The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan, who was attending the conference for the first time, expressed such a clear opposition that it was beyond everyone's expectations. Academician Chen and Academician Yang both looked at him a few more times in surprise.

Academician Chen, the oldest person in the office, nodded to Lin Zhiyuan and said, "Director Lin, can you tell me why you are so strongly opposed to cooperating with Europe?"

reason?

As a reborn person, Lin Zhiyuan knows the consequences of cooperating with Europe. When developing the Galileo project, due to Europe's own lack of funds and technology, it invited Shenzhou to join the Galileo project and signed a cooperation agreement with Shenzhou. According to the agreement, Shenzhou will provide 20 billion yuan (about 2.5 million euros) of funds to the Galileo project and participate in satellite development, ground facility construction, application development and other aspects. At that time, Shenzhou had high expectations and confidence in the Galileo project, believing that this was a good opportunity to promote China-Europe scientific and technological cooperation and mutual benefit and win-win results.

However, as the Galileo project progressed, Shenzhou gradually found itself being treated as a cash machine and an accessory. First, in terms of funding, Europe did not include the 20 billion yuan provided by Shenzhou into the total budget of the Galileo project as agreed, but regarded it as a "donation" or "sponsorship" and did not give Shenzhou corresponding decision-making power and rewards.

Secondly, in terms of technology, Europe did not treat Shenzhou as an equal partner as agreed, but excluded it from core technologies and key equipment, and only allowed Shenzhou to participate in some marginal and low-end work.

Finally, in terms of politics, under pressure and influence from the United States, Europe began to adopt a hostile and exclusionary attitude towards Shenzhou, and even announced in 2008 that Shenzhou would be removed from the Galileo project, canceling Shenzhou's cooperation qualifications and rights. In this way, Shenzhou not only lost 20 billion yuan in investment, but also lost the opportunity to participate in the construction of the global satellite navigation system, and was ruthlessly betrayed and abandoned by Europe.

Shenzhou not only lost 2 billion precious funds, but also wasted a lot of time. Although we relied on self-reliance to eventually build a complete satellite navigation system, now that Lin Zhiyuan has been reborn, he will of course do his best to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

Lin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. He looked at Wen Zepu and said, "Director Wen, could you please first explain from the perspective of national defense why our country needs to develop a satellite navigation system?"

Wen Zepu was stunned for a moment, then stood up again, speaking in a low voice, "Well, this is no secret. The main reason why my country studies satellite navigation systems is still based on national defense security. As we all know, in 1993, the Shenzhou Yisou freighter was suspected by foreign parties of transporting banned chemicals. The foreign parties shut down the GPS signal in the waters where the freighter was located, causing the freighter to drift in the Indian Ocean for 33 days. When faced with this incident, a Chinese diplomat felt extremely angry and humiliated, and said "cowardly" 17 times in a row."

"In 1996, during a live-fire exercise, our army mysteriously lost contact with two missiles shortly after launch, and their trajectories could not be tracked at all. In the end, they deviated from the target and fell into the sea. Those of you present here are not soldiers, so you cannot understand this humiliation. In fact, I share the same opinion as Director Lin. I am firmly opposed to cooperating with other countries to develop satellite navigation systems. This kind of weapon of mass destruction, which is highly related to national defense security, can only be mastered in our own hands. It's just that everyone present here is a scientist, so I didn't dare to say it so harshly. Instead, Director Lin spoke my mind, and I want to say thank you to him." Wen Zepu's chest heaved violently. Obviously, Lin Zhiyuan's words aroused his indignation.

"What Academician Chen, Academician Yang, Director Sun, and Director Wen said is why I firmly oppose it. I personally think that Europe is looking for us to cooperate now because they lack funds. They regard us as ATMs and suckers, and we must not be fooled by them. Although I know that researching satellite navigation systems is difficult and there is a long way to go, I firmly believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to develop our own satellite navigation system. I would like to make it clear that Shenzhou Electronics Technology Group will fully cooperate and provide money and people. I just don't believe it. Is Europe better than us? Back then, we were able to develop the two bombs and one satellite under such a difficult environment. Now that conditions are better, we should do even greater things."

After Lin Zhiyuan expressed his views, Academician Chen and Academician Yang stood up and led the applause.

"Director Lin, although this is the first time we meet, your spirit is worth learning from!"

"Yes! I also agree with Director Lin's point of view. The importance of the satellite navigation system is the same as the two bombs and one satellite. It is a national treasure and we must not pin our hopes on others."

"Director Sun, this is our opinion. Please reflect it truthfully to all leaders." Wen Zepu said solemnly.

Three days after the meeting, Lin Zhiyuan received a call from Wen Tiangao's secretary, "Director Lin, the leader wants to see you tomorrow. Please be prepared. It's about the satellite navigation system."

"Ok."

The next day, an ordinary black car picked up Lin Zhiyuan from the group's headquarters.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhiyuan appeared in a Chinese-style house. With him were Wen Zepu, Academician Chen, Academician Yang and Director Sun who had attended the meeting that day.

The elders who talked to them were Wen Tiangao and Wu Dingguo, and the chief elder was also present.

Several elders listened carefully to the opinions of Academicians Chen and Yang.

The two scientists naturally used technology as support and explained to the elders the specific reasons for their opposition with reason and evidence.

"Leader, the satellite navigation system does have very high technical requirements, but it is not impossible for us to achieve it. So far, the test phase of the No. 1 navigation system is almost completed. As long as we give us some more time with the personnel and funds in place, I believe our country will have its own complete satellite navigation system and there is no need to cooperate with others."

After listening to the opinions of the two academicians, the elder pondered for a while and asked, "Gentlemen, how long do you think it will take for us to build a global satellite navigation and positioning system as complete as that of the United States?"

The two academicians finally gave an answer, "Twenty years!"

Next, the Great Elder sought the opinions of Wen Zepu and Lin Zhiyuan.

Wen Zepu still explained his reasons for opposing cooperation with Europe from the perspective of national defense and security.

When it was Lin Zhiyuan's turn to speak, Wu Dingguo suddenly smiled at him, "Zhiyuan, I heard that you were very emotional when you spoke that day! Can you tell me why?"

"Secretary Wu, because I know that cooperating with Europe will not have a good ending. It is a sheer waste of time and money."

"Are you so sure?"

"I just want to say one thing. Can Europe withstand the opposition from the United States?" Lin Zhiyuan completely convinced the elders with just one sentence.
