Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 205
"The reason why I said so categorically that it is impossible is because in 2011, the United States passed a bill called the Wolf Clause.

This bill directly stipulates in the form of law that any joint scientific research activities related to spaceflight between our two countries are prohibited..."

Zhou Chunli began to talk to Zhou Ming about this bill called "Wolf Clause", and Zhou Ming also knew why Zhou Chunli was so sure that the cooperation he said was impossible, and everyone wrote the non-cooperation into the law Well, even if you are the president, it is impossible for you to violate the law and cooperate with China on aerospace.

This law of the United States is not a provision of the United Nations, and it can be bypassed if it is bypassed.

"This provision was proposed by American Republican Congressman Wolf, which is why it is called the Wolf Clause. Wolf is the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for the US space budget...

In fact, long before that, they imposed various export controls on our side, and also restricted cooperation in the field of satellite technology and national defense, but the "Wolf Clause" was the first time that they adopted laws and regulations. The form restricts our space cooperation with them, so this incident caused some sensation at the time.

There are two different political systems between us and them, with different ideologies, and our rapid rise is certainly not something they can tolerate.

After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and since the founding of Xinhua, this situation has been happening all the time. As long as we do not completely surpass them, then this situation will happen in other industries in the future.

Only when we completely surpass them in the future, when they are no longer on the same level as us, and when they fully understand the facts, will the situation be better...

Now, do you still think about working with them? "

After talking to Zhou Ming about the ins and outs of Wolfe's clause, Zhou Chunli looked at Zhou Ming again and asked him.

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, deeply sympathizes with what Zhou Chunli said, "This situation will happen in other industries in the future". After all, he has seen the future with a life simulator, and knows that the situation Zhou Chunli said will indeed occur in the future.

Therefore, Zhou Ming did not immediately answer Zhou Chunli's last question, but instead asked: "Then Dean Zhou thinks, which industry field will this kind of situation happen on a large scale?"

"It's hard to say, the United States is still ahead of us in many high-tech manufacturing, such as medical instruments and chips.

However, I personally think that with the continuous development of computer technology, we are increasingly inseparable from mobile phones, and chip technology is the most critical part of many electronic products such as mobile phones and computers. If this happens again next time, it will be very It may be in the chip field. "

Zhou Chunli expressed his opinion, and Zhou Ming, who knew the future, also deeply admired the opinion of the president of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences after hearing Zhou Chunli's own opinion.

After all, based on his own understanding of the situation, he was able to guess exactly what might happen in the future, and this was the first time Zhou Ming had seen it.

"If we can't cooperate on aerospace, then we can also cooperate on other long nights to learn from each other's strengths.

Since their chip technology is more advanced than ours, we will cooperate with them on chip-related technologies.

Anyway, this so-called cooperation is all for the other party's technology, and we can just use our strengths to make up for our weaknesses through them. "

This time, Zhou Ming answered Zhou Chunli's question just now.

"It seems that you won't give up until you get the skills we don't have, but their skills are not so easy to get. We have suffered a lot in this regard, so you should be careful.

Moreover, although some of the top technologies are indeed behind them, the company that owns this technology may not necessarily be registered in the United States, and they will still have room to operate.

And the specifics will depend on the discussion for a while. "

Seeing that Zhou Ming had made up his mind, Zhou Chunli couldn't say anything more, so he had no choice but to say this.

Moreover, this kind of major event must not be decided by Zhou Ming alone, it needs to be spoken from above.

The two said so, and soon arrived at the place where the meeting was held.

Zhou Ming is already somewhat familiar with the venue of this meeting, it is the auditorium that Zhou Ming has been to both in the simulation of the life simulator and in the real world.

When Zhou Ming and Zhou Chunli walked into a not-so-big conference hall, there were already quite a few people in the conference hall.

"This is Zhou Ming, Professor Zhou." Zhou Chunli began to introduce Zhou Ming's identity to those who had never met Zhou Ming before, and there were also several people who Zhou Ming had met before.

After introducing Zhou Ming, Zhou Chunli introduced to Zhou Ming several scholars who had never met Zhou Ming.

"This is Wang Hong, our manned spaceflight project management and electronic information technology expert, as well as the chief designer of our space station system and the chief designer of the Tianhe core module, who is in the design stage.

This is Wu Hao, the current chief designer of the third phase of our Huaguo Lunar Exploration Project...

This is the chief designer of the second phase of our Hua Guoqian lunar exploration project..."

After Zhou Chunli introduced to Zhou Ming these few important figures in the aerospace field, or those who had held important positions, Zhou Ming also greeted them and had a chat with them.

"Professor Zhou is really young and promising. I just graduated when I was your age..."

"Your research on synthetic organisms in space has also provided great help to our aerospace industry..."

There were voices of praise and exclamation for Zhou Ming all around. They praised Zhou Ming for his numerous research results, the breadth of his fields and his important contribution to the aerospace field. They marveled at Zhou Ming's youth.

There is no way, Zhou Ming is too young, which one of you present is younger than fifty?
It was Zhou Ming, and at Zhou Ming's age, he was even younger than many people's sons. How could this not make them sigh.

But their chat didn't last long, because not long after Zhou Ming arrived here, the meeting officially started.

"The main purpose of holding this meeting this time is to let the aerospace engineering side and the space synthetic biology research project team have direct contact in the future, and talk about the space synthetic biology research project. In addition, it is about the establishment of the Space Biotechnology Research Institute and Regarding whether to launch a biotechnology research and promotion industry cooperation plan with the United States...

Let’s talk about the communication between the aerospace engineering side and Zhou Ming’s space synthetic biology research team. We made a mistake in predicting the progress of the space synthetic biology research plan. Clear, this is something we want to avoid in the future...

Now that this is over, let's talk about the space synthetic biology research project. Zhou Ming is the person in charge of the project. Let him talk about the development of the project and the development plan. "

At the meeting, the person who had met Zhou Ming at Huaguo University of Science and Technology before and had a private chat with him said a few words, and then he let Zhou Ming speak.

"About some research projects, we are conducting several studies at the same time, and we are also conducting further research on the bacteria transformation project to help astronauts survive on space stations or on alien planets..."

After that person finished speaking, Zhou Ming began to talk about some developments and development plans of the space synthetic biology research project.

Regarding what Zhou Ming said, it was impossible for the aerospace department to just listen. They also asked Zhou Ming some questions and their doubts, and Zhou Ming answered them one by one.

Afterwards, there was a discussion about whether to cooperate with the United States in biotechnology. Zhou Ming also shared his views with Zhou Chunli in the car.

"Actually, we don't have to worry about what will happen if these technologies are learned by them. One is because this is equivalent to a transaction. We each get what we need, and the other is because the update speed of biotechnology on our side is very fast. .

Even if they have learned it, if they want to compete with us, I am afraid that by the time they integrate and prepare for large-scale investment, our biotechnology may have been updated, and it may be more than one generation old.

In this case, even if they want to use this to compete with us, it is impossible.

However, I think it would be great if we could directly exchange technology for technology, bypassing the guise of cooperation and the like.If this does not work, then consider technology exchange through cooperation. "

After Zhou Ming expressed his point of view, he added a few more words.

"If we can really realize the rapid upgrading of biotechnology, this is indeed a business that is not a loss. In this way, we can not only comprehensively improve the technological level of the entire biotechnology industry, but also obtain some products that we do not have or are not advanced enough in other fields. key technologies."

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Zhou Chunli was the first to express his opinion.

Most of the scholars in the aerospace department don't know much about biology, so they can't speak.

Just like Wang Hong, the chief designer of the Huaguo space station system, he is an expert in manned space engineering management and electronic information technology. He also majored in information theory at the School of Communication Engineering in college.

Wu Hao, who is currently the chief designer of the third phase of the Huaguo Lunar Exploration Project, graduated from the Department of Electronic Technology with a major in radar and electronic countermeasures.

"If nothing goes wrong with Professor Zhou's plan, and if the results can be produced according to the plan he said, I will surpass them by a lot in terms of information alone. Our aviation side can arrange our side according to Professor Zhou's plan. matter.

In this way, when Professor Zhou Ming's research results are released, our work is almost completed and can be used.

Moreover, we can also localize some of the relevant technologies we have learned and completely transform them into technologies suitable for us.

Therefore, I think Professor Zhou's proposal is good and acceptable. "

Another old expert spoke.

Finally, after some discussion, Zhou Ming's proposal was approved.

And the duration of this meeting was not as short as Zhou Ming had imagined before. The meeting lasted for two days, and Zhou Ming did not return to Luzhou until the night of the 23rd.

As for the Institute of Space Biotechnology, you can tell from the name that it is a research institute specially established for the development of space.

In this meeting, it was decided that Zhou Ming would be the director of this unofficially established research institute. Like the Biotechnology Research Institute, its address was also set in Luzhou.

And Zhou Ming's previous space synthetic biology research project will also become an important project of this research institute. It can be said that the establishment of this research institute is to expand Zhou Ming's space synthetic biology research project.

As mentioned above, if Zhou Ming still wants to recruit people for this project, he can just recruit and ask for any equipment. Anyway, he will fully support him.

Therefore, after leaving the capital and returning to Luzhou, Zhou Ming approached the leader of the University of Science and Technology on the 24th, and told him about the establishment of a space biotechnology research institute in Luzhou.

The reason why he told the school leaders about this matter was that Zhou Ming wanted them to convene the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine of Hua Guo University of Science and Technology and the School of Life Medicine and Engineering in Suzhou, as well as the School of Chemistry and Materials Science. Leaders, he wants to communicate with them about cooperation.

Although Zhou Ming's reputation in the University of Science and Technology is already very high, he can't just say what he says. There is no document on it, and they haven't received a notice. Naturally, they are skeptical of what Zhou Ming said.

This is Zhou Ming, if other people say that, they don't even half believe it, they just don't believe it.

"We just applied to establish a life sciences research institute not long ago, and the higher-ups are planning to set up a space biotechnology research institute in Luzhou so soon. It's not that I don't believe it, but I feel that the above-mentioned actions are a bit too fast. .”

Liu Lihua, the current president of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, said to Zhou Ming after he had finished talking about the Institute of Space Biotechnology.

"I just came back from the capital. It won't take time for the documents to be issued. If you don't believe me, I'll call you now, Dean Zhou. He was also there at the time."

With that said, Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone, ready to make a call to Zhou Chunli, the honorary principal of Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

"No, no, I believe, I believe." Seeing that Zhou Ming was about to make a call, Liu Lihua quickly stopped Zhou Ming and said to Zhou Ming.

……

After returning to Luzhou from the capital, Zhou Ming began to recruit troops to expand his research team.

And the first goal of his expanded research team was placed on Huaguo University of Science and Technology. After Liu Lihua notified the professors of the various colleges that could have a relationship with Zhou Ming's research, he also began to develop with them one after another. cooperation.

In fact, this kind of cooperation is a good thing for Zhou Ming, for HKUST, and for those professors who cooperate with Zhou Ming or join Zhou Ming's team.
