Hearing Feng Yi's answer, Yue Gengyang was stunned.
Ji Fan, who was working on documents next to him, also raised his eyes and looked over.
The couple was really surprised by Feng Yi's choice. After all, Feng Yi had always been supportive of the Butterfly Project before this. The "Survivor" variety show that Feng Chi went to film also had Feng Yi's factor in it.
.
"Why?" Yue Gengyang was curious about the reason for Feng Yi's change of attitude.
"I'm a little worried." Feng Yi said.
As the size of the cyclone increases, problems that were originally easily ignored are magnified and exposed during the process of combating the cyclone with meteorological weapons.
This time Feng Yi saw it clearly.
The project team did not calculate energy matter.
Energy matter can affect celestial phenomena!
Feng Yi, who relies on this energy material to grow and develop and "moves wind and rain", knows very well what changes it can bring!
"This weapon is not mature yet and needs to be continuously tested and improved in the open ocean. If we quickly move to the next step and conduct offshore tests, if we are unlucky, it may develop in the opposite direction. It may develop to... a very serious level."
Yue Gengyang discovered that when Feng Yi said these words, he was not emotionally entangled with doubts, but he was saying them calmly and with certainty. Perhaps this was not a guess, but a statement of facts.
Although the Butterfly Project team brought together top talents from around the world, Yue Gengyang still believed in Feng Yi more on this matter.
While they were talking, others were discussing tomorrow's vote.
This is the building where the joint security bureau and some project-related personnel temporarily live.
"The exercise was a great success, and we can already see the results at tomorrow's meeting!"
"But there will be no shortage of doubts."
"Doubts? The Butterfly Project was formed amid doubts. Along the way, have we faced too many doubts?"
"Doubts are doubts, and the final choice is another matter. For example, Raymond doesn't like this project, but this does not prevent him from voting in favor."
"The Ancestral Factory should also agree. I don't know Ji Fan, but Yue Gengyang is a person who knows the situation very well, and Feng Yi, an expert certified by the Joint Security Bureau, has had a positive and supportive attitude from the beginning.
"
"Well, as long as the important parties can vote in favor, there will be no problem."
In another building slightly closer to Feng Yi and the others.
This is where the national team members rest.
In a room on a certain floor, an old man took the tea from his grandson and looked at the secretary who walked in.
The secretary reported: "We have received the intention choices from domestic entrepreneurs, and most of them agree..."
Regardless of whether they agree or disagree, at least their intention has been determined.
"But Mr. Yue from the Ancestor Factory has not yet given a reply."
The old man's eyes narrowed: "Yue Gengyang, there's no reply yet?"
I thought that the Ancestor Factory had an obvious supportive attitude, but now it seems... there has been a change.
After thinking about it, the old man looked at the time and asked the secretary to go to the building where the Ancestral Factory team was located and talk to Yue Gengyang face to face.
The current control in the base is a little looser than before, but it is still restricted to move around freely. However, such restrictions apply to most guests, and they are not among these majority.
The secretary didn't leave for long and came back soon.
The old man was a little surprised.
You came back so soon and didn’t even have a few words to talk?
"When I went over, Mr. Yue and his colleagues were also having a meeting. Mr. Yue came out to talk to me for a while. It is very likely that they would vote against it."
The secretary recounted the conversation at that time and handed over a piece of paper: "This is written by Mr. Yue."
The old man put on his glasses, took the note and unfolded it——
[Respect small things and be careful, don’t miss the right time. Don’t count blessings and worry about misfortunes.]
The old man looked at the note and frowned.
The young man next to him was a little curious, and the old man motioned for him to come over: "What can you see?"
The young man was an entourage this time and was brought to the table by his family elders. He also knew Mr. Yue, the founder of the Ancestor Factory.
He read the words on the note, thought for a moment, and said: "Looking at the literal meaning, it is a reminder to be cautious and nip it in the bud. Does Mr. Yue think that this matter will bring more harm than good?"
The old man shook his head slightly, but did not answer directly.
The young man couldn't tell whether his grandfather approved it, but he could see that the old man seemed to be a little confused. I don't know whether it was about tomorrow's voting meeting, or about Yue Gengyang himself?
The next day.
The guests went to the venue.
Only those who have actually accepted the invitation have the right to vote at this meeting, and the accompanying persons are not included in this list.
Although their attitude will not directly determine the direction of Project Butterfly, it will affect the follow-up.
A joint committee composed of important members of the Butterfly Project team and representatives of member states will make the final decision based on the results of this vote.
If the opposition is too loud, the joint committee may reject the project team's decision to immediately proceed to the next phase of testing.
There is a limit on the number of people attending the voting meeting, and each invitee can only bring up to two more people to attend.
At the Ancestral Factory, although two people were invited, there were still only three people attending the meeting - Yue Gengyang, his wife and Feng Yi.
Generally speaking, the invitee will bring along an assistant secretary, bodyguard or senior consultant who is a part-time translator, and two people will be selected based on actual needs.
The combination here at Ancestral Factory is truly surprising.
What do Yue Gengyang and his wife think?
Is it too childish in this situation, or is it too pampering for this junior?
Even if you bring a junior to gain experience, he has already seen the scene of the actual combat drill yesterday, so let him participate in this kind of situation today?
To be honest, even my own son cannot enjoy such treatment!
Moreover, except for Feng Yi, Yue Gengyang and his wife did not bring any other assistants or consultants. With their status, it is okay to bring one or two more.
Does this mean that the Ancestral Factory did not pay too much attention to this voting meeting and was just a formality?
Feng Yi followed Yue Gengyang into the auditorium and sat down at the assigned seat.
Only three of them came today and did not bring anyone else with them. Yue Gengyang considered that there might be some communication with Feng Yi during the meeting that would be inconvenient for outsiders to hear.
Since Ancestral Factory is not an investor, it is not in the front row.
The seats are not the seats in a traditional venue, but fan-shaped areas, the kind with desks and chairs, which are also separated from other people.
There is also an electronic voting machine on the table. You can press your choice, and you can also check who has voted and which choice they have made.
Soon, the meeting started.
The spokesperson delivered a speech.
He introduced the atmosphere and ocean arrays and sky satellite networks that have been established since the establishment of the project.
The general function of the Butterfly Project satellite network was introduced, as well as the project team's measures to deal with accidents. Each satellite corresponds to a replacement satellite. Once a failure occurs, it will be replaced as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also emphasized that the abnormal climate periods experienced in the past are just warnings for the planet. The sixth mass extinction is about to come, or has already come. It may be a long process, or it may occur in a more drastic way. Human beings need to do something
So well prepared.
Only by mastering sufficient technology can humans survive such a disaster.
Project Butterfly has taken a critical step, a very successful step. Next, we plan to enter the next phase of trials, and we are very eager to get everyone's support.
This meeting is fair, just and open.
The result of this voting is very important, please cast your vote carefully!
The spokesperson also reminded some opponents that even if you are opposed to it, you should consider the actual interests.
The meteorological weapons developed now have been tested many times in the ocean, and everyone has seen the success of actual combat exercises. Therefore, the project team is considering conducting the next phase of testing, which may be closer to land.
Being close to the land means entering people's field of vision and affecting the lives of many people.
In this regard, some of the guests agreed and some opposed.
Agreeing party——
Further bold experiments can be carried out during active storm seasons, which is conducive to the improvement of the project.
Opponent:
Is this decision too radical? Are there still many flaws and hidden risks? We cannot directly test it in areas close to people's lives to avoid uncontrollable situations.
The spokesman said that he understood everyone's concerns and that safety was basically controllable. Prior to this, there had been a heated debate within the project team and the joint committee, and they were inclined to move to the next phase of the experiment.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the rapid advancement of the project, but if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is worth doing!
"This is a great project. We have built an ark that can protect ourselves! Even if the abnormal weather period returns, we don't have to worry about being beaten without the ability to fight back. We are confident enough..."
As the meeting progressed, questions and answers continued, and the real-time number of voters was displayed on the screen in front.
More and more people are voting, but still less than one-third make the decision.
At this time, Feng Yi saw someone asking a question in front of him and also asked a sensitive question.
"It is undeniable that this is indeed an amazing and great project. I admire it very much. At the same time, I would like to ask whether such a weapon will be used in the military? Military cooperation will definitely affect war. This is the future development of science and technology.
Is it inevitable? Or is it the beginning of mankind’s destruction?”
Project side: "Please rest assured that we have established a reliable security system, and the joint committee will supervise this. In terms of military..."
Feng Yi did not pay all his attention to the Q&A in the venue. The person who asked the question just now was arranged by the project team.
Feng Yi has been observing several other important personnel related to the Butterfly Project. He does not know those people, but he can judge the inner reactions of those people based on their emotional information.
During the speaker's opening speech, an engineer lowered his eyes. Although his face seemed to be smiling with confidence and honor, his true emotions were not like that. When certain keywords were involved, his emotions were extremely contradictory.
It feels like there are two different concepts constantly colliding.
Perhaps, the project team is not unaware of the problem.
The number of voters slowly increased.
The great investor Raymond also asked questions.
Although he personally doesn't like this project, the benefits are too tempting. But to agree without saying a word would be disrespectful to him. His appearance should be slightly modified, and he still needs to make a symbolic struggle.
Raymond looked serious: "Can humans bear the consequences of confronting nature? Although this exercise was successful, it does not mean that we can truly compete with nature."
Project side: "It's not a complete confrontation. We are just saving ourselves, taking the initiative to fight against disastrous weather, and saving more people. We are just in the exploratory and trial stage now, and we still have a long way to go. However, we already have a
Good start, isn't it?"
Yue Gengyang looked at the rising number of voters and, after Raymond, also spoke up.
"Is it too hasty to carry out the next step of offshore testing now? After all, this involves many cities on the seaside and tens of millions or hundreds of millions of residents."
The project team said calmly: "We have carefully considered it. If we want to improve it, we need further tests. For example, when you research new drugs, you always need to do clinical trials. I believe Mr. Yue you can understand."
Yue Gengyang: "I understand, but I doubt whether this project is safe enough to carry out 'clinical trials'? No offense, I'm just worried about my company, the headquarters of Ancestral Factory is near the sea..."
Yue Gengyang answered questions and answers with people from the project side, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Yue Gengyang's questions came one after another.
Raymond, the great investor, found this scene extremely awkward, and his old eyes flashed with shrewdness.
"Yue's attitude is wrong. It seems like something happened that we don't know about!"
He has had many interactions with Yue Gengyang, and he thinks he understands this business elite who is only half his age.
But on today's occasion, on the important issue of Project Butterfly, Yue Gengyang showed a side that was difficult for him to understand.
Is Yue Gengyang a person with this kind of temperament?
Or is Yue Gengyang just being overly cautious in this matter?
As the leader of a world-renowned pharmaceutical giant like Ancestral Factory, is Yue Gengyang a saint? Is he worried that his own company is doing well, and worried about people elsewhere?
I, Raymond, don’t believe a word of it!
Are you holding something bad?
In fact, there were many people present who had similar thoughts to Raymond, and they were quietly waiting for Yue Gengyang's next words.
The speaker at the podium also became more vigilant.
Yue Gengyang glanced at Feng Yi sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye and continued to ask the spokesperson:
"I just heard you introduce the large model of Project Butterfly. Every time from target selection to attack, it is necessary to collect huge and comprehensive meteorological data and perform large-scale and high-precision complex calculations in a very short time. I am very impressed.
difficulty level!”
The project spokesperson smiled back.
Yue Gengyang also smiled, and then continued: "I would like to ask..."
Yue Gengyang looked at the other party, his tone was not strong, and there was a polite smile on his face, but the words he asked were like a heavy hammer, which was bloody:
"Excuse me, are there any unknown variables in the large model of this project?"
There was a sudden silence in the venue.
On the podium in front, the speaker who had been able to answer calmly just now had his smile frozen for a moment.
Several important personnel in the Butterfly Project team also changed their colors at this time.
Even if some people reacted quickly and temporarily restrained their expressions, many smart people present had already captured the shocked moment on their faces.
Andre didn't mind the matter and shouted: "Oh yes! Your expressions tell me that it does have unknown variables! It is also very important! Maybe it is a serious safety hazard? An unknown variable may cause the plan to be damaged."
The result may be completely different! You are dishonest!"
In the auditorium, those who were about to press the voting machine hesitated at this time.
On the big screen in front, the number of "voted" that had been slowly increasing stopped.
The core members of the project team were extremely shocked at this time, and their first reaction was:
