Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2540: The three armies came out together, and we couldn’t resist!

"Run? What are you running for? Where can you run to?"

Just as Yang Xiaotao turned around and was about to go back to the office to call for help, he heard the rough voice of Mr. Zhang behind him.

Yang Xiaotao slowly stopped and smiled sincerely, "Hey, Lao Zhang, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

When he came up, Yang Xiaotao focused his attention on the two people next to Lao Zhang.

They were all quite old, wearing old military uniforms and hats.

What surprised Yang Xiaotao was that when these people appeared just now, Mr. Zhang was just standing aside.

This shows that the two people who came this time either have a higher status than Lao Zhang or are at the same level.

Thinking about Lao Zhang's status, Yang Xiaotao looked at the two of them with more awe in his eyes.

"Tell me in advance? Then you would have to run faster, right?"

Old Zhang took two quick steps and came closer, looking at Yang Xiaotao with inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

I thought Yang Xiaotao would be happy enough just by developing a main battle tank.

But who would have thought that the main battle tank was just an appetizer.

If it weren't for the Chinese Academy of Sciences' accidental discovery this time, he really wouldn't have known about this good thing.

Satellite phone. Anyone who has been to the battlefield will know how important it is to convey orders in a timely and effective manner and to understand the battlefield situation.

Moreover, they are fed up with the current landline phones.

The distance is too far, and something that should only take a few minutes has to wait for more than ten minutes. Isn't this a waste of time?

What's more, this thing can be carried around at any time, unlike a radio station which requires an antenna to send and receive telegrams.

For them, this thing is like seeing and hearing from afar!

Yang Xiaotao felt the hand on his shoulder, and immediately pretended to be wronged. "Why should I run away? Where can I run to?"

"I'm going back to prepare tea to entertain our distinguished guests."

Yang Xiaotao smiled calmly, but he was thinking about the other party's intention in his heart.

I guess it’s most likely about the satellite phone.

I feel bitter.

The New Year hasn't even passed yet, and it's already come to me.

"Really? You still have some good tea leaves?"

"Next time you come to my place, I'll let you taste what good tea is!"

Old Zhang saw through Yang Xiaotao's thoughts at a glance, but he still gave Yang Xiaotao a subtle wink.

The two parties have known each other for quite some time, so Yang Xiaotao naturally understood what he meant.

This time, Lao Zhang had no choice.

Wish yourself luck!
Before Yang Xiaotao could come to his senses, Mr. Zhang had already pulled Yang Xiaotao forward and said to him, "Xiaotao, this is Dean Qu from the Maritime Research Institute."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, but he was suspicious in his heart. Does the Maritime Research Institute have such a department?

How come he hasn’t heard of it? Go and ask Lao Zhang.

At this time, Lao Zhang smiled at the kind-looking old man and said, "Dean Qu, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao from the Ninth Department."

Yang Xiaotao quickly calmed down and stepped forward, "Hello, President Qu! Welcome to the Ninth Department to guide our work."

The old man grinned and said, "I have heard that there is a Dinghaishenzhen in the Nine Departments, a great talent, and I have always wanted to meet him, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."

Yang Xiaotao was quick to be polite after hearing this. This compliment was a bit heavy. "I don't deserve it. I just did what I should do. At most, I fulfilled my duties. But I don't deserve to be the pillar of stability."

"Besides, the real pillar of stability is still you, the older generation."

Dean Qu smiled and nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied that he was so young and in a high position, yet he could still remain humble and not nervous.

This calmness was rare among the younger generation he had met.

Then he continued to Yang Xiaotao, "I heard about you from Jiang Defu."

"Speaking of which, our ships have been able to develop so quickly, thanks to your support!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately asked, "Dean Qu, do you know Mr. Jiang?"

Before Dean Qu could speak, Mr. Zhang at the side immediately said, "What do you mean by acquaintance? Old Jiang was Dean Qu's first batch of students."

Yang Xiaotao instantly understood where this person came from. It was a big, very big one.

Maybe he is not as good as Lao Zhang in terms of rank, but in terms of power, Lao Zhang dare not challenge him.

"By the way, who is Zhang Wu to you?"

Dean Qu still had a smile on his face, and Yang Xiaotao quickly replied, "That's my uncle, my grandfather is Jin Dali from Shanghai!"

After hearing this, Mr. Qu nodded again, "No wonder, all the good things you made were sent to Shanghai, and they are well fed and strong over there."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao scratched his head embarrassedly. How should he explain this?

"Old Qu, are you here to do business or to call for justice?"

"You never stop asking questions."

Suddenly, an old man nearby spoke up to help Yang Xiaotao out. Mr. Qu shook his head embarrassedly, and Yang Xiaotao looked towards the person who spoke.

Elder Zhang reacted and quickly introduced Yang Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, this is Dean Yu from the School of Aeronautics."

There is no need to guess, anyone who can speak to Dean Qu in this tone must be of a high status.

Yang Xiaotao quickly said, "Hello, Dean Yu, welcome to the Ninth Department."

Dean Yu is not as tall as Dean Qu, and the military uniform he wears makes him look very sturdy.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Dean Yu smiled generously and said, "Don't be so polite. Just produce more planes. I like to look at planes. The better the planes, the happier I am."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, it costs money to produce airplanes!
"Three leaders, please come in."

Without saying much, Yang Xiaotao welcomed everyone into the conference room.

At this time, Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin and others who received the news also rushed over.

When Lao Hong came in, Dean Yu and Dean Qu stood up deliberately, which made Yang Xiaotao feel more confident.

While the tea was being served, Yang Xiaotao moved closer to Lao Hong to find out what was going on.

Old Hong looked at the people in the meeting and laughed softly, "Old Qu on the left has been working in the maritime field since the Republic of China. He has many students and former officials."

"The person next to him is the middle-aged man, Xie Fan, the Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet, and also his student."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Xie Fan, who also looked at him, nodded and smiled at Yang Xiaotao, revealing his white teeth.

Yang Xiaotao also nodded in response, not daring to be negligent.

Then Lao Hong looked at the person on the right, "This Dean Yu also came from the Republic of China, but he was a pilot before. He entered the teaching system after the liberation and has quite a few students."

"The Changkong who drove in circles last time was his favorite student."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Dean Yu again.

Old Hong then laughed and said, "Come on, now that representatives from the navy, army and air force are here, this is a big deal, you better be careful with your words."

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and muttered, "You are the logistics director of the Ninth Division, you have to support me!"

Lao Hong was stunned, then shook his head helplessly, "Don't give me that. Other things are easy to talk about, but my words are useless at this time. You should do it yourself."

As he said this, Lao Hong started laughing. He thought this meeting would be very interesting.

When Yang Xiaotao saw him like this, he knew there was no hope. He looked at Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin, who also looked helpless.

There is a saying that goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly.

Although they are not scholars, there is nothing they can do when they encounter unreasonable soldiers!

I hope, comrades, can hold on!

At this time, everyone in the room was seated. Yang Youning looked at the people present and wanted to say a few words, but how could he introduce them when he couldn't even recognize all of them?

So Mr. Zhang stood up and introduced himself, then sat aside and looked at Yang Xiaotao with interest.

This time, he didn't come alone.

And behind him, it also represents the army.

After General Zhang finished introducing everyone, Yang Xiaotao immediately started talking and said straight to the point, "On behalf of the Ninth Department, I welcome the two deans and several comrades to our Ninth Department to guide our work."

"If there is anything we have done wrong, please criticize and correct us."

"Of course, if you have any needs or ideas, you can tell us."

"We, the nine departments, will definitely do what we can do."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Dean Qu and Dean Yu looked at each other and smiled. Then Dean Yu turned his head to look at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Good, quick words." "You are indeed the descendant of a revolutionary martyr."

"We soldiers are like this. We say whatever we want to say. You suit our taste."

Dean Yu praised Yang Xiaotao, then looked at Dean Qu, "Old Qu, if that's the case, then I'll speak first."

Dean Qu pushed up his glasses and then picked up the water cup. "Just tell me first. Why are you asking me?"

Dean Yu glanced at him and said, "You old Qu are very cunning. I told you not to spoil the show."

After saying that, he ignored the gazes of the people below and said to Yang Xiaotao, "We learned about the situation from President Peng. This time we came here to inquire about the satellite phone."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Dean Yu, just tell me directly."

"Okay, I'm here on behalf of the Aeronautical Research Institute and would like to try out two satellite phones."

"What do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao asked tentatively.

Dean Yu pointed upwards, "Of course it was installed on the plane?"

"You know what happened last time when we went to the Japanese island for a tour, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Last time, we almost couldn't find the gas pump because of communication problems. If we have this thing, will there still be communication problems?"

"I remember you are also in Qindao, how about this, you give us two phones, I will have someone arrange it, tomorrow is the New Year, and we will go to wish them a happy new year."

Having said that, Dean Yu looked at Yang Xiaotao meaningfully.

You know what, Yang Xiaotao was actually quite tempted by this suggestion.

But when I think about the current situation, I feel a little hesitant.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's hesitation, Dean Yu continued, "You are the developer, so just tell me, can this thing be used to make phone calls on an airplane?"

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his hands and said, "This should be no problem, but no one has tried it."

"That's right, so we need two phones to experiment with. If it works, then wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"When the time comes, we'll ask for more."

Speaking of this, Dean Yu's face was full of hope.

"More? How much more do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. There were four machines in total, and this was half of them.

But Dean Yu pretended to be confused and grinned, "Of course the more the better."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless, and then he heard Dean Yu say, "Of course, if you have difficulties, you can first order 1,000 copies."

But before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Dean Yu added, "Well, these 1,000 are just the initial batch. We'll need at least 5,000 or 10,000 in the future. Let's try to put one on every plane."

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth, but felt that he could no longer explain.

Do these five thousand or ten thousand seem reasonable?
"We want a thousand too! We'll talk about it later."

Dean Qu added with a smile.

Mr. Zhang on the side grinned and said, "Then we'll take a loss, but we'll have to buy a thousand copies."

Yang Xiaotao asked angrily, "You guys are still at a disadvantage with one thousand copies."

Mr. Zhang nodded seriously, "Yes, don't you see how many of us there are? There are only a few of them."

Everyone seemed to think it made sense after hearing this.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless and looked at Lao Hong.

Lao Hong immediately lowered his head, thinking that this was not the appropriate occasion to speak.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone and said, "We don't have that many. We only have four satellite phones now."

"That's perfect, two of us and two of Lao Qu!"

Dean Yu immediately responded, and Mr. Zhang beside him suddenly felt abandoned.

But he didn’t dare to refute.

"Two old leaders, and all comrades, I think you have misunderstood."

Yang Xiaotao sighed and then said, "Well, let me give you a brief introduction to what a satellite phone is."

Hearing this, everyone showed interest.

"The so-called satellite phone, as the name suggests, consists of three parts: the launch system"

After Yang Xiaotao explained the principle of satellite phone, he came to the most critical part, "We only have 3,000 satellite positions in the sky now, corresponding to 3,000 phones."

"That is to say, even if we make satellite phones in the future."

"Too many, no use!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone immediately understood what was going on.

After a moment, Dean Qu immediately shook his head and said, "We'll discuss this later, but for now, we want two of the four phones, which will be just enough to help you experiment."

Dean Yu had the same expression, "Yes, we two can also try it out. Tomorrow, we will immediately arrange to go to the top of the Japanese island to wish them a happy new year."

After saying that, he winked at Yang Xiaotao, which scared Yang Xiaotao so much that he quickly lowered his head.

Is this something he can say?

Mr. Zhang even chuckled, "Well, you guys hurry up and make two more in the next few days, we're not in a hurry."

Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Yang Xiaotao also laughed and said, "There's no point in being anxious."

He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then said, "The Ministry of Railways wants 500 yuan. They said that a long time ago."

"In addition, foreign trade also costs 500 because of external contacts. Ms. Li Rong made the call personally for this matter."

"Also, I heard that overseas agencies also need some. You can call West Garden to confirm..."

"By the way, Mr. Chen also said that he would leave him one thousand. What can we do?"

"Peng Zong has also asked about this."

As Yang Xiaotao kept talking, Zhang Lao and his companions looked gloomier as they listened.

Especially Xie Fan, who came with Dean Qu, had a serious expression on his face.

For those of them operating at sea, most of their communication methods now are through radio.

But the earth is round. If the distance is short, using radio is not a big deal, but if the distance is too long, it will be difficult to receive information.

So after hearing about the working principle of this wireless satellite phone, it can be connected from the ground to the sky and then back down. Isn't this a perfect way to avoid the curvature of the earth?
That's definitely better than the current one.

Just as Xie Fan was about to speak, Dean Qu raised his hand to stop him. He then looked at Yang Xiaotao and said seriously, "Xiao Yang, we came here to see the actual application effect of satellite phones at sea."

"I think you should also conduct tests in this regard."

After Dean Qu finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously.

"We do have tests for this."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't deny it. After all, the situation at sea was changeable and experiments were necessary.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao did not object, Dean Qu smiled and said, "Then how about this, we can cooperate with each other."

"We don't need your satellite phone. We are just trying to help you with the experiment. You can also send someone to follow us. What do you think?"

After Dean Qu finished speaking, Dean Yu beside him also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Old Qu is right. Let's cooperate to experiment. Then we can have a sea and air exercise and go to the island for a tour."

"This is much more useful than making a phone call on land."

"What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Just waiting for his answer.

In the conference room, everyone was silent, including Yang Xiaotao.

I was struggling with this thought in my mind.

Mr. Zhang is easy to deal with, but these two old deans are not simple people.

Although I am not afraid, there is no need to offend him. What's more, the other party also mentioned Jiang Defu, Zhang Wu, and even many related people.

This face has to be given.

Otherwise the road will easily become narrow.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao smiled at the two of them and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the two old leaders to help with testing the performance of the phone."
