"Did you catch another plane, how do you feel like you're coming across the other side to deliver it?"

Looking at the latest briefing that was sent over, Chen Nian said to himself.

From the EP-3E a long time ago, to the EA-6B, and now to the current EC-130H, the results are bigger and bigger.

I really don't know if one day, the other side will take the initiative to send the F-22 to the door.

However, in the case that the J-22 has successfully made its first flight, I don't know if the other side will continue the F-22 project.

After all, since the birth of this thing, the only purpose has been to seize absolute air supremacy, but now, this "absoluteness" has been broken.

That means that the F-22's mission has been forced to end early.

Perhaps, they will develop more advanced fighters?

It's not impossible.

Although our side seems to have taken advantage of it in recent times, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called advantage is actually just a point-to-point breakthrough in a small area.

The technical background of the other party is still unquestionable, as long as they want to, they can indeed continue to develop on the basis of the F-22, and even directly cross the fourth generation, or the fifth generation, and directly enter the era of the sixth generation aircraft.

When the time comes, the J-22 still does not have an advantage.

Of course, this is only an deduction under the premise of normal development.

But now that you have your own plug-in, you're afraid that you won't be able to do the sixth-generation aircraft?

When your sixth-generation aircraft comes out, I'll go to the sky.

Chen Nian shook his head, threw away the report in his hand, and began to examine his "task manager" on paper as usual.

[Current source points: 4.37]

[Daily average source point growth rate: 0.15]

[Task 1: Analyze the core technology of high-speed rail. Source Consumption: 6.7】

In two days, the number of source points increased by another 0.35 points, which is actually slightly higher than the average daily growth rate, but this can only be regarded as an accidental breakthrough.

At the current rate, there will be about 20 days for the core technology of high-speed rail to begin to be analyzed.

Everything is ready on Zhang Shuguang's side, and the negotiations with the four suppliers have been deliberately dragged into an impasse, and now he is waiting for the card in Chen Nian's hand to be created, and then looking for an opportunity to play it.

——

The time is not urgent, after all, the negotiation of such a large-scale project, the preparation time for any meeting, is measured in months.

If it progresses too fast, it will not be conducive to your own side to seize the right to speak.

Chen Nian sighed silently, lamenting the complexity of affairs.

I really don't know how the great people of the older generation persevered, the work in their hands was more complicated than their own, and the final achievements were far beyond themselves.

If nothing else, it has resisted foreign invasions, rebuilt broken mountains and rivers in the space of decades, and then turned a weak agricultural country into an industrial power with astonishing efficiency.

It's unbelievable to say this kind of thing.

If only I had the opportunity to learn from them

After a moment of silence, he put away his wandering thoughts and began to organize his plans.

Now, the silicon material metallurgy course in his hand has been basically completed, and Mo Zhongmin, as a teacher, praised him.

He had never seen a student who learned as fast as Chen Nian.

The key is that Chen Nian is not only fast, but also effective.

If I have to describe it, it is intense, deep and frequent.

Therefore, in a unit of time, the density of knowledge he has mastered is much greater than that of others.

After completing the silicon material metallurgy course, Chen Nian plans to start learning "advanced functional materials/thin films, energy materials", which is the most cost-effective research direction in the short term selected by Mo Zhongmin for him.

However, this topic has relatively high requirements for various basic disciplines, and in large classes, Chen Nian has to learn as far ahead as possible, so as not to be unable to keep up with the courses of small classes because of basic problems.

Chen Nian glanced at the class schedule for the new semester, and all the major courses within Xi'an University of Technology this semester had been adjusted, and there was no useless course on it, and there was no need to think about the elective courses, all of them were cut.

The overall training program is in the form of a "special class".

Of course, there was no special class or juvenile class at Xi'an University of Technology, but it was purely because of Chen Nian that such a class was set up and some people were pulled in.

This made Chen Nian a little entangled.

I really can't do it, just drop out.

It's convenient for everyone.

I hadn't thought about this before, mainly because I felt that there were not many projects and I could handle it.

But now, it is both a high-speed rail and an aircraft carrier, and it is a bit inconvenient and unnecessary to retain the identity of a student.

Next semester.

You will definitely drop out of the next semester.

As for what justification to use. Let any of them recruit themselves.

It will not cause too much movement, and the logical chain is also smooth, so it is not easy for people to see the flaws.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to turn to the next page of the class schedule.

Originally, he was the last reluctant to go to physical education class, but he was retained.

In terms of events, badminton was also chosen

Probably because I think this sport is relatively safe and the amount of exercise is large.

But it's a question of whether or not to go for it.

Theoretically, even if you really don't go, the above will not send someone to take you away, but if you think about it casually, you can know that these people can do the thing of building a museum for themselves, which shows that the importance they attach to themselves is absolutely unprecedented.

Then, forcing yourself to exercise and maintain good health is also something that is bound to happen.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative, so that it seems decent.

Chen Nian reluctantly dropped the class schedule, glanced at the time, and it was almost time for afternoon classes, so he decisively packed up his textbooks and went out in the direction of the teaching building.

The four sessions in the afternoon are all statistics, which belong to the underlying basic disciplines related to materials science, and will be frequently used in the follow-up into practical engineering applications, so Chen Nian is also in the spirit of 12 points, and he is more serious than anyone else in class.

After finishing a lesson, Chen Nian checked his system interface, and the source point had increased by 0.03, and now it had reached 4.4 points.

One step closer to the goal!

He wanted to go to the library for a few more hours, but after thinking about it carefully, he had already brought all the materials he needed back to his lodgings, and there was really no need to study in public, so he simply walked in the direction of the west gate, intending to have some dinner.

Of course, he could have had the security guards bring the food, but he wasn't willing to do that.

Because, this is his way of contaminating the fireworks of the world.

In this year, many times, he can't help but feel that he is far away from those "ordinary people" who he once was familiar with, and sometimes even feels that maybe he does not belong to the same world as them.

The reason is not only because he was reborn, but more importantly, because his "position" has risen too fast.

It's like a bamboo, when the spring rain comes, it suddenly jumps up a few meters, more than ten meters, but its root system is not developed.

At this time, his vision was forced to reach the clouds, and he was blocked by layers of branches and leaves, and he gradually lost sight of the dirt under his feet.

He hated it.

——

Or rather, fear.

Therefore, he always forced himself to look for opportunities to lower his head a little.

The reason why I am reluctant to leave the university is actually such a consideration.

After walking out of the school gate, Chen Nian came to the familiar sheep soup restaurant, which was the same one he had dinner with Wang Jiancheng last time, and the owner of the restaurant greeted him warmly as soon as he saw him.

"Little brother, are you here?"

"Here, a bowl of mutton soup, and some steamed buns-—— I'll break them myself."

Following the customs of the locals, Chen Nian also learned the habits of the Northwest people.

It doesn't matter if the soup is authentic or not, the steamed bun must be broken by yourself, whether it is cut or broken by others, it has no soul.

"Okay, sit down for a while, and you'll be right here."

The proprietress was smiling as always, but Chen Nian vaguely felt that she seemed to be extra happy today.

"What's the matter, boss, there's a happy event?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Happy event. Hey, it's not a happy event, it's a bit of a good thing. ”

The proprietress wiped her hands and replied beautifully.

"Tell me about it? I'm also naked? ”

"Harm, what kind of light are you touching? I remember that your hometown is south, right? When you first arrived, you still had a bit of a southern accent. ”

"yes, from the south."

Chen Nian replied vaguely.

"Then it has nothing to do with you."

As soon as she said this, Chen Nian became even more curious.

"Tell me about it, it's still a secret? I'm so tight-mouthed! ”

Looking at Chen Nian's curious look, the proprietress hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually, it's nothing to tell you, I'm just afraid that the spread will be too wide, and it won't be easy to do."

"Let me tell you, your eldest brother has a whole car!"

"A whole car? What does it mean? Own car? ”

"No, it's a bus!"

"Buses? What's going on? ”

Chen Nian asked suspiciously.

At first, when the proprietress said that she had a whole car, he was quite surprised, after all, private cars have not been so popular in these years, or rather, they are still luxury, and the proprietress can buy her own car in such a small shop, which is beyond his expectations.

But after the second half of the sentence was finished, he reversed his guess.

This doesn't look like a private car to buy.

Who is a good person to buy a bus to travel?

"Oh, it's not September, we haven't been home for several years, so I'm thinking about going home for the Chinese New Year this year."

"But you also know that tickets for the Spring Festival are not easy to buy, and we couldn't buy tickets every year in previous years."

"So this time, your eldest brother and I simply changed our minds, stopped buying train tickets, and went back by myself!"

"Your eldest brother came back from the scrap yard to buy a car, and it cost less than 5,000 yuan, everything can be used, but there is a bit of a problem with the engine."

"It just so happens that he has learned a little auto repair, and we plan to repair it ourselves and drive home for the New Year!"

Hearing this, Chen Nian suddenly realized.

I see.

In these years, the "Spring Festival" is not as easy as after the high-speed rail, and every Chinese New Year is the time when the railway capacity is subject to a major test.

He still remembers that at the peak of the period, the railway had to carry more than 200 million trips during the Spring Festival, and it was really hard to find train tickets before and after the year.

Scalpers emerge in an endless stream, and it is common for a ticket of dozens of dollars to be fried to hundreds of yuan.

Because of the problems caused by pickpocketing and fare evasion, it is even more common.

This situation reached its peak in '08.

That year, combined with the rain, snow and ice disasters in the south, the railway capacity was stretched to the limit, and more than 400,000 passengers were stranded at a railway station in Guangzhou alone.

The scene at that time.

Chen Nian can't describe it, but it can be imagined that it must be extremely painful.

In this case, people who want to return home have come up with various solutions.

Motorcycles, hiking, roads. Do whatever it takes.

They starved on the road, in fact, it was just to see their relatives and their hometown on that day of family reunion.

Therefore, it is really not unusual for the proprietress to come up with such a solution.

But if it's just to get home for yourself, you can't afford to buy a bus, right?

"Are you still going to pull people?"

Chen Nian asked.

"Ah, we have a lot of fellow villagers here, and they are all planning to go back for the New Year."

"We've all discussed it, we'll leave at the end of December, slow down on the road, and we'll be there in mid-January."

"I have contacted the driver, and the tickets have been sold, and this trip can basically flatten the money for car repair."

"Well, your eldest brother is smart, right?"

The proprietress showed undisguised pride on her face, and Chen Nian looked at it with envy and emotion.

For them, life is really not easy.

Far from their homeland, they opened a small and dilapidated shop in this big city in their hearts, and the money they made all year round was really not much left except for the expenses and the expenses of their son who went to college.

But they never complained.

They just silently think of a way on their own.

When people in the world mention the so-called "nationality", they will always set the topic high and far, but they just don't know if those so-called experts, so-called opinion leaders, and so-called public knowledge have really bent down to look at these ordinary people.

Isn't it in them that we can see the true "national character"?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Nian smiled and gave a thumbs up, and said:

"Big brother is awesome!"

"But pay attention to safety on the road, all kinds of licenses must be prepared, so as not to be checked when you get it, then it will be troublesome"

"Don't worry, your eldest brother is reliable."

"We've asked someone about the license or something, and we should be able to get it. It's the trouble of this car's annual inspection, isn't he busy with this matter in the past two days?"

"Hope everything goes well!"

"That's for sure!"

The proprietress put the mutton soup on Chen Nian's table, and seeing that there were no customers in the store, she simply sat down with her, took off her gloves, and helped Chen Nian break the bun together.

"You said that it's not easy to go home for the New Year, I watch TV, people have to go home for Christmas abroad, but it's much easier for them."

"It's an airplane again, and it's a Shinkansen - a high-speed railway."

"Little brother, you also learned to fly, right? In the future, can we make the plane cheaper, so that we ordinary people can also sit on it? ”

Chen Nian's movements paused, and then replied with a smile:

"Airplanes will be cheaper in the future."

"Still, airplanes alone won't do."

"Don't worry, in a few years, I guarantee that if you want to go home again, there won't be any difficulty."

"Look at me."
