Chapter 3123 Goal Deviation
As the uniformed man made the final decision, a smile immediately appeared on Andrei's face.
Over the years, their research in the field of computer science has been suppressed and restricted by two other forces.
The three of them knew exactly what their motives were.
Resources are limited; if you give more to yourself, others will have less.
If someone doesn't fight for their rights, those behind them will have other ideas.
Now, with Nowitzki's support, they have finally secured an opportunity.
An opportunity to turn things around and become the best in the league.
They are confident and capable of seizing this opportunity.
Andrei was full of confidence and ambition about this.
He unconsciously looked at the other two with a higher status.
Tradviv glanced at the gleeful Andrei and cursed inwardly, "What a smug little man!"
Demilit, standing to the side, felt a pang of sorrow as he looked at the expressions on the two men's faces.
One of them is researching ternary computers and has been a powerful figure for the past decade or so.
They once occupied most of the Alliance's computer research and development resources, but unfortunately these guys didn't produce any decent results.
At least it wasn't as dazzling as the computers in China today.
The other one, although following the old binary path and constantly researching and imitating Western computers, has also achieved remarkable results in recent years.
Of course, this was also a compromise made by those in power when they saw that ternary computers were slow to gain traction.
Regardless, the other side gained support, even if it was small, it was still support.
As for themselves, they could only survive by scraping together the meager resources left over from what both sides had eaten.
Their research on ternary computers is none of their business.
They are lagging behind in the research of binary computers.
Nowadays, it's very difficult to change one's current situation and remove the two mountains hanging over one's head.
Therefore, he decided to take a different path.
Thinking this, he waited a while longer, and while Andrei and the other man were away on business, Demilit quietly walked up to the old man in military uniform and said in a humble manner, "Sir!"
The old man in military uniform seemed to be asleep; he only nodded slightly when he heard the voice, without saying a word.
Upon hearing this, Demerit continued, "Sir, we intend to use Chinese computers."
Demirit got straight to the point; he knew the old man didn't like beating around the bush, so he figured it was best to get straight to the point.
How to use it?
Hearing the old man ask this question, Demirit breathed a sigh of relief. At least the old man had spoken up and hadn't directly refused.
"Sir, computers are playing an increasingly important role nowadays and have already taken a dominant position in various industries."
"Especially in the aerospace field, a major reason for our previous failures was that the performance of our computers could not meet the requirements, particularly in complex environments, where they were unable to respond quickly enough..."
To put it simply!
The old man suddenly spoke, and Demirit immediately swallowed what he was going to say and then spoke again.
"Pavel went to China to prepare to import their computers."
“We want to work with him to use these computers in the aviation field.”
"Moreover, according to our investigation, the launch center they established in Kuizhou uses computers they developed themselves."
"The key point is that they succeeded."
After Demilit finished speaking, he looked at the old man.
"So, you want to use their computers to build our revolutionary cause?"
The old man finally looked at him properly, which made Demirit feel a little relieved.
He then nodded solemnly, "Yes, we can't keep waiting for domestic research; that would be too much of a waste of time."
"Moreover, whether the domestic research will be successful is still uncertain!"
"Therefore, we cannot continue to wait, otherwise the gap will only widen."
The old man nodded in approval after hearing this.
The complex situation in China cannot be explained in just a few words, nor can it be decided by one or two people on a whim.
It's not something that can be solved with just one or two guarantees.
Anyone can talk, and some can even talk very well.
But very few of them actually get things done.
Even if the Demirit in front of me also has ulterior motives!
The old man in military uniform looked at the command post again, his eyes fixed on a group of people busily working.
"You guys can give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Demerit immediately nodded happily, "Yes, sir, thank you for your support!"
The old man waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I also want to see what kind of changes this computer can bring."
"By the way, I heard they also have a communication tool?"
Demilit felt a pang of anxiety, followed by ecstasy.
He quickly replied, "Yes, in addition to satellite phones, they also have a communication tool called a pager."
The old man nodded. "A pager? By the way, how far have we progressed in our satellite phone research?"
"this…"
Demilit hesitated, not because he didn't know, but because he wasn't sure how to say it.
Because this is not part of their research center's work.
"What? Is there something you can't say?"
The old man asked with displeasure, and Demilit quickly replied, "Sir, the research on satellite phones is all being handled by Andrei and his team!"
The old man turned his head to look at Demilit after hearing this, "I want to hear what you have to say."
Demirit glanced around and then said, "Sir, as you know, we haven't made a breakthrough in semiconductor technology yet, and the high-purity silicon we use is all bought from China at high prices."
“We used to be able to buy a lot, but now with the large-scale manufacturing of computers, satellite phones, and pagers in China, the export of high-purity silicon has been restricted, so naturally less is being sold to us!”
The old man frowned again upon hearing this. "Didn't they say that a breakthrough had been made in the research of high-purity silicon?"
Demilit nodded with difficulty, "This is just a breakthrough in the laboratory; the machinery and equipment needed for large-scale production are not yet in place."
"Especially high-frequency reactors, which we can only import from China now."
At this point, Demetri shrugged. "As you know, the United States strictly prohibits the export of equipment like this!"
The old man remained silent.
It was at this moment that he realized how rapidly China's technology had developed over the years.
The student who used to follow them closely had actually walked ahead of them.
In Chinese terms, it's like the student surpassing the master!
"We must speed up the research!"
The old man finally said something helplessly, and Demirite nodded, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
Research requires funding. Moreover, failed research is a bottomless pit.
Can they still support so much research?
At that moment, Demilit suddenly remembered what Pavel had told him.
Since China has better computers, which can help us solve our problems simply by being used, why should we spend money to research them?
Moreover, even if you spend the money, you might not be able to make it.
At that moment, Demilit felt that what Pavel, that fat man, said made a lot of sense.
"You guys push the pager!"
Suddenly the old man spoke.
Demilit realized what was happening and his face lit up with ecstatic joy. "Yes, sir!"
He understood that this was a huge opportunity!
After leaving the old man's side, Demilit hurriedly went into an office, dismissed the people inside, and then picked up the phone.
"Pavel, it's a success!"
Demirett's voice was filled with delight, which made Pavel, who was savoring the exquisite taste, refocus and ask, "Mr. Demirett, you're not talking about that, are you?"
Demilit laughed and immediately said, "Listen, Pavel, Mr. Nowitzki has agreed to our plan."
"Not only that, they also helped us get the pager project going!"
"You know what? These are like two pieces of gold that fell from the sky."
"Pavel, can you hear me?"
Hearing the sudden jumble of noises coming from the other end of the phone, Demilit immediately cursed, "Damn fatso, it's daytime, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Demilit, don't worry about these unimportant things."
After a while, Pavel's voice came through, and he said excitedly, "He really agreed to let us make pagers. You know, there are quite a few people eyeing this lucrative business."
"Yes, it's that damn Bekotin."
Demilit sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Nowitzki said it himself."
"Bekotin is nothing but Bemit's dog, a worthless piece of trash."
"Pavel, are you scared?"
Immediately, a series of "hahaha" sounds came from the other side.
"Demirit, I'm hanging up now because I need to go to China again."
"Go, and be quick!"
Demilit said casually, "I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Demirit left his office and went to the viewing platform. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that Andrei and Tradviz looked rather grim.
He thought it was about satellite phones and pagers.
But after listening for a while, I realized that it had nothing to do with these two things.
While he was away, the staff adjusted the satellite's orbit again.
Then an ambiguous answer was given.
The time and location of the satellite launch may differ slightly.
In other words, the location prepared for this experiment may not be needed.
It could also have landed somewhere else.
And the consequences...
Demilit glanced at the old man's expression; no wonder it was so serious.
"Have the population of the surrounding towns evacuated again."
"No one should be within a 100-kilometer radius!"
After a long silence, the old man spoke again, and everyone was startled once more.
Now, less than three hours have passed since the tungsten rod was thrown. Will the people down here be able to react in time?
However, none of the three dared to object, since this matter was attracting attention from many parties.
If something goes wrong, no one can afford the consequences.
The staff nearby received orders to leave immediately, and whether the area could be evacuated as soon as possible was not their concern.
As time goes by.
Just as Tel Aviv's face was turning pale, the commander finally raised his hand, and everyone's expression changed.
Then the commander quickly issued orders, and everyone around suddenly became busy.
A moment later, the commander nodded to Tel Aviv, "Sir, all preparations are complete. The porcupine will be over the launch target in one minute. Requesting launch!"
Tradviv stood up abruptly and looked at the elderly man in military uniform beside him.
The old man stood up, nodded, and said, "Permission granted!"
Tradviv immediately shouted to the commander, "Clearance to launch!"
"Yes!"
The commander immediately stepped aside and continued giving instructions.
As the countdown began, once the satellite entered the target's airspace, he immediately shouted, "Input the command!"
"Deploy immediately!"
The surrounding staff quickly manipulated the satellite to drop the tungsten rod it carried.
At least, that's how it's controlled here!
Meanwhile, satellite observation stations in various locations immediately began tracking the situation.
The command center also received information from various locations and then continuously reported the situation.
"The tungsten rod has broken free from the satellite's restraints and is descending!"
"The tungsten rod is moving faster!"
"As the tungsten rod enters the atmosphere, its surface temperature rises."
As the voices came, everyone in the command center held their breath and slowed their breathing.
"This is Observation Station 303. This is Observation Station 303. We have detected that the target route has deviated. The target has deviated!"
In an instant, an urgent voice rang out. The command center was first silent, then a commotion broke out, and then panic ensued.
"How far off? How far off!"
"Answer me, damn it, answer me now."
Tradviv couldn't wait any longer and rushed up to the commander, shouting loudly.
At this moment, everyone in the entire intelligence center became tense.
If the destructive power given by China is accurate, this 800-kilogram tungsten rod will ultimately reach the level of a nuclear bomb.
If they deviate from their target and land in a town, the resulting damage and public opinion will put those present in a military court.
At this moment, even the elderly men in military uniforms were unsettled.
