Chapter 5 Warships
The next day, Jin Lingling arranged an appointment and brought Pang Jindong to Cheng Hechu's house.
When she was on the road, Jin Lingling asked Pang Jindong: "What are you looking for Uncle Cheng?"
"You'll find out when you go!"
Jin Lingling leaned at Pang Jindong and asked coldly, "You won't be there to steal secrets, right?"
Pang Jindong smiled "hehe" and replied, "I'm going to deliver the secret!"
Jin Lingling warned: "You'd better not have any bad intentions!"
Pang Jindong suddenly put away his smile and said, "I want to know more about whether Cheng Hechu is reliable!"
Hearing this question, Jin Lingling was stunned at the time, and only nodded for a long time before replying, "Absolutely reliable!"
"That's good!"
Jin Lingling was even more curious by these words, but since Pang Jindong refused to say, she didn't continue to ask, and simply waited until Cheng Hechu's house to find out.
Cheng Hechu enjoys many honorary titles, such as academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and national expert.
It is conceivable that corresponding to the honor of honor, the material income must also be quite rich, but this is not reflected in the old man's family at all.
The living area of Cheng Hechu's house is relatively large, but the decoration is extremely ordinary, except for the necessities of life, there is no luxury in sight.
However, all kinds of books are full of sweat, as well as some antiques on display, rendering a strong bookish atmosphere.
The old man invited Pang Jindong and Jin Lingling into the living room, looked at the two with a smile, but did not take the initiative to speak.
Pang Jindong was afraid of a repeat of yesterday's scene, so he took the initiative to say: "Uncle Cheng, I heard Lingling say that you are the best naval expert in my country, so there are some things I want to ask you for!"
Compared with what Pang Jindong wanted to ask for, Cheng Hechu was more concerned about the title he was given, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I definitely don't dare to be the best, it's just the most famous." Really good experts are working in obscurity and don't bother to show their heads. β
"Uncle Cheng's high style is bright, it is worth learning from our juniors!" Pang Jindong said and took out his notebook, and then put it into the center's data CD: "I have a design drawing of a warship, please Uncle Cheng for guidance!"
"Okay!" Cheng Hechu nodded, picked up the notebook and looked at it seriously.
The number of military enthusiasts in China is probably greater than that of any country, and the level of the elites among them, even compared to the military enthusiasts of country M, is not much more than that, and what they lack is only the opportunity and ability to put their ideas into practice.
With the help of today's advanced information technology, a large amount of publicly available information, and personal talents, they often make some insightful analysis and design, and the level is not even lower than that of some so-called experts.
There are often military fans who know Cheng Hechu, holding the drawings they have designed to ask for advice or communicate.
On the premise of not designing leaks, Cheng Hechu is also willing to give them some guidance.
Although most of the designs are naΓ―ve, fatal flaws, or ill-conceived, there are a few that are commendable or even useful, but they cannot be effectively adopted for various reasons.
For this situation, Cheng Hechu was both disappointed and regretful, and he was unwilling to dampen the enthusiasm of these people, but he never turned him away.
At the beginning, Cheng Hechu regarded Pang Jindong as this kind of person, but when he looked at the design blueprint carefully, his smile froze on his face.
Later, he put on an extremely focused look, frowned deeply, and found reading glasses to put on.
Jin Lingling noticed the change in Cheng Hechu's expression and cast a questioning glance at Pang Jindong, but Pang Jindong just blinked mischievously.
After a long time, Cheng Hechu put down the notebook, took a deep breath, and asked Pang Jindong: "Is this the DDX of country M?"
Pang Jindong smiled slightly: "Uncle Cheng really has good eyesight!"
Cheng Hechu looked at Pang Jindong, and his voice became a little trembling: "You...... Where did you get that?...... You...... Are you a spy?"
When Jin Lingling heard this, she immediately took the notebook and looked at it.
As a quasi-military fan, she also recognized that although the M type is still in the design stage, it already has a famous warship.
The detailed structure and numbers on it obviously cannot be public information on the Internet, and it is definitely not something that Pang Jindong can make by himself.
"You...... Where did you come from?" Jin Lingling felt similar to Cheng Hechu, and almost asked Pang Jindong if he had changed careers to become a spy.
Pang Jindong looked at the two people and replied, "You can rest assured, although this drawing is not legal, it is not illegal!"
Cheng Hechu withdrew the disc from the notebook, looked at the surface of the CD, and sure enough, he found a code composed of numbers and letters on it, which was obviously the number of the information. He pointed to this string of codes and told Pang Jindong: "This is the original information, not a copy!"
"Of course it's the original, I don't want a copy yet!" Pang Jindong admitted very calmly, but in his heart he was amazed at Cheng He's thoughtful beginning.
"Is it ......" In Cheng Hechu's opinion, Pang Jindong's words had a bit of a scoundrel color, which greatly reduced his previous good impression of Pang Jindong. This is like a flower thief, who doesn't care and says to others: "I only pick yellow flower daughters, and I don't want married daughters-in-law!"
But on the other hand, Cheng Hechu suddenly thought that Pang Jindong's approach was not wrong, and he might even help himself.
"Uncle Cheng, I have a few words, I don't know if I can be blunt!" Pang Jindong pondered the contradiction in Cheng Hechu's heart, on the one hand, he admired Cheng Hechu's upright personality, but on the other hand, he was also a little disdainful.
Cheng Hechu bowed slightly: "But it's okay to say it!"
"Even if I stole this information, it would be a good thing for us to lose country M, one of our country's biggest opponents. And this information, if not for our country, will be used for our nation, to help us go a longer road in a shorter time. After a moment of silence, Pang Jindong continued: "There may be people who disdain this kind of behavior, but I don't think of this disdain. β
Cheng Hechu looked at Pang Jindong in a deep and asked slowly, "How do you say it?"
"Because the interests of the state and the nation are selfish, in many cases they still need to be exclusive and exclusive, and not everything can be cooperated or shared. Both the government and the people should safeguard the interests of their own country and nation and use unscrupulous means to achieve this. The international Lei Feng who is not self-interested and exclusively benefits others, or always wants to share his cake with others, usually does not have any good fruit to eat, and the final result is just a big fool of the country!"
Hearing the last noun Pang Jindong used, Jin Lingling laughed out loud.
In front of a person like Cheng Hechu, using such vulgar words is really a bit abrupt and funny.
But Cheng Hechu didn't feel like Xiucai meeting soldiers, let alone Jin Lingling. He got up and paced back and forth in the room, and after a long time exclaimed, "Makes sense! We shouldn't wait for others to share our cake, but we should take the initiative to share other people's cakes!"
"Yes!"
Cheng Hechu sighed: "What I'm worried about is that if you get the top-secret information of the government of country M, it will pose a threat to your personal safety!"
"Absolutely not, Uncle Cheng can rest assured of this!"
"Don't say you didn't steal it!" Cheng Hechu shook his head suspiciously and asked, "Could it be that someone else gave it to you?"
Pang Jindong smiled indifferently: "It's really given to me by someone else!"
These words not only made Cheng Hechu puzzled, but Jin Lingling was also confused when she heard it beside her, urging Pang Jindong to say: "What the hell is going on, don't beat around the corner, say it quickly!"
Pang Jindong finally solved the mystery, but what he said was very simple: "I once worked in a foreign research institute for a period of time, which was responsible for selecting all kinds of elite talents for the government of country M, and at the same time conducting high-end research in many fields. Its work is highly secret, and its work is carried out in the name of other institutions or enterprises, and very few people even within the government of country M know about its existence. It kept a copy of every research it undertook - including the DDX battleship - which was also highly classified and unknown even to the Government of Country M...... This agency was disbanded not long ago, and a high-ranking person took the materials and gave them to me later!"
These words were not only to comfort Cheng Hechu, but also Pang Jindong based on his understanding of the center.
The purpose of the center's preservation of these materials is naturally to accumulate experience and technology for more in-depth research in the future, not to mention the government of country M, and even the internal personnel of the center, very few people know about the storage of these materials, and even fewer people know the details.
However, each copy of confidential information is given a separate number, and the total number of copies of the same is indicated, and the whereabouts and place of storage of each copy are recorded.
All of this information is unique and uses an independent numbering system, independent of the various departments of Government M, and is not in the records of the Government of M.
Of course, there is no absolute certainty, that is, it cannot be ruled out that the Government of State M has been or will be aware of the existence of such information and will try to recover it.
However, nothing has happened yet, and Pang Jindong will not worry about it for the time being.
Although Cheng Hechu believed these explanations of Pang Jindong, he still had doubts: "So is the person who gave you this information reliable?"
"Reliable! Because she is currently working under me, and she is not a technical talent, so she doesn't know anything about this information!" Speaking of this, Pang Jindong muttered in a low voice: "At least for the time being!"
Jin Lingling stared at Pang Jindong and asked word by word: "Why have I never heard you mention it, you still have such an experience?"
"Don't you know now!" Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and asked Cheng Hechu instead: "Does Uncle Cheng think these materials are valuable?"
"Valuable, so valuable!" Cheng Hechu rubbed his hands, looking very excited. But in an instant, his expression became gloomy, and he asked Pang Jindong: "Do you plan to contribute these materials to the country?"
"If possible......" Pang Jindong stopped when he said this, and did not give a clear answer, but observed Cheng Hechu's reaction.
Cheng Hechu didn't notice that Pang Jindong was vague, but subjectively came to a positive conclusion, but this is exactly what he was worried about: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed......"
Pang Jindong asked strangely: "Why do you say that?"
"First of all, our domestic scientific research system trusts authority too much, and if this information is submitted in your name, as long as the authority says 'it cannot be implemented', it will not be adopted at all; second, even if it is submitted in my name, it is difficult for a person to speak alone in front of those authorities. Shaking his head helplessly, Cheng Hechu continued: "And for those authorities, there are too many innovations in this warship, and many design concepts are unacceptable to their thinking. β
Cheng Hechu's words make people feel very sad, but they are true, if any expert and scholar is not recognized by the mainstream authorities, then even if he is correct a thousand times or ten thousand times, he can only be a non-mainstream that is excluded everywhere, and theories and theories can only sleep at the bottom of the box, the most famous example is Geng Qingguo. The ancients "exchanged the 10,000-character flat strategy for the owner's tree planting book." The helplessness of this era is the best embodiment.
For those senior military fans' small plans and small constructions, Cheng Hechu could only find a way to report and adopt them.
It is basically impossible to invest huge sums of money in building such a warship.
Pang Jindong has some understanding of this situation, but still questioned: "But this is not my personal ingenuity, but the elite institutions of country M have really researched it!"
"Here's the problem, once this warship is taken out, country M will immediately know that it has plagiarized its design. Even if we add our own features and improvements, and change the warship as much as possible, there is no way not to show any traces. For a long time, country M has been chasing after the wind every day, saying that we have plagiarized their technology. Not to mention that this information was indeed obtained from others, even if it is not ......" Cheng Hechu looked at the CD, and his tone revealed extreme helplessness: "You know the policy, who would dare to build such a warship?"
Pang Jindong asked calmly: "In addition to avoiding international disputes, are there any other reasons that cannot be created?"
"Yes!" Cheng Hechu nodded decisively and told Pang Jindong: "I said that there are too many innovative ideas on this warship, which many people can't accept. In fact, many people in China have objections to the military building and strategic thinking of country M, and although the facts can always prove that they are right, the influence of these old ideas is still very great. There is still the possibility of doing work in small things, but such a huge project ......"
