elders in the family had a good relationship with the people in power of the Ancestral Factory, so Yue Gengyang and his wife would take care of Feng Yi. Just taking money can't do anything.
But if his identity as the boss behind the scenes of the Ancestral Factory is exposed, it will definitely be a strong impact on the public and various organizations!
Even the Joint Guarantee Bureau, which thinks it has thoroughly investigated Feng Yi's background, will be impacted.
By then, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
However, Feng Yi really wants to be the first to watch the actual combat exercise of the "Butterfly Plan"!
Moreover, the aunt asked him to make a decision after watching it, it must be because this matter is very important!
I have to think about it carefully. Think about it.
Feng Yi sat in the room and was a thinker quietly for two hours.
Then he continued to polish his presentation.
Whether to expose his identity or not, he could not make a decision for the time being, so he had to deal with the things in front of him first.
Actually, Feng Yi wanted to sneak over to listen to the meteorological seminar, but unfortunately he could not go because of a conflict in time.
But also because of the Butterfly Project, Feng Yi felt that the pressure brought by the presentation was nothing. He sorted out the manuscript and came to the venue as scheduled on the day of the exchange meeting.
This exchange meeting was purely an exchange of some experience, views and research results, and there were no other interactive projects with the outside world.
Feng Yi wore a scholarly outfit and explained some small details of animals and plants he observed in the rainforest. With the presentation, he also talked about his own views and basis.
Because he felt that there was not much pressure, he was very natural when he talked. Sometimes he had different opinions from others on the behavior of a certain animal, and Feng Yi did not give in.
This is what I think, and I also put forward the basis. Do you have other opinions? Have you published a paper?
So what if you publish a paper? So what if you list references?
None of them means that they are necessarily correct!
This kind of conflict of views is very common at exchange meetings, and the organizers are happy to see it.
It's okay. With more people doing research and more evidence, some wrong views will be gradually corrected.
Scientific research also relies on people repeatedly hitting each other in the face and constantly setting flags to progress.
Although there were some conflicts of opinion in the process, Feng Yi's performance in this exchange meeting was generally successful.
In everyone's opinion, this young expert showed more professional knowledge and showed his strength. He was not at all weak in front of many predecessors.
After the exchange meeting, the organizer and the professor who strongly invited Feng Yi to attend the meeting shook Feng Yi's hand and shook it violently. It seemed that they could not show their enthusiasm at all.
While being enthusiastic, they also gave Feng Yi some suggestions.
Facing these predecessors, Feng Yi still respected them and listened carefully.
One of the professors from a famous university strongly suggested that Feng Yi continue his studies. If Feng Yi had this intention, he was willing to write a letter of recommendation.
However, Feng Yi was not interested in this.
During this exchange meeting, no one noticed that a young man who followed Feng Yi in and left with him watched the whole process carefully and wrote down several important people who chatted with Feng Yi and the general content of their conversation.
Xiao Ren is here today to strengthen himself and optimize details. He is disguised, different from his usual appearance, and has a passerby temperament, so it is easy to be ignored.
Whenever he takes office and is asked about the exchange meeting, he can also answer the question quite smoothly.
An excellent professional stand-in, professional ability cannot be bad!
By the way, there are quite a lot of sci-fi novels about humans controlling the weather or artificially creating meteorological disasters. In terms of film and television, there are as far back as the 1960s and 1970s, and recently, such as the commercial routine film "Global Storm". It's not a new stalk, don't worry about it.
