"How did you find them?"
In the office, Chen Nian looked at Zhang Wangshui who had returned to the 611 office and asked curiously.
Zhang Wangshui smiled and replied:
"Actually, to be honest, we didn't really catch them."
"No link in their entire plan involves the exchange of explicit information within the country. The evidence we have does not directly prove that they are related to this matter."
"But, they did make a mistake."
"They're so experienced, they've done so many dirty things in other places."
"So, as soon as I was arrested, there was a reaction from the May Party."
"They know that there are various ways we can keep these two men in our hands, and as long as they are in our hands, they are a ticking time bomb."
"So... this is essentially an exchange."
"Of course, they still haven't admitted that the purpose of this incident was 'sabotage,' and it's impossible for us to characterize it that way."
"But we got everything we needed to get."
Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.
This was a result he had long expected.
In fact, the secret war between the two countries has a long history, but in many cases, there is no news on the public platform.
It's not because the thing doesn't exist, but because of the consideration of comprehensive interests.
Catching a spy and then uprooting the other party probably only happens between small and weak countries.
Between big countries, there are more games and compromises.
No matter how bad the nature of this incident is, it cannot rise from the ground to the table.
"So, what did they trade for?"
Chen Nian continued to ask.
"A list with few names."
"A list?"
Chen Nian repeated it subconsciously, and then he honestly shut up.
He knew that this was not something he should continue to ask.
However, he also knew that after getting this list, things like Jin Wusao's might become less common.
After informing Chen Nian of the results, Zhang Wangshui said goodbye and left, while Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed on the chair.
This matter finally came to an end. When he proposed the name Chen Yunyong, he never thought that it would trigger such a big chain reaction.
But then I thought about it, Chen Yunyong did return to China in his previous life.
Looking back carefully, he became active again around 15 years ago. At that time...
The conflict that broke out here may not be smaller than this time.
Finally the result is good!
Chen Nian thought happily.
Then, he stood up and planned to go to the laboratory.
Chen Yunyong has arrived, but due to confidentiality requirements, there is no need for the two to meet.
For Chen Yunyong, this may be a pity.
After all, he had no chance to see clearly the "shadow" behind Lin Yongming.
But for Chen Nian, this arrangement made him feel a lot more relaxed.
In short, not needing personnel is not something he is passionate about. As long as he can convey what needs to be conveyed, it is enough.
In these two days, he will try his best to sort out what needs to be handed over. After the handover is completed, he can leave Chengdu and return to NPU.
At the same time, just after Zhang Wangshui left, an invisible storm began to arise in China.
Two days later, Chen Nian took a special train back to NPU.
After this incident, the superior was obviously a little nervous, especially him, who was extremely cautious.
Not to mention airplanes, ordinary vehicles are strictly controlled. These people really wanted to get an armored vehicle to transport Chen Nian, and it had to be mine-proof.
After finally arriving at NPU, Chen Nian found that more people were following him.
From the original 6-person team configuration, it has now been changed to at least 12 people.
This gave him the feeling of watching John Wick at that time.
Maybe someone stands in the middle of the road and presses the stopwatch, and then everyone will stop and turn their heads to look at him.
Really, everyone is a mole.
But joking aside, this was also for his safety, so Chen Nian didn't say anything and just cooperated.
Anyway, it doesn’t affect normal life.
No one but himself could tell which ones were the real pancake stall owners and which ones were assigned to be on duty there.
After all, their pancakes are pretty good too
The first thing Chen Nian did when he returned to school was to go find Chen Guo and ask him to rearrange his class schedule.
Now the number of source points in his hand is very small. Although it has returned to 1.5 points after a few days of study, it is still several points away from the safety line he set for himself.
It is necessary to start large and small classes as soon as possible to accelerate the accumulation of source points.
There were so many projects waiting for him, and he didn't want to waste too much time.
After arranging the class, Chen Nian planned to start studying immediately. However, after a day of riding in the car, his mind was really confused, so he simply went to school, intending to chat with Li Xiang and relax.
But unexpectedly, Li Xiang was not here either.
I didn't meet him, but I met another person.
Wang Jiancheng.
The dream-chasing boy who proposed the "fluctuating light" air and space defense system.
As soon as he saw Chen Nian, Wang Jiancheng immediately ran up excitedly and said hello:
"Senior Chen, long time no see!"
"Yeah, how are you doing?"
Chen Nian replied enthusiastically.
In fact, when it comes to not seeing each other for a long time, the time when the two of them "missed each other" was not too long. At least compared to Qiu Mai who never saw each other every two or three months, his more than a month was nothing.
It's probably because this kid hasn't figured out his habits yet, so he feels "it's been a long time".
"It's been fine recently! Senior, I heard that you have entered a special class?"
"You know this as well?"
Chen Nian asked in surprise.
"Hehe, isn't it publicized before learning from outstanding people? I saw your name, and I wanted to treat you to a meal to celebrate, but you didn't get through on the phone, so I didn't bother you."
Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
Since his superiors assigned him a dedicated phone number, his own number seems to have been idle. He can only think of checking the phone once in three days. Most of the time, he just throws it at home and acts as a mobile phone. Wake up alarm clock.
"I'm sorry, I don't look at my phone very much. But don't you want to treat me to a meal? Go to the cafeteria?"
"Canteen. Senior, why don't you go out to eat?"
"It's really not necessary, just eat here."
Wang Jiancheng saw Chen Nian's determined look, so he stopped forcing him. The two walked into the cafeteria side by side, each ordered a meal, and started chatting casually together.
When chatting with him, Chen Nian always had a little expectation that came from nowhere, so without saying a few words, the topic turned to study and scientific research.
"So your plan is to enter the special class next year? I think the admissions rules are quite strict. Are you sure?"
"have!"
Wang Jiancheng nodded solemnly and replied:
"My grades are definitely adequate. The only difference is that the above mentioned requirement is to have your own subject direction - I asked someone to ask about this, and it's actually not that difficult."
"After all, the school will not hold us to the standards of graduate students."
“The so-called research direction is actually more about testing students’ independent research abilities.”
"Now there are some groups formed in the school. I have also learned about them. Their directions are relatively...well, relatively basic."
“Or to put it another way, it’s not the kind of direction that really yields results.”
"So I think if I can choose a direction and make some results, the competitiveness should still be very strong."
"By the way, maybe I can still compete."
After listening to his words, Chen Nian couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
He had also found out about this brother from Chen Guo before. He was a talented player. He was specially recruited, so his performance and ability were naturally good.
Now that I have said these few words, the goals are clear, the plan is clear, and the elements needed for scientific research are basically all in place.
As long as we don't stumble, it can be said that the future is promising.
Thinking of this, he asked:
"What are you going to do about it?"
"Drones!"
"Huh? Drone?"
Chen Nian couldn't help but widen his eyes.
To be honest, there are not many people who would bring up this idea.
You know, in 2005, drones were not a hot concept, and even in military magazines, they did not occupy much space.
It appears most often in science fiction works.
Therefore, Wang Jiancheng was able to think of drones, which can be said to be an excellent idea.
After calming down, he continued to ask:
"What type of drone? A civilian rotary-wing drone? Or the one from a model aircraft club?"
"neither."
Wang Jiancheng shook his head and replied:
"What I want to do is a drone that can actually be used in practical combat."
"Similar to ASN-206?"
The ASN-206 is probably my country's first truly usable military drone. Its main purpose is tactical reconnaissance. It has a small range of activities and can only provide limited tactical intelligence support to the army.
"No, it's something like a top-secret flight!"
"Top secret flight?? You mean that thing in the trailer of the school cinema?"
"Yeah, that's it!"
Wang Jiancheng nodded excitedly and continued:
"I saw the trailer of that movie. It was about a drone controlled by artificial intelligence. It was very exciting!"
"Senior, think about it, if drones can really participate in battles like ordinary fighter jets in the future, how much will our overall combat effectiveness be improved?"
"But, isn't it too early for you to mention artificial intelligence at this time?"
Chen Nian frowned and said.
In fact, let alone now, even 20 years from now, it will be impossible to achieve the kind of artificial intelligence used in top-secret flights.
He has also seen that movie. The plane in it can make decisions independently, choose its attack targets independently, and even modify its established strategy.
That is to say, there is such a thing in the movie. In reality, I don't want to touch it too early when the system is added to it.
This kid still thinks too far.
Chen Nianzheng was planning to give him a few words of advice, but unexpectedly, Wang Jiancheng's next words made him freeze in place.
"No, I don't do artificial intelligence."
"What I want to do is be a drone wingman."
"Based on the data link system, a wingman capable of coordinated operations!"
Damn it? !
Chen Nian's eyes widened in surprise.
Are you kidding? This is only 2005!
The manned/unmanned collaborative combat strategy that only gradually emerged after almost 20 years, are you going to implement it now? ?
