Chapter 494 Investing in a new drama

When he just came back from the military base, he just wanted to rest and didn't want to do anything. At this time, Fang Weihai called.

Lin Chen picked up the phone immediately after seeing it: "Boss Lin, what's up?"

Fang Weihai smiled and said, "You're not busy now, are you? China is going to hold a press conference to talk about the spacecraft, and we want to invite you to come."

Lin Chen quickly refused: "Forget it. I'm not from the military. I just want to quietly follow China's developments behind the scenes. I don't want to step into the spotlight."

Fang Weihai laughed: "Okay, I understand what you mean, I won't bother you anymore."

Lin Chen looked at the hung-up phone, feeling somewhat confused. He frowned, thinking carefully about why Fang Weihai suddenly called him. Logically, the military should not want him to come to the front and reveal his identity.

He temporarily put aside these doubts and turned around to get some water. After Fang Weihai hung up the phone, he looked at the specialist sent by Liu Dingcang.

The commissioner also heard the content of the call and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Lin Chen should be fine."

Fang Weihai said, "If you really want to conduct a political investigation, you probably won't do it this way."

"We are just getting a basic understanding of the situation. This is not a real investigation." The commissioner said, saluted and left.

Fang Weihai looked at the direction where the commissioner left and sighed in his heart. He understood that this was a test of Lin Chen by the military. Talents like Lin Chen were extremely rare in China and were also attractive to other countries.

Huaxia has tried many times to get Lin Chen to join the military, but he has rejected them every time. This makes Huaxia a little worried about Lin Chen's final choice.

As far as they know, some countries led by the United States have begun to focus on recruiting researchers for the previously appeared Phantom and other equipment. If the United States really finds Lin Chen, it will be a great test for China.

They couldn't ask Lin Chen to do anything blatantly, and could only understand the actual situation through occasional small inspections. Fang Weihai had no personal opinion on this, he just hoped that his country could be safe and sound.

Lin Chen did not think too much about the meaning of Fang Weihai's call, and he did not know that he had unknowingly gone through a test. His goal was to go to the factory.

At this time, China's aerospace industry media meeting officially began. Lin Chen knew about this meeting because Fang Weihai's call forced him to pay attention to its content.

He felt that Fang Weihai would not make this call for no reason, so he decided to see the content of the press conference.

The meeting officially began, and the first question from the media reporters revolved around some space pictures in their hands, including some pictures of "alien spaceships" provided by the United States.

A blonde reporter asked, "According to relevant personnel, this is not a so-called spaceship, but a spaceship from China, right?"

Liu Cheng, director of the Space Command Center, smiled when he heard this: "I really don't know who spread the information, saying that it was our Chinese spacecraft. We also want to know if this is true. If it is, we also need corresponding evidence to publish."

Liu Cheng continued, "The image shown in this picture is indeed our latest spacecraft launched into space. Because there is no publicity in deep space, many people are not aware of it."

When his conclusion came out, there was an uproar at the scene. Even the other reporters present were shocked. Many people did not think that this was a Chinese spacecraft, and even began to doubt it.

After all, the United States has claimed that this is an alien spacecraft. In the public opinion circle and in the general cognition, the United States's remarks are more likely to arouse people's trust.

When Lin Chen saw this and noticed the reporters' reactions, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

The reporter who originally asked the question followed up with another question: "Do you have any actual pictures of the spacecraft or other evidence?"

Liu Cheng responded confidently: "In addition to the routine Q&A session, we will also take you to visit our newly developed spacecraft that has already been launched."

Although many reporters still took a wait-and-see attitude, they also understood that sometimes they had to remain silent, so they did not ask any questions in return.

At this moment, another reporter stood up and said, "We have seen news that Huaxia has planted the Chinese flag on some new planets."

Liu Cheng responded: "Yes, we have planted national flags on two planets in total. I have pictures to show you, and the spacecraft that carried out this mission is the one I just mentioned!"

When the reporters heard Liu Cheng's introduction and saw the pictures on display, flashes flashed frequently and shutter sounds came one after another. This was undoubtedly a big news, information that had not been disclosed at the US space conference.

The people present had already had a preliminary understanding of the current situation. They only needed to see the newly developed spacecraft with their own eyes, and everything would become clear. However, on the way to the visit, there were still questions raised by reporters to their companions:
"It could be just a mock-up for photography, unless they can come up with actual footage to prove they actually launched the spacecraft and have solid evidence of astronauts performing extravehicular activities."

His companion looked up and glanced at them, without saying anything more, and continued to work. Soon, they were led by the staff to the spacecraft viewing site mentioned by Liu Cheng.

After seeing this, Lin Chen turned off the live broadcast. "This is really a sensational piece of news. It will be very interesting when the United States and other countries know about it!" He couldn't wait to see the reactions of other countries after the news was released.

Liu Cheng followed the instructions of the Chinese leaders and unexpectedly showed the new spacecraft. After everyone visited the spacecraft and took many photos, the huge screen began to play the launch images and space operations, even including the scene of unfurling the Chinese flag on a habitable planet.

The reporter who initially asked the question walked up to Liu Cheng and asked, "Can you give us a copy of these published images?"

"Of course," Liu Cheng replied. All the images released can be used for publicity and publication.

Lin Chen did not pay attention to the follow-up of the press conference, but drove to his factory. He had not dealt with tasks in the factory for some time.

He was sorting out the system warehouse to see if there was anything else he could take out for research, when suddenly there was another person beside him. Lin Chen knew Anfia was coming, but he was busy working and didn't look up until she came up to him.

Anfia asked with a smile: "Did you know I was coming?"

"Yes." Lin Chen answered straightforwardly. Anfia continued: "Then tell me the main reason why I came here this time!"

Lin Chen stopped what he was doing and thought about it carefully. "If I have to say something, it's probably related to the equipment you took from me last time!" After all, apart from this matter, there seemed to be nothing special that needed to be communicated between them.

After hearing this, Anfia nodded with a hint of helplessness. "I didn't use it during the last mission." She then told Lin Chen what happened before, and it was obvious that she was still a little concerned about not being able to use the equipment.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Equipment will always be useful!" All he thought was that it would be good enough to complete the mission safely. However, it was not convenient for him to tell Anfia about this now.

Anfia did not refute Lin Chen's words. Of course, she knew these things. She came to Lin Chen, in addition to simply complaining, but also had another main purpose.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If you have time, could you consider studying the sniper rifle you gave me before?"

Lin Chen was really confused when he heard this. "So you think it has some shortcomings and want to improve it."

Anfia said a little embarrassedly: "I'm definitely not saying that your skills are bad, but after this practice, I have some personal experience in using it. Although I didn't use it in that mission, I still want to make some modifications to it."

After listening to this, Lin Chen nodded in agreement. He returned to the car, took out the sniper rifle from his backpack, and placed it in front of Lin Chen.

"I know it's already the lightest in the world, but let's see if we can make it smaller."

Lin Chen did not answer immediately, but asked the system: "System, can Anfia meet this request?"

The system responded without hesitation: "Consider it when your system is upgraded. It's not possible now!"

After getting this answer, Lin Chen immediately understood that if he needed to upgrade the system, he would need to develop other things to meet the task volume. In short, he could not meet Anfia's requirements for modifying the sniper rifle in a short time.

He told Anfia the truth, only to receive a sigh from the person in front of him.

Anfia didn't get a solution to her problem from Lin Chen, so she left without staying for long. Lin Chen no longer bothered about the things in the system warehouse. He knew that the most important thing now was to upgrade his system, and to do this, he had to develop more new things.

He looked at the time and it was already late, so he didn't stay in the factory any longer. He snapped his fingers and all the lights in the factory went out, leaving it completely dark. The rolling door slowly closed, leaving only a faint gray mark that was faintly visible in the moonlight.

He drove back to the third building of Zuiwengzhiyi and saw the lights of the house on from a distance. Before he parked the car, Deji and Fang Lan were already waiting at the door, as if they had come to greet him specially. Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Fang Lan and asked, "What are you guys doing?" Fang Lan came over, took his arm and said, "We do have something to do. Let's discuss it together when we get back!" Just like that, Lin Chen was carried home by them, one on each side.

I didn't feel their strength on weekdays, but I really felt it this time. At the dinner table, everyone filled their glasses with wine. Lin Chen looked at Fang Lan and Deji, and saw that they both looked happy and excited.

Finally, it was Fang Lan who spoke up: "We are ready to officially launch the new drama, and the preparatory work is almost ready. We just need an investor." Lin Chen laughed when he heard it: "So that's why? Didn't I say a long time ago that I want to be an investor in the new drama? This matter has been finalized and will not be changed."

"We know this, but we still have to formally notify the investors that we are ready to start operations!" Deji continued. Lin Chen understood what they meant, and the investment for the new drama had been negotiated.

On the other hand, Lin Chen also knew that the two of them still had a lot to say. Deji took the initiative to come forward, and his expression was more serious than before: "This time, "Life and Destiny" really helped me make a great comeback."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She drank the wine in her glass. Fang Lan and Lin Chen could both feel her excitement. It might be because she had drunk some wine before, but Deji's emotions had already been brewing to a certain extent.

"I really want to thank you two very much. Because of you two, I was able to participate in this and get the current result." Lin Chen didn't say anything, but just listened carefully. He knew that Deji had been criticized for a lot of financial disputes before, and suffered a lot of property losses. He even had no place to live at one point.

But now, Deji's condition has obviously improved. She poured herself another glass of wine and said, "I have found a house and I am going to move out so as not to disturb your world of two."

Fang Lan immediately said, "How can you say that? There is no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing." Deji smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, "Anyway, I am very grateful to both of you, and to my next decision, and we are going to work together on a new drama again!"

"Cheers!" the three said in unison.

Lin Chen is the one who speaks the least here, as Fang Lan and Deji take up the main space.

Not only Deji has undergone tremendous changes, but Fang Lan has also changed. It is really a happy thing to work hard on something you love and get rewards.

By the end of the meal, Deji was a little incoherent.

Lin Chen said to Fang Lan, "Let's help her go back and rest!" Fang Lan responded and was about to stand up.

Deji immediately said loudly: "Do you think I'm drunk? No, I'm not drunk yet, and I still have a lot to say!" But before she finished speaking, she fell down there, as if she could not support her body at all.

Lin Chen and Fang Lan had to stand up and help Deji go back to rest. In Deji's room, it was inconvenient for Lin Chen to stay longer, so only Fang Lan stayed to help her change clothes.

When they returned to the restaurant, they found that a long time had passed. They had no intention of taking a break, and were still immersed in their visions of the future, mainly their vision of the new drama they were working on together.

Fang Lan sighed: "In fact, I can understand Deji's feelings. I believe things will get better and better in the future. Her reputation on the Internet has improved a lot now."

Lin Chen said: "Everyone has their own choices. We just need to do our job well now. Regarding this cooperation, do I only need to invest?"

"That's not necessarily true. We might even have to ask you to be an extra someday and bring some popularity to us online!" Fang Lan said jokingly.
