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

In Chen Nian's expectation, he planned to complete the project within 10 to 15 years, and use this epoch-making equipment to overtake in corners and establish China's strategic delivery capabilities.

This project is bound to be huge, cumbersome, and difficult, but only by completing this project in a down-to-earth manner will China be able to truly take a step forward and consider issues related to "fighting for hegemony."

——

No, this statement is not accurate.

As we all know, we will never strive for hegemony in the past, present or future, nor will we make any preparations for it.

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

In this process, it is actually quite reasonable for us to need the help of some weapons and equipment to fight against those saboteurs with bad intentions, right?

Chen Nian didn't know whether others thought it was reasonable, but he himself thought it was reasonable.

All in all, after Chen Nian proposed this concept, higher-level organizations, including the military, immediately started discussions and finally determined that Chen Nian's inference was accurate and must be realized objectively.

Therefore, the project was immediately confirmed.

Led by the National Space Administration and coordinated by several aerospace departments, resources and manpower are all optimally allocated. The goal is to lay the foundation for the project in the shortest possible time.

The specific technical implementation method will be left to Xinghuo and Chen Nian to solve it.

Chen Nian is also not in a hurry about this.

Aerospace is inherently a complex system engineering, not to mention that this is an aerospace project that has never been done before in human history.

It requires the integration of technological breakthroughs in all aspects, including but not limited to materials, fuels, spacecraft design, engines and power systems. Of course, there is also energy.

Therefore, taking one step at a time and handling the pre-processing technology in a down-to-earth manner is the wisest solution.

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

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

The latter thought that Chen Nian wanted to discuss the allocation of project resources with him, so he asked Chen Nian to "talk in person", but Chen Nian stopped him and said:

"No, Professor Chen, I don't want to tell you about the Nantianmen project."

"I just want to ask, how is the communication going on with Isaac on the metallic hydrogen project now?"

Upon hearing Chen Nian's question, Chen Guo immediately replied:

"Basically there is no problem. According to the intelligence from the past few days, Isaac has agreed to participate in the metallic hydrogen research and development project as a consultant."

"At present, his cooperation is relatively high - however, there is one thing that is not in line with our expectations."

"Which point?"

Chen Nian answered and asked.

"You would never expect it. To be honest, I didn't expect it either."

"He wants to become a Chinese citizen."

"????Are you kidding? Is he crazy?"

Chen Nian was shocked. Chen Guo's answer could no longer be said to be a "surprise" for him.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Nian even felt that his three views were about to be subverted.

Is Isaac going to become a Chinese citizen?

Although he is not a top strategic researcher there, no matter from which angle you look at it, he is still a respectable figure.

He is not excluded from academic studies at all. Even if he does not get much support in the short term because the subject is relatively advanced, he can still live well by relying on his other subsidiary subjects.

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

This kind of person wants to become a Chinese citizen?

Noticing Chen Nian's foreboding, Chen Guo replied with some humor:

"Yes, that's why I said you would never expect it."

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

"However, the comrades in the intelligence department analyzed it in detail. The reason why he had such an idea this time is actually quite convincing."

"The root of this matter still lies in the previous 055 project."

"Project 055? How does this have anything to do with it?"

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 between them.

"A coincidence with a very small probability. As you know, the Zumwalt project is in competition with the 055 project."

"Then, the Zumwalt project was unfinished, and the relevant scientific researchers and organizers were not well dealt with."

"Among them, the leader of the project is named Jay. After many negotiations with the US officials, he must have been completely disappointed with them."

"Some time ago, he came to China and learned about some things on our side through relationships with several research institutes."

"So he asked for citizenship first? Isaac is his friend?"

"That's not true. He didn't ask for citizenship. After all, he is an extremely pure American."

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

"He talked to Isaac about our affairs and passed on his own judgment to Isaac."

"That is, China will definitely be the core of the world's technological development in the future. Instead of staying in the United States, Isaac would rather seek development in China."

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

"Understood"

Chen Nian nodded dumbfounded.

Good guy, I really don’t know Isaac well enough.

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.

The buff of No Country is full.

No wonder he would seek to immigrate to China. Anyway, for him, scientific research is the same wherever he goes. With a few patents in the past, his material life does not have any issues to consider at all, so he might as well take a chance.

Fight, bet on a chance to leave a name in history.

After a pause, Chen Nian continued to ask:

"Did he make any conditions?"

"I mentioned it, mainly academic conditions, such as requiring full involvement in the project, such as requiring 100% right to know, etc."

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

"Well, let's continue talking. But there's no need to compromise too much."

"To be honest, I don't need him that much - he is just my first frame of reference. It's better to have him. If he doesn't, it won't affect the overall situation."

"Understood, we expect the results to be available within one to two weeks, and we will notify you then."

"no problem."

Things have made significant progress, which is gratifying in any case - even if this progress is a bit nonsensical.

He chatted casually with Chen Guo for a few words, and was about to hang up the phone when Chen Guo on the other end suddenly said:

"The project over there is basically ready."

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

"They are now considering conducting field tests. I will notify you as soon as the results are available."

"good."

Chen Nian answered briefly, seemingly not caring.

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

He has been following the progress of the preparations.

He also knew that in addition to pure technical means, the official had also arranged a series of back-up measures.

Theoretically, if the crisis is "predicted" and adequate preparations have been made, the damage should be minimized.

However, Chen Nian still felt uneasy.

Maybe, you have to wait until that day passes before you can truly feel relieved.

the other side.
