Two days later, He Xingzhou's plan was approved.
Lv Mei interfaced with him and said, "The higher-ups have approved; there is a research institute in the suburbs of Beijing, which will be renovated and handed over to you for use. I have a list here, you can select the scientific research personnel you need from it, and equip them with some related personnel to form your team."
"As for the investment in funds, under the principle of the Xuanwu Plan, the investment for each part of the Xuanwu Plan is unlimited, but this also needs to be carried out in stages, and you must apply by phase. The wages and welfare of the researchers are undertaken by the state, so you don't have to worry. If you can execute your plan smoothly, you can apply to the organization for more resources and funding."
"Thank you, Sister Lv!" He Xingzhou thanked her, and receiving such substantial funding and resources as a student was enough to prove that the higher-ups valued his opinions.
"I will prove myself!" He Xingzhou said firmly.
After handing over with Lv Mei, he then met a senior management officer from the National Security Bureau, Yang Bai.
He looked unremarkable, the kind that would be hard to find even with a careful look in a crowd, but his eyes were subtly clever and wise.
Yang Bai said to He Xingzhou, "Comrade He Xingzhou, given that you have now become a member of the Xuanwu Plan and the person in charge of the whistleblower research institute, the higher-ups have already adjusted your security level to the highest level!"
"Starting today, you will have your own car, personal bodyguard, personal secretary, and housing arranged by the organization. Your information in the Security Bureau will be classified as top secret! Later, we will provide you with a set of security equipment, and when communicating confidential information, please use the communication devices we provide."
"We will not interfere with your personal life, but please also do not violate the organization's rules."
"I understand," He Xingzhou acknowledged.
"Additionally, look at the members of your family who need special attention. We will send personnel to arrange for their protection and ensure their safety, so you have no worries."
He Xingzhou wrote down three names–his father He Qihang, his mother Jiang Manrong, and a younger sister, He Mengyao, who is four years younger than him. His grandparents had passed away, and they were his closest relatives.
He Xingzhou studied alone in Beijing, while his parents and younger sister were in their hometown, an ordinary county town.
"Alright, I've noted it down," Yang Bai said, "we will arrange for your parents and sister to move to a safe residence. Given the secretive nature of the mission, we need to come up with an excuse. You can say you developed a technology and sold the patent to a state-owned enterprise and earned an income."
"Later, we will directly send security personnel disguised as state-owned enterprise employees to arrange their housing and other matters."
"Thank you for the organization's arrangements!" He Xingzhou thanked.
"For the Xuanwu Plan, this is all necessary," said Yang Bai, "Comrade He Xingzhou, in the special smartphone we give you, there will be our contact information. If you have any issues, you can directly contact me. For important matters, you can also contact other Xuanwu Executives."
"I'll introduce you to two more people," Yang Bai called out, "Ding Yue, Xu Zhilan, come in!"
Outside, two people knocked and then entered.
He Xingzhou looked over to see both were in military uniform, standing tall and proud, with a distinct presence!
The male was at least 185 cm tall, with a sturdy build like an ox, with an inherently fierce demeanor.
The female was also around 170 cm in height, with straight legs, short hair, wheat-colored skin, no makeup, yet still strikingly beautiful. Dressed in military attire, she exuded a spirit that did not concede to men!
"Commander, Ding Yue reporting to you!" the male soldier saluted.
"Commander, Xu Zhilan reporting to you!" the female soldier saluted.
After exchanging salutes, Yang Bai introduced, "Both of them are elite forces from the military, special forces level!"
"Ding Yue is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, martial arts, firearms, and can drive all kinds of vehicles, including planes and tanks, and is proficient in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. From now on, he will be your driver and bodyguard, responsible for your safety!"
"Comrade He Xingzhou, hello! Ding Yue reporting to you," Ding Yue saluted, "I swear to protect your safety!"
"Hello, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!" He Xingzhou politely said.
Yang Bai introduced the other person, saying, "Xu Zhilan, also a special force. Military proficiency is strong, and she is also proficient in secretarial and logistical work. From now on, she will be your assistant, and you can entrust her with any tasks you have."
"Comrade He Xingzhou, hello, I am Xu Zhilan, please feel free to assign any tasks to me in the future!"
Xu Zhilan saluted while curiously sizing up He Xingzhou. The young man in front of her looked even younger than her, yet he had become an executor of the Xuanwu Plan, filling her with curiosity.
"Thank you!" He Xingzhou got to know the two and then started to receive his supplies.
The Security Bureau had prepared a complete set of equipment for him, even including things like bulletproof vests; his vehicle was also modified, equipped with bulletproof and blast-resistant features!
This was enough to prove that the higher-ups gave sufficient attention to him as the whistleblower of the Insect Race crisis!
After finishing these tasks, He Xingzhou began to select the research personnel he needed.
According to his requirements, he selected a group of senior scientific research talents.
Yang Bai said, "The renovation of the research institute will take some time, you can make any requests."
He Xingzhou said, "First convert the biological experiment area, and also, I need energy and mechanical research labs. By the way, how is the power system of the research institute planned?"
Yang Bai said, "Of course it's directly connected to the power grid!"
"That's not enough!" He Xingzhou, thinking of the Quantum Light Computer that needed energy to unlock technology, said, "I have another requirement, there must be a power station built near the research institute, whether it's thermal, wind, or photovoltaic power, the capacity should be high enough for a large factory to operate. This is required for my experiments!"
"Alright!" Yang Bai noted his request.
He added, "Comrade He Xingzhou, given that the research institute needs some time to be renovated, you can spend this period in other research institutes for research or work. In the Xuanwu Plan, your authority is second only to the Xuanwu Executive Officer. You are entitled to call upon resources from any national research institute."
"That's great!" This would greatly enhance the execution of He Xingzhou's plans.
After Yang Bai finished explaining, it was time for He Xingzhou's arrangements.
"Mr. He, where should we go now? Should I take you to your residence to rest?" Ding Yue asked.
"No rush, let's go to the research institute first," He Xingzhou said.
Soon, a black Jeep drove out of the garage.
It was similar in appearance to the vehicle He Xingzhou had seen from the National Security Bureau before, only it didn't have a "Special Passage" sign but a discreet civilian license plate.
