The Nantianmen Aerospace Base project is not an urgent project, but of course, it is also time-sensitive.

In Chen Nian's expectations, he intends to complete the project in 10 to 15 years, and through this epoch-making equipment, he will overtake in corners and establish Huaxia's strategic delivery capabilities.

This project is bound to be huge, cumbersome, and difficult, but only by doing this project in a down-to-earth manner can Huaxia really take a step forward and consider the issue of "fighting for hegemony."

——

No, this statement is not accurate.

As we all know, we will not compete for hegemony in the past, present or future, nor will we make any preparations for it.

What we want to do is to spread happiness to all parts of the world, and spread the vision of human unity to all parts of the world.

And in this process, we need some weapons and equipment to help fight those saboteurs with bad intentions, which is actually quite reasonable, right?

Others think it's reasonable Chen Nian doesn't know, anyway, he thinks it's very reasonable.

All in all, after Chen Nian put forward this idea, the higher-level organizations, including the military, immediately started a discussion, and finally determined that Chen Nian's inference was accurate and objectively had to be realized.

So, the project was immediately decided.

Led by the China National Space Administration, with the cooperation of several aerospace departments, resources and manpower are all allocated according to the optimum, and the goal is to lay the foundation of the project in the shortest possible time.

And the specific technical implementation method will be handed over to Xinghuo and Chen Nian to solve.

For this, Chen Nian is also not in a hurry.

Aerospace is inherently a complex system engineering, not to mention this kind of space project that has never been seen before in human history.

It requires a combination of technological breakthroughs in various aspects, including but not limited to materials, fuels, spacecraft design, engines and powertrains. And, of course, energy.

Therefore, it is the wisest solution to take one step at a time and deal with the front-end technology in a down-to-earth manner.

The metallic hydrogen project must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian dialed Chen Guo's phone again.

The latter thought that Chen Nian was going to discuss the allocation of project resources with him, so he said to Chen Nian "face-to-face chat", but Chen Nian stopped him:

"No, Professor Chen, I'm not trying to tell you about the Nantianmen project."

"I want to ask, how is the communication of the metal hydrogen project, Isaac's side, now?"

Hearing Chen Nian's question, Chen Guo immediately replied:

"Basically, there is no problem, according to the intelligence of the previous day, Isaac has agreed to participate in the metal hydrogen research and development project in a consultant manner."

"At the moment he is still relatively cooperative – but there is one thing that is not in line with our expectations."

"Which point?"

Chen Nian asked.

"You would never have thought of it, and to be honest, I didn't expect it either."

"He wants to become a Chinese citizen."

“？？？？ Are you kidding? He's crazy, isn't he? ”

Chen Nian was shocked, Chen Guo's answer could no longer be said to be as simple as making him "surprised".

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Chen Nian even felt that his three views were about to be subverted.

Isaac wants to become a Chinese citizen?

Although he is not a top-notch, strategic scientific researcher over there, he is also a figure with a face no matter how you look at it.

He does not have any academic exclusion at all, even if he does not get much support in the short term because the subject is relatively advanced, he can rely on his other subsidiary projects to get by.

This kind of "very good" is not only reflected in economic interests, but also includes a series of preferential treatment in terms of policies and social status that he enjoys.

This kind of person, he wants to join the Chinese nationality?

Noticing Chen Nian's premonition, Chen Guo replied with a little amusement:

"yes, that's why I said you wouldn't think of it."

"Like you, when I first heard the news, I was really taken aback."

"However, the comrades of the intelligence department analyzed it in detail, and the reason why he came up with such an idea this time is actually quite convincing."

"The root of this matter is still on the previous 055 project."

"Project 055? How does this relate? ”

Chen Nian became more and more confused.

The 055 project and the metallic hydrogen project cannot be said to be unrelated, but to be honest, there is still a distance.

"A very unlikely coincidence. You know, Project Zumwalt and Project 055 are in rivalry. ”

"Then, the Zumwalt project was unfinished, and the researchers and organizers involved were not well handled."

"Among them, the leader of the project is called Jay, and he should have been completely disappointed in them after many negotiations with the US authorities."

"Some time ago, he came to Huaxia and learned some things about our side through the relationship of several research institutes"

"So he asked for citizenship first? Is Isaac his friend? ”

"That's not true, he didn't ask for citizenship, after all, he is too pure to be an American."

"However, he is indeed Isaac's friend, and a very close friend."

"He talked to Isaac about us, and passed on his own judgment to Isaac."

"That is, in the future, Huaxia will inevitably be the core of the world's scientific and technological development, and Isaac should go to Huaxia for development rather than staying in the United States."

"You know, Isaac is Jewish, and he grew up in India."

"Got it"

Chen Nian nodded with a smile.

Good guys, I really don't know enough about Isaac myself.

I only know about his academic research, but I don't know anything about his identity and background.

Jewish+Indian background?

The buff is full.

There is no Motherland buff to the full.

No wonder he will seek to immigrate to China, anyway, for him, where to engage in scientific research is the same, relying on a few patents in the past, his material life has no problems to consider at all, it is better to take a fight and gamble on a chance to leave a name in history.

After a pause, Chen Nian continued to ask:

"Did he make any conditions?"

"Yes, it is mainly an academic condition, such as the requirement for full involvement in the project, such as the requirement for 100% of the right to know, and so on."

"At the moment, we are still negotiating with him, but judging from his reaction, the possibility of realization is still very high"

"Well, let's move on. Don't compromise too much, though. ”

"Seriously, I don't need him that much - he's just my first frame of reference, and it's better to have it, and if I don't, it doesn't affect the big picture."

"Understood, we expect results in a week or two, and we'll let you know when the time comes."

"No problem."

The remarkable progress has been made, which is in any case gratifying, although it is somewhat nonsensical.

He chatted with Chen Guo casually, and was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Guo on the other end suddenly said:

"The project over there is basically ready."

"Judging from the results of the small-scale test on site, the effect is still very good."

"They are now considering doing field tests, and I will let you know as soon as the results are available."

"Okay."

Chen Nian replied briefly, seemingly unconcerned.

But after hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but be silent.

He had been following the progress of the preparations.

He also knows that in addition to pure technical means, the official has also arranged a series of follow-ups.

Theoretically, the damage should be minimized if the crisis is "foreseen" and is well prepared.

However, Chen Nian always felt that he could not feel at ease.

Perhaps, you have to wait for that day to pass before you can really put your mind at ease.

The other side.

Zheng Jiuyuan checked the completion of the surrounding geological shield engineering facilities for the last time, and after seeing that all the shafts had been sealed and all the above-ground facilities were in complete and normal condition, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

In fact, he himself is not a professional engineer and technician, and he has never seen an engineering facility like this.

In the past few months, he has been completely learning and doing, and during the most intense period, he did not even sleep more than 4 hours a day, and he was stunned to complete this engineering project, which is "unfamiliar" to everyone.

And in this process, the attitude of those construction parties who originally regarded him as a layman has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

From the very beginning, he took a bite of Zheng, and now he has begun to respectfully call him "Zheng Gong".

I have to say that the Chinese people are actually Mu Qiang, but unlike some countries, the Mu Qiang of the Chinese people, most of the time, is aimed at those who are willing to dedicate themselves to the collective interests and can turn the tide.

Although everyone didn't know what the purpose of Zheng Jiuyuan and his party was for the time being, they could all see the importance and urgency of this project.

Therefore, when Zheng Jiuyuan showed an attitude of being willing to give everything to this project, they also offered their respect as a matter of course.

Sitting on the mound outside the construction site, Zheng Jiuyuan lit a cigarette for himself, and Zhong Jian on the side was still holding the project materials in his hand, and said to Zheng Jiuyuan while flipping through them:

"Basically, there is no problem, all the inspections have been done, the parameters are fully up to standard, and the results of the small scale test are also very good."

……

Hearing Zhong Jian's relaxed expectation, Zheng Jiuyuan couldn't help but laugh too.

He took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then replied:

"I hope so."

Zhong Jian smiled and said:

"The Sichuan girls are very smart, and losing any of them is an unacceptable thing for me."

Zheng Jiuyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, then he stood up and patted the dust on his pants, reached out and took the materials in Zhong Jian's hand and asked:

"How's the blasting facility going? When can I start a trial? ”

Zhong Jian raised his hand and looked at his watch, and replied:

"According to the plan, it was put in four hours, and I only called half an hour ago to ask about the progress, and the feedback was that the blasting arrangement had been completed."

"In addition, the sensors have been fully checked and are working properly."

"If needed, we can go to the command right now and give the order to start testing."

"Then go now, four hours is still a bit too luxurious for us now, let's be a minute early."

"Understood, let's go."

Zhong Jian didn't say more, in fact, although he looked frivolous, he was definitely a trustworthy comrade-in-arms at work.

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the headquarters, and as one order after another was given, the staff began to evacuate.

Prior to this, they had drilled a deep well close to 1,500 meters deep and planted two tons of TNT-equivalent explosives in the deep well.

Their goal was to test the actual effect of the project that had already been laid out.

"We've completed the evacuation and can start testing."

The voice of the staff of the blasting team came from the walkie-talkie, Zheng Jiuyuan took a deep breath and said:

"Start testing!"

"Roger, start testing."

Ten seconds later, the explosives ignited and exploded.

A dull sound came from a distance, but in reality, it was the waves under your feet that reached faster than the sound.

Two tons of equivalent explosives may sound terrible, but when buried at a depth of 1,500 meters, it can only cause a slight shock.

If Zheng Jiuyuan wants to describe it, it is probably equivalent to covering the dog food bowl on the cannon during the New Year, and then stepping on it.

Relying on his own feelings alone, he can't tell whether the project is effective or not, but the data doesn't lie.

According to the sensor information compiled by the computer in the command center, the strength of this wave has weakened by at least 90% after crossing the project!

Seeing this result, an indescribable relief appeared on Zheng Jiuyuan's face.

He looked at Zhong Jian on the side and said:

"It should be fine."

"Next, it's next month."
