"Have you captured another plane? Why do you feel like there are people gathering on the other side to send it off?"
Looking at the latest briefing sent over, Chen Nian said to himself.
From the EP-3E a long time ago, to the later EA-6B, and now to the EC-130H, the results are getting bigger every time.
I really don’t know if one day the other side will take the initiative to send F-22 to our door.
However, now that the J-22 has successfully made its first flight, I wonder if the other side will continue the F-22 project.
After all, the only purpose of this thing since its birth was to seize absolute air supremacy, but now, this "absoluteness" has been broken.
That means that the F-22's mission has been forced to end early.
Maybe they will develop more advanced fighters?
It's not impossible.
Although our side seems to have gained all the advantages in recent times, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called advantage is actually just a point-to-point breakthrough in a small area.
The opponent's technical background is still unquestionable. As long as they want to, they can indeed continue to develop on the basis of the F-22, and even directly skip the fourth or fifth generation and directly enter the era of the sixth generation aircraft.
By then, the J-22 will still not have the advantage.
Of course, this is just a deduction based on normal development.
But now that you have your own plug-in, are you worried that you won’t be able to defeat a sixth-generation machine?
When your sixth-generation machine comes out, my fluctuating light will reach the sky.
Chen Nian shook his head, threw away the report in his hand, and began to review his "Task Manager" on paper as usual.
[Existing number of source points: 4.37]
[Daily average source point growth rate: 0.15]
[Task 1: Analyze the core technology of high-speed rail. Source point consumption: 6.7】
In two days, the number of source points increased by another 0.35 points, which actually slightly exceeded the average daily growth rate. However, this can only be regarded as an accidental breakthrough.
According to the current speed, in about 20 days, the core technology of high-speed rail will begin to be analyzed.
Everything is ready for Zhang Shuguang. The negotiations with the four suppliers have been deliberately dragged into a deadlock. Now they are waiting for the card in Chen Nian's hand to be created and then find an opportunity to play it.
——
The time is not urgent. After all, for negotiations on such a large project, the preparation time for any meeting is measured in months.
If it progresses too quickly, it will not be conducive to one's own right to seize the right to speak.
Chen Nian sighed silently, lamenting the complexity of affairs.
I really don’t know how the great men of the older generation persisted. The work in their hands was more complicated than mine, and their final achievements far exceeded mine.
Not to mention anything else, within a few decades, it resisted the invasion of foreign enemies, reorganized the broken mountains and rivers, and then used astonishing efficiency to turn a weak agricultural country into an industrial power.
It's incredible to say this kind of thing.
It would be great if I could learn from them if I had the chance.
After a moment of silence, he put away his wandering thoughts and began to organize his plan.
Now, the silicon material metallurgy course in his hand has been basically completed, and as a teacher, Mo Zhongmin praised him greatly.
He has never seen any student learn as fast as Chen Nian.
The key is that Chen Nian is not only fast, but also effective.
If I had to describe it, it would be high intensity, deep level, and high frequency.
Therefore, the density of knowledge he masters per unit time is much greater than others.
After completing the silicon material metallurgy course, Chen Nian plans to start learning "advanced functional materials/thin films, energy materials" as the next step. This is the research direction that Mo Zhongmin selected for him as the most cost-effective in the short term.
However, this subject has relatively high requirements for various basic subjects. In the large class, Chen Nian must study as far ahead as possible to avoid failing to keep up with the small class due to basic problems.
Chen Nian took a look at the class schedule for the new semester. All the major courses at NPU this semester have been adjusted. None of the useless courses above are gone, and the elective courses are all eliminated.
The overall training plan is in the form of "special classes".
Of course, NPU originally did not have any special classes or junior classes. It was purely because of Chen Nian that such a class was set up and some people were brought in.
This made Chen Nian a little confused.
If it doesn't work, just drop out of school.
Convenient for everyone.
I had never considered this before, mainly because I thought there were not many projects and I could handle it.
But now, with both a high-speed rail and an aircraft carrier, it is a bit inconvenient and unnecessary to retain the identity of a student.
Next semester.
I will definitely drop out of school next semester.
As for the reason, just let any agency recruit you specially.
It won't cause too much noise, and the logical chain is smooth, so it's not easy for people to see the flaws.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to turn to the next page of the class schedule.
The physical education class that he was least willing to attend was unexpectedly retained.
As for the project, I also chose badminton.
Maybe it’s because the authorities think this sport is relatively safe and requires a lot of exercise.
But whether to go there or not is a question.
Theoretically speaking, even if you really don't want to go, the higher-ups won't send someone to take you away by force, but just think about it and you will know that these people can build a museum for themselves, which shows that they have great respect for themselves. The degree of attention it attaches to is absolutely unprecedented.
Then, forcing yourself to exercise and stay healthy is inevitable.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative and look decent.
Chen Nian reluctantly threw down his class schedule and took a look at the time. It was almost time for afternoon classes, so he decisively packed up his textbooks and went out towards the teaching building.
The four afternoon periods were all devoted to statistics, which is a basic basic subject related to materials science and will be used frequently when entering practical engineering applications. Therefore, Chen Nian also worked hard and took the class more seriously than anyone else.
After completing a lesson, Chen Nian checked his system interface. The source point increased by 0.03 and now reached 4.4 points.
One step closer to the goal!
He originally wanted to go to the library to continue studying for a few hours, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that all the materials he needed had been brought back to his residence. There was really no need to go to a public place to study, so he simply walked in the direction of Ximen, planning to Go have some dinner.
Of course, he could actually ask the security personnel to deliver the food, but he was unwilling to do so.
Because this is how he gets infected with the fireworks of the world.
During this cheating year, many times, he could not help but feel that he was far away from the "ordinary people" he was once familiar with. Sometimes he even felt that maybe he did not belong to the same world as them.
The reason is not only because he was reborn, but more importantly, because his "position" rose too fast.
Just like a bamboo tree, when the spring rain comes, it suddenly jumps up several meters or more than ten meters, but its root system is not developed.
At this time, my field of vision was forced to reach the clouds, and was blocked by layers of branches and leaves. Slowly, I could no longer see the soil under my feet.
He hated this feeling.
——
Or fear.
Therefore, he always forced himself to look for opportunities to lower his head.
The reason why I don't want to leave the university actually has this consideration in it.
After walking out of school, Chen Nian came to the familiar mutton soup restaurant. It was the same restaurant where Wang Jiancheng had dinner last time. The owner of the restaurant, Nian, greeted him warmly when he saw him.
"Brother, are you here?"
"Here you go, a bowl of mutton soup and some steamed buns - I'll make them myself."
Following the local customs, Chen Nian also learned the habits of Northwest people.
Regardless of whether the soup is authentic or not, the steamed buns must be broken by yourself. Whether they are cut or broken by others, they have no soul.
"Okay, just sit down for a while and I'll be here soon."
The landlady was smiling as always, but Chen Nian vaguely felt that she seemed to be particularly happy today.
"What's the matter, boss lady, are you happy?"
Chen Nian asked curiously.
"A happy event. Hey, it's not really a happy event, it's a good thing."
The landlady wiped her hands and replied happily.
"Tell me about it? Do I get some benefit too?"
"Hey, why are you so proud? I remember your hometown is in the south, right? When you first came here, you still had a southern accent."
"Yeah, from the south."
Chen Nian answered vaguely.
"Then this matter has nothing to do with you."
When she said this, Chen Nian became even more curious.
"Come on, why don't you keep it a secret? I'm very strict!"
Seeing Chen Nian's curious expression, the landlady hesitated for a moment and said:
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you this. I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to handle if it spreads too widely."
"Let me tell you, your eldest brother built a whole car!"
"Built a car? What do you mean? Your own car?"
"No, it's a bus!"
"Bus? What's going on?"
Chen Nian asked doubtfully.
At first, when the landlady said that she had renovated the car, he was quite surprised. After all, private cars are not that popular these days, or in other words, they are still considered luxury goods. It was quite surprising that the landlady could buy a car by herself by running such a small shop. It was beyond his expectation.
But after finishing the second half of the sentence, he overturned his guess.
This doesn't look like a private car.
Who is a good person who buys a bus to travel?
"Oh, isn't it September already? We haven't been home for several years, so we were thinking about going home this year for the Chinese New Year."
"But you also know that it's hard to buy tickets for the Spring Festival. In previous years, we couldn't buy tickets every year."
"So this time, your eldest brother and I simply changed our thinking. Instead of buying train tickets, we went back by ourselves!"
"Your eldest brother bought a car from a junkyard and it cost less than 5,000 yuan. Everything works, but there is something wrong with the engine."
"It just so happens that he has learned some auto repair. We plan to repair it ourselves and drive it home during the Chinese New Year!"
Hearing this, Chen Nian suddenly realized.
I see.
These days, the "Spring Festival Transport" matter is not as easy as it was after the high-speed rail was introduced. Every Chinese New Year is a time when railway transportation capacity undergoes a major test.
He still remembers that at its peak, the railways had to handle more than 200 million trips during the Spring Festival travel period. Train tickets before and after New Year's Eve were hard to come by.
Scalpers emerge in endlessly, and it is common for a ticket worth tens of dollars to become worth hundreds of dollars.
Problems caused by carjacking and fare evasion are even more common.
This situation reached its peak in 2008.
That year, coupled with the rain, snow and freezing disasters in the south, railway capacity was stretched to the limit. More than 400,000 passengers were stranded at one railway station in Guangzhou alone.
The scene at that time.
Chen Nian couldn't describe it, but one could imagine that it must be extremely painful.
Under such circumstances, people who wanted to return home came up with various methods.
Motorcycling, hiking, road use. Use it for everything.
They suffered from hunger on the road, but in fact they just wanted to see their relatives and their hometown on that day of family gathering.
Therefore, it is really not surprising that the landlady came up with such a method.
But if you just want to go home by yourself, you don’t need to buy a bus, right?
"Are you still planning to recruit people?"
Chen Nian asked.
"Hey, we have a lot of fellow villagers here, and they all plan to go back during the New Year."
"We have agreed that we will leave at the end of December. The journey will be slower. We will arrive in mid-January anyway."
"I have contacted all the drivers and sold all the tickets. After this trip, I can basically even out the cost of buying and repairing the car."
"How about it, your elder brother is smart, right?"
The face of the landlady showed undisguised pride, and Chen Nian looked at it with envy and emotion.
For them, life is actually not easy.
Far away from their hometown, they opened a shabby little shop in the big city in their hearts. The money they earned throughout the year, after excluding expenses and the expenses of their son going to college, was really not much left.
But they never complained.
They just think of ways silently by themselves.
When people in the world talk about the so-called "national character", they always take the topic high and far away, but they just don't know whether those so-called experts, so-called opinion leaders, and so-called public intellectuals have really stooped down to look at it. Look at these ordinary people.
Isn't it in them that we can see the true "national character"?
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nian smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said:
"Brother is awesome!"
"But you have to pay attention to safety on the road and prepare all kinds of licenses to avoid being inspected later, which will be troublesome."
"Don't worry, your elder brother is reliable."
"We have asked someone about the license and so on. We should be able to get it done. It's just that the annual inspection of the car is more troublesome. He has been busy with this for the past two days."
"hope everything is fine!"
"That's for sure!"
The proprietress put the mutton soup on Chen Nian's table. Seeing that there were no customers in the store, she simply sat down with him, took off her gloves, and helped Chen Nian break the buns together.
"You said it's not easy to go home for the New Year. I watched TV and people abroad also have to go home for Christmas, but it's much easier for them."
"It's an airplane again, and it's a Shinkansen - a high-speed railway."
"Brother, you also learned to fly, right? Can you make airplanes cheaper in the future so that ordinary people can fly on them?"
Chen Nian paused for a moment, then replied with a smile:
"Flights will be cheaper in the future."
"However, planes alone are definitely not enough."
"Don't worry, in a few years, I guarantee you won't have any difficulty if you want to go home again."
"Just look at mine."
