The two professors who passed through the big scene were relatively speechless, and the silence lasted for more than ten minutes. In these short ten minutes, the two of them had a lot of thoughts, but they meant different things.

Zhang Tianlin felt sad for himself, and his hard work to train the two successors was in vain, and he could only blame himself for being unladylike. Adolf's arrest, the "cautious faction" lost a general, and, more problematicly, how to carry out the voyage exploration plan, you can't go into battle yourself, right?

He needed to find a new candidate, and the well-known professors of the Academy of Astronautics appeared in his mind one by one......

Zhou Ran's thinking is very simple, which is basically the same as Liu Xiangshan's statement: astronautics has lost an excellent professor.

Truth be told, Adolf could do such a thing, he couldn't believe it anyway. In his understanding, although Adolf has a fiery temper and a simple mind, he is still loyal, and his attitude towards scientific research is also very sincere, and he is really engaged in research.

"Dean, what about the new exploration plan, do you have a clue?"

Zhang Tianlin shook his head slowly: "Alas, I'm worried about this matter, just now I have roughly pondered the well-known professors of the Aerospace Academy, either because they are not experienced enough, or they are too old." ”

Zhou Ran could feel Zhang Tianlin's helplessness and powerlessness, the "volunteer experiment" was enough for him to worry about, and now that there was such a thing, there was really no more energy to deal with it.

In fact, Zhou Ran has an idea for the exploration plan, but there are still shortcomings. After much thought, he said what he thought.

Zhang Tianlin was indeed a little surprised after hearing this, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not a bad solution, at least in the current situation, or it could be said to be a good way.

"I just don't know if Zeng Shuo will agree?" Zhou Ran said worriedly that even he felt that it was impossible to achieve.

"Hehe," Zhang Tianlin looked relaxed, "This matter is not with him, but with that old fellow Williams." ”

Zhou Ran understood after a little thought: "Yes, why didn't I expect that Zeng Shuo naturally listened to him." But ......"

Zhang Tianlin was well aware of his concerns, and if it had been the past, Williams would not have agreed to join forces with them. But now the situation is different, Williams is in a quagmire, the "Lightspeed" has put him in an extremely passive position, and now he is too busy to deal with the council, let alone start a new battle with the "cautious faction".

"Rest assured, he will agree and thank us." Zhang Tianlin said confidently.

"Haha, Lao Zhang, your opinion is too good, I completely agree!"

There was hearty laughter from Williams' office, and it was a laugh that had not been heard in a long time. This is not just laughter, it seems to contain a bit of pride: Zhang Tianlin also took the initiative to bow his head.

Due to the results of the investigation of the "Lightspeed" incident, the chairman of the government was very dissatisfied with the Military Yuan, and instructed the council to urge Williams to give a perfect answer as soon as possible.

What is the "perfect" answer?

Williams is not sure, but one thing is certain, and that is that the "cautious" are gaining weight in the coalition government. While he was in the mire, Zhang Tianlin's "volunteer experiment" was also launched, and it was said to have gone very smoothly, and the chairman of the government was also very satisfied.

Even a fool can feel the wind change, and he Williams is no exception, and he needs to find a balance now......

At the critical moment, the opportunity arose, and without warning, Adolf was arrested, the evidence was conclusive, and the death sentence was suspended.

At first, Williams did not perceive this as an opportunity, but simply thought that the "cautious faction" had been hit hard and could temporarily attract the attention of a part of the coalition government. He was well aware that it was only temporary, because the "volunteer experiment" went well.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Tianlin proposed an exploration plan to investigate the "Speed of Light", and the person in charge was Adolf. Now Adolf is arrested and imprisoned, and there is no suitable person in charge - the plan is stranded.

Zhang Tianlin did not give up, and thought of Zeng Shuo, the person in charge of the "Speed of Light", and proposed that he be fully responsible for the exploration plan and investigate what it had experienced. Moreover, he was sure that Zeng Shuo would definitely agree.

"For now, I also think Zeng Shuo is the most suitable candidate." Williams has a lot of praise for Zeng Shuo, and agrees with this proposal from the bottom of his heart, "He must have technology and skill, ability and ability, and he wants to investigate the ins and outs of this matter." ”

"Then it's decided." Zhang Tianlin said happily, "However, do you have to listen to his own opinion?" ”

Williams wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, it would be better to listen to it in this case, so he dialed the lab.

After five minutes, Zeng Shuo hurried over, and he was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Tianlin.

"What?" Zeng Shuo was first surprised, "Let me be the person in charge of this exploration plan?" I'm afraid I still have ...... qualifications."

"It's not enough for you," Williams said, not to hear the praise, "but your experience and your mind make you up to the task." ”

"The two deans," Zeng Shuo was a little flattered, "I think there are many candidates in the Aerospace Academy who are more qualified than me for this task......"

"Who?"

"Professor Adolf, for example." Zeng Shuo blurted out, "I have studied his writings and deeds, and he is the best choice." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Tianlin briefly recounted Adolf's situation.

"This—that's incredible." Zeng Shuo was amazed and said no more.

"So, what is your answer?"

Zhang Tianlin asked Zeng Shuo, he knew that this sentence was redundant, but he just wanted to express the minimum respect.

As expected, Zeng Shuo looked at Williams hesitantly, and after receiving an affirmative signal, he said in a deep voice: "I agree, and I am grateful to the two deans for entrusting them with important responsibilities." Actually, that's what I've always wanted to do. ”

After some deliberation between Williams and Zhang Tianlin, it was decided to carry out this plan in the Space Academy, because according to the current situation, the Military Academy is obviously not suitable for any more action, and the Council will not give enough time for Williams to continue the investigation.

"What are you going to do on the council?" Zhang Tianlin asked inadvertently, looking very casual.

Williams didn't care, and said lightly: "Find a way to drag it out, I hope the exploration plan can be fruitful." He smiled wryly.

"What happened to the four astronauts?"

"Hot potato ......"

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Williams pretended not to understand his question.

"Hehe," Zhang Tianlin smiled, "Now it's just the two of us, you don't have to hide it." ”

"Hey, I can't hide it from you." Williams bared a row of neat white teeth, "The council is clear......" and made a chopping gesture.

Zhang Tianlin gasped and asked lightly, "Are they abnormal?" ”

"No, that's why it's so difficult. Do you have any great ideas? ”

Zhang Tianlin shook his head, he really had no choice. Even if there were, I probably wouldn't say it, because there are no eternal friends, only eternal opponents.

The "expansionists" are the latter, and so is Williams.

"Whatever, let's drag it out first."
