This cocktail party was a great time for both the guests and the host. Considering that no Japanese were invited, this description is not an exaggeration at all.
After the cocktail party, he got into his wife's car and returned. Alan Wilson habitually began to think about things. This was seen by Pamela Mountbatten, who knew that her husband's old habit had happened again. "What are you thinking about?"
"Think about whether there is anything missing." Alan Wilson did not hide it. This has become his habit. As a political expert, it has almost become his instinct.
"I'm tired of calculating every day!" Pamela Mountbatten scolded, "You don't have anything important, do you?"
"Does immortality count? It's still a bit difficult with today's technology." Alan Wilson sighed with a joke, talking about the common wish of powerful people in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Not to mention China’s past emperors, many of the world’s richest people in later generations have invested heavily in the biopharmaceutical field. This is certainly because everyone is afraid of death and profit, but don't these rich people have some real thoughts leaked?
Often, the more powerful a person is, the less willing they are to give up their achievements during their lifetime, and this is especially true for kings throughout the ages. There are still fourteen years left until the rich man freezes himself. That rich man is not the first, nor will he be the last.
"I didn't expect you to have such unrealistic wishes." Pamela Mountbatten was amused. The two of them were young, so it was too early to think about these things.
"Eternal power is power." Alan Wilson sighed and did not continue on this topic.
He did not leave Australia immediately, but wanted to travel around and not inspect any projects. Australia is the foundation of a top resource country, and nothing is better than selling minerals honestly for development.
This does not mean that Australia cannot develop high technology, but it just cannot continue to invest in good technology. In fact, many so-called high technologies can be implemented by any country in the initial stage. The beginning is not a problem, the problem is the process.
As far as the photolithography machine is concerned, the principle of the photolithography machine is actually as simple as a slide projector, which is to project light through a mask with a circuit diagram onto a wafer coated with photosensitive adhesive. In early photolithography in the 1960s, the mask was attached to the wafer in a one-to-one size, and the wafer was only one inch in size at that time.
Photolithography was not high-tech at that time. Semiconductor companies usually designed their own tooling and tools. When Japan began to enter the field of photolithography machines, photolithography machines were no more complicated than cameras.
Then engineers at the Philips R&D lab in the Netherlands built a machine: one that tried to legally make money, like printing money.
But they didn't realize at the time that they had created a "monster" that would spend the next two decades doing nothing but gobbling up money.
After decades of investment but no market, this is unacceptable to any company. But the companies that persisted, after generations of investment, finally turned the low-barrier lithography machine into a source that the world's major companies rely on. , that’s when it’s time to harvest.
Therefore, lithography machines and even the entire semiconductor industry require massive funds and updated technologies. In fact, it is not an industry where you can make money while lying down. It is no different from the 996 assembly line. No one would have thought that after decades of high investment and no income, it would become the kind of industry that is stuck with various giants in later generations.
Alan Wilson knew very well that once he chose to take the semiconductor industry into the hands of the United Kingdom, starting from ten years later, the United Kingdom would continue to invest heavily in this industry. At least it would not see some investment until the Thatcher era. Results.
Compared with decades of continuous investment, Australia only needs to sell mines to live a good life. Even if you have this intention at the beginning, how can you make such hard-earned money over time.
Pamela Mountbatten saw that her husband was bored, and after thinking for a long time, she decided to take her husband to the Wumera launch site for inspection. Of course, he did not forget to bring a large amount of medicine. After all, compared with other continents, Australia is like an alien world. Many inconspicuous things can be fatal.
"This kind of cautious character is very similar to your husband." Alan Wilson was very happy and felt that Pamela Mountbatten still had a chance to prove her enlightenment on the journey of being a cautious warrior.
Those who are close to vermillion are red, those who are close to ink are dark. Pamela Mountbatten is the woman he has cultivated since childhood, and they think alike every time. Alan Wilson will feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The Woomera launch site was built by the British in Australia. It comes from the fact that the British mainland does not have such conditions. It is nominally a joint venture between Britain and Australia, but in fact Australia can't help much other than providing the venue.
Of course, Britain is not a strong presence in the rocket field, at least it is incomparable to the United States and the Soviet Union. However, Alan Wilson knew that for a period after the war, although the United States had huge funds and technology plundered from Germany, it did not know what the use of the rocket field was.
Vested interests are always conservative and are far less willing to invest in new areas than challengers. This is the so-called late-mover advantage.
For the United States, maintaining is the best way to gain an advantage, so it actually has little interest in aerospace. This is the main reason why the Soviet Union sent humans into space in the first place. The United States only relied on its monetary capabilities to catch up after Gagarin ascended to space.
The current main role of the Woomera launch site is actually to test the British missile project. In fact, London's future development of missiles is probably similar to that of the United States. It feels that it should be developed, but it has not yet figured out how to develop it.
"My dear, do you have a share in this launch center?" Alan Wilson held his wife's hand and walked around the only space launch site in the southern hemisphere. De Havilland is now the British company that researches missiles. Mera Mountbatten has invested in the parent company of the Comet airliner.
"Yes, Mr. de Havilland's project requires this launch site. And my important industry itself is in Australia." Pamela Mountbatten never concealed anything from her husband, and said clearly, "Now the funds for the project are It all depends on state funding, and I don’t know if I should continue investing.”
"This is a life-saving thing, and it is certainly worth continuing to invest in. As for civilian use, it is also useful." Alan Wilson understood as soon as he heard that the UK was still confused about how to use both military and civilian applications.
But it doesn't matter. If God doesn't give birth to me, the keyboard warrior will spit out the eternal night. Since the Wumaila launch site and the project of this launch site have his own share, he can play a key role.
It may not be appropriate to say what satellite TV and satellite phone are now, but I have a general understanding. It’s okay to wrap it up in words and help point out a firm path to enlightenment for your wife in the name of science.
Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband Yunshan Wuzhao's words, but she still nodded frequently in a cooperative manner. She is no longer the little girl she was back then. She is already well aware of this man's thoughts that are difficult to express but want to achieve his goals.
Anyway, it's her husband. Even if he doesn't hear anything useful, as long as he feels that this field is important and needs development, it doesn't matter if he invests first. Just treat it like buying a big toy.
"You don't seem to believe me!" Alan Wilson pinched his waist and was not surprised. He just couldn't explain the future development clearly. Why did the woman he had trained since childhood doubt him?
"Don't say what you said makes sense, it just doesn't make sense at all. Just because you are my husband, I have to help." Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson, which also showed from the side that she did not believe her husband. words.
"I don't know whether I should be happy or sad." Alan Wilson frowned and reached out to slap his wife's buttocks. Pam... there was a crisp sound, and Pamela Mountbatten almost jumped up. Looking around, he blushed and whispered, "You're crazy. This is a launch site. What will you do if no one sees you?"
"See what happened? You are my wife!" Alan Wilson looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle, as if the sun and the moon were flowing in his eyes, with a look of pride and determination. He really wanted to shout, "Come on..."
It was summer in Australia, and the climate was still much more comfortable than that in Malaya. The two decided to wander around and stay in a manor in Perth. Pamela Mountbatten's footsteps echoed in the hall, and she looked at the hair on the head of the leading maid. Her hair was in a black bun, but her heart was focused on taking each step carefully, teasing her cold limbs with warm assurance.
Many servants came and went in the beautifully appointed halls, their plain clothes reminding her of costumes she had seen in plays.
"I really didn't expect that you and the princess were almost living a nineteenth-century life in Australia." Although Alan Wilson was the husband of the owner of the manor, he felt out of place.
Alan Wilson imagined what he would be like if he were a British aristocrat. He would be a well-oiled playboy who wore fancy clothes and jewelry to hide the fact that he was drunk and drunk.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin, and he had decided that it would be better to return to Kuala Lumpur immediately to benefit the imperial subjects of Malaya. He really didn't expect that Pamela Mountbatten would bring the exquisiteness of domestic castles to Australia. It seems that many Australians still follow this method.
"Margaret is a princess. She always follows me everywhere. I always have to think about her." Pamela Mountbatten denied that she was addicted to the hypocritical and luxurious aristocratic life, saying that all this was to make Her Royal Highness the Princess. I have been away for a long time and have forgotten the court etiquette.
Alan Wilson glanced at his wife suspiciously, temporarily believed the explanation, nodded and said, "I told you that's not the case."
"Just a dance, it has nothing to do with red tape, right?" Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative to invite, looking at her husband expectantly, she cheered up and snickered in her heart. She would curtsey gracefully, and he would glance at her casually and hold out his gloved hand.
