Chapter 291: Secret Weapon

The next morning, Brigade Commander Xue organized and arranged a brief small welcome meeting. There were not many participants, except for the ten people on Mo Fan's side, only more than twenty people from the garrison side participated. After the welcome meeting, it was the official technical disclosure meeting. This time, only Mo Fan and Xu Zicheng and other technical personnel participated, and in addition to Brigade Commander Xue, the military also left only technical specialists.

And Mo Fan only participated in the first thirty minutes, and then withdrew.

As early as when Lin Ruoxi proposed the handling of this R&D project, he knew that if the military really bought it, it would definitely be used in a relatively secret place in the future. After the technology transfer is done, it is a technical secret of the military, and the less involved he, an outsider, is, the better. The development of the first-generation prototype will promote the transfer of technology, and also let the subsequent research and development of related technologies only in the hands of the military itself. As for how people want to develop and which direction of development they take, he doesn't want to know at all, let alone want to know.

Neighbor Ji Xiaoying is probably just a member of the volunteer national security, and she almost found out about it. If he really cares about every move of this project with curiosity, it is difficult to say that there will be real national security or more mysterious departments to pay attention to him, and he does not want to make trouble for himself.

Coming out of the venue, there was nothing to do, and it was not easy to wander around in the courtyard of other people's troops, so Mo Fan called Zhong Mintao, as well as Xiao Sun and Xiao Ji, to go around the town outside.

When they came here the day before, it was already dark, and a few people wandered the streets of the town, only to find that it was much cleaner and cleaner than the two towns they had passed before. There are also shops, schools, and hospitals in the town, all of which have the words "So-and-so Army" hanging in front of them.

Mo Fan guessed that this town was derived from this garrison. Just like some large state-owned enterprises in the last century, a factory is a town, and those large factories with tens of thousands of employees have the scale of a small town. The people who work in this town are either members of the army or family members of the army, and basically it can be said that there are no outsiders.

The town is not big, and before noon a few people went around and bought bits and pieces, mostly snacks, because there were really not many to buy. The end of this circle confirmed Mo Fan's guess, because he hadn't seen any government offices or anything like that.

…………

After lunch that day, Brigade Commander Xue invited Mo Fan and Xu Zicheng to his office, saying that the technical disclosure meeting was going smoothly, and the military technicians had basically digested the data on paper, and then they would start the actual evaluation. The prototype and the equipment pulled from Puhai are also in place, and the evaluation work is ready to move forward.

And the reason why the two of them were invited here first is because the next stage of work is not going here.

After explaining the matter, Brigade Commander Xue took out two confidentiality agreements and put them in front of Mo Fan and Xu Zicheng. The content is not complicated, it is simply what they will see and hear next, and they must not disclose it to anyone.

Mo Fan looked at the agreement in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, it was still related to military secrets. Xu Zicheng is only the technical leader, and he is the project executive leader on behalf of Haitian Electronics and Haitian Science and Trade, and there are always some things that he has to sign.

Brigade Commander Xue smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just that the discipline requires this, and we can only do this." We apologize for any inconvenience caused. ”

Mo Fan said: "It is our honor and obligation to be able to serve our country. ”

Brigade Commander Xue gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Mo is right! When dinner is in the evening, I will toast you well." ”

Mo Fan said: "Brigade Commander Xue is polite, you are an elder, I should respect you." ”

After the beautiful words are said, the agreement should be signed or signed. Xu Zicheng didn't say anything superfluous, but he looked a little excited when he signed the agreement.

After leaving Brigade Commander Xue's office, Mo Fan had to explain to his colleagues. At the moment, their work is almost done, but they can't be allowed to leave first. If something goes wrong in the evaluation work, I am afraid that these technicians who have been involved in the development of the project from the beginning will need to deal with it.

It's a pity that the weather is still relatively cold at this time, especially sometimes the wind is very strong, and there is nothing to play around, so Mo Fan arranged a new job for them.

Several of the trade projects to be discussed with the military this time are new models that have just been developed and have not yet been put on the market, but they already have the conditions for production. It happened that the military was interested in equipment with a higher technical content, so Mo Fan included it in the sales plan.

At present, these technicians are just free and can work with Zhong Mintao to make a presentation on the new product. Although they were not involved in the development of those products, I believe it was not much of a problem for them. It's too boring to be idle in a place like this, and it's always good to pass the time with something to do. It is estimated that the negotiation of supplier qualifications on Lin Ruoxi's side will have a definite result tomorrow, and it will be useful at that time.

…………

After the lunch break, Mo Fan and Xu Zicheng, under the leadership of Fang Ziyu, boarded an off-road vehicle and drove out of town. After driving for about 20 minutes, I entered a security checkpoint located at the col. Before that, the two were probably authorized, and after verifying the identities of the two, the guards asked them to hand over their mobile phones, keys and other miscellaneous items they carried with them, put them in the safe, and issued them each a badge for them to wear.

After that, the car continued to move on, and the place where it passed was already the authentic Gobi, with withered yellow weeds scattered here and there, and only a few black shrubs on the low mountains. After another forty minutes, I went through two security checks and finally stopped in front of a cave.

In the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest of the motherland, there are many places with a high degree of secrecy, and many of the achievements that have attracted the attention of the world have been achieved in such places. Some of them have already been revealed, such as the famous satellite launch center, which has been partially opened to the outside world. But there are some that are still under wraps.

Along the way, Mo Fan couldn't help but guess where he was going, and what was hidden in the cave in front of him, whether it was a legendary missile that could shoot down enemy satellites, or a mysterious air force. Then, no matter how many conjectures he had, after passing through a few doors, the first thing he saw when he entered the interior really stunned him.

In front of me is a platform with a subway parked next to the platform.

That's right, it's the subway, which is almost indistinguishable from the one in Puhai. If anything, it's just that there are more seats in the carriage, like train seats, in the direction of the train.

This subway has four carriages, and after Fang Ziyu, Mo Fan, and Xu Zicheng went in and sat down, the train started. As soon as I left the platform, it was dark. Since there is no reference outside, it is impossible to estimate how fast the car will go. After about half an hour, the outside of the car suddenly lit up. Soon after, the car stopped at the station, and when they got off the train, Mo Fan and Xu Zicheng couldn't help but take a closer look at the place they were in.

It should be located in the middle of a mountain or underground, and the whole space is like an inverted bowl, at least a few hundred meters in circumference. The top is about 30 meters above the ground, and it doesn't feel oppressive. Many lanterns are hung above, illuminating the bottom as if it were daylight, and various buildings of various sizes are arranged in a staggered manner. In a trance, people have the feeling of entering a mysterious base in a science fiction movie.

Fang Ziyu took the two to board a four-wheeled electric car waiting at the platform, drove to a two-story building and stopped. Inside, they met the military technicians at the technical briefing meeting in the morning. They took Xu Zicheng to see the laboratory prepared for the project, and the next step was to install and calibrate the equipment and instruments.

The equipment that was shipped from Puhai probably arrived no later than Mo Fan and the others. The military uses its own channels, and the efficiency will naturally not be bad. After more than an hour of debugging, all the equipment was ready to operate normally, and after the final signature of the equipment reception was completed, Mo Fan's work came to an end.

Considering that it takes a lot of time to travel back and forth from the army compound to here, the military technicians hope that Xu Zicheng can live in this base so that he can preside over the work later. Xu Zicheng himself had no opinion, so Mo Fan and Fang Ziyu returned first.

On the way back, Mo Fan couldn't help but think that coming out this time could be regarded as an eye-opener. He didn't care what kind of research and development that base was mainly used for. Just seeing it, even if it's worth the trip.

…………

At ten o'clock in the morning of the third day, Mo Fan got the news that Haitian Science and Trade (Haitian Electronics) had obtained the supplier qualification, so he immediately started the trade procurement negotiation with Brigade Commander Xue. This matter is not complicated, the procurement model adopted by the two sides is not the kind of bidding, but the average market price of similar products at the time of procurement as a reference, and the technical elements as a correction to determine a price. The variety and quantity of procurement are determined by the military at its own discretion, and there is no such thing as installation and transportation. This is probably due to the need for confidential work, but it is a very ideal business for Haitian Science and Trade.

After the cooperation of the transfer of the HT-V project, the military still recognizes the strength of Haitian Electronics in terms of technology. Therefore, the negotiation was very smooth, after listening to the product introduction of Haitian, Brigade Commander Xue said that he would place an order with Haitian Science and Trade in accordance with the cooperation process that had been determined. The amount of the initial purchase is about three million, which is not large. But as long as the equipment can meet the requirements, there will be a steady stream of orders.

In a short period of time, Haitian Science and Trade has not been able to win too many orders for government projects, and with the military as a major customer, it can make up for this shortcoming. Lin Ruoxi's promotion of this matter is really great good news for the completion of this year's sales task.

After the procurement matters were discussed, there was still a little time before lunch. Brigade Commander Xue invited Mo Fan to his office again, saying that everything went smoothly in the evaluation work, and it was expected that all the work would be completed by tomorrow.

Mo Fan was also very relieved when he heard it. That way, you can leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, which is already next Monday. Even if the transfer or something is delayed for half a day, you can still arrive in Puhai next Tuesday.

Brigade Commander Xue also said: "Mr. Mo, through more than one day of work, our technical personnel unanimously believe that Dr. Xu Zicheng has pioneering and forward-looking thinking in this field. If he can stay and lead the follow-up research and development work, it will greatly shorten the time for the project to actually be put into use. ”

Mo Fan was stunned when he heard this, the other party is asking for technology and people, this is completely out of the plan. Then he said: "Brigade Commander Xue, I won't tell you, this is beyond my scope of authority, and it is not something I can decide. In addition to Dr. Xu's own wishes, I also had to report to the company's leaders. ”

Brigade Commander Xue said: "This is as it should be. But if we can, we hope that Dr. Xu can stay a little longer and help us open up the situation first. ”
