32: Conducting a million-person experiment on a nuclear reactor
Just after the spies were taken away, the cars of the Naval Commander and the Air Force Commander arrived outside the military base.
"Stop, stop! No entry here!"
Seeing vehicles approaching, the soldiers guarding the base's gate became alert, raising their guns and pointing them at the cars that arrived one after another.
"It's us!"
The Naval Commander, the Air Force Commander, and Li Xiangyang got out of their cars.
"It's the Naval Commander and the Air Force Commander. Go inform Colonel Lin Yun." The officer in charge of guarding the gate turned his head and said apologetically, "Everyone, please wait outside for a moment."
Seeing that the arrivals were the Air Force Commander and the Naval Commander, Everyone lowered their guns, but they still did not let the three of them enter the military base.
The three of them said nothing about it, just nodded. After all, a great figure, Zhang Yuanhang, was currently residing in the military base.
"What?!"
"The Air Force Commander and the Naval Commander are here?"
Colonel Lin Yun was a little surprised to hear his subordinate's report. How did these two think of coming to Mountain City?
"Let's go, let's go!"
Colonel Lin Yun jogged to the gate and saw the Naval Commander, the Air Force Commander, and others standing at the entrance.
"Let the leaders in!" Colonel Lin Yun turned to the soldiers guarding the gate and said.
"Yes, Comrade!"
After receiving the order from their superior, the soldiers immediately opened the gate and let the Naval Commander, the Air Force Commander, and Li Xiangyang in.
"You must be Colonel Lin Yun. Where is Comrade Xiao Zhang?"
The Air Force Commander immediately spoke. Now he only wanted to find Zhang Yuanhang and ask him to develop an engine for the Air Force's h-20.
"That's right, where is Comrade Xiao Zhang?"
"You must not be careless. Send more people to protect Comrade Xiao Zhang well. Do not let foreign organizations harm Comrade Xiao Zhang."
The Naval Commander also followed closely.
"Please rest assured, two Commanders. We have already sent more personnel to protect Comrade Xiao Zhang."
"Now, not even a mosquito can harm Comrade Xiao Zhang."
Colonel Lin Yun said proudly.
"Good, good. Now, take us to see Comrade Xiao Zhang!"
The Air Force Commander and the Naval Commander said in unison.
"Alright, alright!"
Colonel Lin Yun nodded.
At this moment.
"Slap!"
Zhang Yuanhang slapped the mosquito that was resting on his hand, killing it.
"Damn it, it sucked so much of my blood." Zhang Yuanhang looked at the bloodstains on his hand, his eyes dark. "No, I need to get some mosquito coils from them, otherwise, I can't live like this."
Saying that, Zhang Yuanhang got up and walked out of the building where he was resting. As soon as he stepped out of the door, several soldiers protecting Zhang Yuanhang immediately jogged over.
In order not to make Zhang Yuanhang feel like he was being imprisoned, the few of them followed Zhang Yuanhang without speaking, just quietly trailing behind him, and did not stop him from going anywhere.
"By the way, do you know where I can get mosquito coils?" Zhang Yuanhang remembered that he didn't know where to buy mosquito coils, so he turned to the few people and asked, "There are too many mosquitoes here!"
"Comrade Zhang Yuanhang, you can get them at the logistics department. How about we send someone to get them for you?"
The person behind him quickly said.
Just as Zhang Yuanhang was about to say no, Colonel Lin Yun arrived with the Naval Commander, the Air Force Commander, and Li Xiangyang.
Seeing Zhang Yuanhang in front of him, Colonel Lin Yun pointed at Zhang Yuanhang and smiled, "Everyone, this is Comrade Xiao Zhang."
Although the Naval Commander, the Air Force Commander, and Li Xiangyang already knew that Zhang Yuanhang was very young, they were still greatly shocked when they saw Zhang Yuanhang's appearance.
They couldn't believe that the recently well-known mecha was invented by this young man in front of them.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, hello. I am the Naval Commander. My name is Du Youguo. You can call me Uncle Du from now on."
Du Youguo held Zhang Yuanhang's hands and smiled kindly.
At this moment, the Air Force Commander directly pushed Du Youguo aside and then held Zhang Yuanhang's hands, saying, "Xiao Zhang, I am the Air Force Commander. My name is Yang Aiguo. You can call me Uncle Yang."
Colonel Lin Yun, who was on the side, couldn't help but recall the scene when Academician Li Bing, Academician Wu, and Academician Zhao first wanted to win over Zhang Yuanhang to their respective research bases.
"Two Comma—" Before Zhang Yuanhang could finish his sentence, he saw Du Youguo and Yang Aiguo looking down at him, so he quickly changed his words, "Hello, Uncle Yang, Uncle Du."
Facing the two Commanders of the Navy and Air Force, Zhang Yuanhang was still a little excited.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."
Du Youguo and Yang Aiguo smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Zhang, can the Nuclear Reactor Device you invented truly supply a city of a million people with a day's worth of electricity in one hour?"
Du Youguo, as a soldier, directly and straightforwardly asked Zhang Yuanhang.
"What?"
"Xiao Zhang, you also developed a Nuclear Reactor Device, and it can supply so many people!"
Yang Aiguo and Li Xiangyang, who was on the side, were dumbfounded. When did this Nuclear Reactor Device happen? Is Zhang Yuanhang really human???
"Of course. If Uncle Du doesn't believe it, I can do an experiment!"
"I can specifically connect the mecha's reactor to a circuit, directly supplying a million-person city, and we can see it on the spot."
Zhang Yuanhang said with a smile.
"Good, good. I'll immediately make a call to arrange it!"
Du Youguo preferred to see for himself, so he immediately took out his phone and called China's Top Leader, hoping he could make the arrangements.
To conduct an experiment.
While Du Youguo was on the phone, Yang Aiguo and Li Xiangyang pulled Zhang Yuanhang aside.
"Xiao Zhang, can you develop an engine for our Air Force?"
"Don't worry, our Air Force will definitely not treat you unfairly. Whatever we can do, our Air Force can provide to you!"
Yang Aiguo patted his chest.
"Huh?"
"Didn't I develop an engine already? Why don't you use that one?"
Zhang Yuanhang looked at Yang Aiguo and Li Xiangyang in confusion. Yuanhang-2 was already so powerful, could the Air Force still not be impressed? No way!
"Yuanhang-2 is being guarded like a treasure by Academician Li Bing and the others."
"And Yuanhang-2, Xiao Zhang, you designed it for civilian use back then, so the air intake is too large and not suitable for military use."
Li Xiangyang stepped forward and said.
Zhang Yuanhang thought about it and realized it was true. Military engines generally try to control the size of the engine's air intake as much as possible, which can reduce the risk of inhaling debris.
After all, military aircraft taking off in wartime cannot guarantee that there are no such miscellaneous things on the runway.
"Uncle Yang, you can completely go to Academician Li to ask for a design drawing, and then let the Air Force experts modify it."
"When I designed Yuanhang-2, I reserved a certain amount of space. If it's modified, it's still relatively simple."
Zhang Yuanhang said, because Yuanhang-2 was modified based on Yuanhang-1.
Therefore, there were some unnecessary spaces on Yuanhang-2. Because it was for civilian use, Zhang Yuanhang did not delete those spaces. For military use, they could be directly deleted, which could effectively reduce the size of the air intake.
