Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

An hour later, Wang Changming sent someone to temporarily settle Lin Kaifeng in a guesthouse under the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Shortly after Lin Kaifeng left, Wang Changsheng smoked several cigarettes in a row.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Changsheng wrote a report on the entire process of his meeting with Lin Kaifeng.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Changsheng took a car to his old leader's residence.

inside the house.

An elderly man in his seventies, holding a cigarette, reviewed the report that Wang Changsheng had sent overnight with a serious expression.

"Although some of the ideas proposed by Comrade Lin Kaifeng are somewhat unorthodox, they are not completely without merit."

"I think it is an important suggestion that is in line with our development to propose the early implementation of the patent law to protect our domestic enterprises."

"Let's enact the patent law first, and then slowly discuss the specific details and content."

"Besides that, I think the solar energy technology research he proposed is worth a try."

"Scientific research is supposed to be carried out through trial and error. The Northern Machinery Company is quite powerful and may be able to achieve some results."

Out of his appreciation for Lin Kaifeng, Wang Changsheng tried his best to explain how these projects helped economic development.

The economic reform was carried out under the care of the old leaders.

No one cares more than the old leader.

The speed of economic development is fast or slow.

Whether economic reform can move forward steadily is directly related to the development of science and technology.

The old man took off his reading glasses and smiled faintly: "What a heresy! What we are doing now is also heresy in the eyes of some people."

"Some people are afraid of making mistakes, so they walk in a timid way, even worse than women with bound feet."

"What's wrong with taking bigger steps? If you fall, just get up and keep moving forward."

Wang Changsheng immediately understood the old leader's attitude and said, "Old leader, I will contact several industrial departments in the next few days to hold a meeting to discuss the key issues."

The old leader said with emotion: "At such a young age, he has such vision and such a broad mind. He is indeed a promising talent. It is worth it that you have said so many good things about him."

"The patent law must be implemented as soon as possible. The emergence of patent regulations will not only help protect products, but also further accelerate our scientific research momentum and enhance the work potential of scientific researchers."

After saying that, the old leader put out the cigarette in his hand and lit a new one.

"Comrade Wang Changsheng, I will arrange for several leaders of relevant departments to go to your First Ministry of Machine Building for a meeting tomorrow. Please ask Comrade Lin Kaifeng to give everyone a detailed report, focusing on solar power generation technology and drone projects."

"Yes."

Walking out of the old leader’s residence, Wang Changsheng took a deep breath.

With the support of the old leader, subsequent things will become much smoother.

Lin Kaifeng never expected that Wang Changsheng would act so quickly.

Just one day later, the ministers of several major industrial ministries gathered together.

According to Lin Kaifeng's idea, after reporting his series of suggestions, several major industrial ministries would definitely hold a series of meetings.

It is impossible to give a definite answer without ten days or half a month.

At the meeting, Wang Changsheng spoke first: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, don't be nervous. We called you here today to listen to your solar power generation project. In what aspects will this project serve our country's economic construction? How do you plan to use this technology as our export product?"

"Assist the relevant departments to strengthen ties with the desert countries?"

This meeting was held under the arrangement of the old leader.

Everyone has the same idea

How did Lin Kaifeng's suggestion catch the old leader's eye?

He could get the old leader to come forward and organize this ministerial meeting for him.

Lin Kaifeng took a deep breath and said, "So far, our country has established diplomatic relations with many desert countries, but we don't know much about desert areas. To put it bluntly, we in Longguo still lack a clear understanding of desert areas."

"To put it simply, it can be summed up in two sentences."

“We didn’t know how rich they were.”

"I don't even know how ruthlessly the desert countries spend money."

Wang Changsheng joked: "Since we don't know, you might as well tell us in detail."

"Dear leaders, please give me a few minutes. I need a desert map. Through this map, I will introduce to you in all aspects how the desert world will help the development of our country."

Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng called the staff to prepare a desert map for Lin Kaifeng.

After some searching, a map of desert countries published a few years ago appeared in the conference room.

Lin Kaifeng hung the map on the blackboard in front of the conference room and pointed at the names of several countries.

There are dozens of countries in the desert area, and more than half of them rely on oil to become rich.

Oil brought them unprecedented wealth.

The funds that can be mobilized by each major producing country are almost over 100 billion US dollars.

And this is just the funds they have now.

As long as oil resources continue to be exhausted, these countries will have more and more money.

With the changes in the international situation in recent years, oil is no longer just an energy source, but also a weapon.

A strategic weapon that allows them to challenge the West.

Unconsciously, Lin Kaifeng gradually shifted the topic to the second oil crisis.

Persia, which was regarded as a strategic core by the United States, changed its course not long ago.

Kick the United States away and throw yourself into the arms of the Soviet Union.

Persia's betrayal caused a serious impact on the United States' strategic structure in the desert area.

At the same time, the Soviet Union dispatched tens of thousands of troops to invade a key country in the desert region.

Various military conflicts brought about the far-reaching second global oil crisis.

Oil prices are unpredictable.

The manufacturing industry, which relies heavily on oil, has been severely affected.

The United States is the largest consumer of oil.

For a long time, the United States has been called a country on wheels.

Cars are more common in America than bicycles are in China.

The United States, the world's largest economy, has experienced an economic crisis due to the oil crisis.

The second largest economy, the island nation, was also affected by oil, causing the costs of their strong manufacturing industry to surge.

Since the United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers respectively, they have become the leaders of the Eastern and Western camps.

Desert areas rich in oil resources have become a battleground for superpowers.

In this situation, the desert country can either choose to make friends with the Soviet Union or turn to the United States.

As Longguo opens its doors, it not only needs to strengthen its ties with the world, but also attract investment and purchase equipment and technologies that affect its development.

We must also further expand our influence.

Simply put, it means opening the door and going out.

How to go, how to go?

Where to enhance its international influence.
