Scholars in the courtyard

The attitudes of Chen Fang and others say it all.

As Pavel said, only with electricity can machines be driven and industry be developed.

The main source of domestic electricity is thermal power.

Not to mention pollution or anything like that, just talking about efficiency, every power plant consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

Electric energy has become an important link restricting revolutionary construction.

If nuclear power plants are successfully built, the current power supply situation can be greatly improved.

With electricity, industry can take off.

The people have light.

"You can continue the discussion this afternoon, but don't talk about 'space-based weapons' for now."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Chen still couldn't make up his mind.

He needs to discuss this with his superiors.

Of course, it would be great if we could exchange this technology for "space-based weapons."

If all else fails, just send them some black bird carcasses.

There's no need to study it together, just take it and play with it by yourselves.

We just want nuclear power plants.

At this moment, Mr. Chen has made up his mind to get this nuclear power plant.

"clear."

As soon as they heard it, they knew what Mr. Chen was planning.

If you can trick yourself into giving away this "big gift", you'll be killing two birds with one stone.

Not only can they trick the other party into going down the wrong path, but they can also receive a big gift. If they succeed, they will wake up with a smile in their sleep.

Several people left to prepare for the afternoon's 'exchange discussion'.

Mr. Chen returned to the office, picked up the phone and made a call.

When the thin old man received the call and learned about the situation, he was also shocked.

He also didn't expect that the alliance would be willing to spend so much money for a plane.

Of course, the alliance will definitely have a backup plan.

But this is a timely help for the domestic nuclear power plant research which is a blank sheet of paper.

With this information, domestic experts can embark on their own path, just like the mushroom egg research back then.

"Old Chen, you have to get this thing."

"You must get it."

The thin old man said this very seriously, but he also warned, "However, our bottom line will not change. The Baiju plane is our only weapon that can deter the other party at the moment, and we must not give it to them."

"Even if we break up."

After listening to this, Mr. Chen nodded solemnly, "I understand, so I plan to take out the space-based weapons."

"I originally wanted to leave them alone for a while, and then 'helplessly' take them out at the last minute, but now it seems that I won't be able to wait until then."

When he said this, Mr. Chen's tone became relaxed, "I'm just afraid that if we take it out so early, the other party will suspect that we have ulterior motives."

The thin old man laughed and said, "They have taken out all the treasures from the bottom of their boxes. It's normal that we can't resist the temptation."

“Hahaha, that’s right.”

"But I'm afraid this little bit won't be enough to intimidate the other party. Do you want to increase the stakes?"

When Elder Chen expressed his concerns, the thin old man frowned and thought for a moment, then thought of something, "It's impossible to play all the cards at once."

"You guys talk first, and if we can continue, we'll play other cards."

Chen Lao responded, then asked suspiciously, "Other cards? Which one?"

But for now we still have to take it step by step, and maybe Yang Xiaotao really needs to take action.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Pavel did not see Mr. Chen. Although he did not say anything, he was secretly happy in his heart.

The other party must be moved.

Since Mr. Chen didn't come, Pavel naturally wouldn't attend the meeting.

A man returned to his residence and asked his secretary to do something.

The room is filled with the scent of love.

Pavel lay on the bed, marveling at the magic of Chinese medicinal wine.

It is said that this palace jade wine can only be enjoyed by the emperor. It is said that the emperor's harem has three thousand rooms, and there is a concubine in each room.

At first he thought it was an exaggeration, and no matter how strong a man was, he couldn't withstand such torture.

But now, he believed it a little.

As for this Imperial Jade Wine, any man would try it.

"Sir, are you still going to the meeting?"

Alyosha cleaned up the situation and sat aside waiting for a reply.

Pavel waved his hands while lying on the bed, then reached out and held the other person's hand, "No need to go, the other party needs time to think about it and discuss it."

After saying that, he exerted force on his hands, and Alyosha stepped forward obediently, and then under the man's vanity, he said proudly, "Do you know what chips I brought this time?"

Pavel asked with a smile.

Alyosha shook his head, "Sir, I don't want to know!"

"Because knowing too much is not a good thing for me."

Alyosha's answer was beyond Pavel's expectations, but he reacted quickly. She was indeed a perfect swallow, sensible and knowing when to advance and retreat.

"Don't worry, it won't be a secret soon."

Pavel said indifferently that after all, it was such a big matter and they would need the cooperation of these experts in the future, and they would know the answer sooner or later.

Moreover, once the two parties confirm their cooperation, the alliance will announce the news to let people all over the world know that the alliance's strength will be enhanced again.

Hearing this, Alyosha just leaned forward, and Pavel smiled and told her about the nuclear power plant and the Baiju fighter jet.

Alyosha found it a little unbelievable. In her opinion, exchanging nuclear power plant technology for aircraft technology was a bit of a waste of talent.

Seeing Alyosha's expression, Pavel guessed what she was thinking, and then explained in a low voice, "Actually, we don't pay much attention to the design."

"What we mainly want is the other party's smelting technology for special alloys, especially titanium alloys."

"A metal that can enable aircraft to reach Mach 4. If we master this metal, the strength of the alliance will achieve a qualitative breakthrough."

Pavel told Alyosha his real purpose, and she bit her lip and nodded.

With his fluffy golden hair pounding against his chest, Pavel felt that the remaining medicinal wine in his body seemed to be taking effect again.

A night passed, and the next day, the meeting proceeded as usual.

Chen Fang's team faced off against Sakharov's team again, but today the situation was obviously much more "gentle".

Obviously, both parties know that they are just a foil here, and the real decision will have to be made through negotiations with their superiors.

In the small conference room, Mr. Chen and Pavel sat opposite each other again.

Pavel was dressed in a formal suit, but his eyes looked a little dark, and he kept drinking water from the cup.

This action made Mr. Chen a little confused.

Judging from their age, the other person should be two years younger than me, so why is he so weak?

However, Mr. Chen didn't take it to heart and started to follow his own plan.

"Mr. Pavel, we are very grateful for the alliance's help."

"We both share common ideals and goals"

“Allies should unite and work together.”

“We are facing many difficulties at the moment, but we are confident that we can overcome them. However, we also need certain support and help from the alliance.”

Mr. Chen spoke while drinking tea, his voice full of sincerity and his expression even more earnest.

Pavel felt something was wrong halfway through listening. Why?

Because many of the words here are what he said yesterday.

Then, I was speechless.

What does this mean?

I didn’t even dare to think about getting it for free, but this guy actually wanted to get it for free?

How brave!

Then Pavel fell silent.

He made up his mind that he should either exchange it for the complete set of technology of Baiju fighter or not talk about it anymore.

Near noon, seeing Pavel dealing with him, Mr. Chen pretended to be in pain, gritting his teeth and cutting his flesh.

All of this was seen by Pavel.

At this moment, Pavel felt that success was imminent.

"Mr. Pavel, we have a technology that you might be interested in."

Pavel was stunned, then frowned, feeling unhappy.

Do you have a technology?

What do you mean? You still don’t want to use the technology of the Baiju fighter.

Besides, what other technologies of yours do we value?

Or do you still want to get it for free?

Just when Pavel was very unhappy, Mr. Chen lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if you have ever heard of space-based weapons."

Pavel frowned tightly, "Space-based weapons? What are those?"

Elder Chen lowered his voice again and whispered, "It is a weapon that is fired directly from outer space and is as powerful as a mushroom bomb."

Pavel's face was frozen.

How come he has never heard of a weapon comparable to mushroom bombs?

Moreover, the name, space-based weapons, has something to say.

"You, tell me more?"

"Forget it, I'll let the professionals tell you."

Mr. Chen knew that if he said too much, he might be exposed, so he prepared to let Chen Fang explain.

They are professionally matched.

After saying that, Mr. Chen called the secretary who was waiting at the door and gave him a few instructions before going back into the house.

"Pavel, this is definitely a great discovery for us and a great exploration for our scientific community."

Old Chen turned around and continued to brag about the power of space-based weapons, which made Pavel stunned.

After a while, Chen Fang knocked on the door and walked in with a document in her hand.

This was discussed before.

"Chief."

Chen Fang came in and greeted him. Old Chen nodded and introduced him to Pavel, "Comrade Chen Fang is the director of the research laboratory of our Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is also the director of satellite aerospace. He is responsible for the research and development of space-based weapons."

"Hello, Mr. Pavel."

Chen Fang greeted him in fluent English, and Pavel came to his senses and immediately greeted him in English.

Then his eyes turned to the documents in the other person's hand.

But he didn't rush to ask, but walked to the door, "Alyosha, call Igor Sakharov over."

Alyosha turned around immediately and went to look for Igor Sakharov.

She knew that things were about to come to a head.

After a while, Igor Sakharov and Alyosha walked into the conference room.

Pavel just glanced at Alyosha's presence and said nothing more.

Mr. Chen had no objection to this.

"Sakharov, please take a look at this document."

Pavel didn't say anything polite and directly handed the document on the table to Igor Sakharov.

Sakharov picked up the document, which was written in both languages ​​and did not look difficult to write.

So Sakharov watched carefully.

At the side, Old Chen and Chen Fang looked calm, but their hearts were tense.

After reading the beginning of the principles section, Pavel saw Sakharov's hands shaking, and then he flipped through the pages faster and faster.

Three pages, finished quickly.

But everyone in the room could see the unsatisfied look on the other person's face.

"Crazy, so crazy."

"It's just crazy and insane."

Sakharov held the three pages in his hands and said "crazy", but his expression was just as crazy.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen and Chen Fang felt relieved.

This first level has been passed.

"Igor Sakharov!"

Pavel emphasized his tone, wanting to hear his direct answer.

Sakharov ruffled his curly hair, then returned to normal, revealing the unique temperament of a scholar.

"Sir, this is a very, very, very crazy idea."

"I can't judge the final result, but I can guarantee that if it is as described above, this space-based weapon uses the kinetic energy of falling from space, the destructive power it will produce will be astonishing."

"If we can reach a terminal velocity of Mach 30, you can imagine an asteroid of the same size hitting the Earth at a speed of 10,000 meters per second."

Igor Sakharov did not continue speaking, but just sighed in his heart, why couldn't he think of it?

At this moment, the entire conference room was completely silent.
