Chapter 377: It's You Again?
After the discussion, Chen Nian completed his analysis of the technical documentation of the TLS-1000 laser device as planned, he thought that this thing would not be too difficult, after all, the structure of all lasers is basically the same, and the key difficulties should be concentrated on a few core components.
But unexpectedly, when the information was poured into his brain, he was simply shocked by the sophistication and complexity of this instrument.
Light is a fiber-optic binding device, and if it is to be written into a document, even the most brief narrative is conservatively estimated to be about 100 pages
I can't help it, I can only take the time to grind slowly.
So in the next few days, in addition to the routine study and discussion with the velvet group, Chen Nian almost completely entered a closed state, focusing on his laser.
Once again, his life has plateaued, but the dark tide surrounding him has never stopped.
Changan.
Bloomberg sat in his office, his eyes glued to the wall of task diagrams.
In the past period, he has sorted out the connection between all the major breakthrough projects in Huaxia in recent years and the university of Western Technology.
The situation was a little more complicated than he thought, in addition to the professor named Chen Guo who was locked at the beginning, he found out the list of as many as 12 "risk personnel".
These people are spread across a wide range of fields, and the relationships involved in the projects are complex, and it is not easy to determine the complete course of action one by one.
Moreover, after rising to a certain level, the location and footprint of these personnel are classified information, and there is very little data that can be found through civilian vehicles.
He originally wanted to determine the next breakthrough directly through the simplest way of "finding intersections", but after looking around, he realized that there was no reliable intersection between these people.
Maybe at some point, two out of 12 people will be in the same place, but after spending a lot of effort to trace the roots, it will be found that they are just participating in the same tour group during the holidays, and even the photos are posted on public platforms, and they have nothing to do with any academic content at all.
In this case, Bloomberg is also gradually losing patience.
He refocused his attention on Chen Guo, who was discovered by his intuition, and followed his "resume" step by step, trying to find out the key nodes that he had missed.
In 2003, Chen Guo was still teaching at Western University of Technology.
Then, between 2003 and 2004, his teaching hours decreased dramatically.
The official explanation for this change is that he participated in theoretical research on the aerodynamic design of the J-22 project, so he traveled frequently in Liaoning.
This is consistent with the trajectory information found by Bloomberg-ββ in fact, he also knows that since it has been publicly reported as an advanced case, there is no official reason to lie about this matter.
But strangely, after the J-22 program ended, Chen Guo's teaching hours did not resume.
He seems to have just finished one project and then moved on to another.
J-20οΌ
There is a possibility.
After all, according to his investigation, the lift fan project involved in the J-20 project came from a Chinese scientist who returned from the United States, and this person and Chen Guo used to be classmates.
After several years of silence, the other side suddenly and resolutely chose to return to China, and Huaxia exchanged the crew members with reconnaissance planes and electronic jamming planes, which were extremely heavy at that time, and there must have been some "acquaintances" to push them.
Otherwise, in that tense situation, which can be said to be dangerous, it is impossible for the other side to risk their own lives.
Therefore, Bloomberg can basically determine that Chen Guo is involved in the J-20 project.
It is even possible that he was one of the organizers of this project - at least, he should be close to the real organizers.
But at this point, Bloomberg still can't pinpoint the specifics of the organization.
He could only keep looking.
Since the end of the J-20 program, Chen Guo's teaching hours have decreased further, and he seems to have been transferred from his teaching position to focus on the research and development of new equipment.
But the problem is that all the subsequent large-scale projects basically do not require his participation.
The evolution of UAVs is based on the existing technical foundation of the J-20 and J-22, and the H-20, a large aircraft and fighter jet, can almost be said to be two paths, and within the possible project cycle of the H-20, Chen Guoji's family has a record of leaving Chang'an many times.
To be precise, this is a record of family visits and short-term vacations.
If he really belongs to the core personnel of the H-20 project, then he should definitely not leave Chang'an at such a critical time.
But the question is, if he's not at the heart of the project, what is he doing?
No, he's crossing the border to do the project of the 001 aircraft carrier, right?
It's just a fantasy.
No matter how good a genius in this world is, it is impossible for him to play a role in two completely different directions at the same time, this is an unbreakable objective law.
Bloomberg was once again confused, and the long reasoning seemed to be back to square one at this moment.
He let out a long sigh and sat back down on the couch helplessly.
"The other party's secrecy work is very good, which shows that there are only two possible outcomes."
"Or, the legendary organization doesn't exist at all, they're just lucky enough to have a breakthrough in all areas."
"Or, or the level of secrecy in this organization is higher than we thought, and we simply don't know where to start."
Hearing his words, the assistant opposite shook his head and replied with some amusement:
"You seem to be saying a nonsense that can never be wrong."
"But it's the way it isβit's, don't you think we're doing what we're doing is just a waste of time?"
"What if you find this organization? Are we going to clean up the members of the organization one by one? Or are we going to blow up their headquarters? β
"Maybe they'll do that."
The assistant said meaningfully.
"Don't make a fuss, unless they're really crazy."
Bloomberg rolled his eyes, then pulled the conversation back to the latest findings.
"Chen Guo. There must be something wrong with this person, we just can't find it. β
"I'm wondering, can we apply for higher authority and dig down his relationships one more level?"
"Maybe we're just a thin line away from the truth, maybe all we're missing is another name."
"I can't do it."
The assistant shook his head and replied:
"We've activated almost all of the upper relationships, and even some people β you know, they're so high that we're beyond the limits of what we can touch."
"But there is a limit to the amount of information that can be provided by such a person."
"It's impossible to solve the problem with a simple way, so we can only slowly explore."
"Perhaps, we can start with the people around him? I mean, he's always in contact with other people other than his family, who are under protection. β
"Even an ordinary shopkeeper may be able to give us unexpected clues."
"Then we're going to have to spend more time. It's dangerous for us. β
Bloomberg frowned and continued:
"We've been targeted, and the only reason why Ling and I are still sitting here safely is because they haven't got enough evidence yet."
"Every second that I continue to stay is an unnecessary risk for me."
"You know, some of our 'friends' have begun to lose patience and are planning to use more radical methods."
"Even if we don't have problems ourselves, they could drag us into the water."
The assistant nodded silently.
He knew that this was indeed the case.
Although the tactics have not yet progressed to the level of violence and illegality, just two days ago, there were already people who were ready to act and were arrested.
As the task continues and the pressure continues to grow, things like this will only get more and more common.
But if you give up
"Are you willing?"
Bloomberg shook his head and replied:
"It's not transformed by my personal will-ββ well, I'll try one last time."
"Let's start investigating, starting with my acquaintances."
Two hours later, bangs in the office.
So you really don't have an impression of this person anymore?"
Bloomberg asked, frowning.
The bangs on the opposite side had a puzzled expression on his face, and replied:
"Why should I be impressed? You also said that it was seven years ago. β
"My friend, do you know what 7 years is? At that time, my office didn't even exist, and I was just a small clerk running a business. β
"At that time, I had to meet at least ten strangers a day and maintain relationships with dozens of clients."
"Yes, what you are talking about, Professor Chen Guo, he does look like an important customer, but I have contacted no less than 100 people for such an important customer."
"Actually, I want to say that it would be weird if I still remember him."
"But you remember your work very well."
"It's just a vague memory."
Bangs spread his hands, and his eyes did not change at all.
Just a few minutes earlier, Bloomberg had found himself again, and this time he had come for the simple purpose of asking someone.
Chen Guo, this person who spent a lot of time approaching bangs, but in the end returned in vain, how could he not be impressed?
He even remembered that the first time he met him was outside his office.
A student happened to go to him to hand in his homework, what was that student's name?
It's really not impressive.
However, the reason why he didn't tell the truth was because the moment Bloomberg walked into this office, he already sensed that something was wrong.
During this time, their demand for "high-end talents" seems to be a little too strong.
And just last time, he had just helped Bloomberg get in touch with the kind of talent they needed for "advanced energy materials", and Huaxia made public information about metallic hydrogen.
This made him understand that Bloomberg's motives were definitely not as pure as he claimed.
They don't want people, they want information.
And such a thing is generally called stealing.
Although Liu Hai is greedy for money, he also knows that some money is not something he can take.
On top of conventional means, he has no guilt about throwing some talents and doing some pure intermediary business, after all, it is someone else's own choice.
But what to do?
This thing is treason, not to mention whether he can live if he is really caught, just this crime is enough to shame his ancestors and grandchildren for more than ten generations.
Therefore, after receiving the money, he almost immediately severed his relationship with Bloomberg, and even reported Bloomberg anonymously to the official, but he has not received a reply for the time being.
In this case, Bloomberg wants to continue to trick him into doing the same thing?
He's not stupid enough to be that level.
But even if he behaves like this, Bloomberg on the other side doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"I still hope you'll do me a favor or at least think about it."
"This man is very important to us, he is a big business, if we can negotiate it, we will definitely pay you no less."
"We didn't even need much information-ββ his hobbies, his relationships, what he was doing, where he was going to have the best chance of meeting him. In short, we will pay for all the useful information that can be linked to him. β
Bloomberg deliberately disguised his sincerity, as if he really intended to use this information to favor Chen Guo and thus poach him to his employer.
But in fact, he asked for this information just to further screen out useful breakthroughs and continue to improve Chen Guo's social relations, so as to complete his "interpretation".
But the bangs on the opposite side were extremely firm.
"Bloomberg, I'm afraid you're really looking for the wrong person this time."
"To be honest, I don't know anything about this person, and my previous information has long been lost."
"If you really want to, you might as well go straight to Senas, they may still have KOC information in their database."
"We've already looked for it."
Bloomberg scrutinized Bangs' eyes, as if to confirm that he wasn't lying.
It lasted for several seconds before he finally chose to give up.
"Okay. Then this money has to be earned by others. β
"Goodbye, my friend."
With that, Bloomberg got up and left.
Bangs didn't send him, but as soon as he walked out of sight, he picked up the phone and broadcast the number he had memorized.
12399γ
"Hello, I want to report the lead"
On the other side, Bloomberg has returned to the car waiting in the distance.
As soon as he closed the car door, he immediately said to his assistant:
"Good luck, there's something wrong with this bang!"
"He may know something about Chen Guo, but he's very vigilant!"
"Still, I must have a way to get him to speak."
