Chapter 122: At This Time, We Must Not Relax!
Thinking of this, the Secretary of Defense could not suppress the doubts in his heart and asked.
When Raymond heard this, he was stunned. “Previously, I was more interested in nuclear submarines and wanted to study them, so I simply studied a little in every field. However, compared to the scientists in every field, there is still a gap.”
After saying this, the Secretary of Defense nodded, but he still looked at Raymond in surprise.
“Very good, Professor Raymond. You’re a really good young man!”
The Secretary of Defense said, “Although there are benefits to doing this, I still want to remind you. There are too many fields involved, so it’s easy to learn miscellaneous things. I’m just afraid that when the time comes…”
He wanted to remind Raymond.
He had good intentions. After all, there were too many examples like this. He had explored a little of every field. In the end, although he knew everything, he was not proficient in anything. Any field was half a bottle.
He could see that Raymond was very talented. He did not want to see Raymond become like that.
Raymond understood that the Secretary of Defense was also kind. He nodded and said, “I’ll go partic.i.p.ate in the research first. There’s still a lot of work to be done.”
After saying that, Raymond turned around and walked out of the meeting room.
Then, he went to the Temporary Nuclear Submarine Research Inst.i.tute.
At this time, in the hall, a group of researchers and scientists were on the phone with their families.
“Honey, the family is depending on you. I can’t go back in a short period of time…”
“Honey, you have to take care of your body during this period of time. Don’t catch a cold. If you’re bored at home, go to the park more often.”
“Honey, I can’t accompany you to the hospital. I’m busy here. When the child is born, I must tell him that his father is contributing to the country. Remember to send me a photo. After the project is over, I’ll go home immediately!”
“Dad, drink less at home. Don’t be angry with Mother all day. Don’t let her worry about me. Everything is fine here. Don’t worry if there’s nothing.”
Countless voices rang out in the hall, interweaving with each other.
However, it wasn’t particularly noisy. On the contrary, it made people feel a little sad.
Because the research project for the second generation of the Q-Series nuclear submarine was conducted in complete secrecy, there was no possibility of leaking the progress of the research project.
Therefore, whether it was scientists or researchers, they all signed a confidentiality agreement.
In addition, during the course of the experiment, they could not contact their families unless the experiment ended or the experiment was terminated.
But even if the experiment was terminated, they could never reveal the process of the experiment and the related work. No one could reveal it.
This was what scientific researchers did. Once a related project was being studied, unless it was a major event such as the death of a loved one, everything else had to be put aside and focused on the research project.
However, this was also the choice of their scientific research work. No one complained, and no one wanted to quit.
It was precisely because of their existence that the United States had its current status in the world. The United States’ scientific and technological level was able to reach the world’s top level in a short period of time because of them. This was something that Raymond had always known.
…
After waiting for everyone to finish making the phone call.
The second day of the Q-Series nuclear submarine scaring research project officially began.
All the laboratories started their research at the same time.
All the scientists put in 200% of their energy to carefully study the plan given by Raymond.
Then, they led their respective research teams and devoted themselves to the research.
As for Raymond, he shuttled back and forth between the various laboratories and became the only existence in the entire research inst.i.tute.
He was like a gear that would go wherever it needed to be turned.
In the blink of an eye, three days had pa.s.sed.
It was 10 o’clock that night.
The lights of the various laboratories were still on in the research inst.i.tute. The entire research inst.i.tute was still brightly lit.
Raymond walked out of the polymer laboratory somewhat tiredly.
He came to the resting place in the hall and drank a mouthful of water.
“General Raymond, can you still hold on?” At this moment, a scientist stood behind Raymond and asked worriedly.
His complexion was also not very good. Because of the research project, he couldn’t sleep well.
But after seeing Raymond’s workload, he was even more worried about Raymond’s body.
During this period of time, Raymond had been busy in and out of various laboratories. The old professors had also discussed the project with Raymond.
After every day’s experiment, he saw that he was still in the research inst.i.tute, studying the project plans of various scientific research projects and constantly improving them.
Naturally, he could not do such a workload.
He truly admired Raymond’s energy and physical strength.
But he could not help but worry whether Raymond could withstand such an intense workload.
At this moment, Raymond drank a mouthful of water and said tiredly, “It’s fine. I can still hold on. There’s no problem at all.”
The scientist pondered for a moment. “Professor Raymond, if you’re worried about the matter of two months, I can go and report it to the higher-ups. Now, the entire scientific research project is basically relying on you alone. If you tire yourself out…”
Raymond waved his hand. “Don’t worry. None of the seniors are tired. How can I be tired? Moreover, now that all the projects are on the right track, we must not slack off at this time.”
The scientist was about to say something.
“General Raymond!”
At this moment, the scientist who pushed the spiral blades into the laboratory shouted.
“Coming.”
Raymond hurriedly put down the cup and walked towards the direction of the laboratory.
“Professor Raymond, the implementation of the seven blades technique is a little difficult. There are too many air bubbles, so the pressure of the fluid will inevitably increase, but the boiling point will be reduced…”
The scientist held a doc.u.ment in his hand and pulled Raymond to discuss.
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the laboratory.
The scientist who spoke to him earlier could not help but feel a little distressed when he saw Raymond’s figure.
But he had no choice. The entire scientific research project revolved around Raymond now. He was the one who couldn’t rest the most.
Thinking of this, the scientist’s gaze silently cast an appreciative gaze in Raymond’s direction.
Time flew by. Half a month later.
7 am.
Raymond had just woken up and rushed into the research inst.i.tute before he had the chance to wash up.
Work had already started at 6 am in the research inst.i.tute.
But many scientists saw that Raymond had not come, and no one had the heart to call Raymond.
They all knew that Raymond had been too tired during this period.
During this half a month, he had basically not slept more than four hours a day.
Occasionally, he would work through the night.
Yesterday, the Spiral Blade Propulsion Laboratory had just made a major progress.
It was 9 pm, and an old scientist told Raymond to go back to rest.
No matter what Raymond said, the old scientists did not agree with Raymond to continue to partic.i.p.ate in the scientific work.
In desperation, Raymond chose to go back to rest. Once he lay in bed, Raymond fell asleep.
