The Goddess Shines on America

Of course Alice noticed Oren's dazed expression, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, just like when everyone entered the room, following the two of them, General Dynamics CEO William Clark and National Security Agency Director Dominic Ford Lyle, came out shoulder to shoulder.

"Oh my God, I'm done with the Ministry of Defense."

He looked at Oren and Alice with a smile: "Then Mr. Lockheed, do you have any plans tonight?"

"I'm afraid it depends on what Alice thinks."

Oren threw the ball to Alice: "Alice, are you interested in going to the bar for a drink? I remember there is one not far from here. Their brandy..."

Alice squinted at him: "... Oren, I'm fifteen."

Everyone laughed lightly. Mr. Clark looked at his watch and was about to leave: "Miss Wang, when you were filming the movie, the drawings you submitted to us were very creative. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future. It's not early Now, I’ll go back to the hotel first, please feel free, everyone.”

After speaking, he walked towards the parking lot.

"Then, Mr. Fryer."

After seeing Clark off, Alice said to Minister Flair, "If you have nothing to do, Oren and I have something to talk about. Look..."

"Understood, you really need a lot of contact."

Of course, Fryer knew that he had become a light bulb, but he still didn't forget to remind: "But Alice, I'm serious, you'd better speed up the research and development of the firewall. Not only the Pentagon needs to be protected, but NAS is also planning to build Internet monitoring system, you are now all of us's sweet potato."

"Intending to introduce new surveillance methods, eh?"

Alice is not surprised by this at all. The biggest difference between the NSA and the CIA is that the former mainly relies on monitoring to comprehensively obtain global secret consultation. From radio in the past to the Internet in the future, the organization's reliance on Cisco could theoretically be very strong.

"Yeah, after all we all need to keep up with the times."

The three passed by and walked on the wide parking lot outside the Pentagon, Fryer replied: "Since there are hackers who will invade the Pentagon, whether they are pranks by civilian experts or official intrusions by the KGB, they will undoubtedly give us some hints." Wake up. As the number of computers around the world continues to increase and the network infrastructure continues to develop, we will definitely have to fight a fierce battle on this invisible network.

"So, since the Pentagon is now preparing shields for itself, as the NSA side, we really need to arm ourselves and put teeth on it."

None of the people present were outsiders. When they passed by a Chevrolet sedan, Flair patted Oren on the shoulder and said: "From a technical point of view, since modern telephones, the Internet, faxes and satellite communications are all transmitted through atmospheric waves Yes, so they are all likely to be monitored. Although Article 18 of our guiding regulations stipulates that without the written permission of the Supreme Court Justice, it is not allowed to monitor and collect information on ordinary citizens and companies, but we must also think about it in reverse... "

"Will other countries set up similar organizations, such as the KGB?"

Oren said with a smile: "Alice, did you hear that, the NSA is preparing a big business for the two of us. Lockheed's satellite launch, as well as Cisco's Internet hardware and software, this kind of monitoring is absolutely indispensable our."

Indeed, that's how the prism door came out.

Of course Alice knew about this prospect, so now, she felt even more slanderous in her heart. Well, although the Prism Gate incident was a spy program during the Bush Jr. era, and has nothing to do with the current President Reagan and Dominic Fryer, in general, it was the NSA department that caused Cisco to suffer miserably. of.

The entire Chinese market, once Cisco withdraws, it will be completely given to Huawei and TP-Link!

Flair's meaning was also simple, he clearly wanted Alice to get involved now.

"Hehe, if there is a large order of business to do, of course it would be great."

Saying so, Alice has already quickened her pace, and stopped right in front of a Lincoln car: "Oh, yes, Mr. Fryer, just like what you said just now, Oren and I It is very necessary to have a good communication, you see...?"

There is no doubt that this Lincoln was driven by Oren, who had memorized the license plate number when Alice first met him at the governor's party in North Carolina.

"Oh, no problem, no problem."

Knowing that the topic should be over, Fryer nodded and said with a smile: "I should go home early, Marianne asked me on the pager if I worked overtime, then, goodbye."

Waving his hand, the middle-aged man walked away with brisk steps.

"Hey...they all have cars, I'm really envious of me."

Watching Flair walking towards the car in the distance, Alice said flatly, "I still have to wait another year to get a driver's license."

"But it's only been a year, Alice, have you decided what to buy for your first car?"

Oren opened the car door very gentlemanly. He came to Washington alone, so he didn't have a driver to accompany him: "Let me guess, a Porsche convertible sports car?"

"That would be pretty exciting, a sports car or something."

Alice giggled, and got into the passenger seat: "Drive, go to the Hilton Hotel, don't really take me to some bar, or I'll call the police."

Oren had already locked the door of the car and was starting the car. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Alice, my car is equipped with GPS. It is impossible to take you into the ditch."

Alice snorted and looked around at her surroundings.

Well, is it really okay to get into the car of an unfamiliar man in the middle of the night?

Alice looked at herself, fifteen years old. Look at the free driver next to him. Although he is only a graduate student, he is not a high school student after all. Ambiguity or something, at least you have to wait until you are five years old before you can feel it, otherwise it will be the atmosphere of big brother and little sister at most.

Well, that should be it.

Of course, Oren Lockheed would not be so stupid as to be ambiguous at this time, although when Alice opened the car window, a gust of cool wind blew through the ends of her hair, making the girl's fragrance waft to his nostrils.

"Currently, our company is dealing with a big order."

Before the car drove out of the Pentagon parking lot, he couldn't wait to speak: "I don't know if you know that the Pentagon is now launching a research and development program for advanced tactical fighters."

Alice was looking at the figure of the Pentagon outside the window, when she heard this, she immediately turned her head and looked at Oren.

The first thing to be clear is that although Alice accepted the invitation of Oren's "technical consultant" early, she was not in a hurry to participate in any of Lockheed's work; and Lockheed, as the world's top arms dealer, of course They were not in a hurry to ask Alice to help them. So in theory, Alice should belong to the "outsider" until the cooperation treaty with the Pentagon was just concluded.

The Advanced Tactical Fighter Plan, this is information that can be easily investigated after the 21st century, but at this moment, of course she had to pretend to be confused: "Advanced Tactical Fighter? Let me think about it, when did you come up with the idea?"

"The exact date is around June 81."

"The U.S. Air Force was the first to publish a request for information on the Advanced Tactical Fighter," Oren said. Take-off and landing and supersonic cruise. It also includes advanced alloy and composite materials, advanced fly-by-wire flight control system, high-power propulsion system and stealth technology.”

"Then there are rounds of competition and selection. I will explain the specific process to you later. In general, we Lockheed and a company called Northrop Grumman won the bid. In July, after fifty months of demonstration and verification, we each had an aircraft selected, namely YF-22 and YF-23."

"The next step is for the Pentagon to choose the final favorite from these two aircrafts. Now is the beginning of the final stage, and our entire company... is busy."

"YF-22..."

Hearing Oren's words, he muttered in his mouth, but he deleted the initial letter "Y" in his heart. Alice rubbed her lower lip vigorously to suppress the excitement in her heart: "So, you need me to help you?"

"haha, yes."

With a wry smile, Oren nodded and said, "You should also know that the research and development of a cutting-edge weapon is often the result of the cooperation of many companies. This YF-22 is the cooperation between Lockheed, Boeing and General Dynamics. of……"

"General Dynamics?"

"Yes, otherwise, do you think Clark is also joining in the fun?"

Oren refers to the CEO who just showed up and left: "Although you guys had a little business relationship when you made Alien 2, if you really ask you to be a design consultant, he has to see it for himself." You can't."

Seeing Alice nodded, Oren continued: "So, we at Lockheed are mainly responsible for avionics. Programming, Alice, the engineers in our company work every day and night, I'm really exhausted..."

"Yeah, programming~"

Alice laughed thoughtfully. Few people know that Lockheed-Martin writes a lot of software every year, even surpassing Microsoft. Therefore, when some of the company's projects reach a critical moment, a programming master like myself has indeed become a real treasure.

"So Oren, Maryland is not far from here. After tonight, I will go to your company tomorrow morning?"
