The project has progressed to this point, and Chen Nian can basically "let go" of the two projects.
The early technical hurdles have been overcome, and what we may encounter next are only some relatively simple practical technical problems.
Therefore, after re-checking the road signs of the entire project and confirming the follow-up plans and arrangements, Chen Nian said goodbye to Mr. Liu and the engineers of the Deep Blue 16 project, and flew back to Chang'an on a special plane.
It is already the end of April 2007. For an ordinary college student, the next three months will be their last college life.
In NPU, the atmosphere of graduation season is very strong. People are taking graduation photos everywhere. Students from the class of 2003 gather together in small groups, sitting on the lawn and chatting.
The sunshine in Chang'an in April was gentle. Chen Nian felt a special feeling in his heart while walking among the crowd.
When he was first reborn, he actually wanted to seriously live the campus life that he had not had in his previous life.
But after all, after making the initial choice, some things had to be given up.
Now, four years of college life have passed by in a flash, and I am about to confirm my permanent residence. I am afraid I will not come back here again for a long time in the future.
The persimmon tree near the Chengzi Building sprouted new branches, and the fountain in front of the new library also started to spray water. Many students were taking photos in front of the aviation building - maybe they were too new and didn't know about this building. There are various legends that are either scary or ridiculous.
——
In the 1990s, a researcher who was under great pressure jumped off the 12th floor here. Since then, this building has become a "ghost building" that must exist in every university.
However, compared to the simple horror of most "ghost buildings", the story of the aviation building has a bit of absurdity.
It is said that a student once stood on the 12th floor. When he was about to jump off, the security guard ran over to check his student ID. When he saw that he was an undergraduate, he dragged him off without any explanation.
The reason for security is also very simple:
"As an undergraduate, you are not qualified to jump from the aviation building. If you want to jump, go out to Building 1."
Building 1 only has five floors, so it’s probably not that easy to kill someone if you jump from it.
——
However, the current Building 1 has also been renovated.
In fact, after Chen Nian came, many buildings in this school have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The students didn't know the reason. They just thought that the school suddenly got rich, but they didn't know that the root cause of this series of changes was a young student who didn't look special and was walking beside them now.
This gave Chen Nian a wonderful "pleasure", as if he was secretly planning something big, but others knew nothing about it.
Well, to put it bluntly, it feels like secretly showing off.
I don't know if after I die, one day, the name "Chen Nian" pops up in the textbook, and a strange statue suddenly appears on the campus of NPU. Will the students who just walked into the campus feel inexplicable? Feel
He was still thinking happily when he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder from behind. Chen Nian turned around and saw that it was Li Xiang.
"Finally home?"
Li Xiang spoke.
"Yeah, I'm about to graduate, and I have to come back and go through the process. Otherwise, wouldn't these four years have been wasted?"
Hearing his words, Li Xiang couldn't help but frown.
"If your experience is in vain, there will be no college student in the world who has not lived in vain."
".But it makes sense. You have been busy with all kinds of things in the past four years, and you haven't experienced campus life at all."
"How about taking advantage of the last three months and taking advantage of the fact that you're not too busy with projects to have a good rest?"
Li Xiang's status in Spark's internal intelligence team has risen rapidly, thanks to his extraordinary talent.
As the level of confidentiality increases, more and more information is available to him.
Therefore, it is not surprising to know the progress of the two projects.
——
However, the information he knew was obviously limited.
For example, Chen Nian knew nothing about the metallic hydrogen project that he had started.
So, Chen Nian opened his mouth and replied:
"Forget it, how can I have time to rest?"
"I see that the Navy's project is almost done, but I have other key civilian projects in hand and I can't take any time off."
".Be careful not to tire yourself out. You have to balance work with rest!"
Li Xiang said seriously.
"Don't worry, I'm aware of it. I just have a lot of things to do and am not very strong."
"Anyway, you should come on your own. This matter is under the control of the logistics team, and I can't get in the way. I heard that you are planning to go home?"
Chen Nian nodded and replied:
"Yes, it was mandated by superiors."
In fact, Chen Nian has not been home for nearly 4 years since he entered school in 2003.
In the previous meetings with his parents, he had brought them to Chang'an without revealing any real information about his work to them.
This time, considering that Chen Nian was about to graduate and would face major adjustments to the confidentiality method in the future, as well as the issues of choosing a permanent residence and settling his family, his superiors decided to let Chen Nian go home and take care of his own affairs.
As for whether he wants to have a showdown with his family and explain his real job and role, that depends purely on Chen Nian's personal wishes.
"I understand, what are you going to do? Show your cards or continue to hide it?"
Li Xiang asked curiously.
"I don't make the decision, let the family choose."
Chen Nian replied.
In fact, the situation is exactly as Chen Nian said.
Whether or not there should be a showdown depends not on what you think, but on what your family thinks.
If they don't come into contact with the real situation, their lives will still be able to maintain the status quo. With the help of the state, they may live better, but the price is that they have very few opportunities to contact Chen Nian, and this son will probably lose family ties in the end. The kernel becomes a "symbol".
And if the family comes into contact with the true information about Chen Nian and understands his importance in this country, then the family must undergo strict scrutiny and strict control.
Their lives will inevitably be greatly affected, and it is basically impossible to live like ordinary people.
It is impossible to say which of the two options is better or worse. Even the superiors cannot give any good suggestions.
After all, they would never treat Chen Nian as an emotionless tool. Family and affection factors play an important role in this decision.
Hearing Chen Nian's answer, Li Xiang sighed.
At this moment, he truly felt the responsibility and pressure that Chen Nian shouldered.
But he had no way to give Chen Nian advice. He could only pat him on the shoulder and say, "Think slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Chen Nian nodded silently.
He did seem to be hesitating, but there was no trace of confusion in his eyes.
