Chapter 1,235 Power Is a Glass of Poisonous Wine

After the call with Wu Changfeng ended, it didn't take long for calls from Moscow and Germany respectively. TXT.

Still using the same rhetoric as before, Jiang Chen promised the two allies a series of benefits such as "holding a biotechnology summit to disclose the research progress on devil bugs" and "inviting your scientists to participate in joint research". Allies hung up the phone cheerfully.

The excited tone made Jiang Chen feel ashamed after hanging up the phone.

Of course, he felt ashamed for just a second or two, then turned around and forgot about the matter.

After breakfast, Natasha went to the Russian Embassy, ​​Xia Shiyu drove to work as usual, and Ayesha went to the headquarters of the ghost agent. Jiang Chen was the only one left in the villa.

Back in the study, Jiang Chen sat on the chair and clicked on the holographic screen of his watch.

"Call Lin Ling."

"As commanded."

Jane's holographic bust blinked and quickly dispersed into countless light particles, reorganizing into a holographic screen in the air and making a video call to Lin Ling's laboratory.

When the call was answered, Lin Ling still held the electronic welding gun in her hand.

Behind her is a bare doll with a large hole in the doll's chest, through which exposed wires and motherboards can be vaguely seen. As early as two months ago, she started to design this cyborg according to Jiang Chen's instructions, and now it is almost completed.

Throwing the electronic welding gun in her hand on the test bench, Lin Ling sat down on the chair, supported her chin with one hand and looked at Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone.

"It's really strange. You called me early in the morning to tell me something."

"There is indeed something going on..."

Jiang Chen sorted out the words in his mind and explained to Lin Ling the underground ruins he saw under the Mars 071 Mine yesterday through a drone, as well as the last memory of the Gaia civilization, using layman's language as much as possible. Read it again.

Because the amount of information was a bit large, Jiang Chen talked for about half an hour before he explained the whole thing clearly.

After listening to Jiang Chen's description of Gaia civilization, Lin Ling opened her mouth with a surprised expression.

"Gaia civilization? Devil bug? I have never heard of it at all..."

"Didn't you hear the news about the development of Mars before the war?" Jiang Chen frowned.

He asked doubtfully, "I remember you once said that Pan-Asian Cooperation, the Soviet Union, and NATO have all established their own research stations on Mars..."

Before the war, the three major forces had developed Mars resources to a limited extent. I just don’t know why, but this kind of development only stays at the level of scientific research, without building a self-sufficient colony on Mars, let alone trying to develop the minerals of Mars...

But even if this is the case, there is no reason why Pan-Asia, the Soviet Union, and NATO, the three giants that dominate the 22nd century, cannot discover the secrets of Mars.

"Maybe, but this kind of secret won't be disclosed to ordinary people, right?" Lin Ling rolled her eyes, looked at Jiang Chen's "I thought you knew" look and complained, "You think I am an encyclopedia?" ? At most, I only know a little more than ordinary people, okay?"

Lin Ling once said that she had read her father's research materials.

And the part that she knew better than ordinary people basically came from her father's computer and information.

Obviously, Dr. Lin’s research field has nothing to do with extraterrestrial civilization. Perhaps only those on the colonial ship know how far the Pan-Asian cooperation has gone in researching the Gaia civilization.

"I don't know just from what you said... Well, just get me a copy of the devil's worm's tissue cells, blood cells, brain cells, etc., and just put it in a 20ml test tube. It just so happens that my sister Some of us know biotechnology and may be able to help you," Lin Ling said.

The inter-dimensional material transmission device on Coconut Island can already transport hamster-level living creatures. It is more than enough to use it to send a few test tubes to the end of the world.

"Then please. But we have to wait until the end of this month at the earliest. The specimens have just been packaged and boarded. It will take three weeks at the fastest to fly back to Halo City from Mars."

The Seagull class ship on standby in the Mars synchronous orbit still uses the previous generation engine, and its speed is definitely not as fast as the ship on which the Marines rushing to the Mars colony for reinforcements.

"Then let's wait until the end of the month to discuss this matter... By the way, do you really plan to build a body for that AI?" Lin Ling looked at Jiang Chen with an uneasy expression and asked as if to confirm, "Is this really true? Okay? It's an advanced artificial intelligence..."

"It's just a body. As long as we fill its server with thermite, it shouldn't do anything that might cause me unnecessary misunderstandings." Jiang Chen shrugged and looked at it with interest. Looking at Lin Ling, "Speaking of which, I remember in the 005 shelter, when I stuffed thermite into its motherboard, didn't you still call me a prodigal? Why are you so scared now?"

"Tsk, I don't care about you!" Remembering her useless look when they first met, Lin Ling blushed and glared at Jiang Chen, "When there is a problem, you can solve it yourself."

After saying that, Lin Ling angrily hung up the communication without giving Jiang Chen a chance to tease her.

…

Shangjing City, west of the Forbidden City and south of Aoyu Bridge.

At the gate of the heavily guarded community, a car with a military A0 license plate parked slowly in front of the car's gear lever.

A soldier wearing a special operations brigade uniform came forward, checked the driver's ID, performed a standard military salute, stepped aside, and then gestured to the guard at the checkpoint to let the car pass.

The car stopped in front of a beautiful mansion. Wu Changfeng took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car. Under the leadership of two bodyguards in suits and ties, he walked towards the mansion.

Sitting in the tea room sipping tea, the old man who was originally calm and composed saw Wu Changfeng walking into the room. He immediately put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a slightly anxious tone.

"How's the situation?"

"He agreed!" Restraining his excitement, Wu Changfeng tried to keep his expression calm, "Star Ring Trade will hold a summit at the end of this month to disclose its findings on Mars to the outside world..."

After listening to Wu Changfeng's words, the old man looked happy and nodded with a relieved smile.

"Agreed? That's great. You have done a very good job in this matter. It is a great achievement!"

"I don't dare," Wu Changfeng smiled modestly, "I just conveyed the central government's intention to him, I don't dare to take credit."

"Xiao Wu."

"What other instructions does the chief have?" Wu Changfeng said respectfully.

After staring at Wu Changfeng's face for a long time, the old leader suddenly spoke seriously.

"You're getting younger."

His heart stopped beating for an instant, the expression on Wu Changfeng's face became imperceptibly stiff, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

"It's good to be young. When I was in the local area, I often went to the mountains and countryside. The legs and feet of a forty-year-old are more flexible than a young man in his twenties." Not noticing anything unusual, the old man laughed. Laughing, he said with emotion, "Once this person is idle, he will become old."

"We have caught up with a great era, and what we need are capable talents like you! The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The future of the country depends on you, the new generation, to work hard."

The old chief seemed to be caught up in the memories of a certain eventful period, and began to talk about the past events.

After hearing the next few words, Wu Changfeng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.

"Thank you, Chief, for your cultivation."

It turns out I didn’t discover it…

To be honest, his heart was quite complicated, and he even hesitated to speak up and confess about the medicine to the old chief who promoted him. But in the end, he chose silence and did not tell the secret.

Just like Jiang Chen once told him.

Power is a poisonous drink.

Now, standing here, he added another sentence to this sentence.

So is eternal life.

If the two poisonous wines of power and immortality were mixed together, the poison would be more deadly than arsenic.

This is true both for individuals and for countries...
