Four hours later, Williams returned to the Military Academy, but he didn't expect Zeng Shuo to still be in the office, worrying about this matter. When he saw Zeng Shuo's anxious appearance, Williams was moved.

"Dean, you're back! But it worries us badly. ”

This is Zeng Shuo's heartfelt words, not only out of concern for him, but also a responsibility in his heart. If something happens to Williams at this time, then the "Trail Blazer" spacecraft will inevitably be affected, or even shelved.

"Hehe, don't worry."

"Why did Captain Liu take you away like this? It's a bit too much......"

Williams understood what he meant, so he said, "This matter was a misunderstanding, and now the misunderstanding has been solved, and it's all right." ”

"That's good."

When Zeng Shuo left, Williams spent the night thinking in the office, and for the first time in a long time, he had stayed up all night......

In view of the successful flight of the "Trailblazer", the Military Academy began mass production of light-speed spacecraft, which is also the requirement of the Council, if the airspace can be controlled earlier, as well as outer space, the possibility of human survival in interstellar warfare is greater.

After this test flight, Williams flew several more times, each time bringing back important information from outer space and resupplying the Martian settlement base several times. Since then, more and more lightspeed warships have been developed, some for military combat, some for air transport, and so on.

Of course, due to the contribution of the Military Academy in the field of aviation, it is also gradually recognized by the Council.

In this situation, Zhang Tianlin was powerless, because he was in the council, he did not have more energy to pay attention to the affairs of the aerospace institute, coupled with Adolf's imprisonment, the aerospace academy lacked a talent like Zeng Shuo.

However, even so, the position of the "cautious faction" cannot be shaken, because "genetic characterization" has been a great success, and will eventually realize the genetic characterization of the whole people.

Since the UFO disappeared in the alien spacecraft, no trace has been traced, and the coalition government believes that it is responsible for the abnormal brain waves of people in the interior. Therefore, the coalition government has not given up on tracking, and must find this UFO.

Even at a time when humanity is facing a crisis, what worries Zhang Tianlin is not the invasion of aliens, but the rise of "expansionists". Because of his ego belief that in a short time, aliens will not appear. However, spurred on, or rather encouraged, by this crisis, more and more people will think about the way out for humanity, that is, we cannot sit idly by.

At that time, more people will realize that only by vigorously exploring outer space and establishing more extraterrestrial bases can we detect alien crises earlier. Moreover, the alien base can be used both as a barrier to the Earth and as a last resort.

Zhang Tianlin is keenly aware that this day may come soon, so what he wants to do is not to suppress the "expansionists", but to give more support. This is one of the reasons why he ignored the previous rumors.

Now Zhang Tianlin has changed a lot, but there is one point of view that has not changed so far - genetic modification. He firmly believes that regardless of whether aliens invade the earth or not, genetic modification is still the future of mankind. Therefore, his footsteps in this area did not stop, but let Xu Shan continue to conduct "genetic enhancement" research.

Of course, if this technology can be implemented, Zhang Tianlin's original idea is to invest in the military, apply it to soldiers, and develop a "super soldier". So, he wants to maintain a good relationship with Williams.

However, even putting aside this reason, he also recognized the fact that in the near future, the "cautious faction" and the "expansionist faction" are no longer and cannot be hostile, because in the face of external crises, human beings can only gain space for existence if they are united.

Therefore, in view of this reason, Zhang Tianlin decided to have a showdown with Williams to show his current attitude.

Williams was obviously surprised by Zhang Tianlin's arrival, there was an unpleasant incident just yesterday, and he arrived today, is it to explain something? Frankly speaking, Williams initially thought that Zhang Tianlin was behind the ghost, but then dismissed this idea.

"Director Zhang is here, and the Military Academy is shining, haha." Williams smiled and welcomed him into the office.

"Hehe, they're all old friends, there's no need for this kind of title, it's still good for Lao Zhang to hear."

Williams didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lao Zhang, you are now a big celebrity next to the chairman, a busy person on the council, how can you have time to come to me?" ”

While talking, the assistant brought two cups of good coffee, which were full of mellow aroma.

"Top-grade," Zhang Tianlin took a sip and praised, "Only you can drink such good coffee." ”

"Then I'll come back more." Williams said.

"Definitely, definitely." Zhang Tianlin said, "I heard about yesterday's incident, is there any misunderstanding? ”

Williams glanced up at him, smiled meaningfully, and didn't speak.

Zhang Tianlin understood in seconds, and said with a smile: "I'm not here today to explain anything, those rumors are nonsense, I believe you may think about this, but what I'm going to say now is to forget all about it." ”

Williams was relieved at once, and hurriedly said, "It seems that something important is going to happen." ”

This time it was Zhang Tianlin's turn to smile and say nothing, and the two of them drank their own coffee, and after a while, he said, "Congratulations, Dean Williams." ”

"Huh?"

"The successful development of light-speed spacecraft is the greatest progress in aerospace science and technology, and it will play a very important role in extraterrestrial immigration and extraterrestrial warfare in the future."

"I knew you'd take that into account too, haha." Williams said sincerely, "It's just that the coalition government is still too cautious, and we are now fully capable of exploring farther into space, so if necessary, we still need more support from your old friends!" ”

"You're right, the light-speed spacecraft is one of our big advantages," Zhang Tianlin said, "but the pressure from the coalition government is very high, and it is understandable to make such a decision, after all, it has just experienced the Antarctic incident, and there is no ......trace of the UFO so far."

Williams nodded, and instead of continuing the topic, he asked, "I heard that your love will be going on research on 'genetic enhancement', is there any progress now?" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Tianlin was obviously taken aback, there are very few people who know about this matter, who leaked it? However, he didn't have the heart to think about it now, after all, compared to the purpose of coming to the Military Academy this time, these were insignificant.

"Haha, it's still that cunning Williams!"

"Thanks for the compliment, haha."

The seemingly joking words of the two have already shown their respective attitudes, if they want to, there is nothing that cannot be shared, even if they are not, the gears of fate have tied them deeply.

Zhang Tianlin retracted his smile and said seriously: "Actually, I have been thinking about a question for a while. ”

Williams glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.

"I feel like we're making mistakes all the time."

Williams pondered the true meaning of his words and said, "A political mistake, or a conceptual error?" ”

Williams is not simple, and in one sentence it says the core problem.

"It's both," Zhang Tianlin said admiringly, "We have always believed that our own views are correct, and under this premise, it is understandable to flaunt our own grand ideals." But it is precisely because of this that we are trapped in the defense line that we have built with each other, unable to see further with our eyes, and also shackling our own minds. ”

Williams nodded thoughtfully, still making judgments.

"We can look at this problem from the perspective of a third party, and the key to solving this problem may not be a single choice question, either A or B, it is likely to be a multiple choice question." After saying this, Zhang Tianlin showed an expectant look.

Judging from the expression on Williams's face, he already understood the general purpose of Zhang Tianlin's trip, but deep in his heart, there was still a trace of doubt. This doubt has been growing for a long time, and it is not so easy to dispel. So, he's still judging.

"Actually, I feel the same way," Williams began, "and there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, just a different way of looking at things." After so many years, we have checked and balanced each other and achieved each other, and it cannot be said that it is not the arrangement of fate. ”

"That's true," Zhang Tianlin said, "just like the conservation of energy, energy will not disappear, it will only exist in another form." The dissolution of one force heralds the growth of the other, however, nothing changes for the whole concept of time. ”

"So, Dean Zhang, what is your purpose this time?" Williams finally pierced the last layer of window paper.

"Cooperation."

Zhang Tianlin just replied with two simple words, which was enough to impress Williams!

Indeed, Williams also had such thoughts, could it be that the "cautious faction" and the "expansionists" can only fight, and cannot work together? They have no personal grudges against each other, and they are all contributing to the future of humanity in their own way, even if there are personal desires in the process, which is not enough to affect this fact.

Although he thought so, he didn't have the courage to take this step. However, just today, Zhang Tianlin opened his mind to him with the mentality of an old friend, and lowered his profile for the development of mankind in order to seek cooperation between the two sides.

"I couldn't agree more!" Williams immediately stated, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is only a matter of time before the X-pedestrian invades the earth, but before that, we have a chance to reverse this situation, if there is enough time......"

"I think there's a chance," Zhang Tianlin began to get excited, "With you in charge of the Military Academy, our military strength will become stronger and stronger, and today I'm going to get an axe in this class, hehe." ”

"Haha, please."

"I think there are two major development directions for the Military Academy, one is the light-speed spaceship, and the other is a new type of weapon."

"Yes, the two of us have the same idea!"

"The Academy of Aerospace Sciences will share all resources and fully cooperate with the research of the Academy of Military Affairs. As for me, I will be working on 'genetic enhancement' at full speed, and I will first apply it to the military......"

"Super soldiers?" Williams asked.

"Yes, with the latest weapons of the 'Super Soldier', the most advanced lightspeed battleship, plus the protection of the 'Dome', I believe we have the ability to stand with the aliens!" Zhang Tianlin said passionately.

"Yes, yes!" Williams couldn't help but admire.

......

In this way, the representatives of the two hostile camps reached a reconciliation of the century in a small office in the Military Academy, and they will put aside their old suspicions and work together to contribute to the defense of mankind against alien invasion!
