The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master

Xing Muchun was born in the rocket industry, so he knew some of the twists and turns here.

He soon realized that his previous thoughts were a bit off---

Although there is competition in many fields between the east and west ends of the Pacific Ocean, as two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, they still have to maintain a superficial situation of fighting but not breaking.

Therefore, for example, NASA and the China Space Agency, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Military Commission, there are similar "hotline" communication channels set up between counterpart agencies.

Therefore, Xing Muchun subconsciously thought at first that Chang Haonan was talking about notifying the United States of the news through this channel.

Unexpectedly, the latter was completely thinking of laying mines for the other side.

It can only be said that the aerospace system and the military industry system have some differences in thinking...

"You mean... announcing this news publicly?"

"Of course."

Chang Haonan immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"But..."

Out of professional habit, although Xing Muchun understood the other party's purpose, he still felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

But the other end of the receiver quickly continued:

"In fact, according to my original intention, I also hope to resolve the possible crisis through communication and cooperation... But you just said that even if we convey the relevant risks through private channels, the other party will not stop. In this case, why not take advantage of the other party's mentality..."

Xing Muchun was stunned.

He hasn't figured out the feasibility of the other party's plan yet, how come in the blink of an eye, it seems that he has led Mr. Chang astray?

Finally decided to change the subject:

"Ahem... If it is an open channel, it is not difficult to handle."

"I heard this morning that after NASA held a press conference yesterday, many media immediately called our National Space Administration to ask our views on this matter. I guess the next time we hold a press conference, there will definitely be reporters asking questions, and we can find an opportunity to expose it at that time."

But this time, Chang Haonan did not respond immediately.

After about half a minute, he spoke again:

"I tend not to let the Space Administration get deeply involved in this matter... It's best for the Ministry of National Defense to come forward."

"Hmm?"

Xing Muchun, who was about to screw the pen cap on, paused, and then quickly wrote down this sentence on paper.

But looking at his movements, he was still a little hesitant:

"But Mr. Chang, this situation generally follows the principle of reciprocity, and if it is announced by the military propaganda agency... It will inevitably involve the sensitive issue of space militarization, and the superiors..."

As an experienced deputy chief engineer, Xing Muchun also considers the problem quite comprehensively.

However, he does not understand the background of some things.

And Chang Haonan was really inconvenient to say it clearly, so he had to speak in an imperative tone first.

"Don't worry about this, just report it as I said just now... I am at least 90% sure that the superiors will agree."

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Xing Muchun stopped asking and immediately expressed his opinion.

After the successful test launch of the hypersonic verification missile, Chang Haonan's reputation in the entire project team has reached its peak.

Many times, even without explanation, you can convince the other party 100%.

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he turned and left the study.

In the kitchen downstairs, Yao Mengna was wearing an apron and preparing breakfast (lunch).

The nature of her work was similar to Chang Haonan's. In the past, she rarely went into the kitchen. Although it can be seen that she had learned it, she was still in a hurry due to lack of experience.

When the latter came to the kitchen door, he happened to see his newlywed wife cracking two eggs into the pot, and then subconsciously dodged the splashing oil.

Chang Haonan was amused by the other party's slightly clumsy movements, and then rolled up his sleeves and walked in.

As a result, he was bumped into by the senior sister who took two steps back.

"Have you finished the call?"

Yao Mengna did not look back, and focused on the fried egg in front of her that was being formed.

"Well, I may have to write a written opinion later, but there is no rush for this..."

Chang Haonan said and came to the stove, ready to take the chopsticks from the other party.

But Yao Mengna was obviously not ready to give up:

"What are you doing..."

Chang Haonan patted his senior sister on the shoulder:

"Go cut some vegetables. It would be ugly if your hands get burned..."

The latter pouted and walked to the other side of the U-shaped stove as he was told.

Whether it was intentional or not, at the moment of turning around, the full moon behind him gently touched Chang Haonan's lower abdomen...

...

On the other side, according to Chang Haonan's instructions, Xing Muchun almost finished a report overnight.

Although there was no time to calculate the results in detail, he still listed in detail the anti-satellite tests conducted by China, the United States and the Soviet Union in the past few decades from an experience perspective to illustrate the risks involved.

In the end, it was concluded that even if the other party's interception behavior could not be prevented, it should be based on international morality and responsibility to give countries around the world a shot in advance.

The next morning, the report was handed over to the external liaison department.

Although he was also a senior designer of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, he did not have the special authority like Chang Haonan to write materials directly to the emperor.

However, this matter is indeed of great importance, so after being reported step by step, it was sent to the highest decision-making level by Li Zhongyi.

But before the chief even opened the cover of the folder, he asked directly:

"I guess... the content in this report should be Comrade Haonan's intention, right?"

Before entering this time, Li Zhongyi had anticipated many questions that he might be asked.

But I didn't expect it to unfold like this.

So much so that I didn’t know how to answer for a while:

"this……"

Fortunately, he responded quickly:

"The report itself is signed by the hypersonic weapon research project team as a whole. The meaning in it... does have some characteristics of Academician Chang, but judging from the way of writing, it is obviously the style of the Rocket Research Institute, so it should be "

The chief just asked casually, so he didn't dwell on it too much. He put on his glasses and said with a smile:

"This wedding leave has only lasted for less than ten days... He can't sit still."

Then open the report and read to the end at the speed of ten lines at a glance.

I only stayed on the last two pages for a relatively long time.

Then, there was a long silence.

It wasn't until Li Zhongyi felt a little out of breath that the leader raised his head again:

"Let's do it this way... You tell the space agency not to respond directly to this matter for the time being. After the military holds a press conference next week, we will inform NASA of our attitude and attitude as usual. remind."

"I still have to do face-saving work..."

The former immediately stood up and stood at attention:

"yes!"

However, the chief waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down first:

"One more thing."

Li Zhongyi quickly sat down again, pretending to be waiting for instruction.

"How are the preparations for Aerospace Science and Industry's Kinetic-1 anti-satellite weapon being prepared?"

Although he was confused by this sudden question, he quickly answered:

"The orbit design and interception control system have been completed. The interception warhead and new solid rocket motor are still in the final testing stage. If everything goes well, it is expected to be launched from the second half of this year to the beginning of next year."

"Um……"

The chief nodded with satisfaction, but then changed the subject:

"The Kinetic Energy 1 project is, of course, mainly responsible for the research and development needs of the interception warhead. There may be a relatively large adjustment after the US anti-satellite test. Regarding this, you need to give the R\u0026D personnel a preventive injection."

Li Zhongyi suddenly looked shocked when he heard this instruction.

But the discipline he had developed over a long period of time still prevented him from really asking.

But this time, the chief took the initiative to explain:

"The hidden meaning of this report is to create a good public opinion space for our anti-satellite testing..."

"..."

Li Zhongyi frowned at first, and then finally showed a look of understanding:

"Understood……"

"It seems like Academician Chang's behavior is really..."
