It was an August night, August 20, 2023.
At that time, starting in 2021, after half a year of sailing, the Zhurong pioneering exploration team had docked the ship in low-Earth orbit in 2022.
At the same time, after a pretentious "construction" and reconstruction, the large-scale technology factory area formerly known as Gear Valley has now been renamed the "Tonghua Palace" technology industrial park.
Although he lost the naming rights, Xie Yuan gained a backer who took the risk of exposure for the park.
At the same time, the establishment of the world's third Mars technology colonization park has also greatly boosted national enthusiasm. New investment opportunities have emerged, the Mars route is about to be established, and another investment boom has begun to introduce a large amount of hot money.
Xia Guo was in Mars for this purpose, and when a simultaneous press conference was held in the Great Hall, Xie Yuan himself was at Mars with the keynote speaker, while John Ironface was in the Great Hall to attend the press conference with the top leaders.
Although both positions are in insignificant corners, this can be regarded as a great affirmation - Metal Gear's future development in the country will definitely have a bright future.
Then Xie Yuan suddenly received a telecom notification. He opened it and took a look - it turned out that the Metal Gear Building suddenly burst into smoke? !
No, not only was his Gear Building filled with smoke, but even Arasaka Tower was blown down!
"Iron Man!" Xie Yuan immediately called UR-025 on the data layer, "Help me see what's going on?!"
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
"The thing is very simple. Your brother Johnny just stuffed a mini-nuclear bomb into Arasaka Tower and Metal Gear each." After receiving the message, UR-025 reported calmly.
"What about the casualties?!" He was very angry that his brother betrayed him, but Xie Yuan was more concerned about what happened to his employees who were loyal to him.
"Compared to Arasaka Tower? It's so much better - your employees have to thank you for your eight-hour flexible work system and the night cleaning system. At night, your building has nothing but cleaning robots and security robots."
"But -" UR-025's voice was full of regret, "The bomb on Arasaka Tower is the most fatal. It was a small nuclear bomb, and the additional damage has already been caused."
"You fucker Johnny, it's useless for me to protect you like this!" Xie Yuan cursed through gritted teeth. The red indicator light of UR-025 flashed for a while, and then he said nothing more.
"Hey! That's wrong!" Xie Yuan suddenly remembered, "Isn't there smoke coming from my building? What's going on?"
"Well... you also know that nuclear bombs can cause large-scale electromagnetic pulse phenomena, right... This time the building's network host was burned out - causing an electrical fire."
"Where's the nuclear bomb?"
"The nuclear bomb was immediately intercepted and dismantled by my deputies by hacking into the equipment using the STC 2.0 intelligence to cause the illusion of an emergency fall in the elevator."
Iron Man's tone was filled with joy: "I actually got a nuclear bomb from the 2K era. I should keep it as a souvenir."
"Phew, it was a false alarm." Xie Yuan finally sighed.
If the power fire is just caused by the network chassis, it is not a big problem. All the company's backups have a quantum computer database that is updated and saved in real time every day. It is not difficult to restore the data.
Now we need to know the cause and whether there is a traitor secretly helping.
"A global big data search shows that your brother Johnny and your girlfriend Roger seem to have participated in an attack on Arasaka Tower."
Iron Man quickly found clues.
"Roger?! She was also involved?!" Xie Yuan really broke through this time, and he only recently gave her a ring.
But UR-025 doesn't think so: "According to the video records, Rogge did not appear near the Gear Building. Instead, a man with a height similar to your brother and a woman wrapped in a strange suit once visited the building. They With huge suitcases.”
"According to the surveillance records at the time of the incident, Miss Rogge stayed in her safe house and giggled all day long, or cleaned the gun - nothing else."
"Good luck!" Xie Yuan's face turned pale after hearing this, "Then the problem lies with the visiting couple, why can't they be seen?"
"Because at that time, the man and the woman were indeed discussing with the manager of the Americas Purchasing Department - and the manager requested that the monitoring be suspended. The main controller received the approval and agreed."
"Starting from tomorrow, transfer the manager of the purchasing department to a fat position - the Far East Mars Base Operations Department, and then give me a thorough investigation!" Xie Yuan thought for a while, but still used the method of isolation. Check out this suspicious person.
The Far East Mars Base Operations Department is a public-private partnership department that is about to be established in Xia State. It is subject to the supervision of the national security department - as long as it is found that this person has problems, there are many crimes that can trip him up.
Of course, if he is disobedient and disrespectful... then he doesn't even want to cover it up - then it would be even more dangerous to keep it, so it would be better to sacrifice it secretly!
Iron Man had other suggestions: "Should we abolish some of the special privacy rights of company executives? After all, if the baby intelligence hadn't discovered abnormal unknown radiation readings this time, and found Johnny appearing in a blind corner... maybe Metal Gear would really I’m in trouble!”
"This matter can be discussed intensively in a meeting after all the undercover agents are caught, but for now, let's stick to common sense."
Xie Yuan decided to focus on the key points and focus on the big ones first and let go of the small ones: "Can you assemble a list of casualties belonging to our company in this terrorist attack?"
"This is very difficult... Night City is now in a mess." Iron Man said it was difficult.
"Then first gather all the rapid response teams we can contact, gather outside the safe zone, and set up temporary refugee camps, rescue equipment, first aid warehouses and emergency reserves."
Xie Yuan thought for a while and quickly arranged for rescue: "Anyone who is willing to go to the disaster area for rescue should prepare the most durable three-proof equipment. Metal Gear will always arrange a setup for him. And the medical expenses and modification fees incurred by any sequelae will all be incurred by the group. to reimburse.
"Of course, I don't insist on voluntary sacrifice. For this rescue mission, personal voluntariness is the standard."
"Maybe the finance department will have objections to such a phone bill." Iron Man expressed doubts.
