Could It Be a Scam?

The Colonel walked up to Guo Hao and Xu Yuan, giving them a straight military salute.

"Colonel Regiment Commander of Unit XXXX, Zhao Jingzhong, reporting for duty to Director Guo!"

Several other Majors also looked toward Guo Hao with serious gazes and saluted.

"Relax a bit."

Guo Hao said with a smile to the three in front of him.

"In the future, there's no need to salute when you see me. We'll be seeing each other all the time; saluting constantly is just a waste of time."

"Yes! Director Guo!"

Regiment Commander Zhao Jingzhong said seriously to Guo Hao.

"Alright, take me inside to have a look! Regiment Commander Zhao."

"Certainly!"

With that, Regiment Commander Zhao led Guo Hao into the military camp.

"This place is our surface military camp. Any photography is strictly prohibited here, and unauthorized entry is not allowed.

The Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center that you can control is located at the very end of the interior," Regiment Commander Zhao said to Guo Hao.

After speaking, everyone slowly walked toward the foot of the mountain.

Passing through the heart of the mountain, soon, a flat valley appeared in the eyes of Guo Hao and the group. This place was very spacious, and the area was very large.

"This place passes through a mountain range and leads directly to the sea. According to your requirements, the Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor also needs a large amount of water resources. Whether it's taking water or anything else here, it's extremely simple," Regiment Commander Zhao continued to lead Guo Hao forward.

"This is a place we specifically found based on your needs."

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Guo Hao looked at the valley before him, his gaze very satisfied.

There was spring water nearby, and not far away was the sea. This place was also hidden, and the key was that the military camp was built on the periphery, so ordinary people had no way to enter.

It could be said there were many advantages, very good!

"Let's use this place then. Have the construction team start work as soon as possible; we need to wait here for a very long time."

Guo Hao took a deep breath and spoke to Xu Yuan and Regiment Commander Zhao.

"Rest assured, the first group of the construction team over there has already started moving in. It's a construction company, mainly building houses. It won't take too much time," Regiment Commander Zhao said to Guo Hao with a smile.

"Hmm." Guo Hao nodded.

He roughly instructed Regiment Commander Zhao on a few matters, then met with the construction team's engineers to hand over some details.

Guo Hao did these things very skillfully.

While Guo Hao was busy.

Southwest Institute of Physics.

Zhou Yuan was an Academician specializing in Controlled Nuclear Fusion at the physics institute and was one of the few Academicians in the country in this field.

He had just finished a busy day and was about to go home when two people suddenly stood at his door.

"You two are...?" Zhou Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at the two people standing at the entrance. Looking at the black clothes they wore, Zhou Yuan sensitively felt that these two before him were very unusual!

Definitely not ordinary people!

He became much more cautious, looking at the two before him and asking carefully.

"Academician Zhou, would it be convenient for us to go inside and talk?"

A man in black took out an identification card and showed it to Academician Zhou.

National Security again?

Zhou Yuan was even more shocked in his heart. I haven't done anything like embezzlement or corruption, have I? Why would I attract people from National Security?

He felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

"Please come in, you two!"

Academician Zhou wasn't too afraid; after all, a clear conscience fears no knock at the door. If there were problems to clarify, it would be fine, no need to say more.

With that, Academician Zhou opened his door.

The two National Security personnel followed Academician Zhou into the room.

They sat down by the tea table.

Academician Zhou called for his partner to help pour tea.

As for himself, he looked at the two National Security personnel with curiosity and asked.

"What brings you two to see me?"

Hearing Academician Zhou's words, the two National Security personnel looked at each other.

"It's like this, Academician Zhou. We've come today because there is currently an extremely important classified research project for which we hope to get your help.

However, so to speak, you might not be able to return home for a very long time, and for a long period, you'll need to remain anonymous. Not only will you be unable to publish papers.

You won't even be able to log into social media platforms. Are you willing?"

the National Security officer said seriously to Academician Zhou.

Hearing the National Security officer's words, Academician Zhou was slightly stunned. He really hadn't expected the National Security personnel to pose such a question.

This left Academician Zhou completely dazed.

A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"May I ask what kind of research it is?"

Academician Zhou asked the National Security officer.

"Sorry, we cannot say," the National Security officer directly refused Academician Zhou's request.

"I need to think about it."

After a long silence, Academician Zhou didn't directly refuse the National Security personnel's proposal. He wanted to know what kind of research it was.

But for National Security personnel to come to his door personally...

Wait!

At this moment, Academician Zhou suddenly felt something was wrong.

It couldn't be a scam, could it?

He hadn't heard of any classified projects for a long time!

Furthermore, his research direction was Controlled Nuclear Fusion. In this field, the whole world cooperated, and many research results were shared; there was simply no such thing as a secret!

Why would a classified project suddenly appear, and one that he just happened to know nothing about?

Academician Zhou looked warily at the two National Security personnel before him.

They aren't some kind of swindlers, are they?

"How can you prove what you're saying?"

The two National Security personnel looked at each other and gave a helpless smile.

"You can call General Manager Huang of the Hegong Group to confirm the truth of this matter."

Hearing the National Security officer's words, Academician Zhou didn't hesitate and directly called General Manager Huang. He and General Manager Huang had interacted many times.

Personally, there were also many connections between the two.

Soon, the call went through.

Academician Zhou spoke directly about this matter to General Manager Huang.

A long silence followed.

"Old Zhou, I can't tell you the specifics, but the two National Security comrades in front of you should be real.

I can't reveal specific information, but I guarantee that as long as you come! You will definitely not regret it."

After hanging up General Manager Huang's call.

Academician Zhou was silent for a long time.

"Please have some tea!"

Just then, Academician Zhou's partner brought the tea and said with a smile to the two National Security personnel.

"I'll go with you!"

Academician Zhou said seriously to the two National Security personnel beside him.

"What???"

Academician Zhou's partner was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Academician Zhou and asked.

"Go do what??? For how long???"
