Chapter 498 Our Actions Remain Secret

Lin Chen's expression straightened up, he stopped what he was doing and waited for Liu Cheng's next words.

Liu Cheng said, "When you come here this time, I want to give a non-academic speech. You will be the speaker, and the content will be about this space flight."

“The primary audience is the new talent we bring into the command center,” he added.

The talents introduced by the Space Command Center are not limited to the field of research and development, but cover all aspects. Everyone needs to cooperate with each other to complete the space flight mission of the spacecraft. Each link requires corresponding talents to cooperate.

After listening to this, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the purpose of this speech?"

He knew that if the purpose was to enhance team cohesion, the person in charge of the aerospace base could be the main speaker. This was also the tradition of the aerospace base. He could only talk about technology-related content. The technical content could also be explained by those old professors.

As an external partner, Lin Chen does not want to take on too much work other than technical work.

Liu Cheng explained: "I think it may be easier for young people to spread ideas to young people. What's more, you are knowledgeable enough."

"It will mainly focus on the technical aspects, and then talk about the significance of aerospace," he added.

Lin Chen immediately responded: "Let me think about it again."

Liu Cheng heard him say this and knew that Lin Chen might want to refuse. He wanted to persuade him again, but finally held back. Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so this matter was not urgent.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Lin Chen also smiled and nodded.

After returning to his residence, Lin Chen kept thinking about what Liu Cheng had mentioned. At this time, there was a knock on the door. It turned out to be his assistant Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo is also one of the newly introduced talents, and is now assigned to be Lin Chen's assistant. He walked in with a plate full of various fruits.

"Teacher Lin." Xiao Luo called out. He was different from others. Everyone else called him professor, but he insisted on calling him teacher. Lin Chen didn't correct him, whatever he called him was fine.

Xiao Luo put the plate in front of Lin Chen and said excitedly: "We heard that Teacher Lin is going to give us a lecture."

This made Lin Chen stunned for a moment. This matter has not been finalized yet, how come everyone knows about it?

Seeing Lin Chen's surprise, Xiao Luo smiled and said, "Are you curious about how we knew it so quickly? The director told us."

Lin Chen muttered a few words to himself.

"To be honest, each of us is looking forward to it very much. Since the last time you came, everyone has been hoping for such an opportunity. We didn't expect it to really come true this time," Ronaldinho said excitedly.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is there to look forward to?"

"Because we can definitely learn a lot of different things. You are our idol," Ronaldinho replied.

This sentence made Lin Chen fall into deep thought. He nodded slightly, responding to Xiao Luo's words.

Xiao Luo went out happily. Lin Chen began to waver about whether to give the speech.

"If people really want to have such a speech, then I should do it. At least it will be of some significance," he thought.

Soon, he called Liu Cheng and told him about his decision to give the speech.

Liu Cheng on the other end of the phone was very excited and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Then I will arrange it."

The next morning, people came to the multimedia center of the space base and sat down in an orderly manner. They all noticed the most conspicuous position in the multimedia center - the LED screen on the stage.

The theme of this speech was clearly displayed on the screen: "Goal: The stars and the sea!"

In the multimedia hall, a new batch of staff members of the Space Command Center sat in a neat row, staring intently at Lin Chen on the podium and listening to his speech.

Xiao Luo was sitting at the side and had long forgotten to take notes. He was completely immersed in Lin Chen's speech.

When Lin Chen showed the last picture and ended his speech, thunderous applause broke out in the hall. All the staff stood up and the applause lasted for a long time.

Standing under the spotlight, Lin Chen could clearly see the sincere and warm smiles on the faces of the people in the audience. The military personnel also strictly abided by the rules, and no one left early.

The meeting was not truly over until Lin Chen walked down from the podium and expressed his gratitude to everyone again. People gathered around him.

"Senior, can you sign my T-shirt?"

"Professor Lin, your speech was wonderful. You expressed the significance of space exploration in our hearts very vividly."

"Professor Lin, I wanted to remember some key words, but I was afraid of missing your speech, so I didn't remember them well."

People surrounded Lin Chen, some asked for autographs, some expressed their gratitude and admiration, and some wanted to have in-depth discussions with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen met everyone's autograph requests one by one and chatted about some topics related to the base.

When it came to discussing questions, Lin Chen calmed everyone's excitement and said, "Since everyone has questions to discuss, please write them down and give them to Xiao Luo. I will organize them and give you a speech later."

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, cheers rang out from all around. Xiao Luo got busy, as someone had already written a note and left it with him. Lin Chen left the multimedia hall.

On the way back, Lin Chen saw Liu Cheng standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

As the director of the Space Command Center, Liu Cheng shoulders a heavy responsibility. Lin Chen's arrival has reduced a lot of his workload, and he appreciates Lin Chen more and more.

Lin Chen walked up to Liu Cheng and asked, "Does the leader have any arrangements?"

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "What can I arrange? However, I am waiting for you here specially to celebrate your success. My friend just sent me some good tea, let's try it together."

Although Liu Cheng is not very old, he likes to taste tea like Liu Dingcang and others.

Lin Chen said: "It just so happens that I also have something to report."

This surprised Liu Cheng a little. He looked at Lin Chen in confusion, but did not ask on the way. He planned to find out in the office.

Xiao Luo finally squeezed out of the multimedia hall and watched Lin Chen's back disappear from the corner, leaving him alone to deal with Lin Chen's "fanatic fans." "Hand them all in tomorrow, go back and write now!" Xiao Luo assigned tasks to everyone so that he wouldn't be too busy.

Everyone left with a smile on their face.

Lin Chen followed Liu Cheng to his office. After a moment, smelling the fragrance of tea, Lin Chen said, "The construction of the spacecraft is progressing very quickly and should be completed as planned. The only question is the next direction of travel."

Liu Cheng poured Lin Chen a cup of tea, looked up and asked, "Didn't we decide on this before?"

Lin Chen sighed: "I understand that the super-large spacecraft jointly developed by other countries led by the United States is about to be successfully built. Their main target is the planet we discovered last time."

"They are so fast!" Liu Cheng also took it seriously.

"The problem is not their speed, but whether we should reveal our destination or hide our whereabouts," said Lin Chen.

This is really no small matter. There is an optimal location for landing on a planet, and the direction closest to the Earth is of course the best choice. If you want to hide your whereabouts, you have to avoid the closest point, which will require even more difficulties to overcome.

Liu Cheng gradually understood what Lin Chen meant.

"The military means to try not to expose our purpose." Liu Cheng replied. He was very sure of this.

Lin Chen lowered his eyes and said, "In that case, please give me instructions. I will change my course and go to the other side of the planet."

"Is this feasible? I mean, can current technology overcome it?" Liu Cheng asked.

Lin Chen smiled confidently: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have made this suggestion."

Liu Cheng said hurriedly: "If that's the case, I have to discuss it with the upper management and give you a reply tomorrow. However, the reason why I agreed to you just now is because I think this matter is basically settled."

All this was within Lin Chen's expectations, and he readily nodded in agreement.

The next day, Lin Chen received a clear reply from Liu Cheng that they needed to design a new orbit for the newly developed spacecraft. When Liu Cheng reported to his superiors, he emphasized that this was Lin Chen's proposal. The military leader highly praised this and awarded Lin Chen a medal through Liu Cheng to commend his outstanding contribution in the field of scientific research.

Lin Chen held the medal in his hand, staring at the word "Aerospace" on it, and felt heavy in his heart. Although it was just a basic medal and did not require a special commendation meeting, when Lin Chen received it, he still felt a little unusual. Perhaps it was because he had always regarded himself as a businessman, and he seemed out of tune with everyone present. He came here for business cooperation.

Liu Cheng did not leave, and seemed to have something else to say. At this time, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang. It had been nearly half a month since he left Lin Hai. Lin Chen kept in touch with Fang Lan every day, but usually not when he was working. This time Fang Lan called, it should be something urgent.

Liu Cheng motioned for Lin Chen to answer the phone. Lin Chen nodded and answered the phone. "Hello, Fang Lan."

Fang Lan's voice sounded a little anxious: "Lin Chen, Deji is in some trouble. I think she is suffering alone, so I wonder if you can help her."

"What's wrong? Tell me." Lin Chen asked.

"Deji contacted a filming team these two days, but she invested all the money she earned before into it, and now she can't contact the other party," Fang Lan explained.

Lin Chen understood immediately: "Is this a scam? The best thing to do is to call the police."

"We've called the police, but we've got to wait, so I was wondering if you could help me. The main thing is that all her savings were scammed." Fang Lan said.

Lin Chen looked up at Liu Cheng who was waiting beside him, and said to Fang Lan on the other end of the phone: "I understand how you feel. We have known Deji for such a long time. It is not easy for her to have such savings, but we still have to wait for the result of the police."

"Well, okay. Sorry, I was too anxious just now. I hope I didn't cause you any pressure." Fang Lan said.

"Don't worry. I have some things to deal with. We can discuss her affairs later when we have enough time." Lin Chen said and hung up the phone.

When Liu Cheng saw Lin Chen finish the call, he asked, "Boss Lin, are you okay? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Liu, tell me, what's the matter?"

Liu Cheng hurriedly told Lin Chen about the mission: "Many of the parts for the spacecraft we built this time were obtained from you. The military is thinking about whether it can build a special military factory to produce these parts. This requires your technical help."

It was obvious that the military wanted to obtain more technical knowledge from Lin Chen, rather than just asking him to solve the problem directly. Lin Chen smiled and responded, "Of course, that's no problem. You can arrange it here, as long as it doesn't delay the construction of the spacecraft."

His conversation with Liu Cheng went very smoothly, and the two had nothing to hide. At the same time, Fang Weihai of the Linhai Military Region hung up the phone with a serious expression. An Ran, who had just entered the room to report on her work, could only wait on the side.

Fang Weihai said to An Ran: "Xiao An, you came at the right time. I have a special mission for you and I need you to lead the team to handle it."

An Ran asked doubtfully, "What is the mission?"

"The local government came to us for help to crack down on a transnational fraud group," Fang Weihai replied.

"Another transnational fraud?" An Ran said subconsciously.

"Yes, there are some clues this time, and the police are also contacting all relevant victims. Part of the funds have been frozen and recovered in time, but some have already flowed into foreign accounts." Fang Weihai explained.

"Once the money flows abroad, time is very tight because the amounts have been dispersed and deposited onto different cards, and people in various places start withdrawing cash from the cards," said An Ran, who had handled similar cases before and was familiar with the process.

Fraud groups are like weeds that can never be burned out, popping up one after another. After accepting the task, An Ran immediately led the team to the grassroots police station in Linhai City and met the victims of the incident.

He immediately saw Fang Lan in the crowd, so he walked over and asked, "You were also deceived?"

Fang Lan was originally comforting Deji. When she heard someone talking to her, she looked up and saw that it was An Ran. She said, "It's not me, it's my friend. After receiving the call from here, she hurried over to cooperate with the work and see if we can recover the losses."

Deji also said to Anran: "When will the inquiry start?"

An Ran looked at the staff in the distance and said to Deji and Fang Lan, "Don't worry. They need to ask one by one. They are trying to verify the account information you left behind in order to recover the property losses."

After hearing An Ran's words, Deji and Fang Lan felt a little relieved and waited for their turn to ask questions.

After An Ran arrived at the police station, he immediately threw himself into his busy work. There were so many things to hand over that he was very busy. Deji was silent for a moment, and finally said to Fang Lan: "I want to ask Boss Lin for help, what do you think?"

Fang Lan explained: "I have called him before, and he asked us to come here first to check the situation. He will be free in the evening."

Deji said to herself, "That's right, this time is different from last time." For some reason, she always felt that Lin Chen would understand her predicament and be able to give her a lot of help, even though this time was completely different from the past.
