Chapter 335 True Patriot

"Future X?"

On the way back, Andrew couldn't wait to open the file.

This is a top-secret project plan.

The origin of the project can be traced back 28 years ago.

at that time.

The Space Command proposed four concepts: control of space, global engagement, comprehensive force integration and global cooperation.

Against this background, multiple space projects code-named X were created.

After many changes, most of the projects have come to nothing.

Only one Project 37 survived, and after many twists and turns, it came into the hands of the Space Force Rapid Response Office, code-named "Return to Interstellar Project."

Judging from the progress revealed in the documents, this project has completed some verification and is very serious about it.

The project's restart was entirely handled by Whiteman.

He and his allies have already reaped the benefits of this project.

He didn't know how many packs of screws that cost $90,000 each had been sold.

But no matter how good a cash cow is, it will eventually dry up.

If Project 37 is to continue, it will not only be extremely expensive, but also have many technical flaws.

If you dig deep enough, you'll find the truth.

So Whiteman thought that instead of discovering it passively, it would be better to proactively stop the project.

Currently, Project 37 has encountered a bottleneck and is undergoing evaluations from all sides. He needs more people to stand on his side, point out the flaws of this project, and then naturally stop work.

Andrew is part of this play.

Because this project is the old oligarch's project, and Andrew is the bridgehead against the old oligarch.

If he were asked to intervene, he would vote against it without hesitation.

His calculations were not wrong.

After reading the plan, Andrew was indeed prepared to vote against it.

However, the reason for the vote was not to oppose the old oligarchs.

But because he has his own understanding.

Andrew studied the entire plan inside and out and consulted several engineers, and then he came to a terrible conclusion.

Although Project 37 had some drawbacks, it was generally close to success.

Once the project reaches the launch verification stage, they will once again take the initiative in space.

Space vehicles like this can, at a smaller scale, participate in space infrastructure construction.

On a larger scale, it can be applied to the military field...

The consequences could be disastrous.

They are strong in space technology. If Project 37 makes any further progress, the gap that has been narrowed with great difficulty will reappear again.

So Andrew turned off the computer and faced the plan, gritting his teeth.

"Return to the stars...must die!"

The first working day after the weekend.

Andrew pushed aside all his schedule and came to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, where the rapid response office is located.

at this time.

A large-scale discussion meeting is still ongoing.

During the recess period.

Pinkman, the head of the Rapid Response Office, came out personally and greeted Andrew grandly.

"Sir, His Excellency the VP has long said that you would come over. On behalf of the Space Force Rapid Response Office, I warmly welcome you."

Pinkman can tell the difference between a king and a queen.

Andrew is a hotshot at VP and has enormous energy.

So he licked it very hard.

"Hello, Colonel, am I not late?"

Pinkman waved his hand. “No, they just finished a round of hearings this morning.”

"How about it?"

"It's not clear. There are some controversies in the project. There are major disagreements between the Soundwave and Space Force laboratories responsible for the research and development. The main issues are aerodynamic design and on-orbit and off-orbit control."

Andrew had been studying the project documents all night, so he spoke immediately: "Since it is a space vehicle, the assistance and trimming of OMS and RCS will certainly not be as simple as those of ordinary aircraft."

Hearing this, Pinkman's eyes lit up: "Sir, you are also studying the automatic control of aircraft?"

“It can’t be called research, but our company’s products have certain similarities with this project.”

Pinkman nodded happily: "Then the VP made the right choice by asking you to be the observer for this project!"

at this time.

A group of people walked out of the conference room.

Most of them are Chinese.

Andrew just took a look and didn't care much.

Until Pinkman waved his hand and stopped the leader.

"DR.HU, please come here."

A young yellow man walked over with a tired face.

Pinkman pointed at the young man and turned to Andrew: "Sir, you two will definitely have something to say."

"His name is Hu Tianhe. He is the person in charge of the sub-project of the Space Force Laboratory. He happens to be in charge of the on-orbit automated control we just talked about."

"I believe you can also tell that he is also Asian."

Originally, Andrew didn't have the heart to pay much attention to it.

But after Pinkman's introduction, he perked up.

There is no other reason.

The person in front of me is too young.

Due to Asian Americans' racial aptitude in mathematics, it is common to see them in similar engineering programs.

This phenomenon has become a bit of a stereotype, just like black people have no fathers.

But most Asians only serve as grassroots researchers in the project, and their level is not high.

According to Pinkman.

The young man's surname is Hu, which means he may be a first-generation immigrant who has not yet been fully westernized and has his own name.

But even so, he is still the person in charge of the project, which seems very strange.

Andrew asked in a friendly manner after looking him up and down.

“Is Dr. Hu an immigrant?”

Hu Tianhe nodded: "Yes."

"Grown up here?"

"Not really. I went there before elementary school, and then I received education here. Then I fell in love with the atmosphere here."

“You mean the academic atmosphere?”

Hu Tianhe showed an expression of enjoyment: "Everything! Including this sweet air."

"..."

Andrew was speechless for a moment, his stomach churning.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this child looks just like an average-looking person.

As soon as I opened my mouth, the taste was so strong!
Andrew can guarantee that this guy must be a lifelong subscriber of Yilin.

What a piece of shit!

Yes.

You received your education here, but where did your tuition come from?

Isn’t it brought from China?

I have earned money from China and received a relatively advanced education, so I just don’t want to go back.

It also adds the sweet air treatment.

I felt so sick that I almost vomited.

Andrew tried his best to endure it.

Donuts were not uncommon during the time he lived here.

But those things are garbage, coming here will only make things worse, and although the words are a bit disgusting, they are not very harmful.

But intellectuals like Hu Tianhe are different.

I am not afraid of them being bad, I am afraid of bad people being educated.

This guy is so young, but he is already the person in charge of a detail of a major project.

He is undoubtedly capable.

Such people are determined to be donuts, which not only arms the enemy but also endangers themselves, resulting in great losses.

The most important thing is that due to his position, Andrew can only be a comrade-in-arms with this guy.

So he could only smile and nod his head in approval of Hu Tianhe. "Well, talents like Dr. Hu are the best embodiment of our diverse social values."

Hu Tianhe forced a smile: "Same here."

Although he knew that Andrew was also a donut, he always felt that he was being sarcastic.

The best embodiment of diversified social values——?
Isn't that saying I'm a traitor?
Haha!

unlucky!

but……

No matter how unlucky it is, his character is ruined.

"So sir, you are...?"

Seeing Hu Tianhe’s question, Pinkman immediately stepped forward to explain.

"This is Mr. Andrew, the CEO of a well-known innovative technology company in China."

"Oh, no wonder he looks familiar."

Hu Tianhe was not being polite, he had also heard of Andrew's name.

It's just that the numbers don't match.

Because there are too many Chinese CEOs now, and their composition is very complex.

So he was also curious: "Has Mr. Andrew always been working in China?"

Andelu waved his hand: “No, I used to work for a company on the other side of the strait, and then I changed several multinational companies, and then I founded a company in China.”

Hu Tianhe nodded slightly and thought to himself, I got it right!

His guess was close to ten.

People like this, who look like human beings, must have some weird stuff.

Relying on his background of studying abroad, he is now doing very well in China and holds a high position in a large company.

Then he would take the accumulated resources and come back here to be a lackey.

Compared to those public intellectuals, this kind of people are the most terrifying.

Firstly, they have worked in the country and know the situation well.

Secondly, they have money and can leverage resources.

Once this kind of person starts eating dog food, there will be endless trouble.

Andrew, right?

Hu Tianhe had already written his name firmly in the little notebook.

When I meet my leaders tomorrow, I must remind them to pay special attention to this high-level shepherd dog.

After a general understanding, the two sides shook hands in a friendly manner with the help of Pinkman.

But I don’t know why.

Pinkman always felt a chill when the two men shook hands.

"Dr. Hu, Mr. Andrew is also an observer of this project. Why don't you tell him about the progress?"

Hu Tianhe nodded: "The project is going smoothly at the moment."

"We have come up with a complete control system."

"If we can reach a consensus with Yinbo on the aerodynamic layout."

"I promise you that this project will be the greatest scientific advance on this planet since the computer revolution."

The words fell.

Andrew couldn't help but raise his hands and snap.

I'm all MMP in my heart.

Is there stimulant or something in the dog food you received?

You really try hard.

The most infuriating thing is that looking at Hu Tianhe’s happy expression, he seemed to have really mastered the core technology.

That's not okay.

If you were great, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
Fortunately, Andrew is not a fool. He also knows the situation of the project and speaks frankly.

"As far as I know, this project still has some bottlenecks, right?"

Hu Tianhe was only responsible for the control system, so he was blindly optimistic.

But he also had to admit Andrew's doubts: "I heard that they still have some problems with layout and power, but I believe they will be solved."

"How can you be so sure, Dr. Hu? You are an expert in control engineering, not aerodynamic layout, right?"

"I……"

Hu Tianhe already disliked the guy in front of him.

Because everything he said was true.

Project 37 is currently facing a bottleneck and progress is half and half, and it is difficult to stop.

The technology I developed is relatively mature, but other than that, the aerodynamics and power are rather poor.

Other labs don't even have a unified direction.

This has also led to the project being questioned today.

This is the situation that Hu Tianhe least wants to see.

Because Project 37 is his hard work and his main job content.

He knew from the beginning that the project was doomed to fail.

But this project involves a huge amount of resources.

As long as the project continues, resources will be wasted.

therefore.

Hu Tianhe is the most radical one in all the laboratories and he is determined to carry on with it.

Other laboratories were not so optimistic. Some universities felt that the project was too difficult and withdrew.

I heard that the competent authorities have also begun to waver recently and want to stop it.

Judging from the tone of this guy named Andrew, he has also made up his mind and does not want the project to go ahead.

Then Hu Tianhe could not fulfill his wish.

"As long as it is a scientific research project, there will be bottlenecks. We will overcome them."

Andrew smiled wryly: "I admire Dr. Hu's academic attitude very much, but what about the cost? This project is all spent on taxpayers' money."

"Yes! Use taxpayers' money to arm taxpayers." Hu Tianhe said fiercely.

"What if it fails?"

Hu Tianhe: "If we fail, we can start over again. In this competition, we have no way out. Either they take the initiative, or we do."

Andrew looked at Hu Tianhe's noisy appearance and thought that this guy was too deeply poisoned.

These are not problems that can be developed by Kan Yilin.

He seemed to genuinely want to make America strong.

Is this still available?

So he got a little carried away: "I am an entrepreneur, I am more concerned about the social cost. If a project drags our country into a quagmire, who will bear the responsibility?"

"Anyway, it's not you who will bear the consequences." Hu Tianhe said directly.

Andrew: “What do you mean?”

Hu Tianhe: "What do I mean? Tell me what you mean?"

Andrew: “I am standing from the taxpayer’s perspective!”

Hu Tianhe: "From the perspective of taxpayers, you should think about how to build the country. If this project fails, you will hand over the initiative in space to Dongda. I doubt your position."

Andrew: "So you spent tens of billions of taxpayers' money on a project. Isn't this helping the University of Tokyo?"

Hu Tianhe: "You said I was a spy?"

Andrew: "The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously."

Hu Tianhe: "You're using idioms? Isn't it clear who the spy is?"

"*/%&*￥"

“*/-*/￥#@*&”

"F*ck&$#@!"

"F*&^%"

"……………………"

"Alright, guys! We understand that we have different opinions on the project. We will discuss the details at the discussion meeting. Please stop attacking each other."

Pinkman finally breathed a sigh of relief after finally persuading the two men to leave.

At first they talked well in English.

In the end, I just used my mother tongue.

Although Pinkman didn't know what they were saying, judging from their tone, they were probably using some very dirty words.

but no matter.

This is not a personal attack.

This is just an analysis of the route by two true patriots. There is no right or wrong.
