Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 22 Any
On the large screen of the "requisition group," in addition to the hospital, Jiang Yang also saw tables marked with different names such as factories, laboratories, and research institutes.

Clearly, on this night, all institutions with particle accelerators will receive a requisition notice and be temporarily taken over by the Doomsday Project Command.

A total of 10756 usable particle accelerators means 10756 requisition and takeover teams. Such a massive and meticulous mobilization of manpower, and the resource organization and manpower mobilization capabilities behind it, even made Jiang Yang, a transmigrator who had experienced life and death several times and had a certain understanding of national power, feel uneasy.

His gaze shifted from the large screen displaying the requisition team's information to the design team's.

……

The night was still, and the early autumn breeze had dispelled the daytime heat. Surrounded by lush wild grass, a reservoir lay as smooth as a mirror.

Insects chirped, and a crescent moon was quietly reflected on the lake.

The night was peaceful and serene.

At a fishing spot on the edge of the reservoir, a middle-aged man with a full head of hair leisurely smoked a cigarette, scrolled through his phone, and watched the movement of the float.

There were already several large fish in the fish basket next to him, so it looked like a good haul.

"They're not back yet?"

"No, you and the child go to sleep first, I won't be back tonight."

"Still thinking you're young? Just fish for a while and have some fun, that's enough."

"I finally got a day off, I have to fish to my heart's content today, don't worry about me."

After casually dismissing his wife, Zhang Yao hummed a tune about the neighborhood and continued to enjoy his leisurely holiday.

The sound of a car driving over the road came from not far behind, very heavy, indicating that the car was obviously not light.

"Don't startle the nest..."

Zhang Yao glanced back with some dissatisfaction, muttering to himself.

I thought those cars would leave soon, but to my surprise, they stopped right behind me and wouldn't move.

The next moment, several beams of powerful flashlights shone over, and at the same time, heavy footsteps were heard.

"You're so late, no wonder you didn't catch any fish."

He cursed inwardly, but then heard a deep voice say, "Professor Zhang Yao, is that right?"

Zhang Yao stood up in surprise. In the lamplight, he saw a group of people in police and military uniforms approaching, numbering more than a dozen: "It's me. And you are...?"

"Professor Zhang Yao, hello. There is a major emergency mission that requires your immediate attention. My department has been ordered by higher authorities to come and pick you up."

"I...I'm on vacation..."

Zhang Yao was somewhat shocked: "Besides, I didn't tell anyone I came here to fish, so how did you find me?"

"Time is of the essence, please come with us immediately."

"Uh, okay, let me pack my things and then I'll call my wife."

"Please rest assured, we will help you pack your belongings. Meanwhile, another team has already gone to your home to inform and reassure your family. You don't need to worry about anything else, please come with us immediately."

Before he could even react, Zhang Yao was helped into a car by the guards, and a thick document was placed in his hands: "This is the mission details, please read them."

After just one glance, Zhang Yao was once again filled with shock: "To formulate a comprehensive upgrade and transformation design plan for a specific type of particle accelerator within 18 hours? This is impossible."

The guard in front turned around and looked at him seriously: "No, you're wrong. 18 hours is the design time for the entire plan. The overall plan you're in charge of only has 7 hours."

"You're all crazy, crazy, you must be crazy..."

Under the cover of darkness, the car sped up to nearly 150 miles per hour. After driving for less than half an hour, the car stopped in front of a helicopter.

"please."

After transferring to a helicopter and flying for less than an hour, Zhang Yao saw himself land in a small square. "559 Precision Machinery Research Institute..."

He had been here before and knew that this was a place that specialized in designing and developing precision machinery related to high-energy physics.

Unlike the usual tranquility, although it was already late at night, the research institute building and the surrounding buildings were all brightly lit.

With just a glance, he saw dozens of helicopters in the sky and on the ground.

One helicopter after another landed on the ground in a line, unloaded some cargo or personnel, and then quickly took off. As soon as an empty space was made, the next helicopter landed, and so on.

After getting off the helicopter, he said somewhat helplessly to the guard beside him, "I want it within 7 hours..."

"No, there are only 6 hours left now."

“Okay, it’s impossible to come up with a comprehensive renovation plan in six hours. There’s simply not enough time. Even if we extend the timeframe to a month, I’ll need the cooperation of many people, such as Professor Tong Liang from Institute 667…”

The guard glanced at his watch and solemnly said, "Professor Tong Liang will arrive in 16 minutes."

Zhang Yao was taken aback and added, "My graduate students can't be left out either; they simply can't come anytime soon."

"Your research team consists of 18 people, 16 of whom are already in place, and the remaining 2 will arrive in about 22 minutes."

"And Li Hongjun, Ma Hui, Sun Xiaole..."

He counted on his fingers, reciting one name after another as if he knew them intimately.

"The relevant personnel and their research teams you mentioned are 80% in place, and the entire team should be here within half an hour at most."

Zhang Yao's expression gradually became serious, clearly sensing the unusual nature of this mission: "We also need a particle accelerator of the corresponding model as a test site..."

"Arriving within 16 minutes."

"We need a suitable on-site environment..."

"The setup is complete."

"I have a heart condition, I'm afraid of this kind of mission..."

"The medical team is in place."

"We still need these devices..."

The guard pointed to a helicopter circling and landing in the sky: "It's here."

Zhang Yao's lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, but after a moment's thought, he realized he couldn't come up with any requests.

The guard said sternly, "The nation will take care of any needs you may have related to this mission, any."

"I see."

Zhang Yao sighed: "Since that's the case, what else is there to say? Let's fight to the death. May I ask how many people from our research institute came in total? Uh, you don't need to answer if it involves classified information."

"It's not classified. Our institute urgently recruited a total of 1065 experts and scholars."

"How many research institutes like ours are there nationwide?"

"76. In total, we are responsible for the design and development of upgrade and modification plans for 55 types of particle accelerators."

"What...what exactly happened?"

The guard paused for a moment, then gently shook his head: "I'm sorry, this question is classified, and I cannot answer it."

"alright."
