154: Chapter 154 Xu Hao's Generous Gift Makes Old Zhou Anxious!

"A big gift? Xiao Hao, what kind of big gift have you prepared for me?" Professor Zhou Xuemin asked curiously.

The full set of simulation and test data for the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber? Or perhaps the second-generation stealth technology that Xu Hao had mentioned previously? Thinking of this, Professor Zhou Xuemin felt a sense of anticipation.

Either one of these could truly be called a big gift. After all, if they had all the test and flight data for the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber, it would be of immense help for subsequent upgrades and modifications.

Now that the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber has been successfully developed, it is equivalent to having rich construction experience, so subsequent production will not be limited to the Underground Research Institute of Xu's Heavy Industry. There are many other military factories within the Dragon Kingdom. As long as there are enough researchers, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber can also be built in these military factories. Of course, if it were the second-generation stealth technology, that would be an even bigger gift.

Xu Hao smiled, "You'll know in a while!" He kept the suspense, not telling Professor Zhou Xuemin immediately. Professor Zhou Xuemin became impatient instantly. He had piqued his curiosity, and now he wouldn't say? Was he bullying this old man?

"Xiao Hao, you've changed. You weren't like this before." "Now you're starting to act slippery, playing dirty, and deceiving this old man." Professor Zhou Xuemin looked at Xu Hao with a resentful gaze. He looked like a child who had been greatly wronged.

Xu Hao laughed, "Professor Zhou Xuemin, we're only a short distance away from home anyway, there's no rush." He was afraid, afraid that if he said it out loud, he would shock Professor Zhou Xuemin. After all, the complete design blueprints for a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier were quite 'startling' if mentioned rashly. Furthermore, they were currently outside. Although there was no one in the car except for the two of them and the driver, all of whom were trusted, he was worried about walls having ears, so it was better to be cautious.

Professor Zhou Xuemin had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and urged the driver to drive a little faster. After a while, the car finally stopped at the gate of the Courtyard House. Professor Zhou Xuemin didn't say a word; he opened the car door, got out, and then pulled Xu Hao, rushing into the Courtyard House without a moment's delay.

Walking into Xu Hao's study, he said urgently, "Can you tell me now?" Professor Zhou Xuemin practically had the words 'very anxious' written on his face. Xu Hao nodded and then called out, "Secretary Wang, please bring the document bags I brought over to the study."

Wang Qian heard Xu Hao's call from outside and replied, "Okay!" Then, she went to Xu Hao's office, packed the large bag of document bags into a tote bag, and carried it to the study.

"Here, this is the big gift!" Xu Hao took the documents from Wang Qian, thanked her, took the files out, and handed them to Professor Zhou Xuemin. There were many document bags, a full seven or eight of them, all stuffed to the brim. In addition, there were two transparent sealed bags containing several silver encrypted USB flash drives.

After all, a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier is a massive object, involving countless thousands of types of knowledge and disciplines. Naturally, it required a lot of drafting paper for drawing and writing. Not only that, but some professional modeling, design diagrams, programming, etc., also required professional software, such as MATLAB, Python, Origin, and so on. These things had to be saved on USB flash drives.

When Xu Hao placed the stack of document bags into Professor Zhou Xuemin's hands, Professor Zhou Xuemin swayed, almost failing to hold them steady. "Hiss... Is this the big gift you mentioned? It's really heavy." Professor Zhou Xuemin couldn't help but mutter. It was worthy of being a big gift; this stack weighed at least twenty or thirty catties. Holding it, he couldn't even stand up straight. He couldn't hold it for long before he couldn't persist and placed it on the desk. "Whew..." Professor Zhou Xuemin pounded his back and took a deep breath.

"Xiao Hao, I suspect you are deliberately teasing this old man." It's just the flight data for the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber and the materials for the second-generation stealth technology, right? Was there a need for so much? Xu Hao smiled. Of course, this is the complete design plan for a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier; how could it not be heavy? However, once you open these document bags and see what's inside, you probably won't complain about the weight anymore.

After resting for a while, Professor Zhou Xuemin made a move to open the document bags to see what was inside. As a result, Xu Hao pressed down on the document bags and joked, "You should take them back and look at them slowly; otherwise, I suspect this study will be yours for the whole night."

Xu Hao was familiar with Professor Zhou Xuemin's temperament. He was like the top students back in school; when encountering some very profound math problems, he would refuse to give up until he understood and mastered them thoroughly. If Professor Zhou Xuemin saw that it was the design plan for a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, he would definitely stay up all night without closing his eyes. Xu Hao didn't want that. Otherwise, he would definitely be woken up by Professor Zhou Xuemin tomorrow morning, asking in detail about the various ideas in the design plan.

"You kid..." Professor Zhou Xuemin was suddenly dumbfounded and laughed. From the road back to now, Xu Hao had been acting weird. He spoke in half-sentences, and now that the 'big gift' was out, he wouldn't let him open it. He didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd. But seeing the meaningful smile on Xu Hao's face, the worldly-wise Professor Zhou Xuemin suddenly realized that the things inside these document bags were certainly not simple. Thinking of this, he immediately became much more cautious.

"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave!" Professor Zhou Xuemin couldn't wait to see what was inside, so he didn't linger any longer. He hurriedly bid farewell to Xu Hao and took the car straight to the Dragon Academy of Sciences. As soon as he got out of the car, he hugged the large bag of document bags and walked quickly towards his office. It was hard to imagine that despite Professor Zhou Xuemin's advanced age, his legs and feet were still so nimble.

On the other side, after Naval Commander Ding Lei arrived at The Compound, Elder Long was making tea under the shade of a tree. He walked up respectfully and called out softly, "Elder Long!"

Elder Long slowly turned his head, looking at Naval Commander Ding Lei's familiar face, his brows knitted slightly. Obviously, he knew why Naval Commander Ding Lei had come. Even so, Elder Long still gestured for Naval Commander Ding Lei to take a seat. "Sit down!"

Naval Commander Ding Lei nodded, let out a soft breath, and then sat opposite Elder Long. "Still here for that matter?" Elder Long asked first. Naval Commander Ding Lei bit the bullet and answered, "Yes!"

"Elder Long, I understand your urgent and strong desire to build a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, but we must start from reality and consider all aspects comprehensively." "With our current technology, we are not yet capable of building a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier." "A conventionally powered aircraft carrier is the correct direction we should take now." Naval Commander Ding Lei said these words every time he came. He knew that Elder Long would certainly not be happy to hear these words, but he had to say them. According to the weapon and equipment deployment situation, the fourth aircraft carrier must be started immediately; there was no room for delay!

"Sigh..." Elder Long didn't say anything this time, just let out a long sigh. Those eyes, which were not very bright to begin with, were now covered with disappointment and unwillingness. "When will the Dragon Kingdom be able to own a Nuclear-powered Ocean-going Aircraft Carrier? ..." Elder Long exclaimed in a slightly trembling voice. Hearing this exclamation, Naval Commander Ding Lei's body trembled slightly, he pursed his lips, feeling powerless in his heart.
