After dealing with Dongfang New Energy, Duke was about to pack his things and leave for Switzerland to join the subcritical nuclear fission reactor project proposed by Dr. Hertz to see if he could get some inspiration and technology for his second-generation Lotus reactor.

was busy, Qin Tairan suddenly came to the door, this time not directly with the task, but wanted Duke to go directly to the capital with him. Because the head surnamed Liu wants to see Duke.

"What the hell is going on?" Duke was a little puzzled, as if the matter in Qin Tairan's hands was almost to the end at present, whether it was Project 7 or Project 10, the rest was basically a matter of grinding and verification.

"This incident is very important, the degree of confidentiality is very high, and even I don't know the specific thing." Qin Tairan knew Duke's temper, and knew that deception in this kind of thing was more likely to cause Duke's disgust, and he had finally established a sense of trust with Duke, but he didn't want to fall short.

"But this matter will not have many restrictions on you personally, the chief has promised that it will be done when it is done, just like before. As long as you don't have to record anything on your personal computer or storage device. ”

Duke frowned, Qin Tairan said this, it must be a highly confidential project of the military, Duke has always been careful not to be directly involved in this kind of project, because the deeper he participates, the greater the restrictions on himself, at this stage, Duke has a lot to do, but he doesn't want to be so constrained.

"How important is it?" Duke asked.

"I really don't know." Qin Tairan said with a wry smile, "Really confidential things, the fewer people who know, the safer, since the chief personally arranged this matter, and didn't let me know anything, then the scope of knowing about this matter is very small, maybe the whole country will not add up to more than 50 people." ”

Qin Tairan's words are not boastful, the projects he is in charge of now are actually top secret to the public, and the things he knows are highly confidential even in the military, and the management is directly under the office of the military center surnamed Liu, not in a local research institute or a certain army, and the confidentiality requirements can be imagined.

But even Qin Tairan couldn't know about this matter, and it was obviously more confidential.

"However, the impact of this matter on our country must be strategic, and if it is not a very urgent need, the above will not directly issue this order." Qin Tairan added.

"I heard that there is a mysterious No. 1 project in the military that has been kept secret, and I don't know what it does, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it." This is purely Qin Tairan's guess.

Duke thought about it, but nodded in agreement, he lived in this country, if he could really do something for it, and it wouldn't have much impact on his own affairs, then it was worth doing.

Accompanied by Qin Tairan, Duke flew to the capital, an Audi A6 car with a local ordinary license plate, and took the two to an inconspicuous hill on the outskirts of the capital, which looked like a primeval forest from a distance, and the Audi car paused at a gate, and after the automatic camera device flashed, the door opened automatically.

But passing through this gate is only the first layer of security, and the Audi car is constantly encountering checkpoints on the winding tree-lined paths, each of which strictly checks the identity of the Audi driver and passengers.

When they arrived at the destination, it was a 3-story building built by the mountain, and the driver sent Duke and them here, opened the car door, and saluted a military salute "Hello chief!" According to the order, it has arrived at the destination safely, please instruct! ”

Duke hadn't seen this posture yet, and after getting out of the car, he was a little dazed and at a loss in the face of this situation, but fortunately, Qin Tairan had experience, and returned the salute according to the army, "The task is well completed, please return to the team." ”

"Yes!" The driver saluted again, then turned around and got into the car.

At this time, the door of the small building opened, and a familiar person from Duke came out of it, and Director Sun Hong greeted him with a smile, "Dr. Du, Director Qin, the chief ordered me to come and greet the two of you." ”

In this kind of private contact, Director Sun Hong doesn't care so much about the order, although Qin Tairan's current rank of colonel is two grades higher than his rank as the director. According to the rules of officialdom, Director Sun Hong should obviously put Qin Tairan in front.

However, on this occasion, don't say that Qin Tairan doesn't care, even if he has any ideas, it is impossible to say anything to Director Sun Hong, who is a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

"Director Sun, I can bring the people, what do you do, you take Dr. Duke to arrange" Qin Tairan knew that his responsibility this time was to bring Duke here to meet with the chief, since this kind of thing was not explained to him, that is, he was not allowed to participate, so as soon as Sun Hong arrived, Qin Tairan said to Director Sun Hong with a clean smile.

"Director Qin bothered, please wait a moment, after the chief meets Dr. Duke, I want to talk to you next." Director Sun Hong is also not polite, he is now dealing with this matter on behalf of the chief. After saying sorry and smiling at Qin Tairan, he led Duke upstairs.

There was a row of sofas on the first floor of the small building, Qin Tairan didn't care, walked over and sat down by himself, his back straight, and he just sat with his eyes and nose like this.

Duke followed Director Sun Hong to the second floor, and there was no one in the entire building, except for a guard on duty next to the stairs going upstairs, Duke did not see the presence of a second person. In this solemn atmosphere, there was a certain pressure on people, but fortunately, Duke didn't go far before he came to an office, which was not even numbered, and the door of the room did not look unusual, it was an ordinary solid wood door.

Director Sun Hong knocked lightly on the door frame, "Report chief, Dr. Duke has arrived." Sun Hong reported softly.

"Invite the guests in." An old and majestic voice sounded inside, and Duke still had a vague impression that it was the voice of the head surnamed Liu.

"Yes!" After Sun Hong replied respectfully, he made an inviting gesture to Duke, "Dr. Du, please inside!" ”

Duke took a breath, calmed down his mood, and followed Director Sun Hong into the room, which was an office of sixty or seventy square meters, in addition to a row of bookcases, a large desk, two rows of sofas, and two solid wood coffee tables.

These things seem to be a little more rustic than the last time Duke met. Just on one wall, Duke could see at a glance that the black frame-like thing was a video wall spliced with a display screen developed by his company. It's the only place in this office that looks more modern.
