Chapter 1630 "Missing" Again?

In Tiangong City Industrial Zone, there is an endless flow of industrial products, shuttled back and forth on a dedicated conveyor belt.

This is the heart of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Mars Colony, as well as the stomach of the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation. As small as the chopsticks on the dining table of Pan-Asian citizens, as large as the mass bullets in the main gun chamber of the flagship of the First Fleet, all consumables that people can imagine can be found here in their original appearance before they were put on the shelves.

Since the three-dimensional conveyor belts and pipelines almost filled the entire space, the factories and production workshops divided into blocks were closely arranged like cells, making this place almost the most intricate terrain in the entire Tiangong City.

Because of this layout that maximizes efficiency, many tourists ridicule it as a super factory depicted in a dystopian world.

It's as if, except for the workers who work here, every piece of dust sent here will be processed into what people want it to be.

In this densely arranged factory matrix, the most eye-catching area undoubtedly belongs to the production park of East Asia Heavy Industries.

The entire park is located in the very center of the industrial zone, and almost 80% of the traffic connections and arterial roads in the entire industrial zone are directly or indirectly related to it.

So much so that rumors once circulated in the industry that although East Asia Heavy Industries does not produce mineral water, without East Asia Heavy Industries, people in the entire Tiangong City may not be able to drink water.

As the general manager of the entire East Asia Heavy Industry Park, Zhao Ruicheng is undoubtedly the man standing at the top of the entire Mars industry chain. The people he comes into contact with every day are either the upper class of the colony's celebrities or the dignitaries of this generation.

It is basically impossible for ordinary people to meet him without referrals, and he doesn't bother to meet those unknown businessmen in person.

For example, Mr. Gladstone, the manager of the Nanmen II Colonial Exploration Foundation, in his opinion, undoubtedly meets the element of "being anonymous".

It has been almost 5 years since he was sent from the headquarters to the colony. During these 5 years, he has never heard of a well-known North Sea Alliance businessman named Gladstone.

Even if the Colonial Exploration Foundation is really in the limelight recently, it can't change Zhao Ruicheng's opinion.

After all, as the head of the core production base of East Asia Heavy Industries, no one knows better than him how far the warp drive is from civilian use...

"Warp drive?"

Looking at the man with a straight nose and a suit and leather shoes standing in front of him, Zhao Ruicheng frowned and said in a rather impatient tone.

"Sorry, the specific design drawings of the warp speed engine are still with Academician Lu. We only got a preliminary design plan and some requirements for the transformation of the production line. Before fully digesting this technology, we have not Academician Lu himself has never instructed me about the plan to launch it into the market.”

Upon hearing the news, Gladstone was slightly taken aback, with an expression of surprise written on his face, and said in a tone that shouldn't be believed.

"What you got... Are you sure it's just a design plan?"

"Yes...why are you asking about this?" Zhao Ruicheng's eyes suddenly became alert, he looked this guy up and down, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Anyway, that's the way it is, we can't make a warp drive, you either Go to Academician Lu, or whoever you like."

Realizing his abruptness, Gladstone showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and made an apologetic gesture with both hands.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to inquire, I just heard rumors about it."

"Is it a rumor?" Zhao Ruicheng smiled coldly, and raised his chin slightly, "Then I have heard a lot of rumors here. For example, a certain company bought 100,000 scrap checks based on 'rumors', and returned Trying to continue cheating in the name of Academician Lu."

"You can look down on my dream, but you can't insult my personality, Manager Zhao, I will use my actions to prove that it is not a scrap check, but a boat ticket to Nanmen 2."

Zhao Ruicheng glanced at him expressionlessly, and slightly pulled the corner of his mouth upwards.

"Then I wish you luck."

After leaving Zhao Ruicheng's office, Gladstone, accompanied by his secretary and security guards, left the industrial park of East Asia Heavy Industries.

Looking back at the closed door, his brows were gradually stained with smog.

"The drawings haven't been sent to the factory yet? How is this possible..."

After whispering a few words to himself, Gladstone stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on his left wrist, exhaled the video interface that only his AR glasses could see, opened the address book and dialed a number.

Soon, the call went through.

The man who appeared in the video window was none other than Xiao Hong.

Facing the camera, the man said with a pleasant face.

"How is it? Have you met Zhao Ruicheng?"

"There is a problem with the intelligence, and the drawings have not been sent here at all."

Hearing this sentence, he was slightly taken aback, and then frowned.

"Did Zhao Ruicheng say he wasn't here, or was he really not here?"

"He doesn't look like he's lying, but just to be on the safe side, I'll send someone to confirm."

"This is the best way. I will also arrange for people to visit Academician Xia Lu." After nodding his head and pondering for a while, he said, "If the design plan is on him, maybe we can consider other options if necessary. way."

"what do you mean……"

He didn't speak, but answered his question with his eyes.

A smile appeared on Gladstone's face, and he said softly.

"I see what you mean."

...

After coming out of the secret stronghold of the Security Bureau, Wang Peng was trying to contact Lu Zhou. However, no matter how he called, the only thing that echoed in his ears was a reminder of "no longer in the service area".

Sensing that something might be wrong, Wang Peng immediately rushed to the Starry Sky Hotel where Lu Zhou was staying.

Just as he was walking to the elevator door, he suddenly saw a familiar face, so he quickly grabbed that person and asked.

"Hello, do you know where Academician Lu is?"

Looking at the stranger in front of him who had no memory at all, Wu Qinglai's face was filled with a blank expression.

"Are you... looking for Academician Lu?"

"Yes," Wang Peng nodded, as if he was worried that this guy would not take what he said to heart, so he immediately turned on the holographic screen to call up his own electronic certificate, placed it in front of Professor Wu Qinglai, and then seriously He continued, "It's a very important matter, I hope you can cooperate with my work."

Although I haven't seen what the evidence of the security bureau agents looks like, the anti-counterfeiting code on the certificate of the public official cannot be faked.

Thinking that it was actually an agent from the Security Bureau who asked him the question, Wu Qinglai swallowed nervously and continued.

"I had lunch with him. I remember he went back to his room after eating. Oh, yes, he sent me a message before, saying that if someone asked where he was at the meeting in the afternoon, let me Ask for a leave of absence for him, and use the excuse that he is not feeling well."

Wang Peng: "Are you sure he didn't come out of the room?"

"How do you ask me to confirm this for you?" Professor Wu Qinglai smiled helplessly when he saw the words on his anxious face. "Why don't you ask the front desk? Anyway, you are the one... It should be nothing to call the surveillance Question?"

Just then, the elevator arrived.

Leaving Wu Qinglai behind, Wang Peng quickly walked into the elevator and pressed a number on the floor dial.

Seeing that Ma Shan was about to close the elevator door, Wu Qinglai originally planned to follow, but seeing this guy's "violent" and "unkind" look on his face, he finally hesitated and didn't go up with him.

Instead, he quietly turned on the holographic screen of his personal terminal, and sent a short message to Lu Zhou to remind him.

Regardless of whether he is a real Security Bureau agent or not, this posture will definitely not be a good thing.

The elevator went all the way up and soon arrived at the destination.

Wang Peng walked to the door of Lu Zhou's room without stopping, reached out and pressed the doorbell.

However, the doorbell rang for a long time, but there was no response from behind the door.

Frowning slightly, Wang Peng took out a card from his pocket and swiped it lightly on the door.

"The situation is urgent, I'm sorry brother."

If you see something you shouldn't see, it's a big deal to apologize to him sincerely at that time. Compared with those unimportant things, he cared more about his safety.

With the sound of an unlocking reminder, the door opened quickly, but there was no one in the room.

Obviously, Academician Lu is not here.

Are you out?

Just when he had such an idea, just when Wang Peng was about to close the door and look elsewhere, a strange feeling suddenly rose from his heart.

wrong……

His eyes were locked on the upside-down suitcase, and he subconsciously put his hand close to the weapon, and looked around vigilantly.

"This has been searched..."

Someone came here before him!

And almost searched Academician Lu's room!

Realizing this, Wang Peng's face was instantly darkened, and his right fist on his waist was tightly clenched.

"...These bastards, the ghosts of Mrs. Zhente linger."

There are various signs that someone hijacked Lu Zhou!

Who could it be?

Someone from the Foundation?

At this moment, Wang Peng suddenly recalled what the intelligence worker said to him.

"..."

Chewing this sentence repeatedly in his mouth, Wang Peng, who subconsciously read it out, gradually had a hint of enlightenment written in his pupils.

as well as……

Unbelievable expression!

"How is this possible... No, it seems that there is only one explanation."

If this is the case, then all the clues he possessed will be connected in series.

a year ago!

That is probably the same as Song Yangwei...

Wang Peng didn't know what all this was because of, and he didn't know what kind of obsession it was that kept those people from giving up after a century, and he wasn't interested in understanding why they were following Lu. Boat.

At this moment, there was only one thing he was sure of.

"I want to hurt him..."

The corners of his mouth gradually opened into a cruel arc, and a fierce light flickered in his black pupils.

"Then step over my corpse first!"

This is neither a job nor an obligation as an agent of the Security Service.

Just from 100 years ago, it belongs to his mission...
