The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 289 You still want to slap them in the face? They don't!
Since the leader has spoken, the propaganda system immediately took action.

That evening, CCTV's 7 o'clock news broadcast this explosive news.

女主播用字正腔圆的普通话喜气洋洋播报：“本台最新消息，我国于11月9日晚7点在西昌卫星发射中心用新型运载火箭长征5号成功将3颗导航卫星发射到地球同步轨道。”

The picture appears: Wang Haoran appears, and at a command, the rocket ignites and flies straight into the sky. The scene is very magnificent.

The female anchor continued: "It is reported that this is the first launch of the Long March 3 rocket, and also the first time that my country has attempted to launch three synchronous orbit satellites with one rocket."

"This also created a new record in the world's aerospace history!"

The picture appears: the process of the Long March 3 rocket launching three satellites into space and reaching the preset orbit is shown in animation form.

The female anchor's voice-over: "The purpose of this Long March 5 rocket launch mission is to start building our country's satellite navigation system!"

"Satellite navigation has always been a cutting-edge scientific research in the aerospace field. Yusa and Daxiong are both conducting relevant research."

"Our country has been in a relatively backward position in this field for a long time."

"However, under the leadership of Wang Haoran, one of our country's outstanding young scientific leaders, we overcame numerous difficulties. In less than a year, we broke through nearly 100 scientific and technological problems and developed a world-leading atomic clock and a new hydrogen-oxygen engine."

"At the same time, Comrade Wang Haoran also pioneered the development of a new satellite navigation theory that only requires three satellites to provide navigation services within the region."

The scene of the interview with Wang Haoran appears.

Wang Haoran spoke eloquently in front of the camera, expounding on the current research status of Europe and the United States in the field of satellite navigation. He also briefly described the three-step strategy of Longguo's Beidou satellite navigation system.

The first step is to obtain satellite navigation services in the region and use three satellites to achieve navigation in a considerable part of the Asia-Pacific sea area.

The second step is to build a global satellite navigation star chain to achieve coverage of navigation signals in most areas of the world.

The third step is to build a truly global navigation network so that all regions of the world, even in the North and South Poles, can obtain satellite navigation services.

The female anchor continued to report: "At present, the three navigation satellites launched by our country for the first time have successfully arrived at the preset orbit."

"Moreover, after testing, the three satellites have been networked and can provide navigation services in my country and most of the eastern and southern waters of the Asia-Pacific region."

"It is understood that this is also the world's first operational satellite navigation network..."

Inside the consulate, Bill Pope frowned. He felt terrible after reading the news.

What? The Dragon people actually did it?

Have they actually built a working satellite navigation network?

God! Just a dozen days ago, the domestic media was full of ridicule about the mission of the Dragon Kingdom's launch!
Now, this is a slap in the face!
Bill Pope also accepted an interview with CNN, in which he laughed and said: "According to what I heard, they only had half a year to rush this launch!"

"There's no way they're going to succeed! They, I don't think, have figured out satellite navigation yet."

"As long as their rocket doesn't explode, I think we should congratulate them!"

"As for the satellites they launched, they just added a bunch of space junk!"

Now, it's good, they succeeded...

It’s incredible!
How exactly did they do it?
"Jingle Bell!"

The telephone on Bill Pope's desk rang.

He reached for the receiver and put it to his ear.

"Mr. Pope, I'm Colt, a CNN reporter. We've seen the news that the Dragons have successfully built a satellite navigation network. Excuse me, have you seen the news?"

The call was from a CNN reporter.

Bill Pope grinned. It was he who was interviewed by this reporter last time.

"I saw the news and just finished reading it."

Colt asked: "Excuse me, do you think this news is true?"

Colt doubted the authenticity of the news.

Because, he thought, something that Squid had been studying for more than ten years and still couldn't figure out, was actually figured out by Longguo in just over half a year. This was fucking unrealistic!
Could it be that the Dragon people obtained alien technology?
Bill Pope smiled bitterly: "Based on my understanding of the Dragon people, this is very likely to be true!"

"Because they are not as flamboyant as us."

“When their important media reports something, it means they can really do it, and it will definitely stand the test.”

Colt was silent for a moment, still unwilling to believe it: "But, we have been studying for more than ten years and still haven't figured it out, how come they succeeded in just over half a year?"

"This must be fake. They are waging a propaganda war against us!"

'Moreover, I interviewed several senior experts in China, and they all thought that it was impossible and unrealistic! '

Bill Pope said: "We didn't believe that the Dragon people had developed advanced lithography machines, etching machines, packaging machines and a complete chip industry chain!"

"At that time, all the experts in our media were questioning and mocking us, but in the end, it was proven that the chip technology of the Dragon people was at least 20 years ahead of ours!"

"They later crushed us in the computer field..."

"Mr. Colt, it's better for us to be truthful when we talk to each other."

"To be honest, I don't believe they can succeed."

"But our doubts may be of no use at all."

"In short, they created another miracle."

Colt murmured: "God, how can I report this news?"

Bill Pope said: "We can only lie and use our advantage in public opinion to suppress the reality that Dragon people are leading in technology."

"If our image as a technological leader collapses, it will be a huge disaster for us."

"Our aerospace experts, I really don't know what they are doing!"

"They're spending a ton of money, but they're not delivering anything meaningful."

“It’s really infuriating.”

Bill Pope grumbled to Colt.

After Colt interviewed Bill Pope, he felt a little unwell.

For the arrogant Squid people, being surpassed by the Dragon people in the field of science and technology again and again is really a bit unacceptable to them.

……

At this time, NASA President Foxon was also feeling uncomfortable.

In fact, many people around the world watch the 7 o'clock news on CCTV.

Moreover, the signal of the 7 o'clock news can radiate around the world.

Everyone can accept it.

Although Foxon did not see the news personally.

But after the news was broadcast, someone immediately reported it to him.

"what?"

"They actually succeeded?"

Foxon was stunned.

In fact, he had already seen the news that Longguo launched three stars into space with one rocket.

He was very depressed at that time because there was no explosion!
But at that time, he still firmly believed that it was impossible to successfully form a network with three satellites.

But now, the Dragon people have announced that they have successfully established the network, and can already provide amazing navigation services. They have also tested it in various fields such as military, aviation, navigation, and land transportation. The test results show that the navigation network formed by three satellites can indeed provide very good navigation services?
It seems that the Dragon people have created another miracle.

Now, the pressure on his shoulders is even greater.

Although he has only been the president of NASA for more than three years, and the research on satellite navigation has always been led by the military, he also has certain responsibilities.

……

The news of the successful launch of the Longguo navigation satellite was so shocking that the entire elite of the squid quickly learned about it.

They were all a little overwhelmed.

The media didn’t know how to report it.

Two or three days passed, and not a single word of the related news appeared in the Judean media.

However, the media in European countries reported this incident in a sour tone.

Of course, some sarcasm is inevitable.

These countries have formed a monopoly in the science and technology industry for many years.

Relying on advanced technology, they have harvested leeks from all over the world and made a lot of money. They can implement high welfare in their own country so that even ordinary people can live a good life: lots of holidays, easy work, and they can vacation around the world.

Their income can be many times higher than in other countries in the world.

They can travel to those places with a sense of superiority.

But now, the Dragon Kingdom has risen.

In more and more fields, Longguo began to join the competition.

In more and more fields, Longguo began to take the lead.

They can no longer reap the world at will.

This is unacceptable to them.

They try to protect their own local businesses with high tariffs and so on.

However, there are many products that they cannot develop even if they want to cultivate local enterprises.

This is really a tragic story!
They want to work together to develop their own big market so that they can form a unified pace and improve their bidding strength.

However, the interests of more than a dozen small countries are actually different.

Brother Long can definitely defeat them one by one.

Although Europe also finds it unacceptable that Brother Long has developed a satellite navigation system, they are not as upset by comparison.

Because they have no plans to develop their own satellite navigation network!
But this news also had a huge impact on Faji and Hans.

They began to take the lead and wanted to start researching their own satellite navigation system.

But starting from scratch is easier said than done...

By the way, after reading the news that Longguo had completed the first phase of the satellite navigation network, the Squidward Actor Eagle King really couldn't sit still.

He convened a meeting of the heads of relevant departments and demanded that the construction of the global satellite navigation system must be accelerated!

In addition, he also decided to send NASA President Foxon to Dragon Country.

He hopes to test Brother Long to see if they can share their experience in global satellite navigation technology or have an in-depth collaboration.

If you can trick them into giving you some skills, that would be great too.

Anyway, for Squid, they will cheat and deceive as they can. They have never talked about credibility.

Foxen took the order and flew directly to the capital of Longguo on December 12.

Before Foxon set off, he must first communicate with the relevant parties in Longguo and obtain their permission before he can make the trip.

The person he contacted was Zhang Mingxiang, head of the aerospace industry department.

He hopes to visit and have some industry exchanges with Zhang Mingxiang.

If possible, he would also like to visit related R&D companies.

Zhang Mingxiang agreed to let him come for a visit.

However, he was not allowed to visit the relevant enterprises.

Foxen brought a number of experts and flew to the capital of Longguo on a special plane.

After they arrived, Zhang Mingxiang sent a director to meet them at the airport.

Of course, Squidward Consul Bill Pope also came to the airport in person.

In fact, Bill Pope and Foxon have the same position.

Originally, he didn't need to come over to greet her.

But Bill Pope wanted to talk to Foxon.

Moreover, he was not comfortable letting Foxon ride in the Dragon countryman's car.

When Foxen got off the plane, the reception was standard, with a red carpet, but the scene was rather deserted.

The airport reception staff from Longguo prepared a domestic bus to pick up Foxen and others.

However, Bill Pope also brought a motorcade.

The fleet he brought was filled with his own domestic cars, mainly Cadillacs.

However, when Foxon stood on the gangway and looked down, he saw a car that looked very beautiful and majestic not far away. The logo on the front of the car showed that it was Longguo's Red Flag sedan.

Foxon couldn't help but be attracted.

He had heard about this car many times.

Although squid does not allow the import of longguo cars.

However, there will still be some vehicles that come by water that will enter and be modified.

Foxon heard from others that this car has very good handling and is very fuel-efficient. It has all the functions that a luxury car should have, and some even more, especially the innovative electronic functions.

The most important thing is: it is much cheaper than traditional luxury cars.

It is said that this car is currently selling quite well in many countries around the world.

It has already threatened the interests of the country's giant car companies.

After Foxen got off the plane, the Longguo personnel responsible for picking him up shook hands and greeted him and went through the reception procedures.

Then Bill Pope shook hands with him, and then Bill Pope invited him and his technical staff to take his convoy to stay in the Yosa people's own hotel.

All this is for the sake of so-called safety.

Foxen left the airport in the same car as Bill Pope.

"Mr. Pope, have you ever ridden in a Red Flag sedan owned by the Dragon people?" Foxon asked.

Bill Pope shrugged and said, "We actually bought a few in the consulate."

"Because, you know, we banned their cars from being imported, and they took reciprocal measures."

"Our consulate needs new cars, so we have no choice but to buy their domestically produced cars. This is a shame."

Foxon said: "What a pity. Their domestic market has great potential. They are already the world's largest auto market, right?"

Bill Pope spread his hands and said, "Yes, they now sell more than 10 million new cars a year."

“We are totally out of this market now…”

"It seems like no matter what we do, we're not getting any advantage," Foxon said.

"Man, how do their Red Flag cars drive?"

"I heard that it is very strong in every aspect, from the engine to the gearbox, from the chassis to the suspension, and to the various electronic assistance systems, it is full of technology."

Bill Pope said: "Indeed, they are also making rapid progress in the field of automobiles, and their cars are not bad. I am really worried that their cars may quickly squeeze our market space!"

"I think that we can't achieve our goals by using blockades and restrictions. We should change our strategy!"
