Department Nine, Satellite Research Institute.
Shu Xingbei, Wang Can, and other researchers are having a meeting.
"Everyone, please speak freely. Feel free to share your thoughts."
Shu Xingbei spoke cheerfully, steam rising from the enamel mug he was carrying.
The support these nine organizations provided to the research institute was unparalleled.
While other departments were still relying on opening windows to cool off, they already had air conditioning here.
It's scorching hot outside, but it feels like autumn inside.
However, for an elderly man like him, his body couldn't take it.
Sure enough, my hands unconsciously rested on the jar, and the warmth traveled through my palms into my body, making my heart feel warm too.
After Shu Xingbei finished speaking, both the people at the satellite research institute and the people using satellite phones smiled happily.
Being able to sit here already exceeds their expectations for life.
A stable job, a stable yet meaningful job, a stable, meaningful, and respectable job—that's what I need.
A job that allows them to apply what they have learned and realize their ambitions.
What more could they possibly want?
If there is anything to be gained, it is to do more meaningful things.
That is to dedicate one's entire life to this place.
After Professor Shu Xingbei finished speaking, Wang Can, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "Speak up if you have any thoughts."
"I've heard that the Computer Research Institute and the Computer Science Research Institute next door have already come up with their New Year plans."
"That's right, it was the 76 plan, which directly approved two million in research funding for General Manager Yang."
"And there's the newly established 18th Institute. Although they're newcomers, they're very strong."
"The PCR machine has started integrating with the new computer, tsk tsk."
The clicking sound made everyone's hearts itch with anticipation.
As the head of the Ninth Department and also the head of the Ninth Department's Research Institute, Yang Xiaotao established a special research fund for the institute's projects.
They didn't know how much money there was, not even Ye Lao and Han Sanfeng.
But as long as Yang Xiaotao approves it, the money will appear on the research institute's financial statements, and no one dares to do anything wrong.
In short, all that's needed is for Yang Xiaotao to agree.
This can be considered a unique feature of the Nine Departments.
After a moment of silence, Liu Qing, deputy director of the Satellite Research Institute, remarked with emotion, "It is said that General Manager Yang directly approved a research grant of one million yuan, which was deposited into the account yesterday."
"It is said that Director Lu laughed so hard that his teeth were showing, and a group of young people were jumping around in the office, having a great time."
"My God, if this were at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, let alone a million, even if it were just 100,000, it would still take half a year to get the order."
Liu Qing was filled with envy, and the other people who had transferred from the Chinese Academy of Sciences beside him were equally envious.
While I was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I received many honors and my work was generally satisfactory.
But that depends on who you're comparing it to.
With these nine departments, there's no need to worry about other messy things. With President Yang and the nine departments around, no one will dare to be disrespectful.
Because those who lacked foresight were sent to the southwest and northwest to build the revolution.
The only thing to do here is to showcase your talents.
No talent?
Then learn from talented and capable people.
There's nothing shameful about that.
Even someone as amazing as Mr. Yang has teachers, so what are they compared to him?
"Alright, stop envying others. As long as we come up with a good research direction, we can also apply for funding."
Shu Xingbei interrupted the sour remarks and changed the subject to the present.
Shu Xingbei glanced at everyone, placed the enamel mug in front of him, and then said, "Since you're not saying anything, let me talk about satellite phones first."
"Based on the previous advice given by General Manager Yang, what we need to do next is mobile communications. Satellite phones are certainly good, but they have too many limitations."
"According to General Manager Yang's vision, we will develop regional mobile communications based on the current foundation."
Everyone nodded silently, as this was part of their plan. However, Shu Xingbei's next words put a lot of pressure on them.
"Given our current production situation, I think we should upgrade the technical requirements originally planned."
"For example, with the batteries we use, since we have better lithium batteries, why not use them?"
"Furthermore, the operating frequency of multi-carrier technology also needs to be increased."
"And the most crucial technology is cellular technology, which needs to maximize coverage."
As Professor Shu Xingbei delivered his opinions one by one, everyone present lowered their heads to take notes, but their hearts were heavy with emotion.
If we continue researching in this direction, it won't be something that can be accomplished in a year or two; it's definitely a huge project.
But then again, if it weren't for a big project, what would they be doing here?
Are you just here to eat?
Once everyone started thinking about it, they were immediately filled with enthusiasm.
That's all I can think of for now!
Teacher Shu Xingbei picked up the enamel mug again and said, "In the past two years, we have seen that the domestic economy has developed rapidly. After the problem of food for ordinary people is solved, more demand will definitely be generated. Social development also requires the rapid transmission of information."
"Our work is very meaningful, and everyone must take it seriously."
Everyone nodded again, memorizing the notes in their notebooks, and planning to integrate them to come up with a new plan later.
Seeing that there were already results from satellite phones, Wang Can couldn't sit still any longer and started calling on people to give their opinions.
“Professor Shu, Director Wang, I think our research and development focus should be on satellite recovery.”
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Qing suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, both Shu Xingbei and Wang Can's eyes lit up.
Everyone present was shocked.
Wang Can laughed and said, "Old Liu, stop hiding it and tell us quickly."
Liu Qing smiled, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Professor Shu, Director Wang, and everyone else, you all know what I did at the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, right?"
"I'm not going to be coy anymore, I'll just say it directly."
Everyone present burst into laughter, and then Liu Qing said, "I used to be in charge of satellite recovery at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but in recent years, most of them were sent into space, and I haven't actually recovered any from space."
After he said that, everyone laughed again.
Let me explain why.
Liu Qing didn't need to prepare a draft; all those things were already in his head. He casually replied, "There are many benefits to recovering satellites."
"The first one is to reduce the cost of spaceflight, since these satellites are reusable."
"If we can't use them, these satellites contain a lot of rare metals, alloys, and fuel. We're not big spenders like the Alliance and the United States; we have to save where we can."
Shu Xingbei and Wang Can both nodded. If they could recover the satellite, the cost could be reduced by half. The Ninth Department's money didn't come easily, so they should save money wherever possible.
"Secondly, we can conduct experiments on new technologies on satellites to promote technological innovation and development."
"Sometimes when we send a satellite up, we're basically in the dark. As long as it meets the requirements, that's fine."
"But we have no idea about changes in materials, machine performance, whether it works well or not, or whether there are any problems."
"If we can recover them, it will be of great significance to our subsequent research."
At this point, Liu Qing added with a smile, "If I remember correctly, the last Alliance launch failure was due to a material problem, and this problem has not been properly resolved to this day. This serves as a reminder that we cannot rely on past achievements and must continuously explore new materials."
Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their strong support.
"The third one, of course, is to lay the groundwork for scientific research."
"As everyone knows, some experiments are more convenient in the microgravity environment of space than on Earth."
"By the way, President Yang mentioned last time that he wanted to cultivate corn in space. If it really succeeds, maybe we can find a higher-yielding grain." As he said this, a glint of gold appeared in Liu Qing's eyes.
Mr. Yang's Yangcun No. 1 directly laid the foundation for his achievements in agriculture, and this is also the greatest protection for Mr. Yang.
At the same time, it also elevated General Manager Yang's authority in agriculture to a convincing level.
Since Mr. Yang has said so, there must be no problem.
The others nodded silently. Having spent a long time in the Ninth Department, they all understood one thing: whatever General Manager Yang asked them to do, they had to do their best, because doing so could lead to success.
"The last little bit."
Liu Qing's expression suddenly became serious. "We can study manned spaceflight engineering through satellite recovery."
"Although we do not yet have manned spaceflight capabilities, it does not mean that we do not need them. In the future, we will definitely have a place in space."
"This is our historical responsibility."
After Liu Qing finished speaking, Wang Can immediately stood up and applauded vigorously.
Then applause filled the entire conference room.
This left Liu Qing somewhat at a loss.
He had only intended to mention it briefly, but he hadn't expected everyone present to be so accommodating.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, the door opened and a young man walked in, laughing as he went.
Everyone turned their heads to look when they heard the voice, and the person who came in was Yang Xiaotao.
After returning from General Peng's place, Yang Xiaotao went straight to the Satellite Research Institute.
I didn't expect to run into a meeting at the institute. Then I heard applause coming from inside, so I figured it must be over and pushed the door open to come in.
"Mr. Yang."
Everyone stood up to greet Yang Xiaotao as he entered.
Shu Xingbei and Wang Can walked up to him and said, "President Yang, what brings you here, you busy man?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Shu Xingbei, "Teacher Shu, aren't you going to school to teach?"
"Go ahead, but if Lao Qian is going today, I won't go."
Shu Xingbei chuckled, and Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up. "What are we going to talk about today, teacher?"
"Advanced mathematics, waverider bodies."
Wang Can added from the side, and Yang Xiaotao immediately became interested, deciding to go listen after he finished his business here.
The next second, Yang Xiaotao leaned closer and whispered, "The one from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry didn't come?"
"coming."
Wang Can knew immediately who they were talking about. Who else could it be but Old Wang who came to freeload off the air conditioning?
"I knew it, this old guy is practically making this place his home."
"How about we just give him a vice president position?"
Yang Xiaotao complained a couple of times, he was really afraid of Old Wang.
Wang Can laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I think it's a good idea. We'll let Old Ran lead the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry then."
"Cough cough."
Yang Xiaotao coughed twice. This matter must not be spread, otherwise what will outsiders think?
Moreover, Comrade Lao Ran could actually rush into the courtyard and give him a long lecture.
What are you doing?
Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and asked.
Shu Xingbei asked Yang Xiaotao to sit down. Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Can pointed to Liu Qing and said, "Just now, Lao Liu suggested the next research direction for our institute."
"Old Liu, you tell me yourself."
Wang Can gave Liu Qing a look, signaling him to seize the opportunity.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Qing, knowing his background.
He was the kind of person at the Chinese Academy of Sciences who worked diligently and conscientiously, seeking neither fame nor fortune, but simply wanting a stable job.
But they are truly capable.
He had studied in the United States in his early years, and later proved his loyalty in the research on Dongfanghong, after which he joined the Ninth Research Institute.
"Mr. Yang."
Liu Qing stood up to speak, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "Engineer Liu, don't get up, let's sit down and talk."
"I'd also like to hear your insights."
Liu Qing smiled, then sat down, leaning forward and saying, "President Yang, we were just discussing the satellite recovery project."
As Liu Qing recounted the story, Yang Xiaotao's smile grew wider and wider.
Those who had been watching Yang Xiaotao's expression all started to laugh, and the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became much more relaxed.
"That concludes our discussion."
Liu Qing didn't say it was his own idea in the end, but instead attributed it to the group discussion. No one pointed this out, but they were secretly pleased.
The collective achievement means that you have a share in it.
Of course, this requires the collective effort to accomplish.
Liu Qing was well aware of this.

Papapa
Just as Liu Qing finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao started clapping.
This time, applause rang out again in the room.
Amid the applause, Shu Xingbei, Wang Can, Liu Qing, and others all wore smiles.
"Mr. Yang, we will definitely implement this project as soon as possible."
After the applause subsided, Wang Can rubbed his hands together and said earnestly, while Shu Xingbei added from the side, "We also have some ideas, but the technology needs innovation, so the research funding may need to be increased significantly."
Then he briefly explained what had just happened regarding mobile communications.
The two worked together, their eyes both fixed on Yang Xiaotao.
But at this moment, Yang Xiaotao crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if he was thinking.
No one dared to make a sound, and they all kept looking at Yang Xiaotao.
The next moment, Yang Xiaotao looked at the two of them and asked, "How much are you expecting?"
Looking at Yang Xiaotao's calm expression, Shu Xingbei and Wang Can felt uneasy, afraid that if they said too much, their opinions would be rejected.
Finally, Shu Xingbei spoke first, "President Yang, we do a lot of research on technology, so the initial investment will be at least 500,000 yuan."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Wang Can.
Wang Can glanced at the other people in the research institute, especially Liu Qing, who had proposed the project. Liu Qing nodded subtly and immediately said, "President Yang, we might need a bit more. Let's say one million."
Yang Xiaotao nodded again, then remained silent.
Just as Wang Can was preparing to lower the price, Yang Xiaotao put his hands on the table and said, "Here's what we'll do: Professor Shu, I'll approve one million for your department. You need to speed up the progress and produce results by the year after next at the latest."
"As for your satellites, I'll give you three million."
Yang Xiaotao held up three fingers, "But you have to complete a task."
Upon hearing this, Wang Can, Liu Qing, and the others immediately stood up from their chairs. "President Yang, what are your instructions?"
"Don't even mention one task, even if it's two, we'll go all out to complete them for you."
The others joined in the shouting; there was nothing they could do, Mr. Yang had given them too much.
With such a generous leader, they simply couldn't find a reason to refuse.
