Huo Shaoheng had been in the military for so many years. After making this decision, he was mentally prepared to give up everything.
However, he did not expect that not only did General Ji not stop him, but he also strongly supported him in finding Nianzhi. What was even rarer was that he did not have to retire from the military!
Even Huo Shaoheng, who had always been calm and collected, was shocked speechless.
He looked up at General Ji in disbelief.
General Ji patted his shoulder and sighed. "Now that things have come to this, I think it's time to tell you some things."
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's eyes twitched. "I don't understand."
General Ji picked up the red phone in the study and dialed a few numbers before saying to Huo Shaoheng, "Let's go to the small meeting room of the Standing Committee."
This small conference room had a level of security that was no less than that of the central control room of the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
In a way, it was even better than the central control room.
Because here, it was humans who made the important decisions, not machines.
Huo Shaoheng suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed General Ji to the small meeting room of the Standing Committee.
There were already six other standing committee members waiting there. There was also someone Huo Shaoheng didn't expect — his mother, Song Jinning.
"Ms. Song, why are you here?" Huo Shaoheng frowned and looked at her, then at the seven standing committee members in the small conference room.
There were a total of 15 standing committee members in the Huaxia Imperial Military Supreme Council, but seven of them had a higher security level than the other eight. They were considered standing committee members among the standing committee members.
The empire's greatest secret was held by these seven members of the standing committee.
Even his father, Huo Guanchen, one of the 15 members of the Standing Committee, wasn't here. Therefore, Song Jinning's appearance was a complete surprise to Huo Shaoheng.
Song Jinning was extremely beautiful and had the charm of someone much younger than her age.
However, her current expression was very serious, completely lacking her usual relaxed and easygoing demeanor.
She also glanced at Huo Shaoheng and looked at General Ji inquiringly. "General Ji, what do you mean? Is Shaoheng's … security clearance high enough? "
"On this matter, I discussed it with the other six members of the Standing Committee and decided to give him special permission." General Ji nodded and extended his hand. "Everyone, please sit."
The people in the room sat down around the round conference table.
The seven standing committee members, plus Song Jinning and Huo Shaoheng, made up a total of nine people sitting around the round table.
General Ji cleared his throat and was the first to speak.
"It's like this. Today, Shaoheng came to me and requested to be discharged from the army."
Song Jinning turned to look at Huo Shaoheng in shock.
She knew that in her son's heart, the interests of the country and the army were above everything else.
Why would he take the initiative to retire?
Huo Shaoheng sat upright in his chair. He knew that everyone was looking at him. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he was as still as a mountain.
General Ji continued, "… Because he wanted to find Gu Nianzhi."
Song Jinning heaved a sigh of relief. So that was how it was.
She sat next to Huo Shaoheng and quietly reached out to hold Huo Shaoheng's hand tightly as if she was cheering him on.
Huo Shaoheng returned the handshake to express his gratitude.
He let go of Song Jinning's hand without batting an eyelid, his expression unchanged.
General Ji glanced at the other members of the Standing Committee, then looked at Song Jinning and said, "Of course I don't agree with Shaoheng's retirement. Besides, he's going to look for Gu Nianzhi. This matter doesn't conflict with his duties."
Huo Shaoheng: "???"
To him, looking for Gu Nianzhi was because he loved her. It was his private matter. How could it not conflict with his duties?
Song Jinning received General Ji's look and said, "So, you all agree to let Shaoheng know about this?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Song Jinning turned on the laptop she had brought and connected it to the big screen in the small conference room. She said, "Then I'll say it."
Huo Shaoheng's gaze moved to the big screen with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Shaoheng, you know that the military worked with our Institute of High Energy Physics 17 years ago to conduct a magnetic field experiment. Do you know what the purpose was?"
Song Jinning looked at him seriously, with the sharpness and rigor of her usual experiments.
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment and said, "For energy?"
Generally speaking, when everyone heard the concept of a high-energy magnetic field, they would think of an emerging energy source. It was efficient, environmentally friendly, renewable, and sustainable.
"Yes, and no." Song Jinning pointed the laser pen in her hand at the big screen and said very calmly, "The emerging energy source is only a by-product of the high-energy magnetic field research. In fact, our laboratory and the military worked together to start the high-energy magnetic field experiment, mainly to produce magnetic field resonance and open a path to parallel.
The passage to the universe. "
“Parallel
Universe？！” Huo Shaoheng suddenly raised his head. His deep eyes were mixed with wildness and unbridled, like a sleeping tiger that had suddenly been awakened. "There really is a parallel space?! How did you think of starting this experiment?! Who else knows about this secret experiment? What about Bai Jinyi? Does she know?! "
Huo Shaoheng had undergone many years of professional training, and his sense of confidentiality was deeply rooted in his bones.
As soon as he heard the true purpose of the experiment, he immediately thought of the possibility of a leak.
Song Jinning was familiar with the contents of the experiment, but she didn't know what Huo Shaoheng had asked.
Therefore, General Ji took over the topic and spoke with confidence.
"The start of this experiment was first proposed by your uncle, Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan. At that time, he didn't say where he got the information from, but now we know that it was Gu Xiangwen who contacted him and told him that two countries were already conducting high-energy magnetic field experiments in this area. These two countries were the United States and Japan. "
"Since they have already started this experiment, we can't fall behind."
"Due to well-known reasons, among these two countries, the United States is fine, but Japan is very alarming."
"If Japan finds the passage to the parallel space first, it might mean another tragic fate of falling behind and being beaten up for our country."
"And our country and people can no longer withstand such a hundred years of devastation."
"Therefore, after the military received the news, they sent many people to the United States and Japan to investigate. After losing dozens of elite field personnel, they finally found that this information was true."
"For example, Japan has the famous high-energy physicist Ishihara Baisan leading this magnetic field experiment. Needless to say, the United States is led by all the leading physicists."
"Under these circumstances, we decided to start this project. At that time, because this experiment was very likely related to the survival of our country for the next hundred years, we listed it as top secret plan A."
"Among all the top secrets, this was the top one, and it was stipulated that the person who knew this information must be a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Supreme Council, which is the seven-member group. In addition, the military sent a liaison person to cooperate with the Institute of High Energy Physics, which is your uncle, Huo Guanyuan, and the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. "
"In other words, the number of people who know this information will always be a maximum of nine people, not one more."
"Our seven-member group is the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee. We are all lifelong, so we don't have to worry about leaks."
"The first liaison person was Huo Guanyuan, and this plan was proposed by him. Of course, we don't have to worry about him leaking information."
"At that time, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Song Haichuan, was only told the truth after a strict assessment."
"We also set up a strict assessment procedure to assess the second liaison person and the second director of the Institute of High Energy Physics."
"Later, as you know, the experiment failed. The magnetic resonance caused a huge amount of energy to be uncontrollable. In the end, it led to a big explosion, which almost razed the entire experimental building to the ground."
"Other than your mother, Song Jinning, all the experimenters, experimental equipment, and experimental records inside were lost."
"Later, when the bodies were counted, we found that your uncle, Huo Guanyuan, and four soldiers had disappeared without a trace."
"And your mother's brain also fell into a state of mental disorder due to the impact of the magnetic field explosion, and she forgot a large part of her memories."
"Under these circumstances, we sealed the truth of the experiment."
"Later, Bai Jinyi took over as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. She failed our assessment, so we didn't tell her the truth about the magnetic field experiment."
"She didn't know what these magnetic field experiments were for, so she turned the experiment in the direction of using high-energy magnetic field experiments to study new energy sources."
"It wasn't until your mother recovered from her illness and took over as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. She found some experimental notes left by your grandfather, Song Haichuan, at home and asked us for confirmation. "
"That's why we restarted her assessment."
"Fortunately, Director Song passed our assessment, so the seven of us told her the truth about the experiment and decrypted the top-secret plan A."
"Director Song didn't let us down. He really kept this secret. Even when his own son was in great trouble, he didn't reveal anything."
General Ji sincerely praised Song Jinning's ability to keep secrets.
Huo Shaoheng's profession was intelligence and confidentiality, so he didn't have the slightest resentment towards Song Jinning.
Public was public and private was private. He was very clear about that.
Hearing this, Huo Shaoheng had some ideas. He asked calmly, "… So, does all of this have anything to do with Nianzhi's disappearance?"
"I think you already understand. When I was reporting this discovery, I had already reported it to the seven-member group of the Standing Committee of the Military Supreme Council, "Song Jinning said calmly. "At that time, when I was examining the video of the intersection of the Third Ring Road, I found traces of magnetic resonance."
Huo Shaoheng's pupils suddenly constricted.
The doubts in his heart had been confirmed. His hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly under the conference table, and his heart pounded.
General Ji nodded. "At that time, Director Song made a separate report to the seven of us. She inferred that Gu Nianzhi should have been abducted to the parallel space on the opposite side. "
