Diego Garcia, Research Center.

When the results appeared on the computer screen, Burke was very unwilling, but he had to admit that the person who developed and designed the device was smarter than him, and better than all the scientists. This is the one hundred and twenty-eighth attempt, and the last. One hundred and twenty-eight defeats in a row made Burke accept reality.

"Turn off the system and inject fifteen CC of propofol."

"Professor......" The scientist standing next to the hospital bed turned his head and looked at Burke with surprise.

Burke nodded, not saying anything more.

"Fifteen CC propofol, ready for intravenous injection." The researchers didn't ask any more questions. The study lasted almost two days, and it was time to end.

Seeing the scientists inject the sedative into the intravenous infusion line of the desert island Long Zhijian, Burke turned to leave.

Propofol is a powerful sedative with a general anesthetic effect, and a dose of 15 CC is enough to anesthetize Desert Island Longzhijian for twenty-four hours.

Back in the office, Burke sorted out the results of one hundred and twenty-eight tests and contacted Stark.

"Professor."

"General Stark, despite our best efforts, I have to tell you that all of our one hundred and twenty-eight attempts have failed."

"Twenty-four hours left, can't we try again?"

Burke smiled reluctantly and said, "General, even if we make another hundred and twenty-eight attempts, the result will be the same, we can't remove the nerve center control unit intact from the Desert Island Dragon Fitness. If you forcibly pick it, you can only get one scrap item. ”

"I gave you the best equipment, and the most experienced researchers."

"That's right, it's a pity that it was the smartest scientist in the world who designed this device."

"You are all the best scientists in the world, there are more than a hundred of you, can't you even compare to one person?"

"General, you know Luo Jinyong better than me." Burke sighed and said, "Luo Jinyong is the smartest scientist I have ever met, and his talent is comparable to that of the greatest scientists in history, such as Newton, Einstein, and Bohr. In front of him, we were just middle school students still flipping through textbooks. The nerve center control unit designed by him not only has perfect performance, but also excellent safety measures. We've tried everything, but we still haven't found a hole that we can break through, and it's worthwhile to continue to spend time. ”

"Can you reproduce it?" Stark retreated.

Burke sighed and said, "General, remember what happened when Operation Courage project was launched?" At that time, all scientists believed that with the current technology of mankind, even if we could create a super nuclear warhead with an explosive yield of 200 million tons, the mass would be as high as 20 tons, and the aerospace technology we mastered could not accelerate such a heavy object to more than 100 kilometers per second. ”

Stark didn't say anything, because he knew about it.

When everyone thought that they should abandon the Operation Courage project and turn to other means of defense, Luo Jinyong completed the theoretical research in only one week, proposing that the quality control of the super-nuclear warhead could be controlled within 100 kilograms, and the existing aerospace technology could be used to accelerate it to more than 300 kilometers per second. Over the next month, he solved the challenges associated with the production and storage of metallic deuterium and tritium. ”

"Perhaps, he did the preliminary research."

"Yes, he did the preliminary research. His research in the field of superconductivity and power reserve technology has laid the foundation for solving these problems. The point is that it would take other scientists years or even decades to overcome such a world-wide scientific research problem, but it only took him a month. Burke sighed and said, "It took Luo Jinyong a year to develop the nerve center control unit. If it were me, or a better scientist than me, it might take ten years to do it. It is obviously impossible to replicate this device. ”

"But someone did."

"Really?"

"Someone has built a similar device that does most of the functionality."

"Why don't you let him deal with this problem?"

Stark was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

"General, I have done my best, and the others have done their best. We failed to succeed, and we can only say that our ability is not as good as Luo Jinyong. Since someone else has made a similar device and implemented most of the functions, I suggest that this person do the rest of the work. ”

"It's too late."

"What?"

"Nothing." Stark sighed and said, "I must reply to Yang Fanglie within twenty-four hours, and after you finish finishing the work, you will hand over the desert island dragon to Howard." You'll have to send back the results of the study and the data you've obtained. ”

"No problem, I'll arrange it immediately."

"Anything else?"

Burke shook his head, he just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, so that he could focus on more important things, such as monitoring and analyzing the 2014X1 asteroid.

At the end of the correspondence, Stark pondered for a while and asked the secretary to connect to Yang Fanglie's hotline.

Since Burke can't get useful things on the Desert Island Dragon Fitness, it will be very disadvantageous for the United States to drag it out, because the Chinese side will also use this time to conduct research on Chu Tianjiang's Doomsday Warrior system, and try to obtain the core technology of the subsystem developed by the United States.

Only by letting Chu Tianjiang return to Diego Garcia with the Doomsday Warrior system can such a thing be avoided.

"General Stark, don't worry, I will definitely do what I say. Within twenty-four hours, I will have Chu Tianjiang return to the Doomsday Force to report. As for the central control unit for Italy, I'll have the researchers take it to Diego Garcia. Nothing else, I won't bother you. Turning off the communication equipment, Yang Fanglie laughed and said to the three people who stayed outside the camera's shooting range, "How is it?" As I said, Stark would reach out to me and urge you to go back. Looks like he's already had results. ”

"Or rather, nothing." Luo Jinyong muttered.

"Really?"

"If the Yankees had the ability to develop a similar operation, they wouldn't have let the little devils join in." Luo Jinyong took the cigarette handed by Zhang Xiaogang and said, "I analyzed the data obtained from Stevenson, the control unit developed by Kotaro Takeuchi is not perfect, there are many loopholes, and the functions of the Doomsday Warrior system are not fully exerted, otherwise Lao Chu would not be able to easily subdue him." If Yasutaro Takeuchi had lived, he might have been inspired by the desert island of Ryuyuken to develop a control unit of comparable performance a few years later. Unfortunately, he died, and the United States may not be able to be a scientist of equal ability. Even if there were, it would not be possible to get something useful in such a short time. Besides, Stark urged us to go back, making it clear that he didn't want us to work on the Doomsday Warrior system. ”

"So, you're studying Chu Tianjiang's Doomsday Warrior System?"

Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, do you think I'm the kind of person who follows the rules?" The more Stark doesn't want me to do something, the more I'm going to do it. ”

Yang Fanglie also laughed. "So, how's it going?"

"I copied all the control programs for the subsystems, and I sampled and stored each subsystem. If I was given enough time, I would be able to crack these control programs and figure out how to produce the various subsystems. To put it bluntly, I'm sure to replicate the Doomsday Warrior system. ”

"How much time does it take?"

"I don't know what to do."

"This ......"

"Each subsystem has its own control program, and each control program has hundreds of millions of lines of code, and we have to analyze these codes line by line. Even if I am given enough manpower, it will take ten or twenty days. As for replicating the individual subsystems, it takes more time. ”

Yang Fanglie frowned, obviously not very satisfied with Luo Jinyong's reply.

"Mr. Yang, if the professor can't do it, others can't do it either. Don't forget, each subsystem of the Doomsday Warrior is the brainchild of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of researchers over the course of a year. The professor's ability to crack all the control programs in twenty days is remarkable. "Zhang Xiaogang's ability to grasp the opportunity is very strong, and he can convince Yang Fanglie in just a few words." Besides, even if we were able to replicate the individual subsystems immediately, we would not be able to mass-produce them without the most important raw materials and basic production processes. ”

"In this way, we can still only rely on Chu Tianjiang." Yang Fanglie turned his gaze to Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, and the more he knew, the less sure he was about the future.

"I want to stay." Luo Jinyong led the topic to himself.

"For what?"

"There's still a lot of things I have to deal with here, and I'm not at ease when I leave them to someone else. Tong Shaowei stayed in Diego Garcia, and he could handle the affairs over there for me. ”

Yang Fanglie was a little hesitant, or rather hesitant.

"Not right now." Zhang Xiaogang shook his head and said, "Professor, if you don't go to Diego Garcia, even if you stay in Beijing to drink and pick up girls, Stark will be suspicious, thinking that we are doing something stealing behind the Planetary Defense Council, so as to strengthen our precautions, and even do something very unfavorable to us." You have to go to Diego Garcia and leave the work here to someone else. ”

"Transfer Tong Shaowei back?" Yang Fanglie said.

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head again and said, "Tong Shaowei is the chief assistant to the professor, and he is also the key monitoring target. Professor, who do you think is the best fit? ”

"This ......" Luo Jinyong looked a little embarrassed.

"Among the domestic scientific researchers, there is no suitable candidate?" Yang Fanglie asked, but it was a bit redundant. If there is a suitable candidate, Luo Jinyong will not feel embarrassed.

"There are still twenty days before the judgment day, so you don't have to choose from the scientific researchers around you." Zhang Xiaogang saw Luo Jinyong's concerns. "As long as there is enough ability, let him join. Of course, the premise is that it must be absolutely reliable and subject to the personal control of the intelligence security agencies. ”
