Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 317 Foreshadowing
With the constant push on Weibo, Zhou Rui’s cold joke was finally blamed on the real person.
Tong Xin finally discovered someone's sarcastic joke a few months later.

Late night snacks can be regarded as a unique secret code between the two of them, but before Zhou Rui really just thought it was interesting and posted it casually.

When Tong Xin came across this airport Weibo post, she was confused like most people at first.

But the more confused she became, the more unique magic she seemed to have, making her want to click in to see who this blogger was, and pay attention by the way.

Maybe Zhou Rui’s 20 fans come from this.

After clicking in, I found that every Weibo post by the blogger was calling for a late night snack, at different times and in different places.
I really want to have a midnight snack.
Especially there were a few photos, obviously from around Fuda, and I gradually had an association in my mind that even I thought was funny, so I simply took a screenshot and asked Zhou Rui about it.

Zhou Rui said harshly: "Ah? What? I don't know."

Tong Xin: "I'm still trying to quibble. One of the pictures in it is clearly your home, and there's you in Sichuan Province at the back. That's too obscure."

"What if I didn't get it? Or did you send it to others?"

"No, no, just post it casually!"

"Didn't you say it wasn't you?"

"Uh~"

This is really hard to explain with two mouths.

In fact, during this time in Chengdu, his contact with Tong Xin was not completely absent, but it was indeed very little.

Everyone is working hard on their own. Tong Xin has to take care of her studies while managing the Taobao store and occasionally working part-time as a product photographer.

I heard things were going well and I made a small profit.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Rui hesitated slightly and did not call Tong Xin to come to him, although the time was perfect.

He and Tong Xin have a very pure friendship, good friends based on "equal souls" and "equal bodies". Calling them back and forth like this is disrespectful to others.

Although as a healthy man, I have also thought about it in my mind. Before, my buddy worked hard and "worked hard for 30 days." Now I finally gave myself a holiday. Three days is not too much, right?
But what doesn't fit is what doesn't fit.

On the contrary, I chatted a little more with Tong Xin about going to Leping City to receive the award. After all, Tong Xin was fully involved in the human trafficker incident at that time, and the little girl's clothes were changed by Tong Xin.

"Really, it'll be fine once we find our parents. Are there any side effects?"

"It is said that my parents are in good condition and have received proper treatment. They should be fine."

At this time the boarding gate light came on.

"First class passengers, please prepare to board."

Zhou Rui ended the chat and sent a message to Tong Xin: "I'm about to board the plane. I'll send you photos then."

"Bon Voyage."

Zhou Rui stood at the so-called first-class boarding aisle. Seeing that he was too young, the flight attendant added intentionally or unintentionally: "First-class passengers, please stand over here."

Zhou Rui glanced at the other party but said nothing, looking to see who was embarrassed.

Sure enough, when she tore off the boarding pass, the stewardess was embarrassed and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Zhou, please board the plane."

There were no interruptions during the flight. There was nothing special about the first-class cabin except that the food on the plane was better, the seats were wider, and the stewardess squatted on the ground when she spoke. The angle was more commanding.

Although this is the first time Zhou Rui has flown in first class, time has changed and he is no longer so excited about such a trivial matter.

Instead, he kept observing the structure of the aircraft inside the cabin and outside the windows, thinking about the difference between civilian aircraft and fighter jets.

They are all flying in the sky, but the design ideas and difficulties are completely different.At present, there is not even a shadow of domestically produced civilian aircraft, or domestically produced large aircraft, and they are all owned by Boeing and Airbus.

“Can’t build my own big airplane” is also a commonly heard complaint.

Of course, in fact, there are not many companies in the world that can build large civilian aircraft, and none that can be 100% domestically produced.

But we have our own special national conditions. We started from "lighter gasket" to "compass" and finally to photolithography machine.

It seems that if there is any equipment in the country that is still using foreign equipment, and if there is any part that is still imported, it means that we still have a long way to go, and we must recognize the gap clearly.

In fact, the country is tired and happy at the same time. Tired means tired first in all aspects. Does this mean that we are not giving others a way to survive?

Have you earned all the money in the world?You ask the old American, does he dare to say that he is number one in the entire industrial field?
Happiness is happiness. This is actually the subconscious mind hidden in the hearts of every Chinese.

With 5000 years of heritage and civilization, many people feel that we should be number one in all fields.

Zhou Rui played with the badge in his hand while observing the design of the Boeing 737.

take it easy.

------------

When Zhou Rui got on the plane, some things were still fermenting.

For example, Yang Rubin, after returning to Beijing, started running around for the expanded application of Sixiang metamaterials.

In addition to mobilizing military industry forces, this part also requires the support of some conventional industrial forces to ensure the stability and reliability of the supply chain and raw materials.

"Project Whetstone" will be one of the most important military-industrial programs in the next few years.

So he came to the Ministry of Industry, connected upstream and downstream enterprises, and traveled between offices familiar with the work.

While chatting with a high-level person, Yang Rubin remembered something Zhou Rui had mentioned before, and suddenly asked: "What is the current situation of our chip technology."

The other party was an old man who knew the national industrial situation very well. He opened the big tea cup and asked curiously: "What? Are you short of chips?"

"No, our military industry's chips are all big, black and thick. Production capacity and technology are not a problem. I'm just asking out of curiosity."

The old man said: "It's not too optimistic. Several attempts to break through the industry have failed. The local government has also been defrauded of a lot of subsidies."

"Why can't you get up?"

"We started late and did not form a healthy operating market mechanism. Enterprises invested a lot of energy in research and development, and the products they produced were only backward products in the market. They could not form positive feedback, and no one was willing to invest. Basically, all fields were like this. Just go buy it.”

In fact, any developing country cannot avoid the game of "buying" and "making" on the road to industrialization and modernization.

In the past, there were too many things in short supply, and the country as a whole was in the middle and lower reaches of the global industrial chain. Naturally, the trend of "buying" prevailed over "making."

But now, as technology rises and artificial "barriers" are gradually touched, we have to develop in the direction of "creation".

"We are also relatively lacking in talent. Although many of the top talents in this field around the world are Chinese, and some of them are even sent out by us, there are really few in China."

The man glanced at Yang Rubin: "Market logic is different from military industry logic. You don't pay attention to returns, and you can even ignore the cost. We are different. Even if it is a national department, there is no reason to do business at a loss based on the head of the enterprise."

As he talked, the man said suspiciously: "You don't want to use military industrial thinking to develop chips, do you? I suggest you not to waste your efforts. Without the support of a big market, you can't do it."

Yang Rubin quickly shook his head: "Nothing, I just talked about this with an expert before, and I am curious about the current situation."

"That's good. It's okay to do something big with military-industrial logic, but it's impossible to do something this sophisticated."
