Chapter 958 - 956: Hidden Underground Base

Looking at the people in the meeting room, some with furrowed brows, some with an attitude of indifference, Su Wenyan shook her head and spoke:

"The boss suddenly made this decision without explaining the reason. I think the boss must have a reason and rationale for doing this."

After a pause, Su Wenyan shrugged and spoke frankly.

"Over all these years, the decisions made by the boss have never had any issues. We don’t need to overthink it. Besides, once the boss makes a decision, who can change the boss’s mind?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Pengfei and his wife Li Wanning exchanged glances, their lips twitching slightly. That’s damn reasonable.

The boss must have a reason that can’t be disclosed, otherwise, with the boss’s personality, he would have said it outright.

As there were no objections, Cao Mingxin spoke up:

"After the meeting, I will arrange staff to prepare for the activation of funds at any time, and notify the major banks in advance to ensure that when money is needed, it can be transferred to the designated account immediately."

Being the head of the finance department and having furthered his studies, Cao Mingxin understands very well that having money in the bank account doesn’t mean you can conduct large transactions anytime.

Even for Candy Technology, if the amount of funds needed exceeds the local bank’s maximum limit, an appointment is needed.

However, this situation is rare.

With so many years of dealings with Candy Technology, the major banks know that Candy Technology spends money like water.

As long as the amount doesn’t exceed tens of billions, it can be directly transferred through online banking normally.

After Cao Mingxin finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent. Seeing that no one spoke further, Xu Pengfei spoke:

"If everyone has no other questions, today’s meeting will end here."

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Xu Pengfei directly said:

"Today’s meeting ends here. Secretary Xia, regarding the matter of increasing production lines that require financial mobilization, please inform the boss once he returns."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaomin, who had recorded the meeting’s content, looked up and nodded at Xu Pengfei.

Meanwhile, a six-car convoy was following navigation towards a forest over thirty kilometers outside the county.

The winding rural road, even for modified special vehicles, isn’t too comfortable to sit inside.

Especially since this cement road has long been unmaintained, potholes are everywhere, and sometimes stones roll down from the cliffs, resting in the middle of the road.

Over more than thirty kilometers of road, stop-and-go, Mo Jingchun’s group took two hours to reach the destination.

No road ahead, Mo Jingchun got out of the car and looked at the tall, straight cedar trees in front, raising an eyebrow.

This underground base is quite secretive, clearly guided by the map to the exact location given by Qin Yuzhu, yet besides cedar trees, Mo Jingchun didn’t see anything.

Glancing at Wild Wolf, who was looking around either on alert or searching for the underground base entrance, Mo Jingchun asked:

"Wild Wolf, have you seen the entrance to the underground base?"

Wild King disappointedly shook his head.

"Boss, no discovery at all. Perhaps the base has been abandoned for years, covered by overgrown trees and bushes."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun glanced at the thoughtful Wild Wolf and revealed information even Wild Wolf didn’t know.

"It’s unlikely. The notification I received is that the military has already moved into the underground base here yesterday."

Then, Zero tugged at Mo Jingchun’s sleeve, pointing overhead.

"Boss, look at what I’ve discovered."

"What?"

Mo Jingchun confusedly looked up at the treetops of the cedar tree in front.

Besides a bird’s nest built by some bird on the treetop, there’s nothing at all.

"What’s so interesting about a bird’s nest."

Zero grinned, "Naturally, there’s nothing interesting about the bird’s nest, but this bird’s nest transmitting signals, that’s unusual."

Meanwhile, inside the underground base, Chen Hongping, the person in charge of this stationed task, knew they’ve been discovered, shaking his head.

At this moment, Chen Hongping had a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence.

Zero — truly lives up to its reputation.

While Mo Jingchun and others curiously stared at the well-disguised bird’s nest, a land ten meters away suddenly rose like a stage.

"Oh my, this disguise, doesn’t it need to be this realistic."

After saying this, Mo Jingchun patted Zero’s shoulder, speaking earnestly: "Zero, you’re still lacking. The base entrance is so close, and you didn’t even scan it."

After the platform completely rose, everyone discovered the platform was actually an elevator.

"Boss, there must be special metal used above that blocked my detection."

"Ultimately, it’s a lack of technology."

Zero retorted, "Well, that’s because the database doesn’t have scanning and detection black technology."

How did he manage to twist the blame back? Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but give Zero another look.

"Let’s go. Let’s go inside and see what the situation is like."

Taking the elevator underground, not knowing how many meters, judging by the speed, Mo Jingchun roughly estimated it to be over ten meters.

It doesn’t sound that deep, roughly the depth of three floors.

But don’t forget, this is a mountainous area, the further inside, the deeper from the surface.

Just stepping out of the elevator, Mo Jingchun saw an officer with two soldiers smiling at them.

Saluting Mo Jingchun, Chen Hongping said:

"Professor Mo, welcome to your arrival. I am Chen Hongping, the security head for this task stationed base."

Looking at the rank on Chen Hongping’s shoulder, Mo Jingchun was quite surprised.

For an underground base, how many soldiers were stationed here?

The person in charge is actually a major!

If Mo Jingchun remembers correctly, usually the company commander is either a lieutenant or a captain.

"Cough, cough ~ Major Chen, can you tell me how many soldiers are stationed?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hongping put away his smile, solemnly saying, "A company, plus a special squad. If any external enemies invade, we will prioritize your life safety, Professor Mo."

Worried Mo Jingchun might not understand, Chen Hongping further explained:

"Professor Mo, if the laboratory is destroyed, it can be rebuilt; your life safety comes above all. This is the highest command I’ve received."

Mo Jingchun was directly stupefied.

No way, with a company and a special forces team, who dares cause trouble?

After all, this is the heartland of Xia Country, Mo Jingchun really can’t imagine what kind of armed force can contend with a company.

In Mo Jingchun’s view, even a platoon would be more than adequate.

Does the upper echelon truly believe he can accomplish stable operation and continuous energy output of controlled nuclear fusion?

Rubbing his forehead, Mo Jingchun smiled wryly.
