Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2532 Who can take responsibility? I will!

Yang Xiaotao returned to the Ninth Department with a grim look on his face.

When people he met on the road greeted him, Yang Xiaotao just nodded slightly.

This is totally different from usual.

What is even more puzzling is that Yang Bu came when it was almost time to get off work. Shouldn't he have gone straight home?

Of course, those who have this idea dare not let Yang Bu know.

However, some people have already wondered in their hearts who had provoked the good-tempered Yang Bu?

Yang Xiaotao walked all the way to Li Hongfeng's office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin sitting on chairs drinking tea with indifferent expressions.

Yang Xiaotao conveyed the content of the meeting as soon as he came back in the morning.

The two were naturally very happy when they heard the news of their superiors' support.

At the same time, I feel much more at ease.

After all, this is a project that has been launched and has the support of the country, so the pressure on them will be much less.

Of course, the pressure will still exist. After all, the money spent has not decreased, but increased.

So there is more they need to do!

Yang Xiaotao walked in, and the two stopped discussing and looked over.

Soon, the two realized something was wrong.

Li Hongfeng asked after watching Yang Xiaotao pick up the cup on the table and drink up the cold water in one gulp.

"What's going on here?"

He came to Yang Xiaotao, picked up the thermos and poured another cup for Yang Xiaotao.

Liu Huaimin also noticed that Yang Xiaotao looked a little strange. "What happened?"

Yang Xiaotao put down the enamel pot and said in a heavy tone, "Something happened at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They want to launch a satellite on the 28th before the New Year."

"For the New Year, congratulations!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Liu Huaimin frowned, feeling angry.

Regarding the satellite phone, they have worked with Yang Xiaotao for so many years and naturally know how much importance Yang Xiaotao attaches to this matter.

Even in order to develop satellite phones, most of the high-purity silicon produced by the Nine Departments was allocated there, even more than that used for the development of electronic computers.

Among them, the one who most wanted the satellite phone to be developed was not Mr. Shu and others who were in charge of research and development, nor was it the leader Mr. Ye, but Yang Xiaotao.

Because of this, when Liu Huaimin heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he became even more furious.

However, Liu Huaimin did not ask directly, but waited for Yang Xiaotao to make a decision.

The same is true for Li Hongfeng. Although he has not been in the Ninth Department for a long time, after spending some time together, he has already gotten to know Yang Xiaotao's character.

The current situation shows that Yang Xiaotao is really serious!

The two of them didn't speak, and Yang Xiaotao was thinking silently.

After a long while, Yang Xiaotao said, "This is a rare opportunity, I don't want to give it up like this."

Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin looked at each other and were not surprised by the answer.

Then Yang Xiaotao said, "I don't know what the future will be like. Maybe the Chinese Academy of Sciences will continue to launch satellites after this, or maybe not."

"This kind of unknown is too risky. If something goes wrong, all our initial investment will go down the drain!"

At this point, Li Hongfeng nodded vigorously.

He understands the investment involved.

Putting aside other things, just talk about the use of high-purity silicon. If we look at the price of manufacturing calculators, the investment here has exceeded six figures.

Of course, these are cost prices.

If these were made into calculators, the profits would be hundreds of times greater.

If this goes to waste, the loss will be too great.

What Li Hongfeng thought of, Liu Huaimin could also think of.

But Liu Huaimin is more worried about the image of his research.

You know, this is an important project of the institute. If it is abandoned like this, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the researchers.

It may even affect the upward momentum of the entire institute.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he waited for their opinions.

"How sure are you?"

Liu Huaimin spoke first, and then added, "If you are not sure, there is no need to fight for it."

"I can only admit defeat and cannot blame anyone else!"

"But if you're sure, do it!"

After saying this, his face looked serious.

As for accidents, so what?

Who dares to say that it must be their problem?
A rocket from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building once fell down. What if there was a problem with your satellite?

Liu Huaimin felt that this was the right way of thinking.

Since you guys are all doing this anyway, can't we just think about it?
After listening to Liu Huaimin's opinion, Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction. This was what he thought.

Then he looked at Li Hongfeng.

"I agree with Lao Liu."

Li Hongfeng didn't say much, but he made his attitude clear.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao felt relieved.

No matter what, the unified voice of the nine departments gave him the confidence to make the decision.

"Since we agree, I feel relieved!"

Yang Xiaotao said gratefully, then angrily, "If we can't make satellites, who would use them?"

"But this is not a big deal. In two years, we will have our own satellite!"

At the end, Yang Xiaotao gritted his teeth and said.

He doesn't know how to design satellites, but there are people who do.

When the time comes, we will go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to recruit people, and then give them money and supplies.

As for the launch, there is no need to worry. Not to mention his father-in-law and Teacher Qian, just based on his relationship with Lao Wang, how could he refuse to help?

When the time comes, just ask Mr. Chen to approve it and your superior to stamp it, and everything will be fine.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was determined to launch his own satellite in the future.

"I'll go to the research institute and talk about it."

Yang Xiaotao came to his senses and walked out.

Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin sent Yang Xiaotao out, and then the two stood at the door for a long time in silence.

It was not until Yang Xiaotao disappeared that Liu Huaimin sighed, "That's it."

"Many things have been like this over the years. We planned everything, but something unexpected happened when the time came."

“It’s hard to do something!”

After listening to Liu Huaimin's emotion, Li Hongfeng nodded and patted his shoulder.

“No matter how difficult it is, we must do it!”

"Who else can we send? They are not as good as us!"

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin also started laughing.

"Yeah, if we don't do it, who else can do it?"

……

Research Institute.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived, many people were preparing to get off work.

Just seeing Yang Xiaotao coming in, some people chose to stop and stay where they were.

When he arrived at the Satellite Phone Research Institute, Yang Xiaotao saw seven or eight people busy inside. He then stopped and stood at the door.

In the research institute, Shu Xingbei was recording data in front of an analyzer.

The two researchers on the side were also nervous. In addition, Yang Xiaotao also saw Mr. Ye who was resting nearby. He also saw him at this time, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hands!

Seeing this, Mr. Ye did not say anything.

After Shu Xingbei finished recording the data, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but he quickly became serious again.

"This time the data is better than last time, and the signal is clearer!"

The two people beside him smiled, and the people who were busy not far away looked at each other and cheered themselves up after hearing it!

"Xiao Wang, prepare for the next step. Pay attention to the frequency and don't make a mistake."

"Understood, teacher!"

Soon, the people in the institute entered the working state, but Yang Xiaotao still stood outside the door, quietly watching everything inside.

His eyes began to blur, and at this moment Yang Xiaotao didn't know what he was thinking.

Scenes flashed through my mind, and then from the courtyard I first came to, those people, those things...

Then to the steel mill, machinery plant, nine...

All the past events passed by before my eyes like a slide show, and then split into two paths in front of me.

One path goes down, into the depths of memory, buried in the heart. Perhaps one day you will suddenly remember it and take it out to reminisce and savor it.

The other one is pointing upwards, which is deeply engraved in my heart and can never be forgotten.

After everything passed by like a flash, Yang Xiaotao looked up and suddenly found a group of people standing at the door.

Instantly, Yang Xiaotao came to his senses. He looked at everyone and looked at his watch.

"Yang Department!"

Shu Xingbei stood aside with a smile on his face.

He had just made arrangements and was about to take a break, but then he saw Yang Xiaotao standing at the door. But when he came over, he discovered that Yang Xiaotao was thinking about something.

So Teacher Shu waited on the side, then Professor Ye came, and later many people from the research institute came over.

"It's so late, is it over?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the situation in the room and realized that the work was still going on, so he smiled and said, "I wanted to wait until you guys finished before going in."

"It seems like it will take a while now, we can't wait any longer!"

Shu Xingbei smiled and said, "It's okay, just come in now!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone. Originally, he only wanted to tell Ye Lao, Shu Xingbei and the others, but when he thought about what he was going to do next, there was no need to hide it.

"Wang Li, Zhao Yan, go and call Dean Han, Wang Kun and the others."

"Just leave!"

The two nodded and left quickly.

After giving the instructions, Yang Xiaotao walked into the research institute.

Mr. Ye and Shu Xingbei on the side noticed that Yang Xiaotao's face looked strange, but they didn't know what was going on.

When Yang Xiaotao came in, he asked, "Master, what is the progress of the satellite phone?"

Mr. Ye had already guessed that Yang Xiaotao would ask, so he smiled and replied, "It's almost done. The transmitter and receiver have been made, and Mr. Shu is making the final switch, and it's now being tested."

Shu Xingbei also said at this time, "Our progress is relatively smooth. Although a lot of materials have been wasted, overall, we will be able to complete it within the first month of the year."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening to this, but didn't say anything and just walked around the research institute.

The others also looked excited.

They all heard that there would be a commendation meeting during this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, the research institute’s projects are recognized separately from those of the factories.

By this calculation, their solar energy project has a good chance of winning the award.

The year before last, the division had not yet taken place, so the advanced collective was given to the Red Star Steel Plant and the United Star Research Institute.

The grand prize, Outstanding Group of the Year, was given to the R&D Department of Red Star Machinery Plant.

But now, after the establishment of these nine departments, the R&D department was directly incorporated into the research institute. In the past two years, there has been little progress in machine tool research, which has also provided opportunities for other research projects.

Otherwise, they might not have the confidence to compete with these guys.

Of course, compared with the Aircraft Research Institute, Computer Research Institute, Ordnance Research Institute, Medical Research Institute, etc., their solar energy is still a little lacking.

But don’t forget, Yang Bu is in their group!

This is something you have to consider.

Everyone thought so, and then watched Yang Xiaotao walking around the research institute. Isn't this one of them? They became extremely excited just thinking about it.

About three to five minutes later, Han Sanfeng came over. Not only that, Liu Xiangdong and others also came to see the situation.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yang Xiaotao walked to the table, leaned against it and glanced at everyone.

"I have something to tell you all!"

After he finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent and turned their eyes to Yang Xiaotao.

"I just went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The superiors issued an order requiring the comrades of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to launch a satellite before the New Year, which is on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"A New Year gift to the motherland."

Yang Xiaotao said softly, this was the result of deep thought.

There is nothing wrong with telling the truth, and it may even unite the people in the institute and boost their morale.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Xiaotao decided to change his way of saying it.

Because the nine ministries and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are not enemies at all. The two sides just have different goals and are not that close.

What's more, I will need their help in the future.

He knew very well that there were many talented people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it would be a shame for his time travel if he didn't take advantage of such an opportunity.

Besides, it’s better to have more friends than more enemies.

We can’t narrow the road!
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone started talking.

Especially Ye Lao and Shu Xingbei frowned tightly, with serious expressions on their faces.

"We agreed to do it after the Lunar New Year, why is it suddenly before the Lunar New Year? This is too dishonest."

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you hear Commander Yang say that this was an order from the higher-ups?"

"I, I just want to complain. The New Year is coming soon. Who can make it in such a short time?"

"Yeah, no wonder Chief Yang came to ask this and that just now, and looked so worried, so this is it!"

"Alas, it's not easy for Yangbu either..."

“It’s not easy for everyone!”

"Stop talking. Just follow Yang's instructions!"

Several people were discussing this, and Yang Xiaotao spoke again at this time, "They have to be sent to the launch site three days in advance for the final inspection before launch."

"That is to say, the time left for us..."

Yang Xiaotao looked down at his watch and said, "There are still six days and seven nights left!"

After saying this, the discussion among the crowd suddenly died down.

Shu Xingbei sighed at this time, "How can we have six days? We have to install it on the satellite after we make it, and we have to take time to test it, this..."

"Three days would be good."

After Shu Xingbei finished speaking, Mr. Ye, who was sitting on a chair beside him, suddenly looked indifferent. After a moment, he looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "Is there no other way?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded helplessly, "This is the only chance before the New Year, after the New Year..."

"It depends on the situation."

Then he walked to the side and sat down, "I talked to Secretary Li and Secretary Liu and the others."

"The three of us are of one mind!"

Having said this, everyone looked over again.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said firmly, "That is, we should seize this opportunity and try to make it and install it before sending it to the launch site."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone opened their mouths wide.

Shu Xingbei looked even more incredulous.

He is a proud man and an arrogant man.

This was also the reason why he was so reserved when he came to the Ninth Department.

But even he didn't dare to say what Yang Xiaotao said.

The more you understand science, the more rigorous you will be in its approach.

So, when I heard Yang Xiaotao say that it would take six days, no, three days to complete the task, my first thought was that Yang Xiaotao didn't understand science.

The second thought was that Yang Xiaotao was crazy.

The room was quiet and no one spoke.

Everyone looked at Mr. Ye, then at Shu Xingbei, then at Han Sanfeng, and then at Yang Xiaotao.

In the end, it was Shu Xingbei who calmly said, "Minister Yang, although I really want to do as I told you, I will try my best to install the adapter on the satellite."

"I understand your feelings, and I understand everyone's feelings even more."

Shu Xingbei looked at Wang Li and others who were busy following him, and then looked at Old Ye standing beside him.

The latter looked over and nodded slightly.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "But as a scientist, a worker, and the host of this satellite phone project."

"Minister Yang, I think this is an almost impossible task."

After saying this, a group of people lowered their heads, with expressions of loss and confusion on their faces.

Han Sanfeng patted Shu Xingbei's shoulder gently to show his understanding.

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao who was still frowning, "Director Yang! Teacher Shu is right, even if we create a miracle!"

"But this is to be installed on a satellite. If something goes wrong, it will affect the overall situation!"

Everyone in the room lowered their heads even more!

But Yang Xiaotao raised his head.

"Master, Lao Han, Teacher Shu!"

"And all my colleagues!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice was unpleasant, but it made people feel an inexplicable sense of firmness.

Everyone looked up, and Yang Xiaotao continued, "The overall situation is not something you should consider!"

"As for the responsibility, I am responsible for this issue. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility!"

"Because this is what I'm supposed to do!"

Mr. Ye, who was standing by, was about to persuade them. The others also looked concerned, but were stopped by Yang Xiaotao.

"So, just tell me, can you do it in three days?"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he stared at Shu Xingbei.

Being looked at by Yang Xiaotao, Shu Xingbei felt uneasy.

He was really afraid of implicating Yang Xiaotao.

But at this time, under Yang Xiaotao's determination, he had no other choice.

Facing Yang Xiaotao's gaze, Shu Xingbei nodded, "Yes!"
