"Old Lin, you are hiding something so secretly! Tell me honestly, when did you start working on this project?"

"Don't fool me by saying that the project was established recently. Looking at your results, they are new materials and were developed by Singapore Airlines. It won't be ready every three to five years, right?"

"Yeah, you're not being kind. I wonder how you can handle it so well. When such a big thing happens, you don't react at all. You are waiting for us here!"

"It's a shame that I'm still here. It seems like I'm getting old..."

...

After confirming the authenticity of the data, the attitudes of many leaders who had originally planned to launch an investigation changed.

Of course, many people still question whether the data is available, but compared with the current trend, such a small voice is actually not even a wave.

Lin Yongming looked helplessly at the people surrounding him, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

What? Am I going to tell you that all the achievements you are talking about now are actually the work of a college student?

A college student who hasn’t finished his freshman year and will be on winter vacation like everyone else in half a month?

Can you believe it?

----Even if you believe it, I can’t say it.

You know, Chen Nian's identity issue has now begun to be considered by his superiors for inclusion in the list.

Before the results come out, it's best not to give him a high profile.

Thinking of this, Lin Yongming first quietly gave Lei Gang an instruction, asking him to take down the researchers of the No. 22 project team present, explain the situation to them, and give them another round of confidentiality education.

Then, he answered:

"The preparation time for this project is indeed not short, but it is not as long as several years."

"If you have to say...good luck."

"I just happened to have found a few talents, and I've been lucky recently. I'll get whatever I want, and progress will be fast."

Seeing him look like an old god, jealous expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

What is most important these days?

Talent!

A useful person is sometimes even more important than the results of a medium-sized project!

After all, talent represents sustainable creativity and productivity. As long as he is there, he can continue to create value...

Not to mention a talented person with strong strength and good luck.

You may not see this kind of person for several years.

And Lin Yongming actually said in an understatement that "we dug a few."

The most low-key show off is nothing more than this.

Someone in the crowd immediately said:

"Mr. Lin, your aviation system can't use so many talents, right? Do you want us to help you digest it? Which group is the result of that nickel-iron alloy? Let us use it!"

The speaker was a middle-level leader of the aerospace system. Unlike others, this time he was specifically representing the 707 Institute to inspect high-temperature-resistant materials, and he had always supported Lin Yongming.

It’s not difficult to understand, asking people to do things!

However, his map is indeed a bit short. Before the discussion meeting has even started, and before the material issues have even started to be seriously discussed, he has begun to plan to poach people...

After hearing his words, others immediately began to echo.

"Yes, Old Lin, lend us some, we are short of people too."

"Old Lin, I don't want you to give it now. When Project 22 is over, just lend it to us..."

Lin Yongming rejected such requests without exception, and he refused righteously.

Are you kidding me? Do you believe what I say casually?

If you say there are several, then there are several?

I'm just like that, okay!

I’ve given it to you. Are you still going to do Project No. 22?

While making various excuses, Lin Yongming thought of the young man on the other end of the phone.

After explaining just now, Chen Nian hung up the phone on the grounds that he wanted to continue studying for the material science course.

In fact, Lin Yongming knew very well that he just didn't want to say too much.

Willing to hide behind the scenes, even if he has made amazing achievements, he is unwilling to speak loudly.

This style of work... is so nostalgic.

Lin Yongming sighed. Just when he was about to send everyone away and go back to arrange work for the project team, an elderly figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was He Hongwen, the old man he had previously called Mr. He.

He Hongwen took Lin Yongming's hand and said seriously:

"You come with me."

Hearing his tone, Lin Yongming's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Standing in front of him was the recognized successor of J-8 chief designer Gu Songfen. Although he did not directly participate in the initial design of the J-8, he also played an irreplaceable role in subsequent improvements and modifications.

The J-8 fighter jets that took off from his hands have defended the airspace of the Republic for twenty years.

For such a person to ask him to come over in such an obviously questioning tone, the feeling of oppression is self-evident.

Lin Yongming followed He Hongwen anxiously. The two of them walked to Lin Yongming's office. After confirming that no one else was present, He Hongwen asked:

"Yongming, where did your data come from?"

Lin Yongming was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Mr. He, didn't you just say it at the meeting? It's the result of a joint deduction by our project team..."

"Tell the truth. This kind of rhetoric can deceive others, but it will never deceive me."

"I have seen your data, including aviation data and previously submitted airframe design data."

"The personal traces of these two pieces of data are too heavy - don't think that there are no personal traces in the numbers. The person who output this data did some tricks."

"To be specific, he deliberately wrote some wrong data, and the method was clever enough to deceive most people."

"But if someone has actually designed an aircraft from beginning to end and understands every aspect of an aircraft, they will definitely be able to see the problems."

"It's a coincidence, I saw it."

"So, don't be careless with me. Now tell me who produced this data and how he did it!"

"I know you don't plan to expose his identity to a large extent, but no matter who he is, my authority is enough!"

After hearing He Hongwen's words, Lin Yongming realized that it was impossible to deceive him.

In fact, even he himself had discovered one or two mistakes that Chen Nian had made deliberately before, but he did not reveal them.

Because he knew that this was just a way for Chen Nian to protect himself - although this method was not very clever.

Now that He Hongwen has figured it out, there is no need to hide it.

So he opened his mouth and replied:

"Mr. He, I can't hide anything from you...the two data are indeed from the same person."

"Even our previous new materials and new processes have a lot to do with him..."

"Is he also the material?"

He Hongwen's eyes widened in disbelief, which was completely beyond his expectation.

How is this possible?

These are obviously two fields with a huge span - no, three fields.

How did that person achieve significant results in three fields at the same time?

Stolen? Copied?

His first reaction was the same as Chen Guo, Lei Gang and Lin Yongming, but he soon understood:

There is no place in this world where you can copy or steal this kind of technology...

This made him even more confused. Since he couldn't steal it, did he really research it himself?

Who is the person who can do this?

"Yes, including the previous TC4 titanium-aluminum alloy and the later high-temperature resistant nickel-iron alloy, they were all made by him."

"To be honest, I'm as surprised as you are."

"But if you ask me how he did it, I can't answer that."

"He is constantly acquiring knowledge. According to the observations of the intelligence personnel we arranged, the efficiency and intensity of his learning have reached a quite astonishing level."

"At the same time, he quickly transformed the acquired knowledge into technical achievements with a very high conversion rate."

"I can only say that maybe he is a genius beyond all our common sense... Maybe there is a supercomputer hidden in his mind..."

He Hongwen, who was opposite him, nodded silently. After a long time, he said with emotion and joy:

"This is truly genius..."
