After the seminar, Chen Nian completed his analysis of the technical documentation of the TLS-1000 laser equipment as planned. He thought it would not be too difficult. After all, the structures of all lasers are basically the same. The key difficulty should be Focus on a few core components.
But unexpectedly, when the information was poured into his brain, he was simply shocked by the sophistication and complexity of this instrument.
Just a fiber optic combining device, if it were to be written into a document, even the simplest description would be conservatively estimated to be about a hundred pages.
I have no choice but to spend time grinding it out slowly.
So in the next few days, except for routine studies and discussions with the Tinder Group, Chen Nian almost completely entered a closed state and focused exclusively on his laser.
His life once again entered a period of calm, but the undercurrent surrounding him never stopped.
Chang'an.
Bloomberg sat in his office, staring closely at the task relationship diagrams all over the wall.
In the past period of time, he has clarified the connection between all China's major breakthrough projects in recent years and NPU.
The situation was more complicated than he thought. In addition to the professor named Chen Guo who was initially targeted, he found a list of 12 more "risk personnel".
These people are spread across various fields, and the project relationships involved are also intricate. It is indeed not easy to determine the complete course of action one by one.
Moreover, after rising to a certain level, the location and footprints of these personnel are confidential information, and very little data can be found through civilian transportation.
He originally wanted to directly determine the next breakthrough through the simplest method of "finding intersections", but after looking around, he discovered that there was no reliable intersection between these people.
Maybe at a certain moment, two of the 12 people will appear in the same place, but after spending a lot of energy to trace the source, it is discovered that they just participated in the same tour group during the holiday, and even the photos were posted on On a public platform, it has nothing to do with any academic content.
In this case, Bloomberg gradually lost patience.
He refocused his attention on Chen Guo, who was discovered by his intuition, and followed his "resume" step by step, trying to find the key nodes that he had missed.
In 2003, Chen Guo was still teaching at NPU.
Then from 2003 to 2004, his teaching hours dropped sharply.
Regarding this change, the official explanation given is that he participated in theoretical research on the aerodynamic design of the J-22 project, so he frequently traveled to Liaoning on business.
This is consistent with the trajectory information found by Bloomberg - in fact, he also knows that since it has been publicly reported as an advanced case, the official has no reason to lie on this matter.
But the strange thing is that after the end of the J-22 project, Chen Guo's teaching hours did not resume.
He seemed to have just finished one project and then started working on another.
J-20?
It's possible.
After all, according to his investigation, the lift fan project involved in the J-20 project came from a Chinese scientist who returned from the United States, and this person and Chen Guo were once classmates.
The other party suddenly and resolutely chose to return to China after several years of silence, and it was China that exchanged the then-heavy reconnaissance aircraft, electronic jammers and crew members. There must be some push from some "acquaintances".
Otherwise, in that kind of tense situation that can be said to be full of dangers, the other party would not be able to risk his own life.
Therefore, Bloomberg can basically confirm that Chen Guo participated in the J-20 project.
It is even possible that he is one of the organizers of this project - at least, he should be very close to the real organizers.
But at this point, Bloomberg still cannot locate the specific situation of this organization.
He could only continue to look down.
Since the end of the J-20 project, Chen Guo's teaching hours have further declined. He seems to have been transferred from his teaching position and began to specialize in the research and development of new equipment.
But the problem is that there is basically no need for his participation in all subsequent large-scale projects.
The evolution of UAVs is based on the existing technical foundations of the J-20 and J-22. The design of large aircraft such as the H-20 and fighter jets can almost be said to be two paths, and within the possible project cycle of the H-20 , Chen Guo and his family have records of leaving Chang'an many times.
To be precise, this is a record of family visits and short vacations.
If he is indeed a core member of the H-20 project, then he absolutely should not leave Chang'an at such a critical period.
But the question is, if he is not a core member of this project, what on earth is he doing?
It can't be possible. Is he doing a cross-border project on the No. 001 aircraft carrier?
This is simply a fantasy.
No matter how outstanding the genius in this world is, it is impossible for him to function in two completely different directions at the same time. This is an unbreakable objective law.
Bloomberg once again fell into confusion, and after a long reasoning, he seemed to have returned to the starting point at this moment.
He sighed deeply and sat back on the sofa helplessly.
"The other party's confidentiality work is very good, which shows that there are only two possible outcomes."
"Either the legendary organization doesn't exist at all, and they are just lucky enough to have breakthroughs in all fields."
"Either, the organization's level of confidentiality is higher than we thought, making it impossible for us to start."
Hearing his words, the assistant opposite shook his head and replied in a funny way:
"You seem to have said something that is never wrong."
"But the fact is - this is nonsense. Don't you think that what we are doing is just a waste of time?"
"What if we find this organization? Do we have to clean up the members of the organization one by one? Or do we want to blow up their headquarters?"
".Maybe they will really do this."
The assistant said meaningfully.
"Stop it, unless they're really crazy."
Bloomberg rolled his eyes and then brought the topic back to the latest findings.
"Chen Guo. There must be something wrong with this person, but we can't find him."
"I'm wondering, can we apply for higher authority and dig deeper into his relationships?"
"Maybe there is only a thin line between us and the truth. Maybe what we lack is just the next name."
"It can't be done."
The assistant shook his head and replied:
"We have activated almost all the upper-level relationships, and even some people - you know, their status is so high that it is the limit of what we can touch."
"But even such a person can only provide limited effective information."
"It is impossible to solve the problem with simple methods. We can only explore slowly."
"Perhaps we can start with the people around him? I mean, in addition to the family members who are under special protection, he always has to come into contact with other people."
"Even an ordinary shopkeeper may be able to bring us unexpected clues."
"Then we will have to spend more time. This is very dangerous for us."
Bloomberg frowned and continued:
"We have been targeted. The only reason why you and I are still sitting here safely is that they haven't obtained enough evidence yet."
"Every second I stay is an unnecessary risk for me."
"You know, some of our 'friends' have begun to lose their patience and plan to use more radical methods."
"Even if we don't cause problems ourselves, they may drag us into the water."
The assistant nodded silently.
He knew that this was indeed true.
Although the methods have not yet progressed to the level of violence and illegality, just two days ago, someone was already ready to take action and was caught.
As the mission continues and the pressure continues to grow, things like this will only become more and more common.
But if you just give up
"Are you willing?"
Bloomberg shook his head and replied:
"It doesn't change because of my own will - well, I'll give it one last try."
"Let's start investigating, starting with my acquaintances."
Two hours later, in Liu Hai's office.
".So you really have no impression of this person?"
Bloomberg asked with a frown.
The bangs on the other side had a puzzled expression on his face and answered:
"Why should I have an impression? You also said that it was seven years ago."
"My friend, do you know what seven years is? At that time, my office didn't even exist, and I was just a small clerk running business."
"At that time, I had to meet at least ten strangers every day and maintain relationships with dozens of clients."
"Yes, the one you are talking about, Professor Chen Guo, he does look like an important customer, but I have contacted hundreds of such important customers."
"Actually, I want to say that it would be weird if I still remembered him now."
"But you remember your job very well."
"It's just a vague memory."
Liu Hai spread his hands, his eyes not changing at all.
Just a few minutes ago, Bloomberg found himself again, and the purpose of his visit this time was very simple, which was to inquire about a person.
Chen Guo, the person Liu Hai had spent a lot of time trying to get close to but ultimately came back without success, how could he not be impressed?
He even remembered that the first time he met him was outside his office.
A student happened to come to him to hand in his homework. What was that student's name?
This really makes no impression.
However, the reason why he did not tell the truth was because the moment Bloomberg walked into this office, he already felt that something was wrong.
During this period, their demand for "high-end talents" seems to be too strong.
And just last time, he had just helped Bloomberg get in touch with the talent they needed about "advanced energy materials." Not long after, China disclosed information about metallic hydrogen.
This made him understand that Bloomberg's motives were definitely not as pure as he said.
They don't want people, they want information.
And this kind of thing is generally called stealing secrets.
Although Liu Hai is greedy for money, he also knows that some money is not his own.
On top of the conventional means, he did not feel any guilt in freeing up talents and doing some pure intermediary business. After all, it was someone else's choice.
But for this?
This thing is treason. Not to mention whether you can survive if you are really caught. This crime is enough to bring shame to your ancestors and grandchildren for more than ten generations.
Therefore, after receiving the money, he almost immediately broke off the relationship with Bloomberg, and even anonymously reported Bloomberg to the official, but he has not received a reply yet.
In this case, Bloomberg still wants to continue to trick him into doing the same thing?
He's not that stupid yet.
But even if he behaves like this, Bloomberg on the opposite side seems not to give up yet.
After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"I still wish you could do me a favor and at least think about it again."
"This person is very important to us. He is a big business. If we can negotiate, the reward will definitely not be small."
"We don't even need much information - his hobbies, his relationships, what he is doing, where to go to have the best chance of meeting him. In short, we will pay for any useful information that can get us on the line with him. money."
Bloomberg deliberately pretended to have a sincere tone, as if he really planned to use this information to favor Chen Guo and poach him to his employer.
But in fact, he wanted this information just to further screen out useful breakthrough points, continue to improve Chen Guo's social relationships, and thus complete his "interpretation" of him.
But the bangs on the opposite side were extremely determined.
"Peng Bo, I'm afraid you really found the wrong person this time."
"To be honest, I know nothing about this person, and all previous information has been lost long ago."
"If you really want it, you might as well go directly to Senas. They may still have KOC's information in their database."
"We've already looked for it."
Bloomberg looked at Bangs carefully, as if he wanted to make sure he wasn't lying.
It lasted for several seconds before he finally gave up.
"Okay. Then I have to let others make the money."
"Goodbye my friend."
After that, Bloomberg stood up and left.
Liu Hai did not send him off, but immediately picked up the phone after he walked out of sight and broadcast the number that he had memorized by heart.
12399.
"Hello, I want to report a clue"
On the other side, Bloomberg has returned to the car waiting in the distance.
As soon as he closed the car door, he immediately said to his assistant:
"Luckily, there's something wrong with this bangs!"
"He may know something about Chen Guo, but he is very wary!"
"However, I must have a way to make him speak."
