Chapter 88

Xie Kai said “no funds”, and everyone in the meeting room gave him a surprised look.

How to do research without funding?

“Xie Kai, where are you from?” Zheng Yucheng jumped up anxiously when he heard Xie Kai’s words. “Without funding, how can I continue research? How do I feed the tens of thousands of people?

Xie Kai ignored Zheng Yucheng, but stared at Li Mingshan.

Li Mingshan was also curious about what the child was going to say. He would not easily promise the conditions of the subordinate units and agree to their unreasonable demands.

Looking at Xie Kai, he took a deep breath and calmed himself, “Tell me, as long as I don’t violate the principle, I will apply to my superiors.”

“We don’t need funds, as long as the military chief gives a policy, such a non-state project, we raise research funds and operate independently.” Xie Kai said. “Allow us to seek international partners for technological development.”

As soon as these words came out, even the angry Zheng Yucheng understood this kid’s calculation.

“Electromagnetic bombs are advanced technology, and seeking international cooperation will cause technical leaks.” Li Mingshan thought for a while before answering Xie Kai’s words seriously.

The purpose of Xie Kai is obvious, to seek foreign funding to continue to develop related technologies for electromagnetic bombs.

This kind of technology belongs to the country’s top cutting-edge technology, and it is difficult to export it.

“It is not a national project, and there is no funding for research. If we seek funds abroad to continue development, we retain the most advanced technology, how can we leak the secrets?” Zheng Yucheng stood by Xie Kai.

Many of their weapons are focused on large foreign purchasers, even heavy equipment items such as tanks.

If the military’s consent is obtained and they are given autonomy, the funding problem can be easily resolved.

“Director, in fact, this technology seems to be advanced. It is not easy to obtain greater power. The funds required will also be very large. The base cannot be supported! The research has been done, we do not have equipment, technology It can only be sealed in the archives. In this way, the progress of the research can be imagined, and it will even be completely stagnant…” Xie Kai knows that it is not easy to gain autonomy.

Li Mingshan obviously knew it too, so he said such a thing.

Any advanced technology will be kept secret, not only at home but also abroad. The most advanced, the best, will always be for your own use, and will not be sold for more money.

The problem is that if you don’t sell technology or even products, the money invested cannot be recovered.

“That’s the case, once a technology leak is caused, it will pose a great threat to national defense. Strategic weapons can deter the enemy because the enemy cannot clearly understand the performance. Once the performance is understood, the countermeasures will be studied and the deterrence will be lost. “Li Mingshan said.

“This is not a strategic deterrent weapon, although it has a deterrent effect. In many cases, dare to brighten the sword to let the enemy see the edge of the sword. Otherwise, the enemy thinks that the sword in the scabbard is unedge.” Xie Kai answered tit-for-tat Tao. “In the current international situation, the possibility of a war breaking out is very small. As long as we master the most advanced technology and study targeted solutions at the same time, it is not a problem.”

“In the face of a powerful adversary, you must resolutely shine your sword if you know that you are defeated. Even if you fall, you will become a mountain, a ridge.” Xie Kai said.

This sentence comes from his favorite military series “The Bright Sword”. The reason why Li Yunlong is loved by the Chinese is because he dares to brighten the sword.

Knowing that the enemy is strong, knowing that he is invincible, he still brightens his sword.

In the national defense of any country, deterrence is important.

Various weapons and equipment can be used not only for attack, but also for defense.

If the performance of weapons and equipment is unknown to others, it is like a sharp sword always in the scabbard, which has deterrent power at the beginning, but has no deterrence power at the back.

“Sell the weapons that our troops do not equip, on the one hand, obtain data and further improve; at the same time, obtain research funds for us to further develop more advanced technologies. There is no need to compete with brothers for the originally small development funds.” Xie Kai Seeing that everyone in the military was lost in thought, savoring what he said, he waited for a while before continuing.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Zheng Yucheng was overjoyed and said proudly, “Yes, we don’t need funding, we need this policy! We seek funding sources, cooperate in development, and earn foreign exchange for the country. Why don’t we get multiple benefits in one fell swoop?”

Internationally, sales of weapons and equipment have always been the most profitable.



The military is too poor, and countless units are vying for projects and funds. It is better to find strong buyers from the world, which is more in line with the future development of the base.

Xie Kai told him that the base needs to sharpen the knife and slaughter the fat sheep that Pakistan has sent to the door.

“Who do you want to work with? Who would buy such weapons and equipment?” Li Mingshan asked.

“Pakistan!” Zheng Yucheng and Xie Kai said in unison.

Then the two smiled at each other.

“Pakistan? They are poorer than us!” Li Mingshan said with a wry smile. He thought when the people at Base 404 had caught up with the local tyrants in the Middle East.

“Ask him about this.” After Xie Kai said that the tank was tailor-made for Pakistan, Zheng Yucheng paid attention to Pakistani information.

The news he got is that Pakistan is very poor.

The country is small, the industrial strength is poor, the technology is backward, and the economic strength is not good.

Although the relationship with the United States is not so good, it still relies on American military assistance.

Zheng Yucheng has been worrying over the past two days if Pakistanis can’t afford it. According to Xie Kai’s idea, the price of a tank is at least two million US dollars, which is equivalent to almost five million soft sister coins.

“Do you think Pakistan will be interested in this project?” Li Mingshan asked Xie Kai, squinting his eyes.

Xie Kai is just a child.

“I don’t know whether it’s interested or not. But I only know that if we feel that others will not be interested, we will not seek cooperation, which is not in line with our development. Only with technological development can national defense be as stable as a rock.” Xie Kai said . “As for Pakistan, which the chief is worried about, has no money, there is no need to think about it. National defense is the top priority!”

“What’s more, the relationship between Pakistan and India and the territorial dispute between the two sides in the Kashmir area have not been properly resolved. India has obtained a large amount of advanced equipment from the Soviet Union, which poses a greater threat to Pakistan…” Xie Kai said.

For Pakistanis, the threat from India is like a throat.

The wealthiest area of ​​Kashmir was taken away by India in the Third Indo-Pakistani War, and the Pakistanis were even more upset.

“Everyone knows the country’s current difficulties, and we can understand it. So, we don’t ask the superiors for funding, we just need to provide policies. If we don’t even have policies, how can we solve the problems of the base by ourselves?” Xie Kai sees Li Ming Shan kept silent and sighed.

Look at Zheng Yucheng and motion to him to speak.

Now I have said everything I can say, how to ask for a policy and what kind of policy to ask for, so Zheng Yucheng has to talk to Li Mingshan.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with a student like myself.

“Lao Li, you can take care of this matter. Even if the funds are tight, the first and fifth machine departments will each give 17 million yuan in funding. This is just a set of numerical control systems that we have developed…no Don’t you have to pay for policies, don’t you? Our 404 base is close to 30,000 cadres, employees and their families. As long as there are policies, we are self-reliant and don’t ask the superiors for funding…” Zheng Yucheng didn’t make a fuss anymore.

Let me talk about the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery Department and the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery Department each gave nearly 20 million in funding.

Li Mingshan couldn’t refute this matter.

The 404 required policy, he can’t do this.

In case they produce some top-level advanced equipment and sell it, it is not a good thing for national defense, and they definitely cannot agree.

“Can you still engage in civilian products?” Li Mingshan said for a long time, “It’s great to change excavators to tanks. With technology, it’s great to make military modifications to the civilian market…”

“No funding! We used to engage in numerical control systems for a few months without paying wages. The follow-up research funds given by the First and Fifth Machinery Departments should not be used indiscriminately, and there are military excavators…” The problem is that the base’s project requires a lot of funds, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 people to feed.

The military excavator is not a project initiated by the military, and there is no funding at all.

Whether it meets the requirements of the military is not clear.

Li Mingshan’s mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn’t deal with Zheng Yucheng’s shameless answer.

“How can one project feed so many people? What’s more, we are still continuing to remodel the 59 tank…” Zheng Yucheng said quietly. “The higher-level department in charge does not have funding, nor does it allow us to fund ourselves, so how can we do it?”

No policy or funding is justified.

“Chief, 404 base is not suitable for large-scale production of civilian products. It is too remote and does not understand the market situation. Products with high market demand have been produced, and due to confidentiality reasons, our users cannot see our technical capabilities. Lost confidence with production capacity.” Xie Kai spoke again.

Zheng Yucheng’s words are correct, but they are very uncomfortable.

If this is not necessary, it will arouse dissatisfaction with Li Mingshan and others at that time. What can we do if we do not provide funds or policies?

There must be tough ones, and there must be no less crying and complaining about grievances.

“Once the market appears to be better than our products, we are far away from the market, unable to prepare quickly, invest a lot of research funds, but cannot get enough profit from the market, we must develop new products…” Xie Kai said helplessly. “The technical capabilities here are all equipped for cutting-edge military technology research and development. To transform into civilian products, everything has to be started from scratch. And for confidentiality reasons, it needs to be relocated…”
