Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Essentials of a Top Scientist
Air tickets are very expensive, you can take several trains by plane, this is the general consensus of the Chinese people, but there are not many people who know why air tickets are expensive, and most people are just complaining. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If Zhuang Lao hadn't mentioned it, Ye Chen wouldn't have thought about it.
"Tell me about it." Zhuang Lao Dao.
"Airplanes are too expensive." Ye Chen said.
"Hmm." Zhuang Lao nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes, the aircraft used in our country is really expensive, because this is an imported aircraft." Our country's passenger planes are either Boeing or Airbus, how can it not be expensive to buy other people's planes? We buy one plane, and the Americans can buy two. ”
Without airplanes, there are no flights, so airplanes are expensive, and naturally, airfares are also expensive.
"If we want to develop our country's aviation industry, if we want to bring down the price of air tickets, our country must send big planes to the sky. Otherwise, it's just a fantasy. Zhuang Lao continued.
The civil aircraft that our country now uses are purchased either from Boeing or from Airbus. It is always expensive to buy other people's things, and in such a situation, it is impossible to develop our civil aviation career.
If we want to develop civil aviation, we must send large planes into the sky.
"Our country has now set up a large aircraft company, and there is constantly good news coming, the time for the big plane to go to the sky is getting closer and closer, I think, the time for the ticket price reduction is also fast." Ye Chen said.
"Xiao Ye, you are full of confidence in the future of the country, which is a good thing, but have you ever thought about a question: our country can build a space station, why can't we build a big plane?" Zhuang Lao asked another question.
"This ......" Thinking about it carefully, it is really like this, our country can build a spaceship and a space station in space, but it can't build a big plane, Ye Chen really couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Why?" ”
This problem was not only not thought about by Ye Chen, but also by many Chinese people. Many Chinese people are always complaining that the country can't do it, and they can't even build big planes, but they don't think that we can send spaceships into the sky and build space stations.
"This has to start from the national conditions of our country, and this matter has to start from after the founding of the country." Zhuang Lao's eyes were deep, and he fell into memory, and said: "After the founding of our country, we were poor and white, we wanted money without money, and there were no people to ask for it, and aviation and aerospace both had to develop, and the country could only come up with one money. It is clearly impossible to do two things with one money, and it is only possible to choose one priority development that is especially important for our country. ”
"Whether to give priority to the development of aviation or to give priority to the development of aerospace was very controversial at that time, and the forces of the two factions were similar, and no one could convince anyone. I had just started working and was involved in the debate. ”
"Old Zhuang, which faction do you support?" Ye Chen was a little curious.
Zhuang Lao shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I, what I support is to give priority to the development of aviation. Now that I think about it, I really don't understand the actual situation, and I am playing the piano indiscriminately. ”
"Zhuang Lao, you can't say that, you are also for the country." Ye Chen said.
"It's right for the country, but it's not in line with the actual situation of the country, it's not right, and it will cause a lot of losses to the country." Zhuang Lao shook his head and continued: "Not only are we scientific researchers arguing, but also national leaders are arguing, and it is difficult to decide for a while. The founder of our country was very wise and good at listening to opinions, and he invited our missile father to listen to the views of the missile father, and finally adopted the opinion of the missile father and gave priority to the development of astronautics. ”
Our father of missiles is a world-renowned scientific and technological giant, Ye Chen grew up listening to his stories since he was a child, and asked curiously: "What did the father of missiles say?" ”
"There are two views of the father of missiles: First, he believes that the penetration capability of missiles is much stronger than that of airplanes. This was particularly important because the international environment in which our country was living at that time was very harsh, and the threat of war existed all the time, and if we had not had missiles, even if we had built an atomic bomb, it would have been difficult for us to pose a great threat to the enemy with the speed and penetration capability of an airplane. Zhuang Lao said.
It is needless to say who is stronger and who is weak in the penetration capability of aircraft and missiles.
"Second, the scientific and technological foundation of our country at that time was like that, and it was impossible to build the materials needed for the aircraft, and the materials for the aircraft were reused many times, which was very demanding. Whereas, missiles are disposable and have relatively low requirements for materials. Therefore, giving priority to the development of aerospace is in line with the actual situation of our country. Zhuang Lao greatly appreciated the views of the father of missiles and said: "Later facts have proved that the views of the father of missiles are completely correct. ”
Ye Chen suddenly said: "Now the country has invested heavily in the development of large aircraft, which is to make up for debts. ”
"That's right." Zhuang Lao affirmed.
"I'll just say, our country can build spaceships and space stations, but it can't build big planes, because it is caused by too much debt." Ye Chen finally figured it out.
Zhuang Lao then analyzed, "Another reason why our country's air tickets are expensive is because of the United States. ”
Ye Chen was puzzled and said, "Our country's air tickets are expensive, what does it have to do with the United States?" ”
Xiao Lingyue glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Not only is it related, but it also has a lot to do with it. The United States regards itself as the world's policeman, has a global presence, and the US military can intervene globally, which costs a lot of money. The United States is pursuing its national interests. The plundering of resources is an integral part of the national interest. ”
This statement is relatively novel, but if you think about it carefully, it also makes sense, and Ye Chen can't refute it.
"The United States has a global presence and can strike at it globally, so it has the right to price resources, and if it does not listen to the United States, it will be attacked militarily by the United States. Look at Iran, it is a member of the oil exporting organization, it does not listen to the United States, the United States has wanted to use force several times, if it were not for the game of several major powers to stop the conspiracy of the United States, the United States would have knocked Iran down a long time ago. Xiao Lingyue continued.
The Iranian issue is a hot issue in the world at the moment, Ye Chen naturally knows it, he didn't understand the reason before, but after listening to Xiao Lingyue's words, it is really like that.
"The United States has the right to set prices for resources, and the price set is naturally beneficial to the United States. These things are invisible, but they are real. Xiao Lingyue said.
"Xiao Ye, the reason why I mention this is not to show my erudition, but to tell you a truth, a top scientist must have a world vision and be able to see from the world. Our father of missiles, especially powerful in this regard, is admirable. Zhuang Lao admonished: "If you have time, it will be good for you to study this aspect more." ”
Zhuang Lao This is a good intention, think about it carefully, it is very reasonable, those world-renowned scientists have a broad vision, can look at the big picture, admirable.
Next, Xiao Lingyue gave Ye Chen a good lesson, which greatly improved Ye Chen's views on world issues.
At the same time, Ye Chen's opinion of Xiao Lingyue is different, she is worthy of being a world-class demon, her view of the world is really amazing, there are so many problems, Ye Chen has not even thought about it.
"Global hotspot issues are actually the intersection of the interests of major powers." Ye Chen had a lot to gain.
"Good understanding." Zhuang Lao praised with relief.
"You can teach." Xiao Lingyue commented.
Ye Chen was very depressed, I'm older than you, okay? If you talk like this, you are not afraid of losing your life.
In Ye Chen's consultation, he finally arrived at the capital airport. After getting off the plane and leaving the airport, Ye Chen took a look, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
