Chapter 413 Transforming Nuclear Submarines
"That's it!" Wang Yang walked to the window and stood still and said, "I suddenly had a scientific research inspiration this morning!"
"?" Charles was suddenly startled and asked quickly, "What kind of scientific research inspiration is this?"
Charles knew that Wang Yang had excellent scientific research abilities. Even if you have no experience with F22 or photolithography machines, you can repair it!
"The scientific research inspiration this boy came up with must be amazing. Maybe he can develop something that will shock the world!" Charles secretly thought excitedly.
This is not because Charles thinks too much of Wang Yang, but because he knows what Wang Yang’s scientific research ability means!
"I thought of a scientific research inspiration about nuclear submarines. Therefore, I want to modify the scrapped nuclear submarine in the hands of the Navy according to my scientific research ideas!"
Modify a nuclear submarine? When Charles heard this, he was a little surprised that this was the request.
But after thinking for a while, he said: "Since you made this request, it means that you are somewhat sure that you can successfully modify the nuclear submarine. But..."
Charles frowned and pondered for a while, and gradually made a decision in his heart!
Then he said: "Mr. Lin, this matter is too big. I can't give you an answer for the time being. I need to hold a meeting with the Navy to discuss it. I will give you an answer after the meeting is completed."
"Okay!" Wang Yang responded.
He knew that Charles, an air force general, could not make the decision. First of all, nuclear submarines are weapons of the navy; secondly, nuclear submarines are very important weapons and equipment! So applying to modify it is not a trivial matter and requires the approval of multiple people!
"Then I'll prepare for the meeting now!"
"Yeah."
As soon as Wang Yang finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Wang Yang slowly put down the mobile phone in his hand, looked across the window lattice to the distant scenery, thinking silently in his heart: "The next step is to wait for a call back..."
……
Cut to Charles' office.
Charles also ended the call, feeling a mixture of excitement and doubt in his heart. He frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he reached for the landline and started calling the president to request an emergency meeting.
……
Time passed to the afternoon, and the atmosphere in Gong Bai's conference room was solemn.
Beside the rectangular conference table, the president sat at the head of the table, with many senior officials on both sides. They looked confused, curious about this sudden meeting, and wondered what would be discussed.
The president looked around for a week, and finally fixed his gaze on Charles and said softly: "Charles, come and explain the situation to everyone."
"Yes!" Charles nodded in agreement, and then went straight to the topic, "This morning, I received a call from Wang Yang, and he made a request."
When everyone heard this, their faces showed surprise, and they all cast curious glances, wanting to know what the request was.
"He said that he suddenly had a scientific research inspiration this morning, and he hopes to try to modify a scrapped Ohio-class nuclear submarine in the hands of the Navy." Charles said, turning his eyes to Admiral Brody Smith.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised. They did not expect that such a thing would happen. Surprised, they regained their composure.
One of the senior officials pondered for a moment and then said: "Wang Yang has amazing scientific research capabilities. If we agree to his request, we may be able to develop a more powerful nuclear submarine for our country. But this matter was too sudden. In just a few days, he Is it a bit strange to propose modifying a nuclear submarine? ”
“I share this concern,” another senior official echoed.
"Yes, something feels wrong!"...
Several senior officials expressed their doubts. They believe that although Wang Yang has outstanding scientific research capabilities, this incident is too sudden and makes people uneasy.
However, some senior officials hold different opinions: "I don't agree with you. The result of our previous discussion was to let Wang Yang adapt for a period of time before giving him a task. Now that a few days have passed, he may have adapted and wants to start a new life." research and development projects.”
"You're right! We can't treat Wang Yang like this, he is now a scientific researcher in our country!"...
Several senior officials believed that Wang Yang sincerely wanted to modify nuclear submarines for the United States and had no other intentions.
After hearing this, the president frowned and his eyes shone with wisdom.
He looked at Charles and asked, "Charles, what do you think of this?"
Upon hearing this, Charles glanced at the president and then at the senior officials present. After pondering for a moment, he said: "When I first heard about this, I was very excited. With Wang Yang's scientific research ability, since he made this request, it means that He was confident that the nuclear submarine would be modified to be more powerful. But then, I had concerns. As you just said, this matter was indeed too sudden."
He looked at the senior officials who expressed doubts, paused, and continued: "However, I think about it now. What else is wrong with Wang Yang now? He is no longer popular in China, so he can only stay here Our country works for us. Therefore, how can we not believe him? Furthermore, what will he think of us if we reject his request for scientific research? We have promised that we will do it as long as he needs it. Give support. Now, he proposes to modify nuclear submarines, how can we refuse? Do we want the world to see that the dignified world hegemon actually doesn't keep his word?"
Charles's words left those senior officials who had doubts speechless. Because everything he said was reasonable and impeccable.
After the president pondered for a moment, he turned his attention to Lucas Baker, President of the National Academy of Sciences, and asked: "Lucas, you are a scientist, what do you think of this?"
Lucas nodded, glanced at Charles and said: "There is an old saying in China that says, 'Don't doubt the people you doubt, but don't doubt the people you employ.' Since we have let Wang Yang become an American national, we should not doubt him anymore. Besides, this It's been a few days. If he really wanted to do something under the pretext of refitting a nuclear submarine, he would have brought it up long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. Also, if you are worried about Wang Yang and suspect that he made this request, what are you doing? When can we trust him? Three months? One year? Three years or five years? This is obviously unrealistic. We should let him start scientific research as soon as possible." >
Lucas' words were even more direct than Charles's. As a scientist, he hated the most when someone hindered scientific research.
These words made the senior officials who had doubts even more speechless, and some even began to think that what Lucas said made sense.
Wang Yang has become an American citizen, and sooner or later he will be allowed to engage in scientific research.
If you don’t trust him this time, when will you be able to trust him? You have to give him a chance to prove himself, right?
"I think Dean Baker is right." At this time, a senior official said.
"I think so too," another senior official echoed.
"..."
Everyone agreed.
When the president saw this, he felt reassured, so he looked at Admiral Brody Smith and asked: "Brody, you are an Admiral, what do you think of this?"
"Yes." Brody nodded and said, "I think what Dean Baker said makes sense. We should give Wang Yang a chance to prove his loyalty instead of sitting here and suspecting that he is guilty of something fishy."< br>
Brody believes that what Charles and Lucas said is reasonable, and that the nuclear submarine is still in the hands of his subordinate Thomas.
At that time, the core device had been dismantled in order to sell it to Wang Yang. However, due to a series of events, the transaction was not successful, and the nuclear submarine has been parked in the repair shop at the military port.
When the president saw that Brody also held the same opinion, he stopped talking and directly expressed his opinion: "Then let me tell you what I think. Wang Yang is a very powerful scientific researcher, and everyone knows this. Since he proposed to modify the Ohio-class nuclear submarine, it shows that he is confident that it will be modified to be more powerful. In this way, the power of our US nuclear submarine will be raised to another level, and the whole world will be shocked by it! That's a good thing! I think we should give Wang Yang this opportunity! However, we must be careful about others. I propose that Wang Yang be allowed to live in the naval base. This can not only monitor him, but also ensure the safety of the nuclear submarine. What do you think? ”
The president's eyes shone with wisdom, and he felt that his method was perfect.
Even if Wang Yang has second thoughts, the nuclear submarine and himself are both under the control of the US Navy, so what can he do?
When the senior officials present heard this, their eyes lit up. Even those senior officials who did not trust Wang Yang before felt that this method was feasible.
"I think so!"
"This is a good idea!" "..."
When the president heard the crowd's approval, he smiled slightly and said: "Then let's vote by a show of hands!"
After speaking, he took the lead in raising his right hand, and the senior officials on both sides of the conference table also raised their right hands, including Charles, Lucas, Xavier and Admiral Brody.
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"..."
Passed unanimously.
The president smiled with satisfaction and lowered his hand. But at this time, a senior official suddenly thought of something and frowned and said: "Since Wang Yang wants to modify the nuclear submarine, why don't we give him a nuclear submarine that is in service? Wouldn't this be better than giving him a scrapped and unusable nuclear submarine? Nuclear submarines are much better? Moreover, giving him a nuclear submarine in service can also show his sincerity!”
As soon as this statement came out, several people immediately echoed: "Yes! This is indeed the truth!"
However, Admiral Brody Smith shook his head and said: "The nuclear submarines in service all have their own cruise missions. Moreover, the modification will definitely take a lot of time. During this time, the cruise missions in the area will What to do?”
"..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked shocked.
Just now, everyone was still immersed in Wang Yang's heartfelt words. They thought it was quite reasonable and didn't think much about anything else.
However, Brody's words suddenly dawned on them.
Indeed, every nuclear submarine is responsible for cruising.
And the modification work cannot be completed overnight...
"Okay." The president said, turning to Brody, "Just use your scrapped nuclear submarine and let Wang Yang modify it!"
"Understood!" Brody readily agreed.
"Okay, arrange for Wang Yang to stay at the naval base tomorrow!" the president ordered.
……
After the meeting, Charles returned to the office and immediately dialed Aaliyah's phone number and asked her to transfer it to Wang Yang.
Then, he explained the results of the meeting to Wang Yang in detail and informed him that he would be sent to the naval base tomorrow to start the modification work of the nuclear submarine.
The call then ended.
Charles put down his cell phone, his face beaming with joy, and his heart was filled with anticipation, "I really don't know what kind of nuclear submarine this guy will build!"
He has full confidence in Wang Yang.
Since Wang Yang said so, then he will definitely be able to modify an excellent nuclear submarine!
……
The scene changes to Thomas's luxurious ocean view villa.
Aaliyah sat on an expensive carpet in front of a large LCD TV, holding the PS5 DualSense controller tightly in her hands. However, she was not immersed in the game at the moment, but turned to look at Wang Yang's back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Admiral James called just now and asked Wang Yang to answer it. They had been talking for a few minutes now, and Aaliyah had no idea what they were talking about.
Wang Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The call had ended, but there was a smile on his face and he was very excited inside.
"Successful! This reason really made them unable to refuse!"
Wang Yang had a hunch before that they would agree, because no country would refuse powerful and powerful military weapons, especially a country like the United States that has always aspired to dominate the world!
Although it was just a guess before, now that it has actually been agreed, Wang Yang is naturally very excited!
"The next step is the maintenance work! Huaguo, wait, I will go back sooner or later!" Wang Yang was filled with pride!
However, a few seconds later, he suddenly thought of something and his expression darkened.
After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and looked at the blond beauty sitting on the carpet in front of the TV, looking at him with doubts and curiosity in her eyes.
He walked towards Aaliyah, "Come on, let's continue playing games!" Wang Yang smiled, cleverly concealing the negative emotion in his eyes, and sat down next to Aaliyah.
Then, he picked up the DualSense controller on the ground and started to enter the game.
Aaliyah looked at him and instinctively sensed something was wrong. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end she held back...
……
As night fell, dinner was prepared by Wang Yang himself.
Aaliya originally wanted to fry steak, but after a "battle" in the kitchen, she lost and had to hand over the use of the kitchen to Wang Yang.
The table was filled with Chinese dishes, including fish, meat and prawns, and was paired with a bottle of red wine.
The two chatted while eating, laughing constantly.
At this moment, a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
The two people's joking stopped abruptly.
Wang Yang looked at Aaliyah, who took out her cell phone from her pocket and saw that it was a call from Major General Gary.
She looked stunned, and the doubts in her heart were even worse.
She looked up at Wang Yang and said, "Mr. Lin, Major General Anderson called me. I'll pick it up."
"...Okay." Wang Yang smiled and nodded.
Aaliyah stood up and walked aside to answer the phone, "Hello, this is Aaliyah."
"Alia, your mission is over. There is no need to monitor Wang Yang anymore. He will be sent to the naval base tomorrow!" Gary's order came from the mobile phone.
