Chapter 349

Northwest China, Space Launch Center.

Academician Xie sat in the office, looking at the work report leisurely.

The proud student Fang Heng sat across from him, grinning from ear to ear, reporting the latest situation in high spirits.

"Mr. Xie, the cooperation with Sanqing has been a great success, especially after the outbreak of the influenza accident on the International Space Station, the external reaction was very strong. The public praised the medical conditions of the space station, which was at the forefront of the world. It’s going up every day, but the situation is good.”

"Recently, Germany, Gaul, and other countries in Europe have called to inquire. They are very envious of this portable monitor, and want to equip their astronauts with it."

"I told them according to what you said. After astronauts from various countries enter the Tiangong space station to work, we will treat them equally and provide the same medical equipment, including this portable monitor."

"We have already reached an agreement with the Europa Space Agency to jointly build the experimental module. We will provide the platform, and they will provide the equipment in the module. After the construction is completed, it will be connected to the Tiangong space station, and their astronauts can officially enter the space station to work. gone."

"Currently, the three astronauts from Germany, Gaul, and Yidili have been in the launch center for a long time to adapt to training. I just visited them yesterday. Need to get used to it at work."

When Fang Heng said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Academician Xie couldn't help but smile: "Chinese is probably a bit difficult for them, but there is no way, the platform is ours, the equipment and system are all in Chinese, no matter how difficult it is, you have to learn to adapt. Everything is difficult at the beginning, just get used to it. .”

Fang Heng suddenly looked serious, and said with some hesitation: "There is one more thing. The Mars Group, the richest man in Eagle Country, Mabus, also came to inquire about cooperation matters. Their Falcon carrier rocket will send 4 ordinary passengers into space in the near future. For the 3-day trip, for the sake of customers’ health, Mars Group is eager to equip them with Sanqing’s portable monitors.”

"I haven't given an answer to this question yet, and I want to hear your opinion."

Academician Xie smiled slightly, and asked back with some test: "What do you think?"

Fang Heng thought for a while and said, "Of course I can't agree. Although the Mars Group accepts business orders and sends ordinary people, they are also going to the International Space Station. Isn't that the same as directly using it for NASA?"

"Unless the Mars Group sends all customers to our space station, that's about the same. You can think about it."

"However, this is not a bad idea. When the International Space Station is decommissioned, the Eagle Country will be useless. If the Mars Group wants to receive business orders, we have only one choice. Hehe, that is a big order of [-] million per person, hahaha. "

When Fang Heng thought of the scene of receiving business orders at Tiangong Space Station, he rubbed his hands expectantly.

Academician Xie said with a smile: "You, don't think so much, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, maybe they have created a new space station by themselves."

Fang Heng shook his head again and again, and categorically denied: "The International Space Station cost more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars, and all countries worked together to build it. It is not impossible for Eagle Country to build it alone. The question is, is he willing to spend another 1000 billion U.S. dollars?"

"You're right, let's go back like this." Academician Xie nodded, and asked again: "What did Sanqing say?"

"Mr. Wei said that the aerospace version of the monitor was developed in cooperation with us, and it is an aviation secret technology. We can make a decision, and they have no objection."

Academician Xie pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "Xiao Wei has a heart."

"I reckon that after Sanqing, it will develop towards medical devices, but the hospital's device market has long been divided up by the giants, and the water is very deep here. It's not as simple as medicine, but space medical is a relatively unpopular emerging industry." The market has a lot to offer."

"The space station is small and does not require much equipment, but they are all relatively high-end, and the cost is not a problem. It is worth their investment. It can also be combined with Sanqing's strong point-medicine, and developed as a whole, which is very promising."

"Aerospace plus medical treatment is quite eye-catching and suitable for publicity. At the same time, the technical content is also high enough. It is a very good stage. In the future, you can strengthen cooperation with Sanqing in the field of medical equipment and see what else they can come up with to make it more popular." It’s something that catches people’s eyes.”

Fang Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in surprise: "Mr. Xie, are you so optimistic about them?"

"But Sanqing currently only has one portable monitor. It's hard to say whether it has the ability to develop other medical equipment. Even if it has the ability, when they develop it, it will have to wait until when."

Academician Xie said with a smile: "You have to take steady steps, don't stride too far, take it slowly step by step."

"With Sanqing's technology and attitude, I have no doubt that they will contract all the medical equipment for the space station one day."

******
Eagle Country, NASA Headquarters.

Nelson was sullen and sulking.

Recently, Maoxiong Space Agency announced that it would kill the pick, which caused him a lot of headaches.

This decision caught NASA by surprise. It really pierced the lungs. It made him very angry, but he couldn't do anything.

Because the power system of the International Space Station is located in Mao Xiong's cabin, if Mao Xiong withdraws, the space station will have no power system to use, so it can only be decommissioned directly, and the loss caused is simply incalculable.

The space station worth 500 billion US dollars will be directly destroyed because of Mao Xiong's willfulness.

With this "big killer" in hand, the Maoxiong Space Agency has always had no scruples and can do whatever it wants.

As they threatened, the bears are fully capable of crashing the International Space Station on Europa and the mainland of Eagle Country at any time.

Of course, Nelson has also considered the solution, either to buy all the cabins of Mao Xiong, which will cost a huge sum of money, because the other party will definitely pay a heavy sum.

Another option is to cooperate with Mabuse's Mars Group to launch a new module to replace the old power system.

But the price was not that cheap. Nelson had already received the offer from Mabuse, and the long string of numbers made him feel pained just by looking at it.

Moreover, according to Mabuse's urgency, every launch, or even an adjustment of the posture, will cost a lot of money, and the specific price is directly proportional to the urgency of NASA's needs.

"Fake, they are all a group of thousand-year-old foxes, none of them are easy to deal with."

Nelson frowned, his face clouded with gloom.

"Boss, good news, the budget for next year has been approved. $260 billion, not a penny cut."

The subordinates ran in excitedly and reported the good news.

This is the best news in the near future, and it finally managed to bring a smile to Nelson's face.

However, the next piece of news reported by his subordinate immediately made his smile disappear without a trace.

"The Huaxia Space Administration rejected Mabuse's invitation to cooperate? Faker, our intentions have been seen."

Nelson was instantly furious. Damn it, don’t you just want to borrow some of your latest equipment to improve the poor medical environment on the International Space Station and protect the health of the astronauts?
Although it may be disassembled to study it, it is absolutely guaranteed to be put back intact so that no one can see it.

Rejecting such a humanitarian thing is too much, and it is simply not a son of man.

These orientals are too vengeful.

Isn't it just that you were previously rejected to join the International Space Station?
Last year, I applied for a cooperation project with the Tiangong Space Station, but it was rejected.

He even gave a ridiculous reason, saying that the scientific and technological content of the space experiment project that Eagle Country applied for was too low and worthless, and he was unwilling to provide precious space station resources for this purpose.

This is not unbelievable, but you immediately rejected the space station cooperation applications from Bull Country, Maple Leaf Country, and Kangaroo Country, so what happened?

As for?Does it have to be so obvious?It's too petty.

Nelson's anger reached its peak in the third message.

"Astronauts from Germany, Gaul, and Italy have been training in China for half a year, and they are expected to enter the Tiangong space station by the end of the year to start work?"

Bang!
Nelson took the case and said, "It's simply too much. This is a direct slap in the face of our NASA."

After he breathed out fragrant words and cursed Europa's allies, he looked at his subordinates who stood motionless and stunned, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

"What? Is there anything else?"

The subordinate tremblingly said: "Philips and GE gave the final answer, saying that they can't meet your requirements, they can't make a portable monitor like Sanqing, and it doesn't matter how much money they have."

"What?" Nelson yelled, "These idiots, why are they so out of their wits?"

"You give me the number of the president of GE. I'll tell him."

With a cold face, Nelson picked up the call from the president of GE Healthcare.

"I am very dissatisfied with your answer. You are not even willing to try more, even if you are not willing to provide a sub-level solution. It is very unprofessional and very disappointing."

Murphy, the president of GE Healthcare, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and said with a dry smile, "Mr. Nelson, what advice do you have? I'm all ears."

Nelson sneered and said, "Why don't you buy Sanqing's ECG monitoring module, and then add a few life parameter monitoring functions to it? Isn't this a feasible solution? Or is it that your poor brain has never gone this far? Have you thought about it?"

"This..." Murphy was stunned for a moment, his whole body was in a bad mood.

"Our GE Healthcare is a large company with strong technology. Such a thing may damage the company's reputation, and it is easy to see from NASA, so it is not easy to deal with."

Sweat kept pouring out of Murphy's forehead, and he hesitated and replied.

Nelson scolded: "Where is your technology strength? It has been so long that you have not been able to come up with a feasible solution. You need me to find a way. You are too embarrassed to mention technology. If you don't adopt my solution, your company will not only lose its reputation. No more, no more orders."

Murphy suddenly turned pale with fright. You must know that NASA has more than 3000 suppliers around the world. It is easy to find a replacement after kicking out GE, but it is not easy to find a big customer with such wealth and wealth as NASA.

If such an important client is lost during his tenure, he can be directly removed from office.

"Mr. Nelson, I have considered your plan and it is highly feasible. I will discuss it with the R&D department immediately and give a formal plan and quotation tomorrow."

Murphy's complexion changed, and he immediately agreed, patted on his chest, for fear that Nelson would regret it.

Only then did Nelson smile with satisfaction: "You're smart, I told you earlier, this thing is not difficult to get at all, anyone can come up with a plan as long as they have the heart."

He said meaningfully: "Technology is a black box, which fool would open it and take a closer look, just don't worry."

"As long as it looks like it and works like it, it's the same thing, and no one will doubt it."

After Murphy hung up the phone, sweat poured down his forehead.

After thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that Nelson's plan was feasible.

This thing is not for the hospital, but sent to the space station, where the space is limited, there are only astronauts, and there are no professional doctors at all.

Every astronaut will only learn some simple diseases and treatment knowledge during training, and their understanding of medical equipment is very shallow.

Anyway, the space station has other professional equipment, and the portable monitor is just a backup, mainly to highlight Eagle Nation's strength in space medical technology, and it won't really rely on this equipment.

Besides, he also knew about the recent news that the flu brought down a space station. The medical conditions of the space station were so bad that the bottom line couldn't be lowered. It wouldn't matter if there was another rotten portable monitor.

This is called on-demand customization. Thinking of this, he calmly called the R&D director to study this solution together.

"This is not impossible. Sanqing's ECG monitoring module is very small, and the hardware is also sold publicly. It can be used completely. Then we can add a few other sensors to detect body temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate. parameter."

"Although the accuracy rate may not be very high, we can increase the scope and control the error within a wide range. With our GE technology and data reserves, it can be used decently, absolutely possible!"

The research and development director with firm eyes and the appearance of a strong man affirmed this plan.

"Great! The big client is finally kept." Murphy was overjoyed instantly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that it may be a little bigger, half the size of a mobile phone, so I suggest strapping it to your body." The R&D director added.

"What? That's absolutely impossible. You have to compete with Sanqing's smart watch. You must not lose in appearance, otherwise NASA will kill me." Murphy shook his head quickly and vetoed the proposal.

"In this case, some sensors may not fit in." The research and development director pondered.

"However, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, etc. are actually related to heart rate and body temperature, and a value can be estimated. This can save half of the sensors, and we only need to put the most critical sensors in."

"It's a great solution, so it's decided." Murphy nodded in agreement. He just wanted to get rid of the pot as soon as possible. The customer himself didn't care about quality, so how could he care.

Soon, GE's new products appeared on Nelson's desk.

He picked it up, put it on his hand, and looked at it carefully.

The appearance is very beautiful, the iWatch looks like a fruit, and after opening, the functions are also similar.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want."

Nelson didn't measure his body data, just took it off and threw it into the packing box.

He looked at his subordinates and issued a series of orders.

"Immediately issue an announcement, saying that we also have a brand new portable multi-functional monitor, and its functions are no worse than those of Huaxia. As for the data, you can just make up one."

"The next time we send a spacecraft, we will send it to our astronauts. Now that the morale of the army is unstable, we need such a product to boost morale, demonstrate our technical strength, and let the whole world see that our Eagle Kingdom Still majestic, not inferior to others."

The subordinate nodded and asked, "Then what if the astronaut finds something wrong after using it?"

Nelson smiled lightly: "When any technology is first developed, there will be various problems. This is a normal thing, just let them get used to it."

"Okay, I'm going to report the good news to the higher-ups, and let them see how worthwhile the 260 billion budget is."

"With such breakthrough technological progress, our new space station may be able to talk again."

After he gave his orders, he walked out with firm steps and a happy face.
