2012
July 2009.
It has been a month since Zhang Tianyuan last held a meeting with the senior management.
During this month, the sudden "mass training" campaign launched in China has become the focus of attention for many people within the system.
This movement, based on land, sea, and air, has rapidly expanded into fields such as aerospace, science and technology, and military industry, and even seemingly unrelated disciplines like history have joined in.
The project devoured a staggering 400,000 people from various sectors.
These 400,000 people were completely cut off from the outside world and began their secret "training" in various remote mountains and forests.
If you asked someone working within the system to summarize their work over the past year, it would definitely be described as a period of turmoil.
First, there are endless disaster drills. After one drill, you move on to the next. After this week's training, you train again next week. People in every department are practically becoming escape experts.
Secondly, various regulations suddenly became stricter, as if an invisible membrane had appeared both domestically and internationally, and it was a membrane as hard as steel, causing many people with ill intentions to fail.
Then there are all sorts of assigned tasks, with random tasks popping up every now and then, making people rush and feel exhausted.
Now, it's even more like a "mass training camp," with 400,000 people all suddenly locked up for training.
If we didn't know those people were top-tier elites and talents in the country, everyone would probably think something major had happened.
Mobilizing 400,000 people within a month is a massive undertaking that cannot be kept secret from foreign countries.
News media from various countries searched their own past histories for things their countries had done in the past, copied all sorts of dirty answers, and then applied them to this large-scale training camp, quickly stirring up a huge uproar.
Whether internationally or domestically, everyone's eyes are on this suddenly emerging "large-scale training" project, and various unfavorable discussions are never-ending.
However, even amidst these criticisms, the domestic authorities showed no sign of wavering, and the large-scale training camp was resolutely carried out with a determination that exceeded everyone's expectations.
Of course, it's impossible for the country to take away so many people without releasing any information to the public.
Among the limited official documents that have been released, the most valuable are undoubtedly the video recordings of hundreds of people speaking.
In the video, these people passionately stated that they were participating in a great project that could change the course of human history, but they could not disclose it to the public yet.
cloth...
This left outsiders completely baffled.
Even if they wanted to gather intelligence, they couldn't collect any information for the time being.
The secrecy measures for this large-scale training program were so strict that it was almost unbelievable.
Foreign countries can only order their own spies to investigate and report again, while using the power of the media to create all sorts of sensational news.
However, the 400,000 people in the "Great Training Camp" believed they were indeed participating in a project that could change the course of human history!
Spacetime Tunnel.
Parallel universes.
Go copy... oops, go help other friendly countries seal up their supplies...
Nothing is more desirable than these things.
Even the Chinese national football team winning the championship cannot compare to this.
The overlap between these 400,000 people and the previously prepared 500,000 people is not high. The previously prepared 500,000 people were mainly workers from various industries, intended to revive the industry in No. 2 Spacetime.
The majority of those mobilized were military personnel, followed by scientists and engineers.
Two hundred thousand of them were prepared for Otis's global fleet, using a mentorship system where one veteran would lead three or four new recruits.
They pieced together 200,000 people in this way.
Of the remaining 200,000 people, 1,500 are in the aerospace system, 20,000 are responsible for mobile support, 30,000 are responsible for logistics and administrative management, 50,000 are engineers in the science, technology and military industries, and the rest are ground and air troops.
Of course, there are dozens of historians in addition to these.
The reason for bringing them along is that the team behind "2012" wanted to systematically study the historical development patterns between two parallel timelines.
Ideally, we could also explore in depth whether the development of history is influenced by any physical laws or other principles.
Otherwise, how could two parallel universes be so similar?
Zhang Tianyuan also hoped that they could figure out the answer to this question.
However, these historians were destined not to be the focus of this operation.
Because the number of these 400,000 people was so large, and the locations where each team carried out its missions were all different.
Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan had no choice but to send them separately to parallel universes.
The first team to set off was a group of 50,000 people heading to help Tong Wenshi.
This large force was divided into twenty squads, which Zhang Tianyuan sent across the country to travel between cities, clear out most of the Darkseekers in the cities, and at the same time search for survivors, paving the way for Tong Wenshi's southward journey.
After this brigade left, it was their turn.
They've arrived at Otis.
Each of them was assigned to a corresponding brigade based on their pre-apocalyptic position and the information they possessed, and was responsible for providing all the information they remembered.
More than one hundred high-ranking officials were divided into fifteen teams.
These fifteen teams were then dispatched by Zhang Tianyuan to various locations within the Otis network, essentially covering all high-value targets nationwide.
Among them, Otis, along with the Secretary of Health, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and others, were the last to depart. They would travel to New York with the KV Virus research team and Zhang Tianyuan.
"As the origin of the KV Virus, the New York Virus Research Institute still retains a large amount of original data. The person in charge at the time was Lieutenant Colonel Robert, and we haven't heard from him since we left."
The Minister of Health, now wearing a suit and a new tie, with dark circles under his eyes, reminisces about the period before the KV Virus outbreak.
This is also why Zhang Tianyuan is going to New York.
The KV Virus remains a thorn in the side for everyone in No. 2 Spacetime. A vaccine alone is not enough; only by completely eliminating its threat can everyone truly feel at ease.
This requires more information, especially first-hand information.
Therefore, it is essential to obtain the original data on the KV Virus KV Virus and to investigate its place of origin.
"Let's go..." Watching Otis and the others being escorted onto the armored vehicle, Zhang Tianyuan skillfully and quickly set the target location.
"Destination: New York."
The next moment, the main force on the field disappeared.
Meanwhile, in another timeline of New York, an armored convoy suddenly appeared.
"Check the surrounding environment, Open Heaven to transmit radio signals to the surrounding area, and at the same time send communication signals to the Imperial Capital and the Mutual Aid Society Second Division..." Zhang Tianyuan picked up the communicator and gave the order to the entire convoy.
Although everyone brought along were newbies who were traveling through time for the first time, they were already mentally prepared from the audio-visual materials.
Upon realizing they had arrived, the soldiers immediately began carrying out orders without hesitation.
"The surrounding area is safe! We are confirming the exact location..."
"Radio broadcast commenced."
"Communication signal sent... Reply received!"
"Time confirmed, it is currently 10:38 AM."
Zhang Tianyuan opened the car door, looked at the desolate city in this foreign land, and took a deep breath:
"Let's go, we're going to the New York Virus Research Institute."
"From this moment forward, New York is under our control!"
