Chapter 727: Cooperate in a Different Way
The study room of the courtyard also has the characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a root carved tea table and six root carved round stools placed outside, and a set of precious purple sand tea sets are placed on the tea table, and the floor is paved with marble.
Not only is the floor made of solid wood, but even the bookshelves, desks and chairs are made of rosewood. In addition to the old thread-bound books on the shelves, there are also some antique porcelain and knick-knacks, which are not ordinary.
Looking at a beautiful girl, sitting in front of her yellow rosewood desk and reading a book, this scene is also very beautiful, Wu Chen entered this quaint study, and secretly slandered in his heart, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider, did I enter this place casually?
"Miss Lin came to the Humble House this time, is it for personal matters or for official business?" Wu Chen began to boil water, and the spring water made tea had a special taste.
"Then does Mr. Wu Chen want me to come for business, or do you want me to come for private business?" Lin Qingyi put down the book, stood up with a smile and said.
Although the tone of her words was very tempting, Wu Chen was not moved at all, because she knew very well in her heart that this girl was not her own dish, and she didn't even have such thoughts.
Since the two have been in contact, the only purpose is to trade weapons and equipment, and all the convenient conditions they have obtained in Huaxia now are the result of their own efforts.
"We've been busy with each other's business for a long time, and we rarely have the opportunity to sit down and have a cup of tea and chat, so let's change the way today!" Wu Chen lit a Cuban Havana cigar and conveyed his attitude to Lin Qingyi.
"People like us, private matters will inevitably touch on official affairs, I haven't congratulated Mr. Wu Chen, the sales of fifth-generation fighters are very hot, and even European countries are scrambling to buy them, before only the American F-22 Raptor fighter could enter active service, and now the mercenary corps is three models at a time, whether it is an aero engine or stealth design, including stealth materials, which makes the Chinese military feel very envious." Lin Qingyi said.
"Miss Lin, I still said before, a country can never be strong by external forces, and it will stifle its own creativity, and it must go through the process of independent research and development from scratch in order to accumulate valuable experience, obtain a lot of added value from it, and lay a solid foundation for future development."
"The research and development of the fifth-generation aircraft of the mercenary corps can only be regarded as a preliminary stage, and there is still a certain gap compared with the Raptor fighter, it should be said that it is an experimental fifth-generation aircraft that only has actual combat capabilities, and it will also need to do large-scale upgrades to the avionics system in the future, after all, in terms of electronic technology, the mercenary corps has no way to compare with the United States, this is a fact." Wu Chen shook his head and said.
The research and development of weapons and equipment of the mercenary corps is far from that of the US military, and the scientific research strength and industrial strength of the superpower are not blown out, simply put, as long as you think that a certain scientific research may be beneficial to the military, you can carry out financial support, whether it is a military research institution or a research institution of an enterprise, or even an individual can apply, but the mercenary corps cannot do it, and there is no such strong financial support.
"But you don't deny it, if you get the cutting-edge technical resources of your mercenary corps, the process of Huaxia's military industry will be accelerated a lot, you know that the industrial base of our motherland is very weak, and the research and development capability is still limited by various factors for the time being, and there is no way to make up for this gap in a short time, the fact is that science and technology must not be false at all, and the slightest gap may lead to a few years of time and a large amount of money." Lin Qingyi said.
"Science and technology research and development is often from point to surface, the study of a technology, may therefore extend to many fields, this is called added value, it is because of the weak foundation, we have to step by step, the formation of chain industry, the formation of industrial clusters, always rely on external forces to follow behind the ass of others, the gap will be wider and wider, China's military industry to break out, what is needed is the ability to innovate, what is needed is the improvement of the country's comprehensive environment, not relying on a certain technology."
"I have a phased strategic goal planning plan here, which is a proposal for the next 15 years of the Chinese military industry, from now on, I will not directly hand over a series or complete sets of technologies to the motherland, and in another way, contribute to the construction of the infrastructure."
"Western countries, especially Europe and the United States, have imposed a technological blockade on China for a long time, and many of the equipment and instruments used for research are what our scientific research institutions want to buy but can't buy, this problem is very simple, and you put forward a list for me to operate, at least 90 percent of the requirements can be met." Wu Chen insisted on his opinion.
In fact, Lin Qingyi also admitted in his heart that Wu Chen's logic is right, and this suggestion is also for the sake of China's military industry, the country's development and progress can never rely on existing technology, but must continue to explore and innovate, always follow the development behind other people's butts, when will it go to the forefront of the world?
Although Wu Chen is only the No. 3 person in the mercenary corps, there are not too many things that can make his own decisions, but in the face of the needs of the motherland, no matter how busy he is, he still proposes to promise one and then do one.
However, listening to today's tone, it seems that he no longer wants to continue the previous way, or his ability has reached the limit, because the cutting-edge technologies that the Huaxia military wants have touched the bottom line of the mercenary corps and the high-voltage line of the US government.
Although he did not promise to hand over the cutting-edge military technology directly to us, the R&D equipment and manufacturing equipment of European and American countries can be supplied in large quantities and will not be constrained by the US government, which is not easy, you must know that the United States and NATO member states have still imposed a technological blockade on us, and through the channel of mercenaries, we are equivalent to lifting this restriction."
"The equipment department has issued a secret notice to the scientific research unit, the equipment that needs to be purchased is listed, and it will be sent to Mr. Wu Chen as soon as possible, the chief said, this matter is of great significance, no less than those cutting-edge technology, in order to achieve a leap in the future." said the leader of the liaison group.
"So many cutting-edge technologies can be seen but can't be obtained, I'm a little unwilling, if the mercenary corps opens up these resources, the gap between us and the United States can be narrowed by nearly 20 years in a short time, and more importantly, we will save hundreds of billions of dollars in the process!" Lin Qingyi said with some distress.
The research and development of every modern weapon and equipment requires a large amount of funds and a large number of R&D personnel, as well as a large number of related departments to cooperate, and the initial investment alone is a very terrifying figure. Take the US Joint Strike Fighter project as an example, the United States has invested a full $40 billion in this project, which is more than 300 billion yuan when converted into Chinese currency!
And with these conditions, if you want to develop it, it doesn't necessarily take much time and energy, ten or eight years is not to say, the third brother's family is often a sword for decades, and the last sword can't be used!
