I built an armada

Chapter 17 A Hero Comes A Boy!
  Taking the lead alone!

What a great achievement!

Xu Dongguo's eyes flashed with horror.

Sun Yongguo's words of "standing alone in the first place" immediately determined Su Dingping's contribution.

The other party's meaning is very clear. The '951 Operation' was successful, and all the credit goes to Su Dingping! We don't have any!
  For such a major project to involve a young person is already an incredible thing! Not to mention, such a young man takes the lead alone!
  It's not that Xu Dongguo doesn't want to believe this kind of thing, but he has never heard of it.

But Sun Yongguo's tone was so firm, without any ambiguity at all.

He didn't believe that Sun Yongguo would deceive him on such a major matter.

"When did this young comrade participate in the '951 Operation'?"

"Chief, Comrade Su Dingping did not participate in the '951 Operation'?"

Xu Dongguo frowned slightly.

He didn’t participate in Operation 951, so why did he take the lead alone?

Sun Yongguo explained.

"Chief, according to the information provided by Comrade Zhang Gongnong, Comrade Su Dingping participated in this third-year postgraduate graduation review five months ago at the request of Comrade Zhang Gongnong..."

After listening to Sun Yongguo's words, Xu Dongguo's heart was filled with ups and downs.

"Chief." Colonel Zhang also said: "Before you came, we checked it all and there is no problem! The core technology of 956E has been almost conquered by Comrade Su Dingping!"

The rest of the people said one after another.

"Chief, this is the 956E model that Su Dingping has almost perfectly reproduced based on pictures and related information."

"Chief, these are the design, theory, and parameter drawings of 956E-related core technologies."

……

Listening to this, Xu Dongguo understood.

Co-author Su Dingping and 335 Research Institute each did their own thing. No wonder Sun Yongguo said that Su Dingping took the lead alone!
  At this moment, Su Dingping didn't say a word, but he suddenly became the focus of the audience.

Xu Dongguo looked at Su Dingping again, his eyes suddenly changed.

If Zhang Gongnong hadn't asked Su Dingping to participate by name, and trusted Su Dingping enough to give him the key to the office and let him freely access the information, wouldn't he have missed a talent in vain?
  With just one picture, I could research the relevant information on my own and use various methods such as reverse reasoning and forward reasoning to solve the core technology related to 956E!
  If this spreads out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation!
  Whether it is the Bear Country or the Beautiful Country, or the East and other Western countries, they will definitely try their best to get Su Dingping away! If you can't get it away, you will definitely try your best to destroy it!
  Talent!
  A great talent in my navy!
  Thinking of this, Xu Dongguo was filled with emotions.

A few hours ago, he was still hesitating over the high price of 18 billion US dollars. At this time, he saw hope for the future of the Navy.

"Little comrade, you have worked hard these past five months."

Xu Dongguo patted Su Dingping on the shoulder and said with concern.

He didn't ask Su Dingping how he overcame many difficulties to achieve this. There was no point in asking about suffering.

"Little comrade, our navy always rewards meritorious deeds! If you want any reward, just ask, as long as it is within my authority, everything is easy to say!"

"Reporting to the head, I am not studying 956E for rewards." Su Dingping said sternly, "I think that what Westerners can do, we Chinese are no less brainy than them, we can also do it! So I Let’s do it!”

Xu Dongguo was obviously stunned.

"Have courage! Heroes come from young men!"

"But don't worry, I won't miss any of the praises I deserve!"

As he said that, he looked at Sun Yongguo and said: "Comrade Sun Yongguo, when you get back, you can draft an application for military merit. I will review and approve it for you as soon as possible!"

"Also, the expenses required for this research must be reported in full! All reimbursed to the young comrade!" As soon as these words came out, Sun Yongguo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong, Comrade Sun Yongguo? Are you encountering difficulties? Don't worry about the cost being too high. I will do everything possible to supply the little comrade."

"Chief, that's not the case."

Sun Yongguo smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Su Dingping has not asked for a penny from our institute, nor has he applied for a penny of scientific research expenses from the school."

Even Xu Dongguo, who had always been calm, could not avoid a sudden change in his expression at this moment.

Didn’t apply for funding?
  How can anyone engage in scientific research without applying for funding?
  Scientific research is a bottomless pit, can you still pay for it out of your own pocket? What kind of family fortune can afford to build it like this? Even if he is a billionaire, he can’t handle it!
  Xu Dongguo pulled Su Dingping and took two steps aside, his tone became much more cordial.

"Comrade Dingping, please tell me the situation. Is it because your application for funds was not approved? No matter who is blocking you, just tell me and I will make the decision for you today!"

"You can say it with confidence, I will support you!"

After a while, Su Dingping said.

"Reporting to the head, all the manuscript paper I used, which is about three tons, was applied to the school in the name of Professor Zhang. I did not spend any money."

"The instruments are from our laboratory. Oh, I also borrowed some equipment from several other laboratories. The information was checked on Professor Zhang's computer and the school library. I still didn't spend any money..."

Seeing Su Dingping talking about his family treasures, Professor Li and others looked at each other in embarrassment and wanted to dig out three rooms and one living room with their toes on the ground.

"When I think about it, I spent some money to get these molds."

Spend money!
  Finally spent money!
  Xu Dongguo breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Li and others' expressions also softened slightly.

"It took a while. But the school has given me a lot of scholarships in the past few years, and with the bonuses I get from every competition, it's almost enough."

"After all, I'm just making a model, so it's normal to spend less! If I start manufacturing it in a factory, it will definitely cost a lot of money!"

Professor Li and others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly turned red from holding back their emotions and felt like crying.

Zhang Gongnong was proud and embarrassed at the same time.

Xu Dongguo didn't know what to say for a while.

If Su Dingping had spent hundreds of millions, he would have repaid it directly without even frowning.

How much do these scholarships cost?
  It's a bit petty to repay or not.

Xu Dongguo never dreamed that in the past he was worried about the high reimbursement fees, but today he was worried about the low reimbursement fees.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back and think about it carefully.

But he also realized a problem. Su Dingping was not only a talent, but also a treasure!

Such a treasure is so important for the Navy, which has always been strapped for military expenditures!
  Must stay!

"Chief, if we understand these technologies thoroughly, we will definitely be able to build our own modern warship!"

Sun Yongguo's words directly touched Xu Dongguo's heart.

This means that US$18 billion can be saved, and there is no need for the birdy representatives of the furry bear countries.

Western countries do not want China to conquer the core technology of warship modernization, but now, the dilemma has been broken!
