Chapter 1713 Talent Harvester (Second update, please subscribe)
Geneva,
At the general airport, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the white Gulfstream aircraft on the runway.

Standing next to the Gulfstream aircraft, Professor Morozov looked at Ralph with a complicated expression.

He never thought that one day he would make such a choice. Actually, it cannot be said that way.

After all, like many people, he had fantasized about it, but it was just a fantasy.

But the person in front of him brought him an opportunity, an opportunity to turn fantasy into reality.

Faced with this opportunity, Morozov chose to seize it without even much hesitation.

Of course, the most important thing is that his family is also in Geneva, if they are in Moscow, that would be a different matter.

Thinking of his family, he turned his head to look at the plane. His wife and children had already boarded the plane and were waving at him through the window with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on their faces.

"Why me?"

Morozov finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his tone. He swept his eyes across Ralph's face, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Ralph smiled and said:

"Professor, this question is not really important. What is important is that you now have a brand new choice, an opportunity to change the fate of you and your family."

Morozov frowned, recalling the "chance encounter" at the Geneva hotel. At that time, he was enjoying dinner with his family, and Ralph suddenly appeared at their table, smiled and introduced himself - he was a staff member from the Gustav Hertz Physics Laboratory of SEA.

Morozov had a certain understanding of the Hertz Laboratory. It was a very famous laboratory all over the world, not only because of Gustav Hertz, the Nobel Prize winner, but also because the academic achievements made by the laboratory in the past 20 years were obvious to all.

Even in the Soviet Union, they were studying some of the academic achievements of that laboratory and had achieved some success.

The other party expressed his willingness to offer him a job - "If you are willing to accept this job, I can help you go to SEA."

At that time, Morozov's heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

He knew that this was not just a job, in fact, it was defection!
It was betrayal of his country, the country he had fought for.

What does defection mean?

It means that from now on he will stand on the opposite side of this country.

But he also knew that it also meant fighting for a better future for his family and himself.

There will be no need to queue in that future.

After a brief hesitation, he finally nodded and accepted Ralph's invitation.

He originally thought that the other party would prepare passports for him and his family, and then go to SEA as an asylum seeker, but he didn't expect that Ralph brought them to this airport.

This special plane will take him and his family to SEA!

Such treatment was beyond his imagination. After all, he was just an ordinary person, but he could be treated like this.

In the Soviet Union, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries had the opportunity to ride on their own private planes.

“I just don’t understand,”

Morozov whispered, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"Why me? I'm just an ordinary scientist. It's not worth your trouble."

Now Morozov was even a little worried, fearing that the other party was giving him too much and he could not give enough in return.

Ralph shook his head, with a hint of respect in his tone:
"Professor, you are too modest. Your achievements in the field of physical science have long attracted our attention. In SEA, you and your talents will be truly utilized and may even change the world. Therefore, we believe that all this is worth it."

In fact, Ralph didn't know why someone took this matter so seriously, so everything seemed so abnormal.

“It’s worth it…”

Morozov was silent for a moment, looking into the distance. Although it was just a simple sentence, it caused unprecedented waves in his heart.

After all, in his country, no one thought he was important or worthy.

He is not even as good as an ordinary foreign student. Not worthy of entering a high-end restaurant.

And now these people from foreign countries tell him - you are worthy.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, and his expression was changing at this moment.

A change that comes from deep within.

Was there ever a time when he worried about his choice, or even thought about whether it was right or wrong?
Even when he was getting in the car to the airport, he felt more deeply that there was no turning back.

But what about now?
At this moment, facing this sentence, the professor felt relieved.

"So, shall we set off now?"

Morozov asked, with a hint of determination in his tone.

Ralph nodded and made a "please" gesture:

"Yes, Professor. The plane is ready to take off."

Morozov took a deep breath and took a last look at the East. This was not the country he was familiar with, but from now on, he would say goodbye to everything there.

Then he turned around and boarded the plane. The cabin door slowly closed, the roar of the engine gradually increased, and the plane began to taxi on the runway. Ralph stood on the runway, watching the plane take off, with a satisfied smile on his face.

As a member of Hydra, he never cared about these missions. When they were given, the only thing he cared about was completing the mission.

Just like this operation, his mission was to send Professor Morozov and his family to SEA.

If the other party refuses, he will send the professor there.

After all, all that is required is to complete the task.

Fortunately, the professor was very cooperative.
-
After the plane took off, Morozov's son Ivan sat in his seat, looking a little uneasy. He turned his head, looked at his father, and asked in a low voice:
"Dad, why did we leave Moscow? Haven't we been living well?
And if we do that, we would be... betraying our country."

Morozov was silent for a moment in response to his son's question. He looked at the clouds outside the window and spoke with a hint of heaviness in his tone:
"You know, Ivan, I love my country very much, and during the war I fought all the way from Moscow to Berlin.

Only one-third of my classmates came back alive, and we thought, no, we believed that everything would be better after the war. But..."

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, Morozov said:
"Everything is different from what we imagined. I don't want to wait in a queue that will never see hope again."

Ivan blinked, seemingly not understanding what his father said, but he did not ask any more questions. At only sixteen years old, all he could do now was to obey his father's decision.

"Ivan, believe me, this is the best thing for both me and you."

The cabin fell into silence, with only the roar of the engine echoing in the ears.

Morozov's wife gently held his hand, with a look of comfort and support in her eyes. She knew that her husband's decision was for the future of the family. Although the road ahead was unknown, the whole family was full of expectations for the new life that was about to come.

Morozov looked at the clouds outside the window, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He recalled the days in Moscow, the ubiquitous hierarchy, and the suffocating oppression. He knew that he had made a difficult but extremely correct decision.

"We will have a new beginning,"

He whispered, with a hint of determination and hope in his tone,

“A better future.”

The wife nodded, tears in her eyes:

"Yes, we will have a new beginning."

Although Ivan didn't quite understand what his parents said, he could feel their determination and expectations.

He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and imagined his future life. Perhaps, there would be more opportunities and a broader sky.

The silence in the cabin was filled with a longing and expectation for a new life.

Although the future is uncertain, the whole family believes that this choice will bring them a brand new future.

……

After Professor Morozov and his family set out on their journey home, Li Yian received relevant reports from Hydra.

"Okay, I get it, you guys are doing a great job."

Such praise came from the heart. After all, it only took one month from the time he issued the mission to the time when the professor and his family were brought here from the other side of the screen by Hydra.

Such fruitful work is truly remarkable, given that it is on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

"By the way, our agent who was carrying out the mission in Moscow, has he not been exposed?"

After getting a positive answer, Li Yian nodded.

He had never asked how Hydra trained its agents. Now the war had ended for 22 years. Although the intelligence network left by Germany was inherited by Hydra, they had already aged as time went on.

So what about the new generation of agents?
How were they trained?
Although Li Yian was a little curious, that was all.

The secret intelligence service is secret because it is secret.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yian muttered to himself with a smile on his face.

"Okay, now that the professor is here, the problem with the Hall thruster will be solved soon."

Hall thrusters, this type of electric thruster can be used not only in space stations, but also in satellites, especially reconnaissance satellites. Reconnaissance satellites need to maneuver and change their orbits. Once the fuel is exhausted, it means that the life of the satellite is over. Hall thrusters that only require very little fuel can extend the life of the reconnaissance satellite to the greatest extent.

"From this point of view, Professor Morozov's research is worth at least tens of billions of yuan!"

In fact, it is far more than that. For example, the International Space Station consumes 7.5 tons of fuel every year, which is worth more than 2.5 million US dollars.

The Tiangong space station, which uses Hall thrusters, consumes only a few hundred kilograms of fuel each year, which is almost equivalent to saving a few small goals every year.

If we also consider the increase in lifespan due to maneuvering of reconnaissance satellites and orbit maintenance of ordinary satellites, as well as the significant reduction in satellite weight after fuel savings and the reduction in launch costs due to launching two satellites with one rocket, the money saved by Hall thrusters can be described as astronomical.

But...right now no one in the world can realize his role.

"So it's easy to bring him out from the other side of the screen. If it's someone else,

Li Yian knew the answer without having to think about it. If a well-known scientist wanted to take him and his family out of the Soviet Union in this way, it would be simply a pipe dream.

However, there are not many opportunities like this. After all, most of the time, the Soviet Union is very strict in its supervision of its scientists...
