“Wouldn’t the first-generation product also work?”
Zhang Jun was a little reluctant. Active equipment must not be exported. This is a rule. Therefore, once it passes the test and approval and is officially installed in the army, it must not be exported again.
"This will be submitted to the military and other relevant departments for evaluation. They will compare and test the performance of the first-generation and second-generation products. If there is not much difference in technology, export will definitely not be allowed," Wu Hao said.
explained.
Zhang Jun nodded slightly, and then said to Wu Hao: "To be honest, if it were not for the sense of responsibility and patriotism, I would rather these two weapons and equipment not pass the test and approval. In this way, the military will not purchase them.
, and we can also be free from such constraints and invest our energy in developing overseas arms markets.
Although we will lose orders from the military, the huge profits from overseas markets are enough to make up for this loss, and even make us make a lot of money."
"You are right, but there are no ifs. The first thing we must serve is our country and our army. This is our obligation and responsibility, which none of us can avoid, let alone refuse.
Money is important, but there are many things more important than money, which cannot be measured or compared with money." Wu Hao put away his smile and said seriously to Zhang Jun.
Looking at Wu Hao's serious expression, Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly and said: "I know, I'm just making a metaphor and complaining. In this regard, I will always stick to the bottom line and adhere to principles."
After hearing Zhang Jun's words, Wu Hao nodded and said: "This time I went to the northwest R&D base and saw our 'Xingtian' mecha. This project is progressing well. The first prototype has been released. They are on site
You demonstrated it to me and the mecha performed perfectly. I think you will be surprised after seeing it."
"Oh, really?" After hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun immediately became interested. On the one hand, mechas are a man's dream, but any man with a strong temper will not be uninterested in this thing.
Is this the second one? This project is also one of the key confidential projects carried out by Haoyu Technology. After investing so much in these years, it finally has results, which naturally makes Zhang Jun very excited.
Wu Hao nodded and said: "The close contact on site and watching the test video are two completely different feelings. The powerful sense of deterrence and oppression that the mecha exuded during the demonstration made everyone at the scene feel excited.
deep impression."
"According to what you said, I regret not going to the northwest with you." Zhang Jun said regretfully.
Wu Hao heard Zhang Jun's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future."
After a word of comfort, Wu Hao continued: "The project R&D team hopes that we can build a large indoor test field in the northwest. This mecha is too big and the current indoor test field cannot meet this demand.
I asked people to conduct some research, and it is true that our indoor testing ground in the northwest is too small. Some of the large equipment products we have there cannot be tested indoors and can only be tested in the open air."
When he heard that it would cost money again, Zhang Jun couldn't help but feel pain in his body, and then asked him: "Isn't it okay to test it outdoors? Many weapons and equipment were tested in the open air before, and there were no problems. Why did they do it?
I'm thinking about going to see a large indoor test site. Is this a spur-of-the-moment idea, or is it a long-planned plan to ask you for scientific research funding?"
What Zhang Jun said was true. Indeed, many people had used this method to ask for scientific research funds from him. But in the end, they did not succeed. Although Wu Hao agreed on the spot, the entire fund allocation needed to go through the company's technology and
The expert committee and the financial department jointly conducted a review, which was finally signed and confirmed by Wu Hao.
So this funding was eventually rejected by the financial department. And with Zhang Jun's support, the funding review began to become more and more strict.
Of course, being strict does not mean that funds will be cut or compressed, but rather that they will be controlled so that these funds can be used rationally, and every penny will be spent effectively to avoid wastage of funds and resources.
Wu Hao is naturally very supportive of this. The company is rich and provides scientific researchers with an excellent scientific research environment and sufficient funds and resources. But this does not mean that you can waste it without restraint. This is never allowed.
of.
They are an enterprise, and what the enterprise pursues is profit. Therefore, for them, waste is absolutely not allowed, let alone running it to make money and corruption.
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I have done my own research and found that this large indoor testing ground is still very necessary.
On the one hand, there are many scientific research departments and laboratories needed. We have investigated multiple laboratories and scientific research project groups, and everyone has demands in this regard.
On the other hand, this is also for the sake of confidentiality. Some of the technologies, equipment and related equipment products we have developed at this stage need to be kept confidential during the research and development stage.
For outdoor open-air testing, it is difficult to maintain confidentiality and it will be easy to be discovered. Even if we are not discovered, the hundreds of reconnaissance satellites above our heads are flying overhead at all times. According to the accuracy of current advanced optical reconnaissance satellites,
Those big guys simply cannot avoid detection from space.
This last step is needed for scientific research and testing. You also know that the natural environment next door in the northwest desert is harsh, with sandstorms, strong winds, and some blizzards and other extreme natural weather often occurring.
As for these weapons, equipment and equipment, the products are still relatively fragile during the research and development stage and will certainly not be able to adapt to testing in such a harsh natural environment.
Therefore, such a large-scale indoor test field is still needed for early testing, and in the later stage, some outdoor open-air testing can be carried out.”
Hearing Wu Hao's introduction, Zhang Jun nodded and said: "I'm not stingy, but I think it's better to be more cautious about such a project. I'm not against it, I just think that such a project should not be launched hastily. Before launching,
Sufficient verification must be carried out to avoid being idle after completion, or the utilization rate is not high, resulting in a waste of resources.
This is also a loss for us.
For this project, since our potential customer is the military, can we cooperate with the military? They must have a large indoor test field in this area."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "I have thought about this, but this large indoor test site is not meant to only serve this one project. It will also serve other scientific research projects in the future. We can't bother the military every time, right?
.
Besides, the cost of building such a large indoor test field is not expensive, we just need a house with a large enough roof."
