Great Power Technology

On March 18, 20xx, the engine ground test countdown was 72 hours.

The engine assembly has been completed and is about to begin hoisting onto the stage. At this point in time, the sedan project team held a simple but important meeting.

It was decided at the meeting to declassify the sedan project to a limited extent.

The decision to declassify was finally reached after multiple communications between the intelligence working group and the technical group. The factors considered mainly include three points:

The first point is that as the engine test run begins, the difficulty of confidentiality has further increased, and no matter how much effort is invested, it is basically impossible to guarantee that the secret will not be leaked at all. Instead, some leaked wrong information may lead to other unforeseen adverse consequences.

The second point is that the engine has been completely assembled. According to the judgment of the decision-making members and leadership team members of the project team, the possibility of the results of this project being damaged again has been greatly reduced, and the results have been initially anchored.

The third point is that cooperation negotiations with the two countries are ongoing, and we need to present some results to promote the negotiation process and actively promote the subsequent Nantianmen project.

Based on these three points, the project team finally made the decision to partially declassify.

The so-called partial declassification actually means downgrading the project from top secret to declassification. Some text information that does not involve numbers can be revealed, and the overall progress of the project can be revealed, but dissemination in the form of pictures, videos, etc. is not allowed.

After the decision was made, the official media released news about the progress of the project that day, and the factory also declassified it internally. Closed management was not cancelled, but all project participants were informed of the true nature of the project through a collective meeting. content.

After this meeting, the factory area fell into a general and widespread atmosphere of joy. After dinner, if you casually take a walk in the open space of the closed area of ​​​​the project, you can meet people discussing in groups.

Wang Hu is also a member of this discussion.

After being so angry about half a million on the Internet, he had been holding back a lot of energy in his heart, always thinking that if he had to do more work and take out what they were working on earlier, he might be able to Those people's faces were swollen.

He is a pure Northeastern person and does not have a high level of education. If you ask him to talk about some lofty ideals and ambitions, he will not be able to say it. But every time he chats with his coworkers, he will say:

"Don't worry about what people outside say about us. Just know that what we are doing is definitely a big thing. Work hard, and when the work is done, we will produce the results and beat those people!"

And now, more than half of his ideas have been realized.

As soon as the meeting to announce the decryption of the sedan project was held, he immediately ran home and told his wife. Then he quickly opened the door and found the workers who had gathered together, chatting enthusiastically.

At this time, he was bragging about his foresight with great joy, and the expression on his face was full of pride.

"I told you we were doing something big, but you still don't believe it! What now? The sedan chair project! Do you know what the sedan chair is? It's a sub-project of the Nantianmen project, and it's about building big engines!"

"I can't believe it! I can't believe that I, Old Wang, will be able to do such a big thing in my life! Hey, do you know? I milled all the bearings in the engine! I have inquired with Mr. Zhao, that is the key Components will need to be signed electronically in the future!”

"Whenever the time comes and you need repairs or maintenance, you have to come to me! Do you know what that means? I am the first responsible person!"

The workers on the side echoed his words kindly, and one of them said jokingly:

"Old Wang, don't be too happy too early. From now on, maintenance will be done to you. If there is a problem, we will also look to you. Aren't you afraid?"

Wang Hu waved his hand generously and replied:

"What's so scary about that! Let me tell you, I can't find a single defective thing out of a thousand of the things that my hands have milled, let alone when I did this work, it was very thin!"

"Really, if you don't believe me, ask Mr. Zhao. He has told me before that the work I do has the lowest tolerance rate!"

"Taking a step back, even if something really goes wrong, just call me! If it's a big deal, I'll repair it! Our engine needs to be tested before it goes to space. There are tens of thousands of parts that will inevitably go wrong. Can't we let people Rework? As long as you let me rework, I can assure you that the same problem will never happen again!"

The workers around him nodded repeatedly. In fact, their thoughts were not the same as Wang Hu's.

Although they are just ordinary workers, they are proud of their craftsmanship.

This kind of self-esteem is just like a swordsman cherishing his swordsmanship and a scholar cherishing his pen.

A few people chatted for a while, and suddenly someone asked:

"I heard that our trial run is in three days' time? Do you think we need to make some preparations in advance?"

"Of course I have to make preparations in advance! Are we just going to watch these three days? I have all the tools and everything ready, and my hands have been trained. If there is any problem, I will answer it immediately. Don't waste a minute!"

"Hey, I'm not talking about this kind of preparation. What I mean is that this is the first time we have embarked on such a big project, and it is also the first test run. There is always a bit of luck involved."

"How about we also burn incense sticks and pay our respects?"

After hearing this, Wang Hu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He had heard of such rituals before, including pouring champagne before a ship was launched into the water and passing through a water gate before a plane took off. But an engine test?

Do you still need to burn incense?

Not quite right.

After all, he has been working at Liming Factory for a long time, and he has long been immersed in the concept of materialism based on logic. Although he respects some traditional things, he always feels something is wrong when it comes to the sedan project.

You can't hit it with eight poles.

He opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

He really hoped that the engine he had personally participated in building would become famous in one battle.

What if, that is to say, just in case, worship would really be useful?

Even if it's useless, there seems to be nothing wrong with having something to put your mind at ease, right?

Thinking of this, he said:

"I think it's okay to worship, but who should we worship? You can't worship the Baojiaxian, right? If the Baojiaxian can protect it, I'll feed it three big pig's trotters a day!"

After listening to his words, the worker who made the suggestion before smiled and replied:

"Why do you want to pay homage to the Baojiaxian? I mean, pay homage to our ancestors."

"What ancestor do you want to worship?"

"That's a lot, Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zhao Yiman. When the time comes, we will burn incense and paper together. Whoever you remember in your heart should be considered as worshiping."

Wang Hu nodded and responded silently.

Whoever you remember in your heart is the one you worship.

I just hope that they can really see it.

I hope they can bless our project and ensure it goes smoothly.

A few hours later, at midnight, a burst of fire lit up in the closed area of ​​​​the Liming Factory project.

The people from the Security Department immediately went to check and found that Wang Hu and his group were burning the paper. They temporarily detained them and reported them to the Intelligence Department.

Ye Zhou was having a meeting with Chen Hao and others in the Intelligence Department office at this time. After hearing the news, he directly gave an order to the Security Department to release the people.

Chen Hao on the side looked at Ye Zhou with interest. After the people from the security office left, he asked:

"You're a bit weird. As a scientific researcher, you're not angry when you see someone engaging in feudal superstition in your territory?"

Ye Zhou smiled and shook his head and replied:

"This kind of thing, from my materialist point of view, is definitely useless, but from the perspective of modern psychology, ritual actions like this can indeed bring people Some psychological comfort.”

"We have been busy for more than half a year, and the workers are very tired. Suddenly they know what they are doing, and suddenly know that the project is about to succeed. It is normal to have some fluctuations in their hearts and emotions. They must be given a vent. "

"Besides, I actually don't think this is a superstitious activity. Didn't you just listen to what the security guard said? Those people like Wang Hu burned paper not to give to ghosts and ghosts, but to their ancestors."

"Burning paper money for ancestors cannot be regarded as superstition. It can only be said to be a kind of memory and respect for the predecessors, ancestors and history. Otherwise, why do we still have Qingming Festival?"

"This is a very simple feeling. In the final analysis, I just hope that what I have, my ancestors can also have."
