Chapter Ninety-Seven: Iron Strikes Must Be Hard
The police officer frowned, "He is ......"
Plainclothes interrupted him: "If you have any opinions, let your director go and tell our director!" ”
The officer's face suddenly looked bad, he was just sent by the district bureau, and asked the director of the district police station to go to the director of the National Security Bureau to reason?
Xia Ming still looked like a good law-abiding citizen, and asked the police officer, "Can I go with them?" ”
The police officer was still a little hesitant, and then said in plainclothes: "You can report to your chief, but we must take people away immediately, and advise you not to have other ideas." ”
This warning officer understands, the person who comes is both the national security and the military, not to mention whether the bar can be passed, just put on a hard posture, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The police officer pretended not to see Xia Ming and the team, turned around and called, Xia Ming left with the plainclothes and explained in the chat, Xiaotang and Xiaohuan were also relieved.
Outside the airport, Xia Ming got into a van painted in army green, and Shang Xin was sitting inside.
Shang Xin said coldly: "Originally, the military was going to pick you up directly on the tarmac, but there were too many procedures, so I had to ask our national security to come forward, but it was a little late." ”
Translated into it, it means that Shang's father is looking for his son to come forward......
Xia Ming asked, "Why are there police, and they are coming so quickly?" ”
"The Malagasy government has made a mistake, and the food delivery is panicking."
Shang Xin snorted disdainfully: "I want to control you first, and then see how to dissipate the anger of Lord Yang." I wanted to come forward to us, but I was pushed back, so I had to find a place. ”
"There won't be any follow-up troubles?" Xia Ming was still a little worried.
Shang Xin gave him a blank look: "Why don't you care about the trouble on the military's side?" ”
Xia Ming thanked the national security who "escorted" him, and then smiled: "How many cups will my uncle punish me?" ”
"Uncle?" Shang Xin's face stiffened, and he raised his mobile phone, and the screen was a photo of Xia Ming and his party on Laphonse Island, and on Xia Ming's left was Xiao Huan holding his arm, and he was talking and laughing with Xiaotang on the right.
Shang Xin said: "I haven't asked you about this. Is it to give you some time to see what you will do, and now it seems that you are ready to hug left and right? ”
Xia Ming said helplessly: "Are you sure you want to talk about this here?" ”
Shang Xin looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, wait until you explain it clearly to Director Jiang." Let's talk again! ”
The van came directly to the training base last time, where Jiang Yaohua and Shang Weidong were all there.
"Xia Ming! You're half a soldier! I also signed the confidentiality regulations by hand! How dare you hide from us and secretly transport power armor out of the country to kill pirates! You said you should be sentenced for a few years!? ”
Shang Weidong blackened his face and knocked the table loudly.
"Okay, old businessman, your black face is just pretending to be for me", Jiang Yaohua sighed, looked at Xia Ming again, and said seriously: "What about you this time." It's a big disaster! ”
You don't look good with this black face......
Xia Ming said with a smile: "The two billion dollar orders in the Middle East, as well as the Americans jumping on their feet, this disaster is indeed not small." ”
"Hey, you kid......" Jiang Yaohua's black face couldn't stand anymore.
On the way, Xia Ming received a message from Yi Liqing, saying that NORINCO had won a large order, and the boss personally talked to him about remodeling, production and going to Saudi Arabia for testing. And about the supporting systems, such as armored vehicles or something, there is no shadow at all. is still waiting for him Xia Ming to make a decision.
The big dog has made such a fuss, can the Americans not be in a hurry? Xia Ming didn't use the smart reptile to catch the reaction of the Americans. I also know what the media is like, and how happy Raytheon and Loma companies are.
Let's just say that the direct consequence of this video is that a new page has been turned in the military history of mankind, and ground warfare is about to enter the era of power armor.
"NORINCO really has to protect you, otherwise their list won't be able to get it. Our equipment development system will definitely protect you too. Otherwise, in the follow-up power armor competition, we will lack the best seeded players, but ......"
Then Jiang Yaohua's seriousness was not pretended, and he talked about the international impact of the video, revealing some thoughts of the foreign affairs department. That is, no matter what is wrong, Xia Ming has to be given the responsibility of stirring up international public opinion.
Then Jiang Yaohua began to reprimand him again, saying that there is no organization and no discipline, XGPA is in the hands of Char Heavy Industries, how to use it to be honest, the military can't control it, but to get this kind of thing abroad, at least you have to say hello.
The power armor project is only a small part of Jiang Yaohua's work, such as the new generation of digital infantry system, and even the group army information reform project, all under his hands, specially went to the base to train Xia Ming, which is also important to him.
So Xia Ming's attitude was very good, and he listened to Jiang Yaohua's training honestly.
"You have been detained in the name of a military agent, and the blame for this matter is on the military, and the military has to pinch its nose to protect you. But relying only on the two of us, we have only barely suppressed the opposition of others, and if we don't do something to deal with you, we really can't explain it. ”
Hearing Jiang Yaohua's words again, Xia Ming smiled bitterly, the military really didn't work in vain to protect him.
Jiang Yaohua demanded that the future movements of XGPA must be under the control of the military. And the military also does not want the development of power armor in the future to be monopolized by Char Heavy Industries, so some technologies, such as improved battery packs and hydraulic kits, must be licensed to other units.
Xia Ming still wanted to make a counteroffer, but when he saw Shang Weidong shaking his head slightly in the back, he understood that this was the bottom line, maybe Shang Weidong had already helped him fight for it.
These two technologies are only secondary, and they can also charge authorization fees, and the military didn't want his motion control system, so Xia Ming admitted it.
Generally speaking, this time it was earned, and while it was advertised, Char Heavy Industries received more than one billion US dollars in orders.
Since Xia Ming had a good attitude, Jiang Yaohua also put down a stone in his heart and told Xia Ming that after the wine punishment, the matter would be over, and no one would come to trouble. In international affairs, let the foreign affairs department help the military wipe its ass, and the military's attitude is surprisingly consistent in this regard.
After Jiang Yaohua left, Shang Weidong sighed: "Xiao Xia, in this matter, the country is worthy of you. Not to mention the attitude over there, there are still people on the military side who want to directly nationalize Char Heavy Industries. Director Jiang withstood a lot of pressure......"
Shang Weidong said earnestly: "The will of the country is not always one, and the more details go down, the more obvious the differences. Everyone has their own ideas, each unit has its own calculations, and the military itself is the same. ”
He advised Xia Ming: "So Xiao Xia, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you enter this system. Iron has to be hard, and you have to be upright, so that you won't have so much trouble. ”
"Thank you uncle for the reminder", although Xia Ming didn't treat Xiao Huan as his girlfriend, his relationship with Xiao Huan is incomparable to that of ordinary lovers. For this relationship, he called Shang Weidong "uncle" sincerely.
You're right, you have to be hard to strike iron.
What Xia Ming was thinking in his heart was only the first half of this advice, and the military's thighs could only solve general problems. And the rest of the matter, obviously can't all count on this thigh.
He was very glad that this salvage was in the name of Metz, otherwise he would not know what he would think if the thing he picked up was in his hands.
left the base, got into Shang Xin's car, and waited for him to ask about Xiaotang, but he didn't expect this pseudo-brother-in-law to be silent halfway.
"To be honest, we all think you're wronged. What are you doing wrong? Is there something wrong with tackling pirates? I used XGPA and advertised. Is it wrong for us to raise our eyebrows in front of the Americans? The result? What they want is to calm the emotions of international friends first, and the military will also take the opportunity to rub oil ......"
After entering the fourth ring, Shang Xin spoke, but this was the one who nagged.
"I also know what is going on internationally. It is not a matter of right and wrong, but it is not so easy to figure it out when it comes to specific people. ”
He looked at Xia Ming meaningfully: "I have a feeling that there will be more such things pestering you in the future, and I really want to be your brother-in-law." I'm going to be under a lot of pressure. ”
Xia Ming also said seriously: "The future is not clear, but no matter what changes, Xiao Huan is the person I can protect with everything, including my life." ”
"I'm too lazy to care about your business", Shang Xin didn't overdo it: "In short, if you make Xiao Huan unhappy, I will make you unhappy!" ”
So, just be happy, right?
Back at the research institute, Xia Ming and Xiaotang vented their bitterness.
"It's the happiest thing to get this thing, everything else is a subsection, why bother so much?"
Xiaotang said so. She was happily walking around the test bench analyzing the material of the thing.
Xia Ming hugged his arms, stared at Qianyan, and muttered, "Okay, in order to keep you happy, it's worth it for me to swallow these bitter waters." ”
"I don't know what is going on in your head, but I feel a sense of unwillingness to be bound by something......"
Xiaotang leaned over, his eyes shining.
"Judging from the current situation, it's not difficult to guess what you think", Xiaotang hugged him unexpectedly.
She pecked Xia Ming like a dragonfly and whispered, "Don't forget, where does our true strength come from......"
Xia Ming's mood was much better, and he looked at Qianyan in front of him and nodded heavily.
"Let's get Chiyan out as soon as possible, I have too many projects and need an omniscient assistant to help me! For example, this one! If its secrets are cracked, human material technology will advance by ten years! ”
Xiaotang began to tinker with the materials again, and she knocked on the silver-white shell and said, "The structure of this thing is very strange, it reminds me of a science fiction story that my father told me when I was a child, which was written by us Chinese people in the seventies and eighties." ”
"It's really just a scientific idea, that scientists make a net of wire, soak it in seawater, and then use electricity, and after one night, they build an island, and the material is as strong as a coral reef, reproducing the magic of nature!"
"More than 10 years ago, Americans discovered that it was really possible to use metal pipes to adsorb magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate into seawater to form a material similar to coral reefs, but it was not so exaggerated."
Xia Ming frowned: "Could it be ......?"
"That's right!" Xiaotang said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Under the electron microscope, it can be seen that this material has a skeleton and filler, which is the same as the composition of aerogel at a certain level. The spectrometer showed that the nano-properties on its surface were not coatings, and I deduced that a metallic nanomaterial was mixed with an organic nanomaterial using an aerogel structure. This blend shows no signs of processing, and is most likely made using some kind of 'growth'-like principle. ”
"Talking ...... people"
Xia Ming is not an expert in materials science, so he didn't have a tacit understanding with her just now.
Xiaotang glanced at him: "It means that the technology of this thing is not beyond the ability of human beings, but it only uses principles and processes that we don't know yet, if there is Qianyan to help, I will soon be able to complete its reverse." ”
"You see, the melting point is at least 4,000 degrees, the density is only half of aluminum, and the hardness has not been measured, so it is speculated that it is not lower than that of high-strength steel alloys. For aerospace, fire and bulletproof, and countless other industries, it's a coveted material! ”
The more Xiaotang said, the more excited he became: "When I analyze the element ratio of the material, if Qianyan can collect all the processing processes related to these elements, as well as all the relevant test data, and even help me do some simulation and inference in the general direction, I can do it alone within this year, and then hand it over to a team to do mass production process research, no more than three years, and it can be put into practice!" ”
Are you really hooked on this? What to do with the ball?
Xiaotang spread his hands: "I suggest that you still collect three dragon balls, oh, three parts, and then move it." ”
Xia Ming had to agree, this thing is very important, so it is better to wait for the three parts to be complete before pondering.
As for the expectation of Qianyan, Xiaotang has mentioned it more than once. Even if Qianyan can't become the kind of scientific research assistant that Professor Xu envisioned, if it is just a knowledge base and expert system, it can greatly improve the efficiency of scientific research.
However, Qianyan is not a silicon-based computer, but a carbon-based computer, and it is not easier to start with a knowledge base and expert system than to directly adjust it to have intelligence.
So how do you train it......
Xia Ming was looking at Qianyan II in a daze, Li Diluo called, complained that he didn't go on vacation with him, and after missing out on a big thing, he asked him if he was free to host the Clover Architecture press conference next week.
Although the military in Seychelles protected him, he couldn't run out and slap the other side in the face right away, and it was easy to deviate from the rhythm, and the clover structure was not so important, so Xia Ming refused.
But there is one more thing Li Diluo said, and he must come forward.
Google's CEO Chopwood, and DeepMind's CEO Hasabis will come to China on the weekend, and Cicada has communicated with Google, and will arrange a dialogue between Xia Ming and Hasabis, which is not public.
Xia Ming felt that he might be able to get some inspiration from Hasabis, who had admired this big man for a long time. (To be continued.) )
