Chapter 335 The True Patriot
“FutureX?”
On the way back, Andrew couldn’t wait to open the file.
This is a top secret project plan.
The starting point of the project dates back 28 years.
At that time.
The Space Command proposed four concepts: control of space, global engagement, comprehensive force integration and global cooperation.
In this context, multiple space projects codenamed X were produced.
After the great changes, most of the projects have fallen into disrepair.
Only one project No. 37 survived. After being displaced, it came to the hands of the current Space Force Rapid Response Office, code-named "Return to the Stars Project".
Judging from the progress disclosed in the document, this project has completed part of the verification, which is serious.
The restart of this project was entirely handled by Whiteman.
He and his allies have already tasted a lot of sweetness in this project.
He didn’t know how many packs of screws he had sold for a pack of 90,000 dollars.
But no matter how good the money tree is, it will eventually dry up.
If Project No. 37 continues, it will cost a lot of money, and there will be many technical flaws.
If you dig deep, the secret will be revealed.
So Whiteman thought that instead of passively discovering it, it would be better to proactively stop the project.
Currently, Project No. 37 has encountered a bottleneck and is undergoing evaluation from all aspects. He needs more people to stand on his side, point out the flaws of this project, and then stop work as a matter of course.
Andrew is part of this play.
Because this project is the project of the old oligarchs, Andrew is the bridgehead against the old oligarchs.
As long as he is allowed to intervene, he will definitely vote against it without hesitation.
His calculation was correct.
After reading the plan, Andrew was indeed ready to vote against it.
But the reason for voting was not against the old oligarchs.
It's because he has his own understanding.
Andrew stayed up late at night to read, studied the entire plan inside and out, and consulted several engineers, and then he came to a terrible conclusion.
Although Project No. 37 has some shortcomings, it is generally close to success.
Once this project reaches the launch verification stage, they will once again take the initiative in space.
Space vehicles like this can, on a smaller scale, participate in the construction of space infrastructure.
On a larger scale, if applied to the military field...
The consequences would be disastrous.
They are already strong in space technology. If Project 37 makes further progress, the gap that was finally closed will be repeated again.
So Andrew closed the computer, faced the plan, and gritted his teeth.
"Returning to the stars...you must die!"
Carry over the first working day of the weekend.
Andrew pushed aside all his schedule and came to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, where the rapid response office is located.
At this time.
A large-scale demonstration meeting is still ongoing.
At the adjournment stage.
Pinkman, the head of the rapid response office, went out in person to greet Andrew grandly.
"Sir, His Excellency VP has long said that you are coming. On behalf of the Space Force Rapid Response Office, I would like to warmly welcome you."
Pinkman can distinguish between big and small kings.
Andrew is a popular player at VP and has huge energy.
So he licked it very hard.
"Hello, Colonel, am I not late?"
Pinkman waved his hand: "No, they just finished a round of hearings this morning."
"Why? How? ”
“It’s not clear. There is some controversy in the current project. The sonic and space weapons responsible for the research and development There are major differences in the laboratory, mainly on aerodynamic design and on-orbit and de-orbit control issues."
Andrew chewed on the project documents all night, so he said: "Since it is a space vehicle, OMS and OMS. Of course, the assistance and trimming of RCS will not be as simple as that of ordinary aircraft.”
Upon hearing this, Pinkman's eyes lit up: "Sir, do you also conduct research on the automatic control of aircraft?"
"It can't be called research, but our company's products have something in common with this project."< br>
Pinkman nodded happily: "Then VP asked you to be the observer of this project, so you have chosen the right person!"
At this moment.
A group of people walked out of the conference room.
Most of them have Chinese faces.
Andrew just glanced at it and didn't care much.
Until Pinkman waved his hand and stopped the leader.
"DR.HU, please come here."
A young yellow man walked over with a tired face.
Pinkman pointed at the young man and faced Andrew: "Sir, you two will definitely have something to say."
"His name is Hu Tianhe, he is the person in charge of the subdivision project of the Space Force Laboratory, and he happens to be in charge of just now We are talking about on-orbit automated control.”
“I believe you can tell that he is also Asian.”
At first, Andrew didn’t want to pay much attention.
But after Pinkman’s introduction, he cheered up.
There is no other reason.
The man in front of me is too young.
Due to Asians’ racial talent in mathematics, it is common to see them in similar engineering programs.
This phenomenon is somewhat stereotyped, just like black people without fathers.
But most Asians only play the role of grassroots researchers in the project, and their level is not high.
According to Pinkman.
This young man’s surname is Hu, which indicates that he may be a first-generation immigrant who has not yet been fully westernized and has his own name.
But even so, he is still the person in charge of the project, which seems strange.
After looking up and down, Andrew asked friendly.
“Is Dr. Hu an immigrant?”
Hu Tianhe nodded: "Yes."
"Growing up here?"
"It doesn't count. I was there before elementary school, and then I received education here. , and then I fell in love with the atmosphere here."
"You mean the academic atmosphere?"
Hu Tianhe showed an expression of enjoyment: "Everything includes this sweet air! .”
"..."
Andrew was speechless for a moment, and his stomach was churning.
Don’t look at this kid who looks like a five-year-old.
When I opened my mouth, the taste was so strong!
Andrew can guarantee that this guy will be a lifelong subscriber of Yilin.
What a dog with so many things!
Yes.
You received your education here, but where did your tuition come from?
Isn’t it brought from China?
With domestic money and a relatively advanced education, I just don’t want to go back.
He even added the sweet air thing.
I felt so sick that I vomited.
Andrew tried his best to endure it.
Doughnuts were not uncommon during the days he lived here.
But those goods are all rubbish, and coming here can only be of no help. Although the words are a bit disgusting, they are not very harmful.
But intellectuals like Hu Tianhe are different.
We are not afraid that they will be bad, but we are afraid that the bad people will be educated.
At such a young age, this guy is already the subdivision person in charge of major projects.
He is undoubtedly capable.
Such people are determined to be donuts, which not only arms the enemy, but also endangers themselves, causing great losses.
The most important thing is that due to his position, Andrew can only be a comrade with this guy.
So he could only smile slightly and nod in recognition of Hu Tianhe. "Okay, talents like Dr. Hu are the best embodiment of our diverse social values."
Hu Tianhe forced a smile: "To each other."
< br>Although he knew that Andrew was also a donut, he always felt that he was acting strangely.
The best embodiment of diverse social values——?
Aren’t you just saying that I am a traitor?
Oh!
Bad luck!
But...
Bad luck is bad luck, and the character design is considered dead.
"So sir, are you...?"
Seeing Hu Tianhe's question, Pinkman immediately stood up to explain.
“This is Mr. Andrew, the CEO of a well-known innovative technology company in China.”
“Oh, no wonder I feel familiar.”
Hu Tianhe was not being polite, he had also heard of Andrew's name.
It’s just that I don’t quite match the number.
Because there are too many Chinese CEOs now, and the ingredients are all complicated.
So he was also curious: "Has Mr. Andrew always been working in China?"
Andre waved his hand: "No, I used to work in a company on the other side of the country, and then changed. Several multinational companies later established companies in the country. ”
Hu Tianhe nodded slightly, thinking that he was on target!
He was almost right.
A guy like this, who looks like a human and a dog, must be a little bit stupid.
With the background of studying abroad, he is now prosperous in China and has reached a high position in a large company.
Then take the accumulated resources and come back here to be a dog leg.
Compared to those who are publicly known, this kind of person is the most terrifying.
First of all, they have worked in the country and know the basics.
Secondly, they have money and can leverage resources.
Once this kind of person eats dog food, he will have endless troubles.
Andrew, right...
Hu Tianhe has already written his name ruthlessly in the notebook.
When you meet your leaders tomorrow, be sure to remind them to focus on this high-level shepherd dog.
After a general understanding, the two parties shook hands in a friendly manner with Pinkman's help.
But I don’t know why.
Pinkman always felt that there was a chill when the two men shook hands.
"Dr. Hu, Mr. Andrew is currently an observer of this project. It just so happens that you can brief him on the progress?"
Hu Tianhe nodded: "The project is going very well so far."
"We A complete control system has been developed system."
"If we can agree with Sonic on the aerodynamic layout."
"I guarantee you that this project will be the best on this planet since the computer revolution. Great scientific progress.”
The words fell.
Andrew couldn't help but raise his hands and snap.
My heart is full of mmp.
There are stimulants in the dog food you received or something?
You really work hard.
The most annoying thing is that looking at Hu Tianhe's happy look, he seems to have really mastered the core technology.
That won’t work.
If you were great, wouldn’t our efforts be in vain?
Fortunately, Andrew is not stupid. He also knows the situation of the project and said frankly.
“As far as I know, there are still certain bottlenecks in this project, right?”
Hu Tianhe is only responsible for controlling the system, so he is blindly optimistic.
But he also had to admit Andrew's doubts: "I heard that they still have certain problems in layout and power, but I believe they will be solved."
"Why did Dr. Hu just Are you so sure? You are an expert in control engineering and not in aerodynamic layout, right?"
"I..."
Hu Tianhe already dislikes this. Goods.
Because everything he said is true.
Project No. 37 is currently experiencing bottlenecks and half-way progress.
This part of the technology I developed is relatively mature, but other than that, the aerodynamics and power are relatively stretched.
Other laboratories don’t even have a unified direction.
This has also led to the project being questioned today.
This is the situation Hu Tianhe least wants to see.
Because Project No. 37 is his hard work and his main work content.
He knew from the beginning that this project was destined to fail.
But this project involves a lot of resources and uses a wide range of resources.
As long as the project continues, resources will continue to be wasted.
therefore.
Hu Tianhe is the most radical among all the laboratories, and he has a clear-cut stand to continue the work.
Other laboratories are not so optimistic. Some universities feel that this project is too difficult and have withdrawn.
I heard that the competent authorities have begun to waver recently and want to stop it.
Judging from the tone of this guy named Andrew, he has also preset a position and does not want the project to continue.
Then Hu Tianhe can no longer follow his wishes.
“As long as it is a scientific research project, there will definitely be bottlenecks. If there are bottlenecks, we will just overcome them.”
Andrew smiled but said: “I admire Dr. Hu’s academic attitude very much. But what about the cost? This project costs taxpayers’ money.”
“That’s right! Use taxpayers’ money to arm taxpayers,” Hu Tianhe said fiercely.
“What if it fails?”
Hu Tianhe: "If you fail, try again. We have no retreat in this competition. Either they have the initiative, or we are."
Andrew looked at Hu Tianhe's whirring, and thought to himself that this guy is poisoned. Too deep.
This is not a problem that Kanyi Lin can cultivate.
He seems to sincerely want to make America strong.
Is this okay?
So he also got a little ahead: "I am an entrepreneur, and I care more about social costs. If our country is dragged into the quagmire because of a project, who will bear the responsibility?"
"It's not you anyway. Negative." Hu Tianhe said directly.
Andrew: "What do you mean?"
Hu Tianhe "What do I mean? Tell me what you mean?"
Andrew: "I stand for the taxpayers angle! ”
Hu Tianhe: "From the perspective of taxpayers, you should think about how to build the country. If this project fails, you will hand over the space initiative to Dongda. I doubt your position."
Andrew: “So you’re spending tens of billions of taxpayers’ money on a project. Aren’t you helping Dongda?”
Hu Tianhe: “You said I was a spy?”
Andrew: “The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.”
Hu. Tianhe: "Are you talking about idioms? Isn't it clear who the spy is?"
“*/%&*￥”
“*/-*/￥#@*&”
“F*ck&$#@!”
“Fuck* &^%”
“……………………”
"Boy, okay! It's understandable that we all have differences about the project. We will discuss the specific matters at the demonstration meeting. Please stop attacking each other."
It was not easy to persuade the two of them to go away, Pink Mancai breathed a sigh of relief.
At first they talked well in English.
Later, I simply used my mother tongue.
Although Pinkman didn't know what they said, judging from their tone, they should be swearing.
But whatever.
This is not a personal attack.
This is just the analysis of the route by two true patriots. There is no right or wrong.
