In the turn of the day, the movements of the troops were all very fast. The team of the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center went directly to Dagang by plane.

Dagang is an important base of the navy, not only a military base, but also an educational, logistical, command, and scientific research base. In this city, there are many units related to the navy.

In this way, Hu Wenhai should concentrate on the relevant technology of marine electric transmission, at least there is no need to worry about the support, and the resources that can be used can be said to be quite abundant.

From the Navy's Naval Academy in Dagang, a series of seaside teaching buildings have been specially set aside to house scientific research personnel from the imperial capital.

These logistical preparations only took two days. The navy, so to speak, has exerted the greatest enthusiasm for this project.

"Hello Mr. Hu, this is Pan Jingfu, the chief engineer of our 052 destroyer. ”

Hu Wenhai's old acquaintance, Zhang Shaozhong, with his trademark friendly smile, stood on the school's large playground and introduced Hu Wenhai to the mentally healthy old man beside him.

It seems that many people in the military industrial system have similar temperaments, like sharp swords and pine and cypress between mountain peaks and cliffs. Just standing there gives birth to a kind of indomitable spirit.

And the older you get, the more profound this temperament becomes. When it comes to Pan Jingfu's body, this sharp sword is more like an extra scabbard. Hiding the sharpness in the chest, but showing a calmness.

Pan Jingfu looked at the young man in front of him with some curiosity, although he had long heard that someone was willing to pay out of his own pocket to support naval research, but when he really saw Hu Wenhai himself, he still felt a little incredulous.

"Master Pan, I'm Hu Wenhai. ”

Hu Wenhai smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Pan Jingfu. The chief designer of the Type 052 destroyer in the original history came back to his senses and shook hands with Hu Wenhai.

"This is researcher Fan Xiaohong, who specializes in cooperating with Mr. Hu to develop the shipboard IPS system. Zhang Shaozhong then pointed behind Pan Jingfu, a female researcher in her thirties, who took the initiative to stretch out her hand this time.

Zhang Shaozhong continued to introduce with some pride: "Researcher Fan only returned to China last year, and before that, he studied for a doctorate at Alabama State University in the United States, but he is a rare highly educated talent in our navy!"

"That's great!" Hu Wenhai laughed heartily: "With the addition of Researcher Fan, the burden on my body is much lighter!"

When Hu Wenhai saw Fan Xiaohong, he knew that this was the person sent by the navy to really preside over the project. As the chief engineer of 052, Pan Jingfu is inseparable from him and the Land Joint Investigation and Research Institute, and he will definitely sit in the south for a long time.

And Hu Wenhai himself is a big mess, even if he can use the recent period of technology by all odds, he will finally hand over the routine technology development to other researchers. In this way, the responsibility for setting the tone and ensuring that the research does not go out of tune will fall on this researcher Fan Xiaohong.

As a large project with an investment of up to 100 million US dollars and 100 million yuan, it is even more impossible for the navy to send an unreliable person at will. This is the first time that the Navy has cooperated with Hu Wenhai on a major project, and it is necessary to leave a good impression on both sides.

"Mr. Hu, don't laugh at me, who doesn't know that there is a Hu Wenhai in China in the semiconductor industry in the United States. I've heard about your level of research in computer science at Alabama State University, and I'm very satisfied to be able to give you a start. ”

The large-scale server alliance that Hu Wenhai tossed out in the United States can be said to have almost rewritten the direction of computer development. The layman may be a little foggy, but to those who know the inside story, it is simply a little incredible. And the idea of a drawer server proposed by him, as well as his vision for data exchange, makes it impossible to question his professional ability.

Fan Xiaohong's ability may be ranked in the top ten in the naval system, and she is a rare highly-educated returnee. In these years, people like her and Ni Guangnan gave up their promising prospects abroad and were willing to return to China to do basic research, which can be said to be rare. Not only is the character trustworthy, but the professional skills are also outstanding.

The more this is the case, the more they know what kind of existence Hu Wenhai has in the semiconductor industry. If it weren't for Hu Wenhai's lack of mixing in academic circles, he would have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days after the papers were posted, maybe he would have been able to brush up on a member of the department.

No matter how much he doesn't pay attention to academic prestige, he also belongs to the kind of hidden boss in the domestic semiconductor academic circle, "I am not in the rivers and lakes, but there is my legend in the rivers and lakes".

"Researcher Fan is so polite, I really want you to do more. Hu Wenhai scratched his head and said with a smile: "You also know that it is unlikely that I will continue to preside over the project in Dagang for a long time, and the daily work arrangement will definitely be more troublesome for you." ”

"Mr. Hu can rest assured, I will definitely do this job well. Fan Xiaohong said very sincerely.

Hu Wenhai turned his head to look at Zhang Shaozhong, hugged him hard, and said hesitantly: "Zhang Yan - this time I'm going to call you Zhang Ju, I've been trying to pull Zhang Ju to set up a military research institute, why don't you let go, you can't escape from the palm of my hand this time, right?"

Zhang Shaozhong smiled bitterly: "What did Mr. Hu say, haven't I been busy." It's not, you need me, I'm here. ”

"The mouth is wrong, you!" Hu Wenhai smiled: "It's not for you to take off your military uniform, this future military theory research bureau is also going to be jointly run with the army." Zhang Ju, you are a rare linguistic genius of our army, and you are very proficient in all Chinese, and you can easily track the military dynamics of various countries. For example, this time, what advantages our integrated all-electric system can have in future wars, and how to carry forward these advantages, must always have theoretical support. Otherwise, the equipment has been made, and it will only be used as a strengthened traditional version, but it is not a tyrannical thing? Besides, I'm sorry for the hard work of our researchers, isn't it?"

"What Mr. Hu said is right, so I'm not here. Zhang Shaozhong put away his embarrassed look, and finally showed a smile: "Hey, I'm too--how did you say it in Mr. Hu's words? I don't want to say it, but when I think of being able to work for you as a big capitalist, I can't wait in my heart!"

"I said let's stop standing, it's weird that the sun is shining. Zhang Shaozhong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Pan Jingfu and Fan Xiaohong, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's go, lunch has been arranged in the canteen, let's talk while eating." ”

"Zhang Ju is right, the sea cucumbers here in Dagang are quite good, today let's try the famous Lu dish roasted sea cucumber!"

Hu Wenhai nodded again and again, the five-year wild sea cucumber was put thirty years later, even he didn't often have this mouthful. However, in the 80s, you didn't want to eat farmed sea cucumbers! If you don't care about anything else, just talk about the level of delicacies and seafood, 80% of the level in the past 30 years of China's reform and opening up has been regressive. It's nothing else, it's just that good wild ingredients have been abundant in recent years. In ten years, I will find anything wild on the market.

When you arrive in Dagang, how can you not taste this seafood feast?

What's more, if you want to entertain an old military expert like Pan Jingfu, no matter how much money you spend, Hu Wenhai will not feel distressed, so he will be regarded as satisfying his hunger.

"The chef of our project team is still a special chef transferred from the North Sea Fleet Guest House, specifically to ensure nutrition for everyone!"

Hu Wenhai pushed open the door of the cafeteria, and at this time it was already full of people. Not only were there naval technicians who had already arrived in the early stage, but more people were supported by the Ministry of Railways.

Today is the first meeting between the two sides, and the Navy has asked the Ministry of Railways, and the people of the Ministry of Railways are proud to be involved in the research and development of important military equipment. Against this background, the two sides got along happily, and at each table were half of the Navy and half of the Ministry of Railways. The two sides talked and laughed, except that they hadn't moved their chopsticks yet, and the atmosphere was not lost to the wedding banquet.

When Hu Wenhai, Zhang Shaozhong, Pan Jingfu and Fan Xiaohong walked in, the huge cafeteria suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on them, and they watched the four of them walk to the front of the cafeteria.

Of course, people in the Ministry of Railways know Hu Wenhai, not to mention that he once presided over the development of IGCT application technology, and now no one in the Ministry of Railways can not know about this big man. The only individual shareholder of China Railway Construction Investment is the only capitalist in China.

Ten years ago, this would have been unthinkable. Although the 80s were not yet a money-oriented society, quantitative change to qualitative change was universal. Once there is a certain amount of money, no matter how indifferent the money is, people can't help but feel afraid in the face of tens of billions of dollars in assets.

Of course, in the eyes of the Chinese in this era, the name Hu Wenhai is not only fearful, but also full of legend.

His banner now has the meaning of some national spiritual pillars. No matter how our system changes, see? Even if we engage in capitalism, we can still mix well. Any remark that Chinese are inferior to foreigners is "national inferiority", Hu Wenhai's existence is tantamount to a big mouth slapped in the faces of these people.

Of course, even if there is no Hu Wenhai, the names of Ren Zhengfei, Wang Chuanfu, Lu Guanqiu, Guan Tongxian, and Cao Dewang also have such meanings.

It's just that the appearance of Hu Wenhai has made the names of these people more specific, and the flag is more conspicuous. But the meaning is the same, that is, to prove to the world and to the Chinese that we are no worse than others!

"Comrades, welcome everyone from all corners of the motherland to Dagang. Hu Wenhai's eyes swept over everyone's faces: "The comrades of the Ministry of Railways and I are also old acquaintances, and we are all acquaintances who have worked together." Although it is the first time that the comrades of the navy have met, don't worry! Come, drink this glass of wine, we are comrades who are about to fight in a trench!"

Hu Wenhai raised his glass, and the atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly became warm. The forest-like arms in the crowd raised white and beer glasses of various colors and looked at Hu Wenhai quietly.

"I propose this cup to those warriors who are silently giving their lives to defend that we can live in peace, where we cannot see it!"

There was a moment of silence in the cafeteria, and the unique toast began to feel a little overwhelming. But immediately, the researchers present all tasted the true meaning contained in Hu Wenhai's words.

"Respect the people's soldiers. ”

"Respect the people's soldiers!"

Everyone responded with a bang, and they all put away their glass-raising hands. Regardless of the amount of alcohol, everyone drank the wine in their cups in one gulp! The intellectuals, who were usually reserved, rarely showed an impassioned look.

"Let me introduce you, this person next to me is Dr. Fan Xiaohong, the main person in charge of our IPS system development project. Dr. Fan will be in charge of the day-to-day work of the project department in my absence. From today onwards, the IPS Project Department will be formally established! Whether it is our comrades in the military industry or the Ministry of Railways, to borrow what the Monument to the Unknown Soldier on Moscow's Red Square said. Your name may not be known, but one day your exploits will be noticed by the world!"

As Hu Wenhai's words fell, thunderous applause suddenly rang out in the cafeteria. Especially those researchers in the military industrial system puffed up their chests and were honored by Hu Wenhai's words.

In this age when it is not too materialistic, respect and honor are the reasons why these military workers pay silently due to the poor material conditions.

Hu Wenhai pressed his hand, waited for the applause to stop, and said solemnly: "I will say one last word, based on the most basic fact. I am afraid that I am the richest individual in China at present. Anyone in the project department who has difficulties in life can come to me, I may not be able to spend too much time in the project team to solve everyone's research problems, but if I can solve the problem with money, it is not a problem for me. So, don't be polite with me. Remember, if there are any difficulties in your life that may affect your work status, and can be solved with money, you must come to me, and I will solve them for you!

Hu Wenhai's unique speech made everyone present stunned for a moment. As far as military workers are concerned, "being able to endure hardships, dedication, and patience" seems to have always been the basic requirement of their superiors. What difficulties do you have to overcome by yourself, what achievements do you have and spiritual motivation is preferred, and the problems in life have no money and no place, so you can only emphasize dedication. The army itself is patient, so how can the military workers be embarrassed to scrape oil from the people's soldiers? Therefore, military products are fields with particularly high quality requirements and very low economic returns.

The real military-industrial system is doing better, but it will have to wait until after 2000. Before that, the military industrial system was really boiled out. Changhong, who makes radar, changed his career to sell TVs, and China's earliest military enterprise, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, went to sell motorcycles. Of course, it turns out that cattle people are cattle people everywhere. Military factories with better efficiency after the conversion of production abound.

But no matter how much money is made, the military factories have never said it, so they simply don't make military products that don't make much money. On the contrary, there are numerous examples of the development of military technology at a discount.

Therefore, for the military workers of this era, it is the norm to go up when there are no difficulties and to overcome difficulties.

I happened to hear Hu Wenhai's "wealthy" statement, but I didn't react for a while.

And when everyone came to their senses, they immediately burst into more enthusiastic applause than before.

Not only were the staff below ecstatic, but even Pan Jingfu and Fan Xiaohong looked at Hu Wenhai with some surprise, as if they had some new understanding of him.

"Okay, now I would like to ask Dr. Fan to give you a few words, everyone is welcome!"

In the midst of applause, Fan Xiaohong stood in front generously, looked at everyone and smiled: "I have nothing to say, I'm afraid that whatever I say can't compare to Mr. Hu's previous promise." When I returned to China from the United States last year after completing my PhD, I was determined to endure hardships. As long as there are projects to do, we can catch up on the time that has fallen behind in the previous decades. But fortunately, we have such good conditions provided by Mr. Hu, comrades, do you have any reason not to work hard?"

"Nope!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound almost knocked the roof of the cafeteria over.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, you see that we are serious. Fan Xiaohong turned her head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you, a big capitalist." ”

"No problem, Dr. Fan can ask for anything. Hu Wenhai said embarrassedly: "How do I feel that I am going to give me a proletarian **** posture......"

"Hahahaha-"

"When my comrades and I save up the difficulties, let's let go of our President Hu today. Fan Xiaohong pursed her lips and smiled.

There was a cheerful laughter in the cafeteria, and such a no-nonsense leader was really unusual for these researchers in the military industry and the railway system.

"Chief Engineer Pan will say a few more words?" Hu Wenhai turned his head to look at Pan Jingfu and asked in a low voice.

"I don't have much time to show my face here, so I won't talk about it. Pan Jingfu smiled and shook her head, not intending to steal the limelight from the two of them.

Hu Wenhai nodded, then waved his hand and gave an order: "Eat!"

The cafeteria suddenly heard the sound of cups and plates clattering.

Hu Wenhai took the lead in finding an empty table and sat down, and filled the three of them with wine with his own hands.

Taking the wine glass, Pan Jingfu hesitated, casually put the wine glass on the table, and covered the rim with her hand. This action made Hu Wenhai and Fan Xiaohong and Zhang Shaozhong next to him stunned.

"I have a saying, if you don't say it, I'm afraid you won't have the face to drink Mr. Hu's wine. Pan Jingfu looked solemn and looked at Hu Wenhai's eyes.

In these eyes, Hu Wenhai saw incomparable persistence and firmness. Obviously, Pan Jingfu opened this mouth only after facing all the results.

Hu Wenhai was a little confused, so he had to nod and say, "Chief Master Pan, what problems do you need me to solve?"

"This matter is indeed something that only Mr. Hu can solve. Pan Jingfu said: "I heard that Mr. Hu agreed to invest in the 052 verification ship project, on the condition that the construction of the verification ship will be completed by 1988, right?"

"Yes. Hu Wenhai replied.

Pan Jingfu said: "So the problem is here, I am against completing the construction of the verification ship before 1988. ”

"Why?" Hu Wenhai asked subconsciously.

"Because it's an impossible task!" Pan Jingfu said firmly.

"Since it is a verification ship, it must need continuous improvement, testing, and research and development. If I insist on completing this project in less than two years, I can't imagine how much of a hidden danger this ship will have. This is not something that can be solved by relaxing the design margin, and the verification ship is going to sea for sea trials. Take a hastily launched test ship and put it at sea, and anything can happen in the sea. ”

Hu Wenhai was shocked, all he thought about before was to make this verification ship stand out in the 88 naval battle, at least to brush a few heads of Annan monkeys to advertise the comprehensive all-electric district defense ship. But he never thought about what would happen if there was a design problem with this ship, which led to a major hidden danger? If he was not careful, he almost made the mistake of the Showa staff officers.

Pan Jingfu is an expert in ship system design, and since he is not sure that he can complete this goal in such a short time, it means that the time he gave must not be in line with scientific laws.

"I see!"

Hu Wenhai nodded heavily: "Then cancel this time requirement, as long as the verification ship can ensure the completion of the quality, I have no opinion on how long it takes." ”

Pan Jingfu looked at Hu Wenhai with some surprise, but he took a lot of risk before deciding that he had to ask Hu Wenhai this question. The navy, for the sake of this investment of 100 million US dollars and 100 million yuan, is already a deadline for the completion of the task. And Hu Wenhai said from the beginning that he had to complete the verification ship before 1988 before he agreed to win this investment.

It is conceivable how much risk Pan Jingfu took to make this request in this situation.

But he didn't expect that Hu Wenhai, who had previously insisted on this point in time in 1988, would change his requirements because of his words, and he hadn't even said the specific reason why he did it.

This trust and bearing is really amazing.

Pan Jingfu's hand was taken away from the mouth of the cup, and she picked up the wine glass instead, and said with some emotion: "Come, I will toast Mr. Hu with a glass, and I should make amends." ”

"What Chief Master Pan said, I should give you a toast. It's almost because of me, I'm going to risk the lives of a future shipload of naval officers and sailors. Don't say anything, and I'll ask Secretary Chi to withdraw this condition when I go back. Rest assured, in terms of investment, not a penny will be missing. ”

Hu Wenhai picked up the wine glass with both hands and took the initiative to touch the wine glass in Pan Jingfu's hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both happy to be able to foresee someone like the other.

It's just that Hu Wenhai still seems to be a little worried, and it seems that the verification ship of the 88 naval battle really can't catch up, so he has to think of some other way. It's too late to redesign, can you find one from the active battleship to change it?

It seems that I have to ask Pan Jingfu for advice on this matter. But wouldn't it be too obvious that I was so obsessed with making a big news before 1988?

Hu Wenhai touched his chin and hesitated slightly. (To be continued.) )
