Chapter 1592: The Clues About the Past

The international waters of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.

Standing on the deck, Li Guangya looked at the sea level not far away. A smile gradually appeared on his face.

Because East Asia Energy had reached a settlement with the residents of Guanghan City, Nuwa City’s plan was naturally abandoned.

Although it was a happy result for everyone, Li Guangya was not very satisfied that there was still no city directly under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.

Fortunately, because of the space elevator project, everything seemed to have turned around again.

It had only been less than a month since the construction of the Penglai City project started, but the main structure of the entire Penglai City had already risen to above sea level from the seafloor.

The waves crashed on the steel brackets as thick as an elephant leg, like a breeze blowing on the beach. The steel floating fortress was like a real island, standing majestically on the sea.

If grandeur was an art, then this was a masterpiece.

“This will be a miracle in human history; a miracle that only we can accomplish.”

Li Guangya’s eyes seemed to be glued to the telescope as he stared at the construction site.

Chief Engineer Wang, who was standing next to him, showed a heroic smile on his face.

“Of course! In the field of engineering, we are miracles, and only ourselves can surpass us!”

Li Guangya: “Which stage is the project in now?”

“The mainframe has been completed. The next stage of work is to fill foam aluminum between these steel structures. So far, our factory on Mars has completed the order for this batch of materials. The first phase of the entire project can be completed before March!”

In fact, the most difficult part of the whole project was also the first stage.

After the main structure of the entire steel island was completed, the remaining work was just icing on the cake.

For example, adding skyscrapers on this island and establishing a modern transportation system, etc…

Looking at the construction site in the distance, Li Guangya’s eyes were already longing for the future.

His secretary walked over from the side and spoke softly.

“There’s news.”

As if knowing what he was talking about, Li Guangya spoke casually.

“Tell me about it.”

With a confident smile on his face, Wei Song spoke in an affirmative tone.

“The plan was successful, and it perfectly met our expectations!”

“Oh?” Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Guangya looked at his secretary Wei Song with interest as he asked casually, “Which step is it at now?”

“They are already living together!”

“Just living together, do they have a child?”

Wei Song said, “This… I don’t know, but logically speaking, it wouldn’t make sense.”

“I meant just them being pregnant, not a born child.” Li Guangya shrugged. He returned the binoculars to the bodyguard and walked to the railing on the side of the ship. He continued, “Academician Lu is very important to us. We can’t let him risk his own life. I hope you pay more attention to your work. It is even more important than the space elevator.”

Reducing the confident smile on his face, Wei Song nodded seriously and continued, “I… understand, do I need to investigate his recent purchase list?”

A person’s daily purchases could reflect one’s life status. For example, a single man suddenly purchasing contraception products could be an indicator.

And if he tampered with those products…

“There’s no need for that.” Li Guangya coughed dryly and quickly dispelled his thoughts. He continued, “I don’t mean for you to stalk him, just investigate if there any other relatives or friends of his that are still alive.”

Humans were social animals. Compared to the comfort of the living environment itself, their happiness came mainly from social factors.

In Li Guangya’s opinion, the reason why Lu Zhou had the idea of going to Tau Ceti was largely because of his alienation from this unfamiliar era. The best solution was to give him more information about the world.

After all, he really couldn’t imagine that a person would want to wander into the universe for a promise made a hundred years ago…

“Ah, speaking of which…” Wei Song suddenly remembered something when he heard the chairman’s words, and he said, “You asked me to investigate his relatives and friends from a hundred years ago. Recently, I discovered something special.”

“About who?”

“His sister.”

After hearing this unexpected answer, Li Guangya frowned slightly. He looked at him and asked, “You mean… Lu Xiaotong?”

“Um… it’s very strange. I have been investigating Lu Xiaotong’s spouse’s whereabouts after the 2030s. However, this person seems to have been deleted from history. Except for her offspring, nothing credible is left.”

“What do you mean by credible?”

“It means that starting from the 2030s, some of her news and social activity records seemed fake, and many places were full of contradictions… Especially her descendants, they seemed to appear out of thin air.”

Wei Song couldn’t help but show pity on his face as he continued after sighing, “Unfortunately, her oldest offspring passed away 30 years ago. And those who are still alive, their impression of her was that she was a kind and nice person. So far, I have not found an accurate statement.”

After rubbing his chin, Li Guangya thought for a while and said, “Could she have been ignored because she was not famous?”

Wei Song shook his head and said, “Doesn’t make sense. She was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, as well as the founder and first manager of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation and the Outer Space Colonization Fund. She wasn’t an unknown person. Moreover, for a woman with such outstanding historical achievements, it would be impossible to keep a low profile.”

So far, the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation could be regarded as the largest charity organization in the Pan-Asian Cooperation and even in the world. Unlike those charities that simply helped the sick and the poor, this charity helped dormant people integrate into current society, and to a certain extent, it even played a vital role in the stability and prosperity of humanity.

After all, before being integrated into society, dormant people were just “baggage” thrown into the future by the past. Only when they truly integrated into society and received some education could they continue to shine in this society and find a place where they could display their potential.

The entire Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation had always been in charge by the Lu family. It was hard to imagine that Ms. Xiaotong, who was commemorated as the founder, would have so little available information about her.

There was no doubt that some key information had been concealed!

“You mean… she might still be alive?”

“I don’t know.” Wei Song said, shaking his head, “I can’t think of the reason for her going to the future, but there are too many stories that don’t line up. Especially when I checked some electronic databases, which are not in the Security Bureau, I found some unusual records in the paper archives in China.”

Li Guangya immediately asked, “What records?”

Changing into a serious tone, Wei Song continued.

“After the completion of the ‘Oasis’ project in the Northwest, she went to Beijing, then resigned from the position of CEO of Star Sky Technology. She completely disappeared from public view, and there is no record of reliable information in history. An important person like her suddenly disappeared. At that time, the People’s Liberation Army General Staff Department, which was in charge of intelligence work, had investigated her possible whereabouts.

“According to the investigation report in the file, after a year of investigation, although the security personnel in charge of the investigation did not find her whereabouts, the investigation report contained a transcript of the words spoken by Lu Zhou’s sister, Lu Xiaotong.

“And according to Lu Xiaotong’s own words, after leaving Northwest, her brother’s fiancee went to meet her…”
