Even if the aerospace industry technology cannot be exchanged, Big Brother still has a lot of good things.

For example, Siberia, Outer Mongolia, and oil resources can actually be used as bargaining chips to exchange with Big Brother.

He is not afraid of not having enough chips, but he is afraid that the other party is unwilling to exchange.

Just like Siberia, a cold land, perhaps at this time, Big Brother still regards Siberia as a strategic location. Its vast territory and harsh natural environment can provide Big Brother with sufficient strategic depth, which makes Big Brother particularly important when facing potential external threats.

Siberia's geographical location makes it a natural barrier for Big Brother to defend against invasion. Especially in World War II, Big Brother used Siberia's spatial advantage to organize a counterattack and ultimately won the war.

But in Zhou Tian's opinion, this was a huge waste of Siberia. In his previous life, he knew that there were countless natural resources buried in Siberia, and oil alone was enough to accelerate the development of various domestic industries.

For example, coal, natural gas, trees, and a range of precious metals.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Tian knew the answer, it was wishful thinking for him to expect Big Brother to exchange Siberia for a horizontal lathe. It would be impossible even if he took out some more advanced machine tools.

"Alas, it's a pity that it's not the 90s, otherwise it would be the same."

Zhou Tian shook his head helplessly and said no more.

As for Outer Mongolia, he estimated that this was impossible. After all, when Outer Mongolia was first established, it was Big Brother’s first barrier to prevent our country. If he wanted him to give up Outer Mongolia, he would have to offer conditions that the other party could not refuse.

After giving up some unrealistic ideas, his mind returned to resources and industry. As for resources, he actually hoped to exchange them for some oil resources, but he also knew that this was difficult, and Big Brother was not so easy to talk to now.

Even if the oil mining rights are exchanged, I am afraid that when the two countries break up, they will be forcibly taken back by the other side.

As for industry, as he just said to Director Yang, perhaps the only way to exchange it is for some aerospace industry technology, or the higher-ups will consider selling the horizontal lathe to repay Big Brother's debt.

All kinds of ideas kept emerging in his mind, and he kept racking his brains to think about how to maximize his benefits.

Just when Zhou Tian was thinking about how to fleece Big Brother, Director Yang also made a phone call to the department in his office and reported everything Algis said to the top leader.

After receiving the news, the top leader quickly organized a meeting of experts.

"Everyone, tell me, this is the situation, what do you think we should do?"

After Zhang Yu finished telling Director Yang’s report, he glanced at the experts around him and asked.

At this moment, all the experts fell silent after hearing Zhang Yu's words. After all, to be honest, this was the first time they heard of such a thing. And they had no reference target for what to do.

"Master, I think we can consider it! After all, many of Big Brother's technologies are superior to ours. Even if we exchange them for some basic technologies, it would be a great progress for our country!"

After a long silence, one of the experts spoke first.

"No, sir, I don't think we can change it. First of all, we tested the horizontal lathe. We all know that the horizontal lathe developed by Master Zhou is nearly ten years ahead of the world. If such an advanced lathe is replaced by Big Brother, it may be a great help to Big Brother's industrial development. I don't agree!"

"Big leader, I think we can exchange. Yes, our lathes are indeed very advanced, but you have to know what we lack now? Is it really high-tech precision machinery? No, what we lack is the most basic technology. As long as we exchange the basic technology of Big Brother, then our industrial development will be even more powerful. I support the exchange!"

"I don't agree..."

As experts continued to speak, the entire meeting lasted nearly a day. Everyone spoke freely and expressed their ideas one by one.

In general, more people are in favor of changing technology, but there are also many people who do not support it.

As the senior leader Zhang Yu listened to the experts arguing with each other, he felt a headache coming on.

Inwardly, he cursed Director Yang for his bad idea, but no matter how much of a headache it was, the problem still had to be solved. After the meeting, the big boss reported the decision made at the meeting to his superiors.

Soon, an order came from above that they could agree to exchange technology for Big Brother's technology, but it was not limited to aerospace technology. Experts from above would be sent to negotiate with Big Brother's experts.

When the news came, the top leader conveyed the order to Director Yang.

After receiving the news from the top leader, Director Yang was immediately relieved. He did not go to find Argis first, but went to the technical department to find Zhou Tian.

After meeting Zhou Tian, ​​Director Yang told him the decision from above, then looked at Zhou Tian and said comfortingly: "Xiaotian, we should not interfere in this matter. Let the experts above handle it. Don't you have any ideas?"

After all, it seemed that Zhou Tian was the only one who suffered losses from this matter from beginning to end. Even if he was stupid, he understood that he had to appease Zhou Tian first.

"Director, I understand!"

Zhou Tian did not show any dissatisfaction after listening to Director Yang's words. He had anticipated this matter from the beginning. It was a transaction between the two countries, and he and Director Yang were not qualified to participate in it at their level.

But it's better this way. After all, he is just a researcher. He doesn't think that if he gets involved, he can be better than the experts sent by higher-ups.

"That's good, I thought you would be emotional!"

When Director Yang heard Zhou Tian agree, he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

"No, I know my own limitations. I don't think my negotiation skills can match those of the experts sent by the higher-ups, so don't worry, Director!"

Zhou Tian said truthfully.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Tian saw Director Yang off from the technical department.

The experts from above arrived very quickly. The next day, Zhou Tianyi went to the machinery factory early in the morning and handed the drawings of the improved cylindrical grinder to Song Weiguo, asking him to go to the military factory to trial produce a few machines. Then he rode his bike to the steel rolling mill. Before he entered the office, he heard several people discussing the matter of sending people to the steel rolling mill.

The first thing he thought of was the expert that Director Yang had mentioned to him yesterday. It seemed that the higher-ups also had the idea of ​​changing the technology, otherwise the expert would not have come so quickly. However, Zhou Tian didn't care about this.

As long as the country doesn’t suffer any loss.

After returning to the office, he felt a little bored as he had no more days to draw. He just wanted to go to the factory to inquire about the experts, but then he thought it was not a good idea. Since it was a technology exchange between the two countries, the security would be very strict. If he went there, he would be asking for trouble. After thinking about it, he sat down again.

He was feeling a little bored and was staring blankly toward the cafeteria outside the window. Suddenly, he remembered his original plan for agricultural machinery and slapped his forehead.

"Oh, how could I have forgotten about this!"

Speaking of agricultural machinery, he had originally planned to research agricultural machinery first, but later, under the instigation of Director Yang, he involuntarily embarked on the path of continuing to improve machine tools.

Since the research institute has not been officially built yet and the machine tool issue has come to an end, he has decided to resume his research on agricultural machinery!
