Chapter 43: A Stone of a Model Project
"Brother Gu, listening to your analysis just now, do you really plan to set up an electronics factory to produce Standicon in the future?
Is there a market for this stuff in Asia? And it's impossible for the navy's factories to supply you with precision parts, right? I know you know researcher Zhang of the Naval Equipment Planning Institute, but that friendship is not so useful. ”
Ma Feng pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come back to the taste, and as a result, he understood the skewers.
"Who said I'm going to ask the Navy *** factory to buy Standicon? Gu Biao was also amused by Ma Feng's misunderstanding,
"Of course, I don't rule out that when the time is ripe in the future, when this can really make money, I will do it. But now is clearly not the time – I just thought of another possibility from the discussion just now: Could it be that the Americans' current top civilian technology has surpassed the military technology that China has been closed to the country for many years?
Do you think that if you really buy a Hollywood top-of-the-line Stelldicam with a cost of more than 100,000 dollars, take it apart and reverse it, what if the gyroscope accuracy inside is higher than that of the gyroscope on the YJ-4 anti-ship missile, and the response speed is still faster? ”
Gu Biao said and spoke, and he didn't want to show off, and the last half of the sentence was already lowering the volume.
More than three months ago, when he was in Iraq, Gu Biao talked to Zhang Zhong about selling a new generation of domestically produced anti-ship missiles to Iraq, and took advantage of this expectation of orders to urge China to increase investment in the research and development of the "Eagle Strike-5".
Gu Biao's inner calculation is, of course, to catch up with the shipment to Argentina before the Falklands War, to add blockage to the British dog, so as to win more bargaining chips for the country in the coming year.
Although Zhang Zhong is now nominally transferred to the China State Construction Company in Iraq, Gu Biao knows that he is still an unsung hero on the secret front for the country, and this matter should be promoted.
However, today's discussion made Gu Biao see an opportunity to make some small contributions to the country and promote the research and development speed of the "Eagle Strike-5".
In the United States, California is at the forefront of the transfer of military technology to civilian use.
In fact, since the mid-60s, the rapid rise of Silicon Valley is related to the civilian sinking of a large number of military aerospace electronic control technologies after NASA's "Apollo" moon landing program.
Moore's Law was proposed in 1965, the implementation of the "Apollo" program was 61 years, and Armstrong's landing on the moon was 69 years. The entanglement of these points in the time dimension can be seen.
In addition to Silicon Valley, Hollywood in Southern California also reflected it, one south and one north, which could be called the twin walls of the application scenarios of conversion technology at that time. In order to recoup their roots, many technologies that have been blindly launched in the arms race are often gradually lifted after they lag slightly behind the new generation of Soviet products, and make some money back in the civilian field.
In other words, as long as something lags behind the Soviet Union, it is more likely to be converted to civilian use. This kind of thing that the Soviets worked hard to get away with was not necessarily of research value, but it was a different situation for China at that time.
To tell the truth, China's military science and technology must have lagged behind the Soviet Union at that time, so the difference between "the United States' civilian technology has lagged behind the Soviet military, but it is still ahead of China's military use" has great potential to be explored.
If you can buy one and study it directly, wouldn't it be faster than continuing to work hard behind closed doors?
Before the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in January this year and the exchange of ambassadors, Batumi's control over China was relatively strict, and the embargo on technical materials to China at that time was more than 500 more than the embargo on the Soviet Union -- more than 900 for the Soviet Union and more than 1,400 for China.
(Batumi: Paris - Coordinating Committee, a NATO technical blockade organization of the Warsaw Pact)
The reason why this was decided in the first place was because the Americans were very clear-headed: China's technology was much more backward than that of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the first 900 technologies should be embargoed against the Soviet Union and China, because they can't be done.
Then the next 500 technologies are "the Soviets can come up with it, and it makes no sense for us to ban it, but we make less money; but the Chinese can't figure it out, so we only ban China and can't help the Soviets."
Now, because of the improvement of US relations with China, Batumi no longer has to do the work of maintaining the 500-item list of the difference between "only prohibiting China and not prohibiting the Soviet Union," but it has not been officially canceled for a while.
The embargo on China's "green zone technology" will not be formally lifted until '82, and in '85, the "power to approve or not to impose an embargo" will be completely delegated to each member state, rather than being controlled by the United States.
Domestically, the Foreign Affairs Bureaus of various ministries of industry were also the first to feel the change in wind direction. Therefore, in addition to earning foreign exchange, the main work of each foreign affairs bureau also has a very important task, which is to retrieve what was once embargoed to us, but can now be lifted in a gray state.
Once the statistics come out, then find a way to get it back and fill the gap in domestic scientific research.
It's a pity that because the management of foreign affairs work is still busy, and the first year of opening the country, everyone has no experience in overall planning, so the specific work method is still stuck in the work process of "deploying state-owned enterprises to solve technical problems that cannot be solved, taking the initiative to report to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and then the Foreign Affairs Bureau begins to secretly visit overseas to introduce possibilities".
This is equivalent to those high-tech companies in later generations, what needs the marketing department has, but it cannot be quickly conveyed to the R&D department. What problems do the R&D department need outsourcing resources, and the supply chain management department does not take the initiative to understand and communicate.
Gu Biao has been an intern in the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the First Aircraft Department for more than half a year. In his daily work, he has also dealt with one or two such needs, and as for the director of the Bao Bao and other leaders and seniors, there are even more.
Based on the kind of work model of "rapid response to market and outsourcing needs" that he observed in Ahri in his later life, Gu Biao knew that the current efficiency of the Foreign Affairs Bureau must be very low. However, others are soft-spoken, and they are unlikely to be qualified to put forward any advice on "system building."
This kind of retreat is something that only big leaders are qualified to do.
But today's conversation made him find an opportunity: maybe he could first make a model case and find out a stone, and then let the leaders find out, and the leaders would summarize and qualitatively form methods, and then promote them to the foreign affairs bureaus of the whole department and even brother units......
Therefore, the Sardicon itself is not the key, nor is the precision gyroscope used for the guidance of anti-ship missiles.
Even "accelerating the development process of the YJ-5 anti-ship missile" is not the greatest credit.
The key is to sum up a set of working methods and processes to "quickly fill the gap between our plagiaristic technology and the Soviet Union".
The credit for this is great, and it is another model model.
"I heard that the most expensive Stapicon in Hollywood is only a hundred thousand dollars...... But what if I operate it, use the shell of a Hong Kong-funded film copyright agency, and borrow another layer of skin, pretending to be Mr. Shao Yifu's agent?
Going to Hollywood to negotiate with the top film industry technology companies and asking for a custom set of 'higher precision than the highest accuracy in Hollywood' will touch the highest standards of U.S. military-to-civilian technology?
Heung Kong currently belongs to the 'free world', and the current booming film industry in Hong Kong is becoming popular all over Southeast Asia and the world. Lobbyists disguised as wireless, seeking local film technology to overtake Hollywood and create propaganda stunts should not attract the attention of the CIA......"
Gu Biao thought about it, and felt more and more that this matter was promising.
This is all evidenced by history, because just last year, Mr. Shao, a bigwig in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang, really spent more than 2 million US dollars to buy a set of studio equipment from Hollywood, which is said to be the first in Asia.
It is difficult for the film industry to break through at the level of directors and actors. But it's easy to overtake Hollywood on hardware devices and create some gimmicks to sensationalize, and it's also a common propaganda trick.
As for the things after they get them back, Gu Biao will find an excuse to lend them to the Chinese opera, then the other party can't care about it, and it is estimated that he will not pay attention. Finally, if you secretly enter the Naval Equipment Research Institute, the Americans will not know -
Besides, wasn't the LN in later generations bought back by a gambling merchant in Ao County in the name of "rebuilding a gambling house" at the beginning, and finally became an aircraft carrier.
If the final localization is really awesome, and the gyroscope with sufficient accuracy can be exchanged for the field of civilian components, and Gu Wei's electronics industry layout is also in place by then, then he has no objection to letting his own electronics factory localize a Stelldiccan - it's just that it's already an incidental addition to make some pocket money.
"However, this is not a good requirement for me to come up with...... After all, I am from the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Machinery, and my hand reaches out to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry to ask for needs, which is a bit too wide.
That's it, after going back, I called Zhang Zhong and asked him to send a request back from Iraq, and reminded his colleagues in the bureau that it was good to come to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the First Ministry of Aircraft to borrow Hong Kong capital. In this way, this job still fell into my hands in the end, and the excuse of wanting to go abroad this semester can be cleared up. ”
If this matter is really approved and ready to be implemented, then the school and the bureau will definitely not restrict Gu Wei's whereabouts anymore, it is estimated that if he wants to go to the United States to Xiangjiang, he can sign it casually. Asking for leave is also an allow.
Even if it's just to take a leave of absence in this era of rigorous academics, Gu Biao should be enthusiastic about this matter.
Thinking about this, the whole plan is completely integrated.
I didn't expect to follow Ma Feng and Zhang Yimou to hold a half-day sports competition, and he could gain so much inspiration, which is really his blessing.
……
"Hey, Brother Gu, what's wrong with you. Just sitting there stupidly stunned, what kind of conspiracy did you think of?"
In the gymnastics hall, most of the spectators in the stands are gone, and the whole thing is empty. And Gu Biao was still sitting there in the shape of Rodin's "thinker" sculpture, so Ma Feng had to remind him.
"Ah, nothing, what's the conspiracy, you don't understand!" The matter was confidential, and Gu Biao didn't want to tell Ma Feng for the time being. It's not mistrust, it's work discipline.
"It's over!
"It's all over?so soon?" Gu Biao was taken aback and noticed the environment.
Every time he gets into a state of flow, he forgets the passage of time.
"Let's go, then?" Zhang Yimou inquired.
