The 21st Century's Greatest Person: Chen Feng
Although Chen Feng knew that Mitsui Kazuo and the others weren't worth that much money, Jack was already negotiating with Cherry Blossom Country, and he didn't want to get involved.
If they can't get the money, then lock these people in the dungeon for life.
He had no fondness for a simple, ordinary life.
Chen Feng then said:
"Recently, many organizations have come to the Golden Triangle to investigate extraterrestrial technology, haven't they? You can take advantage of this buzz and hold another auction. I'll give you the auction items later."
There is currently a huge amount of online buzz surrounding space carriers.
We can take advantage of this wave of popularity to hold another auction and sell some items from the Painting Scroll World.
This time, Chen Feng will bring out some special items from the Painting Scroll World to sell.
Since these were all martial arts items, they were worthless to Chen Feng.
"Okay, boss, I'll get started right away!" Jack smiled.
The last auction brought them billions of dollars.
Jack was naturally delighted that Chen Feng was going to hold another auction.
Just then, Chen Feng's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Liu Mu calling.
To be honest, Liu Mu hadn't contacted him for a long time, and he didn't know what had happened this time.
Chen Feng answered the phone, and Liu Mu's voice immediately came from the other end:
"Little Chen, have you seen the news?"
Chen Feng replied, "I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been watching the news much. What's up, boss?"
Liu Mu's voice was filled with joy:
"Of course it was the airshow! Our J-20 with its phantom paint coating made its debut at yesterday's airshow. You didn't see how astonished those people from other countries were. This time, we finally shut them up."
"We also received many foreign trade orders through this airshow, and you deserve the most credit for that."
Chen Feng said with a smile:
"Serving the country is what I should do as a researcher. I'm sure the leader came to see me for more than just this."
Chen Feng didn't think Liu Mu would contact him about this matter; there must be something else going on.
Selling Phantom Paint to the government also brings Chen Feng some money; it's not a free gift, and Chen Feng doesn't feel he's done anything particularly significant.
Liu Mu immediately said:
"There are indeed two other things I wanted to discuss with you today. You should know about the space carrier, right?"
"I know that, but didn't the news say that the photo was photoshopped?" Chen Feng pretended to be confused.
Liu Mu said seriously:
"I can tell you definitively that the space carrier is real, and the person who took the photos is currently with the State Security!"
"The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. The Dragon Academy of Sciences immediately established a research and discussion group, and they want you to participate in this seminar, so they asked me to ask you."
Chen Feng is an academician of the Dragon Academy of Sciences, and there are only a handful of academicians in the entire Dragon Academy of Sciences.
Each academician is one of the top scientific research experts in China.
The Dragon Academy of Sciences wanted to invite Chen Feng to participate in this seminar on aerospace carriers as soon as possible.
After hearing Liu Mu's words, Chen Feng decisively refused, saying:
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not interested in this."
Liu Mu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
In Liu Mu's view, researchers like Chen Feng should be very interested, after all, this is alien technology.
Chen Feng spoke up:
"It's just one photo; we can't draw any conclusions from that. Besides, I have many research projects to work on right now, so I don't have the time."
Chen Feng would never participate in such a discussion about a photograph.
This is a complete waste of time, and he doesn't want to sit with those old men.
"Alright, if you don't want to go there, that's fine. I've already sent people to the Golden Triangle to investigate. I'll let you know as soon as there are any new leads about the space carrier."
Chen Feng didn't want to go, and Liu Mu didn't force Chen Feng to go.
He had never imposed many strict requirements on Chen Feng.
Liu Mu's voice turned serious:
"There's another matter, concerning your group's anti-cancer drugs."
Liu Mu brought up this matter.
Li Xiaorou has submitted the drug to the Drug Administration for approval.
This anti-cancer drug has truly shaken the Drug Administration.
When Liu Mu learned that the medicine could treat cancer, he was incredibly excited.
The advent of this drug could save countless families shattered by cancer.
And Liu Mu could also confirm it.
If this drug were to be revealed to the public, it would shock the entire medical community.
Chen Feng asked, "Is there a problem with the medication?"
Liu Mu's hearty laughter rang out:
"No problem, your drug approval will be granted within seven days. I've already spoken to the Drug Administration."
"Little Chen, if you weren't a Dragon Country, I'd start to suspect you're an alien. Cancer, which scientists around the world have been struggling to conquer for countless years, has now been conquered by you."
"If your identity weren't confidential, based on your research achievements alone, you would definitely be a contender for the greatest person of the 21st century!"
Liu Mu's words made Chen Feng laugh.
"Boss, please don't praise me. I've been researching this anti-cancer drug for a long time, and this achievement is no accident."
"Sir, I remember you were in charge of military equipment, how come you can even handle drug regulation now?"
Chen Feng brought up the topic of developing anti-cancer drugs, something that couldn't be discussed in depth.
What caught Chen Feng's attention was that Liu Mu said the drug approval would be completed in a week.
This breaks the rules and regulations; even Liu Mu, as the head of the equipment department, wouldn't have done this.
"Little Chen, you probably don't know yet, but I've been promoted and am now directly under Great Capital."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was taken aback, then said, "Congratulations on your promotion, sir."
Although Liu Mu did not say what his current position was, he was directly under the Great Capital, which alone was enough to determine his rank; that was the real core of the government.
Liu Mu said with emotion:
"This is all because of you. Without your research and development achievements, I might never have gotten this far in my life."
"Don't worry, Little Chen. From now on, I will be solely responsible for your company, including you. No one will be able to interfere with you."
"If anyone gives you trouble, just call me anytime. No matter who it is, I can help you resolve it!"
Liu Mu's words were incredibly domineering.
With the power he currently holds, he really doesn't need to fear anyone except for those people in Great Capital.
"I'm relieved to hear that from the leader," Chen Feng said with a smile.
With Liu Mu's connection, there will be no official trouble in the future; on the contrary, all procedures will be expedited for him.
"I support your drug pricing plan, and you don't need to worry about public opinion. Our military will assist you in sales and prevent anyone from sabotaging the process."
Upon learning that Chen Feng planned to differentiate the pricing of anti-cancer drugs, Liu Mu understood Chen Feng's meaning.
Chen Feng wants to help more ordinary people, and Liu Mu supports this.
From this, he could see that Chen Feng cared about the country and the people of Dragon Country.
"Thank you, sir."
With the military's assistance, it can indeed deter some people with ulterior motives, and the anti-cancer drugs will not have to worry about trouble in China.
After chatting briefly with Liu Mu, Chen Feng hung up the phone.
Jack, who was standing next to Chen Feng, deliberately moved away while Chen Feng was on the phone.
He only came over after Chen Feng finished his call.
Chen Feng looked at Jack and said:
"Go and prepare for the auction. I'll transport the satellite myself once it arrives."
With most of the matters in the modern world settled, Chen Feng planned to return directly to the Painting Scroll World to launch the satellite once he obtained it.
On the international internet.
Recently, the international internet buzz has shifted from the military exercises in the Golden Triangle to news about the airshow recently held in Dragon Country.
Many new fighter jets from various countries were showcased at this airshow.
Among them, the most attractive is undoubtedly Dragon Country's new J-20 fighter jet.
The J-20 fighter jet's debut this time has truly amazed everyone.
According to data, the radar cross-section of this J-20 is only 0.001, which is even lower than the radar cross-section of the Eagle Sauce Country B-2 bomber.
It's important to know that Dragon Country has never been particularly advanced in radar stealth technology.
In just a few years, Dragon Country has caught up with and even surpassed the Eagle Sauce Country.
What surprised everyone even more was that the metallic coating of this J-20 could automatically change color.
Color-changing materials have been studied in various countries.
However, the J-20 fighter jets of Dragon Country change color in real time according to the surrounding environment.
This means that if Dragon Country's fighter jets take off at night...
Not only can it not be detected by radars from other countries, but it cannot even be captured by high-resolution satellite cameras.
This fighter jet possesses complete stealth capabilities.
This is undoubtedly a huge threat to other countries.
For a time, many countries could hardly believe that Dragon Country could develop such a metal coating.
Many people suspect that this data is fabricated, and experts have been questioning it online.
However, some major powers with cutting-edge technologies chose to remain silent at this time.
Because their technicians had already been to the airshow and had seen the new J-20.
Based on feedback from their technical staff, the data on the J-20 is absolutely accurate.
The J-20's debut also brought Dragon Country a large number of arms orders to the airshow.
Many smaller countries that previously cooperated with the Eagle Sauce have now chosen to place orders with Dragon Country.
For these small countries, they will buy fighter jets from whichever country has the best technology.
Although they can't buy the other side's most advanced aircraft, as long as they establish a long-term cooperative relationship, they will be able to buy them in the future when the other side's advanced fighter jets become obsolete.
Besides the hot news brought by the airshow, another news item also sparked heated discussions.
This news is about the disappearance of some top scientists from various countries.
These missing scientists cover various fields, and all of them disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Many countries suspect that these scientists were kidnapped by an unknown organization.
"Seriously? These scientists disappeared and not a single country has found out who did it?"
"Aren't these scientists all under protection? Who has the ability to kidnap them?"
"Could it be aliens? Did the Trisolarans invade and then physics disappeared, which is why they've gone missing?"
"Don't be ridiculous, The Three-Body Problem. I think these people probably went to Loli Island, that's why we can't see them."
Netizens have offered various speculations about the scientists' disappearance.
After all, this whole thing seems really outrageous, and these missing experts and professors were all under protection.
If someone goes missing, it wouldn't be too surprising to most people.
With over a dozen people disappearing at once, is the country where these scientists live just sitting around doing nothing?
They didn't even know how their own scientists disappeared.
Inside the CIA, in the Eagle Sauce Country.
John had returned to the Eagle Sauce Country a few days ago, and the first thing he did upon his return was to meet with members of the House of Representatives.
Because of the failure of this operation, the House of Representatives was very dissatisfied with him.
If he hadn't finally produced the footage of the space carrier, those old fogies in the House of Representatives wouldn't have let it go so easily.
The FBI was originally in charge of investigating Jack's case, but now he has taken over, and John is already under pressure from all sides.
To date, they have not achieved much, which has naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the lawmakers.
Inside the meeting room, senior CIA officials were gathered together.
John began by saying:
"I've gathered everyone here today to discuss a few things. The first is the J-20 that Dragon Country recently unveiled. We're required to investigate how Dragon Country developed this metallic coating technology!"
The people in the conference room were all talking animatedly, clearly aware of the airshow.
A senior executive said:
"Director, I've seen the airshow video. That J-20 had the ability to change color, and the aerospace carrier we discovered in the Golden Triangle seemed to have the same capability. Could Dragon Country's new coating technology have originated from the Golden Triangle?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Indeed, as this CIA official said, the ability of Dragon Country's J-20 fighter jet to change color is very similar to the space carriers they had seen before.
John said in a deep voice, "That is indeed possible."
Without evidence, this can only be speculation.
"There's another matter, concerning the disappearance of Professor Harvey and others. According to our intelligence, a total of seventeen scientists and researchers have gone missing, eight of whom are from our Eagle Sauce Country!"
John's face was very gloomy. The Golden Triangle issue hadn't been resolved yet, and now this kind of thing had popped up.
Professor Harvey was a towering figure in the field of physics, and his disappearance caused a great stir.
John had also received orders from his superiors to find out how Harvey and the others disappeared, and to locate them.
Harvey and his ilk are all valuable assets to the Eagle Sauce Country; losing even one of them would be a huge loss for the Eagle Sauce Country.
"Chief, I remember that Professor Harvey's lab is protected by the military. Who could have taken him away so quietly?" someone asked.
Top researchers like Harvey are always protected when they go out; how could they suddenly disappear?
John said with a solemn expression:
"If anyone in the world could take Professor Harvey away from a heavily guarded laboratory without anyone noticing, it would be only one person."
"This person is Jack, and don't forget, Jack has the ability to become invisible!"
