Chapter 334 A Regrettable Accident

"Don't worry, I won't joke about this matter casually."

After receiving Pierce's reply, members of the organization discussed it.

"According to Pierce, this 'hair' material has properties and defects, and will quickly lose its high-strength properties at high temperatures. Let's let our scientists verify Pierce's words right away."

After hearing this statement, the people in the organization were a little surprised. After all, this material was their secret weapon, but they did not expect that there would be such a flaw.

But since this conclusion comes from Kim Pierce, they also understand that this conclusion is most likely true.

Kim Pierce is a rising star in materials science in America, and at this time, he is unlikely to lie.

Even if the organization would not kill Pierce's mother easily, lying like this would undoubtedly be a very risky move for Pierce.

What's more, the authenticity of this conclusion can be confirmed soon. Even if Pierce wants to delay for some time, he will choose some other excuses.

It didn’t take long for them to hear back from their materials experts.

"After our verification, the strength of this 'hair' material did decrease under high temperature conditions. However, we feel that this is not a material defect, because under normal circumstances, it It won’t reach such high temperatures.”

"So, Kim Pierce's statement is indeed true? Then if this is not a defect of this material, it is at least a weakness of this material."

Since Pierce didn't lie, they would naturally choose to continue to place their hopes on Pierce. After all, Pierce was the person they could control and the most trusted person by Ning Chen.

"Sir, I suggest that we can continue to send people to send the 'hair' to Xia Kingdom. This time, just ask Pierce to be careful not to put the hair close to high temperatures. Other than that, we don't have any better plans. ."

"That's right. Then we'll send another person to deliver the goods. Also, let Pierce be prepared. This time, the last situation must not happen again."

Immediately, they contacted Pierce again and informed him of their subsequent plans.

What they didn't expect was that this time Pierce did not agree to their plan.

"The sudden suspension of this operation has caused Ning Chen to have some doubts about me. I suggest that we should not continue to act according to the original plan. In addition, I have a better plan."

"what's the plan?"

"Before I talk about this plan, I want to make sure my mother is safe."

"Of course that's no problem. As long as you can help us accomplish our goals, I guarantee that your mother is safe and we will try our best to bring you back as soon as possible."

At Pierce's request, the organization sent Pierce a video of his mother, and after careful confirmation, Pierce ensured that his mother was still safe.

Pierce also believes that as long as they are still valuable, they will not hurt their mother casually.

"Pierce, can you tell me your plan now?"

"Okay. Do you know that Xingchen Technology is currently studying aerospace-related projects?"

"Yes, we know about this. But does this have anything to do with your plan?"

"One thing you may not know is that Ning Chen plans to go to space personally to carry out a manned space exploration mission."

After hearing what Pierce said, the people in the organization looked shocked.

It has never happened before for one of the world's top scientists to personally go to space to carry out a manned space exploration mission.

Although they didn't know the reason why Ning Chen did this, they all understood that if the news was true, then this would undoubtedly be their best chance to attack Ning Chen.

In space, aircraft are actually very fragile. The reason why there is no mutual attack is because everyone has concerns about this and maintains a relatively harmonious state.

But if they could take this opportunity to get rid of Ning Chen, it would be completely worth the risk for them.

"Pierce, can you guarantee that the information you provided is completely true?"

"Don't worry, I don't need to joke with you about this matter. Going to space has always been a dream of Ning Chen. Now that he has the ability to achieve this goal, Ning Chen is trying to complete this dream..."

Listening to Pierce's explanation, they also felt that Ning Chen's behavior was understandable.

Many people have had such a dream, but Ning Chen is one of the very few people in the world who is really capable of realizing this dream.

"Okay, Pierce, then we will suspend the 'Hair' plan and implement it according to the plan you provided. Pierce, you don't need to take any direct actions in the future, you just need to provide us with some intelligence at any time. We Your mother’s safety will be guaranteed, you can rest assured of this.”

"Well, then we can contact you anytime."

After this exchange, the mood of the members of the organization changed like a roller coaster.

The original plan failed, which made them very disappointed. After all, this was their last trump card. If even this plan failed, it would be difficult for them to think of any other better method.

But the latest information Pierce provided them gave them renewed hope.

Immediately, they formulated a specific plan based on this new plan.

"If Ning Chen really wants to personally carry out the space mission, then we have many ways to achieve our goal. Of course, it is best not to do it too obviously, otherwise, I am afraid it will cause some serious consequences."

If a missile or other weapons were used to attack directly, such a move would be basically equivalent to a declaration of war. Even if Ning Chen could be eliminated, the gain would outweigh the loss.

They had to use some better reason to make this an accident.

"Sir, I think we can use some abandoned satellites to complete our plan. The trajectory of abandoned satellites is unpredictable. If it accidentally hits the aircraft that Ning Chen is riding, it will only be a disaster. It’s a sad surprise.”

Hearing this person's words, the leader of the organization couldn't help but smile.

"Yes... then let's implement this plan. Contact the Aeronautics and Space Administration immediately to help us plan this operation."

The final feasibility of this plan still requires a more professional assessment by the Aeronautics and Space Administration. After all, this requires very precise strike accuracy. A slightly larger deviation will lead to the failure of the operation.

Immediately, they contacted the American Aeronautics and Space Administration to explain their ideas.

Speaking of which, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration does not want to accept such a mission because it may have great negative consequences.

However, under pressure from the FBI, they had to obey the order and began to study the feasibility of this plan.

Based on the current capabilities of the Aeronautics and Space Administration, if the other party is not prepared, the accuracy of such a strike will still be relatively high.

Although they are using obsolete satellites, this does not mean that these satellites have lost their role. On the contrary, these satellites can basically still be used, but they need to be replaced with newer satellites due to age issues.

As long as the opponent's operation plan can be obtained, the success rate of the operation can reach more than 90%.

The organization was very pleased with the response received from the Aerospace Administration.

"Okay! Then we will act according to Pierce's plan. According to the information we have obtained, Star Technology's first manned space mission will not be particularly complicated, and the scope of the mission will be relatively close to the surface. In this way, We can achieve our goals with a high probability.”

Using abandoned satellites to complete the plan, although their true purpose will be known later, at least this will be something without evidence.

This can minimize the impact of the matter, at least on the surface, and will not cause a direct result of tearing one's face.

"Next, let's wait for Pierce to provide us with more inside information. I hope Ning Chen will really carry out the space mission himself. This is Ning Chen's dream, and it is also our dream."

…

After the mysterious thread incident ended, Ning Chen did not take it too seriously, but continued to focus on the aerospace project.

This can help Ning Chen complete the system task, and at the same time, he can use the trick to rescue Pierce's mother safely.

Ning Chen has informed Yue Jiafeng of his plan. Although Yue Jiafeng feels that Ning Chen's plan is a bit dangerous, he will still cooperate to help Ning Chen complete the plan. He will arrange our people in Millikin to assist Ning Chen in completing it when necessary. plan.

As for Kim Pierce, Ning Chen no longer worries too much.

After experiencing this incident, Pierce has understood that acting in accordance with the requirements of the organization is an unworkable approach.

The only way to ensure the safety of himself and his mother is to completely obey Ning Chen's arrangements, so Ning Chen is not worried about what other ideas Pierce may have.

On this day, Ning Chen called Pierce to his office.

"Teacher Ning, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I have a new project that I want to study with you. Due to the secretive nature of this project, apart from the two of us, no third person can participate in this project."

Pierce was a little surprised when he heard Ning Chen's words.

This is the first time Ning Chen has told himself such a secret research project. As an international student, it is difficult for him to receive such treatment.

What's more, a major event happened before, and Pierce was already very grateful that Ning Chen could put it past the past. How could he have thought that Ning Chen would retaliate with kindness.

"Teacher Ning, can I ask what the project is?"

"It's the special silk material we came into contact with before. I hope to conduct more specific research on this material and solve some of its defects based on its properties..."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Pierce was a little confused. Was Ning Chen testing himself with these words, or did he really want to study this project?

"Teacher Ning... aren't you a little worried that if I solve the defects of this material, will you... be at risk to your safety?"

Seeing Pierce's worried look, Ning Chen smiled and said:

"If I were worried, I wouldn't have told you anything about this. Don't worry, Pierce, just conduct the experiment as I asked. If this experiment can be successful, it will not only be a valuable material science achievement. , and it may also play an important role in our future plans..."

After letting Pierce's mood stabilize, Ning Chen told Pierce some of his thoughts about this nanowire material.

In fact, Ning Chen already has some methods to improve the properties of this substance, but these ideas need to be verified experimentally.

Ning Chen now has no time to conduct these experiments, and Pierce is the most suitable person to complete this experiment.

On the one hand, Pierce was capable enough to complete this level of experimentation, and on the other hand, Pierce was one of the few people who knew that this material existed.

As for the relationship between this research and his own plan, Ning Chen was not in a hurry to tell Pierce right away.

"Okay, Teacher Ning, I will conduct the experiment according to your requirements."

After listening to Ning Chen's ideas, Pierce realized that Ning Chen's improvement plans were very feasible.

After returning to his dormitory, Pierce put together the plan for the experiment.

Although Ning Chen has given his general direction, the specific experimental plan still needs to be completed by Pierce himself.

Just when Pierce was thinking about the specific plan for the experiment, Pierce suddenly figured out something.

"Teacher Ning...could he want to use the improved nanowire material to resist the organization's attacks? What a bold plan!"

Thinking of this possibility, Pierce admired Ning Chen even more.

…

After days of hard work, Xingchen Technology’s aerospace team has successfully processed the first rocket engine designed by Ning Chen.

After preliminary testing, the performance of this rocket engine was basically the same as the requirements in Ningchen's design plan.

Ning Chen was also quite satisfied with this engine after testing it through Xiaozhi's information sensing function.

However, none of these tests are absolutely convincing. To prove that this transmitter is sufficient to be used as a rocket engine, test runs are an essential procedure.

Now, the construction work of Xingchen Technology's rocket engine test bed has been completed, and the engine test experiments are just waiting to be officially started.
