Chapter 18: Under the Surveillance of the Ministry of National Security

As soon as the design sketches were uploaded, they quickly spread across the internet, attracting the attention of many interested people.

"Come take a look, boss, what do you think of these design sketches?"

"Just a moment, won't be long. I'll take a look."

"This is simply breathtaking! How many pages do you think there are?"

"It's hard to believe this was done in just one night."

"I just peeked at the airport designs. Still processing, but the first impression is simply amazing!"

"The underground duct designs of Yan City are something out of the ordinary. I would never have imagined they could be elaborated in a single night, unless I saw them with my own eyes."

"I estimated these designs to be worth hundreds of millions, but now I realize how much I was underestimating."

"It was an underdeveloped land. From soil tests to dimension measurements and project drawings... Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble. I can't imagine how many professional designers were there last night. And the surveyors managed to produce such a perfect design in such a short time."

"From these project drawings, we can make some conjectures. Only a handful of companies in the world have the capacity to design a country in such a short time! Would it be DESTROY Architects or Foster and Partners?"

"I believe Isozaki Arata Studio is more likely, as they are closer to the nation Yan Guo."

The drawings of the first phase of the Yan Guo Kingdom have piqued the curiosity of designers around the world.

The more they analyzed these drawings, the more incredible they seemed.

If it were just a project drawing, it wouldn't be anything special.

But these drawings were completed overnight.

And on a deserted island where no one has ever been!

The design team calculated and came to a conclusion.

Yan City, the airport, the highway, the port...

To complete the drawings of these places, there must have been tens of thousands of surveyors and designers there last night!

And not just ordinary designers, but the best in the industry!

Japan.

Maki Aida, president of Isozaki Arata Studio, suddenly received a call from the Department of Homeland Security.

"Last night? I had a rest after returning home from Kyoto... Completing the project and planning a city overnight? Impossible, no one in this world can do it!"

"Okay, I understand, I'll take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Maki Aida clicked on a link sent by the other party. Upon opening it, he was greeted with a multitude of designer drawings.

To Maki Aida, however, these designer drawings were a true work of art.

He nodded as he observed them: "It's incredibly professional, and every detail is meticulously thought out. These designer drawings are perfect!"

However, as soon as these praises escaped his lips, what was said on the phone echoed in his mind, and his brows furrowed.

Were these designer drawings really completed overnight?

And on a deserted island, no less?

Maki Aida found this impossible.

He accessed the internet and found the country Yan Guo mentioned by the other party, clicking to watch Chen Yang's live broadcast.

More than half an hour later, Maki Aida was bewildered.

His design team was one of the top ten in the world. But even he couldn't fathom creating such professional designs in a single night. This completely defied logic!

"There's definitely a consortium behind this!" Maki Aida asserted to himself. Only that way would it be possible to accomplish such a monumental amount of work.

Not only him, but design teams in many countries around the world had received calls from national security departments.

Chen Yang and his Yan Guo Kingdom, founded less than two days ago, also came into the sight of national security ministries from various countries after this live broadcast.

Major financial groups are also closely watching.

National security ministries from various countries and major financial groups have a common question in their minds: who is behind Yan Guo? What exactly is the organization behind it trying to support Yan Guo?
