Chapter 138 Everyone stand up! The big boss is back in the country!
On the far side of the ocean, Professor Mai Zhenzhe sat in the departure lounge, his heart filled with surging emotions.
His gaze frequently drifted toward the massive aircraft outside the window, his heart full of anticipation and deep reflection about embarking on the journey home.
The departure lounge was spacious and bright, teeming with a constant stream of people of various skin colors passing through; the sounds of footsteps and conversations intertwined to create a unique background noise.
Professor Mai Zhenzhe wore a neat suit, clutching a black briefcase tightly in his hand, which contained his years of research results and precious data.
His eyes revealed determination and resolve because he knew that returning home this time meant leaving behind the familiar environment and many valuable opportunities, but the call of his country resonated in his heart like a great bell, and he would never regret it, even unto death.
Finally, the boarding announcement sounded; Professor Mai Zhenzhe stood up, took a deep breath, and walked toward the boarding gate with firm steps.
After several hours of flight, the plane finally landed on the soil of the Dragon Kingdom.
Professor Mai Zhenzhe stepped out of the cabin door, and a familiar scent rushed toward him.
He took a deep breath, savoring the scent of his motherland.
In the airport terminal, people were coming and going, bustling with activity.
Professor Mai Zhenzhe's gaze searched through the crowd, his heart filled with anticipation.
Just then, he saw a familiar figure: Commander Liu Chengzhi.
Commander Liu Chengzhi wore a crisp military uniform and looked dashing; he had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with anticipation and joy.
A warm feeling welled up in Professor Mai Zhenzhe's heart; he walked quickly toward Commander Liu Chengzhi, and the two embraced tightly.
"Professor Mai, welcome home!" Commander Liu Chengzhi said excitedly.
"General Liu, it's so good to be back." Professor Mai Zhenzhe's voice trembled slightly.
Commander Liu Chengzhi led Professor Mai Zhenzhe out of the airport terminal, where a black sedan was parked outside.
Professor Mai Zhenzhe saw that around the sedan, there were several soldiers in military uniforms, their expressions solemn as they vigilantly watched the surroundings.
He understood in his heart how much the country valued and protected experts like them.
After getting into the car, Professor Mai Zhenzhe saw the scenery outside the window flashing by; the car sped along the highway and soon arrived at a location!
It was actually the Dragon Kingdom National Defense University!
Professor Mai Zhenzhe saw that quite a few experts like him had already gathered here.
After receiving the call from the motherland, they had also returned to the embrace of their motherland from various countries!
In addition to experts from top foreign scientific research institutions, there were also professors from domestic universities and research institutes.
They shook hands excitedly, feeling the same sense of mission and responsibility from one another!
After communicating with each other for a while, Professor Mai Zhenzhe couldn't wait to ask General Liu:
"General Liu, are we really preparing to work on Nuclear Fusion?"
His question was also the question that these experts were concerned about!
They needed to know what they had returned to the country for!
When the motherland contacted them, for the sake of confidentiality, it was not explicitly stated what they were to do, only that it was related to Nuclear Fusion!
Nuclear Fusion is a difficult challenge to overcome, but as long as the country is determined to break through this hurdle, they would definitely spare no effort to contribute their own strength!
Commander Liu Chengzhi noticed that everyone's gaze was focused on him, and he smiled calmly:
"We will talk about this question later!"
"By the way, everyone, did you encounter any difficulties when you came back, especially from the Eagle Nation?"
"If there were any, just tell me; the motherland will not let you suffer unfair treatment, and we will definitely uphold justice for you!"
Commander Liu Chengzhi's words were quite domineering!
It had the air of "Those who offend our Dragon Kingdom compatriots, though far away, will be punished!"
After all, it is not the past anymore; with the comprehensive improvement of the Dragon Kingdom's national defense strength, there are more and more hawks in the country now!
Basically, eighty percent are hawks!
They express that whoever dares to invade, we will directly go to war, and we must make them pay the price!
And the remaining twenty percent are conservatives!
However, this part of the conservatives thinks the hawks' approach is too conservative!
Just paying a price is not enough!
The Red Flag must be planted on their territory to be acceptable!
Hearing that Commander Liu Chengzhi wanted to vent their frustrations, these scientific experts all looked at each other!
They discovered that not a single person spoke up!
Commander Liu Chengzhi was slightly taken aback, and he immediately said:
"Do not feel embarrassed or worry about causing trouble for the country!"
"You have sacrificed a lot for the country, we all know that, so the country cannot treat you unfairly!"
"Whoever bullies you, just say so; the country will back you up!"
"Even the Eagle Nation is no exception!"
Commander Liu Chengzhi had spoken to this extent!
But these experts still did not speak!
To avoid leaving Commander Liu Chengzhi in an awkward silence, some experts from the Eagle Nation side responded:
"It is strange to say; before, when I prepared to return to the country, the Laboratory used various reasons to stop me, but this time it was unexpectedly smooth! I don't know what happened?"
"It was the same on our side; before, they even proposed that if I dared to return to the country, they would take some coercive measures. This time, I had prepared for the worst when returning to the country, but the result was surprisingly smooth!"
Others also did not suffer even the slightest obstruction!
This completely baffled Commander Liu Chengzhi!
Especially Professor Mai Zhenzhe, the big shot in the field of nuclear research; although he encountered some verbal resistance, he returned home safely in the end!
This completely baffled Commander Liu Chengzhi!
This is not right!
Since when did the Eagle Nation become so obedient!
They actually let them return to the country just like that?
Is this still their style?
No, they must have some conspiracy, but hopefully, these conspiracies will not hinder their subsequent research.
Fortunately, these experts have all returned to the country safely; as for what conspiracy they have, let's think about it later!
Professor Mai Zhenzhe was still a bit puzzled, not understanding why Commander Liu Chengzhi would bring them to the National Defense University!
Other experts had the same question.
Suddenly, Professor Mai Zhenzhe thought of something, and he asked in surprise:
"General Liu, if I remember correctly, Mr. Su Chen seems to be from the National Defense University!"
The name Su Chen is quite famous in the top scientist circles of the Dragon Kingdom!
In their view, Su Chen is definitely a genius-level figure!
Not only has he proposed many theories, the key is that these theories have all been put into practice in his hands!
He is a dual-talent in both theory and application!
And upon hearing this name, everyone suddenly realized!
It seemed they had some kind of guess in their hearts!
Commander Liu Chengzhi nodded at them: "That's right, this is precisely Su Chen's alma mater!"
"We will head to his Laboratory in a moment; he is waiting for you inside!"
"By the way, he is the General person in charge for this project!"
They had no objections to Su Chen serving as the person in charge!
On the contrary, they were looking forward to meeting Su Chen, and they were very curious about what Su Chen looked like!
However, after arriving at the Laboratory, they did not get their wish; Su Chen was not here!
Commander Liu Chengzhi was a bit embarrassed: "You all take a look around first; I will go find him right now!"
After saying that, he muttered in a low voice: "You brat, where did you go!"
He took out his phone and walked outside.
Professor Mai Zhenzhe and the others didn't mind; in fact, when they had just entered the Laboratory, they were stunned by everything before them!
"Is this the Laboratory of Expert Su Chen?"
"It is truly so sci-fi!"
