Various thoughts quickly swirled in their minds, and ideas emerged one after another.
“He is an organization. Yes, Director Zhang, you guessed correctly.”
Zheng Lixing clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement: “No wonder this Mysterious Person could acquire such technology. He didn’t obtain it single-handedly from Eagleland; it was an entire organization.”
The Mysterious Person had never claimed to be just one individual; on the contrary, he even openly admitted to being able to easily obtain top-secret technology from Eagleland.
All these signs indicated that behind this ‘Mysterious Person’ was a very well-organized entity.
Zhang Yuli nodded, continuing his line of thought: “In these conversations, the Mysterious Person sometimes said ‘I’ and sometimes ‘we’.”
“This proves that the personnel communicating with our Xia Academy of Sciences might have been changing.”
Zheng Lixing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: “Yes, that must be it.”
Normally, such self-referential terms rarely change, but last time it was ‘I’, and after acquiring the technology this time, the term changed to ‘we’.
“It seems the person who contacted us last time was clearly of a higher rank,” Zheng Lixing began to deduce based on the clues.
In such organizations, titles are very important. Being able to refer to the organization as ‘I’ indicates that he has the ability to represent the entire organization in communication with Da Xia, while using ‘we’ suggests he is merely acting on orders.
As for whether this Mysterious Organization exists, neither of them had many doubts.
Da Xia had only joined the world trade system a few years ago; how could it possibly know about a Mysterious Organization that even Eagleland itself couldn't uncover?
Moreover, the existence of such an organization was not inconceivable. Who knew how long this Mysterious Organization had been embedded in Eagleland?
There were countless powerful figures and groups within Eagleland, and many Chinese laborers had settled there and built railways over one or two hundred years ago.
Even a century ago, Da Xia frequently contacted organizations like the Hongmen in Eagleland, and even Eagleland’s beloved father, Roosevelt, was a former legal advisor to this organization.
Their capabilities back then would not have been much inferior to those of the current Mysterious Organization.
Just then.
Suddenly, Liu Zhixue walked in from outside, asking curiously: “Director, did the Mysterious Person send a message just now?”
He had been resting these past few days because he had been working day and night shifts for some time, which had led to some nervous exhaustion recently.
Although he was younger than Director Zhang and the others, he was almost fifty years old now, and his body simply couldn't handle it.
“Yes,” Zheng Lixing said, looking at his sleepy expression, and poured him a cup of tea from nearby: “Xiao Liu, did you just wake up? Have some water first.”
“Okay, thanks, General Zheng.” Liu Zhixue took a sip of water, moistening his chapped lips.
He immediately asked eagerly: “Director, General Zheng, what technology did the Mysterious Person give our Xia Academy of Sciences this time? Is it the B-2 Bomber?”
The reason he got up in such a hurry without even having a sip of water was because he wanted to know the answer.
After all, you should never underestimate the curiosity of researchers; without such a spirit of inquiry, one would not reach such heights.
Zhang Yuli smiled and shook his head: “No, this time it’s not the B-2 Bomber, but another technology.”
“Another technology? Can I know what it is?”
“It’s the complete set of technical design drawings for the Boeing 777 series.”
Zhang Yuli did not hide much and directly stated the answer.
From the beginning, Liu Zhixue had access to the F22 fighter technology sent by the Mysterious Person, and thus also had the authority to know the technical content.
Liu Zhixue suddenly realized: “Boeing 777 series technology? This is indeed in line with the Mysterious Person’s style.”
This technology did not surprise him.
The person had previously said he would get B-2 Bomber technology; this was just Boeing 777 series technology, so what was the big deal?
“However, he also asked us to do something this time,” Zhang Yuli’s face still held a smile: “He offered a reward of one billion usd.”
“One billion usd? That price can be described as cheap.” On this point, Liu Zhixue and Zheng Lixing shared the same opinion, both feeling the price was excessively low.
“But the Mysterious Person asked us to use all the remuneration to build one thousand schools in Northwest Province.”
“What??” Liu Zhixue’s expression was exactly the same as theirs just now, filled with shock and incomprehension.
What was he doing this for?
To build one thousand schools in Northwest Province? What was the Mysterious Person’s objective in doing this?
These doubts arose in Liu Zhixue’s mind, but quickly vanished, and he sighed: “It seems this Mysterious Person is a true humanitarian…”
Whether the Mysterious Person was from Northwest Province or not didn’t concern him at all. Liu Zhixue was simply genuinely impressed by this rare and precious decision.
Although he wasn't from Northwest Province, his hometown was right next door, and its educational situation was quite similar to Northwest Province, making him very aware of the local education levels.
To exchange one billion usd for one thousand schools in the area was enough to show the Mysterious Person’s sincere heart, so why bother with his identity?
“Director, I’ll head back now.” Liu Zhixue rubbed his eyes; having gotten the answer he wanted, he planned to go back to rest for a while.
“You go get some good rest,” Zhang Yuli seemed to remember something: “Oh, by the way, go ask Da Xia Commercial Aircraft who is in Yanjing and tell him to come over quickly.”
“Okay,” Liu Zhixue nodded.
He didn't find it surprising. With the complete set of Boeing 777 series technology, the domestic large aircraft project would naturally need to revise its procedures.
Half an hour later.
Outside the Director’s office at Xia Academy of Sciences.
A guest rushed over and was currently brushing off some dust from his clothes.
“Why is Director Zhang looking for me?” Xu Qianren muttered.
As the General Manager of Da Xia Commercial Aircraft, he had just finished a meeting in Yanjing when he was notified to urgently go to Xia Academy of Sciences.
This was unusual.
COMAC’s superior supervisory unit was not Xia Academy of Sciences. Could it be that they were looking for him specifically?
After tidying his appearance, Xu Qianren pushed open the door: “Director Zhang, are you looking for me?”
“General Zheng, you’re here too?” He was very familiar with these two, having often seen them when he was stationed in Yanjing.
“Xiao Xu, the main reason for calling you here this time is an announcement related to Da Xia Commercial Aircraft,” Zhang Yuli didn’t waste time and went straight to the point.
“Related to our Da Xia Commercial Aircraft? Director Zhang, please tell me.”
“Following the highest-level decision, all cooperation with CFM Company is now suspended,” Zhang Yuli said, word for word: “We are abandoning their integrated propulsion system!”
“We are going to develop a 100% domestically produced C919 large aircraft!”
