"But what?" Lu Xudong interrupted Zhong Bai's defense in a stern tone: "Xiao Zhong, I want to remind you that the reason why I supported many of your ideas and measures from the perspective of a deputy director is that you have always taken them seriously as a section chief in the department. But this time you also heard it, what is Director Cao and even the ministry worried about? ”

"They are worried that the identity of the third-party company providing the solution is not clear, and it may damage the interests of the mining company and even the country, right?" In the face of Lu Xudong's questioning, Zhong Bai did not flinch, but directly chose to face it.

"If you know that, why don't you understand the huge risks behind your current proposal? You have to know that this is something that has never had a precedent before, and there is. Lu Xudong paused and said, "I don't know if you really didn't understand or fake." This time, the department and Director Cao obviously tend to use MD's automatic drilling and blasting system, and there is a deeper reason, that is, this thing is the latest technology of MD people, and it is the technology they are still using and have not been eliminated! Do you know that since the establishment of diplomatic relations with MD, this is the first time that we have the opportunity to get the latest technology of MD in terms of industrial technology, especially in mining technology? ”

"I know." Zhong Bai nodded, indicating that he had no objection to this issue.

"Since you know this, you should understand that once the supervision team approves the plan, the cost of 24 million US dollars will definitely not be for a small unit in the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City, and there is no need to even use the foreign exchange reserves of our Tianhe Province!" Only then did Lu Xudong get to the crux of the matter: "Although I don't have a definite source yet, I heard that it is very likely that the ministry will request the State Development Planning Commission to allocate special foreign exchange funds for the introduction of an automatic drilling and blasting system!" Once you spend a lot of money to introduce this system, you wouldn't think it would only be used in a medium-sized underground bauxite mine with a total reserve of only 65 million tons, right? ”

Lu Xudong's hint was already obvious, and Zhong Bai was unceremoniously just one step in place and made the words clear, otherwise he would feel that Director Lu had always suspected that he was flying and did not understand the real operation behind this matter.

"Of course, I wouldn't think that just for a small bauxite mine in Heyuan City, so many departments will be involved." Zhong Bai thought for a while and said his views unreservedly: "The country spent a lot of money to introduce MD's automatic drilling and blasting system program is just the beginning, seize the honeymoon period of China and M, introduce it at the cost of 24 million US dollars, and then strive to eat through this system within one to two years, and quickly improve the core technology of related equipment manufacturing enterprises in China to win the core technology and carry out similar imitations, and finally launch a new model of similar underground mining with similar effects within a certain period of time, but the cost is much lower. That's how the ministry thinks about it, isn't it? ”

In fact, this is the method that Huaguo has always adopted on the road of rapid development of various industries, even in the previous life, everyone also knows the story of Huaqiangbei's "copycat machine" in Shenzhen, which is actually a copy of this model!

That's right, according to some of the obscure evidence provided by Lu Xudong just now, Zhong Bai has every reason to judge that the introduction of the MD automatic drilling and blasting system by the ministry this time is actually not the intention of the drunkard, the real purpose is to "copy" it!

The so-called "copycat" is just a means, a special means under the current monopoly of MD industrial science and technology, just to bypass the so-called patents.

I am not a complete imitation, of course, it is impossible to achieve 100% of the effect of the original, but I only need to simplify and imitate your core technology, even if the final "copycat" out of a system is only 70% or 80% of your original version, because it bypasses the core of the patent, which is prone to disputes, and finally can achieve the effect of "foreign for Chinese use"!

"But I'll say it's not scientific! The goal you want to achieve may not be achieved! But Zhong Bai's shout broke the life door of MD's automatic drilling and blasting system: "Because I said a long time ago, although the automatic drilling and blasting system is the latest first-line underground mining technology solution that MD is still using, it is still far from mature!" Director Lu, let me say a bold word here, that is, this thing will not only not mature in the past two or three years, and cannot be successfully imitated and borrowed by our country, but even for a long time, I am afraid that it will not touch the edge of maturity after ten or twenty years! With the continuous upgrading of this system, we have to pay the same upgrade price is very large, which is not as effective as the single hydraulic support roof method! At least the plan I proposed can run steadily in the past ten years, and it doesn't need to cost grassroots enterprises too much! ”

"You're ......!" Lu Xudong didn't expect Zhong Bai to be so bold, not only did he use the most straightforward language to find out the meaning of the ministry in person, but also dared to criticize this decision so boldly, which was actually wrong?

If you say that MD's automatic drilling and blasting system does not have a bright and stable future and future, doesn't that mean that the relevant departments in the ministry are wrong in their judgment on this matter?

This question is not simply a technical issue, but a question of direction and decision-making!

"Zhong Bai, I don't allow you to say that in front of anyone in the supervision group anymore!" Lu Xudong was also really anxious at this time: "Although I am your leader, you dare to question the policies of the ministry like this, are you not afraid of ruining your future?" ”

This warning can be said to be extremely serious, and it also shows Lu Xudong's concern.

If it weren't for what Zhong Bai, a young man, had been doing, not to mention the final effect, but only to talk about the original intention of the country for the development of the country's industry, Lu Xudong would definitely have suspended him immediately!

"There are thousands of industrial people in Huaguo, and I dare not say how much I have contributed to the take-off of our country's industry, but this time I must insist on my opinion! Because the introduction of MD automatic drilling and blasting system is destined to become an unsuccessful example, it will seriously delay the progress of the development of mining technology in our country. Director Lu, thank you for calling me here alone today to tell me so many things, but please rest assured, my opinions just now are definitely not alarmist, and I will come up with evidence in a short period of time to let the above change their views! ”

Lu Xudong was silent, this was the first time in Zhong Bai's history that he strongly rejected his persuasion.

It can't be said that this kid is not smart, he has given him a lot of advice in the past, Zhong Bai will adjust his approach in time to avoid being too aggressive, and finally achieved the effect of being happy, but why is Zhong Bai so insistent this time, so that he has to say so decisively at the risk of being knocked off by himself?

Lu Xudong actually has some things that have not been said, that is, the determination of a plan, which involves the relationship between Huaguo, the Soviet Union, and MD.

Don't look at it as just a small underground mine mining plan in Heyuan City, but Zhong Bai has made it very clear that the production and trial reports of the accessories in his single hydraulic support roof method plan are currently from Soviet Ukraine.

Needless to say, the automatic drilling and blasting system is 100% on the MD side.

In 1982, the direction of the introduction and exchange of foreign science and technology in China was, of course, to give priority to MD, who had an increasingly good relationship, rather than the big brother Su Guo, who had been in a stalemate with China for more than 20 years.

You can imagine if a supervision team of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry proved that the equipment from the Soviet Union could overwhelm MD's latest plan, how much shock would this cause in the domestic industrial mouth?

Not to mention the Ministry of Industry, if the leaders at a higher level hear this news, how big an earthquake will it be?!

Of course, if the final result is good, it may trigger a series of decision-making changes in the ministry, but that possibility is probably a little too small, right?

And what if the end result is bad?

As a deputy director, Lu Xudong is no longer willing to think about it, and he can even say that he ...... He didn't dare to think about it!

After a comprehensive evaluation, Lu Xudong believes that Zhong Bai is walking a tightrope this time, and the probability of success is very low, in his opinion, 30% is good, and the remaining 70% is completely based on the above uncontrollable factors.

At today's meeting, the reason why Lu Xudong supported Zhong Bai was completely from the technical level, and he also wanted to express his attitude to Cao Shiming and the Ministry of Industry through Zhong Bai's mouth, that is, when the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry faced the problem of reducing the production of underground bauxite mines in Heyuan City, they sincerely gave full play to their subjective initiative, thought of ways and came up with ideas.

But everything must have a degree, the arm can't twist the thigh, Lv Xudong actually knows that the final choice in the department is the MD's automatic drilling and blasting system instead of the single hydraulic support roof method proposed by Zhong Bai, but our Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry has taken the first step to take the initiative and dare to try in this regard, which is enough.

"Alright, little bell." Lu Xudong sorted out his thoughts: "The two of us will discuss this plan here today, and there is still a week before the plan is determined, you can finish everything you want to do this week, and finally you can insist on your opinion at the decision meeting, but I still say that, you have to be mentally prepared, and it is basically impossible for the supervision group to use the second choice other than the automatic drilling and blasting system plan." ”

"Thank you, Director Lu." Zhong Bai didn't say much, and everyone knew what he was saying.

"Go get busy." Lu Xudong waved his hand, sat back in his seat, and looked down at the documents.
