Chapter 24 — After I Resigned, the Whole Academic World Upraised

His analogy is very easy to understand. And also very convincing. I have to admit. He convinced me. Because from start to finish. What I wanted was never money. What I want. It is for the results of research in the laboratory. Truly going out into the world. Truly changed the country's destiny. And if Long Sach can help me do that. This cooperation. Perhaps it is the most correct choice. What I care about most. Not the number of shares I hold. It's also not how big the future profits will be. What I really care about. It's how quickly our technology can leave the lab. How quickly can it enter reality? How quickly can it become a solid shield to protect this country?

“I have one more condition.”

I looked at Long Sach.

“The company headquarters must be located in Beijing.”

“The manufacturing plant must also be located in the vicinity of Beijing.”

“I need to be able to monitor the technical status of the production line at any time.”

“No problem.”

Long Sach replied almost immediately. There was not a second of hesitation.

“Yizhuang Economic Development Zone in Beijing.”

“I have reserved three hundred acres of industrial land.”

“If everything goes well.”

“Construction can start next week.”

I looked at him. Can't help but feel surprised. This man's work performance is truly scary. He has been preparing for this cooperation for a long time.

“One last question.”

I looked straight into his eyes.

“How can I trust you?”

“Believe that when the company grows strong.”

“You won't kick tech people like us out?”

“Capital always pursues profit.”

This is the most important question. It is also the biggest worry of every researcher when entering technology commercialization. Long Sach did not respond immediately. He was silent for a few seconds. Then put your hand on your neck. Gently take down one pendant. I looked closely. It was an old bronze bullet casing. Strung with a simple red string. There is also a series of numbers engraved above. Not precious. But it is kept extremely carefully.

“My father was an air force test pilot.”

Long Sach's voice slowed down. Became much quieter.

“Fifteen years ago.”

“He participated in testing our first generation of domestic fighters.”

He stopped for a moment. His eyes looked down at the bullet casing in his palm.

“During that flight.”

“The plane had a problem due to defects in the engine turbine blade material.”

“The plane disintegrated in the air.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

“I heard he still has a chance to skydive.”

I asked softly. Long Sach nodded.

“But he gave up.”

“At that time, the black box data contained all the test parameters of the project.”

“If lost.”

“The research team will have to start over.”

“So he stayed.”

“Use your life to protect the black box.”

“This is the only relic he left me.”

He lifted the bullet casing. Calm eyes. But I still see the pain that has been there for fifteen years. My heart suddenly tightened. Until now. I really understand. Why is he willing to bet a hundred billion on my technology? He also understands. Why do I dare to bet my whole life on the road? this study. Because we are the same type of people. In the veins. They all flow with the same belief. A silent but intense love for this country. Long Sach put the bullet casing back on his neck. Then look at me. His eyes were so sincere that they couldn't be faked.

“Principal Hua.”

“I cannot guarantee that I will always be a noble person all my life.”

“I don't dare say I will never make mistakes.”

“But I can promise you one thing.”

“As long as I'm alive.”

“Huaxia Pioneer Company will forever belong to Huaxia.”

“It only exists for one purpose.”

“Let our plane fly higher.”

“Fly further.”

“And safer.”

“Let our submarine dive deeper.”

“More stable.”

“To each of our soldiers.”

“They all have the strongest armor in the world.”

He looked straight at me. The voice was extremely determined.

“That is my belief.”

“Principal Hua.”

“Are you willing to trust me for once?”

I was speechless for a few seconds. Then slowly stand up. Bow deeply before him. Not for the amount of one hundred billion. It's not because of the contract in front of me. But out of respect. For a man who spent his entire life continuing his father's unfinished ideals.

“Chairman Long.”

I raised my head.

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

Long Sach also stood up. Hold my hand tightly. That moment. From today. I don't just have a sharp sword in my hand. But also start with like-minded people. Forge a shield with your own hands that nothing can break. A shield strong enough to protect the future of this country.
