Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 912 lingering fears

The next day, Zhou Tian got busy as soon as he arrived at the office. With the idea that the sooner the problems at the base could be solved, the sooner his wife could be transferred here, he worked particularly hard today.

At around ten o'clock, he finished dealing with the trivial matters of the entire base, and then left the command area with Liu Yuan and Zhao Gang and headed towards the technical area. In the past few days, Liu Yuan and Zhao Gang have become accustomed to following the commander-in-chief to visit various areas in private. Although they don't know why the commander-in-chief is always obsessed with making secret visits to various areas, they also know what the commander-in-chief's purpose is.

However, they knew clearly what to ask and what not to ask, so they did not ask questions randomly.

When they arrived at the technical area, the three got out of the car. Zhou Tian and the other two changed into ordinary technicians' clothes and then walked towards the technical area.

"Stop, this is a military area, no entry for outsiders, please show your ID!"

Before they entered the technical area, the three were stopped by the security guards at the entrance of the technical area.

"Hello, the three of us are new technicians assigned to the technical area. Here are our credentials!"

Faced with the obstruction of the security department, Zhou Tian seemed to have expected it. He directly took out three work permits, handed them to the other party, and said calmly.

"Oh?"

The security guard took the ID from Zhou Tian, looked at it doubtfully at first, then looked at the three people, compared them for a long time, and then waved his hand and said, "Let them pass!"

As he said that, he handed the certificate back to Zhou Tian and made way for them. The three of them then walked into the technical area one by one.

Entering the technical area, the three of them looked at the technicians in white coats walking hurriedly in the yard to various laboratories. For a moment, they had different expressions on their faces. Zhou Tian's eyes were filled with some sighs.

After all, no matter what, this is the backbone of a country. Unfortunately, the enemy is still determined to destroy us. If Jiang Tian’s story is really confirmed, there will probably be unrest here soon.

"Commander-in-Chief?"

Just as Zhou Tian was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him, which made him slightly stunned and a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

"It's bad to meet someone I know!"

"Commander-in-chief, is that you?"

He was wondering whether to respond when he saw an old man walking up to him from behind, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.

"Lao Liu, it's you!"

Helplessly, he could only look at the person who came, and it turned out to be Professor Liu from the Fifth Research Institute.

"Commander-in-chief, why did you come here without even saying hello?"

When Professor Liu saw that it was the commander-in-chief, the surprise in his eyes became even stronger, but when he saw Liu Yuan and Zhao Gang beside him, he asked with some confusion.

"Didn't your technical department apply for several research projects on rockets and satellites a few days ago? I happen to have some time today, so I wanted to come and take a look privately!"

Since he had been discovered by Professor Liu, he knew that he could no longer hide the fact that he came to the technical area privately, so he spoke frankly.

"Great! It just so happens that we just encountered a problem in studying the efficiency of rocket propulsion. I was planning to ask for help from other groups. Now that you are here, I don't have to ask for help anymore!"

"I wonder if the commander-in-chief can help us take a look!"

Professor Liu immediately made an invitation. In fact, compared to asking other groups for help, he hoped to get guidance from the commander-in-chief Zhou Tian. He still remembered that Zhou Tian’s contribution was indispensable to the rapid development of various projects of the Fifth Research Institute.

"Well, let's go!"

Although he really wanted to tell Professor Liu the purpose of his visit to the technical area, after thinking about it, he temporarily suppressed this idea. After all, it was not appropriate to alert the enemy now. He could only smile bitterly inwardly and followed Professor Liu into the Rocket Experimental Research Institute.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhou Tian and the other two walked out of the laboratory. Everyone's face showed a trace of fatigue, but unlike Liu Yuan and Zhao Gang, although Zhou Tian looked tired, there was a gleam of joy in the depths of his eyes.

After meeting Professor Liu, he had already given up any hope for today's operation, but he never expected that when he was explaining rocket propulsion to a group of technicians, he would actually run into Jiang Tian.

Moreover, through Jiang Tian, he discovered a new suspect, who was none other than Professor Zhou Tan, the third in command of Professor Liu's team and also of the rocket and satellite R&D team.

Thinking back to Professor Zhou Tan's resume, he couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity. Professor Zhou Tan graduated from the Department of Aerospace Propulsion of Bald Eagle University. As early as when he was studying abroad in Bald Eagle, he had already become famous in the aerospace field due to his own efforts.

According to his resume, he returned to China last year, in 1964. Since China lacked talent in the aerospace field, as soon as Professor Zhou Tan returned to China, he was directly appointed as one of the leaders in the aerospace field.

He didn't expect that he would be related to Jiang Tian, but then he remembered that these people all graduated from the Bald Eagle Country, and he felt relieved in an instant.

It's a pity to waste such a talent as him.

In fact, if he did not possess divine awareness, he himself would probably not even realize that Jiang Tian and Professor Zhou Tan had any connection. The most important thing was that the two of them did not seem to have any communication at all on a daily basis.

But who could have thought that Professor Zhou Tan would be Jiang Tian's superior.

"It seems like we should go back and have someone investigate the international students who have returned from Bald Eagle in recent years!"

Through today's discovery, he also realized that it was time to change his strategy of investigating these people. Although tracking Jiang Tian was indeed a solution, it would take too long to determine the exact number of people in this organization.

Thinking of this, the three of them left the technical area, got in the car, and returned to the office in the command area.

As soon as he returned to the office, Zhou Tian couldn't wait to ask Liu Yuan to go to the archives to get all the files of the international students who returned to China in the past ten years, and he began to look through them one by one.

The more he read, the more frightened he became, because he was shocked to find that there were thirty international students who returned from studying in Bald Eagle last year alone, not counting the numbers from previous years.

Moreover, these people are already spread across all research bases in China. In addition to the students returning from Bald Eagle, there are also students from England, the big brother, adding up to more than a thousand people.

"Good boy, no wonder, no wonder!"

Only after he had looked through all the international students' files did he close his eyes with lingering fear. At the same time, a chill ran down his back.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked. You wouldn't have thought that in just over a decade since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of our country's scientific research bases have been controlled by these people. Although he did not deny that many of them were true patriots, this was too dangerous. At this time, he had a new understanding of the above policies.

"It seems that my original idea was a bit narrow-minded. No, I can't control other places. Since I have become the commander-in-chief of the base, I must be responsible for the safety of the base!"

After a long time, he opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
