Great Power Technology.

Chapter 210 Rise
The next day, Ye Zhou participated in the latest negotiation meeting with Mao Xiong. In this meeting, the Baranov Institute changed its tough attitude in previous meetings and made concessions on many conditions.

The Nantianmen project team did not insist on the original conditions, and instead proposed technology transfer conditions that were more acceptable to the other party.

These technology transfer conditions include the Big White Goose, the Swift nuclear power engine, the latest NK-32 aviation engine, and some unannounced aviation project technologies. At the meeting, the two sides initially negotiated the first two technology transfer strategies, but for other More technologies will be discussed further.

However, this is already a big improvement.

After the meeting, Alixai once again walked with the man in the suit on the small road outside the research institute. When there were no other people around, Alixai said with some emotion:
"The cooperation with the Nantianmen project this time is probably basically negotiated. The follow-up negotiations are just some in-depth supplements. Our position has been determined, and there is not much room for repentance."

The man in the suit nodded and replied:

"This result is already very good. Our initial goal has been achieved, and there is not much loss in technology transfer. After all, no one can judge in advance that they will achieve such a large technological breakthrough in such a short period of time. , Being able to enter the game early is already considered our success."

Having said that, he suddenly laughed to himself, and then continued:
"I heard that on the day the Qilian engine was released, the Nantianmen project team rejected all cooperation applications from Ugly Country, and even refused to allow them to participate in marginal areas. This move is too great."

"Too disgusting?"

Alexei asked additionally.

"Yeah, it seems that Ugly Country didn't suffer too much loss because of the Nantianmen project team's repentance, but I can almost imagine their expressions."

"Alexai, did you know? According to the information we have received, the owner of Ugly Country's Strategic Analysis Office is about to change again."

"This time, the man named Eisen didn't die from a heart attack or something. He just packed his luggage and went back to the countryside. I don't think he will re-enter the field of strategic analysis in his life."

Alexei nodded, and said with some self-mockery:
"Actually, after making such a big misjudgment of the opponent's technical strength, I should pack my bags and go back to the countryside. However, given our current situation, I really can't leave."

"I won't let you go back to the countryside. We still need you. Especially in the cooperation of the Nantianmen project, we need you even more."

"If this cooperation project does not have a suitable leader, our cooperation with the other party may only be a unilateral delivery of benefits to them."

"This is what I hope you can do-don't unilaterally deliver benefits, but get what we need from them."

The expression of the man in the suit changed slightly, and he paused for a moment before continuing:

"I still remember what that young man named Chen Hao said to you and Sergey at our first meeting. He said, we have lost our glory. I still hated this sentence at first. Huai, now, my mind has changed a bit."

"What he said is right, at least to some extent, our glory is not as good as it used to be, but it's not just because of our decline, but because they rose too fast and too incredible gone."

"It is indeed impossible to think that a bonfire has any glory when a prairie fire is burning violently."

"However, our bonfire once illuminated the night sky in the northern hemisphere's cold winter."

Hearing what the man in the suit said, Alexai fell silent in a rare way.

After a long time, he took out a pack of old-fashioned "White Sea" cigarettes from his pocket, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Our bonfire is about to go out."

"The Nantianmen project is our only chance."

"The significance of this project is not only in the aviation field, but more importantly, we will reach a wider cooperation with them through this project."

"In the past, our cooperation was only limited to the field of resources, which was not enough."

"They have already begun to deploy new energy sources. Once the strategy is fully rolled out, we may even be kicked away by them in a few decades."

"Technology, only technical cooperation is the only way out."

"We've got a lot more to do, starting with aviation."

"Let's put our reserve aside, it's not a big deal. Objectively speaking, this is not the first time in history."

The man in the suit nodded, waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, and replied with some emotion:
"Yeah, it's not the first time."

"History keeps repeating itself, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"I just hope that in this big reshuffle, we can keep our place as much as possible."

After the negotiation with the Baranov Research Institute was over, Ye Zhou did not pack his luggage and prepare to go on vacation as promised to the Xinghui man. Instead, he and Chen Hao came to the hidden sanatorium again.

There, he met the dying old man.

After all, he still couldn't make it to the official test flight of the Qilian engine.

However, what comforted Ye Zhou was that after the engine test was successful, Chen Hao had arranged for special personnel to inform him of the result, fulfilling the old man's last wish.

This was the third day after the test drive. The old man was already in the intensive care unit, and his heart rate and blood pressure had dropped to an extremely dangerous level. When Ye Zhou arrived, he had completely lost consciousness.

The old man's son introduced the old man's condition to Ye Zhou in the last few days. According to him, although the old man's physical condition was extremely bad, his mood was always good.

".He has been saying for the past few days that the biggest regret in his life is over when he can see the test results of the engine."

"He asked me to say thank you to you. He wanted to call you over to talk about the engine, but then he thought you must be very busy, so he didn't bother you."

"It's also my problem. I didn't expect his physical condition to deteriorate so quickly. When he saw the materials you sent over, he even asked me to buy him wine that day."

"Actually, his body can't touch alcohol at all. He told me that it doesn't matter if you don't drink it after buying it. If you look at it in front of your eyes, you will think that you have been drunk for a while."

Ye Zhou nodded silently, looking at the old man on the hospital bed who was so shriveled that he almost lost all color.

His breathing was steady, but also weak.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but wonder if he just fell asleep, or if he was in a dream of drinking and drinking after a battle of gold and iron horses, and singing and singing among all nations?

There is no answer, but it seems that the answer is extremely clear.

He sat down beside the hospital bed, and was about to hold the old man's hand, but at this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

Accompanied by bursts of rapid exhalation, the old man seemed to have finally woken up from that long dream. His eyes looked at Ye Zhou, and he made an indistinct low voice.

Ye Zhou comforted the old man softly, and the other party finally calmed down. The son who was waiting by the side had already called the doctor. After the preliminary examination, the doctor secretly cast a helpless look at Ye Zhou.

This is just a flashback.

The old man's body has entered the countdown to the exhaustion of oil and lamps.

As the old man's eyes became brighter, his breathing gradually became more stable. After more than ten minutes, he even sat up on his own initiative and asked the doctor to take off the breathing mask for him.

Ye Zhou knew that he had something to say, so he put his ear close to him. The old man held his hand tightly and said the last few words to him.

"Qilian engine, the core thermal components are working very well, but the performance is seriously dragged down by other structural parts, you need to pay more attention."

"The fan blade cooling hole punching model, you copied the GE-9X model. This model is very good, but it is not suitable for Qilian after the thermal components are changed. It needs to be changed!"

"After the thrust reaches 90 tons, the engine surge points are mainly concentrated on the connecting shafts, which shows that your finishing technology is not enough. In the future, you must focus on this direction."

After finishing the three sentences, the old man hurriedly put on the breathing mask again, then closed his eyes tightly, and did not say any more words.

On March 3th, at 24:1 in the morning, the old man who inherited his father's behest and devoted his whole life to Huaxia Aviation Development Co., Ltd. passed away suddenly.

This day is Ye Zhou's birthday.

The stars of the old days are falling, and the stars of the new day are rising.
