What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Pan Huancheng was also a prodigy in his early years, and was also the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

After entering university, he also received a government-funded opportunity to study abroad and stayed abroad for several years.

During this time, he was silently corrupted.

Even he himself didn't know when he started working for others.

Espionage seemed to have become a part of his life, just like eating and sleeping.

Many times before, his superiors had assigned him very difficult tasks.

But faced with the lure of a huge reward, the old man still risked his life to complete it.

Therefore, this time it is relatively simple.

With Director Xu's endorsement.

Pan Huancheng could easily access wind tunnel test data without arousing suspicion.

He himself is very experienced.

Having spent less than two minutes in the server room, they had already secretly taken pictures of the data with a miniature camera.

One day later.

Pan Huancheng met with the superior who was in direct contact with him.

His name is Wesley, and his cover identity is an engineer at a foreign company. His persona is that of a tennis enthusiast.

Therefore, he and Pan Huancheng mostly met on the tennis court.

They didn't communicate much throughout the process, and the intelligence was usually stored in a specially made tennis ball.

The exchange was completed silently, and then they were taken away from the scene.

This intelligence-sharing model has been in place for two years, and they believe it is flawless.

Therefore, Wesley and his superiors attached great importance to the Pan Huancheng line.

Wesley even has direct access to the CAI cross-domain task center.

After deciphering and confirming the intelligence, Wesley realized that this intelligence was of great importance.

So he immediately used the excuse of returning to China to visit relatives to buy a plane ticket for the next morning and flew directly to Cai's headquarters.

……

……

Langley Headquarters, Intelligence Analysis Bureau.

In a dimly lit conference room, everyone was somewhat uneasy.

Three types of people are sitting in these rooms.

The first type is intelligence analysis experts, the second is internal analysts, and the third is scientists from the Science and Technology Bureau.

Either way.

They all have one thing in common—they are all experts on issues related to China.

Therefore, those of you here can roughly deduce the direction of the problem.

Shortly after, Bruce, the deputy director of the Intelligence Analysis Bureau, entered the room.

"Gentlemen, we have just received news."

"The University of Tokyo has indeed approved a project codenamed yunji."

"The research and development site is located in Xijing."

The deputy director's words confirmed everyone's suspicions.

Immediately, people started discussing it amongst themselves.

"Director, we have also obtained relevant information in the field of open source intelligence."

An all-source intelligence analyst immediately stood up to explain, as if to take credit.

"According to information from social media, this person named Zhou Jiahao appears to be involved in the Yunji project."

"By tracing back his social media and social network, we confirmed that this project was likely led by Northwestern Polytechnical University."

"Therefore, our investigation should focus on..."

Bruce sneered, "No need for reconnaissance, I have reliable information."

An inside player like Pan Huancheng.

Spreading a single message is equivalent to two years of hard work by other intelligence analysts in the office.

While intelligence analysts were still trying to get in from the outside, Bruce already had concrete information about the project.

What I am about to say is all factual and does not require any interpretation.

"The University of Tokyo has confirmed that it has started a test of a hypersonic drone."

"With Northwestern Polytechnical University taking the lead, we suspect that Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (XAC) is also very likely to be involved."

"This project is progressing very rapidly, and a wind tunnel test has already been conducted."

"The basic data is here!"

Done.

Data appeared on the large screen behind Bruce.

"The emergence of data means that they have pushed the project to an extremely rapid pace."

"The question now is, what do these data represent?"

"Success or failure?"

"What exactly is the positioning of Yunji as a project?"

Done.

Bruce's gaze shifted downwards, landing in the farthest corner.

Three experts were sitting there, from the Cai Science and Technology Bureau. They were top experts in the aviation industry and also Cai's trusted equipment intelligence analysts.

Most importantly, all three of them have experience working at the University of Tokyo and know the university very well.

"Chief Bruce, may I ask a question?"

Bass stared at the multimedia screen for a long time before slowly speaking.

Bruce: "Please ask, Dr. Buss."

Are these data accurate?

Bruce was somewhat surprised: "Of course! I can assure you that this data is all firsthand information."

"If that's the case, then the problem is very serious."

Bass stood up, feeling immense pressure.

"First of all, what does it mean that you can obtain wind tunnel data?"

"This means that the preliminary feasibility study for this aircraft is nearing completion."

"It has now entered the actual research and development stage."

Bruce nodded: "We had a rough estimate of that; they are indeed very fast."

"But Dr. Buss, based on your experience..."

"When is the earliest this plane will land?"

Bass: "The most pessimistic estimate is two years, and the most optimistic estimate is five years."

Bath is very knowledgeable about the drone industry at the University of Tokyo.

he knows.

Whenever there's an opportunity, the University of Tokyo will mobilize the entire nation's resources.

The aircraft has now reached the wind tunnel stage, and mass production is only a matter of time.

Bruce didn't realize how serious the problem was: "Two to five years, that's too fast, it doesn't give us any chance to catch up."

"No!"

Bass waved his hand.

"The most terrifying thing is not time, but the data itself."

He went to the big screen and kept shaking his head as he looked at the pile of decimal points.

"Judging from these data, this aircraft must be epoch-making."

"These figures are absolutely astonishing!"

"With my limited knowledge, I simply cannot imagine what kind of airplane they have developed."

Bruce was taken aback: "That's outrageous!?"

"It's so exaggerated it's almost unreal."

Bass nodded, with utmost solemnity.

"Wind tunnel data like this is rare in the history of the aviation industry."

"If I were to work backwards from the wind tunnel data..."

"I suspect they're making water droplets!"

In a short time.

The room was completely silent.

They all knew that Dr. Bath was a meticulous person.

When he used the image of water droplets to describe the data before him, everyone felt as if the sky had fallen.

Dongda University is already a leader in the drone industry, and now they've unveiled a Waterdrop drone...

It's terrifying to think about closely, and it's also terrifying to think about superficially.

After a minute of silence, Bruce picked up the phone on the table.

"Hello, Chief, it's me."

"..."

"I have an important report to give, and it would be best if I could meet with Your Excellency the Commander."

"..."

"Yes, it's very urgent. I suggest that we try to get representatives from Boeing and Lockheed Martin to attend the meeting, as it's related to the aviation industry."
