Super Scientist

Chapter 77 Essential Elements of a Top Scientist

Air tickets are very expensive. One plane ride can take several train rides. This is the general consensus of Chinese people. However, not many people know why air tickets are expensive. Most people are just complaining.

If Mr. Zhuang hadn't mentioned it, Ye Chen wouldn't have thought about it.

"Tell me about it." Zhuang Lao said.

"The plane is too expensive." Ye Chen said.

"Yeah." Mr. Zhuang nodded appreciatively, and said, "Yes, the planes used in our country are really expensive, because they are imported planes. The passenger planes in our country are either Boeing or Airbus. Buying other people's planes, why not buy them?" Can it be expensive? If we buy one plane, the Americans can buy two."

Without airplanes, there would be no flights, so airplanes are expensive, and air tickets are naturally expensive.

"If we want to develop our country's aviation industry and reduce the price of air tickets, our country must send large planes into the sky. Otherwise, it's just a fantasy." Mr. Zhuang continued.

The civil aviation aircraft currently used in our country are either purchased from Boeing or Airbus. Buying other people's things is always very expensive. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to develop our civil aviation industry.

If we want to develop the civil aviation industry, we must send large planes into the sky.

"Our country has now established a large aircraft company, and good news continues to come in. The time for large aircrafts to go to the sky is getting closer. I think that the time for the price reduction of air tickets is coming soon." Ye Chen said.

"Xiaoye, it's a good thing that you have full confidence in the future of the country, but have you ever thought about a question: Why can't our country build a large plane if our country can build a space station?" Elder Zhuang asked another question.

"This..." Thinking about it carefully, this is really the case. Our country can build spaceships and space stations in space, but it cannot build large airplanes. Ye Chen really couldn't figure it out, and asked: " Why?"

Not only Ye Chen hadn't thought about this question, but many people in the country hadn't thought about it. Many people in the country are always complaining that the country is not good, and even large airplanes cannot be built, but they never thought that we can send spaceships to the sky and build space stations. Is this possible?

"This has to start with the national conditions of our country, and it has to be started after the founding of the country." Zhuang Lao's eyes were deep, lost in memory, and said: "After the founding of our country, we were poor and white, we needed money but no money, we needed people and no one, However, both aviation and spaceflight need to be developed, and the country can only spend one share of the money. At that time, there was a saying that "one money is two things". It is obviously impossible to use one money to do two things. Pick a priority development that is particularly important to our country."

"Whether to give priority to the development of aviation or to give priority to the development of aerospace, this was a big debate at the time. The forces of the two factions were similar, and no one could convince the other. I had just started working at the time, and I also participated in the debate."

"Old Zhuang, which faction do you support?" Ye Chen was a little curious.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I, I support the priority development of aviation. Now that I think about it, I really don't understand the actual situation, and I'm just playing the piano."

"Old Zhuang, you can't say that, you are also for the country." Ye Chen said.

"It's right for the country, but it's not right if it doesn't conform to the actual situation of the country, and it will cause great losses to the country." Mr. Zhuang shook his head, and continued: "Not only us researchers are arguing, but even the leaders of the country are also arguing." In the debate, it is difficult to decide for a while. The founder of our country is very wise and good at listening to opinions. He invited the father of our missiles to hear the views of the father of missiles, and finally adopted the opinions of the father of missiles. Priority develop spaceflight."

The father of our missiles is a world-renowned technological master. Ye Chen grew up listening to his stories, and asked curiously: "What did the father of missiles say?"

"The father of the missile had two points of view: first, he believed that the penetration capability of the missile was much stronger than that of the aircraft. This was particularly important because the international environment our country was in was very harsh at that time.

The threat of war exists all the time. If there are no missiles, even if we create an atomic bomb, it is difficult to pose a major threat to the enemy with the speed and penetration capabilities of aircraft. "Zhuang Lao said.

There is no need to say who is stronger and who is weaker in the defense penetration capabilities of aircraft and missiles.

"Secondly, our country's scientific and technological foundation at that time was just like that. It was impossible to manufacture the materials needed for aircraft. The materials of aircraft were reused many times, and the requirements were very high. Missiles were disposable, and the requirements for materials were relatively low. Therefore, prioritizing the development of spaceflight is in line with the actual situation of our country." Elder Zhuang appreciated the views of the father of missiles very much, saying: "Facts later proved that the views of the father of missiles are completely correct."

Ye Chen was stunned, and said: "Now the country has invested a huge amount of money in the development of large aircraft, which is to pay for debts."

"That's right." Zhuang Lao affirmed.

"Let me just say that our country can build spaceships and space stations, but it can't build large planes. It turns out that it owes too much debt." Ye Chen finally figured it out.

Mr. Zhuang continued to analyze, saying: "Another reason why our country's air tickets are expensive is because of the United States."

Ye Chen was puzzled, and said: "Our country's air tickets are expensive, what does it have to do with the United States?"

Xiao Lingyue glanced at Ye Chen, and said: "Not only is there a relationship, but there is also a great relationship. The United States regards itself as the world's police, and has a global presence. The US military can intervene globally. It will cost a lot of money. Do you think the US's Too much money to burn hands, looking for trouble? The United States is pursuing national interests. Looting resources is an integral part of national interests."

This statement is rather novel, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully, and Ye Chen can't refute it.

"The United States has a global presence and can strike globally, so it has the pricing power of resources. If it does not listen to the United States, it will be attacked by the United States military. Look at Iran, which is a member of the Petroleum Exporting Organization. The second time I want to use force, if it weren't for the game of several big powers to stop the US plot, the US would have brought down Iran long ago." Xiao Lingyue continued.

The Iran issue is a hot issue in the world right now. Ye Chen naturally knows it. He didn't understand the reason before, but after listening to Xiao Lingyue's words, it really is the same thing.

"The U.S. has the power to set prices for resources, so the price set is naturally beneficial to the U.S. These things are invisible, but they actually exist." Xiao Lingyue said.

"Xiaoye, the reason I mentioned this is not to show my erudition, but to tell you a truth. A top scientist must have a global perspective and be able to look at the world. The father of our missiles is particularly good at this aspect It is admirable." Zhuang Lao warned: "If you have time, it will be good for you to study more about this."

Mr. Zhuang's good intentions make sense when you think about it carefully. Those world-renowned scientists have a broad vision and can see the big picture, which is admirable.

Next, Xiao Lingyue taught Ye Chen a good lesson, which greatly improved Ye Chen's views on world issues.

At the same time, Ye Chen has a different view of Xiao Lingyue. She is indeed a world-class evildoer. Her view of the world is really amazing. There are many questions that Ye Chen has never even thought about.

"Global hotspot issues are actually the intersection of the interests of major countries." Ye Chen has gained a lot.

"Good understanding." Mr. Zhuang praised with satisfaction.

"Children can be taught." Xiao Lingyue commented.

Ye Chen is very depressed, I am older than you, okay? If you talk like this, you are not afraid of losing your life.

After Ye Chen asked for advice, he finally arrived at the Capital Airport. After getting off the plane and out of the airport, Ye Chen almost dropped his eyeballs when he saw it.
