I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

presidential palace.

John twisted his facial features the whole time to read the report in his hand, pinched his chin and turned to the front, then back to the last page.

After looking at it many times, he raised his eyebrows and asked Claire and Sullivan, who had the same strange expressions on their faces:

"The Chinese... have colluded with aliens and received their technical assistance?!"

John put his finger to his lips, his eyes were unfocused, and his brain entered a brief shutdown state.

If before he thought David Ursnow was a mystic with persecutory delusions and a UFO madman, now he really wanted to question his mental state.

Because he actually swore to issue a report, stating that the Chinese people not only knew that they were investigating aliens, but had actually been in contact with aliens for a long time.

What’s even more outrageous is that according to him, XAP is a product launched by agents of alien civilization, and it can develop rapidly at an unreasonable speed. Its founder, Lin Ju, is either an alien in disguise or an intermediary liaison.

In John's view, this is no longer a problem of aliens, but a problem of the spread of crisisism in the entire Thirteenth Office, because this report is also signed by the entire Thirteenth Office.

In other words, the 13th Office, which includes more than 30 scientific elites and more than 60 think tank experts, recognizes this judgment to a certain extent.

However, this is because the report did not say anything, and finally set the possibility between 45% and 65%, but this can almost be regarded as fact for intelligence work.

This stunning report passed through the staff team before being submitted, but they still put it on the table.

John now doubted that he was living in a dream, and tried to tear apart the two illusions in front of him with sharp eyes.

"President, David's assertion... is indeed somewhat exaggerated, but it is not unfounded."

Sullivan obviously doesn’t believe that XAP is an alien lackey, but he has his own ideas:

“Before Office 13 made this conclusion, it asked the Hexagon to cooperate in summarizing relevant intelligence data over the past three years, and indeed found many problems.

We conducted a detailed investigation into the technical development and capital flow of XAP and confirmed the two biggest doubts:

First, the source of a large number of high-end and systematic technologies is unknown, and while a large number of talents have been gathered in a short period of time, the confidentiality work is extremely good. In the past three years, the Intelligence Bureau has sent 6 batches of 17 spies in a row. However, once they entered, there was no news again.

It is difficult for us to cultivate excellent Chinese agents, and almost all the elites are lost. As for bribery, it has no effect at all. Even the lowest employees will flatly refuse. XAP is simply an information black hole, and any spying method is ineffective. .

Information intrusions were repeatedly blocked. At first we couldn't break into the firewalls. Later we discovered that they used independent hardware systems and ternary internal networks, which in principle made hackers and physical backdoors ineffective.

Second, the relationship between XAP and their government is too close. The government continues to inject huge amounts of funds into them through various channels. The think tank believes that it may be because of some hidden projects, but the scale of those funds is also too large. According to statistics, it exceeds 15 billion US dollars. !

More than 15 billion US dollars were injected for some ulterior purposes. The cost of the Artemis project was not so high in previous years!

Regardless of whether it is related to aliens or not, they are hiding some huge conspiracy! "

"$15 billion?!"

This is the first time John has heard such clear figures. As a rich man, his total net worth is just over US$3 billion, most of which is based on stocks.

It is simply unimaginable how much the US$15 billion actually injected into the manufacturing industry can do, not to mention that in China, the effect of this US$15 billion may be equivalent to US$20 billion.

If so much money is really flowing into XAP silently, what terrible things are they brewing? !

"And this number continues to increase. Our insiders have brought some news. The proportion of military expenditures will increase again in the next two years. At the same time, the upper levels of the General Armament Department are making big moves. There should be some big secret."

Sullivan calmly finished his inference, and Claire immediately continued:

"Their deep space exploration plan has also been clarified. It will be officially announced in about two days tomorrow. A total of six projects will be launched at the same time, four detectors of the same batch, a spacecraft of the same level as 'Nine Chapters', and a A nuclear-powered space shuttle.

Mr. President, what do you see? "

John, who was still thinking about $15 billion, looked up and thought for a moment, then replied:

"It seems... there is a feeling of eagerness, um... to do the best in one go and to play out all the cards."

"That's it. They want the space shuttle to carry out exploration missions to Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. This is not normal. It seems that they have to do this for some reasons, even if it will cause a huge waste of resources."

In Claire's view, the nuclear-powered space shuttle is obviously designed for the Earth-Moon system, which is just in time to cope with the huge lunar development plan. It is not unfeasible to carry out deep space missions, but the implication of rushing a duck into flight is too strong.

The words he and Sullivan said repeated in John's mind, and after a while he suddenly asked:

"'Typhoon' is going to explore Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn?"

"To be precise, its final destination is Saturn. The leaked internal news is that they are planning to reach Saturn within a year, so it is impossible to slow down in the middle, so Mars and Jupiter just took a closer look, threw a probe and left. "

"Then can I think that the purpose of XAP is Saturn."

"perhaps……"

“We must grasp the key points. Although NACA has also proposed a deep space plan, it rushes to complete a series of tasks before we have taken any concrete actions... Only the alliance has the possibility to do this, and they will not.

Jack said a lot, XAP has problems, and there are big problems, even if it has nothing to do with aliens - even now I somewhat believe that they have something to do with aliens.

We need to focus on XAP’s movements, not to stop them, but to see what they want to do. I think the ‘Fifth Man’ incident is also related to them. Developing the moon is not just as simple as what we see. "

John keenly grasped the key points among a bunch of mixed information. If the degree of ambiguity of the M incident is 100, XAP can be regarded as at least 70. The intelligence agency and think tanks have not encountered this kind of thing many times.

"As for David's report...well, I won't comment on it for the time being, but let them continue to follow up the investigation and uncover as many secrets as possible. We can do more against our opponents on Earth than against aliens."
