A few days later, Chengdu.

Bond sat in the hotel room, frowning at the latest intelligence.

"According to the intelligence from the rear, the relevant departments have just reached an agreement with Huaxia to exchange a group of scientific researchers stranded in our country with the EC-130H and crew members that were forced to land before."

"Among them, there is an expert named Chen Yunyong. He is in the direction of aero-engines, but during a recent review, technical documents about lift fans were found in his room."

"We have reason to suspect that he is related to the new project of Chengdu Aircraft, and is likely to play an important role in the project."

Hearing his words, Sean scratched his head subconsciously.

"Isn't this judgment too far-fetched? After all, they exchanged a lot of scientific researchers this time, and Chen Yunyong is not that outstanding."

"According to the information, he has not been engaged in scientific research for nearly five years. He has been teaching in Princeton, and he has been exposed to very basic technologies and information."

Bond glared at him bitterly, and cursed:

"Far-fetched? What is far-fetched?"

"Is it not far-fetched to wait until they send people to the research institute and get the evidence?"

"Intelligence work is like this. Make reasonable deduction based on all possible clues. If you think all the clues are far-fetched, then what are we doing? Just go back to Texas to herd cattle!"

".Okay, here you go. So what do we need to do?"

Sean spread his hands helplessly, with a subtle expression.

He always felt that his partner was a bit too neurotic, and he was dragged into it even though it was something that had nothing to do with it.

"We can't let him enter the project team smoothly, at least not now."

Bond said emphatically.

"How to do it? If the agreement has been reached, then there will be no obstacles to the procedures for them to return home. It will not happen. You want to blow up the plane, right?"

"Idiot, is this the way you came up with?"

Bond gritted his teeth hard, he couldn't figure out how his partner could be so stupid.

Blow up the plane?

What a joke!

Not to mention how difficult the actual operation is, more importantly, this "release" is based on the "agreement".

As long as those experts do not land safely, the other party will regard it as a breach of contract.

At that time, not to mention that the safety of the crew members of one's own side cannot be guaranteed, in severe cases, it may even lead to more intense conflicts.

No one wants to see such a result.

He sighed, suppressing the anger that had already risen in Lao Gao, and patiently explained:

"We have to get them back home safely."

"However, we cannot allow them to enter Chengdu smoothly."

"We have a lot of ways to create this kind of result."

"Extreme ones, car accidents, accidents, diseases."

"Soft, gossip, scandal, rumors"

"Use your brains. If a senior scholar is revealed to be indiscriminate in his private life and has close contacts with hostile departments while abroad, will he have to undergo stricter scrutiny if he wants to enter the core project again?"

"It makes sense!"

Sean nodded in agreement.

"So that's what we do?"

".I'm just giving an example. What to do specifically needs further discussion."

"However, let's put the rumors out first."

"Also, how is the investigation of the special task force going?"

Hearing Bond's question, Sean quickly took out a stack of documents from the briefcase beside him and handed them to him.

"At present, some areas have been delineated according to the action trajectories. After investigation, there are about 360 people whose action trajectories overlap."

"These people were divided into a total of 29 groups. After excluding the 19 groups that were obviously inconsistent, there were about 10 groups, which may be related to that special working group."

"The total number is 112."

".Are you kidding me? 112 people, do you think it's easy to extract the people who are really related to the special task force?"

"not easy."

Sean sighed, then continued:

"But that's the limit of what we can do."

"Their actions are very covert, and the secrecy measures are well done. It is basically impossible to go further."

"What we can do now is to hold this list and wait for further clues to emerge."

"Once we have new leads, we can continue to narrow the scope and even confirm the final list of people."

"As long as there is a list of personnel, the follow-up matter will be much simpler."

Hearing this, Bond nodded slightly.

Well, although my partner sometimes behaves unreliably, he is not a waste after all.

This way of working is very methodical and in line with the logic of intelligence work.

At least, his ten years of work experience was not in vain.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Continue to follow up, and if there is any new progress, be sure to notify me in time."

"In addition, focus on flights between Chengdu and Shenyang, especially private flights!"

"If it's possible for military planes to see it, that's even better!"

"clear!"

Xiao En nodded solemnly, then turned and left with the documents

On the other side, Chen Yunyong has already connected with Office 601, and the contact person is Lei Gang.

".So you know the basic situation. We really need manpower here. The lift fan project has not progressed for a long time. We must have a strong leader to lead the team."

"How difficult is it?"

Hearing Lei Gang's words, Chen Yunyong asked.

"The level that starts from 0."

"There is no preparation for theory?"

"No."

"Is the total pressure ratio problem solved?"

"No."

".Understood, I will be in place as soon as possible, you should be ready."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yunyong hung up the phone directly.

The wife Liu Huixia who was at the side held his hand with some concern, and asked with concern:

"How about it?"

Chen Yunyong shook his head, but did not answer immediately.

In fact, in order to maximize security, the conversation between the two men involved almost no specific information about the real project.

But even with just a few words, Lei Gang also conveyed the key status quo.

There is no model, no basic theory, and no data. In this way, how easy is it to create a two-stage counter-rotating lift fan?

After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"The problem is not as simple as we thought."

At this time, both of them had received the notice about "recent evacuation", so there was no information gap.

"Research in this area in China basically starts from zero. Even if I are included, it is just adding a few numbers after the decimal point to this 'zero'."

"Without that breakthrough '1', everything is empty talk."

Hearing this, Liu Huixia also frowned.

"Is there no possibility of a breakthrough in the short term?"

"There is no possibility, this is not something that can be solved with a 'breakthrough'."

"What they need is a lot of experiments, a lot of data accumulation, plus many excellent and experienced engineers."

"The last one is impossible to solve in the short term anyway, and the first two are not so easy to solve."

"Time is precious, as you know, the F-35 project is coming to an end. Once the F-35 comes out ahead of the J-20, the advantages we have won so hard will be wiped out again."

"This is not a technical issue, this is a strategic issue."

"All the efforts on the plane are essentially for the benefit of the sea."

"It can be said that we are penny-pinching."

Seeing Chen Yunyong's bitter expression, Liu Huixia clenched her hands involuntarily.

"But we don't have much to do. No matter how difficult it is, we have to wait until we go back."

She comforted softly.

"It's too late to go back."

"Then you mean that you want to get the data of the two-pole counter-rotating fan from here?"

Liu Huixia is not an ordinary woman. In fact, in the field of spacecraft design, her strength is not much weaker than that of Chen Yunyong.

Therefore, within a very short period of time, she had guessed what her husband was thinking.

Even, she immediately grasped the key point of the problem.

As long as there is data, most of the difficulties can be solved.

But where to get these data?

Before she could think about it, Chen Yunyong answered:

"I have a contact who works within Lockheed Martin."

"He has access to classified data, and I can try to get him to bring the data out, as long as the data is on the plane."

"It's too dangerous."

Liu Huixia immediately interrupted Chen Yunyong's words and continued:

"Yun Yong, you are not sober now, and the decisions you made are not sober."

"This strategy cannot be implemented at all, and even if it is implemented, it will cause unnecessary sacrifices."

"It's not something we should be doing, and it's not organizationally possible to agree to it."

"But there is no way!"

Chen Yunyong's tone became severe.

Yes, why doesn't he know that this is an extremely dangerous behavior?

Not to mention bringing out data, even a piece of paper brought out from NASA will be subject to strict scrutiny.

A long time ago, a partner he was familiar with almost died because of such a thing.

If it wasn't for the rescue by his superiors using various means, he would never have been able to get out of the federal prison.

But, isn't it dangerous?

It makes sense to take risks when the expected gain is greater than the expected loss.

"It's not an impossible way, it's a stupid way!"

Liu Huixia held Chen Yunyong's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would do something irrational.

"You should trust your fellow man, trust your organization."

"In any case, everyone has everyone's responsibility. Crossing the line is not helping, but adding to the chaos!"

Hearing Liu Huixia's words, Chen Yunyong was taken aback for a moment.

He suddenly realized that maybe he really thought too much.

I always subconsciously feel that I am the savior who will save everything.

But in fact, on the road of scientific research, everyone is very important, and no one can save everything by himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunyong suddenly became enlightened.

"I see."

"I was too pessimistic."

"I really don't need to worry about this matter. What I want to take back is just me."

Hearing this, Liu Huixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Chen Yunyong continued:

"However, I still have to do a little more."

Liu Huixia's heart that had just been let go immediately lifted up again, she looked at Chen Yunyong dumbfounded, and said:

"Just finish it all at once, I'm in a hurry."

Chen Yunyong's eyes gradually brightened.

"people!"

"I want the inflection point to go back!"

Soon after, Chen Yunyong sat in front of the phone.

In his hand is an A4 paper full of names, on which are recorded one name after another that he is either familiar with or unfamiliar with.

This list is provided by the intelligence department, and it is all experts in the aviation field, and most of them already have a certain reputation in the industry.

In addition, they also have a common feature:

Does not serve in key U.S. aerospace sectors.

This feature gives them a natural advantage, that is, they will not be restricted from returning to China like Chen Yunyong.

The reason why they stay here is only for better treatment and better development space.

That said, it's a personal choice.

As long as it is a personal choice, there is room for change.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunyong took a deep breath.

This was his first time doing something like this, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

After a while, he picked up the receiver and dialed the first number.

"Hello? Old Zhang, I'm Chen Yunyong."

"It's nothing, I'll give you a call and I'll take care of you."

"Why, are you still at Bombardier recently? Are you still there? Damn, what's so good about that place? You said that you are not in the Canadian headquarters, a small research institute, and you can let you go?"

"Gao Zhi? I don't have any Gao Zhi, but there is a chance."

"Do you want to come back to engage in fighter jets?"

"How could it be NASA, do I look like the kind of person who pimps NASA? 601!"

"I don't know how the treatment is, but anyway, they are very rich now, you don't know about J-22?"

"Don't worry about whether you want it or not, anyway, you are not on the list, so let's fight if you have dates or not."

"Censorship? There must be problems with censorship, but you are basically fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to call you."

"Okay, okay, press this number to contact me, I'll wait for your message!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yunyong and Liu Huixia looked at each other happily.

Then he picked up the receiver again.

"Hey, old Liu, I, Yunyong."

"Oh, don't talk about what's available, I have a chance, the one in 601, do you want to go?"

"Don't talk about making money. Firstly, you have earned enough. Secondly, the 601 can't treat you badly. They are now local rich people."

"Besides, let me ask you something."

"Do you want to help others make small planes for the rich all your life, or do you want to go back and build a fighter jet with your name on it that can take down the F-22?"

"Old Liu, think about it."

"This time I can assure you."

"You don't have to be a coward to stay here, but you can definitely be a hero when you go back!"
