Chapter 493: Matt's Progress and Ambitions
Duke's action, the real reason behind it, even the family didn't tell it, anyway, similar situations have been more than once, the family has been used to Duke's life, Du's father and Du's mother will only be proud of their son's work, as for Shu Ya, she doesn't feel it, because she can go to the base at any time, or live in the base, the base has arranged an independent villa for Duke, and there is no restriction on Duke's family to go at all.
In other words, unconsciously, Duke has changed a new living environment, and outside of this new living environment, there are a series of heavily guarded military cordons.
Cai Siqiang and Zhao Jianwu are even more unconscious, Duke is now in more and more contact with the military, and projects like this are commonplace, not to mention that this base is so close to Rongcheng, everyone never thought that Duke is actually a key target of the CIA now, when Duke went to the base, these brothers didn't even come out to tell someone or anything, in their opinion, there is no need for this at all, more than an hour's drive, half an hour's air flight, it's really no big deal to come back for a tea at any time and go back.
But Matt, who failed to tackle Lex and stayed in Rongcheng to find a way, felt that there was something wrong with this, although the information from the inside line showed that Duke was going to participate in a military project, but Matt's intuition thought that this timing was too delicate, if you look at it from a bad point of view, it is like Duke is deliberately avoiding what news he received.
Although Matt had not yet thought that the incident was related to the CIA, Matt suspected that Lex might have given some hints to Duke, and that only such an explanation was plausible.
Judging from the unhappy party with Lex that day, Matt knew that Lex was very loyal to Duke's boss, and judging from Lex's responsibilities, there was nothing wrong with this, and protecting the boss was originally a bodyguard's duty, which was a minimum work ethic.
In all fairness, Matt had carefully studied Duke's life before he came, he was not as exaggerated as Snyder's imagination, in his opinion, Duke was a scientific and technological genius born out of thin air, of course, with the intelligence coming out of the inside, Duke is now closely involved in the Chinese military's projects, although the insiders have not yet figured out how much Duke is involved, but at least now it can be confirmed that Duke has contributed to the improvement of China's new generation of tanks and fighters.
As for the Lotus reactor nuclear reactor studied by Duke, according to accurate information, the Chinese military has asked for small power improvements, seeking to improve the Lotus reactor into a new generation of nuclear power reactors.
Although the CIA's intelligence ended here, and there was no further information that Duke's S-1 and S-2 nuclear power reactors had begun to operate on the destroyer, it was already a very important piece of information for CIA analysts.
Combined with the information they obtained in Bangladesh, the technical analysts came to an astonishing conclusion: this nuclear power reactor is completely superior to the main nuclear power reactor currently used by the US military, and in terms of power, safety, noise level and space occupation, the Lotus reactor is comprehensively ahead of the various nuclear reactors designed by the United States today.
In other words, the Chinese Navy will soon get a new kind of nuclear power plant, which can be used not only to power aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered submarines, but even destroyers and frigates, with the possibility of nuclear power, to gain nearly unlimited cruising capabilities. For the Chinese Navy, this will greatly enhance its combat capability and operating radius – the space originally used to install large gas turbine units can be used to install more weapons and installations, and the space used to carry huge amounts of fuel can be changed to carry more weapons and ammunition, while reducing the material requirements of the ship for each replenishment.
Matt believes that the CIA has made a comprehensive surveillance of Duke, and it is very necessary to obtain first-hand information about Duke, but it is a pity that Lex, who has entered Duke's life circle, does not cooperate, and may even make some kind of hint to make Duke have some precautions.
Of course, Lex definitely didn't reveal more information, such as Matt's true identity and other sensitive content, otherwise Matt wouldn't have the ability to move freely now, which fully shows that Lex is still very measured, although everyone has a different philosophy on the issue of Duke, but after all, the two used to be an old relationship that fought side by side in the same trench, and Lex would not betray his country, let alone stab his brother in the back.
It's just that when Duke entered the scope of the Chinese military reserve, the difficulty of getting close to Duke materials increased exponentially, in this case, Matt had to wait for further opportunities, one by one, in order to make the reason for being stranded in China more reasonable, Matt obtained a job offer from the CIA's U.S.-funded company's office in Chengdu through the CIA's connections, and changed to a Chinese business visa and work visa.
Matt is not a person who easily admits defeat, and his years in the military combined with a life of secret work have given him enough patience and perseverance to persevere. He began to move around as a staff member in the office, and his current role is to market a high-performance, specialized electronic chip that is widely used in electronic products such as mobile phones and smart TVs.
SAL and its subsidiaries are one of Matt's favorite places to visit, as they are both potential customers for his product pitch and the best places for Matt to get up close and personal with all aspects of Duke. Matt pretended to be very admiring Duke, and it was easy to win the favor of the employees of SAL and its subsidiaries One by one, it was rare to meet an American who so sincerely admired a Chinese, and these employees in China suddenly had a sense of honor.
So Matt easily gained the goodwill of the staff under Duke's various companies, and began to establish a variety of working relationships, asking some employees who had contact with Duke to come out to go out to a bar or drink tea or something, this kind of very reasonable business contacts, no one cares, so intentionally or unintentionally, Matt heard a lot of information about Duke.
To be honest, SAL has done a very poor job in carrying out security and confidentiality awareness education, perhaps Zhao Jianwu believes that because the company has generally adopted the cloud R&D management system, it has a good protection mechanism for the core wisdom products of the enterprise, so that the documents and codes developed by the company are placed in the cloud, so that the R&D personnel can only see the parts they need for their work, and can not make any copy operations, so the confidentiality is very strong.
In this case, the training of personnel confidentiality awareness was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, so when these SAL staff casually said that Duke had made instructions and suggestions for improvement on such and such a project...... It was from this half-clawed information that Matt was able to sort out the scope of the project in which Duke was involved.
Obviously, after seeing the project map he depicted, Matt realized that the judgment of Duke was still too superficial, and Duke's relationship with the Chinese military was completely beyond everyone's imagination, and now Duke even began to have a military enterprise DSM specializing in the development of drones and tanks!
