Speaking of the drone project back then, Shen Yiyi was also embarrassed in his own heart. In her heart, she was secretly glad that the project was not favored and valued by the relevant state departments in the end. Because she has her own ideas about drones, and to be precise, drones have a certain place on her own technology roadmap. Compared with the development of drones led by the state, she personally hopes that her voice can be large enough.

However, she can also see from this incident that some domestic leaders and experts, especially the military leaders, may not have realized the huge war potential of drones due to the limitations of their vision. They still don't know that more than ten years later, the United States will be able to kill all sides with a small drone, and basically kill a Osama_Bin_Laden that is extremely well hidden. It can be said that drones have taken the precision strike tactic of "targeted killing" invented by Israel and the United States to the extreme. This is a far-reaching invention that can change the tide of tactics.

To be honest, Shen Yiyi himself knows that the technical difficulty of drones is not particularly high. Not to mention anything else, just say that later, when the United States drones emerged in one battle after another, our military also discovered the role of drones, and then all kinds of domestic drones sprung up everywhere like mushrooms after a rain. These are basically similar aircraft in appearance to similar aircraft in the United States, and the performance is not bad, so that Americans can only sour evaluate these as another_Chinese_copycat, but there is no way. Because these planes were completely researched by the Chinese themselves under the condition that the United States and the entire Western world have imposed a strict technical blockade on China. Therefore, it can be regarded as a complete independent technology of the Chinese.

Of course, there is no way to make a simple analogy between the conditions of today and those of a decade or so. Shen Yiyi also believes that this is after she started the drone project. But I haven't touched the main reason for this project for two whole years. Even An Zhusheng and Xiao Yizhan, the two old men, mistakenly thought that they were giving up halfway, and she didn't explain to them her opinion boss, in fact, the time she spent was to pave the way for restarting the project.

But she knew in her heart that she had never given up on that project. Even if it is not out of the consciousness of a soldier's son, from the perspective of a capitalist. Such a project that can only overcome technical difficulties, and has a huge application prospect that can be corroborated by the memories of future generations, if it is lightly abandoned here, it is too sorry for my foresight. Therefore, such a loss-making business is as shrewd as Shen Yiyi and resolutely refuses to do it.

"Mr. Tan, as you can guess, this project is the main purpose of my coming here today. At the same time, for us at Tsinghua University, this project is also a good opportunity for us to get involved in the field of aviation development. ”

Shen Yiyi was ready to talk to Tan Zhong about the significance of this project to Tsinghua University.

"I think Mr. Tan also knows that I am not only a science and engineering student. The engineer of the future is also a businessman who can be regarded as a small achievement. Shen Yiyi knew that in addition to his background in politics, for these people who paid attention to his family, the weight of business might not be particularly important to them, but it would not be deliberately ignored by them.

"There are several criteria for the division of markets in economics, one of which is the maturity of the market and the competitors in the market. If it is a mature market and is dominated by a few traditional powerhouses, then the barrier to entry for this market is quite high for latecomers. This is like the field of aviation research in China now. I believe that without my reminder, you will also agree that we Tsinghua do not have an advantage. Basically, this is the sphere of influence of those traditional aviation schools. ”

Although I don't like Shen Yiyi's use of the term that divides the interests of Western colonizers at that time to describe the current situation in the domestic academic circles. But Tan Zhong can't deny the existence of the phenomenon that Shen Yiyi said in China. In a way, the determination of relevant domestic interest groups to defend their interests is no worse than that of the Western powers at the time.

Shen Yiyi knew that it was inconvenient for Tan Zhong to express his stance on this assertion, even he knew that Shen Yiyi was not wrong, but the recognition in his heart and the approval in his mouth were actually fundamentally different. As a powerful official who pursues progress in politics and has a great future in his career, Tan Zhong's failure to speak is already very revealing.

However, this project was proposed two years ago by academics in the field of aviation. But in the end, it was not valued by the above, but it gave us a good opportunity for Tsinghua University. Shen Yiyi continued on his topic, "Because according to the situation in the past two years, those scholars have begun to engage in other topics that have received more attention because they have not received any important topics." It's fair to say that they don't have the heart to pick up the project again, which has been almost abandoned. And this time is a good opportunity for us at Tsinghua University to intervene. I believe that Principal Tan will also know. This project may even become a stepping stone or an excellent opportunity for us to intervene in the field of aviation research. ”

Tan Zhong smiled slightly, and asked Shen Yiyi: "You don't have to draw me a pie first." You know, painting a big pie is something that your principal and I often do in front of the leaders. Let's talk about it first, even if Beihang University did not continue to engage in research in this field, since the state does not approve the project, how can we at Tsinghua University intervene in the research of this project? How to ensure the project plan and project funding? ”

Shen Yiyi smiled. She felt that Tan Zhong was deliberately pretending to be stupid. Project funding is not just money. She Shen Yiyi has not done anything else at Tsinghua University in the past two years, but she has done nothing less than this money-throwing thing! She thought that when the leaders of other departments mentioned her, it would not be the beautiful woman who studied well in the electronics department, but the rich girl with a background and a lot of money in her hands.

"Headmaster, I can solve the problem of funding. I don't think you have any doubts about that. As for the project plan, there is a plan for the project to be established, and if the project is not approved, there is not necessarily no plan, right? After all, whatever you do, you will have a spectrum in your heart, and you will think about what I should do, how to do it, when to do it, and who will do it. Doesn't these problems add up to a plan? ”

Tan Zhong shook his head: "You little girl, what are you pretending to be stupid with me." You know that's not what I mean by plan. I know that you have money, and I believe that you can also carry out this project with your own investment. But when I say plan, I mean the plan of the state. If it is not included in the plan, the state will not invest, but I value it that if it is not included in the plan, it will not be possible to award awards in the future. If you don't award awards, where do you get the titles and honors of teachers and students who are engaged in research? ”

Shen Yiyi was almost dying of laughter in his heart. If you ask those teachers and students after ten years whether income is important or what kind of job title or award certificate is important, there will be no problem with what their answer will be. Because if you can do both, that's the best. But if you can't have both, then of course the former is better. Because the latter, whether it is a title or a certificate or something, in the end, isn't it all because it will be transformed into the former to be valuable? Moreover, in the part of cash value, everyone pays attention to the principle of being in the pocket. Because money also has a time value. Of course, ten years later, it is not quite appropriate to say at this time. Shen Yiyi had to say the same thing in a different way.

"Mr. Tan, before answering this question, I would like to ask you, what do you think of the prospects of this project? Because if you don't like the project yourself, then I believe that your interest in the project will decrease, and on the other hand, I don't really want to force a team that doesn't believe it will be successful to get involved in the project. Shen Yiyi asked very skillfully, but he was also a little aggressive. Because in fact, at this time, she was already picking up the stick of money and forcing Tan Zhong to express her position.

Tan Zhong groaned. He himself thinks that the prospect of success of this project is not obvious, but in his heart, because he has considerable expectations for Shen Yiyi's talent in fluids, he believes that the project that Shen Yiyi is willing to invest money in is very likely to be successful. So he nodded: "I'm sure you're so confident that the success of this project is predictable." ”

Shen Yiyi said: "That's fine." As far as the aspects you are concerned about, there are actually two ways to set up a project. One is to follow the normal path as the aviation industry has done before, and write a project proposal and feasibility study report. However, there are thousands of similar projects every year, and it is really unlikely that the project will be successful. Even if the project is successful, it is unlikely that there will be any amount of research funding. The other is to start researching it ourselves. As I said, funding is not a problem. With the guarantee of funds, I believe that in a short period of time, we should be able to produce a result that can kill others in seconds. And after the thing comes out, we do a promotion to the relevant departments, so that they can see the benefits of the thing and arouse their interest. When they're interested, they'll definitely want to use it. When the time comes, wouldn't it be okay to go through another procedure, symbolically approve the document, and put the project on the normal track? (To be continued......)
