Chapter 384: It's You Again?

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 structure of all lasers is 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 shocked by the precision and complexity of this instrument.

Just a fiber optic combining device, if it is to be written as a document, even if it is the simplest description, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a hundred or so pages

No way, can only take time to grind slowly.

So in the next few days, except for the routine study and discussion with the Huorong team, Chen Nian almost completely entered a closed state, focusing on his laser.

His life once again entered a flat period, but the undercurrent surrounding him never stopped.

Chang'an.

Bloomberg sat in his office, staring closely at the task relationship diagrams on the wall.

In the past period of time, he has sorted out the connection between all Huaxia's major breakthrough projects in recent years and the university of Xigong University.

The situation was more complicated than he thought. In addition to the professor named Chen Guo who was targeted at the beginning, he found a list of as many as 12 "risk personnel".

These people are located in various fields, and the project relationships involved are also intricate. It is indeed not easy to determine a 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 there are very few data that can be found through civilian transportation.

He originally wanted to determine the next breakthrough directly through the simplest way of "finding the intersection", but after looking around, he found that there was no reliable intersection between these people at all.

Maybe at some point, two of the 12 people will be in the same place, but after spending a lot of effort to trace the source, it turns out that they just joined the same tour group during the holidays, and even the photos were posted on On the public platform, it has nothing to do with any academic content at all.

In this case, Bloomberg has gradually lost patience.

He refocused his attention on Chen Guo who was discovered by his intuition, followed his "resume" and sorted it out step by step, trying to find the key nodes that he had missed.

In 2003, Chen Guo was still teaching at Xigong University.

Then, between 2003 and 2004, his teaching hours dropped sharply.

Regarding this change, the official explanation is that he participated in the theoretical research on the aerodynamic design of the J-22 project, so he frequently travels in Liaoning.

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 about this matter.

But strangely, after the end of the J-22 project, Chen Guo's teaching hours did not resume.

He seems to have just finished one project, and then devoted himself to the work of another project.

J-20?

There is this possibility.

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 used to be classmates.

After several years of silence, the other party suddenly resolutely chose to return to China, and Huaxia used the reconnaissance planes, electronic jammers and crew members that were very important at the time to exchange. This must have been promoted by some "acquaintances".

Otherwise, in that tense situation that can be said to be dangerous, it is impossible for the other party to risk his 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, his relationship with the real organizer should be very close.

But at this point, Bloomberg is still unable to 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 decreased. He seems to have been transferred from the teaching position and started to specialize in the research and development of new equipment.

But the problem is that there is basically no need for him to participate in all subsequent large-scale projects.

The evolution of unmanned aerial vehicle is based on the existing technical basis of J-20 and J-22. The H-20 mainframe and fighter design can almost be said to be two paths, and it is within the possible project cycle of 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 should never have left Chang'an during such a critical period.

But the question is, if he is not the core personnel of this project, then what is he doing?

No way, he is crossing borders to do the No. 001 aircraft carrier project, right?

This is simply a fantasy.

No matter how good a genius is in this world, it is impossible to play a role in two completely different directions at the same time. This is an unbreakable objective law.

Bloomberg once again fell into confusion, long reasoning, at this moment it seems to have returned to the original point.

He sighed for a long time, and sat back on the sofa helplessly.

"The other party's confidentiality work is done very well, which shows that there are only two possibilities for the outcome."

"Or, the legendary organization doesn't exist at all. They just got lucky and just happened to usher in breakthroughs in all fields."

"Or, the level of secrecy of this organization is higher than we thought, making it impossible for us to start."

Hearing his words, the assistant on the opposite side shook his head, and replied with some amusement:

"You seem to have said a piece of nonsense that can never be wrong."

"But the fact is that this is nonsense. Don't you think that what we are doing is just a waste of time?"

"What if we find this organization? Are we going to clean up the members of the organization one by one? Or are we going to blow up their headquarters?"

"...Maybe they will actually do it."

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, it's just that we couldn't find it."

"I was thinking, can we apply for higher authority and dig down another layer of his interpersonal relationship?"

"Maybe there is only a thin line between us and the truth, maybe what we lack is just the next name."

"I can't do it."

The assistant shook his head and replied:

"We've activated almost all the upper-level relationships, and even some people-you know, their status is as high as we can touch."

"But even such a person can provide limited effective information."

"It's impossible to solve the problem in a simple way, we can only explore slowly."

"Maybe, we can start with the people around him? I mean, besides the family members who are under special protection, he always has contact with other people."

"Even an ordinary shopkeeper may bring us unexpected clues."

"Then we'd have to spend more time. It's dangerous for us."

Bloomberg frowned and continued:

"We've been targeted. The only reason why you and I can sit here safely is that they haven't got enough evidence yet."

"Every second I go on, it's an unnecessary risk for me."

"You know, some of our 'friends' have begun to lose patience and plan to use more radical methods."

"Even if we don't have problems ourselves, they may drag us down."

The assistant nodded silently.

He knew it was true.

Although the method has not yet progressed to the level of violence and illegality, just two days ago, someone was ready to make a move and was caught.

As the tasks continue and the pressure continues to mount, things like this will only increase.

But if you give up

"Are you willing?"

Bloomberg shook his head and replied:

"It didn't turn out of my own will -- well, I'll try one last time."

"Let's start the investigation, 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.

Liu Hai on the opposite 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 the concept of 7 years? At that time, my office didn't even exist, and I was just a small employee running a business."

"At that time, I had to meet at least ten strangers every day, and maintain relationships with dozens of clients."

"Yes, what you're talking about, um, Professor Chen Guo, he does look like an important client, but I have contacted no less than a hundred of such important clients."

"Actually, I want to say that it would be strange if I still remember him now."

"But you remember your job well."

"It's just a vague memory."

Liu Hai spread his hands, his eyes did not change at all.

Just a few minutes ago, Bloomberg found himself again, and his purpose of coming this time was very simple, to inquire about a person.

Chen Guo, this Liu Hai once spent a lot of time to get close to, but finally returned without success, how could he not have an impression?

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 didn't impress me.

However, the reason why he didn't tell the truth was because the moment Bloomberg walked into this office, he already felt that something was wrong.

During this period of time, their demand for "high-end talents" seems to be too strong.

And just last time, he just helped Bloomberg get in touch with the "advanced energy materials" talent they needed. Not long after, Huaxia disclosed information about metal hydrogen.

This made him understand that Bloomberg's motives are definitely not as pure as he said.

They don't want people, they want information.

And such things are generally called stealing secrets.

Although Liu Hai is greedy for money, he also knows that some money is not something he can get.

On top of conventional means, he didn't feel guilty about throwing out some talents and doing some pure intermediary business, after all, it was someone else's own choice.

But do this?

This thing is treason, not to mention whether you can live if you are caught, this crime is enough to shame your grandparents and grandchildren for more than a dozen generations.

Therefore, after receiving the money, he distanced himself from Bloomberg almost non-stop, and even reported Bloomberg anonymously to the authorities, 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 to have no intention of giving up.

After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"I still wish you would do me a favor and at least think again."

"This person is very important to us. He is a big deal. If we can negotiate it, you will definitely be paid a lot."

“Even we don’t need much information——his hobbies, his relationships, what he’s doing, where he’s most likely to meet him. In short, we’ll pay for all useful information that can connect him money."

Bloomberg deliberately pretended to be sincere, as if he really planned to use the information to find favor with Chen Guo, so as to lure him to his employer.

But in fact, he wanted this information just to further screen out useful breakthroughs, continue to improve Chen Guo's social relationship, and thus complete his "interpretation".

But the bangs on the opposite side were extremely firm.

"Bloomberg, I'm afraid you really found the wrong person this time."

"To be honest, I don't know anything about this person, and the previous information has long been lost."

"If you really want it, you might as well go to Senas directly. There may still be KOC information in their database."

"We've already found it."

Bloomberg carefully examined Liu Hai's eyes, as if wanting to confirm that he was not lying.

It lasted for several seconds before he finally chose to give up.

"Okay. The money has to be earned by others."

"Goodbye my friend."

After all, Bloomberg got up and left.

Liu Hai didn't see him off, but immediately picked up the phone after he walked out of sight, and played the number he had memorized by heart.

12399.
