Liu Hanyang successfully found Zhou Yun's home through a friend who was Zhou Yun's mentor during her graduate school years.
Zhou Yun's home is located on the edge of the city, close to a small airport. There is no hustle and bustle of a big city, only the roar of planes taking off and landing...
As soon as he stepped into this area, the roar made Liu Hanyang extremely uncomfortable, but after he got used to it, he almost didn't notice the rising and falling planes.
When he was about to enter the community, he vaguely felt that a person in black clothes was following him. He stopped, turned around and looked back, only to see the person quickly hiding behind a big tree.
He decided not to enter the community first to see what the man in black was trying to do. He walked towards the main street...
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw him following him.
After walking aimlessly like this for about 10 minutes, Liu Hanyang slowly slowed down his pace. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, and the man in black behind him couldn't avoid it and was exposed in front of him.
He looked at him silently. He turned around and turned his head away, deliberately staring at a plane high in the sky that was about to land.
He turned around and walked towards the stalker. Instead of running away, he pretended to make a phone call...
Liu Hanyang noticed that this was an Oriental face, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a straight black windbreaker and a black top hat.
Despite this, he could still see his muscular figure. When he walked past the stalker, a terrible thought popped into his mind: Could it be a killer?
Thinking of this, a chill rose from behind, but he couldn't find a reason why he was being chased, so his instinctive reaction made him speed up his pace.
Fortunately, the man in black did not continue to follow.
Liu Hanyang strode into Zhou Yun's community.
As soon as he entered the community, another person wearing the same attire appeared at the door of the community. He stared at his back coldly, with a secret smile on his lips.
The community where Zhou Yun lives is a series of low-rise buildings, which was indeed rare in the era when high-rise buildings were prevalent.
All buildings are distributed along an artificial lake in the center of the community, and are well-proportioned. The lake is quiet and peaceful, and the lake is surrounded by winding and dense tree-lined paths.
The lake reflects the building, and the building is hidden in the shade, which makes it feel like a paradise.
Liu Hanyang knocked on the door of Zhou Yun's house on the third floor. The door opened and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of him.
The woman has a haggard face and tired eyes. A few fine lines on her fair face extend to the corners of her eyes. A few strands of white hair on the top of her head are clearly visible on the thick black hair.
Based on intuition, he guessed that the woman must be Zhou Yun's mother.
"I'm looking for Zhou Yun." Liu Hanyang's voice was very thin.
The woman looked him up and down, nodded slightly to him, then bowed and took a step back.
Entering the living room, a photo of Colonel Zhou Hengxiang in naval uniform came into his eyes. In the photo, Captain Zhou was heroic and majestic. He stood upright, with the majestic guided missile destroyer "Nanchuan" behind him.
He sat on the sofa in the living room and she poured a glass of water. He took a polite sip and looked at the picture of the captain on the wall. Her eyes also looked at the picture she looked at every day.
She stared for a long time, her eyes full of longing and sadness...
"I am Liu Hanyang from the Quantum Research Institute. I would like to find Zhou Yun to learn about Captain Zhou."
At the mention of Captain Zhou, she slowly moved her eyes away from the photo. He knew that his opening statement was too direct, but he really couldn't bear to disturb her for a long time. He paused and said, "It's work. need."
"Zhou Yun is the pilot of the first batch of space transport vehicles. The training intensity recently has been very high. She should still be training." Her voice was small and soft.
When it comes to space transport vehicles, Liu Hanyang thinks of the abundant helium-3 on the moon and the controllable nuclear fusion technology that major countries in the world are sparing no effort to develop.
With the development of quantum technology, the world's major powers have made certain progress in controllable nuclear fusion technology. Although it is only a technological advancement at the laboratory level, this clean and almost unlimited energy still has a lot of room for improvement.
The technical principle of controllable nuclear fusion starts from the back-end link of the chain reaction, that is, from the fusion of helium-3 to helium-4. Since this link does not release strong neutrons and gamma rays, it is much faster than traditional fusion. The reaction is relatively much cleaner, more efficient and safer.
In the context of the global transition from fossil energy to recycled clean energy, controllable nuclear fusion technology is considered to be the industrial clarion call for mankind to march into outer space.
Helium-3 is the ideal raw material for controllable nuclear fusion and can be called the industrial blood of the new era. However, helium-3 reserves on the earth are very rare, with proven reserves of less than 500 kilograms.
As a result, countries around the world have turned their attention to the moon, which is very close to the earth.
According to incomplete statistics, the lunar helium-3 resource reserves are nearly 1.5 million times the total amount of the earth, and can be continuously used by humans for up to 10,000 years.
In order to mine helium-3 on the moon, space transport vehicles between the earth and the moon have become the top priority for major technological breakthroughs.
Advanced countries represented by countries M and Z have also launched fierce competition in space technology. Countries R, E, D and other countries in the second echelon have followed closely. As a result, a group of advanced Space aerospace transport vehicles have been successfully developed one after another.
Zhou Yun's mother said that the development of space transport vehicles began under this background. With the gradual breakthrough of technical barriers, the selection and training of the first batch of space transport vehicle pilots have also begun. As the heavy bomber-H Ace pilot, Zhou Yun is one of them.
"Where is the training place?" Liu Hanyang asked.
She shook her head.
"Then when can she come back?"
"We rarely see each other a few times a year."
Zhou Yun's mother's words indicated that it was time for Liu Hanyang to leave. Zhou Yun's mother was originally a suitable candidate, but he really couldn't bear to bring back her painful memories, so he gave up the idea.
Out of his good impression and curiosity about Zhou Yun, he decided to make a small request.
"Can I visit Zhou Yun's...bedroom?" Liu Hanyang smiled gently, "It's also required by work. Of course, you can refuse."
Zhou Yun's mother didn't speak. She stood up and walked to Zhou Yun's bedroom, and he followed behind.
The bedroom was so clean and tidy that he could hardly imagine it. The quilts were folded into a square shape, and toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shampoo were neatly placed, and they were all arranged in one direction.
There were no stains on the surrounding white walls, as clean as if they had just been painted. A huge photo of Heavy Bomb-H hung above the bed.
His eyes began to glance towards the writing table. Two photos framed by birch wood frames on the table caught his attention. The first one was a photo of Zhou Yun and her father. One of the father and daughter were wearing a navy uniform, and the other was wearing a navy uniform. Wearing Air Force uniforms, the two stood upright, smiling and looking forward.
Another photo surprised Liu Hanyang. It was actually a photo of Zhou Yun and Professor Li Mosen, together with a young man wearing glasses. The young man had a strong build, a fair and handsome appearance and thick lenses.
Intuitively, he felt that he should be engaged in scientific research.
Liu Hanyang felt that it was time to leave. He really didn't want to continue disturbing this woman who was in grief. Out of sympathy for her and respect for Colonel Zhou Hengxiang, he had to leave.
Walking on a less lively street, Liu Hanyang was about to call Professor Li Mosen, hoping to contact Zhou Yun through him.
He dialed the number as he walked...
Suddenly, the phone rang, and an unfamiliar number called in. Before he could speak, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dr. Liu, you are being followed!"
