"What are you doing catching them alive? Just kill them directly to avoid future troubles. [Read full text]" Lin Chuanqing said.
Gao Xiaosong said: "If you want to know how he got here, there are several people here."
The Zhenhai was mobilized and began a carpet search of Dongsha Island in a state of first-level combat readiness. Several other travelers on the ship felt strange, but Lin Chuanqing only said that there were traces of pirate activities on the island, and that for safety reasons they had to search carefully.
Naturally, the search yielded no results. Even the graves of fishermen that were covered by shrubs were found, but no living people were found, and of course there were no traces of the latest human activities.
Although I was full of worries, I might not discover anything new if I stayed any longer, so I completed the task of digging struvite and returned home. The unloaded struvite stones immediately caused a scramble. In the end, under the policy of giving priority to agriculture, most of the struvite stones were returned to the Committee of Agriculture. The Ministry of Chemical Industry acquired the rest.
After listening to their report on the discovery of suspected modern ships on Dongsha Island, the Executive Committee held a secret hearing attended by the heads of core departments and powerful departments. The situation was reported at the meeting.
The news came as a surprise to everyone. If other wormholes really exist and someone else comes to this time and space, it will be a major threat to the Time Travel Group. Not to mention anything else, the truth behind the time-traveling group's reliance on creating the illusion of omnipotence will be exposed by this person. If he joins a certain force and uses the modern technology and knowledge he possesses to serve it, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
"Are you sure it's an American fishing boat?"
"I didn't say that." Lin Chuanqing said, "I just said: The iron frame of the 1u out of the sea is very similar to the tripod mast of the American ocean-going fishing vessel I have seen - almost exactly the same."
"Is it an American?" Everyone was a little panicked. Could it be that Xue Ziliang and Salina have other companions.
Ma Qianzhu said: "I recommend that these two Americans be arrested immediately."
"It's not good to have so much noise." Ran Yao objected, "The General Security Administration has reviewed them many times. There are only two agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who came to China to investigate the North American branch, and they came from the airport. Entry through customs. There is no problem of using fishing boats.”
"Could it be another ship in the North American helm?"
"Obviously it's impossible." Ran Yao said, "No one from North America mentioned this matter. Otherwise, the sinking of the ship on Dongsha Island would be a big deal, and it would be impossible not to mention it."
"I'm not sure what happened on the way." Ma Qianzhu said implicitly, "Americans, hmm, North America is at the helm. Niao Ren must have volunteered himself..."
There is something ominous about these words.
"There is no point in doubting this." Wu De said, "We can travel through wormholes. Maybe someone has also traveled through wormholes. It doesn't necessarily have to be related to one of our own people."
Wen Desi said: "Rather than doubting ourselves first, we should consider something more likely: If there are people from the same time and space as us who have traveled through time, what would our attitude be?"
"If there are only a few people who are willing to integrate into our group and abide by all our rules and regulations, you can consider accepting them," Wu De said.
"Agreed." Wen Desi said, "If these people have already voted for certain groups in this time and space, they cannot be considered for acceptance."
What to do if you don’t accept it? Even though you didn’t say it clearly, everyone knew what it meant. No one objected - compared to the natives of this time and space, this group of people were more afraid of people from the same time and space. Everyone agreed.
"Okay, I agree." Ma Qianxu said, "But if it is accepted, strict political review must be carried out and its use must be controlled for a long time."
"Having said that, it is still a question whether these people exist, right?" Ran Yao said, "The matter should be investigated thoroughly. People should be sent to Dongsha Island immediately, dive down to conduct a thorough investigation of the ship, and maybe I can get some useful information.”
Everyone agreed that the news would be kept secret for the time being, and Bai Guoshi, Lin Chuanqing and Gao Xiaosong all informed that this secret must be kept. As for subsequent matters, the Political Security Administration will be solely responsible for handling them. Ran Yao was immediately authorized to mobilize manpower and equipment to prepare for an inspection of the suspected shipwreck on Dongsha Island.
After the meeting, Ma Qianzhu kept Ran Yao behind:
"The Political Security Administration should launch an internal investigation." Ma Qianzhu pondered for a long time and finally put forward his opinion.
"Are you doubting the people who came to the North American helm?" The so-called few people who came to the North American helm are the Qian brothers, plus Zhou Weisen, who came by sailboat.
"No, it also includes those who come by plane." Ma Qianxu said. He stood up and walked around the office. "We must be on guard. Once we succeed, there will no longer be the United States in this parallel time and space. For To ensure that the founding process of the United States in this time and space will not disappear, maybe they have already planned to sabotage our actions..."
Ran Yao was stunned and didn't know what to say. Commissioner Ma’s words are not unreasonable, but the conspiracy theory is too strong. Furthermore, will the United States exist in parallel time and space? What is the U.S. government doing in the 21st century?
Ran Yao said cautiously: "I think this is unlikely." He continued, "Among the entire team, North America has the largest number of returnees. They are willing to give up everything and take their families with them to follow the travel group to a strange place. time and space, it can't be to sabotage our actions - if the Time Travel Group is destroyed, what good will it do to them? The US government may not be able to open a wormhole to take them back. If we collapse - they will follow Perish."
Ma Qianzhu looked at Ran Yao silently: "Well, what you said makes sense. But this matter is of great importance. We can't take our internal staff lightly. It's better to do an inventory to see if there are any suspicious people or people. thing."
"If an internal investigation is to be conducted, it must be approved in writing by the executive committee."
"I will bring it up at the next meeting."
Ran Yao returned to the office and thought carefully about Ma Qianzhu's words. His worries were certainly justified, but there was no sign that there was an insider within the Time Travel Group. If you start such an investigation rashly, once it is leaked, it will be like touching the tiger's butt.
He thought for a long time and decided to take the opportunity of the investigation to let Zhou Weisen participate in this operation - there were good reasons for letting him go - he was the only person in the crossing group with a diving license. He had to investigate the ship thoroughly.
If that ship is really related to the North American helmsman, there will always be some clues.
Ran Yao called Liu Zheng and asked him to immediately issue a document to organize a "Dongsha-Xisha expedition team." Liu Zheng wondered why this matter was assigned to the General Administration of Political Security.
"To tell you the truth, this is just a pretense." Ran Yao said, "Just follow the normal task process."
"Then do you want to take a scientific test, or just go for a ride-"
"Of course, it is a formal scientific examination. It is a completely formal task."
"To organize an inspection of this scale, I need the authorization from the executive committee."
"No problem." Ran Yao took out the document, "Here is the mission statement."
Zheng said meaningfully, "Are you going to designate certain people to send?"
"Bai Guoshi in your department, and Zhou Weisen, he can dive - I know he does not belong to your department. If you can provide a document and temporarily second him, it should be fine."
"Okay." Liu Zheng was confused and agreed.
When Zhou Weisen received a notice, he was asked to pack his luggage and prepare to leave immediately. He didn't know yet that he had become the subject of investigation. In the biological laboratory of a pharmaceutical factory, he is concentrating on his biology profession, which is also the most technically difficult category in the pharmaceutical factory: vaccine development.
"You want me to join the Dongsha-Xisha expedition team?" Zhou Weisen was confused, "I've just started doing my job, why are you asking me to go on an expedition again?"
He is good at outdoor activities, familiar with firearms, and has experience in wilderness survival and hunting. He has been serving as an outdoor activity instructor, serving the 6th Navy, special reconnaissance team and remote exploration team, and also teaches people to dive. He had just been transferred to a pharmaceutical factory as a biological researcher a few days ago, and he was suddenly asked to join the expedition team, which made him feel confused.
Doubts are doubts, Zhou Weisen also thinks it's good to go out to sea and go for a spin in tropical waters. At least he can temporarily get rid of this boring job - and the demanding Miss Mendoza, the Ocean Horse is really not easy to tolerate.
Lin Chuanqing did his part and was assigned to be the captain of the research ship again - this time using a small 50-ton dhow equipped with a diesel engine, specially used for ocean surveys and short-distance maritime transportation.
Ran Yao installed an investigator each among the natives and the travelers. The task was to pay attention to whether there was anything strange among the members of the expedition team during the entire investigation.
When the investigation team is getting ready. Wu De called all the liaison officers from the villages near Nanbao to Bairen City. They were ordered to pay lignite and peat within ten days. Each village was allocated a share ranging from five tons to twenty tons according to the situation of the young people. One hundred kilograms of lignite or peat can be equivalent to one kilogram of grain.
The liaison officers looked at each other, wondering what the trouble was with these Australians. What's the use of having that dark thing?
Digging this black charcoal is easy, but transporting so much black charcoal to Bairen City is quite troublesome. The road from Nanbao to Bairen is very difficult. Normally, everyone would not come to the county seat, let alone transporting so many things to Dongmen City, which is further away than the county seat. All the liaison officers were embarrassed and asked for more leniency in the delivery date. Wu De knew that the Agricultural Committee was very anxious about the demand for this batch of fertilizers, but he knew that the road from the local area to Bairen was long and difficult to walk. In order to be considerate of the people, he had to agree to a grace period! ~!
