Li Chen and Mou Wenjun, who was also confused, walked out of the conference room. They still haven't figured out what the center's decision is today. ￥f Just as Li Chen was planning to sit in Mou Wenjun's office and talk about what the center's decision meant, Old Tian's secretary suddenly found Li Chen first.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Tian asked you to go there immediately."

"Old Tian? He wants to see me?" Li Chen asked in surprise.

The other party nodded and told Li Chentian that he was waiting for him in the office now and just go in.

Although Mou Wenjun didn't know what Mr. Tian was looking for Li Chen, when he recalled today's meeting, Mou Wenjun vaguely felt that there should be something important to look for Li Chen. He patted his old friend's arm, and Mou Wenjun said goodbye first and left. Li Chen then followed Mr. Tian's secretary to the director's office and knocked on the door. When Mr. Tian's voice came from inside, he pushed the door and entered.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mr. Tian sitting on the sofa, while Lin Dong was sitting on Mr. Tian’s left hand, but Deputy Director Qi Xiaofeng was not there.

"Xiao Li, sit down!"

Pointing to the sofa opposite, Old Tian signaled Li Chen to sit down. Li Chen nodded politely and sat down directly, and then asked Old Tian directly what was wrong with him.

"Let you confirm two things with you," said Mr. Tian: "I remember the center's database shows that you are now mainly responsible for the physics research work at the 863 base, right?"

"That's right, before Director Su left, I was in charge of research in the base physics research room. However, the main research projects were arranged by Director Su at the time, and now most of them are still in the process of verification and experiments." Li Chen answered briefly, and at the same time felt strange, because this was not a secret at the 781 Center. The project progress is recorded and reported every month. As the director of the center, Mr. Tian can know by just checking the records.

Mr. Tian nodded slightly and then asked: "I remember your research project should have two aspects: ion and electromagnetics, right?"

“Yes, there are two aspects.”

"How is the current research progress?"

Li Chen immediately reported it. As the person in charge of the research topics of these two projects, he was certainly aware of the research topics of these two projects. Moreover, these two projects actually started when Su Yichen was there, and the theoretical aspects have been completed long ago. Now it is mainly about the development and improvement of practical aspects. Just when Li Chen talked about the theories one by one from the beginning of these two projects to the later theories, Mr. Tian waved his hand decisively and interrupted him: "Don't tell me these useless things, just tell me directly how far you have mastered these two technologies?"

"this……."

How could he master it? If Mr. Tian had not sat in front of him, Li Chen even thought that the person who asked him this was an amateur. The degree of mastery of a technology must be determined based on the scope of application of technology. For example, the most basic ordinary physics, its theory was determined a hundred years ago and was widely used in modern society. However, in the eyes of professional physicists and researchers, technology is still constantly improving. The current classical physics may one day be further or even changed due to certain factors, and thus develop to a higher level. Therefore, Mr. Tian’s words are really too amateur, which also surprised Li Chen.

"Xiao Li, Mr. Tian means whether these two technologies can be used in practice, especially in military use." Lin Dong explained on the side.

"What? Military?!" Li Chen suddenly widened his eyes and stood up.

"Fuss, sit down!"

Old Tian shouted in a low voice. Although Li Chen sat back, his face looked extremely ugly.

As a physicist, especially an expert in this field, Li Chen is certainly aware of the connection between science and military. Looking at the development of human history, every technological leap cannot be separated from the devil of war. Especially in the 20th century, in the First and Second World Wars, people often say that war promoted the development of science and technology, but the real situation can also be called technology that led to the outbreak of war.

Within decades, these two world wars have caused hundreds of millions of casualties around the world. Half of the earth has been in full swing, and the homes of billions of people have been destroyed. What is even more terrifying is that World War II also gave birth to a "devil" released from the magic box, that is, the birth of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the embodiment of modern human technological power, but they are also the ultimate human beings for winning the war and mastering their power.

After the end of World War II, relying on nuclear weapons and nuclear threats, the United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers at the two polarities, and had a cold war with each other for decades, and even created nuclear weapons that could destroy the earth dozens of times in order to target each other.

These are all lessons from the past. Once the devil of science is released, it is almost impossible to put them back into the bottle. Regarding the decision made by Mr. Tian at today's meeting, Li Chen's face suddenly became particularly ugly. He even doubted whether the existence of the 781 Center, including the current emergence of this series of advanced technologies, led to a change in the country's mentality and the idea of ​​planning to be powerful and fight for hegemony with the United States?

If this is not the case, why would he inexplicably build a large and comprehensive research institution, and he would do anything to do so? Now, Mr. Tian has clearly asked himself about the military use of these two technologies. How could Li Chen not be vigilant?

"Old Tian, ​​let him tell him about this. Maybe Xiao Li will not only think randomly, but also delay the progress of his work." Lin Dong saw suspicion and vigilance in Li Chen's expression, and sighed in his heart. As a scientist, he understood Li Chen's thoughts very well, and also understood his disgust from the bottom of his heart that directly links science to military and even war. Science is pure, and science serves mankind, not to create murderous weapons or even destroy mankind.

The chief attached great importance to the message sent by Su Yichen from Pluto, and soon held a secret meeting. At this meeting, the chief and some important leaders reached an agreement, that is, to carry out a series of military research on the 781 Center as the core department as soon as possible, and to prepare for the worst to wait for the arrival of the Southern Cross guests.

This decision was soon issued to the 781 Center, and only Mr. Tian, ​​Qi Xiaofeng and Lin Dong knew about the core content. The meeting held today is a decision on why the center and other institutions are necessary. What’s more important is that due to the tight time, while the merger work, some necessary research progress must be accelerated.

Li Chen was a member of the controllable thermonuclear fusion project team at that time, and was also the leading physics expert in 781 Center. Now he is the head of physics research at Base 863. He is very familiar with the follow-up research work of some theories that Su Yichen had already improved before leaving, and it is even indispensable for this work.

Because of this reason, Mr. Tian and Lin Dong discussed and decided to talk to him first to learn about the research progress of these two technologies. But who would have thought that when Li Chen heard about military issues, he became suspicious immediately. When he thought of Mr. Tian’s previous work, he became uncooperative.

In order to dispel Li Chen's concerns, Lin Dong proposed that Mr. Tian tell Li Chen the truth after considering it. Mr. Tian hesitated for a moment and looked back at Lin Dong with inquiring eyes. Lin Dong nodded affirmatively again, and then Mr. Tian sighed lightly.

"The following words are confidential. Xiao Li, although you are a researcher, you should also understand the discipline of confidentiality. These words must not be revealed. Even the person you are closest to is not allowed. Can you do it?"

Old Tian asked sternly. Li Chen didn't understand what Old Tian wanted to say, but his tone and expression made him feel uneasy. After thinking about it, Li Chen nodded solemnly and agreed. Then Old Tian began to tell the message that Su Yichen had sent back from the Pluto base. When he heard this news, Li Chen was shocked. He looked at Old Tian and Lin Dong incredibly, as if he wanted to find "this is a joke" from their expressions. But to his disappointment, neither Old Tian nor Lin Dong was joking with him, which means that this thing was completely real.

"Extra...Aliens?!"

Li Chen felt a little bitter in his heart. He had already understood the question of today's meeting and Mr. Tian just now. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
