While the "cautious faction" secretly prepared the volunteer experiment, the "expansionists" did not sit idly by, and under the leadership of Williams, the research of the "speed ship" finally made significant progress.

After countless studies and experiments, the elites of the Military Academy finally broke through the bottleneck and successfully developed a spacecraft that flew at a speed close to the speed of light, which was named "Speed of Light".

What's even more celebrated is that the spacecraft's test flight application has been approved by the coalition government, and the "Lightspeed" will travel to space in a week!

For the "expansionists", this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

Although the "expansionists" lost Ye Guangli, it did not affect the overall layout of Williams, which also shows the far-sightedness of this military hawk. Ye Guangli can be regarded as Williams' right-hand man, but he is definitely not indispensable, and he has been behind for a long time.

Williams used Ye's skills and experience to train a new generation of talent at the Military Academy — not at the Space Academy. In the midst of half-light and half-concealment, he studied aerospace technology, which originally belonged to the scope of the Aerospace Institute.

Even if Zhang Tianlin is dissatisfied, it is not a problem, because the Military Academy has a more sufficient reason, they need the most advanced aerospace technology to explore outer space.

For Ye Guangli's death, Williams just felt sorry, nothing more.

Among the many new generation of talents, there is a young man named Zeng Shuo, who is already fully capable of taking over Ye Guangli's work. Before following Ye Guangli, Zeng Shuo was already outstanding, and he was also Williams's more important junior.

Of course, it was Williams who really obeyed Zeng Shuo's words.

……

"Xiao Zeng, I've wronged you all these years." Williams said with a smile.

Zeng Shuo didn't react for a while, how could the dean, who was usually serious, change his appearance.

"No, Dean."

"Huai Cai is not met." Williams said.

Zeng Shuo's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "Dean said that it was my honor, it was my honor to follow you!" ”

As he spoke, he looked away, trying to hide what he was really thinking.

"Tempering is very important for a person, not only physically, but more importantly mentally." "When that grind reaches saturation, it means that the person can be on his own," Williams said. ”

"Dean, what do you mean by that?"

Zeng Shuo asked suspiciously, his heartbeat also accelerated, and he had a hunch that something unusual would happen.

"Ye Guangli is an excellent professor of astronautics, and what he learned played a decisive role in the birth of the 'Speed of Light'." Williams said calmly, "Among you juniors, many of you are very good, and I only let you follow him to do research, don't you understand the deep meaning?" ”

After Williams finished speaking, he looked at Zeng Shuo, as if he wanted to see him through.

Zeng Shuo was flustered in his heart, quickly forced himself to calm down, and then put aside the doubts just now, and probably understood what was going on.

"Am I going to be reused?" Zeng Shuo couldn't help but think.

Williams watched Zeng Shuo's expression change, and seemed to have insight into his inner thoughts.

"You guessed it right." Williams said calmly, "The reason why you follow Ye Guangli is to hone your mind and perseverance. You were specifically chosen by me personally, do you know what that means? ”

For everything that happened in front of him, Zeng Shuo only felt that it was too sudden.

"In the future, you, Zeng Shuo, will be the person in charge of the 'Lightspeed' project."

"What did you say!" Zeng Shuo stood up excitedly, unable to believe his ears.

"That's right, you just heard that."

"Dean, you, I'm ......"

"How?" Williams asked rhetorically, "Unwilling?" ”

"No, no, no, I do!" He said hurriedly, and a wave of ecstasy hit.

……

Next, Williams said a lot, but Zeng Shuo was so carried away by the joy that he didn't pay attention to what he said, and he didn't even remember what he said.

After the conversation, Zeng Shuo only remembered two key points: one is that the "cautious faction" will always be a hostile camp, and the other is to prepare for the launch of the "Speed of Light".

Ye Guangli was ruthlessly replaced, this is something that will happen.

Perhaps, this is a simple matter, but it illustrates a truth: when the times abandon a person, it is often inadvertently, and for the rolling forward history, the person is insignificant after all.

Ye Guangli never imagined that when he was about to go down in history, he closed his eyes forever. With his own regrets, as well as his regrets for his son Ye Dongming, he was completely annihilated under the wheel of history.

Zeng Shuo is a smart person, not only in the part he was born with, but also in the aspect of acquired learning. He has been working under Ye Guangli for nearly a decade and has been unknown, but it does not mean that he has done nothing.

Outstanding among his colleagues, but he has never been reused, but he has never complained, and he is still unknown.

That's the smart side of him – he's good at forbearance.

As for why this is so, there may be no way to know, because it has been buried under the three-foot loess with Ye Guangli forever......

Williams is definitely an old fox, and he naturally has his purpose in placing Zeng Shuo next to Ye Guangli.

He was completely clear about Zeng Shuo's situation. But he didn't rush to intervene, but chose to respect Ye Guangli's arrangement, which is also a reflection of his cleverness.

In terms of research, he never restricted Ye Guangli, but he had only one request: "Lead these young people to break through the 'Speed of Light' and pass on your knowledge to them without reservation." ”

Ye Guangli readily agreed, and in fact he did the same, which surprised Williams.

When a person has endured for ten years and has done nothing, and suddenly one day, an opportunity arises, and all the spotlight is on him for a while, how will he react? What choices will be made?

I'm afraid most people are already ecstatic, with no one in sight, and even lost themselves.

However, Zeng Shuo did not, and after a short period of excitement, he still maintained his former calmness and humility. It's just that in this calmness and humility, I have a little more confidence.

Enterprising spirit should be Zeng Shuo's strongest backing, and it is also the pursuit that he will not fail in his heart.

This is probably Ye Guangli's pursuit!

In addition to these, loyalty is also an important quality of Zeng Shuo. At this point, Williams sees people very accurately.

No matter when, the person Zeng Shuo is most grateful to is Williams.

Therefore, when Williams announced that he would succeed Ye Guangli to complete the "Speed of Light" project, in addition to excitement, it was a heart of gratitude to the hawkish dean.

At that time, he had already made up his mind to break through the bottleneck and complete the development of the "Speed of Light" spacecraft.

After countless simulation experiments, the data of the "Speed of Light" operation was finally normal, and Zeng Shuo couldn't wait to report this major breakthrough to Williams.
