Chapter 850: Blue Bird, flying back to the past

The Overseer Council's approval of the "Blue Bird Project" did not come as a surprise to the viewers.

Rather, if the O5s had vetoed this project, the viewers would have been even more interested—what would happen after a link in human history was ignited and missing.

"The Foundation accepted it calmly."

"We must go gently into that good night."

"If the Foundation hadn't come into being, would there be a version of us from the future appearing to tell us how to fight the Aeons and avoid the end of the world?"

"Instead of expecting help from other parallel universes, why not think about how to perform parallel space-time leaping to give them a heads-up? Who knows, maybe our future could be changed?"

"Another more pessimistic possibility: our present is the result of a correction. In branches without parallel universe influence, our world has already been destroyed."

"I'm wondering, which Foundation was the first to do this? Even if this is a circular structure, there must be a Foundation that started it all. Because it intervened in the history of other parallel universes, its own history changed accordingly."

"Is this what is known as the legendary 'effect preceding the cause'?"

The viewers' discussions continued, but for humanity and the Foundation, it didn't seem important which of these two things was the cause and which was the effect.

……

【A few days ago, the Foundation executed that flight mission which was destined to happen this year.】

【They specifically invited me.】

"Is the time almost up?" Jiang Wenhan looked at Zhang Hanyu, who was accompanying him, and asked casually.

"Yes," Zhang Hanyu replied.

Faced with such a simple question, his heart was full of emotion.

Not long ago.

He was the commander-in-chief of the twenty-seventh experiment.

Jiang Wenhan was the project lead for "SCP-C-1559" and an observer of the twenty-seventh experiment.

And now.

He is the lead for the "Blue Bird Project"—a sub-project under the "Icarus Project."

Jiang Wenhan is the overall lead for the "Icarus Project."

When an old classmate and old friend becomes your superior, what should you think?

It's unclear; it's hard to put into words.

But he knew that Dean Qian Lunfeng must not be feeling very balanced in his heart recently.

A few days ago, O5-12 announced that the "Icarus Project" had officially begun.

The Foundation would deploy 276 AG-99 "Blue Bird" type space-time folding aircraft, constantly folding into parallel universes to guide the ancients to yearn for the starry sky.

This was, of course, a grand project.

However, there was only one AG-99 capable of conducting parallel space-time folding experiments.

Dean Qian Lunfeng, who had rejected Jiang Wenhan twenty-six times, had been running to their site every day since the day the "Icarus Project" was announced.

Zhang Hanyu knew exactly what Dean Qian wanted, and Jiang Wenhan was equally clear.

But who let the AG-99 be an asset of the Foundation?

Jiang Wenhan had no authority to bypass the Overseer Council to change the use of Foundation assets, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the guts.

"Since the Overseer Council has decided to mass-produce the AG-99, if you submit a report now, the O5s won't veto it."

Jiang Wenhan could only respond this way.

This was just a small interlude.

—The Foundation's budget had always been tight, and various departments and project groups scrambling for resources was one of the Foundation's norms.

Before boarding, Zhang Hanyu asked Jiang Wenhan:

"Old Jiang, before we set off, let me confirm one more time: you've read all the precautions, right?"

"Rest assured, I have no interest in getting lost in the space-time turbulence."

"Alright, have a pleasant journey to the past."

"Good, see you in the future!" Jiang Wenhan responded with a smile.

Zhang Hanyu was stunned for a moment, and after a very brief thought, he realized that they would indeed have to wait until the future to meet again.

"Good, see you in the future!"

Watching Jiang Wenhan and the pilot board the aircraft one after another, Zhang Hanyu and the other ground crew left the hangar.

Before long, the launch procedure began, and each step was executed in turn. ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
