Chapter 37 Dean, we are very confident now!
Beijing, foreign guest house.
Turgenev and others sent by the Bear Country were sitting in the room in a depressed mood.
Two months before and after, seven discussions, all failed.
"What's going on?" Kovsky looked at Turgenev and asked.
"Didn't you say last time that they were in a trap and that their military experts couldn't handle the core technology of the 956E? Faced with the tense maritime situation, they would be very eager to purchase two more 956Es! How did it become like this now?"
"How do I know? I'm still surprised."
Turgenev looked helpless.
In the past few discussions, the two parties went in both directions. They took the initiative, and Wang De also showed goodwill.
But the last two times, there was no room for negotiation.
Even Kofsky hinted that the price could be reduced slightly, but Wang De remained indifferent.
It seems that whoever is good will outlast the other, but now Turgenev and others are anxious.
"Did they really make a breakthrough on the 956E?"
As soon as Kovsky finished speaking, Turgenev shook his head like a rattle.
He said firmly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Back then, I was in the same class as Zhang Gongnong, and his grades were indeed better than mine, but you are not unaware of China's scientific research difficulties! And over the years, my accumulation has become deeper and deeper, and the gap between Zhang Gongnong and me has long been reversed, and is now greatly Keep the distance!"
"Even so, I can't say how sure I am of understanding the core technology of 956E!"
After a pause, Turgenev added.
“Don’t forget, if they had really made progress, they wouldn’t have contacted us two months ago, and we wouldn’t be here!”
Another representative asked Said: "Then what do you think Wang De and the others mean?"
"Perhaps you want to be more patient with us? But this time we deliberately waited for half a month." Turgenev spread his hands: "Chinese people are too good at strategies, I can't figure it out."
Those words As soon as it came out, everyone present fell into silence.
In fact, they also attach great importance to this purchase.
The reason why the price is so high is, on the one hand, the tense situation in the surrounding sea areas, which forces China to grit its teeth and squeeze out money to buy it.
On the other hand, the domestic economy of the Woolly Bear Country is not doing well either. Hundreds of millions more dollars would be needed to greatly ease the pressure on the military industry.
It was originally a matter of fighting and suffering, but something changed because of the appearance of Su Dingping.
Turgenev here said conclusively that Chinese naval military experts could not handle 956E, but he never dreamed that Su Dingping and the professors from the 335 Research Institute had unplugged the chips they left on 956E. As for the back door, the day is not far away when we can fully understand the core technology of the 956E main ship.
A few people stared at each other, but they couldn't figure out the reason.
"How about you go find your old classmate to inquire about the situation?" Kovsky looked at Turgenev and said.
Zhang Gongnong?
Turgenev immediately rejected the proposal as he thought of the unhappy breakup he had had with Zhang Gongnong at the beginning of the month.
“This man is arrogant and stubborn, there is no need to have too much contact with him.”
“What should we do?”
After pondering for a while, Turgenev said: “ How about contacting the headquarters and letting the headquarters make the decision?”
The few people hit it off and contacted the headquarters immediately.
Not long after, Turgenev and others breathed a sigh of relief.
This time the headquarters decided to reduce the price, but the bottom line is 1.6 billion US dollars.
“With a direct drop of 200 million US dollars, Wang De and the others will definitely not be able to sit still.”
Turgenev is very confident that the next negotiation will be successful.
In the 408 Research Institute, one hundred kilometers away from the guest house, Lu Guangjun was leading researchers in the conference room to discuss the secondary improvement of 051B.
After returning last night, he and the two vice presidents studied the research results report given by Su Dingping all night, and he became more confident.
He didn't even sleep. At dawn, he called all the researchers involved in the improvement of 051B to gather.
"...Everyone, now I am a hundred times confident in improving 051B!"
The researchers below were filled with suspicion when they saw Lu Guangjun's radiant look. Looking at the two vice-deans sitting there with confidence and smiles on their faces, they felt even more confused.
The three principals disappeared for more than ten days. Why did they immediately restart the 051B improvement plan when they came back? Isn't this too fast? After all, it takes a few months to find out the problem, then overcome it, and then improve it!
It’s only been ten days and I can’t find any problems!
Even if you go to the West to study, it won’t be so fast. Seeing everyone's confused look, Lu Guangjun said to the two vice-presidents: "Hand out all the information you brought back and let them see it too."
Immediately, the two The vice president distributed the large amount of information brought back.
Soon, the sound of documents being turned over was heard in the conference room.
After a while, a researcher suddenly said.
"Wonderful, Sfro's multiple transformations can actually be combined with Dafti's Radio Code. Why didn't I think of that!"
Others also said excitedly.
“I have some new ideas for the combination of steam turbine and cruising diesel engine!”
“The terminal brake of the projectile...”
"Dean, where did you get this information? It's too valuable!"
Looking at the excited people, Lu Guangjun was in a trance.
Go to the 335 Research Institute to ask Sun Yongguo for an explanation before you fail, otherwise there will be no gains.
"Everyone, do you have confidence now?"
"Dean, we are very confident!"
"Dean, give us some time, there will be no problem!"
Putting away his smile, Lu Guangjun said seriously.
"We vow to successfully improve 051B this time! If we still fail, I, the dean, will quit! Everyone, Chief Xu is still waiting for our news. We must start here to fight back against the Western technology blockade. Second shot!”
Second shot?
Has the first shot been fired successfully?
But I haven’t heard any movement during this period of time!
After contacting the information in front of them again, they were shocked and also had some speculations.
As soon as the meeting ended, everyone immediately rushed into the laboratory and invested in a new round of improvement plans.
As soon as Lu Guangjun returned to the office, the phone in front of him rang.
"Hello? Lao Lu? You finally answered the phone! Last time you said you would call me at night, and I have been waiting for more than ten days! I couldn't get through when I called you. I called your office to say you were not here. I I thought something happened to you!”
Cheng Yiqiang poured out his frustrations on the other end of the phone.
"What happened? Our discussion with the Mao Xiong Country is again..."
"Old Cheng, I have something to do now. I will contact you later."
Lu Guangjun hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to say more.
He didn't have time to explain to Cheng Yiqiang now, so he packed up the materials and went straight to the laboratory.
Cheng Yiqiang, who was hung up on twice, was furious.
I immediately flew directly to the capital, vowing to get an explanation and find out.
A few hours later, Cheng Yiqiang stood at the door of the 408 Research Institute, confused.
The entire 408 Research Institute has entered a state of martial law, and no one is allowed in or out.
After struggling for half an hour, I couldn’t get in or contact Lu Guangjun.
"Okay, old Lu, hide from me!" Suddenly, he thought that Lu Guangjun had accepted his advice and went to the 335 Research Institute, and then he suddenly changed into a different person.
"I want to see what secrets 335 Research Institute has that make you so secretive that you can't even see me!"
Immediately, he took a special plane and flew directly to Harbin.
A few hours later, Cheng Yiqiang, standing at the door of the 335 Research Institute, was dumbfounded.
The 335 Research Institute has also entered martial law, and Wan Long leads people to guard it. No one is allowed in or given out.
"Okay, you win, I'll leave! I'll just leave!"
Now he completely lost his temper and flew back in despair.
Three days later, a military vehicle drove towards the military base in the northern seas.
After seeing the license plate clearly, the sentry officer immediately saluted: "Hello, Chief!"
