Fan Wuxian knew something about the Skunk Factory, and that was in his previous life, before he went to elementary school, his father Fan Heng often took him to work and took him to the reading room, so he didn't have to worry about it in the afternoon.

In the dimly lit semi-basement room of the Plains Factory, Fan Heng could often spend a quiet afternoon, and the research institutes of the military factory, books and magazines were all related to weapons, and the story of the Skunk Factory was read at that time.

Skunk Works is a Lockheed. An engineer at Martin's research institute got the idea to create a stealth aircraft after reading a paper written by the Soviets, which was so boring that the Soviets themselves did not pay attention to it. When the Skunk Works engineer came up with his idea, he was criticized by his colleagues and superiors, and some even suggested that he had a brain problem and offered to fire him because his sketches of airplanes looked strange and didn't look like an airplane at all. But after his efforts to communicate, it was finally gradually understood, and the first stealth fighter began trial production.

Soon after, during the first radar test, they hung a model of an airplane that could not fly on a tree, and when they came to the radar screen to see the effect, the person in charge of monitoring the radar said, "The model must have fallen from the tree and could not be seen." ”

Skunk Works is a secret military base that has built some of the most powerful planes in the history of the U.S. Air Force, and if you see a three-speed sonic plane, a stealth fighter, or something like that, it's estimated that 80% of it was built by Skunk Works. At this time, everyone ran out to see the situation again, and found that the model airplane was hanging on the tree well, and then we knew that the experiment was really successful.

In addition to that, they have made a lot. Stealth spy plane. Fly very high in the air and survey the enemy below. In the past, U2 spy and reconnaissance planes often flew over the former Soviet Union. The Soviets knew, but there was nothing they could do, it was a moving target, and it flew too fast and too high for conventional weapons to hit. The Soviets themselves had no choice but to send planes to follow below, forming a "metal cloud" in a vain attempt to interfere with the spy planes above.

A lot of U.S. troops in the first Gulf War. The main fighter is designed by Skunk Works, and it is extremely accurate. An ace pilot at the time once boasted to his general, "You just give the order to hit the men's or women's restrooms, and I'll do the rest." ”

Some of the planes produced by Skunk Works are also. It was aimed at China, but China's luck was better than that of the Soviet Union, and the U-2 they equipped Taiwan with was once beaten down by the mainland and put on display in the park, and China's national prestige was immediately greatly boosted.

There was a time when they designed unmanned for China. Fly spy planes, but for various reasons, they design planes that can't return, so they just want to fly over China, especially above nuclear facilities, and then take pictures, and then quickly return home, go somewhere in the ocean and drop the camera imaging facilities with parachutes, and then the planes destroy themselves.

This is considered a suicidal mission, but unfortunately the first experiment was unsuccessful, fly. The plane flew too fast, ran away, couldn't find it, and there were no bones, but later the KGB discovered it, and it turned out that the plane flew over China in a puff of smoke and fell headlong into Siberia. Of course, no photos remained.

In the second experiment, the photo was taken, and I also returned home, also with a parachute. Thrown into the sea, as a result, the US Navy ships that greeted them below did not salvage anything and failed. The third time it didn't work out, and I can't remember how it failed.

Finally, Skunk Works. The second boss said that the project on the Chinese spy plane was terminated after three failures. The second owner of Skunk Works said these words in a published memoir, but Fan Wuxian absolutely did not believe that they had actually stopped designing spy planes against China now, which was the same reason as expecting weasels not to steal chickens.

More often than not, Skunk Works refers to a model of clandestine R&D, with a Skunk Factory-style approach to product development that is widely used, and another project, very similar to Skunk Works, is the Manhattan Project, which created the atomic bomb, a secret project developed under the leadership of scientist Oppenheimer.

At that time, Oppenheimer recruited a group of top scientists, because the project was very secret, and the US government was ready to require these scientists to become soldiers, according to militarized management, who knows that it was unanimously opposed. Scientists say that science needs the free flow of information and is reluctant to join the military.

There's no way, so the U.S. government says, well, since you don't want to join the army, you can't force it, but you have to be cut off from the rest of the world, so they send them to the middle of the desert in New Mexico, isolated from the world, and the outside is full of barbed wire and loaded American GIs.

These scientists have no opinions, no matter how bitter the environment is, there is no complaint when they think that they are building an incomparably powerful bomb that will change history.

It's just that when this group of scientists was making history, their wives were lonely and miserable, and Oppenheimer's wife became an alcoholic.

Whenever he reads this period of history, Fan Wuxian can't help but think that he hopes that history will not only remember these bomb fathers who created history, but also these bomb mothers who stayed alone for the bomb fathers.

When Fan Wuxian took the two sisters to visit the Skunk Works, the entourage who remained in Seattle was already haggling with Clinton's staff.

Although Fan Wuxian and Clinton have reached a consensus, and the three points have been reported to the country and have been recognized by the top level, and it is believed that Fan Wuxian has completed the mission of the United States beautifully this time, there is always more to talk about in terms of details, especially the current intellectual property negotiations and trade negotiations between China and the United States, and it is even more necessary to take this opportunity to make a decision.

The Clinton administration, out of various considerations, does not want the Pentagon, which is dominated by arms dealers, to climb on top of itself, so it still attaches great importance to easing Sino-US relations and maintaining stable trade between the two countries, so it has promised to make some concessions in this intellectual property negotiation in return.

The situation in China at this time is still relatively tense, but the workers have returned to work, and the students have also returned to school, and everyone has experienced this time, and it is clear that without a strong economic backing and a strong national defense force to support, the country cannot really stand up.

After the radical forces suffered a sudden blow, they also collectively lost their voices, and now it is the peaceful development faction that has the upper hand, and the focus of Fan Heng's work in the State Council has also been temporarily concentrated on the adjustment of the military industrial complex.

In the international news broadcast in the evening, there were suddenly footage of Fan Wuji's visit to the United States, partly of which was the footage of Mr. Fan Wuji, chairman of Fan's Investment Group, warmly embracing Bill Gates, president of Microsoft, and partly of Fan Wuji's visit to the Skunk Factory accompanied by Maximus and Bennett.

In the end, the commentator said that China and the United States have always been engaged in conflict and cooperation at the same time, and the friendly cooperation between the two sides should not be affected because of a momentary misunderstanding, and both sides should cherish the status quo of cooperation between each other, and should not be swayed by some reactionary forces and affect the pace of common development.

"The treatment of being disease-free seems to be at least at the level of a vice premier, right? Look at the reporters, and the entourage—" Mother Zhang Mei saw this scene and said to Fan Heng in some surprise.

Fan Kang, who had just rushed back from surfing the Internet, replied, "Ordinary vice premiers may not be able to have this style, you must know that Microsoft and Lockheed Martin are both private companies, and you don't have any temper if people ignore you. ”

Fan Heng listened to their conversation, then took off the eyes he was wearing, rubbed his eyes and said, "You are wrong, in fact, the influence of the disease in China is no worse than abroad." A few days ago, because of the incident of the Southwest Branch, a director and a vice governor were pulled out, and they are all currently under internal review, although they will not get the vice governor down, but the future is bleak. ”

"I think that according to the current development of the situation, the status of the bosses of these private enterprises in China will be greatly improved in the future, and even many people will be able to enter the ranks of participating in politics." Fan Kang thought of the three major portals in which he was a shareholder to cooperate with the government to guide public opinion, so he said to his father Fan Heng.

Fan Heng scratched his head and said, "Although it is still uncertain, the state attaches more and more importance to non-public economic enterprises, and the proportion of non-public economic enterprises in the entire national economy is also increasing. ”

"Will it develop to the point where public ownership is not the main body?" Fan Kang asked.

"That's not easy to say, but all the parts that involve the lifeline of the national economy must be controlled by the state, and this general principle will not change." Fan Heng thought about it and said to his son.

Fan Kang nodded, and thought in his heart that according to the current development speed of the Internet, it is obviously not enough to occupy the status of mainstream media, but what will it be like ten years later? It's hard to say, I suddenly participated in a large proportion of the three major portals, and also acquired the shares of some more distinctive small websites, the scale of this venture capital is really not small, but don't suddenly one day, the government suddenly announced that an Internet company must be controlled by the state, then their own investment will be in vain.

This matter has to wait for Fan Wuxian to come back, and the brothers can sum it up properly.

There are no pop-ups
