Chapter 89: Not at a Loss_1

```

Jiang Yu continued to flip through the documents in his hand, "The Super Soldier program had yet to find the right person to "lead the charge." In order not to waste time, the Star Defense Department had already organized a team to start the preliminary work.

According to a file that is also permanently classified, many people in the Northwest Gobi have separately witnessed some people with strange appearances.

According to these eyewitness reports, during the 1980s, there had been numerous investigations into the Gobi.

The investigators found some clues at the time, speculating that these oddly looking people might be a race living in the desert, utterly disconnected from modern society.

They probably had a very small population and were even on the brink of extinction, which is why they were only occasionally spotted by people.

The initial preparatory work for the Super Soldier program was to find a location in the Gobi to construct a base, and to search for that race with the unusual appearances, to see if they could provide a gene of research value for the Super Soldiers.

After all, if they could survive under such harsh conditions in the desert, this race definitely possessed extraordinary qualities.

The result was that the advance team accidentally discovered "Black Square," hence the unpublicized part of the Star Warrior project had been delayed until now and not yet initiated.

The last page of the document was a written file appointing Jiang Yu as the person in charge of the Star Warrior project, and gave general requirements for the Super Soldier in a directional manner.

One direction was to adapt better to the space environment and to have sufficient individual combat capability in space.

Another direction was to find the limits of the human body.

Another direction was to highly intellectualize the human body through postnatal surgery, since there was no computer with sufficient computing power, the plan was to use the human brain to endow the intellectualized body with sufficient autonomy.

In the end, Jiang Yu was allowed to play freely, searching for other directions, but in any case, it was about finding ways to break through human limits and greatly enhance individual combat capabilities, to cause as much damage as possible to the invaders of the final battle.

The ultimate goal of the plan was that, even if humanity's space warships were all destroyed after the final battle, humanity could still maintain a sufficient armed force.

At that time, there would be attempts to engage in guerrilla warfare globally, in order to continue humanity's race on a small scale.

Jiang Yu returned the file to Chief Ji: "I will do everything in my power to complete this mission!"

Chief Ji nodded.

Chang Weisi had not yet finished reading the file in his hands, Jiang Yu guessed it must be assigning Chang Weisi to lead the project on "Black Square."

He tried to restrain himself from looking in Chang Weisi's direction, but still inadvertently caught sight of a few words: ...the direction of the Space Army's development...

Jiang Yu was startled, was Chang Weisi being tasked with building the Space Army?

Why was this appointment classified as top secret? Could it be that the construction of the Space Army also had some secret that could not be disclosed?

After finishing reading the file, Chang Weisi returned it to Chief Ji.

Chief Ji shook hands with each of them in turn: "I wish you both the successful completion of your missions."

He locked the metal box again and put it back into his briefcase.

On the subsequent journey, Jiang Yu and Chang Weisi did not mention their missions at all but instead talked about where to go for a good meal after returning to Beijing, as if they had not just read the file.

On returning to Beijing, Di Fengyi came to pick them up at the airport.

Once in the car, Jiang Yu saw that Di Fengyi did not look well and asked casually, "Sick?"

"No," Di Fengyi smiled awkwardly, "these past two days I've been nearly tormented to death by my family."

He briefly recounted the scenes of his parents, wife, and brother-in-law's family, scrounging and borrowing money everywhere, in order to buy an escape fund.

And he was baffled, why didn't his family believe him no matter how he explained it?

Upset at home, Di Fengyi had met up with some friends for a drink.

But the conversation turned to the escape fund again, and one friend he had grown up with actually knelt down and begged Di Fengyi for an escape fund spot for his own family.

```

Di Fengyi sighed, "Even I am starting to doubt whether there really is an escape plan."

Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head. On the way back, he had discussed escapeism with Chief Ji. The next special session of the UNGA was going to address the issue of escapeism.

The outcome didn't need predicting; they would certainly define escapeism as illegal.

By then, the truthfulness of these escape funds would be revealed to the world.

Ah, that's right, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered, hadn't Da Shi's son sold escape funds?

Should he remind Da Shi?

Then Jiang Yu shook his head; reminding Da Shi now might mean father and son would not be able to meet in the "best of times."

It was better not to intervene, after all, Da Shi's son only faced a few years in prison, with no danger to his life.

Di Fengyi said, "The panic caused by these escape funds isn't good. Should we mobilize our supporters to intervene?"

Jiang Yu shook his head, "There's no need for that. Just be careful in the future, the cultural company isn't our private property, we can't operate it however we want."

On this matter, Jiang Yu had always been very clear in his mind. Most of the company's key positions were staffed by the Star Defense Department personnel.

Especially as the company grew larger, any significant actions by the company had to be reported to Chief Ji, otherwise it could cause trouble.

Di Fengyi quickly nodded, indicating that he understood.

Jiang Yu added, "Have your family keep an eye on the news, this matter should be resolved in a couple of days."

With these words, Di Fengyi felt reassured. He casually asked, "Has your family not asked you for places?"

"They did. They asked at the end of the year before last, just when escapeism was beginning to emerge."

Recalling, Di Fengyi knew that Jiang Yu had a good relationship with his family. "What was your response?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely reserve a spot for Lele."

Di Fengyi could not help but laugh and cry, finally understanding where he had gone wrong.

Jiang Yu laughed, "My mentor once said that Chinese people are the smartest, all Jews must step aside.

"But as clever as they are, actually wise people are a minority.

"Your family is so smart, do you think they would believe you if you said there was no escape plan?"

Di Fengyi smacked his lips, "Smart has turned into a derogatory term in your mouth."

"I'm just telling the truth, I just hope that you can distinguish between cleverness and wisdom," Jiang Yu reminded.

"Since you know those escape funds are scams, you should take action quickly, so that your family and friends don't get cheated.

"Don't be too stubborn, regardless of whether there is an escape plan or not, the most important thing is not to suffer losses yourself, and to protect your family from losses!"

Di Fengyi immediately understood Jiang Yu's point and quickly called his father, saying he had secured a spot and told the old man not to go to others to buy anymore.

Jiang Yu continued, "Take half a day off later to sort out these trivial matters quickly, we have to make a trip in a couple of days."

Just as Jiang Yu had expected, that very evening, the written notice appointing him as the person in charge of the Star Warrior program was delivered to him.

Unlike the document he had seen on the plane, this notice only mentioned his appointment and had no specific work requirements.

Jiang Yu put away the notice and contacted Sixteen, agreeing to meet in Shanghai a few days later.

After all, Jiang Yu still owed Sixteen a few days of fatherhood!
