Chapter Thirteen: Central Mother's Broadcast! World-Leading Level!
“Our station reports that on the 15th of this month, a new generation of rocket launchers independently developed by our country successfully crossed the storm center, real-time detecting the structure and intensity of the storm center, among other scientific data.”
“This experiment is a model of military-civilian integration, particularly in the combination of weather disaster reduction applications, and is an exploratory attempt to innovate and improve meteorological capabilities.”
“At the same time, it also marks our country’s rocket launchers reaching the world’s leading level.”
.....
After watching this news segment on Central Mother’s broadcast, even with prior preparation, Han Cai Jin was taken aback by Chen Jin Chao.
No wonder he asked him to watch tonight’s Central Mother’s broadcast; it turns out that after disappearing for half a year, he had done something big again!
As a bigwig in the materials field, Han Cai Jin, although not particularly knowledgeable about specific weapons and equipment, could decipher Chen Jin Chao’s brilliance from his political sensitivity.
Being on Central Mother’s broadcast, with the phrase ‘world-leading level’ used, and the feat being the storm center, he could feel the thrill from the story even without knowing the whole picture.
Half a year ago, he said to himself, “Let’s see what kind of tricks this kid can pull off.” Who could have guessed that this kid’s surprises would come so suddenly, so grandly!
He really did launch a big satellite!
Han Cai Jin had just shown a smile of delight when his phone rang. He glanced at the number and it was Chen Jin Chao calling.
“I just watched Central Mother’s broadcast, good boy….”
Before Han Cai Jin could express his joy, Chen Jin Chao interrupted, “Principal Han, does our school have any land left?”
“???”
“My military self-research group has reached a cooperation with Jiang Shan Heavy Industry. We decided to jointly establish an engine laboratory, planning to place it next to our school. Does our school have any land next to it?”
“!!!!!!!!”
Heaven knows the burden these waves of surprise, one after another, placed on Han Cai Jin’s heart.
How in the world did he pull this off?!
Han Cai Jin immediately guessed the essence of the matter and internally complained.
But why call it a pull-off?
This is a reward Chen Jin Chao earned through his own abilities!
Pulling back time to the day of the successful test firing, after the test firing ended, that Chief of Staff, who had a general’s star on his shoulder, patted Chen Jin Chao’s shoulder and praised him repeatedly.
He also told Chen Jin Chao, not once but twice, to feel free to ask for anything he needed in terms of research.
Chen Jin Chao, without hesitation, asked.
He first wanted to personally keep the world’s first Guardian…but was refused.
Then he said that his military self-research group wanted a separate wind tunnel…again refused.
He was refused so many times that even the Chief of Staff felt embarrassed.
Just as Chen Jin Chao said he wanted an engine research project, the Chief of Staff practically agreed on the spot.
This is how the cooperation between Jiang Shan Heavy Industry Group and Chen Jin Chao’s military self-research project came to be.
Although it was called a cooperation, it was actually half-selling, half-gifting the research and subsidiary channels of Jiang Shan Heavy Industry Group’s engines to Chen Jin Chao’s self-research team.
The future earnings of Chen Jin Chao’s self-research team on the Guardian new rocket launcher would be converted into resources and cash through Jiang Shan Heavy Industry Group and then added to the engine research project.
Jiang Shan Heavy Industry Group, at that moment, didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
On one hand, they felt sorry for their engine project they had been saving up for so long, but on the other hand, they felt they hadn’t lost.
Lost your ass!
Chen Jin Chao, who was only allowed an engine laboratory that could be considered a good level, cursed inside.
If it weren’t for his great ideal of the military industrial cluster’s rise, he could have driven the Guardian to block the front door of Jiang Shan Heavy Industry Group.
It’s…strengthened?
A small military self-research group already has an engine laboratory?!
No matter how big or small the project is, after listening to the whole story, Han Cai Jin was amazed.
A student studio that didn’t have even a professor, a mentor, a Party secretary, or a national advanced scholar…without spending a penny of the school’s funds, it actually took off? It instantly expanded in scale?
How could this not be surprising.
Besides being on Central Mother’s news broadcast and gaining an engine laboratory, Chen Jin Chao became famous overnight because of the Guardian’s debut.
At least in the field of army equipment, many veteran bigwigs heard his name.
The specific parameters of the Guardian rocket launcher were not revealed due to subsequent secondary tests, production outfitting, and other factors.
But because of the scene that day, which was truly soul-stirring, and the information wasn’t subject to confidentiality restrictions, it was embellished by various rumors, making it seem earth-shattering.
Many people heard that a student from Harbin Institute of Technology had actually modified a world-class rocket launcher and even used it to bombard a storm…
Northern Industries, which also researched and produced rocket launchers, was stunned.
Although they didn’t know whether these rumors were true or not, the notice from the Army Equipment Department—to suspend research and production—was real, goddamn it!
“How is that possible?!”
“A rocket launcher with a range of over 300 kilometers, twice the range of our 03-style rocket launcher? You’re kidding, right?”
“How can that even be called a rocket launcher?!”
