The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

After the vigorous construction began, Zhang Zhipeng left the Gobi Desert and returned to Chang'an.

The construction period of this first controlled nuclear fusion power station was two and a half years.

Zhang Zhipeng couldn't stay there for long because there were still many things waiting for him to do.

The most important thing is that he is going to prepare to build a real Luanniao aerospace mothership.

If he doesn't personally push this matter forward, the country will not have much motivation.

Because it seems a little too advanced.

It's not even nearly as realistic as landing a man on the moon.

But Zhang Zhipeng wants to turn the impossible into possible!

He even wondered whether he should just build the Luanniao aerospace carrier in one go and use it to land on the moon. Wouldn't that be cooler?
Moreover, it is more shocking to the whole world and all mankind.

It was already December 2004.

In the past six months, China Aerospace has carried out three launches.

One time, they even created a rocket that sent three lunar satellites into orbit.

This technology has caused a sensation around the world.

Four lunar satellites have been launched.

These four satellites formed a survey network and began to survey the entire moon.

At the same time, China has announced plans to launch lunar rovers directly to the moon for ground surveys starting in 2004.

There was nothing special about launching a lunar rover because Big Bear and Yusa had already done it before.

Now, in fact, China's aerospace industry is very ambitious and is also planning an attempt: after the lunar rover completes its exploration and takes samples, it will see if it can return to the lunar orbit and transfer the lunar soil samples to the Earth returner in the lunar orbit.

If this first lunar exploration mission can complete the sampling and return, it will be enough to demonstrate the strength of China's aerospace technology.

Not long after Zhang Zhipeng returned to Chang'an, Chen Kainan rushed to see him.

As soon as they met, Chen Kainan smiled and congratulated Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, congratulations, controlled nuclear fusion will soon bear fruit."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "It's still early now. We have to wait until our first controlled nuclear fusion power station is built and runs smoothly. That will be the success of the first stage."

Chen Kainan said: "Although we have not announced to the public that we have achieved this major achievement of controlled nuclear fusion power generation, it has already spread all over the world!"

"By the way, when are we going to announce this important news?"

“It seems like the whole world is already looking forward to it.”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, let them pass it on."

"For such a significant achievement, it's still not shocking enough to just announce a preliminary result."

"If we're going to make an announcement, it's going to have to be some really big news!"

"Comrade Kainan came to see me at this time. Is there something important?"

Chen Kainan sighed and said, "Recently, Yusa has made some small moves again!"

"They started announcing huge sums of money and high salaries to recruit high-end talent from all over the world."

"They even offered us three times the salary."

"They also secretly contacted our technical backbones, hoping to attract our people to escape to their side."

"An incident happened a few days ago. One of our senior engineers was deceived and attempted to take a hard drive with a lot of top-secret information out of the country. Fortunately, the national security was quite effective, so a major loss was avoided."

"Comrade Zhipeng, I'm wondering if we should increase the salaries of scientific researchers so that they can have a better income."

"This will prevent them from being deceived."

Zhang Zhipeng frowned and said, "The treatment of our scientific research staff should be pretty good now, right?"

"At least, it should be 20 to 30 percent higher than the Lizard countries like Jusa."

China now attaches great importance to scientific researchers.

The salary offered was higher than that of Jusa.

Now, an ordinary basic science researcher in Jusa earns about $5 a month.

But now the US dollar has depreciated to the point where it is no longer in good shape.

Its value is almost the same as RMB.

Nowadays, basic scientific research personnel in China can get 5 RMB as soon as they start working, and there are also various benefits, such as housing, car subsidies, and meal subsidies.

The monthly salary of scientists who have achieved results is basically more than 15,000 RMB, and they will also receive huge scholarships after achieving results.

Scientists in China now live a much more comfortable life than those in Jusa.

Their income is at least 5 times higher than that of ordinary Chinese people! In addition, there are other bonus incomes.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to give scientific researchers a substantial salary increase again just because of Jusa's trouble and to use temporary small favors to attract profit-seeking people.

After all, society also needs to balance fairness, doesn't it?

Chen Kainan hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the information I have learned, Jusa currently offers an annual salary of one million dollars to outstanding scientists from all over the world."

"For particularly outstanding ones, the price can rise to $200 million or even more."

"I am worried that our important scientific researchers will not be able to resist the temptation."

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said, "If there really is someone who can't resist temptation, then I can only say that this person's IQ is not very good."

"Does Jusa have any credibility?"

"They never had any credibility, did they?"

"The reason they are offering such high salaries now is very simple. They are in a hurry. They want to try again to see if they can get a large number of outstanding talents and launch another Apollo program to achieve the moon landing before us."

"But now the Jusa industry is basically in decline."

“Jusa doesn’t even have an industrial chain anymore.”

"Even if they can trick a few talented people away, what effect will that have?"

"I don't mean to say that anyone who is tempted by Yusa's offer probably doesn't have a very good brain."

"Well, I think we should let our people publicize Jusa's past despicable behavior of breaking his promise."

“We must also do a good job of educating scientific researchers.”

"In addition, our moon landing plan must also begin to accelerate."

"Comrade Kainan, now that our lunar orbiting satellites have formed a network, I think we should also check carefully to see if there are any signs of manned lunar landings at the lunar landing sites that Yosa claimed in the past!"

"Go ahead! We are still too reserved."

"You are going against a villain. He has been using tricks and schemes against you all the time, and you are still trying to be a gentleman with him. This is simply ridiculous!"

"If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?"

Chen Kainan nodded and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, you are right."

"Ah! As soon as I saw them start playing tricks again and trying to poach our people, I got a little anxious."

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said, "Really, there's no need to rush. What are you rushing for?"

"Yosa is nothing but a clown now!"

"If Yusa offers even a little bit of benefit and someone is really attracted to it, I still say that it will just help us improve our scientific research team."

"Anyone who can decide to go to Jusa now is either stupid or evil!"

"This is exactly the same as the pot-throwing army in 1949."

……

Jusa, the White House.

The chieftain was talking to Nelson.

The chieftain was furious.

Because so many resources have been poured into it!

The Starship Heavy launch vehicle exploded again!

What is this thing called?

The whole country is trying its best, so why would problems still arise?
Why is rocket technology even worse than it was decades ago?

"Nelson, have you found out the cause? Why did our latest Starship launch vehicle explode again?" asked the big boss.

Nelson looked miserable. He scratched his head and said, "Sir, this is none of my business."

"I've tried my best!"

"I worked diligently and cautiously, working more than ten hours a day, coordinating with the contractors and warning them that they had to ensure the safety of the launch."

"But in the end, it still exploded."

"What good ideas can I come up with?" The chieftain glared at Nelson fiercely: "You, failed to play a supervisory role!"

"Those damn contractors must pay the heaviest price for their careless mistakes!"

Nelson spread his hands and said, "Sir, I can tell you responsibly that they have tried their best!"

"They accept the assignments and they don't even make any money."

"Those companies are all contributing to the glory of the motherland."

"The reason why the last launch exploded again was because there was a problem with our production chain."

"We can't even produce a decent rocket engine anymore."

"We basically buy our rocket engines from Big Bear."

"The main reason for the failure this time was a problem with the engine."

The chief was stunned.

He naturally knew that Jusa had been importing Big Bear engines since the early 90s.

The Big Bear's rocket engine is not only easy to use, but also very cheap, costing much less than if Jusa made it itself.

So, gradually, Jusa completely lost the production chain of rocket engines.

So far, Judea has no experience in the rocket engine production chain.

"Nelson, then, do you think that the big bear is deliberately bullying us?" asked the chief with a gloomy look on his face.

Nelson shook his head: "I don't know."

"There is a possibility."

"You know, there has always been a feud between us and Big Bear."

The chief frowned and asked, "Can't we take out the blueprints of our heavy rocket engines from the past and re-develop them regardless of the cost and price?"

Nelson hesitantly said, "Sir, the drawings have all been lost."

"By the time I took over NASA, the blueprints were long gone."

The chieftain has heard the report.

But he really found it a little unbelievable.

“Why was the most important blueprint lost?”

"This fully proves that many of us are neglecting our duties!"

"This behavior is a crime."

Nelson said weakly, "That's obviously none of my business."

"Sir, I think the most urgent thing is to solve the problem."

The big boss raised his hand in annoyance: "If we don't solve the attitude problem and the human problem, I think no matter how hard we try, we can't realize the moon landing plan!"

"Nelson, the other side has already developed controlled nuclear fusion. The gap between us is really too big!"

“I originally thought that as long as we get serious, we can show our true level!”

"Now it seems that this is just a good idea!"

"God! I really don't understand why we have become so lame?!"

The big boss felt that day after day, he couldn’t hear any good news!

He couldn't understand why Yusa had become what he is now.

Aren’t our elites the best in the world?

In the past, we could play with the whole world at our fingertips, why can't we do it now?

In the past, we had many great scientists, and there were hundreds of Nobel Prize winners alone.

But now, we can't even handle a small rocket engine!

What went wrong?

In fact, Jusa's technology is advanced and this is purely an illusion!
In the past, they could easily get the best talents from all over the world to work for them.

It is the outstanding talents from all over the world that make Jusa outstanding.

But later, Jusa began to build a financial empire.

All the smart people go into finance and become lawyers.

Basic scientific research is no longer valued.

Good people can't find suitable jobs.

Even if you find a job, the salary is not high.

In this situation, their scientific research quickly became utilitarian.

Moreover, Jusa is no longer tolerant. They have done many evil things, which has deterred talented people from the world.

Every result must have a cause that caused the change!
The big boss was a little overwhelmed and even began to become confused.

He originally thought that as long as Jusa increased the salary and launched a talent recruitment campaign against the whole world, a large number of talents would flock to it.

Of course, his target is actually the aerospace talents in the Panda family.

However, this talent invitation did not get the response he wanted.

There are really a lot of talented people coming here.

But they are all from India and other poor countries.

The people from these countries were not of much value to Jusa.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no aerospace talents coming from Panda Country.

However, what they want in Jusa is top-notch leading talents, the kind that can immediately transform Jusa Aerospace.

However, not even a single outstanding talent came.

Moreover, as other subordinates said, even if there are really outstanding talents from Panda, would Yousa really dare to entrust them with important tasks?
In fact, they are still quite fearful deep down in their hearts.

They are worried that the other party is not sincere in joining.

They are afraid that the other party will cause some damage.

Jusa, in fact, both his pattern and mind are quite narrow.

They don't trust others at all.

Therefore, their vigorous recruitment of talents now is a very divisive behavior.

……

Li Zhu is an engineer at China Aerospace.

The moment he saw the recruitment notice issued by Yusa, he was attracted.

How can I describe Li Zhu? He is the kind of person who is willing to degenerate.

He is not a good person. He likes to harass female colleagues and was once punished for spending money to find women.

Because of this incident, he felt that he was not free.

He even hated his own country.

Li Zhu had already planned to leave.

But he couldn't bear to give up his current job and treatment.

He knew that if he went to that low-class place, he would probably have trouble making a living.

For example, the first place he dreamed of going was Jusa.

But he knew that if he went to Jusa, he would not be able to continue his original career, and the people of Jusa would not hire him.

When Li Zhu saw Yusa recruiting talents, he did not hesitate at all.

He packed up immediately and used a passport with a fake name that he had prepared long ago, and he successfully left the country.

He only had a little cash with him, and he didn't have time to transfer his other property.

Li Zhu traveled a long distance by plane and arrived in Jusa.

After arriving, he immediately told the customs officers his identity and purpose.

He was quickly taken to NASA to meet Nelson.

Nelson was also very excited at first.

After all, this is the first Panda Aerospace engineer to come here. (End of this chapter)
