Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1270 Panic after the war, Beidou Satellite Navigation System

Of course, the impact of this war is still going on, let's not talk about others.For this war, the stimulus we have received is also unprecedented.We often say that the division of a hundred battles, such a unit is bound to have super combat effectiveness and combat experience.Because their combat capabilities and combat experience have been forged through the flames of war, such troops often have very strong combat effectiveness.This is the case with the Nanman who fought against us a few years ago. Although we have won the victory overall, in fact, we have suffered a lot.

And this country has been forged in ten years of war, has millions of elite troops, and a country with very advanced combat equipment in the eyes of our army.But in front of the multinational forces headed by Lao Mei, they didn't even look at a blow.Judging from the battle loss ratio of the two sides, it even reached a terrifying level of one hundred to one, which is really unimaginable in the eyes of our army.And we are proud that the big brother of the Army, which has always been the core combat force, seems to have done nothing in the face of such a war.Some people even pessimistically believe that our army's combat capability and battlefield performance may not be as good as the Babylonian army.

This makes our army and the atmosphere in the country very dignified. If it were us, how should we deal with it.You must know that our relationship with Laos and the United States continues to deteriorate, and the Laos and the United States have also assembled a large number of troops around our country, and the pressure is increasing day by day.If you don't think of a way to deal with it actively, then I'm afraid the final result will be the same as Babylon, or even worse.

Therefore, under this serious sense of urgency, our army and some relevant departments began to summarize the war under the requirements and organization of the above, and then to learn and learn from it.As for this war, the most dazzling western industrial company on our side, and Jiang Chen and the others naturally became the objects of invitation and competition from all sides.As the general manager of the company, and Jiang Chen's special status, this made him extremely sought-after.Although Jiang Chen could refuse most of the harassment and invitations, but there were still some that he had to attend.

The first is the internal meeting of the military industry system, which is organized by the Science and Technology Committee.As for this war, the B17 factory and Western Industrial Company performed eye-catchingly in weapons and equipment.So naturally, Jiang Chen became the best representative.Of course, there are also representatives from other relevant units, institutes, enterprises and manufacturers, but the focus is still on Jiang Chen.A large part of the weapons and equipment of this Babylonian army came from these enterprises and units of ours, but their performance on the battlefield was very unsatisfactory, and even became an international joke.This news spread to the country, which put pressure on these enterprises, manufacturers, institutes and some units.

Of course, there must be jealousy, especially Jiang Chen and the others made a lot of money relying on these equipment this time, how could these people not be jealous.But there is no way, whether it is the current B17 factory or the Western Industrial Company is far from being shaken by them.So, they can only talk about their deep thoughts, and then get up to see if they can learn some tricks.

The topic of Jiang Chen's discussion with them this time is the development direction of future technology and weaponry.To be honest, our research workers do not lack the spirit and courage of exploration, but they have been constrained by inherent thinking for a long time.These also come from the combat thinking that our army has always upheld, which also limits the directions that we researchers can explore.Another important reason is the economic problem, lack of money, this is the most important problem before everyone.

And for a long time, these units have implemented a kind of task-for-benefit.To put it bluntly, it is to obey the arrangement of the superior and the overall plan.There is no autonomy, and this autonomy is precisely the core driving force of innovation.The so-called innovation is to drag the shackles of traditional understanding and create something different.The current status quo is that enterprises and related research institutes are very passive. Under the constraints of funds, they can only study certain indicators or certain requirements issued by the above.Lack of autonomous initiative and autonomous creativity.

The solution to these problems is actually very simple, there are only two, the first one is to continue to increase investment in scientific research funds.The other is to abandon the original inherent rigid thinking and take the road of innovative research.From the original traditional field to the field of high-tech, high-tech weapons and equipment.These two are easy to say, but very difficult to do.Under the current circumstances, it is very difficult to increase funding for scientific research, and the country is not rich, so the amount of support available is very limited.As for the second item, the higher authorities have also begun to conduct research and thinking to see if it is possible to combine scientific research projects with the market economy and take a new path.

And borrowing the platform of this meeting, Jiang Chen also showed his sincerity. In fact, this is also the plan he has been preparing.He brought out a total of two projects for this meeting.The first project is that he plans to cooperate with relevant scientific research institutions in the next one or two years to jointly manufacture an information and data relay multi-purpose experimental satellite.In the future, there will be three such satellites, and then they will form a network together, which will cover most of the earth's surface and provide communication services for other related products and related users.Facing the huge order thrown by Jiang Chen, many units began to snap up, and even made a fuss at one point.In the end, after negotiations, the matter came to an end.Jiang Chen's father's Anxi Aeronautical Academy took over the project, and there was no way anyone could give them a geographical advantage.

The other project is also a satellite project.Jiang Chen proposed that a part of the funds would be invested to form a joint research project team with other relevant units to start the research work on the satellite navigation system.This war has allowed everyone to see the power of the GPS global satellite navigation system and the power of precision-guided weapons equipped with GPS.Therefore, if we want to realize the modernization of our independent weapons and equipment, then we must have an independent satellite navigation system, which is the necessary basis for our modern equipment.

As for Jiang Chen, he naturally knew the importance of the satellite navigation system, so taking this opportunity, Jiang Chen brought this matter up.Originally, I had reservations about participating in such sophisticated research when launching satellites by private companies.But now everyone has no money, and Jiang Chen and the others are rich, so after careful consideration, they agreed.And for the satellite navigation system, I also saw its great development prospects, so the old man personally named and inscribed this set of our own satellite navigation system.

Beidou, this is the name of our satellite navigation system, Mr. Hu said. Its meaning comes from the allusion that our ancient ancestors relied on the Beidou constellation to identify the direction.Jiang Chen was very excited when he heard the name. Finally, under his finger, our Beidou satellite navigation system project started ahead of schedule.
