Summoning Great Xia Commercial Aircraft; Developing a 100% Domestically Produced C919 Large Aircraft! (Please Keep Reading)
All kinds of thoughts rapidly swirled through their minds, one idea after another surfacing.
"He's an organization. That's right, Old Zhang, you guessed correctly."
Zheng Lixing clenched his fists, his face flushed red with excitement. "No wonder this mysterious person could obtain this kind of technology. He didn't get it from Eagle Sauce single-handedly. There's an entire organization behind him."
The mysterious person had never claimed to be alone. On the contrary, he had never tried to hide the fact that he could easily obtain top-secret technology from Eagle Sauce.
All these signs indicated that there was an extremely tightly organized group behind this "mysterious person."
Zhang Yuli nodded and continued along that line of thought. "In these conversations, the mysterious person sometimes said 'I' and sometimes said 'we.'"
"That proves that the people communicating with our Great Xia Academy of Sciences may have been changing all along."
Zheng Lixing's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed. "That's right. It should be exactly that."
Such self-references rarely changed under normal circumstances. Last time, the person had called himself "I," but after obtaining the technology this time, he had become "we."
"It seems the person who contacted us last time was clearly of a higher rank." Zheng Lixing began making deductions based on the tiny clues.
In an organization like this, forms of address were extremely important. If someone could refer to the organization as "I," that meant he had the authority to represent the entire organization in communicating with Great Xia. Referring to it as "we," on the other hand, meant he was merely carrying out orders.
As for whether this Mysterious Organization truly existed, neither of them had much doubt.
Great Xia had only joined the global trade system a few years ago. How could it possibly know about a Mysterious Organization that even Eagle Sauce itself had failed to uncover?
Besides, the existence of such an organization was hardly unimaginable. Who knew how long this Mysterious Organization had been buried within Eagle Sauce?
There were all sorts of strange characters within Eagle Sauce. One or two hundred years ago, many Chinese laborers had built railroads there and settled down.
Even a century ago, Great Xia often maintained contact with organizations such as the Hongmen in Eagle Sauce. Even Eagle Sauce's revered father, Roosevelt, had once been that organization's legal adviser.
Their capabilities back then were probably not much inferior to those of the current Mysterious Organization.
Just then.
Liu Zhixue suddenly walked in from outside and asked curiously, "Dean, did the mysterious person send another message just now?"
He had been resting these past few days because his round-the-clock shifts some time ago had left his nerves somewhat weakened.
Although he was younger than Dean Zhang and the others, he was still nearly fifty. His body simply could not take it anymore.
"Yes." Zheng Lixing saw his bleary-eyed expression and poured him a cup of tea. "Little Liu, did you just wake up? Have some water first."
"Alright, thanks, Elder Zheng." Liu Zhixue took a sip, moistening his cracked lips.
Then he impatiently asked, "Dean, Elder Zheng, what technology did the mysterious person give our Great Xia Academy of Sciences this time? Is it the B-2 bomber?"
He had rushed out of bed without even taking a sip of water because he wanted to know the answer.
After all, never underestimate a researcher's curiosity. Without that spirit of getting to the bottom of things, one could never reach such heights.
Zhang Yuli smiled and shook his head. "No, it isn't the B-2 bomber this time. It's another technology."
"Another technology? Can I know what technology it is?"
"It's the complete set of technical design drawings for the Boeing 777 series."
Zhang Yuli did not hide it and decisively gave him the answer.
From the very beginning, Liu Zhixue had been involved with the F-22 fighter jet technology sent by the mysterious person, and he likewise had clearance to know the technical details.
Liu Zhixue suddenly understood. "Technology for the Boeing 777 series? That does fit the mysterious person's style."
This technology did not surprise him.
The other party had previously said he would obtain the B-2 bomber technology. This was only Boeing 777 series technology. What was the big deal?
"However, he also asked us to do something this time." Zhang Yuli still wore a smile. "He requested a reward of one billion US Dollars."
"One billion US Dollars? That price could only be described as cheap." Liu Zhixue and Zheng Lixing shared the same view on this point. They both felt the price was absurdly low.
"However, the mysterious person asked us to use the entire reward to build one thousand schools in Northwest Province."
"What?" Liu Zhixue wore exactly the same expression they had earlier, filled with shock and confusion.
What was he doing this for?
He wanted to build one thousand schools in Northwest Province? What was the mysterious person's purpose in doing this?
All these questions arose in Liu Zhixue's heart, only to vanish in the blink of an eye. He sighed. "It seems this mysterious person is a true son of the soil..."
Whether the mysterious person was from Northwest Province was something Liu Zhixue did not care about at all. He simply felt heartfelt admiration for such a rare decision.
Although he was not from Northwest Province, his hometown was next door to it. Its educational conditions were practically in the same boat as Northwest Province's, and he knew the local education standards very well.
Trading one billion US Dollars for one thousand local schools was enough to show the mysterious person's sincere heart. Why should anyone care about his identity?
"Dean, I'll head back first." Liu Zhixue rubbed his eyes. Having received the answer he wanted, he planned to go back and rest a little longer.
"Get some proper rest first." Zhang Yuli seemed to remember something. "Oh, right. Ask whether anyone from Great Xia Commercial Aircraft is in Yanjing. Tell him to come over immediately."
"Alright." Liu Zhixue nodded.
He did not find it surprising. Now that they had the complete technology for the Boeing 777 series, the domestic large aircraft project naturally needed to revise its plans.
Half an hour later.
Outside the dean's office at the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.
A guest hurried over, brushing dust from his clothes.
"Why is Dean Zhang looking for me?" Xu Qianren muttered.
As the general manager of Great Xia Commercial Aircraft, he had just finished a meeting in Yanjing when he was notified to urgently make a trip to the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.
This was not standard procedure.
Great Xia Commercial Aircraft's supervising authority was not the Great Xia Academy of Sciences either. Could they be looking for him?
After straightening his appearance, Xu Qianren pushed open the door. "Dean Zhang, did you need something from me?"
"Elder Zheng, you're here too?" He knew these two well. Back when he worked in Yanjing, he often saw them.
"Little Xu, we called you over this time mainly to notify you of something related to Great Xia Commercial Aircraft." Zhang Yuli did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Something related to Great Xia Commercial Aircraft? Please, Dean Zhang."
"Following the highest-level decision, all cooperation with CFM Company is to be suspended immediately." Zhang Yuli spoke each word distinctly. "Abandon their integrated propulsion system!"
"We are going to develop a 100% domestically produced C919 large aircraft!"
