Chapter 197 Want to build a mechanical exoskeleton

"So VOSTA LMG has made no substantial progress since entering the market until now? What are they doing during this time?"

Chen Nian asked doubtfully.

"I spent most of my time fighting against the bad regulations in Vietnam."

"It is said that they have just punished a group of corrupt elements, and some were even shot on the spot - however, the effect of this is very limited, because the root of the problem does not lie with the low-level executors they arrested."

"A project as big as a sand dredger is handled by so many departments. Under their system, do you think they can guarantee that no one will not lend a hand?"

"As long as someone reaches out, it's not something a military region can handle."

"In my opinion, their sand dredger project is actually dead - it's better if it doesn't sink into the water when it's launched."

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian nodded with lingering fear.

He was not rejoicing for the failure in Vietnam, but for the decision he made a few years ago.

It is true that given the current domestic environment, it is actually impossible to be 100% clean and upright, and there is room for improvement in many areas.

But at least we have established a foundation.

Our military has not been corroded. As long as this is maintained and reforms are carried out gradually, many things will be reversed.

This is something he has seen with his own eyes.

In the next ten years, many things will change, and some people who were once unscrupulous will also receive the punishment they deserve.

History always develops in an upward spiral, and what we need now is just more patience.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian said:

"In that case, we don't need to pay too much attention to the progress of VOSAT LMG, right?"

"I have considered taking some action against them before, but now it seems that there is no need for us to take action - they will kill themselves."

"That's true."

Chen Guo nodded and replied.

"However, what we should push forward is to push it as soon as possible. If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance. Once the pressure starts to decrease, it will easily lead to collapse."

"So we can only fight until the end. If we want to rest, we can only wait until the project is over."

"It's very hard for frontline workers."

Chen Nian said with emotion.

"Without you, they will have a harder time."

Chen Guo looked serious and spoke solemnly.

After a pause, he continued:

"If nothing else, let's just talk about when we launched the J-10."

"The wind tunnel blows again and again, and the design changes again and again."

"What was the most painful thing at that time? It wasn't the heavy workload, nor the physical exhaustion, but the mental exhaustion."

"I can't find my direction. Every day when I open my eyes, I think that I owe a lot of data and have to run away. The anxiety is really indescribable."

"It's much better now. Everyone knows what they want to do and has clear goals."

"Moreover, after every day's work, there are results."

"If in the past, a donkey had a carrot dangled in front of its eyes and could not eat it no matter how hard it traveled, at least now, the carrots are placed on the roadside and you can eat them after walking a few steps."

Chen Guo chuckled and said slightly teasingly:

"But now, our donkey is carrying a heavier load."

"Would you like to slow down the pace a little?"

Chen Nian asked with a frown.

In fact, during this period, he also clearly felt that the pace of technological iterative development was a bit too fast.

There are several major projects running in parallel. Do you want to add some new small projects? Everyone in the Spark team is very busy.

Many times, when I suddenly wanted to call Chen Guo late at night, he still picked up the phone immediately.

This proves that his sleep and rest time are seriously insufficient.

You can see it from the dark circles on his face.

And if he is the overall person in charge, let alone others.

Especially those front-line engineers who are mainly responsible for technology implementation. Maybe many of them have been squeezed to the limit.

——

Not only manpower, but all aspects of resources have also approached the upper limit of balanced development. The excess of basic resources such as steel and coal that was supposed to occur in 2006 has no signs at all.

The reason is simple: these resources have been completely drained by various projects of the Spark Team.

From a resource optimization allocation perspective, this seems to be a good thing.

But if you take into account the endogenous potential of the industry and the subsequent upgrading of the industry that must be carried out, this is not that good.

The current economic situation in China is like a nouveau riche, or like a private enterprise that has grown wildly in its early stage. If the speed of "upgrading" cannot keep up with the speed of "making money", maybe one day there will be a collapse.

node.

At that time, no matter how advanced your technology is or how powerful your background is, you will not be able to save the avalanche-like situation.

There are lessons for this kind of thing, and it is impossible for Chen Nian to just watch it happen.

Chen Guo noticed Chen Nian's worried look. After thinking for a moment, he answered:

"There is no need to talk about 'slowing down' yet."

"However, objectively speaking, such reckless development has major hidden dangers, and we are also discussing this issue internally."

"Basically, everyone's views are relatively consistent."

"That is, after getting through this maritime crisis, we need to shift from military industry to civilian use as soon as possible and start upgrading basic industries."

"I don't know if you are interested in participating. Of course, we don't force you. If you want to focus on military industry, we have no problem at all."

"It's just that the professionalism you showed on the high-speed rail matter made everyone look forward to it."

"I definitely want to participate."

Chen Nian replied decisively.

"But where do we plan to start?"

"It's a trick that's popular all over the world. It's nothing fancy. It's just infrastructure construction."

"Roads, bridges, ports, electricity, resources, water conservancy, real estate. Of course, there are also some relatively new infrastructure activities, such as communications, that must also be carried out."

Chen Nian looked at Chen Guo in surprise and couldn't help but ask:

"The communication layout is now proposed?"

In his impression, it will take many years before the "new infrastructure" of communications is formally incorporated into strategic goals.

"What else?"

Chen Guo asked back somewhat strangely.

"Be prepared for a rainy day. Many things should be done sooner rather than later."

"Judging from the current situation, we have too many communication no-man's land, which will cause serious differentiation in economic development. At some times, the consequences are even more serious than the consequences of traffic differences."

"Understood."

Chen Nian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

However, in his heart, there was already some vague admiration.

It seems that this country has always been very clear-headed about its own destiny.

Although they talk about the "five-year plan" every year, in fact, the plan has been implemented for at least twenty years, and it may even be thirty years later.

From such a long-term perspective, he also felt at ease.

You are not the only one who leads the way.

At least now, he can say calmly, "I am not alone in my path."

After chatting with Chen Guo, Chen Nian looked at his schedule and found that he didn't have many plans for this afternoon, so he calmly paddled for half a day.

——

Of course, what he meant by paddling was actually the content of a self-study course on material interface science.

Compared with the heavy scientific research tasks, studying has become a kind of relaxation for him now.
