Feng Yi didn't think that the three people he met in the lounge just now were just casually mentioned.
Being able to talk about it here and being heard by Feng Yi, although there is a problem of probability, it also shows that they may have talked about it frequently recently.
If it is talked about frequently, it means that the plan is likely to have a breakthrough!
Feng Yi looked at the limited information displayed on the screen.
The "Butterfly Project" is a highly confidential plan. The reason for this confidentiality may be that it is too easy to cause uncontrollable public opinion.
If such a plan is to be carried out, it will require time and huge amounts of financial support.
Feng Yi left the library and returned to the hotel.
Pick up another encrypted phone and call Xiao Geng.
Yue Gengyang, the apparent controller of the Original Factory, was stunned when he heard about the "Butterfly Project". He thought for a while before saying:
“I did hear about it, but our ancestral factory was not involved. This was a decision made by the previous generation.”
The decision was made by the previous generation, that is to say, by my great aunt.
Feng Yi was surprised. This was an important project that required a huge amount of money, but the Ancestral Factory didn't participate
The Butterfly Project is not short of money? If it was short of money, it would not have let go of the fat piece of meat of the Ancestor Factory.
Yue Gengyang added: "However, the 'Chaos Fund' established by Ms. Feng has been investing in this plan. Oh, Chaos Fund is now her eldest son, that is, your cousin? He is in charge."
Feng Yi frowned slightly, pondering the deeper meaning of his aunt's actions.
Yue Gengyang continued, "Many people paid attention to the Butterfly Project back then, and it could be found online, but it's probably been deleted now, and the confidentiality level has also been raised. Could it be that there is real progress? But because no news has been released to the public over the years, other than those involved in the project, even investors know very little. Some people have changed from supporting it at the beginning to being pessimistic, and coupled with the fact that the overall situation has been stable over the years, they have gradually stopped taking it seriously and feel that it's a waste of money."
After saying that, Yue Gengyang paused for a while, giving Feng Yi enough time to think.
At the same time, Yue Gengyang was also searching for relevant information in his encrypted computer.
"The Butterfly Project has indeed been mentioned more frequently recently. I suspect there will be some action soon. If anyone contacts me, I will tell you right away."
"Okay, you pay attention to it."
Feng Yi didn't talk to Yue Gengyang for too long. After the call, he didn't ask his uncle. He had met his uncle and aunt, but he didn't know what his uncle's attitude was. He would not contact him about this matter for the time being.
Feng Yi picked up the phone and called the housekeeper.
When it comes to money, he has never underestimated the butler!
The butler answered quickly.
"Oh, the Butterfly Project, I know."
After all, he is someone who has worked hard during the period of abnormal climate, has experienced a lot, has unknown financial resources, and has been with my aunt for many years. The housekeeper knows a lot more details than Yue Gengyang.
"It is a self-help plan to artificially change the disastrous weather. Many people know that this was proposed 20 years ago, but in fact, it is not 20 years old. It was formally proposed in the fifth year of the abnormal climate period, but preparations had already begun before that. Including the preparation period, this plan has been in progress for nearly 40 years.
"The Sixth Database, supported by the Joint Security Bureau, continuously supplies it with blood. Its realization requires a huge amount of data to support it.
"We established a joint database, recruited top talents, drew elite troops from various countries, and invited top financial capital groups... At that time, the chaebols had a simple idea: with the money they invested, they could get a ticket on the 'Ark' even if the world ended. So fundraising went smoothly."
Feng Yi listened to the housekeeper's story and thought that this situation really meant concentrating all efforts to accomplish something big!
The housekeeper said with some emotion: "Only after humans experienced the climate anomaly period did they know the helplessness and despair of the end of the world. In fact, your great aunt had this idea at the beginning of the climate anomaly period, but she did not propose it after considering it. She only expressed her support when others proposed this plan."
Feng Yi could understand. The survival resources provided by the planet were shrinking, and their race was now weak and stunted. This kind of global meteorological disaster could not be reversed or controlled. Even if I wanted to save the world, I was powerless.
But if humans can use technology to create a way to survive, she will support it.
As for why I was not the first person to propose it, I must have had my concerns.
The butler continued, “If it really succeeds, such a weapon can create a ray of hope for humanity, but it can also accelerate destruction and bring about the sixth mass extinction ahead of time.
"How to strike a balance between human desire for survival and ambition is a difficult problem. However, at this stage, the priority is to realize this plan."
Feng Yi listened to this and asked the question in his mind: "Why didn't my aunt let the Ancestral Factory participate? Was it because the Ancestral Factory didn't have enough money at that time?"
"That's not the case." The housekeeper smiled and said, "I don't know either. But she has her own considerations. She said that the Ancestral Factory is special. When the Butterfly Project can really bear fruit, the person in charge of the Ancestral Factory will decide whether to participate in it."
Feng Yi: "… This sentence contains a lot of information. Did she really not leave any more hints?"
As if he could see Feng Yi frowning and thinking through the phone, the butler said cheerfully:
"She herself is not sure, so she didn't say much. Don't worry, the answer will come soon.
"The years of climate anomaly left behind extremely important meteorological data. With top talents and large financial groups involved, and the support of the huge sixth database, the project will not be slow to advance. The fact that you can hear this in a library also proves that the plan should have made progress.
“The road ahead is long and arduous, but if you keep going, you will reach your destination. Perhaps those former investors did not expect that this would ever come true.
"If there is real progress, the management of the Butterfly Project will invite the world's top experts and heads of large groups to view the results. They need more people to agree and support the continued advancement of this plan. This means that they are very likely to arrange a 'real combat exercise' first."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yi became excited.
According to the housekeeper's analysis, the "actual combat exercise" of the Butterfly Project will come soon.
The butler on the other end of the phone suddenly said, "However, if you want to get a first-class ticket, you need to be the real decision-maker of the Ancestral Factory."
This was to let Feng Yi know that if he wanted to be one of the first to watch the actual combat exercise of this meteorological weapon, his identity as the real boss behind the Ancestral Factory would be exposed.
It depends on what Feng Yi decides.
"Consider it from your own perspective," said the butler.
After talking to the housekeeper, Feng Yi was lost in thought in the hotel room.
How to choose does require careful consideration.
Previously, everyone agreed that Feng Yi was just a shareholder of the original factory, and that the elders in his family had a good relationship with the people in power at the original factory, so Yue Gengyang and his wife would take care of Feng Yi. Just taking money is not enough to manage things.
But if his identity as the boss behind the Ancestral Factory is exposed, it will definitely be a strong shock to both the public and various organizations!
Even the Joint Guarantee Bureau, which thought it had thoroughly investigated Feng Yi's background, would be shocked.
By then, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
However, Feng Yi really wanted to be among the first to watch the actual combat exercise of the "Butterfly Project"!
Moreover, my aunt asked him to make the decision after reading it, it must be because this matter is very important!
You need to think about it. Think about it.
Feng Yi sat in the room, quietly thinking for two hours.
Then he continued to polish his presentation.
I can’t decide whether to expose my identity or not for now. I’ll just have to deal with the things in front of me first.
In fact, Feng Yi really wanted to sneak over to listen to the meteorological seminar, but unfortunately there was a time conflict and he couldn't go.
But because of the Butterfly Project, Feng Yi felt that the pressure from the presentation was nothing. He sorted out the presentation and came to the venue as scheduled on the day of the exchange meeting.
This exchange meeting is purely an exchange of experiences, views and research results, and there are no other interactive projects with the outside world.
Feng Yi, dressed in an outfit that looked quite scholarly, explained some small details about the animals and plants he observed in the rainforest. He also explained his own views and basis with a presentation.
Because I don't feel too much pressure, I feel very natural when I tell the story. Sometimes I have different opinions with others on the behavior of a certain animal, but Feng Yi does not give in.
That's what I think, and I've given my reasons. Do you have a different opinion? Have you published a paper
So what if I publish a paper? So what if I list references
Neither means it is necessarily correct!
This kind of conflict of views is very common at exchange meetings, and the organizers are happy to see it.
It’s okay. As more people study this and more evidence is gathered, some wrong views will gradually be corrected.
Scientific research also relies on everyone repeatedly slapping themselves in the face and constantly setting goals to make progress.
Although there were some conflicts of opinion during the process, overall, Feng Yi performed quite successfully in this kind of exchange meeting.
In everyone's opinion, this young expert demonstrated relatively professional knowledge and showed his strength, and he was not at all inferior in front of many predecessors.
After the exchange meeting was over, the organizers and the professors who strongly invited Feng Yi to attend the meeting shook Feng Yi's hands violently, as if any gentle shaking would not be enough to reflect their enthusiasm.
While being enthusiastic, he also gave Feng Yi some advice.
Facing these seniors, Feng Yi was still very respectful and seemed to be listening attentively.
One of the professors at a prestigious university strongly recommended that Feng Yi continue his studies, and he was willing to write a letter of recommendation if Feng Yi was willing to do so.
However, Feng Yi was not interested in this.
During this exchange meeting, no one noticed that a young man who followed Feng Yi in and left with him watched the entire process carefully and took note of several important people who chatted with Feng Yi and the general content of their conversations.
Xiao Ren came here today to strengthen himself and improve the details. He was disguised, different from his usual appearance, and had the temperament of an ordinary person, so he was easily overlooked.
Whenever he took up the post and was asked about the exchange meeting, he could respond quite smoothly.
To be an excellent professional stand-in, your professional abilities cannot be bad either!
