611, in a secret office.

Chen Nian sat in front of Yang Wei, and beside him were two senior cadres from the intelligence department.

Everyone looked serious, after all, what they were discussing was of great significance.

The intelligence officer named Zhang Wangshui sitting on the right was the first to ask:

"Chen Gong, do you think this transfer will be risky?"

Chen Nian nodded, and answered bluntly:

"Yes, in my opinion, the return action this time involves too many interests and is strongly related to our ongoing important projects. The other party will not give up such a good opportunity."

"I don't know what method they will use, but it is clear that the risk of transferring so many people at the same time is too great."

"My suggestion is that everyone disband on the spot and fly to Chengdu on a civil airliner."

"During the process, a special escort can be arranged."

"Although this increases our risk of secrecy, it also sharply increases the cost of the other party's actions."

"They dare not blow up an entire plane for one person, it's not worth it."

After speaking, Chen Nian looked at Zhang Wangshui quietly, waiting for the other party's answer.

In fact, it was purely a subconscious reaction when he said "don't go to AH", because what jumped out of his mind was the serious accident in his previous life.

In his memory, that accident was inextricably linked to the research and development of the early warning aircraft, and it was precisely because of that accident that the development process of our early warning aircraft was delayed for at least three years.

Logically speaking, the situation they are facing now can be said to be exactly the same as that time.

Even, for the United States, the urgency is even higher.

So, who can guarantee that they will not use the same insidious means at this time?

So, Chen Nian spoke without hesitation.

Hearing his words, Zhang Wangshui nodded, and then said decisively:

"It's a very reasonable suggestion and we'll take it."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian was stunned.

"Are you sure you want to modify the plan?"

According to his prediction, Zhang Wangshui should first consider the credibility of his speculation before deciding whether to adopt it.

After all, if one follows one's own plan, it will further increase the difficulty of officials' control over personnel, which may even affect the confidentiality of the entire project.

However, Zhang Wangshui, who was sitting opposite, replied decisively:

"That's right. As you said, there are risks in the original transfer plan."

"Although it is only a very small risk, our expected loss is still very large compared to the possible losses it may cause."

"So, we have to be cautious."

Having said that, Zhang Wangshui paused for a moment, then continued to ask:

"In addition, we would like to ask, from your personal point of view, do you have your own speculation about possible accidents?"

"After all, according to your speculation, the accident is likely to be related to the aircraft. This is your specialty."

Chen Nian frowned slightly. He carefully recalled the memories of his previous life, but found nothing.

About that time, the publicly available information was incomplete, and even if there were hidden secrets in it, it was not within my reach.

Therefore, the suggestions he can make are extremely limited.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"I can't give an accurate guess."

"But I think it is very difficult to directly manipulate the aircraft. The key points may be on the ground staff, personnel, and random luggage and cargo."

"In these aspects, our control is relatively weak, and it will also give them more opportunities."

"I think you can organize a self-inspection and focus on troubleshooting the management loopholes in these modules."

Zhang Wangshui nodded solemnly and replied:

"Understood, we will carry on."

"In addition, I hope you will keep this matter secret for the time being - we may have further actions."

"clear."

Hearing Chen Nian's answer, Zhang Wangshui stood up and sent him and Yang Wei out the door. Then, he closed the door of the conference room, looked at another intelligence officer and asked:

"What do you think of this matter?"

The man shook his head slightly and replied:

"It's hard to say, Chen Nian's idea makes sense."

"But if this is the case, then the opponent's actions are a bit too aggressive."

"I doubt that, even if there is such an operation, is it their front-line personnel arbitrarily advocating, or our opponents have really gone crazy to this level."

"What do you think?"

Zhang Wangshui pondered for a moment, then replied:

"I lean toward the latter."

"Just like what Chen Nian said, the success or failure of this project is extremely critical to both of us."

"Under the circumstances, it's not surprising what they do."

"The only problem is, I can't figure out where there is a flaw."

"Me too."

The other said with a sigh.

"It's really not possible. We can only get through this crisis first, and then find ways to avoid it later."

"It doesn't make sense."

"It is impossible for us to transfer all personnel individually every time, which is too unscientific."

"It is better to catch a thief once than to prevent a thief for a thousand days. We must find out the loopholes."

"How to find it?"

Zhang Wangshui fell silent. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:

"Follow the plan!"

On the other hand, Sean and Bond's plan has been formulated and has entered the stage of full implementation.

In a very short period of time, all the forces in the country were mobilized, and they began to move forward step by step according to the course of action they designed.

The first to start is the "termination plan" for those returning scientific researchers.

According to Xiao En's arrangement, with the support of the May Meeting, all equipment and machinery suppliers related to airport logistics were quickly conquered, and the duo obtained relevant equipment supply information almost without encountering any obstacles.

But fortunately, all these devices need to go through a second inspection before entering the venue, and it is basically impossible to tamper with the devices.

So, they immediately turned their attention to the accompanying luggage and equipment that had been planned for a long time.

With the help of the customs, some equipment that should not have passed through the customs was exempted and successfully entered the port warehouse.

There, the equipment was well cared for - they even re-boxed the equipment.

Of course, a special double-layer hard box is used.

According to Bond's plan, if all goes well, then these packages that can't detect any abnormalities will be boarded on a transfer plane in China along with the equipment and target personnel.

Subsequently, due to the loss of the fixed arrangement order, the center of gravity of these packing boxes will continue to change due to the turbulence in the air, and finally enriched on one side of the aircraft.

Such a huge change in the center of gravity will bring great difficulties to the control of the aircraft.

If the effects of air currents, low temperature and other external conditions are added, their expected goals are likely to be achieved.

All they need is a little luck.

In addition to this plan, which they call the "final solution", the offensive of public opinion has also begun.

The first thing that was released was all kinds of gossip news about returned scientific researchers. The editors of these gossip news are not only familiar with various theories of communication, but also have a special understanding of "human nature", especially the "human nature" of Internet users in the new era.

They cleverly implanted various keywords in the report, such as "old cows eat tender grass", such as "cheating married wives", such as "teacher-student friendship".

Once these news were released, they immediately spread in Chinese Internet circles without even requiring them to take the initiative to promote them.

For a while, discussions about "strength" and "character" were rampant.

Netizens were sharply divided into two factions.

One group believes that scientific research is objective and independent of human subjective will, as long as results can be produced, there is no need to care too much about private life.

The other school of thought believes that public morality is not perfect because private morality is flawed, and that recruiting these people into the team is like planting a ticking time bomb.

The quarrel is endless, and even the most sensible netizens are involuntarily involved in this debate.

"If you guys think it's okay, then I hope that in the future, your friends, colleagues, and family members will be like that Zhang XX, cheating on other people's wives."

"Oh, no, maybe it's not someone else's wife who cheated, but your own."

"What you said upstairs is good, and the teacher and student are really disgusting. Such a person can actually return to the country and be accepted into our own team. Do you still have a conscience?"

"Aren't you afraid, aren't the young girls in the institute afraid? Disgusting!"

"Isn't it too much? He fell in love with his doctoral student during his Ph.D. supervisor, and it's not something prohibited by law. Is this also on the outline?"

"This can't be put on the line, when will it be on the line?"

"You Americans are open-minded, so be honest with the United States, and don't come to our side to spoil the atmosphere!"

The comments are posted one by one. If you have the heart to check, I am afraid it is easy to find that those netizens who use the banner of "for the good of the country" never seem to participate in the actual discussion.

They just seized the breaking point in the news and kept venting their emotions.

What's even more frightening is that this kind of pure emotional catharsis can gain the greatest voice in the entire Internet environment, and eventually force the group of people who think rationally to drop to the same level as them.

As a result, within a very short period of time, the event was replaced by emotions, and a wave of unusual public opinion frenzy gradually began to brew.

In this frenzy, it seems that everyone has forgotten one thing:

Are those reports true?

This is the consequence of forced choice.

If you ask a child if he wants to drink milk, he will most likely refuse.

But if you ask whether you want to drink from a blue or red cup, then he will definitely choose a color.

And today's netizens are children who are forced to choose a cup.

It's just that what they drink is not necessarily milk, but something dirtier

Under such circumstances, Li Xiang was almost insanely busy in Xigong University.

On the one hand, he had to deal with the pressure of public opinion brought by the gossip news, on the other hand, he even had to find ways to cover up the research and development project of Institute 611!

Because, at the same time as these news broke out, external media also released speculations about the 611 new project.

It seems that those news did not intend to conceal their intelligence sources at all, but directly pointed out that the new fighter development project of the 611 Institute was related to carrier-based aircraft.

And, in addition, they also analyzed that this carrier-based aircraft may adopt the STOVL mode.

As soon as the news came out, the already chaotic public opinion turned into chaos.

On every forum, different people are discussing these two topics.

Some people even connected "experts returning to China" with "611 new projects" and guessed the direction of J-20B research and development.

This made Li Xiang extremely dizzy.

Is it really necessary to show off the important secrets just to show off your little knowledge?

He really wanted to delete these posts, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Because if you do that, it will appear to be self-defeating.

Therefore, he had to spend a lot of time every day going online with those netizens, or the kind of cross-dressing.

"What STOVL, this is too nonsense, you say I can still believe in carrier-based aircraft, STOVL? What are you kidding? With China's aviation industry level, you still want to engage in STOVL?"

"Don't study hard, and finally come up with a Harrier, what's the use of that thing?"

After sending one, he immediately switched to a new account and continued to reply under his own account:

"Yes, these foreign media really take the 611 Institute too seriously. Do they think that the 611 Institute is Chengdu Lockheed Martin? They say that they can build airplanes?"

"Even Lockheed Martin, there is no news about making a STOVL fighter, right?"

"What the old Americans dare not do casually, how dare you do it in a big country?"

"What you said above is right. Now some people like to deceive themselves and others. They hear that the wind is rain, and you don't think about your match? With the release of a fourth-generation machine, you really think that everything will do, right?"

"If there is no technology accumulation and no infrastructure, do STOVL? What do you rely on? Rely on the touch of the upper and lower lips at the press conference? Go to bed early, and you can have everything in your dreams."

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't they bring back a group of experts from the United States? Maybe they can rely on foreign aid to save their lives."

Seeing more and more replies, Li Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This wind direction is reversed.

Otherwise, if "guesses" are turned into "facts" by means of public opinion on the Internet, many jobs will face unnecessary obstacles.

In this way, I can be considered to have contributed to the project.

——

But it's really not a good job to pretend to be a rebel, a reasonable person, and a well-known public.

You have done too much damage to your soul.

Li Xiang shook his head. He casually clicked on a news website and found that the TV program discussed in his department had already been launched.

A certain Mr. Zhang sat in a spacious and bright studio, talking to everyone:

"We have no plans for a new fourth-generation aircraft for the time being, and we don't know how the news got out."

"Don't talk about STOVL, we haven't even figured out how to play J-22 yet. What are we going to do with STOVL?"

"No, really not. There is indeed a project at the 611 Institute, but it's just some transformation of J-10 and J-8. It's not the same thing at all."

In this day and age, Mr. Zhang’s popularity and credibility are still very high. Seeing that even he has come forward to deny it, most people also agree with the statement that “the 611 Institute has no new projects.”

As a result, another group of "early-knowing parties" emerged on the Internet.

"I knew early on that there was no chance because we had no strength."

This is typical of their speech.

However, just as this set of thinking was gradually established in everyone's minds, the United States added fuel to the fire again.

"On October X, the U.S. Department of Defense announced the abandonment of the JAST program, the Advanced Joint Strike Technology Program."

"It is understood that the main content of the plan includes the research and development of a short-range, vertical take-off and landing fighter code-named F-35."
