Chapter 694 Skunk Works

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 694 Skunk Factory Rich Fan Wubing knew something about the Skunk Factory. In his previous life, before the feud, his father Fan Heng often took him to work together. He took it to the reading room and left it alone for the afternoon. Say that reading is all there is

In the dim room in the semi-basement of Pingyuan Factory, Fan Heng could often stay quietly for an afternoon. The research institute of the military factory, books and magazines were all related to weapons. It was at that time that I read the story of Sour Factory.

The Stink Factory is a research institution of Lockheed Martin. An engineer got the inspiration to build a stealth aircraft after reading a paper written by the Soviets. The paper was so boring that the Soviets themselves did not pay attention to it. . After this engineer from a smelly factory put forward his idea, he was criticized by his colleagues and superiors. Some people even thought that he had a brain problem and proposed to fire him because the airplane sketch he drew was weird and did not look like an airplane at all. . But after his efforts to communicate, he was finally understood. Trial production of the first stealth fighter begins.

Not long after, during the first radar test, they hung the unflyable aircraft model on a tree and came to the radar screen to see the effect. The person responsible for monitoring the radar said, "The model must have fallen from the tree. I can't see it." arrive.

The Stink Factory is a secret military base that builds some of the most powerful aircraft in the history of the U.S. Air Force. If you see anything triple the tone of the plane. Stealth fighter jets and the like are estimated to be 80% made by the Stinky Rong Factory. at this time. Everyone ran out to see the situation again, and found that the airplane model was hanging properly on the tree. Only then did they know that the experiment was really successful.

In addition, they also built many stealth spy planes. Flying very high in the sky. Survey the enemy situation below. Old spy reconnaissance planes often flew over the former Soviet Union. Although the Soviets knew about it, there was nothing they could do about it. The thing was a small moving target, and it flew too fast and too high to be hit by conventional weapons. The Soviets had no choice but to send their own planes to follow them below, forming a "metal cloud." In an attempt to interfere with the spy planes above.

Many of the U.S. military's main fighter jets in the first Gulf War were designed by Stink Factory and were extremely accurate. An ace pilot at the time once boasted to his general, "You just give the order whether to hit the men's room or the women's room. Leave the rest to me."

Some aircraft produced by the Stink Factory were also targeted at China, but China's wool transport was better than that of the Soviet Union, so they equipped it for Taiwan. It was beaten down twice by the mainland and put on display in the park, which immediately boosted our country's national prestige.

There was a time when they specifically designed unmanned spy planes targeting China. However, due to various reasons, the planes they designed were unable to return, so they only wanted to fly over China, especially over nuclear facilities, and then take pictures. Then return quickly, drop the camera and imaging equipment with a parachute somewhere in the ocean, and then the aircraft will destroy itself.

This was considered a suicide mission. Unfortunately, the first experiment was unsuccessful. The plane flew too fast and disappeared.

No one was found, and no body was found. Later, the KGB discovered it. It turned out that the plane flew over China in a flash and crashed into Siberia. Of course, no photos remain.

In the second experiment, the photo was taken, it was returned, and it was also thrown into the sea with a parachute. As a result, the U.S. Navy ship that greeted them below failed to salvage anything and failed.

The third time also failed. I can’t remember exactly how I failed.

Finally, the second boss of the Stinky Touch Factory said that the project on the Chinese spy plane was terminated after three failures. The second boss of Shou Piao Factory said these words in a published memoir, but Fan Wubing absolutely does not believe that they have really stopped designing spy planes against China. This is not the same as expecting weasels not to steal chickens. A truth.

More often than not, the smelly factory actually refers to a secret research model. The smelly factory-style product development method is widely used. There is another project that is very similar to the smelly factory, which is to create an atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project was a secret project led by scientist Oppenheimer.

At that time, Oppenheimer recruited a group of top scientists. Because the project was very secret, the U.S. government was planning to require these scientists to become soldiers and manage it in a militarized manner. Who knew it met with unanimous opposition. Scientists say that science requires the free flow of information and do not want to join the army.

There was no other way, so the U.S. government said, well, since you don’t want to join the army, you can’t force it, but you must be isolated from the whole world, so they were sent to the middle of the New Mexico desert to be isolated from the rest of the world. It's barbed wire and American soldiers armed with live ammunition.

None of these scientists had any objections. No matter how miserable the environment is, there is no reason to complain when you think that they are building a huge bomb with great power that will change history.

It's just that while this group of scientists are making history, their wives are extremely lonely and miserable. Oppenheimer's wife has become a pound of small Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 694 Skunk Works Fortune."

Whenever I read this period of history. Fan Wubing couldn't help but think that he hoped that history would not only remember these fathers of bombs who made history. At the same time, we should also remember the mothers of bombs who stayed alone for the fathers of bombs.

When Fan Wubing took his two sisters on a tour of the Stinky Glaze Factory, the entourage who stayed in Seattle was already bargaining with Clinton's staff.

Although Fan Wubing and Clinton have reached a consensus, and the three opinions have been reciprocated domestically and have been recognized by high-level officials. He also believed that Fan Wubing's mission as a secret envoy to the United States was completed beautifully this time, but more details still need to be discussed, especially the intellectual property rights negotiations and trade negotiations currently between China and the United States. Take this opportunity to make a break.

Due to various considerations, the Clinton administration does not want the Pentagon dominated by arms dealers to climb over its head. Therefore, it still attaches great importance to easing Sino-US relations and maintaining a stable trade show between the two countries, so it has agreed to this time In return for some slight concessions in intellectual property negotiations.

The situation in the country at this time is still relatively tense, but workers have returned to work and students have returned to school. After what happened this time, everyone has understood that without the backing of a strong economy and strong national defense, the country It is impossible to truly stand up.

The radical forces were collectively speechless after suffering a sudden blow. Now the peace exhibition group has the upper hand, and Fan Heng's work in the State Council has temporarily focused on the adjustment of military industrial enterprises.

International news on the evening newscast. Suddenly footage of Fan Wubing visiting the United States appeared. Part of it is a scene of Mr. Fan Wubing, Chairman of Fan Investment Group, embracing Microsoft CEO Bill Gates warmly, and part of it is a scene of Fan Wubing visiting the Stinky Glaze Factory accompanied by Maximus and Bennett.

In the end, commentators said that conflict and cooperation between China and the United States have always been going on at the same time. The friendly cooperation between the two sides should not be affected by a temporary misunderstanding. Both sides should cherish the current status of cooperation between them and should not be influenced by some reactionary forces and affect the pace of joint development.

"The treatment of being free from illness seems to be at least at the level of deputy prime minister, right? Look at the reporters and the accompanying staff. When their mother Zhang Mei saw this scene, she said to Fan Heng in surprise.

Fan Kang, who had only just returned from surfing the Internet, replied, "The average deputy prime minister may not be able to have this magnanimity. You must know that Microsoft and Lockheed Martin are both private companies. If others ignore you, you will not either." What a temper. Speaking of Wuyi’s influence abroad, it is actually much greater than at home.

After listening to their conversation, Fan Heng took off the glasses he was wearing, rubbed his eyes and said. "You are wrong. In fact, Wuyi's influence in China is no worse than abroad. A few days ago, because of the Southwest Branch, a director and a deputy governor were involved. Currently, they are all It is under internal review. Although the deputy governor will not be removed, the future will be bleak. "

"I think that based on the current situation, the status of the bosses of these private enterprises in the country will be greatly improved in the future, and many people will even be able to participate in politics." Fan Kang thought of the three major portals in which he has a stake. The website cooperated with the government in guiding public opinion, so I told my father Fan Heng.

Fan Heng scratched his head and said, "Although it's still uncertain, the state is paying more and more attention to non-public economic enterprises, and the proportion of non-public economic enterprises in the entire national economy is also constantly increasing. Judging from this trend and the general economic laws, what you said is inevitable.”

"Will it develop to the point where public ownership is no longer the mainstay?" Fan Kang asked.

"That's hard to say, but anything that involves the lifeblood of the national economy must be controlled by the state. This principle will not change." Fan Heng said to his son after thinking for a while.

Fan Kang nodded, thinking about it in his heart. Judging from the current development of the Internet, it is obviously not yet a mainstream media, but what will it be like in ten years? It's hard to say. I suddenly took a large shareholding in three major portals, and also acquired some distinctive shares. The scale of this venture capital investment is indeed not small, but don't do it suddenly. If the government suddenly announces that an Internet company must be controlled by the state, all its investment will be in vain.

This matter will have to wait until Fan Wubing comes back before the two brothers can discuss it carefully.
