The call with Garen Smith didn't last long, and soon Raymond Anthony turned off his Bluetooth headset, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes...
"Hi! Raymond!"
Not far away, the volunteers waved at Raymond Anthony in the car. Raymond Anthony smiled and signaled, then took a few steps to get on the pickup truck and continued to rush to the next point.
It was not until the evening that Raymond Anthony, who had completed all the distribution work, waved goodbye to his friends, walked out of a street alone under the thick snow, and a black luxury car was parked quietly on the side of the road. When he saw Raymond Anthony coming over, the door opened quietly and got in the car. The old butler Brooke turned around and greeted him first, and then asked if he would stay in the city for another day or go back to the farm directly.
"Go to the airport!" Raymond Anthony, who seemed a little tired, ordered, and then closed his eyes.
Brooke didn't ask much, started the car and quickly left the street and headed towards the airport in the dark.
More than an hour later, the car drove into a small airport not far from the big airport. This place was Raymond Anthony's private airport, and one of his private planes had already stopped on the runway.
Raymond Anthony, who had napped in the car, was still as energetic as usual. The airport ground staff who had been notified were also ready to take off at any time. After getting off the car, he boarded the plane directly, but did not use the pilot, but entered the cockpit himself.
"Tower, tower, u712jj0321 requests takeoff! u712jj0321 requests takeoff!"
After putting on the phone, checking the plane's condition, and confirming that everything was correct, Raymond Anthony connected the tower. Soon the tower came back and responded to allowing takeoff. Under the command of the tower, the single-engine small aircraft taxied for a distance on the runway, and the nose gradually pulled up and flew into the sky...
At 23:17 at night, at the military airport in District 51, Garen Smith, who had been waiting for it, finally saw two shining red lights lighted from the black night sky in the distance. Through the tower, it was confirmed that the arrival of the plane was a private plane driven by Raymond Anthony himself. After confirming the identity, the tower issued an order to allow landing to the other party. At this time, Garen Smith walked off the tower and came to the runway to wait.
The plane landed quickly, taxied on the runway and slowed down, and finally stopped steadily on a rig. When the propeller stopped rotating, the aircraft's cabin door opened, first down the gangway, and then Raymond Anthony's figure appeared in front of Garen Smith.
"Mr. Anthony, welcome to Paradise Ranch..."
"Hello, Garen, thank you for picking me up."
"plz follow me……."
Simply greeted, Garen Smith led Raymond Anthony outward, and a car was waiting not far away.
After getting in the car, they arrived at the ground building in District 51 for more than ten minutes, waited to enter Garen Smith's office and poured a cup of steaming coffee for the guests. Garen Smith then gave Raymond Anthony a practical work report.
The general situation was briefly discussed on the previous phone call, but the phone did not have a comprehensive report after all. During the report, Garen Smith turned on the computer on the desk and compared the explanation by playing slides. Listening to Garen Smith's detailed report, Raymond Anthony, although it was normal on the surface, his shining eyes could not hide the surprise in his heart.
According to Galen Smith's report, the first phase of Zeus's plan has made a major breakthrough. Under the auspices of Professor Kevin Adams, nearly 100 scientists participating in the Zeus plan have created experimental controlled thermonuclear fusion devices according to new theories.
Three days ago, the base conducted actual tests on the new controllable thermonuclear fusion device, and the entire device maintained a good operation of up to 67.25 hours. Although the project team interrupted the continued operation of the test due to some unstability, the feasibility of the new theory has been confirmed from the current situation, and the results of its experimental test operation have achieved gratifying results in terms of operation time, energy conversion rate, safety and operability.
According to the members of the Zeus project team unanimously agreed that the new controlled thermonuclear fusion theory has been proven, and humans have truly mastered the practical technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion for the first time. If nothing unexpected happens, the practical application of this technology will not be long.
"It seems that it's really good news." Raymond Anthony asked, "What do Professor Adams and scientists think about the improvement of technology?"
"The professor believes that after the actual test proves the feasibility of the theory, the improvement of subsequent technologies will not be too slow. If everything goes well, practical devices can be taken out in about a year to replace the current old energy structure." Garen Smith replied with a browning look that the progress of Zeus's plan was even somewhat unexpected, not to mention that this is not only the view of Professor Kevin Adams, but also the common opinion of scientists in the entire project team. He later explained this to Raymond Anthony.
Although there was heating in the room, the hot coffee that was steaming just now was already cold. Raymond Anthony put his hand on the coffee cup but did not pick it up. Instead, his middle finger gently circled in the ring of the cup at a very small scale. This was a habit he had developed for many years. Whenever he did this position, he meant that he was thinking. After a while, Raymond Anthony smiled and expressed his satisfaction with the progress of Garen Smith's work. But at the same time, he also hoped that the project team could speed up the progress and reminded Garen Smith more tactfully that the ultimate goal of Zeus's plan was not to replace the current energy structure, but to create a controllable thermonuclear fusion engine that could be used on the spacecraft. This is crucial.
"Please rest assured that the scientists of Zeus's plan have been doing this. Now it is just a preliminary progress. After the entire device is perfected, their main direction will immediately turn to this aspect of research." Garen Smith answered confidently. In his opinion, what adjustments in energy structure and inventions to change human society are all irrelevant things, and the most important thing is the old man sitting in front of him.
Although he didn't know why Raymond Anthony was so keen on building a spacecraft that could sail in space, or how attractive the Pluto alien base that could exist was to this old man, these are all trivial matters. As long as the old man was satisfied and cooperated with him to successfully complete the Zeus plan, then the most important thing was to gain benefits from it.
And now that's it. Just the beginning of Zeus's plan, he got Raymond Anthony for Professor Kevin Adams, and overnight he jumped from a senior agent of NRO to the head and agent of such a huge plan. If this plan is finally successful, what reward can Raymond Anthony give him? Maybe he is the head of NRO? Or he may enter politics and get strong support from the Anthony family. There will be a chance to become a senator in the future. Senator Smith, this loud title sounds much easier than Agent Smith, and Garen Smith, who has never been reluctant to be lonely, knows very well that the opportunity is at his own hands now.
Garen Smith's clever reply made Raymond Anthony nod his head with a smile. He likes such people, who are ambitious, capable, and self-aware, and more importantly, know what he wants. This is also the reason why he put Garen Smith in this important position. As long as Garen Smith can do what he needs for him, Raymond Anthony will never treat him unfairly. Just keep a dog, as a good hunter, a well-trained hunting dog is a good helper for hunting. It is natural to give the hunting dog a reward while the owner receives prey.
"How to arrange the current installation situation and follow-up plan?"
"Professor Adams and his team are rectifying the device according to the data collected, and a second experimental test will be conducted in about a month. By the way, sir, do you want to see it with your own eyes? I can arrange it." Garen Smith asked flatteringly.
After thinking about it, Raymond Anthony shook his head slightly: "Don't disturb Professor Adams's work, and it's not appropriate to enter the base directly with my identity."
Garen Smith smiled a little awkwardly, and then suggested that since Raymond Anthony did not plan to go to the base to actually check the progress, would he arrange a project team scientist to meet? After all, the scientist's explanation for technology is more intuitive and professional, and the arrangement is also very convenient.
Raymond Anthony was a little moved and finally agreed to Garen Smith's arrangement. At this time, it was getting late, and Garen Smith had already made arrangements at the residence of the ground base. Although Raymond Anthony was in good spirits, he was already old after all. He went down to the room to rest at Garen Smith's suggestion.
That night, Raymond Anthony slept very well. In his dream, he even dreamed that he had obtained the Pluto alien base, thus obtaining the technology of immortality inside the base. When he saw his old face returning to his youthful appearance, the energy that had been passing through his body filled his entire body again, Raymond Anthony almost laughed happily.
But just when he was happy, a nervous alarm suddenly sounded. When he looked left and right, he realized that it was the self-destruction device of the alien base that was counting down. Seeing that the number that had almost jumped to ten digits, Raymond Anthony was extremely frightened. He could not remember how the self-destruct device started to start. At this time, he wanted to turn around and escape from the alien base, board the spacecraft and leave quickly, but for some reason, his feet were as heavy as lead, and he could not move at all. He could only watch the countdown number getting smaller and smaller, and finally counted down to zero.
"No!"
Raymond Anthony shouted in despair, but when the shout sounded, he realized that it was actually a nightmare. He was still on earth, and he was not rejuvenated. He just lay in the guest room of the ground base in Area 51. Not far from the head of the bed, a communication light was constantly flashing, and at the same time it made rhythmic sounds.
Raymond, who rubbed his face and came to his senses, heard the reminder and recalled the alarm in his dream. He was a little angry in his heart and secretly scolded that the communication interrupted his dream and even turned the dream into a nightmare. What made him even more angry was that the electronic clock at the bedside showed that it was only 5:04 in the morning. It was not dawn yet, so who would disturb him at this time?
"I'm Raymond!"
Pressing the communicator button, Raymond Anthony said unhappily, he wanted to see who it was and why it woke him up so early. If the other party did not explain properly, he would not mind let the idiot who disturbed him bear the anger.
"Sorry, Mr. Anthony, I'm Garen. Something went wrong. Can you come to my office as soon as possible?" Who would have thought that Garen Smith's voice came from the communicator, and it sounded a little nervous and uneasy.
