Chapter 147 Huge shadow

Just as Ye Zhou rested in the office for a while, Chen Hao came with his superior's order. He came to inform Ye Zhou to attend an emergency meeting, and the theme of the meeting was the coping strategy for the Navigator project.

"Is it open now? Who are the participants?"

Ye Zhou frowned and asked.

The time has come to 9 o'clock in the evening. It seems a bit too hasty to hold this type of meeting at this time.

After all, the action against the navigator cannot be completed overnight. If you pursue speed too much, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

Hearing his words, Chen Hao explained:

"Now, the participants are only you, me, the chief officers of several intelligence departments, and one of the leaders above. Today is not a detailed discussion, but a direction discussion. We will determine which directions to start from later. It is convenient to form a mission order and issue it to each specific department to refine it.”

"It won't be long, about half an hour or so."

Ye Zhou nodded, stood up and continued to ask:
"Is there an agenda? How to discuss it?"

"No, internal meeting, free play."

"...Okay, let's go first and talk about it later."

The two left Ye Zhou's office one after the other. Under the leadership of Chen Hao, they entered a hidden video conference room inside Liming Factory. As soon as they walked in, Ye Zhou saw a man in military uniform on the always-on screen. , the man with the star emblem.

He froze for a moment, but finally did not call out the other party's name.

But the other party spoke before him.

"Ye Zhou, hello."

"Hello, leader."

Ye Zhou responded calmly.

This is his first direct contact with high-level leaders. It is impossible to say that he is not a little nervous, but now he is much more mature than when he just got Yinglong EDA, so he will not put himself Emotions are exposed on the face.

The star emblem man on the screen smiled and continued:

"The two of us have actually met more than once in various ways, but this is the first time we have met directly like this. How is it? Do you have any special feelings?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, then answered:

"Actually, I don't have much feeling. The main thing is that this time it's on the video. If I can meet face to face one day, maybe the feeling will be stronger."

"Hahahaha, your answer is a bit beyond my expectation, but it's pretty good, with a youthful spirit. In fact, I have read a lot of your materials, and I have also learned a lot about what you do from the side, but I have always I look forward to the day when I have direct contact with you, because I want to see what kind of person you really are."

"Ye Zhou, to tell you the truth, we old men have worried a lot about you because of you before, worried that you would not be loyal, worried that you would not be firm, but gradually, these worries have lessened, and we have begun to worry about you. You are in good health."

"Look, we made a fitness plan for you recently, did Chen Hao tell you?"

Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then replied:
"To be honest, I hope he will never tell me about the leadership. I'm only 23."

"The body is the capital of the revolution. Let alone 23, I'm 63. Don't I still have to exercise? Forget it, let's not go too far today. Let's finish early and let you go back to rest. Let's get to the point."

The voice of the man from Xinghui fell, and the pleasantries between the two of them for the first time came to an abrupt end. Ye Zhou sat down on his seat and asked directly:
"Now do we have a clear judgment on the background of the Navigator?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's question, an intelligence system supervisor sitting next to Chen Hao replied:

"Yes. We have basically figured out their background. They are backed by NASA and the National Strategic Analysis Office. The main strategic intention is to consume the basic strength of domestic aviation and aerospace research and development through talent competition and scientific research resource competition."

"Now their plan has only reached a stage, and they haven't really shown their fangs yet, but only at this stage, they have actually achieved a lot."

"At least for now, it seems that they have indeed absorbed a large number of cutting-edge talents from us. Once these talents have entered the Navigator project, it will be a difficult decision for us whether to use them or not."

"In addition, 60% of their current research and development topics focus on the upstream fields of aero-engines, including high-temperature resistant materials, finishing processes, thermodynamic structure optimization, aerodynamic structure optimization, etc. These fields will generate a large number of patents, and Participants must meet their conditions if they want to obtain patent ownership."

"So, we can preliminarily judge that their binding on talents is based on strong interests. Unless we can offer a price that is several times higher, it will be basically difficult to attract back the talents who have fallen to them."

"To sum it up in a simple concept, what they are implementing this time is a 'paper clip' plan for subdivided fields, which is very ambitious and has already been successfully practiced. It is not easy to deal with it."

After listening to the other party's words, Ye Zhou frowned.

The so-called Paperclip Project refers to a special operation implemented by the Ugly country after World War II to absorb 1600 Chinese scientists, engineers and technicians. This action accelerated the transfer of the world science center to the Ugly country. In the past few years, in order to tap talents from all over the world, Ugly Country has amended its immigration laws many times, giving priority to allowing professional "elites" to enter Ugly Country.

Huaxia is also one of the victims of the paper clip project. In recent years, due to the increase in investment in scientific research and the gradual reversal of the public opinion environment, the brain drain has eased, but the other party's methods have also become more refined.

The Navigator project is a typical representative.

For subdivided fields, formulate separate strategies to ensure the maximum attraction to talents, and then change the buttocks of those professionals who are attracted to them through benefits, so that they are completely bound to Ugly Country.

This is a set of combined punches. If they are really allowed to finish the fight, Huaxia's aviation industry may really suffer a serious blow.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou continued to ask:
"Do we have any coping strategies now?"

The intelligence chief opened the document in his hand and handed it to Ye Zhou. There were a few key points written on it. Ye Zhou listened to the other party's introduction while reading it.

"At present, there are mainly three directions."

"First, we must strengthen publicity to expose the other party's intentions; second, we must improve the treatment of existing scientific research scholars; third, we will use some special means to suppress the other party's actions in our country."

"Now we still have one direction, and that is technical."

"Ye Gong, you know, for these scientific researchers, advanced technology is attractive. If we can disclose some advanced technology to the public, it can attract a group of less determined scholars to come back to us to a large extent. .”

Ye Zhou nodded, looked at the star emblem man on the screen and asked:
"Leader, how determined are we?"

The star emblem man pondered for a moment, then answered:

"The upper limit is two five years."

Hearing the other party's answer, Ye Zhou understood.

Two five years, that means that when they deal with the threat of the navigator project this time, they can overdraw at most the resources invested in the aviation field in the next two five years.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact, the range that can be maneuvered is still limited.

Then, based on this situation, it is impossible for them to use the strategy regardless of cost drastically.

It must be as refined as the enemy.
-
Or, just look further afield.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou said:
"Today we are discussing the overall direction, and we don't need to discuss the details of the specific strategy, so I will just put forward some of my personal views here --- the general direction."

Pausing for a moment, Ye Zhou actively activated the "Decision Maker" talent, and began to output his decision-making opinions based on the existing conditions.

"First of all, I think that their main attack on us in terms of public opinion will be the degree of preferential treatment and selection of talents, so we have to make preparations from this aspect."

"As far as I know, there was a personnel cleanup before the launch of the sedan chair project. A large number of engineers with less clean backgrounds were left unused. We need to make preparations for this issue."

"The second point is about the economy. Now our project is not bad for the top engineers, but the investment in the middle and grassroots fields is insufficient. This is also a problem that my Sanchi Research Institute is trying to change."

"My suggestion is to keep the top level unchanged, overdraft future resources, and greatly improve the treatment of middle-level and grass-roots researchers, so that they can at least reach the international average level. Moreover, this policy should be released as quickly as possible, so as to support the battlefield of public opinion .”

"The third point is that the Navigator must not maintain a physical organization in the country. The research base in Hong Kong City must be cancelled. At the same time, certain restrictions must be placed on the convenience of domestic researchers going abroad to participate in the Navigator project. The specific strategy is up to you to implement."

"The last point is technical. We need a successful project to boost the technological confidence in the domestic aviation sector. The deterrent effect of the sedan chair project is not enough. We need something more advanced."

"This thing must focus on the future, the future 50 or even 100 years later, and at the same time, let researchers clearly feel the hope of its success."

"Here, I have two plans."

"The first set, the non-working fluid plasma engine plan, is mainly used in the aerospace field. It will have an effect on retaining aviation talents, but the effect may be limited. The advantage of this plan is that it is effective quickly and the span is relatively small."

"The second plan, the Nantianmen plan."

"The Nantianmen plan is the aerospace aircraft carrier plan. It needs to rely on super-thrust aviation nuclear energy engines, super-large-scale virtual test and design systems, strong artificial intelligence assistance, and cross-age materials technology. In this plan, there will be Numerous derivative results continue to attract talents."

"However, this plan also has disadvantages, that is, it takes too long to form the final result. I conservatively estimate that it will take more than 40 years. During these 40 years, we must put an end to all eagerness for success and maintain a balanced resource consumption. Otherwise, this Big plans will drag us down the abyss."

Having said that, Ye Zhou stopped to take a sip of water, and the star emblem man on the screen asked right away:

"Is it possible for us to start these two sets of plans? After all, if it is only in theory, the attraction to talents is very weak."

His eyes were full of anticipation. From previous experiences, he probably guessed that as long as Ye Zhou said it, he must be sure.

As expected, Ye Zhou put down his cup and replied firmly:

"Yes. It can be activated."

The star emblem man nodded and continued to ask:
"If we decide to implement the Nantianmen plan, how many of the activation conditions you mentioned, how many do we have?"

Ye Zhou smiled, and now he has directly omitted the stage of asking the bottom line in his communication with the official, and entered the simplest and rude question and answer.

How many do we have, which means, how many do you have.

No matter where you pulled it out from, there is, just fine.

Ye Zhou looked at the star emblem man on the screen, and replied firmly:
"Except for strong artificial intelligence, all other conditions are met. And, give me sufficient support, strong artificial intelligence will be available soon—of course, this will be very soon, and I mean about 20 years."

The strong artificial intelligence obtained by Ye Zhou is based on machine learning. It is currently only an initial program package, and it needs the input and analysis of huge amounts of data to finally become a complete artificial intelligence. Ye Zhou has estimated that such a process will at least It takes 10 years.

The 20 years he is talking about now is a relatively conservative figure.

The star emblem man beckoned to his side, and a secretary walked towards him.

"Report upwards, and the meeting will be escalated. Call the members of the leadership team, and those who can come will come to the scene immediately, and those who can't come will connect online."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Zhou apologetically and said:
"Sorry, I just wanted to have a short meeting today, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid you will have to stay up all night with us old men who can't sleep."

Ye Zhou smiled, and said to Chen Hao next to him:
"In this case, let the cafeteria bring some supper over."

At six o'clock in the morning, the upgraded enlarged meeting finally came to an end. Ye Zhou dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory, still replaying the contents of the meeting in his mind.

In fact, the focus of the discussion in this meeting was not related to him and technical feasibility issues, but how to allocate resources, how to coordinate departments, and how to organize ultra-long-span project operations.

In these respects, he didn't have many discussions to participate in, and even the number of speeches was pitifully small --- the participants in the meeting shrewdly and kindly avoided topics about him, and resolutely refused to touch him. living secret.

However, everyone knew that the real focus of the meeting was this young man who was quietly sitting in the corner of the meeting room and eating supper.

People can't even see his face clearly, but the foundation of all these strategies must be supported by him.

He is the silent spark in the dark, and he is also a hole card that must not be turned over.

And in the strategic analysis office on the other side of the sea, the people who were discussing the details of the navigator plan didn't know what kind of terrifying shadow their little plan would be shrouded in the future.

In the face of such a grand, crazy strategy that carries a huge force that spans time, they carefully crafted the so-called "navigator", just like releasing a paper boat in a ditch, but thinking that they are commanding a huge fleet ridiculous.
