November 9, Long Beach Pier, Los Angeles.

Countless do-wellers, the media, and mere spectators gathered on the docks, waiting eagerly at the giant planes parked in the bay.

Many more were in front of the radio, listening to the reporters on the plane.

Today is the day of the test flight of the H-4 Hercules, the world's largest seaplane designed and built by Hughes Aircraft Company.

Evan is also part of the spectators.

Looking at the huge plane with eight engines and a metallic glow all over the sea, Evan couldn't help but admire: "Howard is such a cow!"

"I guess Howard is the only one in the world that can build this plane......"

Carl, who accompanied him to watch the excitement, couldn't help but say: "This also has to be under the industrial system of the United States." ”

"Of course," Evan said. ”

"In today's world, only the United States has this industrial base and scientific research talents. Without them, Howard's vision would not have been realized. ”

A gust of sea breeze blew, and Evan subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, the plane is moving!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"It looks like the test flight is about to start," Carr said......

"Evan, do you think it will make it to the skies?"

Evan stared intently at the "Spruce Goose" on the sea, and replied categorically: "Do you need to say the answer!"

"Howard is not a fool, not only himself on the plane, but also the journalists, is in the spotlight, and he won't take any risks if he is not completely sure. ”

"If the plane doesn't go to the sky, the next day, the Hughes Aircraft Company stock will be a pile of waste paper, and he will be trampled under the feet of all parties. ”

Karl nodded in agreement.

The blades of the aircraft rotated faster and faster, and the fuselage moved faster and faster, leaving a white wave on the surface of the sea.

Not long after, under the attention of thousands of people on the beach and countless listeners in front of the radio, the huge fuselage of the "Spruce Goose" left the water and soared into the sky.

The people who witnessed all this at the pier couldn't help but cheer.

The applause lasted for more than a minute, and Evan's palms turned red.

After the excitement subsided, Evan patted Carl, who was infected by the emotions of the scene, and said, "Let's go." ”

With that, Evan left his line of sight, squeezed into the crowd, and walked out.

Karl hurriedly followed, and did not forget to ask, "Aren't you finished?" The plane hasn't landed safely yet......

Evan said, "No, it's enough to read the beginning......"

"As for the ending, I already know it. ”

That night, Evan and Audrey attended a celebratory dinner hosted by Howard.

At the end of the dinner, Evan's mood was a little low.

The quick-witted Audrey naturally discovered Evan's abnormality, and on the way back to the residence, she asked with concern, "Evan, what's wrong?"

Evan looked at Audrey, smiled a little reluctantly, reached out to hold her plain white hand, and comforted: "It's okay, it's just that I feel something......"

Audrey asked, "Because of what?"

After a moment of silence, Evan said, "Howard's illness seems to be getting worse......"

Audrey understood, she didn't care where Evan got this conclusion, she only knew that Howard was a person that Evan admired very much, and comforted: "Evan, God will bless him." ”

Evan nodded on the surface, but had another thought in his heart.

As long as Howard Hughes can't overcome himself, the end is doomed.

……

Nov. 14, Inglewood, Applied Physical Systems, Inc., R&D.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the R&D department was brightly lit, led by Wells, and the members of the entire department were still working overtime.

Applied physical systems companies are not sweatshops and need to squeeze employees like crazy. The reason why I didn't get off work at this point today is only because Evan is here today.

Evan is here today to review the design of the first version of the TV project, and to see the progress of other projects. When he arrived at the company at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing the "answer sheet" handed in by the R&D department, he was furious and approved the project team from top to bottom.

"Do you know how I'm feeling right now?"

"I think it stinks when you see a lump of stuff that you made the first thing you wanted to give to the toilet in the morning all night. ”

"What are the two requirements I make? One is cheap, and the other is quality. ”

"And look, what are you designing? Does it meet my requirements?"

"I'm asking for cheapness, which means lowering the price, and what you've come up with, I can only describe in one word – tattered. ”

"Well, it seems that some people are not convinced! Okay! Come on, I'll point them out one by one......

"First of all, the shell and the appearance, the shell material is mahogany, this is no problem. The problem is that you can't even open the wrong hole, do you want the picture tube to heat up and explode?"

"And then it's this circuit......"

Evan spent several hours picking out the flaws in the design plan one by one, and criticized the R&D engineers of the TV project team one by one like soldiers who had lost a battle, with their heads bowed

The R&D personnel who these companies spent a lot of money to poach only now realized why it was Evan, a young man with no hair, who came to make a request for them in the first place.

Because he has the strength.

After the blow, Evan spent some time talking to the project team about how to design the product to meet his requirements.

After this dismount, Evan successfully established himself in the R&D department.

Around eight o'clock, Evan finished listening to the report of the microwave oven project team.

Unlike the strictness of the TV project team, Evan's attitude towards the microwave project team is much gentler.

"Mr. Spencer, I don't think there's anything wrong with your design ideas. ”

Percy Spencer, the leader of the microwave oven project team, was really relieved to hear this. Evan's performance just now made him understand that he didn't look very old, but he was undoubtedly an expert in electrical engineering.

"Thank you, Mr. Warren. ”

"No thanks, Mr. Spencer......" said Evan and Yan Yuese, "I should thank you for the speed of the work." ”

"Besides, I should say sorry for letting everyone work overtime to this point today. ”

"It's getting late, let's stop for today. ”

As the big boss, Evan was the first to leave.

After Evan left, the people in the R&D department, especially the members of the TV project team, did not leave in a hurry.

Everyone gathered in the office to exchange ideas from Evan.

Someone exclaimed, "Mr. Warren is really ...... People should not be disgraced, that's the requirement...... It's too harsh......"

Lee Bailey, the head of the TV project team and a job changer from General Electric, said: "How can you ...... harsh?"

"High requirements are the only way to make good products. ”

This job-hopping seems to have come to the right time!
