The years of red flags

"Son, as a young man, you can't be so sinister." Jiang Hua pointed at Li Yingjie and said, "Your smile is usually only seen by villains in movies, and they are always the kind of villains who betray their comrades."

"What are you thinking? I mean you can help me."

Jiang Hua crossed his legs and took a sip of tea, then asked, "Then tell me, how can I help you?"

"For you, it's just a piece of cake. It's just a matter of spending money."

"It's easy to spend money, but I know a thing or two about materials science. It doesn't mean that spending money will necessarily produce results."

Li Yingjie said: "Indeed, spending money does not necessarily mean results, so we need to cast a wide net and catch more fish. You can offer a sum of money as a reward. All basic material laboratories across the country that can meet our needs can get this reward."

"From what I hear, this amount is not small."

"Then you, the big boss of Huaxing Group, must not be stingy." Li Yingjie raised a finger: "As long as it succeeds, you will cover all the experimental expenses, and then offer a small reward."

"You are like a son selling out his father's land. It's a small goal, nine figures. Do you know how long it will take for our company to make that much?"

Li Yingjie smiled and said: "According to the profitability of our group company, a small goal has been achieved just as we were talking."

"You are right. The group's annual net profit is over 200 billion. A small goal is really not a big deal." Jiang Hua nodded: "After all, you are my godson. I will ask the relevant departments of the group to issue a reward. You should also work hard on your side. As you said, there is no definite path to success. Try more. Maybe there will be another successful path, which will make my small goal not worth spending."

"I want to, too, but godfather, wishful thinking is wishful thinking, don't take it seriously. Nowadays, scientific research is all about burning money. You'd better hope that this money can be spent, which means that it will be one step closer to the successful operation of nuclear fusion."

"Don't think I'm so stingy. It's just money. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Just spend it meaningfully." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Son, you have to speed up the military version of the miniaturized nuclear reactor just now. Our people are looking forward to having a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. As far as I know, the electromagnetic gun designed by Academician Ma is about to be successful. If it can be installed on our destroyers, the deterrent power will be greatly increased. With this nuclear reactor, we don't have to worry about the power supply of the electromagnetic gun."

Li Yingjie asked curiously, "No, I heard that the electromagnetic cannon was invented by an ugly Chinese, and he himself doesn't understand it."

"This thing is indeed a trick by the ugly Chinese. The electromagnetic catapult function on its aircraft carrier is theoretically feasible, but they really don't understand how to use it. They just made it like they did to the former big bear, consuming our national strength and thus achieving their conspiracy to weaken us."

"Yeah, then why don't we join in the fun?"

Jiang Hua shook his head: "You don't understand this. Just because the Chinese can't figure out how to use it doesn't mean we can't figure it out either. Academician Ma has basically realized the function of the electromagnetic gun, and it's very stable, and our electromagnetic catapults will also benefit from it."

"So, the ugly countryman stole the chicken but lost the rice?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Our country's scientific researchers are good at turning decay into magic. In the past, the former big bear had a heavy machine gun, which, according to the introduction in their magazine, was known as the lightest heavy machine gun in the world. We couldn't reach that weight no matter how we copied it. Later, the Type 89 heavy machine gun we designed and manufactured weighed 26 kilograms, but it still made our military workers regret that it was not the lightest in the world." "Then?"

"Then we found out after we came into contact with the big bear that the heavy machine gun of the former big bear weighed 25 kilograms, plus the tripod weighed 16 kilograms, a total of 41 kilograms. Our Type 89 heavy machine gun suddenly became the lightest heavy machine gun in the world."

"It really is a miracle."

Jiang Hua nodded: "I'll tell you another secret. The Ugly Country now has many advanced weapons because their materials are very advanced. Our material researchers have been pursuing them for a lifetime, but can only reach 80% of theirs."

Li Yingjie sighed and said, "This is already a remarkable masterpiece. After all, we were very poor before. Our scientific research predecessors have made great contributions to our advancement to this level today."

"But in fact, the materials of the ugly country are far from as good as they advertise." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Most of their materials are imported from Xiaodongyang, because Xiaodongyang is indeed more advanced in this regard."

"These two countries are in the same boat. What little Japan has is equivalent to what ugly China has. It's not wrong for them to promote it this way."

Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "What I want to tell you is definitely not this. What I want to say is that Xiao Dongyang has tampered with the quality inspection of his materials, and has been falsifying for many years. Their actual data is far from the data in the quality inspection report. We are the older generation of scientists who have caught up, and most of us are more advanced than them."

"Don't the ugly people know? Didn't the little Dongyang get caught for his fraud?"

"It's just because they promote it well." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Little Japan has always promoted its craftsmanship, and made itself look meticulous, as if it was too rigorous, but in fact it's all empty talk. Most industries in this country have a history of fraud for more than 20 years. That's because they promote it well, so the ugly Chinese actually believe them."

"It's unbelievable. Don't the ugly Chinese people test the materials themselves after buying them?"

Jiang Hua shrugged his shoulders: "How would I know? Maybe he's been retested."

"You never noticed anything was wrong?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Maybe they have found out. Maybe the little Japanese have bribed their relevant institutions, and the ugly Chinese testing department will show mercy and let them go."

Li Yingjie frowned and said, "Our country also imports a lot of special materials from Japan. They should have faked them for us, right?"

Jiang Hua smiled cunningly: "That's impossible. As soon as I knew that Xiao Dongyang was cheating, I reported it to the higher-ups. When we buy their materials, we do it based on the actual situation, and they even give us a discount."

"Why?" Li Yingjie said puzzledly: "I still remember that when my father's factory bought machinery and equipment from Xiaodongyang, they had to pay a higher price even though it was outdated." (End of this chapter)
