Boss, I really don’t have any black technology that the public knows about.

There are all business elites here. After listening to the questions, their minds started working quickly. but.

The first thing they think about is not the question itself, but how to answer it.

It's definitely not possible to answer truthfully. In business, they are here to solicit sponsorships. If they cannot compare with their peers, the sponsorships they receive will be reduced.

No one wants to have less money, let alone them.

So, necessary bragging is a must.

But on the other hand, being too exaggerated can also arouse suspicion and lead to the same effect.

Therefore, you must find the right balance and make it just right.

For example, the best way is to avoid the important points and focus on describing your own strengths.

Think about coping strategies.

Turn to specific questions.

Strictly speaking, the first and second questions ask the same thing—discussing the progress of the project and what are the shortcomings.

There isn't much room for improvement here.

Records are kept for every major experiment.

The other party will know as soon as they check.

You can only avoid it as much as possible.

For the third and fourth questions, Dragon Kingdom has succeeded, so they must have a good technical route and good technical reserves.

You don’t need to think about it to answer the fifth question. The project is of course absolutely confidential and no one knows about it except the researchers.

After thinking about it, the person in charge of each company answered the question accordingly

"Our company has conducted research in the fields of strong precooling combined power engines, rocket-based combined power engines, and turbine combined power engines. Recently, all three engines have made certain breakthroughs in wind tunnel tests and can work under preset conditions. In addition, our company's security is very reliable and there has never been any leakage."

"According to observations, the engine used by Longguo is a turbine-based + scram + rocket combination engine, which is consistent with our company's strengths. The turbine-ramjet variable cycle engine used in the famous Blackbird series of reconnaissance aircraft is our product."

"I am the chief designer of Launch Alliance ala. In addition to rockets, ala also has technologies inherited from the space shuttle era. It has created a series of advanced experimental aircraft such as x33, x37b, x41, x57, etc. If we say whose technology is closest to Dragon Kingdom , then it is undoubtedly us, ala."

After the three giants finished speaking, it was the turn of the last aerospace rookie.

The aerospace rookie shrugged and said helplessly:"Our company was established relatively late, and currently we only have reusable rocket technology. Otherwise, wouldn't we use this too much?"

Hearing these words, the CEO of Launch Alliance, who had recently been disgraced by the other party's low-price strategy, grinned and felt that he had regained his place.

But three meters away, Kentley felt a chill for no reason after listening to the dictation of these business elites..

They avoided all the questions raised by Antonio. They repeatedly emphasized the strengths of their company and asked for research and development funds.

However, they did not mention the gap between the Dragon Kingdom aerospace aircraft, as well as their own shortcomings and progress.

"This proves that they have no confidence in building an aerospace plane!"

Kentele can think clearly, and so can other people.

Augustus frowned and said:"Who can tell me how big the gap is?"

CEOs, look at you, and I look at me.

In the end, we were forced to do nothing.

The scientist from ala leaned closer to the microphone and replied:"We don't know the specific gap, because we don't want to know how they solved the fusion of the three engines. of problems arising"

"Take the TBCC (turbine-based combined power engine) they used as an example. When we experimented more than ten years ago, we found that there was no way to solve the high temperature problem of the combination of the turbine and the rocket combustion chamber, nor to deal with the problem of mode switching. Even the rocket The wiring of the combustion chamber and the super-ignition combustion chamber are both difficult to solve. In addition, the investment in the scramjet engine experiment was too large, and the wind tunnel was not updated for a long time, resulting in no progress in aerodynamics for a long time, so we basically have no idea of ​​their solutions."

"The only thing that is relatively certain is that what they have adopted is not the theoretically simple RBCC (rocket-based combined power), but the seemingly more complicated TBCC, so it directly gives us a direction to explore, and relatively speaking, it should save a lot of money. less time."

The ala scientist who said this would never have thought that in fact, the first thing Zhou Tong got was rbcc, but later he extended the tbcc plan to use it. If they went directly to tbcc, they would probably have to take a lot of detours.

Back to the present.

The words of the ala scientist made the participants frown.

"How did the people of the Dragon Kingdom develop aerospace planes?"

"Why does that scientist lift us up instead?"

"Is it possible that there is a difference in details that prevents our company from getting results?"

The participants were busy discussing.

Augustus looked towards Reeves and whispered:"Do you think it is because of misleading technology that makes the other party look down on us?"

Reeves twitched his lips. Strictly speaking, this was a good thing, but for some reason, he always felt a little weird.

"Probably, right? Augustus nodded, sat back in his chair, and knocked on the table:"If we can't get a space plane within a few years, how much trouble will we encounter?""

The conference room became slightly quiet.

Antonio analyzed:"From a military perspective, thanks to the large-scale laser anti-missile system invented by Zhou Tong, our trouble is not too big. The aerospace plane can only fly into space at the first cosmic speed. A large laser can knock it down easily, of course, provided we build the laser in time"

"The aerospace plane is mainly an economic and diplomatic matter. Let Mr. Kentley talk about this. Kentele didn't expect Antonio to mention him. He was stunned and stood up and said:"Well, thank you. The economic problem is that after Longguo has a space plane, it will increase the efficiency of space resource utilization by 10 times. It is quite possible to use this Monopolize the space high-tech industry, gradually accumulate advantages, and cannibalize the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry"

"In the field of diplomacy, the test for us is much greater. Two important high-tech developments have been developed by the Dragon Kingdom twice in a row. Our high-end technological image will definitely be affected. Many forces may choose not to offend because of this, resulting in a significant reduction in our influence.."

After listening to the analysis, everyone, including the aerospace suppliers who came to ask for money, had sinking faces and were worried about the future prospects.

"So what's the solution? Augustus frowned.

Kentley suggested:"The solution is to increase investment, collect more technical information, and break through large-scale laser anti-missile and aerospace aircraft technology as soon as possible." Only breakthroughs in technology can solve the current predicament. Therefore... I suggest investing 300 billion eagle dollars to increase investment in scientific research."

"This is all we can do, issue 300 billion in bonds, establish a space development fund, and inject capital into the aerospace aircraft project."Augustus made the decision.

A week later, the news was released, and the stocks of several companies soared as expected.

At the same time, on the other side, it was time for Star Aviation Technology to go public.
