Chapter 226: Successful Launch of the Navigation Satellite! Nationwide Celebration! (Part 1/4)

At this time, far across the ocean in America.

Many experts in the aerospace field gathered for a meeting.

Everyone was summoned on short notice.

“Good morning, everyone. We’ve just received news that China is developing the Beidou navigation satellite,” an elderly man with white hair entered the meeting room and said with a serious face.

“Mr. Smith, hasn’t China always been developing the Beidou navigation satellite? If I remember correctly, they have been working on it for quite some time.”

“I might not have been clear. The Beidou navigation satellite that China is currently developing is more advanced than the one we are using,” Smith rephrased.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don’t dare to claim anything else, but in the aerospace field, we, America, are unmatched! Even Saudi can’t compare with us!”

“I thought the same! But according to the information we’ve received so far, the atomic clock they are manufacturing is only one-third the size and one-fifth the weight compared to what we are currently using,” Smith said with a very grave expression on his face.

“Mr. Smith, could the information you received be false information deliberately released by China?” someone expressed doubt.

“This information is definitely true! However, we haven’t obtained the design drawings of the atomic clock. We are trying to get the design drawings through various means,” Smith answered.

“Many of the talents in China’s aerospace system were trained by us. Based on my understanding of these people, they simply don’t have this capability.”

“The person who made the design drawings wasn’t trained by us! This person has never even been to our America!” Smith said.

“Mr. Smith, what’s going on? Who is this person you’re talking about?”

“Yeah! The person capable of making the design drawings must be extraordinary!”

“You guys might not even recognize this person! I was also very surprised when I heard his name because when I first learned of his name, he was a rising star in mathematics,” Smith said.

“A rising star in mathematics? Do you mean this person is a mathematician?”

“Yes!” Smith nodded and said, “This person is likely the top mathematician in China and even in the world!”

“I know who you’re talking about! His name is Tang Feng! China’s top mathematical genius!”

Smith’s gaze fell on the person who spoke.

“Mr. Smith, is this person you’re talking about Tang Feng?”

“Yes!” Smith nodded and said, “The design drawings of the atomic clock were made by him!”

“He is the top mathematician? How did he get involved in the aerospace system?”

“I’m not sure of the specifics, but the design drawings of the atomic clock were indeed provided by him,” Smith answered.

“Mr. Smith, what’s the purpose of this meeting?”

“I just wanted to let everyone know that we are also planning to launch a new plan! We aim to successfully launch a more accurate navigation satellite within two years!” Smith made his point.

“Mr. Smith, does this mean we are going to compete with China in the navigation system field?”

“Pretty much! We never took China’s satellite navigation system seriously. Based on our previous predictions, it would take China at least three years or even longer to have their own satellite navigation system. But because of Tang Feng’s appearance, China’s satellite navigation system might be completed within a year! So, we must hurry up! Go all out!” Smith’s expression was very grave.

“That’s great! We’ve been slow in our project progress because we couldn’t find a competitor. Now that we have a competitor, we will definitely get more financial support!” the attending experts became excited one after another.

“Don’t be overly optimistic! If the navigation satellite developed by China surpasses ours in accuracy, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on us! So, in the coming period, we must focus all our energy on developing an atomic clock that is smaller and lighter than China’s,” Smith threw cold water on their excitement!

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow. Celebrating too early often leads to disappointment.

“Mr. Smith, you shouldn’t be so pessimistic. China has only released the design drawings of the atomic clock; whether they can actually manufacture it is still unknown! After all, China is behind us in many aspects of the industrial field! The situation won’t change completely just because of one person’s appearance!”

“Yeah! We’ve been developing in the aerospace field for many years! Many of the technologies China is developing are even those we’ve discarded. Just a design drawing doesn’t prove anything! To get our attention, we at least have to wait until the atomic clock is manufactured!”

“Whether the design drawing can actually be manufactured is still unknown. Maybe it’s just theoretical. Anyway, I personally think this news is deliberately released by China!”

Seeing them going back and forth, Smith couldn’t help but shake his head.

He was very clear in his heart that his compatriots had been arrogant for a long time!

It’s precisely because of this mindset that everyone lacks a sense of urgency in their research projects.

In fact, he was the same.

Since Saudi Arabia’s aerospace industry declined, America had no competitors!

How lonely it is to be invincible!

Even if China’s scientists were given ten or even twenty years, they couldn’t achieve America’s current accomplishments!

Maybe these experts are right.

Their leaders are indeed a bit too anxious.

However, now that the plan has been announced, in the coming years, the whole team will definitely try to develop a more accurate navigation satellite!

Only by doing so can they leave China far behind!

Not giving the competitor a chance to catch up!

“That’s it! Today’s meeting is over! Everyone, go back and think about how to develop the next generation of navigation satellites,” Smith declared.

Everyone stood up and left the place.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, America held a press conference!

They announced the plan to develop a new generation of navigation satellites!

This news immediately shocked the world!

Before five o’clock in the morning, Tang Feng was still asleep when his phone rang.

He groggily grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.

“Director Tang! Are you still sleeping?” Sun Dong’s voice came from the other end.

“Old Sun!” Tang Feng suddenly woke up!
