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

Shaking his head, Wei Wanli put aside the random things in his mind.

No matter how Lin Kaifeng figured it out, he waited for him to come back specifically to talk about domestic satellite navigation technology.

Since Lin Kaifeng knows satellite navigation technology, there is no need to hide some things anymore.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, since you know about satellite navigation systems, I think you must also know that satellite navigation systems have a position that cannot be replaced by other technologies, whether in the military or civilian fields."

Wei Wanli said solemnly: "The US GPS system is the most mature technology among the current satellite navigation systems. Even the Soviet Union is a little weaker than them."

"The United States has repeatedly stated that the GPS system will not be used in the military field, but it is the United States' consistent style of saying one thing and doing another. It is undeniable that the GPS system can be used for navigation in cars, airplanes, and ships."

"But at the same time, it can also be used in the field of missile precision guidance."

"Assuming that Northern Machinery Company is willing to invest in this technology, when the country has its own satellite navigation system, the technology will have great prospects in the civilian field and can help your company produce products with more distinctive attributes."

"It can help the country better and improve its overall military strength."

If Wei Wanli had not been left with no other options, he would not have placed all his hopes on a commodity manufacturing company.

The Longguang computer produced by Northern Machinery Company has become a favorite of experts from various industrial departments.

It also attracted great attention from the old leaders.

Lin Kaifeng and his Northern Machinery Company have now become popular with their old leader.

Other companies do not have the ability, let alone the qualifications, to participate in such an important project as domestic satellite navigation technology.

If the situation happened to Northern Machinery Company, the result would be different.

Northern Machinery Company has money and is valued and cared for by its superiors.

As long as Wei Wanli convinces Lin Kaifeng.

With Lin Kaifeng's full cooperation, the relevant departments will definitely approve and start research on the navigation system.

The problem now is how to convince Lin Kaifeng.

How to get him to use his overseas network and a large amount of funds.

Working together with the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building to develop this technology.

"Mr. Wei, I understand what you mean. Okay."

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, we can actually...what did you say, can?!"

Wei Wanli was confused.

The next second, Wei Wanli stood up from the sofa and said incredulously: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you just said yes?"

"I said yes."

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "Chief Engineer Wei, I understand all the principles you said. The satellite navigation system is not only a clairvoyant, but also a clairaudient."

"It can have a wider range of effects than what you described. When the country is in trouble, how can Northern Machinery Company sit idly by? Moreover, as you said, having our own satellite navigation system will be of immeasurable value in both the military and civilian fields."

“It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of domestic satellite navigation research is no less than the development of mushroom bombs when we did it.”

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, do you really think so?"

Wei Wanli was surprised and happy.

Lin Kaifeng is just the head of a company, but he has such a long-term strategic vision.

Wei Wanli also said this to the leaders of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Satellite navigation systems are indeed as important as weapons of mass destruction.

Navigation technology is just in its infancy, and the United States is only temporarily ahead of the world.

If Longguo starts catching up now, it may only take a few years, or at most a dozen years, to catch up with the United States.

Among more than 100 countries in the world, only China and the United States have satellite navigation systems.

Other countries can either get help from this system, or go to Longguo, or cooperate with the United States.

In any case, this technology can greatly enhance Dragon Country's national defense security and international status.

Value cannot be estimated in terms of money.

Lin Kaifeng said: "I still remember what the old leader said two days ago. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you fall behind in military affairs, you will be beaten. If you fall behind in science and technology, you will also be beaten."

"The United States didn't beat you today because it didn't want to. They are going to teach you a lesson. Even if you are a little behind the United States, you will be beaten black and blue by them."

After hearing this, Wei Wanli nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "I will rush back to the department and try to convince the department leaders in the shortest possible time to submit an application to the higher authorities. You also need to cooperate with us and submit an application as well."

"You are now in a very high position in the old leader's heart. Once you and I submit our applications at the same time, I think the old leader will definitely approve it."

Lin Kaifeng said without thinking: "Don't worry, I will draft the application now. If the old leader has any doubts, I can even go to Beijing in person and assure the old leader in person."

With Lin Kaifeng's firm assurance, Wei Wanli's old face was filled with smiles.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

In order to convince Lin Kaifeng, Wei Wanli thought of a lot of words.

Make up your mind secretly.

He would not return to Beijing unless he persuaded Lin Kaifeng to invest in domestic satellite navigation technology.

How long has it been?

In less than half an hour, Lin Kaifeng readily agreed.

He appeared more urgent than Wei Wanli.

With Northern Machinery's overseas network and funding, the birth of a satellite navigation system is bound to be just around the corner.

Looking at Wei Wanli who left with a laugh, Lin Kaifeng walked back to his desk and sat down.

Scientific researchers in Longguo have begun to pay attention to the changes that satellite navigation systems will bring to the world pattern.

It was not until ten years later that Western countries, or other countries except Long Country, realized the horror of satellite navigation systems.

Ten years later, the United States fought a modern war that dazzled the whole world.

With the assistance of satellite navigation systems, the United States has maximized electronic warfare and information warfare.

The country of Latvia, which claims to be the third most powerful military country in the world, has become deaf and dumb.

The satellite navigation system guided the missiles and aircraft to carry out precise attacks, making the country of Latvia dizzy.

After this war, the whole world felt a visceral fear of the United States for the first time.

It also made Longguo pay more attention to the role of satellite navigation.

Three years later, the United States demonstrated its hegemonic claim to the world that those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish.

Blatantly treating Long Kingdom as an imaginary enemy.

The maritime GPS signal of a Longguo freighter was shut down, leaving the ship in an awkward situation where it could neither move forward nor retreat.

Immediately afterwards, the United States dispatched a large number of warships to surround the freighter.

It lasted for three weeks.

Longguo learned from its mistakes and formed a team the following year to conduct research on domestic satellite navigation systems.

After 19 years, Longguo finally completed its domestic satellite navigation system.

It became the third country in the world to have independent satellite navigation.

The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building extended an olive branch, and Lin Kaifeng had no reason to refuse.

And I will never refuse.
