Liu Yihao actually knew that at this point in time, if he harshly criticized Yang Qiu, who had just made a contribution, he might not only make Yang Qiu dissatisfied, but also not get the understanding of others. But there are things that are done wrong when you do it wrong. Doing something wrong doesn't necessarily mean doing something right. The fact that Yang Qiu's self-assertion played a role does not mean that what he did was reasonable and correct. In fact, what he did was the most disgusting behavior of any person in charge of a scientific research project. That is not following orders and making one's own decisions.

Therefore, Liu Yihao asked Yang Qiu in person: "Yang Qiu, don't you think that if the experiment is successful, what you did will become a bad thing, right?" ”

Liu Yihao didn't directly reprimand him, but he knew that Yang Qiu could understand the meaning of what he said. So although his question made the other people who were immersed in the joy of victory a little strange, Yang Qiu still nodded and accepted.

"No, it won't. I know you have something to say to me. I also knew that something was not quite right about what I was doing. I admit it. You can come back to me later. At this time, if you look at the way everyone looks, don't let everyone be disappointed. I'm not going to run. You'll have plenty of time to discuss my mistakes. Yang Qiu motioned for Liu Yihao to look at the curious and puzzled gazes of the people around him.

Liu Yihao looked at the eyes of so many people on his side, and he hesitated a little in his heart. Now it seems that if you catch Yang Qiu's mistake now, it is indeed a little inappropriate. But he had clearly thought about using this opportunity to educate Yang Qiu about the opportunity. He always felt that this criticism and other things should be struck while the iron was hot. If it is like Yang Qiu's suggestion, wait until later to talk about this matter, will it not be so effective?

Zhao Manhong, who has also been at the helm of scientific research for many years, knows very well where Liu Yihao's hesitation comes from. In fact, when Yang Qiu admitted that he had a secret door to the program that everyone didn't know about, he had already faintly felt a little inappropriate in his heart. It's just that there were really more important things to deal with at that time, so I didn't bring it up. But indeed, Yang Qiu's unorganized and undisciplined behavior must not be condoned and taken lightly. Moreover, Old Man Zhao also felt that this matter was not only Yang Qiu's own mistake, but even the persons in charge of projects such as Liu Yihao and Shen Yiyi had things that needed to be reviewed. When they reviewed the complete design, they didn't find Yang Qiu's hidden secret door. This cannot but be said to be a huge mistake in the overall control of the project.

However, Mr. Zhao Manhong, who has also been a member of the army for many years, also feels that at such a moment when the fate of the success of the "new fully automatic machine gun" is at stake, there is really no need to do something to ruin the atmosphere. Because here, in addition to having its own team for this project, there is also a presiding organ for the experiment, that is, its own military district. One of the things that project leaders need to understand is that if a project team member makes a mistake, unless it's a critical, disruptive mistake, the level of disclosure should be limited. In other words, family ugliness should not be publicized.

Therefore, Old Man Zhao also thinks that it is still inappropriate to discuss Yang Qiu's mistakes on this occasion.

Therefore, Old Man Zhao Manhong said to Liu Yihao and Yang Qiu: "Okay." It's good that everyone agrees. I won't talk about it now. It is about to come to the conclusion that our machine gun has not reached the expected design indicators. Let's stop dwelling on these things that we can have time to discuss later. Let's see if this machine gun can be developed successfully. ”

The matter that Old Man Zhao said is the most important thing today. The purpose of holding this shooting test today is not to prove that all of its original designs are correct and reasonable, and to pass the shooting test, so that more people can recognize this new type of weaponry independently developed by the team of college students of Tsinghua University.

Liu Yihao, who was reminded by the old man, also realized this at this time. Rather than correcting or pursuing Yang Qiu's disorganization and indiscipline, it is more practical for everyone to come to the conclusion that the firing test of the "new fully automatic machine gun" was a complete success. You know, you still have a graduation thesis in your hand. And the key to the whole class finishing their graduation thesis is now on the data and results of this shooting test. He didn't want to let one of his less suitable decisions affect the writing of his class's graduation thesis.

So after Liu Yihao and Yang Qiu exchanged their opinions with their eyes, they still agreed to Old Man Zhao's request. He said to Old Man Zhao, "Okay." I see, Zhao Lao. Yang Qiu and me, we will have a chance to talk about it later. In fact, Shen Yiyi is not here today, so it may be more appropriate for us to discuss this matter when Shen Yiyi is also present in the future. Today we still have a way to get the certificate of qualification for this machine gun. ”

Seeing that Liu Yihao and the other classmates understood what they meant, Old Man Zhao was still very happy. He said, "That's right." To be honest, after today, not only will you and Shen Yiyi have to talk to Yang Qiu, but I will also join in. I have something to talk to you two about. But today's topic revolves around whether the machine gun has reached the design parameters. ”

Everyone has no objection to Old Man Zhao's words at this time. Old man Zhao Manhong also followed the topic and asked Liu Yihao more: "Xiao Liu, tell me, how many points do you think you can put on your design in this live-fire test?" If you don't take into account the problem with your first test, how many points can you score? ”

Liu Yihao thought about it for a while, and then turned his head to communicate with his classmates, and then replied to the old man very seriously: "I think I can score 75 points." out of 100 points. ”

Old Man Zhao didn't expect that Liu Yihao's self-evaluation of this machine gun test would be so low. This was a surprise to him. Although the first round of testing was obviously a failure, he was able to watch the second round of testing. By the way, he also paid attention to the expressions and reactions of the spectators. It can be said that he has definitely passed the second round of excellent performance, and the machine gun developed by all of them has won the approval of all these spectators. Even those who were a little picky at the beginning have already praised this "new fully automatic machine gun" with such great power. Even he himself watched this performance, and he also thought that this was worthy of a machine gun with outstanding performance, and it was not in vain that his old man spent all this time crazy with these college students. Where did you think that Liu Yihao's vision was even higher than himself.

However, Old Man Zhao still didn't say his own points, but asked Liu Yihao directly: "Oh? You give 75 points? Does this score take into account the first failure or not the first failure? As I said, you're going to have to give your design a score on the basis of ignoring the failure of the first test. ”

Liu Yihao said seriously: "For me, the first test launch failure was nothing at all. Because that's just the conditions of the test site, which can't meet the testing requirements of our infrared weapons. Therefore, the failure of the test launch does not mean that there is a problem with our weapons, but a problem with the test site. When I gave 75 points, I naturally didn't think about the failure of the first test shot at all. ”

Oh. That's right. Old man Zhao Manhong can only say this about Liu Yihao's thinking logic. But it made him even more curious. Why did Liu Yihao still give his work such a low score without considering the failure of the first test launch? What does this kid think?

Old Man Zhao once again asked Liu Yihao this question shamelessly. He wants to see from Liu Yihao's answer what this kid's way of thinking looks like. In scientific research, in addition to relying on talent, there is also the accumulation of knowledge, and the role of the word system is particularly important. Because the development of scientific research in every country must follow a certain logic.

For example, in order to develop a certain technological product that can achieve a certain function, different countries may have different development ideas. The American approach to research is different from that of Russia. Of course, the Japanese approach to research is different from that of Germany. However, each country's approach to research is the one that best suits its own realities. It is like the Soviet Union's electronic technology is inferior to that of the United States, but people rely on their strong integration capabilities and aerodynamic research level to concoct advanced fighters that can compete with the United States. Similarly, although Soviet military equipment is inseparable from stupid and stupid evaluations, in the world market, Soviet products also have a reputation for being durable.

This example illustrates the fundamental difference between the Soviet and American research systems.

Similarly, China's scientific research has its own system. Although this system originated in the Soviet Union, after so many years of evolution, it has also taken on the shadow of China's own research system. What Mr. Zhao wants to see from Liu Yihao now is actually the question of whether Liu Yihao's thinking logic and China's research system are compatible.

In a research team, the question of gregariousness is very important. Because scientific research is still a collective activity after all. If the collective believes that the value of a certain achievement is excellent, but you want to stand out from the crowd and insist that the level of the achievement is not good, then obviously you have become the person who is not liked by the collective. Of course, if you can convince others that your claims make sense, they may forgive you. But if your argument is not accepted by others, then you are isolated from the rest of your peers, and you will not be able to integrate into that research community.

Mr. Zhao Manhong trained Liu Yihao as his successor in the future, and of course he didn't want to see him incompatible with China's scientific research system. So Mr. Zhao wanted to give Liu Yihao another chance to see what kind of logic his 75-point score was based on, and whether he could convince himself of people who thought he should score at least 90 points.

Of course, Liu Yihao didn't know all the activities in Old Man Zhao's heart. There is a reason why he gave this score that makes others think that it is a little lower. Originally, he wanted to wait until the end of the experiment and when he had a summary meeting within the project team. But since some people represented by Mr. Zhao asked this question here, Liu Yihao is certainly not afraid to explain it to everyone.

"In fact, as you can see, this time, because there is a mismatch between the test site and the working principle of our design, our test launch failed at the beginning. But as I said earlier, such failures do not mean that our designs have failed. In my opinion, this just speaks volumes about the design of this machine gun of ours. Its foresight makes it difficult to find an off-the-shelf environment in which to test its functionality. ”

Liu Yihao really dared to say it. With the team composed of students from Tsinghua University, who could not get Shang Fang's sword, it was already very good that they could find this military camp in the Capital Military Region to provide a test site. He actually dislikes people here.

However, Old Man Zhao didn't care about Liu Yihao's "ignorance", but let him continue to speak.

"Although with the help of Yang Qiu's previous foreshadowing, we were finally able to test the combat ability of the machine gun in such an environment, but this combat ability is very different from our previous assumptions. The results of the current large-scale killing of a surface mark are very different from our initial predictions. ”

Is that so? After listening to Liu Yihao's conclusion, Old Man Zhao couldn't sit still. You know, so many spectators at the scene were able to change the bad impression of the failure of the first test because of the second test firing, and it was all the impact of the terrifying lethality in the second test firing. Now Liu Yihao said that this was not their research expectation, which is a bit problematic. You must know that if the referees in the stands who are responsible for judging hear this, they are likely to directly "shoot" the test results of this machine gun. Liu Yihao, this kid, don't get carried away too much, and finally dig a pit and bury himself! (To be continued.) )
