Chapter 49: Love has no boundaries; B-2 bomber, am I hallucinating?
It was exactly the same as the previous three times.
On the screen, there are densely packed compressed packages, each of which has an incredibly large capacity.
After a long silence, Zhang Yuli mechanically selected one of the compressed packages to download.
The progress bar above was jumping rapidly. If it weren't for the dedicated network of Xia Ke Institute, directly connected to the Da Xia network bandwidth server, it would probably take a while to download this compressed package alone.
Liu Zhixue pointed at the screen for a long time before saying in shock: "Did you really get the full set of B-2 bomber technology?"
"It's so simple..how long has it been?"
Liu Zhixue remembered that only two days had passed since the last time the mysterious organization sent an email saying that they had a "huge surprise" for Daxia.
How can this be considered stealing technology? Why does it feel like it's as simple as going home to eat?
None of them doubted the authenticity of the technology at all. Such doubt was simply an insult to the "mysterious organization."
"It seems that we have greatly underestimated the capabilities of the mysterious organization."
Zhang Yuli exclaimed: "It is most appropriate to describe this method as having great magical power."
He had previously used the term "supernatural powers" to describe it, but he was only using it to express that incredible emotion.
But now that he uses this word, does he really think that only gods can possess such means?
It is not an exaggeration to call the B2 bomber the most top-secret thing of the Eagle Sauce. In terms of number, there are only ten more than nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Even now that the Eagles have dismantled the B2 bomber production line, there will absolutely not be even one more in the future. It is very appropriate to describe it as "out of print", unlike the F22 fighter jet which is still in production and even being upgraded.
Its rarity is no less than any nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States. In this case, how could the mysterious organization get a complete set of technical drawings from the United States?
The difficulty of this is simply unimaginable for ordinary people.
This may require that the entire B2 bomber development team, from top to bottom, must be infiltrated in every link. What a terrifying method!
"Old Zhang, stop sighing over there." Zheng Lixing stood nearby and complained, "The mysterious organization over there is still waiting for our response."
"How much do you think the complete set of technology of this B-2 bomber is worth in terms of 'reward'?"
"This..." Hearing this, Zhang Yuli was speechless: "I don't know either."
Who knows how much the B2 bomber technical blueprints are worth? The research and development costs of this thing alone cost more than billion US dollars.
And this was more than 09 billion US dollars in the s and s. How many times would it have expanded if converted to today?
After thinking for a while, he typed a line and replied.
"We are very satisfied with this big surprise. Please tell us how much 'reward' your organization would like. We can meet your needs."
"Let them decide how much it wants." Zhang Yuli took a sip of the tea beside him and let out a long sigh.
This time, he still did not quote an exact price.
The reason was the same as the previous two times. They were not afraid that the number he reported was too high, but they were most afraid that the mysterious organization would complain that the "reward" was too low.
Therefore, no matter how much money they want, Daxia will definitely give it to them as long as we can.
Even if they were asked for a direct reward of 10 or 20 billion US dollars, Zhang Yuli would not even blink an eye, but would immediately notify the highest level to approve the transfer of funds, and then transfer the money to them in any designated way at the fastest speed.
"This method is appropriate." Zheng Lixing agreed.
Now, we are waiting for the reply from the mysterious organization.
A few minutes passed again before a new email came in.
[I don't want cash or any other equivalent payment. I still hope that Daxia can use another method to pay.]
"May I ask what method is it? As long as it is within the capabilities of our Great Xia, we will do our best."
After Zhang Yuli replied, he frowned and muttered, "Another payment method?"
"Will it be the same as last time? Will they continue to build a thousand schools in the Northwest Province?"
"We still need to build schools? Northwest Province is currently lacking more teachers." Zheng Lixing shook his head: "Even if we build thousands or even more schools, it won't be effective now."
When it comes to basic education, school construction can only solve part of the urgent problem.
Even though Daxia has been improving the salary levels of teachers in the northwestern provinces, as some of the least developed provinces, many teachers still go to teach in mountainous areas, and recruitment is not as easy as imagined.
The subsidies you give are indeed quite a lot, and can even be said to be comparable to the salary levels in many second-tier cities or even first-tier cities. However, there are no roads, let alone any entertainment activities. Do you expect all teachers to be selfless "saints"? This is obviously unrealistic.
In the long run, it is always necessary to cultivate local teaching resources so that we can develop healthily and vigorously.
Soon, the email was replied.
[I think this B2 bomber technology can be exchanged for a 'reward' of billion US dollars. ]
"Daxia has no objection. Five billion US dollars is completely acceptable." Zhang Yuli quickly wrote a line of text.
Can he exchange 2 billion US dollars for B- bomber technology? He said he was willing to do this kind of good deal a hundred times until Daxia's foreign exchange reserves were completely emptied.
"It seems that the person behind the mysterious organization is now communicating with us." Zheng Lixing guessed.
"That should be the case. The alias in the email has changed again." Zhang Yuli nodded in agreement.
Previously, the term "they" was always used, but when it came to the crucial stage of remuneration, the term "he" was used again.
This is consistent with common logical reasoning. No matter how you think about it, you can't let your subordinates do this kind of thing. You have to negotiate it in person.
Followed by.
[I hope that Daxia will use 5 billion US dollars to provide a study subsidy program for all primary and secondary school students in Northwest Province.]
【They will be given some reduction or free of charge in terms of accommodation, food, clothing, etc.】
[The entire amount will be carried out as a short-term plan, expected to be five years. ]
[In the future, this plan will become a long-term plan and will be implemented nationwide.] "Hiss, a subsidy plan for all primary and secondary school students in the province? And it's only for five years?"
Zhang Yuli took a breath of cold air.
Although he had already vaguely guessed what this "mysterious organization" was going to do, he did not expect their courage to be so terrifying.
This is 5 billion US dollars, a huge amount of 35 billion RMB, all used to aid primary and secondary school students in the northwestern province?
"Old Zhang, I remember that there are only a little over 6 million primary and secondary school students in Northwest Province, right?"
Zheng Lixing quickly calculated a detailed figure: "35 billion for five years, an average subsidy of nearly 1,100 yuan per person per year?"
"This number is really quite a lot."
Considering the current prices in the summer of 09, a subsidy of three yuan per day is already very considerable. Nowadays, the price of pork is generally only more than four yuan per pound.
With this money, many children can have meat and milk for breakfast and lunch, and there will even be a lot of money left over.
"May I ask how we can provide assistance this time?" Zhang Yuli did not say much, but replied silently.
After all, this kind of aid cannot be carried out in the name of Daxia, otherwise other provinces will have objections.
The Northwest Province needs subsidies, but don’t other backward provinces need them? Even the southern provinces of Daxia have large areas of underdeveloped areas.
Other provinces would not know that these things were all obtained in exchange for the "rewards" of the mysterious organization, and they would only feel that Daxia was unfair.
So this time, they must have a legitimate way to do it.
The reply came quickly.
【Then we can call it the funds donated by a "caring citizen", and the full name can be "Caring Citizen Student Subsidy Program". 】
Look at this line in the email.
"Pfft, does this mysterious organization have any special interest in the name 'Enthusiastic Citizens'?" Liu Zhixue curled his lips.
Why did he remember that when they first contacted each other, the other party also asked him to call himself a "caring citizen"?
However, judging from their behavior on these two occasions, the mysterious organization is indeed worthy of the title.
'We will come up with a charter as soon as possible and implement your request as quickly as possible.'
After Zhang Yuli finished replying, he sat on the chair and sighed, "It seems that the leader of this mysterious organization has a very deep affection for Northwest Province, and even has a very good impression of the entire Daxia."
"We haven't done enough to make these people suffer."
Didn’t the education department notice that many students in Northwest China were in difficult circumstances? Even Zhang Yuli, the president of Xiake Institute, was aware of this.
But it’s not that we don’t know these things, but that we simply cannot do them. The Northwestern Province has a total education budget of more than 3 billion yuan a year, and the salaries of many rural teachers have to be paid once every six months. How can we subsidize them?
How many impoverished mountainous areas are there in Daxia? How many impoverished counties are there? Are we neglecting one while focusing on the other?
"It will be fine in a few years." Zheng Lixing patted him on the shoulder: "When the fiscal revenue increases, there will naturally be money to subsidize it."
The fiscal revenue of Daxia is not much nowadays, and being able to provide nine years of compulsory education is already the limit that can be afforded.
After all, apart from education, isn't scientific research important? Isn't supporting the development of various industries important? Isn't road construction important? Or aren't major military projects and military expenditures important? Each one is important, so every Daxia must be calculated carefully.
However, the mysterious organization did not have these concerns. After all, the "remuneration" was their own money, and Da Xia would have no objection to how they wanted to spend it.
"Xiao Liu, go and notify the top leaders first." Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then said, "I will submit a plan in the next two days, and then implement it according to the mysterious organization's requirements."
"Okay, Dean." Liu Zhixue nodded and walked out of the room quickly.
As the external liaison of the special secret group, his responsibility is to communicate both upward and downward.
Watching his figure gradually going away, Zheng Lixing vaguely remembered something: "Lao Zhang, what should we do with this B-2 bomber technology?"
As mentioned earlier, the B-2 bomber is too expensive.
Even if they could afford it, Daxia probably couldn't afford it in its current situation. With a military budget of 2 billion per year, what's the point of playing with a B- bomber? Which air force can afford this living father?
Both of them are very clear about this.
"We already have the technology, so we can't not develop it." Zhang Yuli paused for a moment and said, "It's just that we don't have to develop the B-2 bomber."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Zheng Lixing's eyes lit up: "The H-20 that is about to be launched?"
Zhang Yuli nodded: "We can learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. This way, the development time of the H-20 project will be greatly shortened, and the manufacturing unit price can also be controlled."
"It's time to officially launch the H-20 project."
The best option is to absorb the advantages of the B-2 bomber to develop Daxia's H-20 project.
"Then I have to inform Duan Fei right away."
Zheng Lixing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If he heard this news, I'm afraid he would collapse three feet high."
In Chang'an, the 603 Institute is commonly known as "Xifei".
This is an important research and development and manufacturing base for Daxia to develop bombers, transport aircraft, civil aircraft, etc. Many bombers including the H-6 are also the research and development results of the 603 Institute.
At this moment, it is late at night.
A middle-aged man with a slightly thin appearance and wearing black-framed glasses was woken up by an emergency call and looked confused.
"Mr. Zheng, what did you say? What bomber?"
He suspected that he didn't hear it clearly just now, otherwise how could such an outrageous thing happen?
"Duan Fei, hurry up and come to Yanjing." Zheng Lixing's voice revealed excitement: "This time it's not only about the H-20 bomber, but also about the B-2 bomber. Come here on a special plane immediately."
"???"
Duan Fei suspected that he was hallucinating because he was too excited, otherwise how could he suddenly hear the name of the B2 bomber?
How about sleeping a little longer? This dream is so exciting.
(PS: The author is not from the northwest, so don’t guess. He just thought that the northwest was the best entry point at the time, so he chose this place. The future development will definitely be nationwide, but it has to be done slowly, just like the national poverty alleviation, it has to be solved one place at a time.)
