Seeing Emma's reaction, a smile flashed in Felik's eyes, and then quickly withdrew, and said in a low tone: "Things are bad,

I didn't want to say it,

But there really can't be helped, they arrested my parents, and if I don't agree to their request, they will not hesitate to kill people. ”

Emma became more and more confused: "What are you talking about?"

Felik said apologetically: "Forgive me for my incoherent words, last night I had a few uninvited guests in my house, and they arrested my parents,

I don't know who they are,

Because I've never provoked someone I shouldn't, and in fact their target is not me, but your husband, Andrew. ”

Andrew?

Emma hurriedly asked, "What does it have to do with Andrew?"

Felik made a helpless gesture: "Those people want to kidnap your son through me and get what they want from Andrew." ”

Emma somewhat understood.

Because Andrew is a senior engineer at Northrop Grumman, who in turn is one of the major defense contractors in the United States,

Therefore, the US Department of Defense has special arrangements,

Mainly in terms of security,

The children of senior engineers like Andrew are placed in specific schools from kindergarten to high school, and there are school buses to and from school.

It's hard to kidnap.

And the people in Philik's mouth may be agents of a certain country, and they have taken a fancy to some of Northrop Grumman's military technology.

Want to get it through Andrew.

Emma said anxiously, "How can this be. ”

Felik said weakly: "I also know no, but if I don't do what they say, they will not only kill my father,

and will kill me with me,

for I have seen them for what they are,

Emma, can you help me, don't worry, they said that as long as they get what they want, they will release Little Parker's immediately, and they will never hurt him. ”

Emma kept shaking her head: "No, it can't be like this,

So Parker would be in danger. ”

Felik widened his eyes and raised his voice, "Then you want me to be hurt? They're going to kill me, you know?" ”

Emma stammered: "I ......"

Of course, she didn't want Felik to be hurt, but she didn't want her son to be hurt either. In the past six months, Felik has already figured out Emma's character,

Seeing Emma's expression,

He immediately guessed what the other party was thinking, and immediately took Emma's hand: "They have already said it, they just want to explain what they want to explain,

Never hurt little Parker. ”

At this point, Emma had a question: "What about Andrew? Even if they do put Parker back, what about Andrew?"

Stealing company information is a felony.

No matter how secretive he is, there is no guarantee that he will never be discovered, and by that time, he will face at least ten years in prison.

It's not fair to him. ”

This has been thought about for a long time, and Felik said: "This is simple, if Andrew is willing, those people are willing to help him leave the United States,

Including you and Little Parker, of course.

You can start your life again in other countries, and I think that with Andrew's abilities it will be reused wherever you go,

You are his wife,

You should have faith in him, and then you don't have to worry about the safety of little Parker. Emma was silent, her face changing,

After a while,

She raised her head and looked at Felik with affectionate eyes: "What about you? If I leave the United States, I may never see you again." ”

Felik smiled slightly: "No,

Modern transportation is so developed, when you settle down, you can contact me, I will go to you, I am a fitness trainer,

You can coach anywhere. ”

……

Little Parker, who is now in his second year of elementary school, was taken downstairs by the school bus at half past four in the afternoon, and Emma was already standing on the side of the road waiting.

Picked up little Parker,

Emma didn't go straight home as usual, but walked towards a shopping mall not far from home, but she didn't take the main road.

After walking along the road for a while, I turned into an alley,

Here's the shortcut,

Through the alley, walk more than 100 meters to the mall, but because the alley is narrow and there is a lot of garbage, few people generally walk this one.

As soon as he turned into the alley, little Parker covered his nose,

frowned and said, "Mommy, it stinks, why do we take this road, didn't we all take the one just now?"

Emma's expression was a little strange: "This one is closer,

When Mommy has some things, we have to hurry up and go home after shopping. Little Parker nodded, and didn't speak again, just still covering his nose,

Because it really stinks.

At this moment, an alley less than two meters wide on the left side of the alley suddenly popped out of three people, one of whom grabbed Emma's head.

The other two quickly took control of Little Parker,

Drag into a small alley.

Although these were all discussed with Felik in advance,

But when it really happened, Emma still instinctively wanted to save her son, "Don't move, have you forgotten the agreement?"

At the same time, he put the gun at the door of Emma's head.

Feeling the coldness from the metal, Emma didn't dare to move anymore, and said with a pale face, "You...... Do not harm my son. ”

The man smiled lightly: "Don't worry,

As long as you cooperate well, I guarantee that your son will not be harmed in the slightest, on the contrary, we will still serve you with good food and drink. ”

Seeing that Emma's mood has stabilized,

The man put the gun down,

Then he said: "You can contact Felik if there is any situation." Remember, you only have one week, and you know the consequences if you exceed the time.

Also, if Andrew wants to leave the United States,

Pls notify me in advance,

Getting the three of you out of the U.S. safely requires a lot of preparation. With that, the man ignored Emma and turned and walked into the alley.

Soon it was gone.

……

When she returned home, Emma immediately called Andrew, who was sorting out the information at hand, and was very anxious when she heard his wife's tone,

Don't care about work,

Hurried home, just opened the door, before Emma could speak: "My son was kidnapped by a group of people from an unknown province.

Son on vacation?

Andrew's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on." Emma said with a face full of self-reproach: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault,

I shouldn't have walked that alley,

I just wanted to get to the mall quickly, buy something and go home early, but who knew that a group of people suddenly popped up and kidnapped Parker in the blink of an eye. ”

Andrew asked, "Did you call the police?"

Emma shook her head and said, "We said that if I dared to call the police, we would kill little Parker immediately." On the contrary, as long as their requirements are met,

will keep little Parker safe. ”

Andrew frowned and asked, "What do they want?" As a scientific researcher engaged in national defense research, he has a bad premonition.

Emma hesitated for a moment,

But in the end, he said: "They want information on the F-23 fighter." Andrew's heart pounded, and he said secretly, Sure enough,

When hearing that little Parker was kidnapped,

He guessed that the kidnapper might be an agent of a certain country, and the real target should be him, and then get what he wants through him.

But he didn't guess that what the place wanted was the information of the F-23.

After all, this is a failed project.

And it's been several years, so the materials have been locked in the archives, and even he, the participant, has almost forgotten.

1985 year

The U.S. Air Force proposes a design requirement to replace the F-15 for a next-generation fighter, and each company proposes its own draft design on paper.

1986 year

The U.S. Air Force announced that it will select two of the most promising designs for a 48-month prototype design and flight test program during the demonstration and validation phase.

In July of the same year,

The U.S. Air Force selected Loma and Northrop to enter the next stage of the competition, and recommended that the three unsuccessful companies form a design team with the winners.

to share the design effort, cost and loss.

Northrop chose to join forces with McDonnell ▪ Douglas to go toe-to-toe with Loma, General Dynamics, and Boeing's teams.

Northrop and McDonnell Douglas prototypes were modeled YF-23

The first prototype left the factory on June 23, 1990, with its first test flight on August 27 and its fifth test flight on September 18.

The test flight project is supersonic cruise,

Without the use of afterburners, the YF-23 reached a cruising speed of Mach 1.43. The second prototype left the factory on September 29.

At the same time, YF-23's competitor YF-22 also launched test flights.

The first cruise speed reached Mach 1.5,

But this is due to the fact that the thrust of the YF23 engine used by the YF-120 is much smaller than that of the YF22 engine used by the YF-119.

In fact, YF-23 pays more attention to high speed than YF=22,

In the case of the same engine,

The YF-23's over-cruising speed is definitely higher than that of the YF-22. According to the estimates of the YF120 engine's design company, Singary,

If the YF-22 can reach Mach 1.6,

The lighter and more slender YF-23 is likely to reach Mach 1.8, which is an advantage of Mach 0.

In addition, the YF-22 took the requirements for stealth to the extreme.

The YF-22 was only slightly superior in super-maneuverability.

But in the end the YF-23 was defeated.

He did not lose to the YF-22, but to himself, only because his concept was too advanced and the US Air Force considered the risk too high,

Hence the choice of the YF-22 with a traditional aerodynamic layout.

In addition, there are a number of factors. For example, Northrop's B-2 bomber development project had a lot of budget overruns and time lag.

And in 1990,

Northrop did not very please the US Air Force in the development of the Silent Rainbow missile.

On the contrary, Loma's ability to manage and execute the F-117 in the development and production of the F-117 has satisfied the U.S. Air Force.

And the YF-22 team also has Boeing, which is very experienced with large-scale programs.

The defeat of YF-23 had a very big impact, and the huge R&D investment directly led to Northrop's financial crisis.

Persisted until 1994,

Eventually, it merged with Grumman to become Northrop Grumman. And McDonnell Douglas, who cooperated with it, ended up even more miserable,

Acquired directly by Boeing.

Getting back to business,

Andrew is one of the main leaders of the YF-23 project, and participated in the development of the fighter, test flight and final defeat.

After the merger of Northrop and Grumman,

The company's top management asked someone to take responsibility for the failure of the project, although he was only a scientific researcher, and did not participate in the administrative work of the project.

but became one of the scapegoats.

The salary has not changed, but he no longer participates in specific scientific research work, and is transferred to the archives and is responsible for the sorting and archiving of all scientific research materials.

Of course, he is not alone in the staff of the archives.

He guessed that the reason why he was targeted was because of his new job. Although the archives have a whole set of workflows and specifications,

There are also sufficiently strong regulatory measures,

But after all, it's a human operator,

If he really made a desperate bet, it was not impossible to get some information. But the problem is that he doesn't want to be a traitor.

After a moment of silence,

He shook his head: "No, I can't do that. ”

Hearing this, Emma was very emotional: "Do you want your son to die? Or is work more important than your son in your heart?"

How can you be so ruthless. ”

Andrew covered his face in pain, on the one hand, his country, his own faith, on the other hand, his only son, what should he do?

After a while,

He looked up and said, "We can call the police, we should trust the ability of the FBI." Emma sneered: "Maybe you're right,

The FBI was able to catch those kidnappers,

But what about little Parker?

The kidnappers should have killed him before he was caught by the FBI, and if that were the case, the executioners wouldn't be the kidnappers.

It's you,

It was you who killed your own son with your own hands. ”

Andrew stood up excitedly: "Then what do you say, do I have to agree to their request? Do you know what that means?"

I will be labeled a traitor,

I'm going to lose it all. ”

Emma didn't give in: "Don't you feel selfish to sacrifice your son's life just because you're afraid of losing your job and going to jail?" ”

Andrew knew he had lost his words,

Hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that agreeing to their request is not the best way, we have to calm down......"

Emma grabbed the white: "Then what else do you say?"

How do you tell me to calm down?

You know, Parker is timid, maybe he's crying for mom and dad at this time. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Andrew sat back on the couch decadently,

Why didn't he want to save his son right away?

But he had never encountered such a situation, and he didn't know what to do about it for a while. For a moment, all that was left in the living room was Emma's sobs.

After a while, Emma gradually stopped her tears,

The mood also calmed down a bit: "The kidnappers only give us a week, and if they can't get anything within a week, they will tear up the ticket."

But on the contrary,

If we do what they ask, they will not only keep Parker safe, but they will also pay you $10 million.

If you can get a full set of information about the fighter,

The rewards will be more.

In addition, if you are worried about being discovered, they will arrange for our family of three to leave the United States secretly and can go to other countries to settle,

You can also go to their country,

I know very well that your abilities will be important in any country, and if you go to their country, security is no longer an issue. ”

Hearing this, Andrew's decadent face finally regained a little spirit,

The other party didn't do anything perfectly,

After being silent for a long time, he shook his head lightly: "Give me a little time, this will be the most difficult decision in my life, I need time." ”

Emma frowned slightly,

What do you want to say again,

After all, it was a very good signal that Andrew did not explicitly refuse, not to mention that they still had a week.

She believed she could convince Andrew.

……

—————————————————————————————————————

Outside an ordinary house on the outskirts of the city, a shabby-looking sedan slowly stopped with a screeching sound of brakes.

Then a stout man got out of the car,

It was Felik,

He casually looked around, and then walked into the private house, which has four floors, although it was already night, but he didn't see the lights.

The stairwell was pitch black,

When he walked to the second floor, two figures suddenly popped out of the darkness, and Felik said lightly, "It's me." The two figures paused for a moment,

seems to be determining Felik's identity,

And then retreated,

As if it had never been, Felik continued to go up,

Finally, he stopped on the fourth floor, stood in front of a door, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, paused for two seconds, and then knocked three times.

After a few seconds,

The door clicked open, and it was opened by a young white man: "Mr. Gopher." The white man's tone was respectful,

Felik nodded faintly,

Walk into the house,

The lights were on in the room, but the windows were covered with a thick black cloth, no wonder it was pitch black from the outside, "How is that child?"

As he spoke, he was already walking towards a room,

This room was buttoned from the outside, he opened the button, gently pushed the door open, and saw a child lying on the bed, sleeping,

It was Emma's son, Parker Jr.

The white man whispered in the back: "He was still crying just now, and he refused to eat, and it took a lot of effort to get him to drink some milk.

After drinking the milk, I fell asleep,

I should be tired. ”

Felik closed the door and said, "Take care of him as much as possible, Andrew may choose to leave the United States, and we will be our own people in the future." ”

The white man nodded in agreement, "I understand." ”
