Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 839 - 538 Mover_2

The Butterfly Project was indeed a grand initiative, but as for those energy materials, only a faint glimmer was within grasp. To see more clearly may require waiting another five, ten years...

But sometimes, it must be said, stepping out of the loop can indeed solve problems.

Andrei’s database was a case in point. Who would have thought that his investment in space exploration, a man in the energy sector, could hold the key to the puzzle?

Not even Andrei’s own team knew!

What’s this called?

Deliberately planting flowers may not blossom, yet unintentionally sown seeds may thrive explosively!

The main focus was on meteorology and they didn’t figure it out, but those involved in space exploration, building rockets and spaceships, they actually did.

Though the data was very limited and there was still a long way to go, it had indeed significantly shortened the time needed to solve the puzzle.

Why was the Butterfly Project in such a rush to proceed with the second phase of near-sea testing? One of the reasons was that they wanted to use more experiments and data to parse that variable.

Now, the findings Feng Yi had come across could potentially enhance their problem-solving efficiency.

In the current environment, Feng Yi couldn’t disclose these matters publicly, but he could leverage his status as a specialist and submit this report through the channels of the Joint Protection Agency.

He knew there were more than one opinion within the Butterfly Project.

What he needed to do was amplify those differing voices inside the project, forcing every decision about the trial to be made with greater caution.

Feng Yi was not opposed to the Butterfly Project. He merely hoped that this grand endeavor could update its calculation models as soon as possible, so that meteorological weapons could be used more safely and energy materials could be produced consistently.

Sorting and processing the enormous amount of data and information was something Feng Yi couldn’t do alone.

But he had a team behind him.

While writing the report, Feng Yi noted all of this accordingly.

Feng Yi was genuinely pleased!

The excitement gave him the motivation he needed to write the mission report.

Yue Gongyang watched the entire process of Feng Yi leading the team to organize the report and understood the content that Feng Yi intended to submit.

"The contents of this report will surely spark fiercer debates within the Butterfly Project, but considering all factors, even if they realize that continuing with experiments is imprudent, they won’t easily stop," said Yue Gongyang.

Feng Yi replied calmly, "I’m just doing what I can."

Yue Gongyang remarked, "Some senior officials at the Joint Protection Agency will have opinions about you."

Feng Yi retorted, "What opinion could they have of me? Before they take issue with me, they should go find Andrei. Without his data, I wouldn’t have been able to write this report."

Yue Gongyang said with relief, "That’s right! It’s Andrei’s fault!"

Feng Yi was merely a data handler.

One from the Sixth Database, one from Andrei’s database.

The former was backed by the Joint Protection Agency and the entire Butterfly Project. They wouldn’t criticize themselves even if they had opinions.

Therefore, it was Andrei who had to bear the brunt of the anger.

Soon, the report was submitted.

Those who previously reviewed Feng Yi’s mission reports were baffled after seeing this one:

Verify the identity information.

It was indeed submitted by Feng Yi.

But this report had nothing to do with reptiles, with forests and jungles, nothing at all!

Being out of their area of expertise, the reviewer passed it to a colleague.

The other colleague, with sufficiently professional insight, identified the problem immediately, jumped up from his chair so shocked, disregarding the surprised looks from other colleagues, and promptly escalated the issue!

Feng Yi’s report was an analysis revolving around atmospheric monitoring and the unknown variable once mentioned by the Butterfly Project.

And it was soundly reasoned.

He raised multiple questions regarding the near-sea tests of the Butterfly Project that were in progress. Each question was incredibly sharp.

Whether these questions would receive a response wasn’t the concern of the reviewers. Feng Yi’s stance wasn’t surprising to them either.

His attitude had already been clear during the previous voting session.

The reviewers, along with the senior officials of the United Security Agency and personnel involved in the Butterfly Project, were looking at the data sources supporting the content in this report!

The members of the Butterfly Project team, faced with numerous questions, immediately called an emergency meeting after seeing the report.

Feng Yi’s report would not be made public, but there were indeed quite a few people with access to it!

As a result, even those within the project who had been wavering became more hesitant.

The second phase of the Butterfly Project’s experiment wouldn’t stop just because of Feng Yi’s report, but internal strife within the project increased.

Even in this meeting, a senior engineer with a strong sense of professional integrity fully demonstrated his professional conduct.

However, they held their meeting behind closed doors and wouldn’t let the outside know about it.

They hadn’t yet figured out how to respond to Feng Yi, so after much thought, they turned to question Andrei first.

Then, on a sunny and breezy afternoon.

While Andrei was enjoying a long-awaited period of peace and recuperation, a senior official from the United Security Agency and a high-level manager from the Butterfly Project paid him a visit.

Andrei was very unhappy that his rest was being disturbed.

"I hope you’re not with those barking mad dogs!"

The two visitors weren’t in the mood to beat around the bush and looked at him sternly.

Thinking to themselves: Was it you who provided Feng Yi with access to the data archive?!

The Butterfly Project’s manager didn’t say a word and threw a document on the table.

Andrei glanced at the document that was slammed in front of him and said confidently, "Too long; didn’t read."

The Butterfly Project manager sat across from him and asked as calmly as possible, "A year ago, on my fifth request for a meeting, I hoped that we could incorporate some meteorological data from your space project’s databases when integrating our data. You firmly refused! Stating that it was all classified!"

Andrei nodded, "Exactly, it’s all classified!"

"So, please explain how Feng Yi had access to ’classified’ information in your database? Don’t tell me you and the Ancestral Factory are like family!"

Andrei: "He paid."

The other party: "..."

Andrei: "Also, to correct you, we only opened a small part for him, and he only viewed a very small portion of the data, and he won’t disclose any of it publicly."

The person sitting across took a deep breath to remain calm in their speech:

"A year ago, I also said that we were willing to pay the necessary fees!"

Andrei shook his head and spread his hands, "It’s not the same, he paid too much."

The person across glared in anger.

Andrei was also annoyed, "Come on, I have given you a lot of support in other ways! Didn’t I help when you built satellites?! This time I just made a small trade with someone else."

The person across suppressed their emotions, "You have no idea what impact this will have on our project internally!" freewёbnoνel.com

Andrei was not at all intimidated, countering, "I truly don’t know, and should I know?"

Even if your Butterfly Project starts fighting among yourselves and messes up, what’s that got to do with me?

After a "you’re wrong" "I’m not wrong" tug-of-war, the visitors left unhappily.

Once the two were gone, Andrei’s nonchalant expression faded. He knew that the Butterfly Project’s team would soon pay a higher fee to access data from his side.

But he couldn’t feel the slightest bit of joy.

Heavily he spoke, "Oh, crap, their reaction has convinced me that I undersold in the deal with Feng Yi!"

I’ve lost a fortune!!

After a brief and profound moment of reflection, Andrei said, "No matter, this was the last time. He won’t get any more bargains from me!"
