"The accident at the Ras Lakhela plant may have affected the launch. Who is behind it?"

"With the rise of KBism, should major countries assume international responsibilities?"

"The Arab League claims that it will carry out devastating attacks on KB organizations in various countries."

"Afghan announced the issuance of special passes to Saudi and Pakistani mobile forces, allowing cross-border strikes against armed forces in the southern mountains after reports."

"Is it all the moon's fault? An in-depth analysis of the conflict between the lunar exploration plan and the beliefs of extremist organizations."

In a rural area in China, in front of an ordinary farmhouse, a man wearing a T-shirt and shorts was lying on a wicker chair, scrolling through his mobile phone with a leisurely expression.

Beside him, a woman with a pretty face and a bulging belly sat quietly, fearing that she would crush the child in her belly.

The two of them would chat for a moment or two from time to time, or get together from time to time to share new things they saw on their phones. Their parents, who were already slightly old, were walking back and forth in the large living room behind them. What are you busy with?

This scene could only be considered ordinary in any place, but the sign hanging on the lintel made this scene somewhat special.

"House of Glory".

"The home of second-class heroes".

You know, in this peaceful age, there has always been a saying about first, second and third class merit.

That is, third-class meritorious service can be obtained while standing, second-class meritorious service can be obtained lying down, and first-class meritorious service can be obtained by family members.

Even if it is a second-class meritorious service, it can only be obtained by paying a huge price and sacrifice. This also adds a layer of endorsement to the seemingly ordinary man on the recliner that is enough to make people fascinated.

However, while he is on family leave, he is actually no different from most husbands.

He was just scrolling through the shopping app on his mobile phone, choosing what he wanted to buy for the child in his wife's belly.

".Look at this, how about this?"

"Dinosaur suit! You can wear it in winter, it's an internet celebrity style, it's cute!"

The wife next to me came over to take a look and couldn't help but shake her head.

"What is this? Do you know how troublesome it is to put on and take off this kind of clothes? It can only be worn by internet celebrities when taking pictures. Have you ever seen any serious kid wearing this kind of clothes?"

"You are saying this as if those who wear this are not serious people. Then look at this."

"Don't look at it! Neither men nor women know how many pieces you bought!"

The woman snatched the man's cell phone, turned off the screen and stuffed it under her butt, and then continued:

"I can pick out my children's things myself. There is no need to buy so much, as long as it is enough."

"Moreover, many things don't need to be bought now. You have to wait until the child is born and then buy based on the specific situation."

"If you really want to buy it, just apply with the leader. Don't go out again when you return to the team. You can also take paternity leave by then."

"Otherwise, you won't be around when the child is born, what is this?"

The woman's tone was a little displeased. The man smiled, put his arm around her shoulders in a flattering manner, and said:

"Whether I can get out or not is not up to me. Now that the country is in need, can I not go?"

"I am the most experienced veteran overseas. When you go there, you still need me to lead the team. Otherwise, what will happen to those new recruits?"

"Overseas countries are no different from domestic ones. Every aspect is different. Someone still needs to hold the line, otherwise the mission will not be carried out."

"Show you what you can do!"

The wife retorted angrily, but did not continue to argue with the man.

In fact, no matter how rude she said, she knew in her heart that her husband really had his responsibility.

The original second-class merit plaque was obtained by him during his mission in South Sudan.

The evacuation of Port Sudan was extremely complicated in the early stage. It was he who led the team to resist the pressure of local armed forces and forcibly opened a way out, established a base at the port, and created conditions for warships to dock.

Without their advance team, the Chinese who evacuated from the capital would have to stay in the rebel camp outside the port for at least three more days, and no one can guarantee what will happen in three days.

Therefore, he is really useful, and those blue helmets stationed overseas really need him.

——

There's just one thing that women can't understand.

Isn’t there only one assignment cycle for blue helmets?

Why was he chosen again this time?

It's probably exactly what he said, someone needs to hold the line back.

She sighed secretly and her tone became gentle.

"When you get there, you have to pay attention to your own safety. When I go to the Middle East this time, I heard that the environment is completely different from Africa."

"Look at what the news said. The bad guys over there blew up our oil pipelines. I never heard you say such a thing when you were in Africa."

"And those people are different from those you have dealt with before. The rebels in Sudan are at least normal modern people. Why do they do this kind of thing in the Middle East just because we want to land on the moon? I simply can't help it. Imagine.”

"Be sure to be careful and wear your body armor!"

"I know, I know."

The man smiled and nodded, and then comforted:

"The situation is not as serious as you think. Today's media just likes to exaggerate."

"Actually, what happened in Qatar was just an accident - it is a serious tourist country and very safe."

"When we go there this time, we will just make normal garrison arrangements."

"Maybe it will be easier than in Africa? If you stay here for 6 months, you can catch up with the birth of your child when you come back."

His tone was relaxed, and there was a happy expression on his face that he had "got a big bargain." The woman didn't notice anything unusual, and the topic just slipped away.

However, the man knew very well that this foreign mission would never be as simple as his previous peacekeeping mission in Africa.

Because he already knew that the place he really wanted to go was not Qatar, but Pakistan.

Or to be precise, the northwestern border of Pakistan.

And their purpose of going is not just to perform ordinary tasks such as transporting supplies, distributing supplies, rescue and explosive disposal, engineering construction, etc. in the United Nations peacekeeping force manual.

But for the first time in history, it will assist the local military in "disposing" KB organizations active in mountainous and rural areas.

What is the method of disposal? Does it require our own side to be directly involved in the conflict? Is it possible that it will turn into some kind of "war"?

Men don't know this.

However, he believes that since the official has made this decision, there must be a reason for it.

As for me, as a soldier and a warrior, it is enough to just execute orders.

Thinking of this, he took a breath silently.

When he looked at his wife beside him, his eyes became extremely gentle.

In his opinion, this is also a special kind of "protection".

Yes, in this era, the direct threats faced by China are actually very few.

But if you want to live a better life, you always have to do more things

Chang'an, in the office.

Chen Nian has just completed the review of the implementation details of the LITV engine, which involves the specific parameters of the temperature control module during the solid-liquid conversion process.

According to the submitted plan, the sensitivity of the temperature control module has fully reached the design standard. However, what surprised Chen Nian was that, instead, there were several small and medium-sized errors in the control algorithm that should have been his best. Mistakes.

First, the designed cooling rate is too large and the cooling curve is too steep, which risks overreaction and excessive efficiency.

Secondly, the heating process is designed too conservatively. According to the calculation and simulation results, although it can barely reach the conversion critical point of metallic hydrogen fuel, looking at the system as a whole, it may cause insufficient fuel supply and affect the working thrust. .

Because of this plan, Chen Nian could be said to have given Li Bingzhong and Luo Wen a slap in the face. After all, this was an area they were solely responsible for.

After Li Bingzhong listened to Chen Nian's lesson honestly, he finally couldn't help feeling aggrieved and expressed his concerns on the spot.

Unlike Chen Nian's pursuit of a balance between efficiency and safety, his starting point is "safety is greater than efficiency."

After all, in his opinion, the Long March-9 itself has sufficient design margin. According to the performance parameters of the LITV engine, its transportation capacity is not only sufficient, but even "exceeding the standard."

In this case, instead of pursuing the "highest level" tuning, it is better to be conservative and prioritize engine stability.

Does this make sense?

According to normal logic, especially for a new technology, it still makes sense.

But it's different here with Chen Nian. He knows better than anyone how the LITV engine should be designed, and he also knows under what parameters it can definitely achieve a level of safety, reliability, and ultra-high efficiency.

Therefore, in Li Bingzhong's view, Chen Nian's overall demands are too radical.

In short, this is purely a matter of information gap. It is not easy to convince each other.

Fortunately, Chen Nian also had Xinghuo as his endorsement. In the face of absolute technical authority, Li Bingzhong finally accepted Chen Nian's opinion and agreed to readjust the algorithm of the temperature control module.

Looking at his leaving figure, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He never imagined that one day he would become something like a "scholar".

——

But it seems like I have always been that way?

Even at the very beginning, there were already such problems in the manufacturing process of the F119 engine.

In short, the results will prove everything.

He closed the report in his hand and rubbed his temples with his hands, running through the latest developments in his mind.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and then Chen Guo walked in.

"Are you resting?"

Chen Guo asked.

Chen Nian opened his eyes and replied:

"No, I just sent Li Bingzhong away."

"Really, these app developers are a bit stubborn. I told him for a long time but he didn't accept it. In the end, he took Xinghuo out to suppress him."

Hearing his words, Chen Guo laughed and said:

"That's because you are thinking too simply. From a technical point of view, there is certainly nothing wrong with your idea."

"But people have experienced many difficulties in administrative work, so they will subconsciously consider the so-called 'zz risk' issue."

"What if it fails? What if something goes wrong? Who will be responsible?"

"You have to understand them. After all, they all come from the poorest era, and their acceptance of 'trial and error' cannot be as good as that of the new generation."

"To give you the simplest example, Guo Qi told me the other day that the young people in the laboratory are not merciful at all when using materials. Ma Fei furnace can't wait to keep burning all day long, regardless of whether it is useful or not. Let’s light up the stove before we talk.”

"It's not like they were at that time. If the laboratory used more electricity, it would take a long time to feel distressed."

"Then the way of thinking must not be changed, forget it, let's not talk about this."

Chen Nian waved his hands helplessly, and continued:

"The preparations for Chang'e-3 have basically been completed, and the launch will only take a week or two."

"What do you think above? Are you really going to delay the launch because of Las Lakaila?"

"Will not."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo immediately replied:

"Although what happened in Las Lakaila was unexpected, it was basically within the project design margin."

"We have three alternative supply chains. Even if the Ras Lakaira and Hefei plants can't catch up, the original fuel stock is enough to support the launch."

"Ten thousand steps back, the most is to return to the liquid hydrogen solution. Anyway, this time it is just a way to explore, and there is no plan to transport equipment on a large scale."

Chen Nian nodded slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked:

"So, this incident really has nothing to do with us?"

His expression was curious and a little worried, because he was really afraid of hearing an answer like "It was indeed us" from Chen Guo's mouth.

It's not because he's a virgin or has any mysophobia, but because in his opinion, if one of his own people really designed this incident, it would be too rough.

However, Chen Guo's answer was firm.

"I can guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us."

"In fact, we did design a set of plans for the Middle East. It is the plan that Li wanted to tell you before, to mobilize the Arab League."

"But before we even had a chance to kick it off, what happened with Las La Keira happened."

"It can only be said to be a coincidence. Whoever the other party was, they did pass the knife into our hands."

"Now, even if we don't answer, it's unlikely."

"This is dangerous."

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relieved.

"That's right, so the upper echelon also attaches great importance to it."

"There are probably only a few organizations in the world that can accurately identify this pain point and have such execution capabilities."

"We are stepping up our investigation and will find them no matter what their intentions are."

"Within a week, after the launch of Chang'e-3, there should be results."

"That's good."

Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then suddenly laughed again.

"Maybe it was Lao Maozi who did it? Their PMK has been active in the Middle East."

"There is a possibility, but no motive."

Chen Guo shook her head.

"You can't say that they are so kind and want to accelerate our strategy in the Middle East, right?"

"Perhaps we want to accelerate our global strategy?"

Chen Nian answered subconsciously.

After saying this, the two of them suddenly froze on the spot at the same time.

Then, the two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

If it was really Lao Maozi, then this matter would be a big deal.
