As soon as Ivanovic's words fell, Chang Siwei, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "When Prime Minister Putin visits China next month, Mr. Chen can also have a tripartite meeting with the No. 2 Prime Minister and Prime Minister Putin!"

As soon as Chang Siwei said this, Ivanovich kept silent.

Chen Xin smiled thoughtfully, knowing in his heart that there may be no less intrigue between China and Russia in the middle, but this is fine, now he is the dealer, he can wait for the price and sell, sit and reap the profits, this feeling is not too wonderful.

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the matter of the meeting can be talked about later, but the previous conditions are still valid, if Mr. Ivanovich can't make the decision, you can ask a higher level person to come forward and talk to me." “

Ivanovich frowned and thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Mr. Chen, please wait, I need to report the relevant situation to China, and I will give you an answer in half an hour." “

Chen Xin smiled and nodded, Ivanovich made an apologetic gesture to Chang Siwei, Peng Guochen and others, and left the room.

Ivanovich is not worried about whether he will be eavesdropped, the primary purpose of this meeting is to gain Chen Xin's trust, and the more upright he is, the better, not to mention that in front of an organization like War, is it useful to keep secrets?

For more than a year, Russia's Federal Security Service has been doing its best to gather information about the war, and the more information it gets, the higher their opinion of the organization becomes, which is why Russia has been able to breathe a sigh of relief after the theft of the Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine.

When Ivanovich was the ambassador to China. He was summoned by Putin and Medvedev to the Kremlin for a face-to-face lecture, where he came into contact with first-hand intelligence information on the war.

After reading all the intelligence information related to the war situation collected by the KGB, Ivanovich was already sweating in his palms, how could there be such a powerful organization in the world?

In particular, the metal batteries mentioned in the intelligence surprised Ivanovich even more.

No one knows better than Ivanovich where the Russian Federation is today.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in the nineties brought harsh social and economic chaos to Russia, and during the Yeltsin era, Russia tried to establish a Western-style MZ, destroy something with socialist and planned economic characteristics, and finally throw itself into the arms of neoliberalism.

For this. Yeltsin completely privatized the former Soviet-era state-owned enterprises. The essence of this so-called "privatization" is the unprecedented and brazen plundering of the country's wealth by the elite class, and the underworld forces and local powerful factions have exercised economic control over various industries, including oil, natural gas, and iron and steel enterprises, at a very low cost.

After a bit of private robbery, the Russian Federation ended up owning less than ten percent of state assets, and it became more difficult to stimulate the production system. This also opens up the possibility of the emergence of multimillionaires in Russia. However, the majority of the population is trapped in living conditions that are much worse than in the former Soviet Union.

In 1991. The income ratio between the richest 10 percent and the poorest 10 percent in Russia is 4:1, and by 2010 the gap had widened to 41:1.

After President Putin came to power. The politician, known for his tough-guy strategy, began a purge of oligarchs in Russia, supporting a group of new oligarchs to defeat the old ones and boosting the economy through energy exports.

This kind of policy has received a strong impact after the financial crisis in 2008, fortunately, Russia itself is rich in oil and gas resources, and it has barely supported until now, but the emergence of metal batteries has broken Putin's original layout.

This is also the reason why Pumei and the two attach importance to the metal battery project, especially in the case of war and cooperation with the United States, how to choose a camp is even more crucial.

The question is, after so many years of confrontation, how much trust can Russia and the West have in each other?

In particular, the astonishing appearance of aerospace aircraft in the war has posed a powerful challenge to Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Therefore, Putin and Medvedev quickly made a decision that instead of maintaining a face-to-face and heart-to-heart relationship with Western countries, it is better to rely on long-term cooperation with China to catch the line of war.

Of course, if it chooses to reject the war situation, then Russia will immediately turn its guns and cooperate with the Americans to suppress the war situation.

This is the worst-case scenario, and judging from Chen Xin's statement, it is unlikely that this solution will be used.

Half an hour later, Ivanovich pushed open the door with a smile on his face and walked in, and said to Chen Xin: "Mr. Chen, congratulations." President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin have authorized me, on behalf of the Russian Federation, to accept in full the terms you have proposed. “

Chang Siwei, Peng Guochen and others who were waiting at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xin got up and shook hands with Ivanovich with a smile and said, "Mr. Ambassador, congratulations on making the right choice. Since you are so happy, it is time for us to take action, and Dream is now ready to go into outer space to repair the Forbes-Soil Mars rover. ”

Academician Chen Deyan, the chief designer of the Mars exploration project, was immediately overjoyed and said: "Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to prepare now? Do you want us to help?"

As an aerospace expert, he is more concerned about whether Chen Xin can save the Forbes-Soil Mars rover, after all, there is still his hard work on it. What's more, the USS Dream has an unrivalled appeal to specialists like him.

Unfortunately, in order to gain Chen Xin's trust, the Chinese side did not send anyone in to survey the Dream after towing it into the hangar of the Capital International Airport, so Chen Deyan also missed the opportunity to get close to the Dream. His impression of this aerospace aircraft is still stuck in the original radar measurement and control number jù and the few appearance photos circulating on the Internet, if this time can observe the repair process of the "Forbes-Soil" Mars probe after the take-off of the Dream in real time, then even if the "Firefly 1" plan fails, Chen Deyan feels that it is worth it.

Chen Xin smiled and said, "You can have assistance, help me transport a cart of distilled water first." “

"A cart of distilled water?!"

……

After it was determined that the war situation would intervene in the repair of the "Forbes-Soil" Mars rover, the Chinese side immediately began preparatory work, and a 4E-class runway (with a length and width of 3800 * 60 meters) on the east side of the Capital International Airport was closed in the name of air traffic control for the first time, and at the same time, the Russian side and the Chinese space tracking and control network also began to work closely together to track the orbit of the "Forbes-Soil" in real time.

In the afternoon of the same day, several water trucks drove into a heavily guarded hangar at the Capital International Airport, and Chen Xin poured a truckload of distilled water into the fuselage of the Dream as if it were refueling amid the stunned eyes of several Chinese engineers.

And in the corner they couldn't see, this cart of distilled water began a magical physical and chemical change, and finally slowly transformed into light blue hydrogen metal and solid oxygen.

Subsequently, Chen Xin asked the Chinese side to provide several tons of conventional metals including iron, aluminum, magnesium, tin, zinc, copper, etc., so that the steel hammer had a good meal.

When everything was ready, Chen Xin directly entered the cockpit of the Dream, and under the control of the on-board intelligent system, the Dream slowly drove away from the hangar and into the runway.

At this time, a group of bigwigs who rushed over from ZNH had been waiting for a long time, and the Russian ambassador to China, Ivanovich, was also impressively listed. According to him, if it were not for the time crunch, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would also be present to attend the ceremony.

In addition to these military and political dignitaries, the rest are experts in China's aerospace industry, and most of them are dazzled and dazzled at the unprecedented aircraft in front of them, and from time to time they talk to each other, whisper, and express their views on the Dream.

Chen Xin sat in the cockpit, tightened the seat belt on his body, took a deep breath, and said, "Dream, let's go!"

The artificial intelligence of the Dream said: "Confirm the highest authorization, the Dream will enter the 1G acceleration stage in ten seconds, please be ready." “

Soon, the Dream's engine emitted a dazzling blue light that stood out in the dark.

As the roar of the engine increased, the body of the Dream began to rise, like a bird of prey about to spread its wings, and plunged headlong into the vast night.

Many passengers waiting for the plane on the terminal were also attracted by this amazing scene on the runway, and took pictures to watch, but unfortunately it was dark and there was not much clear picture at all, but with the photo of the mysterious aircraft two days ago as a foreshadowing, many people have guessed that the mysterious aircraft has been dispatched again.

The pale blue flame tail of the Dream engine sprayed away in the air, and the Great Elder took a deep breath, feeling the residual heat of the water vapor escaping from the air, and many engine experts shouted: "Hydrogen and oxygen engine, definitely hydrogen and oxygen engine!"

The only thing that puzzled them was that the amount of fuel that the Dream could carry could not support the fuel consumed by the hydrogen and oxygen fuel engines.

While many experts have put forward their own speculations, none of them hit the nail on the head.

This is no wonder to them, because the solid hydrogen-oxygen engine of the Dream has long exceeded the limits of human existing engineering technology, not to mention, hydrogen metal is a theoretical product in the current research, because it needs to turn hydrogen into a conductor at millions of atmospheric pressures, which is not something that human beings can do with current engineering technology, even if it is produced in small quantities.

Once technology goes bad, some incredible imagination will become a myth in the eyes of scientists.

At this time, the Great Elder said: "Let's go, go to the Aerospace Flight Control Center!" (to be continued......)
