The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master

Chapter 1245 You have anti-satellite and I also have anti-satellite

Xing Muchun came from a Rockets career, so he knew some of the twists and turns involved.

I quickly realized that my previous thoughts were a little off track—

Although there is competition in many fields between the east and west ends of the Pacific, as two of the five permanent members, we still have to maintain a superficial situation of fighting but not breaking.

Therefore, communication channels similar to "hotlines" are set up between corresponding agencies such as NASA and the China Space Administration, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Jun Committee.

Therefore, Xing Muchun subconsciously thought at first that Chang Haonan was talking about notifying the United States of the news through this channel.

Unexpectedly, the latter had the intention of laying a minefield for the opponent.

It can only be said that there are still some differences in the way of thinking between the aerospace system and the military industry system...

"You mean... announcing this news publicly?"

"Of course."

Chang Haonan immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"But…"

Due to professional habits, although Xing Muchun understood the other party's purpose, he still felt it was a bit inappropriate.

But the other end of the receiver quickly continued:

"Actually, my original intention is to resolve this possible crisis through communication and cooperation... But you just said that even if we communicate the relevant risks through private channels, the other party will not be able to stop. In that case, don't Why not take advantage of the other party's mentality..."

Xing Muchun was stunned.

He hadn't yet figured out the feasibility of the other party's plan, so why in the blink of an eye did he seem to have led Mr. Chang astray?

Finally decided to change the topic:

"Ahem...if it's an open channel, it wouldn't be difficult."

"I also heard this morning that after NASA held a press conference yesterday, many media immediately called our National Space Administration to ask our opinion on this matter. I guess there will be a press conference next time. When the time comes, there will definitely be reporters who have good things to ask, so just find an opportunity to expose them.”

But this time, Chang Haonan did not respond immediately.

After about half a minute, he spoke again:

"In this matter, I prefer not to involve the space agency deeply... It is best for the Ministry of Defense to take part."

"Um?"

Xing Muchun, who was about to tighten the pen cap, paused, and then quickly wrote down this sentence on the paper.

But looking at the action, there is still some hesitation:

"But Mr. Chang, this situation generally follows the principle of reciprocity, and if it is announced by the military propaganda agency... it will inevitably involve the relatively sensitive issue of space militarization. The superiors..."

As an experienced deputy chief engineer, Xing Muchun also considers issues quite comprehensively.

However, he did not understand the background of some things.

Chang Haonan was really inconvenient to say it clearly, so he had to say it in a commanding tone first.

"Don't worry about this. Just report it as I just said...I'm at least 90% sure that the superiors will agree."

"yes!"

When Xing Muchun saw this, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately expressed his position.

After the successful test-firing of the superb verification bomb, Chang Haonan's reputation among the entire project team has reached its peak.

Many times, even without explanation, you can convince the other party 100%.

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a moment, and after making sure that there was nothing he missed, he turned and left the study.

In the kitchen downstairs, Yao Mengna was wearing an apron and preparing breakfast.

The nature of her work is similar to that of Chang Haonan, and she rarely went into the kitchen in the past. Although it can be seen that she has learned a lot, she is still in a hurry due to lack of experience.

When the latter came to the kitchen door, he happened to see the newlywed wife cracking two eggs into the pot, and then subconsciously avoided the splashing oil stars.

Chang Haonan was amused by the other party's slightly clumsy movements, then rolled up his sleeves and walked in.

As a result, the senior sister who took two steps back just bumped into her arms.

"Did you finish the phone call?"

Yao Mengna did not look back and stared intently at the omelette being formed in front of her.

"Well, I may have to write a written opinion later, but there's no rush for this..."

Chang Haonan said and came to the stove, ready to take the chopsticks from the other party's hand.

But Yao Mengna was obviously not ready to give up just like that: "What are you doing..."

Chang Haonan patted his senior sister on the shoulder:

"Go ahead and chop the vegetables. It won't look good if your hands get burned..."

The latter pursed his lips and followed the instructions and walked to the other side of the U-shaped stove.

Whether intentionally or not, the moment he turned around, he gently touched Chang Haonan's lower abdomen with the full moon behind him...

…

On the other side, according to Chang Haonan's instructions, Xing Muchun completed a report almost all night long.

Although it was too late to conduct a detailed calculation of the results, from an empirical perspective, we listed in detail the anti-satellite tests conducted by China, the United States and the Soviet Union in the past few decades to illustrate the risks involved.

Finally, it was concluded that even if the other party's interception behavior cannot be prevented, countries around the world should be vaccinated in advance from the perspective of international morality and responsibility.

Early the next morning, the report was handed over to the external liaison department.

Although he is also a senior designer of the Aerospace Technology Group, he does not have the special authority like Chang Haonan to write materials directly to Tianting.

However, this matter was indeed of great importance, so after reporting it step by step, it was sent to the highest decision-making level by Li Zhongyi.

But the chief didn’t even open the cover of the folder and asked directly:

"I guess... the content in this report should be Comrade Haonan's intention, right?"

Before entering this time, Li Zhongyi had anticipated many questions that he might be asked.

But I didn't expect it to unfold like this.

So much so that I didn’t know how to answer for a while:

"this…"

Fortunately, he responded quickly:

"The report itself is signed by the hypersonic weapon research project team as a whole. The meaning in it... does have some characteristics of Academician Chang, but from the way of writing, it is obviously the style of the Rocket Research Institute, so it should be temporary "

The chief just asked casually, so he didn't dwell on it too much. He put on his glasses and said with a smile:

"This wedding leave has only lasted for less than ten days...he can't sit still."

Then open the report and read to the end at the speed of ten lines at a glance.

I only stayed on the last two pages for a relatively long time.

Then, there was a long silence.

It wasn't until Li Zhongyi felt a little out of breath that the leader raised his head again:

"Let's do it this way... You tell the space agency not to respond directly to this matter for the time being. After the military holds a press conference next week, we will inform NASA of our attitude and reminder as usual. ”

"I still have to do the work for the sake of appearance..."

The former immediately stood up and stood at attention:

"yes!"

However, the chief waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down first:

"One more thing."

Li Zhongyi quickly sat down again, pretending to be waiting for instruction.

"How are the preparations for Aerospace Science and Industry's Kinetic-1 anti-satellite weapon being prepared?"

Although he was confused by this sudden question, he quickly answered:

"The orbit design and interception control system have been completed. The interception warhead and new solid rocket motor are still in the final testing stage. If everything goes well, it is expected to be launched from the second half of this year to the beginning of next year."

"Um…"

The chief nodded with satisfaction, but then changed the subject:

"The Kinetic Energy 1 project is, of course, mainly responsible for the research and development needs of the interception warhead. There may be a relatively large adjustment after the US anti-satellite test. Regarding this, you need to inoculate the R&D personnel."

Li Zhongyi suddenly looked shocked when he heard this instruction.

But the discipline he had developed over a long period of time still prevented him from really asking.

But this time, the chief took the initiative to explain:

"The hidden meaning of this report is to create a good public opinion space for our anti-satellite testing..."

“…”

Li Zhongyi frowned at first, and then finally showed a look of understanding:

"Understood…"

"It seems that this is really Academician Chang's style of conduct..."
