Tian Rao bit her nails. "What does this mean?"
Yue Qiaoyun was also quite shocked. "When I had surgery in the hospital before, I underwent relevant genetic testing. It went very smoothly then, and nothing like this happened."
Xu Yan's expression was solemn. "This is the first time I've seen such a warning. The doctors at the hospital said it's their first time seeing it too. Many of them are sixty or seventy years old and have forty to fifty years of medical experience. So, either this warning is very rare, or it's only appeared recently."
"Since doing genetic tests individually was fine before, this alarm might have been triggered by the two of you doing it together," Jiang Ye said. "I suspect that if you two had your genetic tests done separately, you would have received specific reports."
"Then shall we try it?" Tian Rao asked.
"Don't try it. This matter is not trivial. What if trying it leads to some responsibility?" Jiang Ye said. "You two go back and rest first. I'll inquire with the military."
Leaving the Termite Real Estate building, Jiang Ye got into his car to go home.
Halfway there, he sent a message to Li Nannan on his phone, first taking a photo of the top-secret information warning, and then briefly narrating the background.
He expected to receive a reply after some time, but unexpectedly, Li Nannan's video call came through directly.
When the call connected, Li Nannan's frowning face appeared on the phone screen.
"To be honest, given the current scale of Jiang Ye Star, it's really unexpected that you can access top-secret information," Li Nannan said with a serious tone. "Don't conduct any more genetic testing on Tian Rao or Yue Qiaoyun, not even in private. This matter is very significant. Remind them to keep it confidential and not to spread it around. The fewer people who know, the better."
"Understood, I've already instructed them," Jiang Ye frowned. "Can you... give me even a little hint?"
"Not even a hair, how many heads do you have?" Li Nannan glared at him. "Do you know about planetary hidden scores?"
"Hidden scores?" Jiang Ye was taken aback. "I know there are hidden scores in games. If your hidden score is high, you get matched into high-level games; if it's low, you get matched into beginner games."
"It's similar, but there's no matching. A planet's hidden score is related to the status of the Planet Governor and the General," Li Nannan said. "This matter hasn't been publicly announced as a written rule, but it's common knowledge."
Jiang Ye thought to himself, I didn't know, am I not a person?
"Once Jiang Ye Star's hidden score is higher, you'll be able to know some top-secret information, and I'll arrange it for you then," Li Nannan said. "So, focus on developing the planet."
"What is my current hidden score, and how high does it need to be?" Jiang Ye asked. "You should give me some idea, some goal to strive for, right? Is it linked to the planet's development index?"
"I can't tell you the score. As for the goal..." Xu Yan said. "When Jiang Ye Star's population reaches one hundred million, I estimate it will be enough."
The call ended.
Jiang Ye scratched his head, feeling slightly annoyed.
Damn it, the current population is only six million. My hidden score is that low? After years of effort, I'm still a nobody?
Upon further thought, he felt relieved. As a planet, a population of six million is indeed not much. Even a slightly larger county town has millions of people. The entire population of Jiang Ye Star combined would only be equivalent to one district on Hal Star.
It really is a nobody planet.
...
The six observation bases on the equator were finally completed.
The first batch of six starships took off on the same day, carrying 600 detectors, heading towards the sun.
Jiang Ye Star Television broadcasted the launch process, claiming it was Jiang Ye Star's first large-scale aerospace project, and the viewership was extremely high.
However, during the television broadcast, the real mission was not mentioned.
It was only stated that it was for scientific research, weather forecasting, and establishing an initial interstellar defense network.
The matter of stellar disease was top-secret information, and Jiang Ye did not disclose it.
It was a critical time to attract foreign immigrants. If news were spread that "the sun might be doomed," not only would new immigrants turn back and leave, but the original inhabitants might also flee in large numbers. Who wouldn't want to save their lives?
Even if the stellar disease did not spread in the end, it was uncertain how many of those who fled would return.
Once this matter leaked, the planet would inevitably be severely weakened, regressing by ten years. It would revert to a barren land.
It took a full month for all the detectors to be in place.
It was like installing tens of thousands of surveillance devices in space, with various messages and data continuously sent to Jiang Ye Star.
Jiang Ye received a daily briefing on his phone, containing all sorts of noteworthy information.
Monday:
[There is a 5% probability that an object with a diameter of 200 meters will fall within Jiang Ye Star's gravitational range, with a danger coefficient of 0.77]
Tuesday:
[Two new sunspots have appeared]
Wednesday:
[Approximately 60 extremely fine meteoroids will fall into Jiang Ye Star. According to preliminary analysis, they will decompose in the atmosphere and be invisible to the naked eye]
Thursday:
[An unauthorized spaceship fleet passed over Jiang Ye Star's equator at 8:05 AM today. They were all small warp-speed ships, preliminarily identified as the illegal interstellar smuggling group Sophia Merchant Group]
Jiang Ye saw the briefing on his phone and realized that the area around the planet was quite lively, with meteorites and spaceships.
The solar data was also included in the briefing, with complex charts and more than ten curves of different colors, twisting like snakes. Jiang Ye couldn't understand them at all, so he could only look at the overall analysis below the charts, which consistently stated "normal fluctuations," and he felt relieved.
Every two to three days, Li Nannan would send the latest news about the stellar disease.
The news was also top-secret.
Jiang Ye read it himself on his phone, every word clear.
Cen Yemeng poked her head out from the blanket beside him and leaned towards the screen. The phone immediately displayed a full-screen mosaic.
After discovering this reaction from the phone, Jiang Ye felt a sense of unease.
He directly called Li Nannan.
The video call rang for a long time before it was answered. Li Nannan's face was resting on a white pillow, her eyes half-open.
Previously, Jiang Ye was always woken up by her calls while he was asleep, but this time, it was finally the other way around.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to ask, ask quickly," Li Nannan said impatiently.
"Commander, I want to ask a question. Is my phone being monitored by the Galactic Empire?" Jiang Ye asked.
"No," Li Nannan said. "It's just a small phone you bought from a phone store, how could it be monitored?"
"But the messages you send me are fine when I look at them, and as soon as my wife leans over, the screen immediately goes to full-screen mosaic!" Jiang Ye was very angry. "To what extent is this phone monitoring me?"
"Oh dear, you've misunderstood," Li Nannan said. "Do you know about gesture control?"
"Doing a few gestures in front of the screen can switch pages or take screenshots?" Jiang Ye asked.
"The principle is the same as gesture control," Li Nannan said. "It's not monitoring. The messages I send you are top-secret information. The phone's underlying program has a rule: when you are viewing this top-secret information, it will pay attention to changes in the surroundings. Once something else leans over, it will automatically pixelate."
