Chapter 274: Rebuttal and Passage
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll ask Liu Lang some questions first!"
It was indeed Liu Lang who guessed one of the two people who spoke.
"Liu Lang, my name is Bao Wei, and this time as a member of the executive committee of the federation, I will question the project you applied for!"
"Questioning?"
Many members of the executive committee frowned slightly, a stove you question a fart?
However, this is the right of the executive committee, and no one can take away the rights of the other party.
Liu Lang looked at the other party and said slowly: "Mr. Bao Wei, do you have any doubts?"
"First of all, I want to tell you that AOD electric furnace is an industrial goods embargoed by the United States, and it is generally not allowed to be exported, but the federation has its own purpose to introduce AOD electric furnace to your country, but the federation only provides you with the technology and equipment used in the test, and it is not allowed to apply it to industry, now I doubt that you will fully fulfill the requirements of the federation, you must know that your country is a powerful country, Huaxia University has no autonomy at all, if your country asks you for an electric furnace, what will you doοΌβ
The other side was aggressive and asked a sharp question.
"Mr. Powell, when it comes to power, even I, a four-year-old child, think that there is no country in the world that can compare with the United States, which is the largest power country in the world!"
Liu Lang smiled slightly.
His answer immediately caused everyone to laugh, yes, the United States relies on its powerful force to show off its power in the world, no one dares to provoke, even another superpower, the Soviet Union, is trembling, and it is precisely because of the strong strength of the United States that all Americans have a sense of pride, so Liu Lang's words did not arouse everyone's disgust, but secretly "applauded" Liu Lang's "knowledge of current affairs".
"How can science and technology show the ability to promote the world? I think it is not in the laboratory, but in the daily life of ordinary people, the ultimate purpose of our introduction of AOD electric furnace is to master the technology of new materials, and finally apply it to everyone, I do not deny this, but this takes time, but it is not what an electric furnace can do, what can a furnace with only 100 kilowatts do? It can't do anything at all, and it can be applied to industry, even if it is allowed to produce hundreds of tons of steel in a year, and this material can be used in industry? β
Liu Lang said directly.
"Humph......!"
Bao Wei snorted coldly and stopped talking, he thought he could ask the other party, but now it seems that he underestimated Liu Lang.
"Liu Lang, I am Executive Committee member Howard, you also said just now, China wants to master the technology of stainless steel by itself, I am very disgusted by your unearned practice, you must know that stainless steel is the smelting technology that we in the United States spent decades and mastered through continuous research and experiments, and you only need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an electric furnace, and then master the technology, which is an unethical behavior, if this behavior becomes the rule, then what intellectual property rights do we have?"
The other man spoke.
"Mr. Howard, stainless steel technology is only the most superficial smelting technology, as far as I know, the developed countries in the United States and Europe have mastered this technology for decades, and now a large number of automobiles and airplanes have stainless steel materials, will they pay for the intellectual property rights of this material? So what you said is not true.
In addition, to put it mildly, although China is backward, it will not be much difficult to master this smelting technology, and it will take only a year or two to overcome this technology......... Any technology must continue to develop, Einstein is a German, but the theory of relativity he discovered gives you satellites; Newton is an Englishman, the whole world is changed because of Newton's laws, the same is true of technology, once it is invented and created, it will inevitably benefit all mankind in the end, this is the trend of history, no one can stop the expansion of technology, your thinking is still too backward, a real scientist is to look at all mankind, I believe that it is this kind of thinking that will make the Federation have the action of supporting those backward countries, if even a small furnace has to attract so many doubts, it will disappoint meοΌβ
Liu Lang retorted unceremoniously.
"You're .........!"
This time the other party had nothing to say, Liu Lang's words praised the federation, and at the same time there was a hint of sarcasm on him, Howard was indeed not a scientist, just a politician.
"Well, that's a good point! Liu Lang, the purpose of our federation is indeed as you said, so let's do it! Now everyone will raise their hands to vote, and if you agree to this project, please raise your hands!"
Gutierrez was also very dissatisfied with the questioning of those two people, can a big fart project be used so hard? And those two people are not scientists, they only joined the federation by virtue of their political status, for political figures, scientists have always had a deep prejudice, they feel that politics is full of dirt, only scientists are the driving force of human progress, the most noble profession in the world, and Liu Lang's words are obviously very much to their liking.
After Gutierrez finished speaking, all but the two men raised their hands in agreement.
"Okay, nine votes in favor! Raise your hand if you are against!"
Gutierrez said again.
The two looked at each other, and there was no point in their objections, so they abstained in order to make a good impression on the other executive committee members.
"We abstain!"
The two spoke.
"Okay, nine people agreed, two abstained, passed!"
This is the simplest of projects.
At this end of the review meeting, most of the executive committee members immediately stood up, first shook hands with Wan Anding's arms to congratulate the two, and then packed up their things and turned to leave, their time is precious, no one wants to stay here for a while, it is those two guys, the review meeting that can be finished in ten minutes has to grind for more than an hour, and the questions asked are so boring, it is really annoying.
Bao Wei and Howard also felt the dissatisfaction of the other executive committee members and committee members, the two of them did not say a word, picked up their purses and turned to leave, they originally wanted to stop the project, but Liu Lang dissolved it lightly, this child is not only intellectually superior, but also has the same knowledge as adults, I really can't imagine how such a child is cultivated.
"Okay Liu Lang, your task has been completed, and then the federation will send an inspection team to your Huaxia University to investigate, so you can go back and prepare." β
Ding Huaizhong also relieved at the moment, basically this project has been decided.
"Then let's go back to China and wait!"
Liu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's say goodbye, this is my business card, if you come to the United States in the future, you can contact me, if you want to study abroad, then come to me!"
Ding Huaizhong handed a business card to Liu Lang.
"Thank you, Professor Ding, you have helped us a lot this time, and if you return to China in the future, we will welcome you with the warmest ceremony!"
Zhang Xianchu couldn't stop thanking the other party.
"This is what I should do!"
Liu Lang and Zhang Xianchu shook hands with Wan An and those executive committee members to say goodbye.
The most important thing is finally done.
