宽敞的局长办公室内,一名中年白人男子正靠在电脑椅上,眉头紧锁地盯着手中的文件。„Space Program? ActuallythisFuture Groupis taking advantageanything.” By the desk, Naomiis staring at the document in hand, cannot bearsay.
“航天计划?这未来人集团究竟在打些什么算盘。”靠在办公桌上,内奥米盯着手中的文件,忍不住说道。Because in the serious damage of Chinaspyaction, firstCentral Intelligence AgencyDirectorJohn Brennancould not withstand the public opinion pressure on take the blame and resigna while agofinally, hisNaomi Maddenhas the opportunityhigh-rank. Although, the authorityadjustedfor various reasonsin view of the Future Groupstrategy, but a Jiang Chenthisnamein lineinlist that inCIAlooks afterwith emphasis.
因为前段时间在华国间谍行动的重大损失,前中情局局长约翰·布伦南最终顶不住舆论压力引咎辞职,他内奥米·马登才有机会上位。虽然因为各种各样的原因,当局调整了针对未来人集团的策略,但江晨这个名字一直列在cia重点关照的名单上。BeforesubvertingPannu the political power, to the Philippinesfishing boatevent, againtorecentImmersive-typeVirtual Reality Technologylike a raging fire, as well asinpickingMining Industrycauses the topicDeep Sea Mining Technology...... the back of this series ofhot spotevents, cansee the name of thatmanfaintly. Someinformationshowed,Jiang Chen likely issecretinstigation of PhilippinesCivil War, becausedoes not have the evidence, CIAis unable to makeanythingtothem.
从颠覆帕努前政权,到菲国渔船事件,再到近期如火如荼的沉浸式虚拟实境技术,以及在采矿业内引起话题的深海采矿技术……这一系列热点事件的背后,都隐隐能看到那个男人的名字。更有情报表明,江晨很可能就是菲国内战的幕后主使,但因为没有证据,cia也无法对他们做些什么。
The intuitiontoldNaomi, thisfellowwas a dangerouscharacter. It is not becausehisexistenceharmed the United Statesnational interest, because his can always create the ability of miracle. The riddle that onhimhas was really many, remindedhimof a dust-ladenfor a long timedocument......
直觉告诉内奥米,这家伙是个危险的人物。不是因为他的存在危害了美国的国家利益,而是因为他那总能创造奇迹的能力。他身上存在的谜团实在是太多了,以至于让他想起了一份尘封已久的文件……„It is not clear, onlywhatcandetermine, theycontribute5,000,000,000US Dollarto purchaseourdomestic two personalaerospace technologycompanyfull share of nowbeing on the verge of the bankruptcy, andconvenesBoard of Directorsto discuss, twocompanyreorganizationmerges, enrollsin the Star Ring Trading Companyaerospaceprojectsection, andmovesgoes toCountry of Xin.”Standsbehindmaledetectiveboth hands, the languagefastsaidat a moderate pace.
“不清楚,唯一能够确定的是,他们现在斥资50亿美金收购了我们国内两家濒临破产的私人航天科技公司全部股份,并召开董事会议,将两家公司重组合并,编入星环贸易公司的航天项目部中,并迁址前往新国。”站在男子身旁的探员双手背后,语速不紧不慢地说道。„Customs?” The Naomivision the documentfrom the handhas not moved out of the way.
“海关方面?”内奥米目光没有从手中文件挪开。„Intwoaerospace technologycompanyassetshas11equipmentto be listed in the middle of the clause of limitexit|to speak, buttheyhave not walked the customs, butwassells offtheseequipmentlow pricesdirectlytoSpaceX. As iftheydo not planto wanttheseequipment, onlywantsthesetechnicians.”
“两家航天科技公司资产中有11件设备列于限制出口的条目当中,不过他们没有走海关,而是直接将这些设备低价变卖给了spaex。似乎他们根本不打算要那些设备,只想要那些技术员。”Naomilaughs atone.内奥米嗤笑一声。„oh?theythink that onlyneededto makea group ofMITbiggraduatesin the past, can the growing out of nothingearth-shaking transformationhaverocketto come?”
“哦?他们难道以为只需要弄一批麻省理工大的毕业生过去,就能从无到有地变出火箭来吗?”Withoutthatindustrial output capacity. Is a screw bolt on rocketdo not wantto make. Thisdoes not make the issue that severalscientistscansolvein the past, is the high-endindustry, is then higherregarding the request of industrial infrastructure.
没有那个工业生产能力。就是火箭上的一颗螺丝钉都别想造出来。这可不是弄几个科学家过去就能解决的问题,越是高端的产业,对于工业基础的要求便越高。Butlaysthisindustrial infrastructure, usuallytakesdozensyears.
而建立这个工业基础,往往需要数十年的时间。„Does not know. Likeusdoes not know where theycausethatDeep Sea Miningequipment.”Thatdetectiveshrugs.
“不知道。就像我们不知道他们从哪里弄出那个深海采矿设备一样。”那名探员耸了耸肩。Naomifell intosilent.内奥米陷入了沉默。Althoughheis not a technician, buthe of science subjectsbirthhadregardingDeep Sea Miningdifficult problemunderstand. Firstoneis the materialissue, rarelyhas the materialto be ablelong timeto withstand7000meterswater depth the intensity of pressure, withstood/topthisterrorist|terrifyingintensity of pressure on minenot to mention.
虽然他不是技术员,但理科出生的他对于深海采矿的难题还是有所了解的。首先一个就是材料问题,很少有材料能长时间承受7000米水深的压强,更别提顶着这恐怖的压强采矿了。A whileisVirtual Reality, a whileisDeep Sea Mining. Nowtheyreachaerospace the hand, as iftheyindid not count the costlayoutmostfrontdomain. The frontmeans the risk, butalsomeans the highreturnwiththisrelatively.
一会儿是虚拟实境,一会儿又是深海采矿。现在他们又将手伸向了航天,似乎他们一直在不计成本地布局着最前沿的领域。前沿就意味着风险,但与此相对地也意味着高回报。
The Future Groupmajor stockholderis a through and throughgambler, moreoverisin not a parsimonioushand the gambler of chip, this had almost reached an agreementin the Wall Streetinvestor.未来人集团的大股东是个彻头彻尾的赌徒,而且是个毫不吝啬手中筹码的赌徒,这点在华尔街的投资客中几乎已经达成了一个共识。„Canfind the wayto checktheirtechnological source?” The Naomisinkingsoundasked.
“能想办法查到他们的技术来源吗?”内奥米沉声问道。„ThisworksIto arrange the personto do, butstillhas no result.”Thatdetectivefacereveal, had/leftreluctantly the expression, „at presentwe can only speculate,theyare havingsomesecretresearch institute, itpossiblyinunderground, orcamouflagesotherorganizationto hideinCountry of Xinsomewhere.

“这个工作我一直安排人在做,不过至今没什么成效。”那名探员脸露、出了无奈地表情,“目前我们只能推测,他们在拥有某个隐秘的研究所,它可能在地下,或者伪装成别的机构藏在新国某处。不得不说。他们虽然在情报工作方面做得有些不拘小节,但唯独保密工作却谨慎的不像话。我可以申请向新国增派人手吗?”„Very difficult.”Naomishakes the head, the place that „needsto choose a personwere too many, althoughFuture Groupis interesting, butafter allheis only a private enterprise. AlthoughsomeCongressperson'sintechnologiestotheirhandsis interested, but the White Houseaspectwantsto win overCountry of Xin, requestingusto maintain the restraint of certain extent.”
“很难。”内奥米摇了摇头,“需要用人的地方太多了,未来人集团虽然有趣,但毕竟他只是个私人企业。虽然部分国会的人对他们手上的技术感兴趣,但白宫方面希望拉拢新国,要求我们保持一定程度的克制。”„Isn't Presidentinterested?” The detectivesasked.
“总统不感兴趣吗?”探员问道。„Said that whatisPresidentprovides the campaignfundis the energygiant, rather thanNASDAQlistingcompany.”Naomisaidlightly, „ourworkwith emphasisas in Middle EastandEastern Europe. As forthesenew phenomena. So long asis not the weapon of mass destruction, givesthesemerchantsto use one's headquitewell.”
“这么说吧,为总统提供竞选资金的是能源巨头,而不是纳斯达克的上市公司。”内奥米淡淡地说道,“我们的工作重点依旧在中东和东欧。至于那些新鲜玩意儿。只要不是大规模杀伤性武器,还是交给那些商人们自己去动脑筋比较好。”As a rule, „budgetsecurity”CIAdoes not needto fling the Presidentface, toWhite Houseloyal and devotedshouldbetheiroldenemyFcompels. Butbecauseprevioustimewas suspendedoneinChina„byGeneral Staff”. Nownoenergy of CIAwhenfacingCongressandWhite House.
通常而言,“预算保密”的cia是不用甩总统面子的,对白宫忠心耿耿的应该是他们的老对头f逼。但由于上次在华国“被总参”摆了一道。现在cia在面对国会和白宫时都没什么底气。John Brennanretires early , because does not flatterbyCongressandWhite House. The spyaction of making a decision without authorizationalmosthauls in the diplomaticmireWhite House, fortunately before the China, eventhas not lodged the protest, otherwiseUnited Stateswill fall intoafterBay of Pigs Incident the second largest diplomaticscandal.约翰·布伦南之所以提前退休,就是因为在国会和白宫两边都不讨好。擅做主张的间谍行动差点把白宫拉进外交泥潭,所幸华国没有就此前事件提出抗议,否则美国又将陷入继猪湾事件后第二大外交丑闻。AlthoughCongresshas no right to question the CIAbudgetuse, butactuallyhas the rightto reducetoitsallocation, butin facttheyhave been doing. Even ifNaomidoes not wantto reverse tothat sidePresident. Healsohas tomake the compromise of certain extentfor the matter of budget.
虽然国会无权过问cia的预算用途,但却有权削减对其拨款,而事实上他们已经在做了。即便内奥米不想倒向总统那边。他也不得不为预算的事做出一定程度的妥协。„Good, thisdamnpolitics......, butI want to say that Country of XinestablishesnationalSecurity Departmentat present, ourworkcertainly may be affected. Ifcannotobtain the support, Iam unable to guarantee , can also look likesuchstableprovisioninformation.” The detectivessighed, spread out the handto sayreluctantly.
“好吧,这该死的政治……但我想说的是,新国目前成立了国家安全部门,我们的工作可能会受到一定的影响。如果不能获得支援,我无法保证以后还能像这么稳定的提供情报。”探员叹了口气,摊开手无奈地说道。„Thatsets the example, stares attheirlaunchprojectonis notFuture Group that the line...... makesmecare, butis the mousie that weraise, recentlyas ifsomewere not obedient.”Naomisaid.
“那就做做样子,盯好他们的发射项目就行……更让我在意的不是未来人集团,而是我们养的小老鼠,最近似乎有些不听话。”内奥米说道。„Wiley Society?”Thatdetectiveprobesasks.
“维利会?”那名探员试探地问道。„Right, the informationshowed,theyas ifreceived the donationof unknown origin, does not satisfyoccupyingUkrainethissmallplace, extendedon the children in ourEurope the antenna. Recentlysomeinformationshowed,theyas ifhadsome degree ofcontactwithJiang Chen.”Naomitook upanotherdocument, saidlightly.
“没错,情报表明,他们似乎收到了来历不明的捐款,不满足于屈居乌克兰这个小地方,将触角伸到了我们欧洲的小朋友们身上。最近更是有情报表明,他们似乎与江晨进行了某种程度的接触。”内奥米拿起了另一份文件,淡淡地说道。„Youweresaid that...... Jiang ChenandWiley Societyhad the relation.”
“你是说……江晨与维利会存在联系。”„Shouldnot be, both sidesshouldnot have the benefit the focus, notto......, ifinsisted saying that alsohad.”Naomitightens the brow, bites the thumbto mutter.
“应该不是,双方应该不存在利益的焦点,不对……如果硬要说的话,也不是没有。”内奥米紧锁眉头,咬着大拇指喃喃自语道。
A wordappearedsuddenlyinhismind.
一个单词突然浮现在了他的脑海中。Golden Apple......金苹果……To be honest, beforeSoviet Uniondisintegrates, collects the Golden Appleinformationis one of the CIAprojects. Butsince the conclusion of Cold War, thisdid not have the work of cluethento be put asidegradually.
老实说,直到苏联解体之前,收集金苹果的情报一直都是cia的工作项目之一。但随着冷战的结束,这项一直没有线索的工作便被逐步搁置了。But does thatgadgetreallyexist? In the legendcancommunicate the futureitem.
可那玩意儿真的存在吗?传说中能沟通未来的道具。Immediately a Naomibrowloosen, self-ridiculedshakes the headwith a smile.
随即内奥米眉头一松,自嘲地笑着摇了摇头。Howthattype of gadgetpossiblyexists , like NaziNorth Polemilitary base.
那种玩意儿怎么可能存在,就和纳粹的北极军事基地一样。
The realityis not the novel.
现实又不是小说。
