Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Thinking of this, the military leader stopped dealing with those documents. He simply put the documents aside, stood up and walked out of the office area to look for Su Chen.

We have to find out the truth no matter what: What secrets are hidden in Su Chen's gourd?

So he walked quickly to the door, followed closely by his assistant.

The military base was still as quiet as usual, with most personnel immersed in rigorous training or buried in various paperwork; except for the places where training tasks were being carried out, other places were very quiet. It was not the rest stage yet, and most of the soldiers were still sticking to their respective positions. The leader's hurried footsteps instantly broke this moment of tranquility...

Running all the way, the military leader was planning to find Su Chen and find out the truth.

Not long after, they met Su Chen. Seeing the newcomer, the other party greeted him happily, "Boss, you are in a hurry to come and see me, right?" Su Chen said with a smile, feeling quite relaxed at the moment.

Although he still felt puzzled by the inconsistency between his smile and his true feelings, the boss still asked jokingly: "I heard that you have a gift? What 'treasure' have you prepared to bribe the leader?" He wanted to find out the details, so he asked back.

When asked, Su Chen quickly explained: "Your Excellency has misunderstood. My gift is a kind of water, but this water is not drinkable."

Su Chen did not directly answer this secret. You know, in this era, it is not easy to get so much heavy water. He is still quite proud of it in his heart - after all, this matter is of great importance, and he must keep it a secret to show its importance.

At this time, the two were in the corridor of the military station, and the sound of soldiers' exercises could be heard in the distance. Looking at Su Chen's confident look, the leader continued to ask questions along with his conversation: "What kind of water is it? Is it not drinkable?" There was doubt in his tone.

So the other party replied: "That is heavy water."

It took the leader a while to comprehend what was going on, but when he finally realized what was going on, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up from the ground.

Su Chen actually disclosed this matter so bluntly in public. Isn't he worried about the information being leaked?

At first I thought it was just a joke, but gradually I realized it and looked around hastily. Even though the identity of every soldier in this base has been strictly checked and confirmed to be reliable... Even though this is the case...

The leader still felt the tense atmosphere surrounding them, and realized that the scene had not attracted much attention from others, so he hurriedly instructed his assistant:

"Immediately block the entire area and prohibit all entry and exit!"

Su Chen's sudden action shocked the military leader so much that he did not care about the daily operations of the base and hurriedly ordered it to be blocked.

The assistant didn't even think about it. Seeing the serious look on his leader's face, he immediately said, "Yes, sir." He quickly ran out and began to inform all personnel to implement **alert status**.

Although he didn't understand what had caused such high attention, he knew it must be a matter of great importance.

Seeing the assistant's figure gradually disappear into the distance, the military officer's mood calmed down a little, but he still couldn't hide his excitement and surprise.

As a senior scientist, he knows the importance of **heavy water**. The country's demand for it is very urgent, and more than a dozen institutions have invested in the scientific research of this project, but the progress is limited and no decisive breakthrough has been achieved.

Not long ago, at a high-level meeting, he heard many officials discussing the project.

Now Su Chen suddenly mentioned the relevant matters, causing the situation to change drastically.

The military leaders sighed inwardly: I didn’t expect that this guy could handle this matter so quietly.

If this unfamiliar term had not been recorded in advance, military leaders might not have had any idea what the heavy water Su Chen was talking about was.

With a hint of blame, he said to Su Chen: "Why did you tell me such important news only now?!"

The officers and soldiers of the entire base were immediately mobilized. As the **command** was issued, every entrance and exit was tightly blocked.

The soldiers quickly issued a warning signal, the sound of which resounded through the sky. All soldiers assembled and stood by according to the emergency plan, and the soldiers in training quickly put on their uniforms and picked up their weapons and equipment.

After arranging the teams, they will be deployed to various locations in the base according to their respective positions.

The emergency inspection was quickly launched, and the military base was running like a huge machine. These changes were also conveyed to Assistant Zhang who stayed outside and sat in the truck through communication equipment. Looking at the changes in the situation from the car window, Assistant Zhang observed that the original two sentry positions were increased to four people, and the level of security was stricter. Obviously, something big was happening, and this scene triggered his thinking.

Could it be that all this has something to do with that officer?

However, before receiving new instructions, Assistant Zhang did not take any further action and remained at his post to wait and see what would happen.

He now also has to keep an eye on the heavy water loaded on the truck and will never allow anyone to touch these precious materials without Su Chen's order.

Truck drivers were also very nervous.

The shrill sirens outside were so close, coupled with the nervous expressions of the nearby soldiers, the truck drivers all suspected that a new battle was about to begin somewhere.

"Assistant Zhang, how about we retreat first? We can come back after the factory director comes out."

The truck driver sitting next to Assistant Zhang looked so nervous that even his hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, began to sweat uncontrollably.

Having participated in battle before, he knew what this alarm meant.

The truck driver was already a little worried that Su Chen might have offended someone he couldn't afford to offend after entering.

But Assistant Zhang said firmly: "Don't go anywhere. The factory manager asked us to wait outside, so we should stay here."

After finishing the task, ** still felt uneasy, so he signaled to ** who was leading the patrol next to him, "Sir, please follow my command."

Patrol ** saluted **.

** hurriedly said: "Please take a group of people to guard the trucks outside the base, and make sure each one is safe."

Although he was somewhat puzzled by the order from his superior, the ** immediately replied, "Yes, sir." After that, he led his men and ran out quickly.

Having received the order, the sentry on duty immediately allowed them to leave.

A team of soldiers in neat uniforms quickly surrounded the trucks parked outside the military base. The leader stood facing the periphery with a stern face, not moving his eyes to the trucks behind him.

Because their mission was to guard these trucks, they had no reason to talk to the people in the trucks.

Assistant Zhang couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw a group of soldiers suddenly emerge from the base and form a blockade against him.

He had a vague feeling that it might be related to the batch of heavy water that was transported over.

In fact, Su Chen's previous attitude was enough to show the importance of this batch of goods. Seeing the soldiers outside the base surrounding everyone, the other truck drivers also felt uneasy.

However, considering that it was the power of authority, they could only stay in the car and did not dare to move. Assistant Zhang looked at the base, a little worried about Su Chen's safety.

I wonder what happened to the factory manager? He thought to himself.

The entire base responded quickly to **'s instructions.

At that time, Su Chen said calmly: "I have mastered the process of preparing heavy water, and this batch of heavy water is a gift to the motherland."

Although the tone was calm, the connotation of the words shocked the **. He could not believe what he heard and suspected that it was not a joke.

When he looked at Su Chen, what he saw was the latter's serious and earnest side, which made him feel as if he was struck by lightning.

Even though the technology for preparing heavy water was not particularly cutting-edge, it was still an incredible discovery for that ** cognition.

Most people don't even know what heavy water is, let alone its production process. Su Chen's words today caught the military officials off guard.

The heavy news that came one after another made the military leader unable to cope with it. He asked in surprise: "Have you really mastered the heavy water production technology?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I am lucky. I want to get a license to produce heavy water. You know, some special materials are needed in the process... this kind of thing."

Su Chen didn't finish his words, but they were quite clear. Although he said it in a rather subtle way, the military officials had fully understood the meaning.

Indeed, this technology is not something that ordinary people can master. Therefore, the military officials are well aware of Su Chen's vague answer.

You know, this is the key to heavy water technology, and before this, Su Chen had brought them too many unexpected surprises. Just sending some heavy water shocked the military leaders, and what was even more shocking was that he also had the technology to make heavy water.

But he did not ask too much about how Su Chen obtained these technologies. After all, everyone has a side of their background that they don't want to be known to others, and considering that Su Chen had just returned from the Bear Country not long ago.

If Suchen is willing to use the technology in the required fields, there is no need to question it. Faced with this series of important information, he quickly calmed down, thought for a moment and said, "I personally agree with this proposal, but it still needs to be submitted and I will respond after the collective decision of the leadership."

The answer he gave was extremely cautious and reasonable. This matter could not be easily agreed to. Su Chen nodded in response to this attitude, "I can understand."

Seeing this, the military leaders breathed a sigh of relief. "This involves national security issues, and it is not something I can make the final decision on."

Su Chen had no objection to this reply, because this was an important matter related to the development of nuclear technology, and at a time when the country was stepping up the development of nuclear weapons, this move was hitting the nail on the head. So he also understood why the other party needed time to weigh the pros and cons, even this high-ranking ** was no exception, and it was impossible to make a decision to issue a license immediately.

Su Chen didn't care about this situation. In fact, the purpose of building this water treatment plant was not only to produce heavy water, but also to tentatively collect some nuclear materials.

Over the years, the country has accumulated a lot of such materials through research in this area. So Su Chen began to get excited.

He had already thought about this when he was in the process of obtaining heavy water from the Bear Country.
