God of Rebirth Trader
Chapter 430: Unexpected
During lunch, Chen Weidong and Director Gu, the general of the general assembly, were eating in a small cubicle. Director Gu asked bluntly: "Mr. Chen, let me ask you a question. I hope you can answer it truthfully: Your
Is this aerospace plane feasible?"
"Of course it works!"
Chen Weidong said with an aggrieved look: "What we should say has been explained to you. If you don't believe it, wouldn't you ask those experts?"
The general took a sip of wine depressedly and sighed: "Xiao Chen, we should have believed in you and hoped that you could succeed, but those experts said it was impossible. How can we make a decision?"
"An aerospace plane starts with a few billion, and the research and development costs are bottomless. It could be in the hundreds or hundreds of billions. Your project has no merit at all. How can we make a report and approve the funding for you?"
"Who said we don't have a spectrum? We have done all the theoretical research and obtained relevant technical reserves. Although we have not yet made a prototype, but..."
"good--!"
The general interrupted Chen Weidong and made a decision directly: "Just bring out a prototype! As long as the prototype passes actual testing and is indeed feasible, we will have reason to apply for funding for you!"
"Prototype?" Chen Weidong looked confused and seemed very embarrassed.
Seeing his expression, the general sighed in his heart, and became even less hopeful about Infinite Company's aerospace aircraft project. He forced himself to say: "Xiao Chen, although we believe in your company, there is no basis for what you say.
Even if you want to get the support of the country, you have to come up with a prototype, right?"
Chen Weidong held the wine glass in his right hand and turned it gently without speaking.
The general stopped trying to persuade him, and drank and ate with a sullen face. After a while, he said quietly: "It has been so difficult for us along the way. We even dream of owning an aerospace plane!"
"You don't know, yesterday I heard Director Gu report to me that you might have developed an aerospace plane. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, and kept giggling, which scared everyone in my family.
I thought I was hysterical!"
He took one mouthful after another, laughing to himself.
Director Gu went out to use the bathroom, and when he came back, his face looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Weidong made a guess and asked knowingly.
Director Gu sat down and didn't say anything. He just picked up the food. After a while, he picked up the 48-degree Wuliangye on the table, took a few sips, and put it on the table: "Afternoon report."
If you do, there’s no need to open it, everyone will leave.”
"Damn it! Even the people from our Science and Technology Committee are gone. It's completely unorganized and undisciplined!"
He just lost his temper behind his back.
These people are priceless treasures of the country. Not only are they directors, but also directors and higher-level leaders, they are always polite when they see them.
This time, rather than giving him face and attending this briefing, I wanted to see what Infinity Company had done.
Now that we know that Infinite Company is fooling people, we naturally have no interest in staying any longer.
It’s nothing unusual to say goodbye without saying goodbye during lunch time.
Chen Weidong looked like he was trying to cheer up and said: "Forget it, just leave! We still have to show the real guy in everything. When we have the real guy, everything will be easy to talk about."
Director Gu and the general in charge of the general assembly saw his pretending indifference and sighed inwardly.
"Yes, that's the truth!"
Director Gu patted Chen Weidong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't your Infinite Company have a server storage base in the mountainous area of Qiannan? It covers a large area, so let's test it there first."
"It only succeeded. We at the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will definitely support it!"
The general also forced a smile: "It doesn't have to be completely successful, as long as there is a possibility, we dare to invest heavily! Xiao Chen, work hard! I will send someone to notify you and increase the security for you to ensure that your experiment goes smoothly!"
Chen Weidong looked extremely moved and kept nodding his head, and then said resolutely: "Please rest assured, two leaders, our company will definitely build an aerospace aircraft even if it is a waste of money! We will not give up until we achieve our goal!"
He clenched his fist tightly.
Director Gu and the general looked at each other and smiled when they saw that he finally cheered up.
They tried their best to comfort Chen Weidong, fearing that this young prodigy who had never suffered a setback since his debut would lose his fighting spirit.
But to be honest, after realizing that Infinite Company's aerospace plane development plan was probably just an idea on paper, it was the two of them who were most disappointed.
In 1982, the United States proposed a space-based weapon system based on the missile defense plan.
The plan clearly proposes to deploy twenty-four giant satellites in space more than a thousand kilometers away. Each satellite is composed of a chemical laser generator of hundreds of megawatts and a ten-meter reflector.
Using continuous irradiation, ballistic missiles within a range of 5,000 kilometers centered on the satellite can be destroyed within two to four seconds.
Although it is said that the Star Wars plan was proposed by the old President Reagan as a means of military competition to bring down the Soviet economy.
But in order to protect its own security and have stronger confidence, the United States is indeed moving in this direction and has never stopped for more than two decades.
As early as the late 1980s and early 1990s, laser satellite system-related technologies had been verified.
The "Alpha Laser System" carried by the satellite was developed in the 1980s and underwent light emission testing in the early 1990s.
By 1998, it had reached the megawatt level required for actual combat.
In 2002, the United States conducted three megawatt-level ground tests and integration tests of the targeting system, all of which met the expected design requirements.
The successfully developed laser system can continuously fire for 700 to 800 seconds, and each satellite can destroy more than 200 ballistic missiles on average.
It can be said that at this stage, the United States' satellite space-based laser system has been actually completed and is just about to be launched into space!
However, once it was actually developed, the Americans were not in a hurry.
Because in the 21st century, after the war in Iraq started, they suddenly discovered that at this moment, no country in the world could threaten their status.
With each satellite weighing 35 tons, just launching a complete satellite system into space is an extremely huge expense.
Relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective for the United States to promote its Patriot missile system and push anti-missile bases outward from the ground to induce other countries to pay for anti-missile systems.
After all, the United States has suffered serious economic losses because of the Iraq war.
It is really difficult for them to squeeze out their budget and launch dozens of laser satellites that are temporarily useless.
Therefore, on the one hand, the United States strengthened the improvement of space-based laser systems and formulated an emergency space-based satellite launch plan. On the other hand, it only paid 1.3 billion US dollars to TRW and Lockheed Martin to develop them.
A one-third-size test satellite for actual verification in space.
Of course, these actions taken by the United States cannot be hidden from the world's major powers.
Although intelligence personnel from various countries cannot obtain any technical details about the specific progress of the U.S. project, they still know what the other party is doing and to what extent.
