Chapter 55 Vera Lopez

City of Bethesda.

"After all, you came here from Johns Hopkins University. You are welcome to join, Vera."

In the lobby on the first floor of Lockheed Martin headquarters, two women, one old and one young, meet here. She is an older woman. Her name is Marilyn Hewson. The current head of Martin Company.

"Ms. Marilyn? I'm really honored that you actually came out to meet her in person." The girl said with a touch of flattery, and spoke with a touch of elegance.

Her full name is Vera Lopez (Vera·Lopez), and she is known as the youngest and highest-level fundamental physicist in contemporary North America. She received a double Ph.D. in mathematics and quantum physics last year when she was Vera. degree, this year he won a master's degree in chemistry, and is still taking care of his Ph.D., and became the youngest tenured professor at Hopkins University two months ago.

If she hadn't been poached by Lockheed Martin, she might have become the chief scientist of the North American National Neutron Decay Research Program this year.

And the fact that the head of Lockheed Martin came to greet her in person is enough to prove how much Vera Lopez has been favored. Her appearance is already very good even for the leading actress in Hollywood. Just as amazing.

Marilyn led her to visit the company headquarters for one or two days, and personally took her to the exclusive research center promised to her.

"The company employs more than 17 people, and ranks among the best in the world in the fields of aviation, aerospace, and electronics. It is also the world's largest fighter jet manufacturer. In terms of aerospace, it will control the production and launch of all military satellites in the United States; in missiles On the one hand, it is the main manufacturer of ICBMs in North America. At the same time, it still has advantages in strategic missile systems, strategic missile defense systems, tactical missile systems, anti-tank missiles and airborne electronic equipment.”

Marilyn said in a proud tone, as the largest defense contractor in North America, Lockheed Martin does have proud capital, and for a moment, she looked at Vera with a smile: "And I look forward to your joining It can open a new chapter in the field of high-energy laser weapons where the company has stagnated. We still believe that the most likely future is that high-energy directed output weapons will take the lead in breaking nuclear deterrence.”

"Yes, Ms. Hewson, I firmly believe that when the power level is large enough and the size is small enough. Sea-based, land-based, space-based, and space-based high-energy particle anti-missile systems can be easily established. At that time, the planetary The war will no longer be fooled."

When this kind of new concept weapon was mentioned, an unconcealable excitement and anticipation gradually appeared in Vera's eyes, as if a child was excitedly talking about his favorite toy.

Even Marilyn inexplicably felt a faint chill in her heart when she saw her at this moment, but this state of mind only lasted for two seconds in the heart of the head of Lockheed Martin, and was replaced by Excited for it.

This is what Lockheed Martin needs.

Vera's performance made her look forward to it even more, because in the field of high-energy directional weapons, the gap between Lockheed Martin and its competitor Boeing is constantly widening. Don't think that Boeing is the one that manufactures civil aviation airliners.

And Vera Lopez's ability to join Lockheed Martin is undoubtedly the high expectation of the female head.

……

Unknowingly, it has been nearly four months since Tianqing Technology Co., Ltd. was established. The company’s exoskeleton or mechanical prosthesis has been sold for 49 days since the product was launched. The average weekly sales data has reached 10570 sets, and the cumulative revenue has reached 23 billion, the company's current book funds reached 12 billion.

As the "Li Li incident" came to light, it led to a sharp increase in sales, and there was no sign of weakness at all.

In mid-May, Tianqing Technology's second directly-operated physical store opened successfully in Pengcheng, and also opened an online e-commerce sales platform. Since the opening of the second physical store, Tianqing's daily turnover has increased from 2000 million rose to around 3450 million.

The peer companies in the industry are basically in the research and development stage, and Tianqing Technology has already begun to earn a lot of money, which undoubtedly increases the favor of the capital market in this field.

Everyone realizes how attractive this supermarket is.

As for Tianqing Technology, it is impossible not to make the capital circle and peer companies jealous, but with Fang Jianping's lessons learned, no one dares to make a wrong decision.

Even though this start-up company is selling medical equipment products, it is also a genuine military enterprise, which has been labeled as "military background".

It can be said that this label is an invisible umbrella.

As for the huge profits earned from the field of medical machinery, even if Tianqing Company does not have the military's R&D funding, it can still support the huge capital investment in the R&D and production of military exoskeletons with its own stable income.

For Gu Cheng, the immediate focus is the Zhuhai Air Show, which is getting closer and closer. He must complete the development of the company's first-generation military individual exoskeleton before November.

Accomplishing this task from nothing in less than a year is almost only theoretical for any high-tech company.

But Gu Cheng's assurance that the development progress is indeed unexpected.

The unit cycle of other high-tech companies to develop a new product is calculated in years, but Tianqing Technology is an exception, which is calculated in a monthly cycle.

Forget it, the military is even more surprised and helpless, as the chief developer of the technology, Gu Cheng's working hours are only 3 hours a day, and he never works overtime.

Just imagine, if you work more than eight hours a day, wouldn't it mean that the development progress can be further shortened?
But he just doesn't work overtime. As for the rest of the day, he just sleeps and picks up girls.

Gu Cheng is not heartbroken, and the country is heartbroken. If a great talent is not fully utilized, it will be a shame to this talent.
