Space Planning

  "Are you staying?" Hearing Aphrodite's initiative, Vasilis was taken aback: "Aphrodite, don't get in the way."

  "I won't cause any trouble." Aphrodite gently twirled her hair with her hand, looking at Chen Chen with a strange expression: "There are some things that not only you know, but I also know, so I think we can cooperate."

  "Oh?" Chen Chen furrowed his brow and narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the strange and clever girl in front of him, savoring the meaning behind her words.

  That remaining information, and this underground space, she also saw some clues like herself. Since she can see it, she must have some talent in a certain aspect, cooperating with her seems to have no loss, why not just agree to her?

  "Alright, if you can prove that you'll be helpful to me, then I suppose it's fine for you to join."

  "What are you guys mumbling about?" Hearing this ambiguous conversation, Vasily was about to go crazy again.

  "Uncle Vasily, leave this to us." Afrodita smiled faintly and pulled on the other's sleeve, starting to pout: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. Just consider it a reward for letting me use this place."

  "This is indeed the place you discovered." As soon as he said this, Vasilis softened: "This time I've helped so much, it seems I have no reason to refuse you, do as you please."

  "Thank you, Uncle Vasily!" Afrodita exclaimed joyfully, jumping up and hugging Vasily's neck as she twirled around.

  "Since there are no objections, let's settle on this for now." Chen Chen looked around the huge underground space again and then walked towards the passageway: "Let's leave it like this for now, we don't need to use it yet. Let's go upstairs, our top priority is to take care of things up there."

  A group of people returned to the ground via the elevator and then walked into the laboratory, where Vasilis gathered everyone together.

  "So the production of arms is arranged here, and then everyone will move all the machinery and equipment over. Be careful not to be discovered." Vasily loudly made arrangements: "As for the factory in Yerevan, leave some machines behind, which can be used for rough processing of materials at that time, and also cover up the truth."

  "Got it." As they saw the plan unfolding smoothly, everyone was excited.

  After everyone was busy with their own affairs, Chen Chen quietly came to the third floor command room, avoiding everyone's sight, and copied a copy of the data he had discovered before.

  Transporting machinery and materials, as well as clearing the site, these preparations took several days. After copying the data onto a floppy disk and putting it in his pocket, Chen Chen followed everyone back to Erwin.

  After returning to the factory, he couldn't wait to return to his own room, take out his laptop, read in the copied data and open it.

  At this moment, Aphrodite quietly pushed open the door and entered, startling him.

  "Aphrodite?" Chen Chen put down his laptop on the bed, looked at her helplessly and said: "You don't even knock when you come in? What if I was changing clothes?"

  "I know you can't wait to see the data, how about changing clothes?" Aphrodite flashed a sly smile: "When looking at such important things, why don't you lock the door? You think that apart from you, no one else can understand these things, right?"

  While speaking, he locked the door and sat down beside Chen Chen with a thud.

  "You seem to know something?" Chen Chen only then realized that this girl also seemed to understand the value of these data materials, and couldn't help but furrow her brow.

  "I might know a bit more than you." Aphrodite smiled, playing with her hair and winking at him: "Want to hear?"

  "I'm willing to listen if you're willing to speak!" Chen Chen composed himself and replied seriously.

  "Anyway, you've already seen some clues, no need for me to say it, I'm sure you can figure it out. Continuing to cover up has no meaning." Aphrodite also stopped smiling and let out a faint sigh: "Besides, there are hardly any people that the Armenian avengers can trust now, hope you can be one of them."

  "At least, I have no reason to be an enemy of yours." Chen Chen shrugged indifferently and looked at the other party calmly: "Besides, now we are already tied to the same boat, we have a common interest point."

  "In short, I'm a naive little girl and you can easily gain my trust." Aphrodite shook her head, collected her thoughts and began to explain: "That base, I've heard my father mention it before, is a relic of the Cold War era."

  "Operation Star Wars?" Chen Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately understood.

  "That's right, at that time the United States proposed the Star Wars program." Aphrodite's mouth corners rose with a faint smile as she continued to narrate: "And in response, the Soviet Union also brought out its space plan to compete with the United States for dominance. That base was used for the development of space flight technology."

  "Manned spaceflight technology..." Chen Chen glanced at the notebook computer: "That huge underground manufacturing plant was for making manned spacecraft, so the remaining data is also related to this thing."

  "It's not just that." Aphrodite nodded and added, "The entire plan is to cope with the possible space war in the future, so in addition to manned spaceflight technology, it also includes many conceptual space weapon technologies."

  "You really know more than I do." Chen Chen smiled, took the notebook and opened it, displaying the data in front of them: "This stuff is very valuable, I'm going to try it out myself."

  "With such a grand plan, it's impossible for one person to complete." Aphrodite glanced at the display screen and shifted her gaze to Chen Chen: "You must seek the help of the Armenian Avenger, so I suggest joining in."

  "Alright." Chen Chen thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Anyway, you've already discovered it, and it's not possible to stop you from joining. However, this matter requires a large amount of experimentation and funding, and it's impossible to proceed with it in the short term. Let's focus on starting up the munitions production first and earn enough money before considering other things."

  "That's right, space technology is a very costly thing, even the Soviet Union, such a giant, was dragged down, let alone us. If we're not careful, all that awaits us is failure." Having gotten what she wanted, Aphrodite stood up satisfactorily: "I'll go first, I won't tell Uncle Vasily and the others about this for now."

  She flashed a strange smile and pushed open the door to leave the room.

  "Mischievous..." Watching her back disappear at the door, Chen Chen went forward and locked the house door, then deleted the records on his laptop and took the electronic disk into the prison.
