Chapter 318: Satellite Project
Today is a simple meeting, but what everyone didn't expect was that Bao Zixuan actually invested in an automobile factory. This was not expected by the top management of Kyoto, and it can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
In fact, Bao Zixuan had this idea of investing in an automobile factory in Huaxia Continent, but it was only determined when he came over this time. It is to play a leading role, and it can be regarded as an example for Xiangjiang businessmen.
However, when Vice President Zhao was leaving, Bao Zixuan said: "Vice President Zhao, I want to ask you for a favor!"
Vice President Zhao said with a smile: "Xiao Bao always has something to help me with this old man, as long as I can do it, it will be absolutely fine." ”
Bao Zixuan: "I ordered 3 satellites in the United States, and I hope that the national space department will help me launch them." After all, our country's space technology is not bad, and it will be able to save me some money. The cost of launching in the United States is too high, and it should be cheaper in our country. ”
In fact, President Li has already reported this issue to the relevant departments, but because there is no precedent, there has been no unified opinion.
Vice President Zhao: "I know about this, and I also agree that our country's rocket will launch the satellite." Tomorrow someone will arrange for you to come over and meet the people involved. ”
In fact, Vice President Zhao has been instructed by the top leader to let the rocket be used for commercial launches, which can increase experience and earn foreign exchange, which is a double thing.
Hearing Vice President Zhao's words, Bao Zixuan was much more relieved. In fact, it can be launched both in the United States and in the USSR. However, he just wants to make some modest contribution to the development of the motherland.
Huaxia attaches great importance to this rocket launch, after all, this is the first time it is used for commercial launches. If it is successful, then the future is of great significance, and you can continue to receive new orders. Being able to occupy a place in the international satellite launch market is a picture that many people cannot imagine.
Early the next morning, a car came to pick up Bao Zixuan and went to the Kyoto Aerospace Research Institute. Coming to this slightly dilapidated office location, who would have thought that it was in such a humble environment that the Chinese people could make two bombs and one star. This can be said to be a miracle in the history of world industry and technology, and it will always be praised by the world.
Bao Zixuan's visit this time can be said to be the first time that this institute has received outsiders, which is definitely a precedent. After visiting the institute, Bao Zixuan came to the conference room of this institute. Seeing a person he never dreamed of, it turned out to be him waiting for him, which made Bao Zixuan overjoyed, and his excitement was beyond words.
Looking at the fact that he still gave up the super high treatment and welfare of the United States in order to be able to return to China, and at the same time, the country also released 15 American pilots for his smooth return, and the most important thing was that the US undersecretary of defense said: "He alone can be worth the strength of five divisions, this is a legendary figure." ”
Bao Zixuan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said at the same time: "Hello, Qian Lao." How can I let you wait for me here, I am really flattered. ”
Qian Lao: "Junior brother, hello! We graduated from a school, so you don't have to be so polite to me." You are now not just a researcher, a Turing Award winner, and an entrepreneur with ideas. Don't be like this next time, I'm embarrassed. ”
Hearing the title of junior brother, Bao Zixuan remembered that Qian Lao and himself were both MIT graduates. They are alumni relationships, hence the name. In fact, the country also has this consideration, originally with Qian Lao's qualifications and prestige, he can't easily meet outsiders, after all, his safety is also the top priority, and there is no room for sloppiness.
But when I heard it, I saw Bao Zixuan, an alumnus, and he was also the winner of the Turing Award. made Qian Lao interested and hungry, so this meeting was arranged.
Bao Zixuan: "It is a great achievement that you were able to give up everything in the United States and return to China in the old days, and it is a great achievement to be able to make the rocket project a success in a difficult and difficult environment." It also allows us to feel hopeful, and at the same time, it also allows us to dare to return to China with great fanfare to invest and increase our confidence. ”
Qian Lao: "This time, I heard that the junior brother wants us to launch a satellite for you, so that you can think of the motherland for the first time." This is a recognition of our scientific research work, and it is also an opportunity for us to practice. I don't know what the specific parameters of the satellite you want to launch are, the data brought by Xinhua News Agency is not very detailed, I know that some of them are commercial secrets, and you can take them out now!"
In fact, the data that Bao Zixuan brought back to President Li is only the most basic satellite parameters, and it can only be calculated as an approximate value. This is also for the sake of confidentiality, and it is impossible for anyone to easily obtain satellite data.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I have been ready for a long time," so he took out his laptop and began to explain to Qian Lao the specific parameters of the satellite and the effect he wanted to achieve.
Seeing Bao Zixuan's laptop, Qian Lao was stunned in his heart and said: "This is the laptop produced by Heiyun Company, which can actually achieve this effect, and it is so convenient to read drawings on the computer, whether it is enlarged or reduced." Moreover, the blueprints of a satellite can be installed on a computer, which seems to be really a little unable to keep up with the progress of the times. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Don't say that, it's just a simple tool." It's far worse than the aerodynamics you're studying, and I'll make sure you'll learn it if you give it a day. ”
Qian Lao: "What you said is true!"
Bao Zixuan: "I know that it is not good to send you alone, and I am ready to donate 100 computers to the Aerospace Research Institute." I hope to make the best use of it, and it is also a part of my heart. ”
Qian Lao is not a material person, after all, he can give up the high salary in the United States, and the people who returned to China to work at that time were all great men of the times. However, it is about work efficiency and the changes brought about by mastering the latest scientific research results, so he said: "Then I would like to thank the junior brother on behalf of the institute, with this batch of computers, our computing efficiency will be improved a lot." ”
So the two began to discuss the specific launch of the satellite, and Qian Lao is the greatest rocket expert in human history. In his previous life, Bao Zixuan was an aeronautical engineer, and he has a deep understanding of rockets, and he also knows the development direction of rockets in the next few decades.
We talked from morning to evening, during which time the staff came to ask them to eat, but they refused. Qian Lao knew that Bao Zixuan's time in Kyoto was limited this time, so he hoped to take this opportunity to communicate more with the other party. Although he is the world's top rocket expert, he has not communicated much with the outside world over the years, and Bao Zixuan has studied at MIT in recent years, so he will definitely be able to get in touch with the latest scientific research results. Qian Lao is not a person who rests on his laurels, not to mention listening to what Bao Zixuan said can open a new window.
Bao Zixuan didn't expect that under such poor scientific research conditions, Qian Lao's understanding of rockets could be so advanced. It seems that gold shines everywhere, and there is no need for a scholar under the fame.
Until ten o'clock in the evening, the secretaries really couldn't stand it. This interrupted the conversation between them, and Bao Zixuan didn't expect to talk for so long this time, it seems that he should pay attention to time in the future, especially when discussing problems with older people.
Qian Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Li, go and prepare something to eat for me and Mr. Bao." ”
Then he said to Bao Zixuan: "Junior brother, it's okay to be here with me!"
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I'm not particular about eating." ”
After a while, the secretary named Xiao Li brought up the supper. Bao Zixuan looked at a few simple side dishes and didn't know what to say in his heart, this is the top expert in China. The food is so simple, it seems that the life of ordinary people at this point in time is really difficult.
Bao Zixuan said: "Old Qian, you usually eat these." ”
Before Qian Lao could speak, Secretary Xiao Li said, "I saw you coming over, and I have already added two dishes." Qian Lao usually eats the same as us. ”
