Chapter 390 Beidou System

Although the economic situation in the past few years has been somewhat severe, in Fan Wubing's view, even Boss Zhu has a sad face. Could it be that there is some hidden agenda?

Regarding this matter, he naturally couldn't ask openly, so he called Jiang Lue and asked what happened so seriously recently. Boss Zhu sheds tears not just because of watching a show, right?

Although Boss Zhu is said to be a true-hearted person, he can also be regarded as a tough guy. There are very few opportunities for such true feelings to be revealed, which makes Fan Wubing a little puzzled.

Jiang Lue was hesitant on the phone and was not very willing to reveal the inside story. When he was pressed, he said to Fan Wubing, "Anyway, you will be here soon for a routine check-up with the elder. When the time comes, Or the number one commander will meet you, just ask him directly. Or if the boss is in good spirits, he can talk to you."

"Why don't you just tell me and it's over? What's making you so nagging?" Fan Wubing felt more and more strange.

"Well, family scandals should not be made public -" Jiang shook his head slightly, but still did not say anything.

This time Fan Wubing went to Beijing to check the elder's health, and the reception he received was higher than usual. However, the review work this time was also more stringent. At the same time, before going up the mountain, he also found that all the security personnel had changed. , are all newcomers.

"You're here - sit down -" The elder was basking in the sun. When he saw Fan Wubing arriving, he nodded and ordered him to sit down.

Fan Wubing pulled up a chair, sat down facing the old man, and watched him close his eyes to rest. After five minutes, the old man opened his eyes and said, "I have been learning how to nourish my qi recently, and I feel very good. Not bad, but sleepy easily.”

After hearing what the elder said, Fan Wubing smiled and replied, "It's not bad to fall asleep. This is deep sleep, which is conducive to the recovery of the body. It is much better than taking sleeping pills to sleep."

Many elders have reached this age. Everyone has the problem of not being practical. Probably because I thought too much when I was young. Later, overuse of the brain caused some weakness in the nervous system. Basically it is difficult to sleep soundly. And sleeping pills are actually poison to quench thirst. Once used, dependence will occur. And kept taking sleeping pills. This will cause the body to develop strong drug resistance. It works from the start. Later it was just a handful.

If only I could be like the elder. If you can fall asleep by nourishing your Qi. That was an unexpected harvest.

The elder nodded. "Did you notice that my guards have changed this time?"

"I saw it. It feels strange. Is there anything inconvenient?" Fan Wubing answered honestly.

"Didn't Jiang Lue and the others tell you?" the elder asked.

"Mysterious. Hesitantly. As if he didn't dare to say anything." Fan Wubing replied.

"Oh, that's what they are like. The family scandal should not be made public -" the old man shook his head and said, "I was slapped in the face recently. I feel angry but I can't let it out. I am sulking. Naturally, I am suffering. Not coming out."

"Isn't that true?" Fan Wubing's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Although the elder no longer cares about political affairs, it only refers to general affairs. Whenever there is a big event, senior officials still have to report their work. After all, after so many years of military career, coupled with the subsequent decades of national construction, The rich experience and sophistication of this group of elders are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Their decisiveness also provides strong support to the current leadership.

"You know something about the missile crisis not long ago, right?" the elder asked.

Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "I heard it, didn't it say it was very good? The missile was very accurate and the Americans were scared away."

The official propaganda is that the deterrence operation worked, and the arrogance of the elements was severely dealt a heavy blow. The three missiles accurately landed in the designated area, achieving the strategic intention, and the two American aircraft carriers near the center line of the Taiwan Strait were also tracked by submarines. , was forced to retreat.

That's why Fan Wubing said this, which is completely consistent with the official statement.

After hearing this, the elder said angrily, "That's propaganda!"

After listening to the elder's explanation, Fan Wubing knew the truth of the matter, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

In March, the relationship between Beijing and Taipei fell into a state of high tension due to Lee Teng-hui's excessive behavior. Beijing believes that this is Taiwan's move towards complete independence.

In order to combat Lee Teng-hui's arrogance, the military launched a large-scale military exercise, conducting missile test launches and amphibious landing exercises in the Taiwan Strait. The United States dispatched two aircraft carriers, the USS Independence and the USS Nimitz, to the waters adjacent to Taiwan for force deterrence. .

The authorities resisted pressure from the Americans and fired three missiles into the East China Sea less than 20 kilometers away from Taiwan's Keelung military base as a warning.

The elder said, “The first missile hit the target accurately.

However, just as everyone applauded this success

We suddenly couldn't track the second and third missiles. "

"Ah?!" Fan Wubing was shocked. Is there something fishy in this?

Although the current domestic missile technology is inferior to the advanced technology of Western countries, it is not as miserable as Trinity Middle School, right? Fan Wubing himself didn't believe it if there was no problem.

"The subsequent military analysis showed that the two failures may have been caused by the sudden interruption of the GPS signal." A middle-aged man in casual clothes next to the elder said, "We infer that the Americans probably intervened."

When Fan Wubing heard this, he understood something in his heart.

Most modern missiles rely on their internally installed computer systems and satellite positioning for guidance. Loss of satellite signals will seriously reduce accuracy.

Because China has not yet developed its own satellite positioning system, the military must now rely on commercial GPSS for guidance, which makes it easy for the United States to intervene in us.

"This is a great shame for us, an unforgettable shame! We must make up our minds to develop our own global satellite navigation and positioning system, no matter how much it costs! Satellite navigation and positioning systems are a must-have for us , We have learned this through painful lessons!" The middle-aged man in casual clothes said angrily.

Fan Wubing glanced at the middle-aged man and thought that this man was probably a senior general in the military, otherwise he would not have reacted so strongly. After all, although this matter was kept secret, it was certainly not a secret to the top military officials. There was a lot of resentment in my stomach.

GPS is completely controlled and operated by the US government. Once a national emergency occurs, the US government can shut down GPS for US use only. At that time, the White House was worried about large-scale missiles. It sent an Aegis warship to monitor the situation. Two missiles suddenly lost their targets. It was most likely that the Americans had intervened. Turning off GPS briefly was enough to disable the two missiles that relied on this system for navigation. Missing.

After Fan Wubing understood the reason, he nodded and replied, "Now that we don't have our own satellite navigation system, it's like we don't have eyes! This thing must be built!"

Fan Wubing is also aware of the current domestic situation. Although the economy is very prosperous, it is far from reaching the point where there is really money to spend. The foreign exchange reserves are less than 100 billion US dollars. Under this situation, if you want to Investing a lot of money, manpower and material resources to develop very expensive satellite navigation and positioning systems requires great determination.

"Speaking of which, we would like to thank Mr. Fan." The middle-aged man in casual clothes thanked Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing asked curiously, "It seems we don't know each other, right? Where can I express my gratitude?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The satellite that Mr. Fan brought back last time was of great help and inspiration to us. It has saved us a lot of detours. Now we plan to build our own satellite navigation within ten years." System, Mr. Fan deserves a lot of credit for this, your contribution is much greater than that of designing the Blizzard torpedo.”

Fan Wubing laughed when he heard this and said, "It's not that exaggerated. It's all just nonsense. If it weren't for having some money to support it, it wouldn't be so troublesome." But he then asked, "American satellite navigation system It’s called gpss, what’s ours?”

"Beidou! Beidou is used to guide the course!" the middle-aged man replied with certainty.

Beidou? ! Fan Wubing was stunned. He was certainly aware of the reputation of the Beidou system, but he did not expect that the origin of the Beidou system was actually this matter. The intervention of the Americans contributed to the Chinese people's determination to develop their own satellite navigation system. This This kind of thing is a blessing in disguise.

If this kind of thing hadn't happened, or if the country hadn't made up its mind to build its own satellite navigation system, the Americans would have woken it up this time. How could one's own destiny and one's own vision depend on the Americans' commercial satellite navigation? system?

Thinking of this, Fan Wubing couldn't help but get excited and said, "It must cost a lot of money to build this thing, right?"

"It will take tens of billions of funds. We are worried about how to implement this fund. It is really difficult -" the middle-aged man looked at Fan Wubing longingly and said, as if he was the Minister of Finance.

Fan Wubing couldn't help but want to slap his mouth. What's the point of talking so much? Now that someone has said something like this, should I accept it or not? If you pick it up, your body will hurt; if you don’t pick it up, your conscience will be condemned!

The elder couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fan Wubing's embarrassed look.

"Then I will sponsor a little bit, but please don't let anyone know, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Fan Wubing said with some distress.
