Chapter 46 Experimenting on the Moon
"Oh, the moon."
"Didn't I say that we don't need to build a base?"
"There is no need to build a base, but in order to monitor the situation on Earth, they seem to want to set up a reinforced radar station on the moon."
".The Earth has neutron jammers, right?"
"It's not like I don't have a plan."
"Is this what you did when you worked overtime here before?"
"Yeah, there aren't any machines that need radar research lately, so why should I play here?"
Su Lei continued helplessly.
"Originally I was planning not to take you with me, but this time the Hailan Design Bureau directly issued a transfer order, saying that you played a huge role in the previous battlefields, so this time we also need your strength and so on. They said a lot of nice things, but it should be that some people are afraid that you will develop beam weapons before them, and they want to destroy your research environment."
There has already been a start, and many people feel that they can complete the remaining work by themselves, so naturally they don't want He Kui to continue to get in the way.
".Do you want to go to this extent?"
"Exclude those who are different from you, and you will find them everywhere."
"Clark Design Bureau just had an incident."
"There's nothing we can do about it. They are doing things within the system that people can't find fault with."
It is true that they were praising He Kui's work ability. Now that you are capable, the design bureau also values you and pays you enough, He Kui is not in a position to refuse.
Under Su Lei's worried gaze, He Kui took a deep breath. Thinking of the poem that Su Lei had been looking forward to him completing since before, as well as his own goals, He Kui felt unhappy. This way, his road would be delayed again.
But as Su Lei said, the other party was suppressing him with the rules within the system, and he did not have the strength and connections to resist, and the hot-blooded theory was just a perfunctory response by the upper level.
"When are we leaving? How long will it take?"
"We'll set off next week. If all goes well, this research will take about a month. Once the radar station is stable, we can remotely control it through the terminal in PLANT."
"It's not going well?"
"If things don't go well, it'll actually be almost a month, so there's no need to stay there."
The matter has been decided. Unless he commits treason, he will have to accept it no matter how aggrieved he is. He Kui has seen the consequences of treason, not to mention that his parents are still here.
But leaving aside his current research, the moon itself is not at peace right now. The two sides are now fighting over the Grimaldi crater, with conflicts of varying sizes continuing.
Although Su Lei said that they probably wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, the danger still existed because they were so close to the battlefield.
It is also very possible that the other party launched a surprise attack while they were building the radar.
After the assessment, He Kui, who was walking on the broad road of the design bureau, was still worried when he met a gentle middle-aged man.
"You are He Kui, right?"
The other person's smile was very warm.
"you are?"
"I am the director of Shihe's research group."
"Nice to meet you."
He Kui couldn't see through the other party's thoughts and just responded politely.
"I heard you were transferred to the moon?"
"Yes."
"The moon isn't a great place. How's your research going?"
"well enough."
The other party was too kind and the topic was too sensitive. He Kui became alert when he heard it.
"Well, if you make any progress on your power components, you can tell me and I'll help you complete it here. You can rest assured. Of course, you can also join our team. A couple team is also good. Otherwise, I think it will be difficult for you to continue your research."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing the other party's kindness gradually turn into coldness, He Kui still maintained his etiquette and asked.
"What do you think? I have a thousand ways to prevent you from completing your research. Of course, if you give me the first author position, I can consider it."
“…Okay, I’ll think about it.”
He Kui clenched his fists and lowered his head and said.
"Well, let's go. I'll give you some time to think about it."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words that sounded like alms, He Kui nodded without stopping. This director must be the instigator. Thinking of all the grievances and the other party's hypocrisy, He Kui gritted his teeth and finally endured it. Now he had no way to change, so it was better to lie dormant for the time being.
The director who was left behind gradually stopped smiling and stared gloomily at He Kui's back.
……
"Moon."
"He Kui, do you want to go to the moon?"
Shihe, who was standing by, heard He Kui's subconscious murmur, looked up from the documents in front of him and asked in confusion.
"Not really, it's just that I need to go to the moon to build a radar station."
He Kui tried to repeat Su Lei's words as calmly as possible.
"No wonder the director has been asking about you lately!"
Shihe said indignantly that although he was a Sarafian, he agreed with the Sarafians' idea of using arms to defend their country, rather than the internal power struggle.
On the other side, hearing Shihe's words, He Kui sighed. It seemed that the director, who had not expressed his opinion before, suddenly had a fit, but the experiment could not bypass him. Although he had no legitimate reason to stop Shihe, they didn't even need to meet. A single word from the other party could make them very passive.
".We should be able to test it directly on the moon!"
Shihe looked at the information and thought for a while. She did not have the helpless loss or the urge to beat the other party as He Kui expected, but spoke seriously.
"Test? Test of beam weapons?"
He Kui, who was still worried, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Shihe's words.
"Well! The power components have been completed. Although they have not been tested yet, they don't seem to have any major problems. I will try to publish academic papers with more data in the next few days, and then we should be able to verify them on the actual machine."
As Shihe spoke, his eyes became more and more passionate.
"What about the cooling components? Can we test them now?"
He Kui asked, remaining calm and cautious.
"According to my experience, it's fine if the cooling system is larger. And with He Kui's ability, I believe there will be a way to overcome it in time! The only beam weapon we can use in actual combat is the M69 "Elephant" modified special fire heavy particle cannon equipped with Jin En D equipment, and it can only fire three rounds. However, it has played a very important role in siege and capture. Now that it can be tested, the Hailan Design Bureau can't find a reason to stop us."
"What if the experiment fails?"
He Kui asked cautiously. After all, without a cooling system, there were still many uncertainties.
"The cost won't be too great. At most, we will just be deducting some of our bonuses."
"What about the body of the test machine?"
"It will be no problem to get the most cutting-edge Xi Gu."
Xigu is an improved model of Jinen, and its overall performance is better than Jinen.
"Then give it a try!"
After weighing the pros and cons several times in his mind, He Kui spoke slowly.
He had done actual machine tests on the battlefield before, and with Shi and Hongyi's abilities and Xigu's superior performance over Jinen, their test machines would not rush directly to the front line, so safety was at least guaranteed.
Thinking of this, He Kui stood up and gently hugged Shihe's soft body.
"Thank you."
He Kui whispered.
"We are husband and wife."
As he spoke the poem, his face turned red.
At this moment, the gloom that had been suppressing He Kui's heart was also swept away.
There was uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
As long as he can become one of the directors, their lives will be more secure and they will be able to say goodbye to this kind of life which is only slightly better than living from hand to mouth.
It was not until Shihe, who was in his arms, gently nudged his chest that the excitement in He Kui's eyes slowly subsided.
"Don't hug me yet, I still have a lot of things to do tonight."
He Kui said coquettishly with the poem in his arms.
Having to prepare so many things within a week is enough to keep the two of them busy.
"Ok!"

I changed a little bit of the content in Chapter 44, which was to move some of Su Lei's highlights back to the male protagonist. Sorry for causing trouble to everyone orz.
