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

"Comrades, I think this little friend Lin Kaifeng doesn't want us to be idle for even a moment."

"We just came back and Lin Kaifeng launched another super-large satellite."

"His Northern Machinery Company is preparing to conduct joint research on key projects with the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building to develop a satellite navigation system for our Dragon Country."

"Everyone is welcome to speak freely about their opinions, and we will strive to reach a clear result through today's discussion."

Beijing, Central Agency Conference Room No. 1.

Heads of various departments gathered together.

While smoking, the old leader mentioned the reports submitted by Lin Kaifeng and Wei Wanli.

This morning, Wei Wanli, chief engineer of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, returned to Beijing in a hurry and reported a big news to his old leader as soon as possible.

On behalf of the Northern Machinery Company, Lin Kaifeng will invest a large sum of money into the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and provide all possible assistance to facilitate the implementation of the project.

Together with relevant departments, we will develop Longguo’s own satellite navigation system.

The United States' satellite navigation system is becoming more and more mature.

The Soviet Union also began to pay a certain degree of attention to this aspect.

If Longguo does not conduct research now, it will be left far behind by the United States.

There is even a possibility that they will be threatened by the Soviet Union again.

We should catch up now, even if we cannot surpass the United States in the short term.

At least we can stay ahead of the Soviet Union.

Given the Soviet Union's scientific research capabilities and economic strength, once they also begin to research satellite navigation technology, it will be extremely difficult for China to catch up.

The number of competitors standing in front of you will increase from one to two.

As we all know, the more the United States denies something, the more it means they are going to do it.

Although the United States has repeatedly stated that the deployment of satellite navigation systems into space is intended to improve the technological content of civilian products and increase the competitiveness of these products.

These words can only fool a three-year-old child who knows nothing.

In the eyes of technical experts.

What the United States claims is an attempt to cover up one's own faults.

According to the United States' consistent behavior, they will inevitably use the satellite navigation system in the military field.

The weapons that match this technology will not be ordinary weapons.

With the assistance of this technology, strategic weapons such as aircraft, warships, attack nuclear submarines, missiles, etc. will have the ability to see and hear from afar.

The accuracy of US missiles is superior to that of Dragon Country.

If US missiles are combined with satellite navigation systems, they can hit whatever they are pointed at.

The matter was of great importance, so the old leader immediately called a meeting of the heads of various departments.

The project of developing a domestic satellite navigation system is a major matter.

Countless departments and units will be involved.

It is not something that the old leader can decide alone.

Only through collective discussion can we determine whether the project should be launched.

"Comrades, the Northern Machinery Company is a large and powerful company, and the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is a leader in aerospace technology. The cooperation between the two companies can be described as a strong alliance."

"But then again, nothing is foolproof. Northern Machinery Company is willing to invest a large sum of money to assist the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building in developing a satellite navigation system. I need to know the attitudes of your various departments. Do you support it or do you have other ideas?"

Seeing that no one spoke, the old leader simply spoke out and made things clear.

The project is of extraordinary significance, and the technical difficulties hidden behind it cannot be ignored.

The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and higher authorities repeatedly rejected Wei Wanli's application because of two difficult issues that were difficult to resolve.

First, of course, is money.

Secondly, among the nearly one billion people in Dragon Country, there are very few people who understand satellite navigation technology.

Without money and talent, any project will fail.

"Since Northern Machinery Company has promised to go all out to assist Chief Engineer Wei, we should trust Comrade Lin Kaifeng and support the decision of Northern Machinery Company."

The first person to stand up and express his attitude was none other than Lin Kaifeng's supporter, the Minister of the First Ministry of Machine Building, Wang Changsheng.

It is undeniable.

There are indeed difficulties of one kind or another in the research of satellite navigation systems.

But don’t forget.

What Lin Kaifeng is best at is turning decay into magic and making the impossible possible.

"Since the establishment of Northern Machinery Company, has Lin Kaifeng faced few difficulties?"

"A few years ago, who would have believed that our products exported to the United States would become household names and bestsellers there?"

“Who else would believe that Comrade Lin Kaifeng could turn a county-level enterprise into a national foreign exchange earner?”

"Their products are selling well overseas, and Comrade Lin Kaifeng has demonstrated his spirit of self-reliance and fearlessness of difficulties, which has enabled Northern Machinery Company to have the ability to manufacture some vehicles."

"All industrial ministries are now facing more or less problems, which can be summed up in one word: money."

Wang Changsheng went straight to the core issue.

The country’s weak economy has resulted in many key projects being cancelled or unable to be launched.

With the country's doors open, Longguo is eager to make up for lost time.

They concentrated their few resources to do big things and purchased large quantities of foreign production equipment and technology.

While others spend one cent as if it were two cents, each department would like to spend one cent as if it were one dollar.

now.

The research on satellite navigation technology does not require a single cent from the state, nor does it require funding from several major industrial ministries.

Northern Machinery Company raised funds on its own to assist Chief Engineer Wei in implementing the project.

For the sake of the country and the people, all departments should support them in completing this key project.

More than a year ago, Wei Wanli submitted reports to the department and superiors intensively.

Everyone here has some understanding of satellite navigation technology.

The role of this technology in the military field is far greater than its value in the civilian field.

Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Comrades, times have changed. We should not stick to one pattern when doing things, and should handle special matters in a special way."

“If other companies and factories try to cooperate with the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building on satellite technology, the relevant departments need to think twice and analyze all the issues.”

"Once something happens to Lin Kaifeng and Northern Machinery Company, we can let them go and have their way."

"The state has developed the Northern Machinery Company into a key foreign exchange earning unit and has regarded Lin Kaifeng as a pioneer in economic reform. Since he is a pioneer, his hands and feet should not be tied all the time."

These words resonated with everyone.

At the same time, it also made the old leader feel deeply gratified.

Free your thoughts, drop your burdens, and move forward lightly.

This is what the old leaders have repeatedly reminded everyone, and it is also one of the development guidelines for economic reform.

The satellite navigation system can indeed play a significant role in the military field, which is why the old leader did not express his support explicitly.

No matter what, it’s because of lack of money.

The country is short of money, and none of the major industrial ministries is not short of money.

"I support Minister Wang's idea. Special matters should be handled specially."

Vice Minister Zhao of the Third Ministry of Machine Building said loudly: "If we want to carry out reform, we can't just stick to the old ways."
