Chapter 364 The Older Generation
Earth: Academy of Sciences building.
A secret team of dozens of people, led by Bi Yunfeng, bypassed all the Earth Alliance's security forces and silently sneaked into the Academy of Sciences building.
Meanwhile, the committee meeting of the Earth Federation was also held as scheduled, so there were very few people from the Academy of Sciences today.
Most of the core members have already gone to the Dilian Building for a meeting.
Those who remain at the Academy of Sciences now, apart from some researchers who are not qualified to attend the conference, are only the officers who are still remotely commanding the Star Fleet into frontline combat.
Unlike the other two main fleets, the research institute's fleet is quite complicated to operate. Although soldiers do not need to be on the front lines, the scheduling of each shipborne unit requires the assistance of a large number of researchers.
This can only be considered an innovation by the research institute. If they had seen the mind technology of Earth-3, they would probably have more ideas about this kind of remote control.
With Cao Bin's ID card in hand, Bi Yunfeng had no trouble getting through. Even when people passed by them, they would only give him a brief greeting.
"Commissioner Bi, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be attending today's committee meeting?"
"Something came up, so I came back to pick up some things."
Bi Yunfeng gave a few perfunctory replies and headed straight for the office at the deepest part of the underground.
Unlike other buildings, the Academy of Sciences has some insignificant administrative units on the surface, while the truly core departments of engineering, energy, and statistics are buried deep underground.
Now that Wang Miao and Ding Yi have both left, only one person in the entire Academy of Sciences can make the final decision—Wei Cheng.
"We need to have a peace talk."
When Bi Yunfeng led a team of people and broke into the office, Wei Cheng was not surprised at all. In fact, he didn't even look at Bi Yunfeng directly.
At this moment, Wei Cheng was still the same as usual, with most of his face covered by curly hair, which hadn't been washed for many days, and there were even many knots on it.
What held his gaze so intently was a densely covered draft paper on the table—the data structure for Wei Cheng's calculation of the stargate's three-dimensional vector function.
Since the development of warp drive, Wei Cheng proposed a new idea: could a stargate bridge be built to accelerate the initial speed of ordinary fleets to a level similar to that of warp drive, and then gradually decrease it?
As soon as the plan was proposed, it received strong support from Wang Miao. Thus, the Star Fleet was born. The fleet was not only equipped with various new weapons from the Academy of Sciences, but even its hull structure was designed to be able to pass through stargates.
So Wei Cheng has been gone for so long because he has been working on perfecting this matter. Otherwise, he, one of the core members of the Lin Party, would still be here instead of being transferred.
Seeing that Wei Cheng was ignoring him completely, Bi Yunfeng was not annoyed. He simply moved a chair and sat opposite Wei Cheng, watching him scribble and draw on the draft paper as he spoke.
“Radiaz wants to use RimWorld to force the AAA and the Ring Corporation to back down, but you should know that the technology that appeared on the battlefield this time was definitely not something the Ring Corporation could have created on its own!”
Wei Cheng didn't speak, but simply nodded, which was taken as agreement with Bi Yunfeng's words.
"Now, our top priority is to immediately remove Diaz from his position as frontline commander. We can't let him continue like this. If the RimWorld is really destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Minister Wei, the Earth Alliance is now at a critical juncture, is it really going to stand idly by?"
Wei Cheng paused slightly while writing, but quickly resumed his writing with a steady hand.
The two fell into an eerie silence. After a long while, Wei Cheng finally stopped writing, stood up, took a seal from the table, and tossed it to Bi Yunfeng.
The latter subconsciously reached out and caught it, only to find that the other party had given him the seal of the Minister of the Academy of Sciences.
This item was entrusted to Wei Cheng for safekeeping by Wang Miao. Bi Yunfeng's original purpose in coming to the Academy of Sciences was simply to gain their support, but he didn't expect that Wei Cheng would hand it over to him directly.
"This……"
Just as Bi Yunfeng was about to say something, Wei Cheng calmly walked up to him and, to everyone's astonishment, snatched the pistol from Bi Yunfeng's waist!
He disengaged the safety, chambered the bullet, aimed it at his arm, and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
With a flash of plasma inside the gun barrel, Wei Cheng's arm was instantly pierced. Before the blood could even spray out, the wound was stitched together by the high-energy plasma, like a soldering iron.
Then, Wei Cheng calmly handed the gun to Bi Yunfeng with his other hand.
This scene happened so suddenly that not only Bi Yunfeng was stunned, but the people behind him were also stunned.
Wei Cheng is a ruthless guy. Without saying a word, he shot himself in the arm first.
But it must be said that this was indeed the smartest approach, since in doing so, the original negotiations turned into Bi Yunfeng kidnapping Wei Cheng and taking away the ministerial seal of the Academy of Sciences.
Regardless of whether Bi Yunfeng succeeds or not, the Chinese Academy of Sciences can remain uninvolved.
Although he didn't say anything from beginning to end, he did everything that needed to be done. This is Wei Cheng, a genius who is so calm that he is even crazy.
When Bi Yunfeng came out of Wei Cheng's office, his head was spinning. Wei Cheng's actions had disrupted his originally clear thoughts.
"Commissioner Bi, what... what do we do next?"
One of the men standing next to Bi Yunfeng asked tentatively. They were all Bi Yunfeng's confidants, and they had come with him this time prepared for the worst. At worst, they would launch a coup and seize power from the Earth Alliance first. As for the matter of Rediaz, they would think of other ways. As long as they could protect the Ringworld, everything else was negotiable.
After all, in their view, apart from the core members of the Lin Party, everyone else in the entire Earth Alliance was easy to deal with. Now that Luo Congmin and the others were gone, launching a coup seemed to be less difficult.
But Wei Cheng had a huge psychological impact on them. His shot made everyone start thinking about a question.
Are these people, born in the Deterrence Era, truly capable of taking over such a vast Earth Federation?
Bi Yunfeng took a deep breath and calmed the pressure in his heart.
"Time is of the essence, everyone. We only have one hour left. We must seize full control of the Star Fleet as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood the situation and quickly dispersed, forming pairs to begin their actions.
In an instant, gunshots rang out throughout the entire Academy of Sciences.
About 20 minutes later, the entire building was completely under Bi Yunfeng's control. All Star Fleet officers and research directors, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, were gathered in a conference room on the first floor.
Bi Yunfeng and his dozen or so men, armed with guns, surrounded the entire conference hall.
At this point, the Academy of Sciences had been completely taken over.
