Chapter 488 Arrival at the Base
Yue Gengyang's news was very reliable. The day after Feng Yi made preparations, he received the official news notification.
Storm will not make appointments with people and negotiate conditions. After the Butterfly Project Project Command Center determined the target, it immediately sent a notice. The time was set and could not be changed.
As for those who cannot arrive on time for some reason, the exercise will not wait.
Therefore, all parties who received the notice acted very quickly. After all, those who had worked hard to get the spots had prepared for this day for a long time, and they were about to set off without missing a beat.
As agreed, Feng Yi went directly to the Ancestral Factory headquarters and rested for one night in a room prepared in the headquarters building. He also left some research materials and helped the laboratory with a few small favors.
The next day, Feng Yi went to the airport with Xiao Ji and Xiao Geng, namely Ji Fan and Yue Gengyang, and their accompanying team.
The Ancestral Factory’s departure team this time consisted of thirty people, including ten crew members.
Normally, there is actually no need for ten crew members, but this time is special. In order to prevent some uncontrollable external troubles encountered midway, the crew configuration is a little more gorgeous.
At the airport, the plane is already waiting.
The business jet modified from a passenger aircraft with the logo of the ancestor factory has been waiting for a long time.
A passenger plane with more than 300 seats was converted into a private jet with an optimal capacity of about 30 people.
There are two bedrooms inside. For this trip, Yue Gengyang and his wife will occupy one, and the other will be given to Feng Yi.
The destination of this flight was a small island in the sea. It was not the command center of Project Butterfly, but just one of the experimental bases.
The flight lasted several hours and took a long time. Xiao Ji and Xiao Geng were both very busy people. They also brought important assistant secretaries with them on this trip and continued working on the plane.
The bodyguards also gathered together to discuss the security work for this trip.
The crew members each have their own division of labor and dare not relax at all times.
Only Feng Yi was lying in the bedroom watching satellite TV.
After watching it for a while, I lost interest and turned off the TV again. I took out some information related to the Butterfly Project and looked through it, including some of the world's celebrities who were sure to go this time.
I had already read it once before coming here. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. I will read it again to strengthen my memory.
On the contrary, he was not very interested in those related to the Butterfly Project experiments, and no amount of writing could compare to his personal experience. I have had direct contact with him, and there is no sense of mystery or strong curiosity.
In contrast, he would rather look at the information of supporters and opponents of the Butterfly Project.
After reading the information, having a meal on the way, and sleeping again, the destination has been reached.
It's just that the plane can't land immediately now.
There were other planes arriving at a similar time.
Airspace and route control, for safety reasons and to avoid conflicts, each arriving aircraft flies according to the route and altitude given by the base, waiting for subsequent instructions.
To put it simply, there are too many planes arriving in a short period of time, so you have to queue up to land.
Of course, it’s okay to disobey instructions and you will be responsible for the consequences.
The experimental base is equipped with sufficient military power.
Before Feng Yi and the others arrived, the plane departing from the capital had already arrived at the airport assigned by the base.
Dai Fangxun and others, who had met Feng Yi before, set off with the national team this time.
No matter how playful and smiling he is on weekdays, he is well-dressed, upright and serious when he comes out of the cabin.
Representing one's own country's face on such an occasion is also related to the interests of everyone, so of course one must be careful and cautious.
However, he is a young man after all. When he got off the plane and saw the various configurations of the base that were different from other places, he couldn't help but hide his curiosity and excitement.
When they saw the people wearing familiar military uniforms who came to pick them up, several young people thought to themselves:
Otherwise, it would be safer to follow the national team. Our own army is stationed here!
This airport pick-up lineup is full of martial virtue at first glance!
Continuing forward, I paid attention to the patterns on the planes that had arrived, wondering who they were. At the same time, I am also curious about some facilities in the base that I cannot understand for the time being.
Unable to speak out, several young people exchanged glances.
A middle-aged man in front of him turned his head slightly and coughed.
Several young people immediately calmed down and stopped looking away.
Shortly after the national team arrived, Feng Yi and his plane also arrived at the airport.
However, even though they stopped at the same airport, they went to different waiting rooms. Therefore, Feng Yi could not see anyone from the national team after getting off the plane.
Feng Yi followed the team into the waiting room and observed the inside of the building.
When you sit on the plane and look down from above, you can see many large and small, round or oval buildings on the island.
The airport waiting room has a similar design. It is not artistically beautiful, but it is technically solid. To be used as one of the important bases for experiments, it must have experienced many severe storms.
Feng Yi was observing when an excited voice came from diagonally ahead:
"Hey! Yue! My dear friend!"
Feng Yi followed the sound and looked over.
An elderly man was sitting in a wheelchair, laughing and waving in this direction. A dozen bodyguards followed him closely.
Feng Yi recognized this person.
The information read on the plane included energy giant Andre, one of the funders of the Butterfly Project.
Although he is only in his sixties, he makes himself look like a person in his eighties or nineties.
When Andre was young, he inherited the private oil company passed down by his father. Later, during the nearly 20-year climate anomaly period, he seized the opportunity of this special period. When many of his peers were "buried", he took the wheel of the times to complete the energy transformation and build his own industrial empire.
Andre is indeed a genius, but he is also crazy. Or to use the comments of some netizens, he sometimes dares to die and acts outrageously.
Although his industrial empire is very powerful, he has also tossed himself so hard that he is still breathing oxygen in a wheelchair.
Andre is also an important member of the private investment lineup of the Butterfly Project. He even expressed his willingness to participate in person many times.
But this person is notoriously crazy and was rejected by the project team.
However, even if he was rejected, Andre has always been actively supportive of the Butterfly Project and has always maintained a relatively good relationship with the project team. At least on the surface.
At this time, Andre controlled the wheelchair to come over here, his brown hair mixed with silver threads fluttered in the wind, and there was an oxygen tube in his nostrils, but this did not affect his speech.
I don't know if it's his own problem or because he's breathing oxygen, but he has a creepy tone when he speaks, and with that old face and exaggerated expression, most people will feel scared when they face him, even if they don't know his identity.
But it's obvious that the people from the original factory are not among these "most people".
Andre didn't care what others thought of him. He laughed and greeted, and controlled the wheelchair to approach, and kept talking:
"What medicine did I inject last time? Oh, it's great! It's amazing! Look, I can already get out of the intensive care unit! Dear Yue, can't I really have another shot?"
Yue Gengyang smiled calmly and replied: "Believe me, this time is too short. The side effects of another shot will make your body's cells, like an over-inflated balloon, the whole... Boom! Blood will continue to flow out of your mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. You don't want that result."
"Okay." Andre's eyebrows didn't raise an extra millimeter, but just showed a little regret as expected.
Maybe he was in a bad mood, but he pulled out the colorful oxygen cylinder from the portable oxygen inhalation device and threw it back.
Someone caught it immediately, and the person standing next to him installed the blue-gray oxygen cylinder that Andre liked, and adjusted it smoothly.
The color of the newly installed oxygen cylinder was duller, which seemed to reflect the boss's mood at the moment.
The cooperation of this entourage... It was obvious that it could not be trained in a day or two. How long would it take to train it?
This was the first time Feng Yi met Andre in person. He had only seen news about him on the Internet before.
Andre was a freak in the eyes of the world.
He was a world-renowned Internet celebrity and was very active on social platforms. However, he was known to people all over the world not because of his identity as an energy tycoon, but because of some of his suicidal or outrageous behaviors.
For example, Andre had planned it long ago and spent a lot of money to prepare -
After his death, he would have a professional team broadcast the funeral live and launch the coffin into space! Let the world see the process of his coffin going up to the sky!
Feng Yi was thinking about this man's deeds, and he found that Andre's emotions changed quickly and strongly, like an overturned ink tray. The saying that genius and madness are separated by a thin line is vividly reflected in Andre.
At this time, Andre's eyes swept over and fell on Feng Yi. After a short pause, he asked Yue Gengyang: "Wow, bring your child here to broaden his horizons?"
Yue Gengyang spread his hands and made an expression of "What can I do? I can't do anything about him."
There were too many people who brought their younger generations to broaden their horizons this time, and Andre also brought one, but he felt that his descendants failed to inherit his amazing talent, and he was impatient to let those "wastes" follow him to meet friends.
Yue Gengyang continued to walk into the living room, and Andre controlled the wheelchair to catch up, and kept mumbling:
"Do you really not need investment?"
"Dear Yue, there are still thousands of proteins in humans that are not understood. Countless funds are invested every year, and so many people are researching, but only you have discovered those magical substances! This is an opportunity given by God! You need more investment to expand the research team! Take God's gift!"
Yue Gengyang kept walking: "Sorry, I respect your beliefs, but I don't believe in God."
Andre: "Oh yes, you said, you believe in [Nu Wa] [Fu Xi]?"
The Chinese pronunciation is quite accurate.
Andre: "I understand, you believe in the snake god."
Yue Gengyang stopped: "I must correct it, they are gods, not snake gods! Don't make a mistake, otherwise you will be gone in the next shot!"
