Three days ago, when everyone left, they were all alone. Three days later, when they boarded the special car again to the secret base in the Northwest, they were all a large group of people, a big family.
Just like Ye Fan, this time he brought his parents and grandparents who were still alive, in addition to Pang Bo.
Although Pang Bo was the only outsider in the special car, Pang Bo and Ye Fan were college classmates and had a good relationship. They had also been to Ye Fan's home more than once. Therefore, Pang Bo and Ye Fan's parents and grandparents knew each other.
They are considered strangers, so the atmosphere in the car is not bad.
"Ye Zi, to be honest, even now, I feel like I'm in a dream. I can't believe it at all." Pang Bo said in surprise as he looked at the convoy in front of the special car and behind.
Not to mention the private car pick-up and drop-off, there are also vehicles in front and behind the car specially designed to protect safety. What kind of treatment is this?
Isn’t this how male protagonists and male villains are treated in urban novels?
Could it be that this is not the normal real world, but the story of the return of a certain urban exiled soldier king?
"You'll get used to it after seeing it too much..."
Recalling his changes over the past few days, Ye Fan felt that it was difficult to describe with simple words. Therefore, Ye Fan felt that Pang Bo's surprise was quite normal.
Because he was also so surprised at the beginning.
While Ye Fan was still on the road, Xiong Yan and Chu Xuan had already arrived. After getting off the special car, Xiong Yan couldn't help but stretch.
"It's so remote and desolate. The further you go here, the more desolate it becomes. There are not many people in the land thousands of miles away. In the past, just looking at the paper data, I only thought that the Northwest was very desolate, but now I see it with my own eyes.
, how desolate this place is!”
The total area of the Northwest starts at 3 million square kilometers, but the total population is less than 100 million people.
A place as big as Hong Kong Island has a population of over seven million.
The Central Plains Province covers an area of 167,000 square kilometers and has a population of 10 million, which is more than the entire northwest combined.
Put the above three data together and compare them a little, and you can understand how desolate the Northwest is!
In the past, this was how Xiong Yan was compared.
But today, he first took a car, then a train, and then a car again. What he saw and heard along the way refreshed his understanding of the Northwest again.
The population of the Northwest is not evenly distributed, but is densely concentrated in a few areas. In other words, the vast majority of the Northwest is a large uninhabited land with no development at all.
Even many places have a primitive style.
The most primitive Gobi Desert!
The most primitive salt-alkali land!
The most primitive swamp!
The most primitive woodland (less)!
The most primitive desert!
Anyway, there are relatively few people who have anything to do with living people!
"This is also for the sake of confidentiality. By the way, it can also develop the northwest and carry out large-scale infrastructure construction. In short, there are many benefits."
"This is not a few decades ago. At that time, Daxia did not have much economic contact with foreign countries. In many places, there were no foreigners all year round. Many people have never had any contact with foreigners in their lives."
"But things are different now. With economic development, our country's economic ties with foreign countries are getting closer and closer. There are more and more people who have met foreigners and traveled to foreign countries. It is impossible to monitor them at all."
Even Chu Xuan didn't have a good solution.
Theoretically speaking, anyone who has met foreigners and anyone who has been abroad may be a spy and may inadvertently send information to relevant foreign agencies.
But Daxia really does not have that much energy to censor everyone who studies abroad or travels to Chu State, nor does it have enough energy to censor everyone who has met foreigners.
Especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there are very few people who have never seen foreigners and have never had contact with foreigners.
To take a step back, even if you have never met foreigners and have never been abroad, does that mean you are definitely not a spy for a foreign intelligence agency?
Of course not!
And the Internet!
In the Internet age, you don’t know whether the other person is a person or a dog, and you don’t know whether the person opposite is a Daxia person or a foreign person.
You don't even know that your inadvertent words may reveal information.
You didn't even realize you were leaking information.
This is the horror of the information age!
Something you say inadvertently becomes the key to leaking secrets.
Are you here for the investigation?
Can't find it!
Therefore, it can only be done across the board!
Therefore, among certain departments in Daxia, those who have personally gone abroad will not be accepted, and even those whose immediate family members have experienced going abroad will not be accepted.
"In today's era, there are so many ways to collect intelligence that it is impossible to guard against it. The other party's intelligence personnel only need to regularly collect the list of teachers who have asked for leave in the university, and they can quickly discover that there are a lot of green peppers and a lot of research.
The young researchers at the institute have all taken leave recently and disappeared."
"Then, they only need to collect the list of people who have asked for leave, and then carefully study and compare them to directly draw the conclusion that Daxia is conducting a secret research."
"Judging from the number of people asking for leave, they can deduce that the level of this secret research is no less powerful than the mushroom eggs of the past."
"Then, they can make relevant speculations based on Daxia's current situation, and then based on the speculations, they can collect data on certain aspects of Daxia to verify their conjectures."
"If this project is controllable nuclear fusion, then they can directly verify the trends of our country's experts on this project, and can view our country's latest policies on petroleum, and even policy changes in the past year."
"If the project is aerospace, they can also look up the movements of corresponding experts."
"In short, there are traces of the establishment of any project. They only need to make bold guesses, and then combined with Daxia's recent policy changes and anomalies, and more research, they can make a guess."
This is the intelligence analysis capability that a truly big and powerful country should have.
Can you hide it?
If Daxia invented controllable nuclear fusion, would there be no changes in its petroleum policy?
In terms of infrastructure and even carbon emissions, policies will definitely change. Even if the policies remain unchanged, can we still find out the recent changes of some large state-owned enterprises?
The above information is all public!
Any ordinary person can look it up online!
"It's just that they never imagined that this time's project would be to study spiritual energy recovery. Therefore, no matter how bold they make assumptions, how they collect information, and verify their guesses, the final guess results must be inaccurate."
Hearing this, Xiong Yan nodded and shook his head: "Beautiful Country must know, and other countries will be able to guess it after they know the secret of spiritual energy recovery."
"So what if you guess it? Even if the whole world knows that there is a research base for spiritual energy recovery hidden in the secret base in the Great Northwest, what will happen?"
"Daxia is not some small country that can be said to have large-scale dangerous weapons with washing powder. Even if Daxia puts everything on the table, what can other countries do? Today, it is no longer more than a hundred years ago.
The era when any great power could sign unequal treaties simply by sending warships has long passed!"
