Chapter 83 Xu Ziming: I want credit!

"First, it serves as a deterrent to the US; second, it warns the US; third, it generates a windfall through arms sales; and finally, it hides a strategic intent to undermine the US's foundation... This army exercise has truly taken things to a whole new level!"

"As expected, when it comes to these strategic plans, the headquarters think tank is still the most capable."

"I'm only in the critical airspace, while headquarters is already a waverider skipping across the outer atmosphere."

Lin Dong sighed inwardly.

But after seeing the comments from Poly and China Ordnance, he thought for a moment and reminded Li Tao, "Brother Tao, let's go back."

When Uncle Li and the others come home from get off work and see you standing here playing on your phone, they'll lose their phone usage rights for the rest of the month.

"That's right!"

Li Tao looked startled, quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket, and waved, saying, "Lin Dong, Xu Qingling, I'm going back to do my homework now. See you at the training ground later."

See you this afternoon.

After Li Tao walked away, Lin Dong took out his phone to ask a question, then turned to Xu Qingling and said, "I'm going to the lab to see my godfather. I'm having lunch at the base canteen. Want to come along?"

"To Uncle Wang's place?"

Xu Qingling was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Lin Dong had something to do. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Then let's go together. It'll be too conspicuous for you to go alone at noon."

"it is good."

Lin Dong smiled and turned to walk towards the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base.

"I'll send my mom a message and tell her I'm not coming home for dinner." Xu Qingling quickly followed Lin Dong, then took out her phone and sent a message to Zhou Xiaoyan.

Ding-dong-

[Zhou Xiaoyan]: Lingling, your dad is working overtime and needs to talk to your Uncle Wang. Why don't you ask him to take you out to eat?

Zhou Xiaoyan replied less than two minutes after the message was sent.

Upon seeing this message, Xu Qingling's eyes lit up, and she said to Lin Dong, "My dad is working overtime today, we can use his meal card."

"Then we'll add another chicken leg." Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.

soon.

The two arrived at laboratory number 78.

A short while later, Xu Ziming, looking helpless, and Wang Xingguo, looking gloomy, arrived.

Wang Xingguo pushed open the laboratory door with a furious gesture, causing the door frame to vibrate slightly. After entering, he took off his glasses and looked at Xu Ziming with anger and disappointment in his eyes.

"Mr. Xu, regarding the materials laboratory renovation you just mentioned, I'll send you an authorization document this afternoon. Tell them it's Wang Xingguo's idea."

Offering them honors, credits, and promotions, plus extra funding—there's no such thing as a free lunch.

If they still are unwilling to participate, then we won't force them.

However, all the laboratories under Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) and in which we have a stake must complete the renovations within a specified timeframe to coordinate with the research and development plans from headquarters. There is absolutely no room for negotiation!

Once inside the laboratory, with its secure and eavesdropping-proof environment, Wang Xingguo could no longer suppress his anger and spoke up to Xu Ziming first.

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling exchanged a glance.

Xu Qingling gently tugged at Lin Dong's sleeve and gestured with her eyes to Wang Xingguo's almost clenched fist with white knuckles.

The two of them tacitly walked to the side and sat down, waiting for the other two to finish their discussion.

"Engineer Wang, I think this matter should be handled by 624 and 606."

Xu Ziming rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "The materials team that gave the modification suggestions this time was originally there to meet the project needs of 624 and 606."

If we take on this responsibility and then forcefully suppress it, the labs below will inevitably become resentful, and there will inevitably be some turmoil later on.

"If they have any complaints, let them come to me. They can't cause any trouble. Cooperating with the research schedule of their superiors and completing the research tasks assigned by their superiors is their job and responsibility."

Wang Xingguo responded domineeringly, then glared at Xu Ziming with exasperation: "Hey, Ziming, what's wrong with you?"

This mass production project for third-generation single-crystal nickel-based materials was something I managed to get from Beihang University's materials science department after a lot of effort.

After working through several sleepless nights to help that old guy Jiao You overcome the project, they finally agreed to put the specific project verification and process under Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

This project is a credit boost for Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, and it's also a credit boost for you. Can't you stand up for yourself a little?

"No, sir, this..."

Xu Ziming wanted to say something, but before he could finish, Wang Xingguo waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't say anything else."

Wang Xingguo looked at Xu Ziming and said, "I'll just ask you one question: do you still want credit?"

"Well... of course I want it," Xu Ziming replied helplessly.

"Okay, you said it yourself, as long as you want credit!"

Wang Xingguo said without any room for doubt: "I will arrange the allocation of scientific research resources according to my wishes. You just need to focus on the project."

Once you complete this third-generation single-crystal nickel-based material project, I guarantee you'll be a renowned engineer by the time you're 42!

You're good in every way, and you're talented enough, but you're too easygoing and lack ambition. How can someone under forty be so easygoing, so weak, and so lacking in drive...?

"..."

Not far away, Lin Dong listened to Wang Xingguo and Xu Ziming's conversation, his expression already filled with a strange look.

The third-generation single-crystal nickel-based material mass production project, laboratory renovation...

Why does this sound so familiar?

Isn't this the email he sent to Wang Xingguo these past two days regarding the modification of the materials and process testing?

feeling.

That's how your lab team is organized, Godfather.

Judging from Uncle Xu's appearance, he was completely unaware of the situation behind it all and assumed that his reply to the email was a response from the team working on projects 624 and 606.

"Godfather, this..." Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but call out.

"Cough cough cough, Xiao Dong, and Qing Ling too."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's voice, Wang Xingguo realized what was happening and couldn't help but cough twice.

Turning around, she showed no trace of her earlier anger, her tone warm and caring: "Did you call me just now because of something?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing Wang Xingguo's appearance, Lin Dong thought to himself that the old man was very wicked. He then explained the purpose of his visit: "I saw some comments about this military exercise saying that representatives from Poly and China Ordnance Industries would be participating. I wanted to come and ask about it."

"That's the arrangement."

Wang Xingguo didn't hide anything and gave a general overview of the headquarters' arrangements.

Given Lin Dong's current situation, Cheng Fei has no secrets from him what he wants to know.

Along with Xu Qingling, Zhang Xiali, Zhou Xiaoyan, and others, their rank and authority were also elevated several levels due to their involvement in Lin Dong's confidential work.

"I don't think this is appropriate."

Lin Dong thought for a moment and then expressed his opinion: "Direct arms sales are ultimately not that good."

"What's wrong with arms sales?"

Wang Xingguo paused for a moment, then found a stool and sat down in front of Lin Dong, earnestly asking, "Tell your godfather what your thoughts are?"

At the last military exercise meeting, Lin Dong's remark, "Xiao Rizi is just a vicious dog that has stood up; the key is to pay attention to the villains behind the leash," confirmed to him that in addition to Lin Dong's extraordinary talent in technology, he was also very sensitive to certain situations and political events.

He wanted to know how Lin Dong planned to handle the situation.

Xu Ziming also became interested and quickly came over, sitting down next to Lin Dong with Xu Qingling, curiously waiting for Lin Dong's answer.

"Selling arms is too sensitive."

Lin Dong organized his thoughts: "If the arms sales plan proceeds as planned, many countries would like to buy them, but they are hesitant to do so due to various treaty restrictions."

Furthermore, if these drones are sold to the military, and a war breaks out later, public opinion will be unfavorable to us.

The Americans will also use military equipment as a pretext for various forms of interference; we need to find a different approach.
