Chapter 227: Thank You for the Surprises You Always Bring Me (Part 1/3)

China’s television station also broadcasted this news during the 7 p.m. news slot.

Smith, far across the ocean, panicked upon hearing this news.

Initially, he and the experts in the aerospace field thought that China was merely bluffing!

Just pulling out a few model photos trying to fool the whole world!

He was waiting for the three-month deadline to mock them!

Unexpectedly, just one month passed, and China successfully launched a navigation satellite!

The speed was too fast!

So fast that it exceeded his imagination!

He really couldn’t accept that this news was true.

He immediately made phone calls to verify.

And the news turned out to be true.

This also meant that from now on, China owned its own navigation system!

China became the third country in the world to have its own independent navigation system!

And it might very well be the last!

Originally, everyone thought that it would take at least three years for China to have its own independent navigation system.

Even if luck was not on their side, surpassing the deadline given by the international organization, they would completely lose the right to have an independent navigation system!

Who knew that China would deliver such impressive results in such a short time!

He was so jealous that he was almost going mad!

He quickly convened a meeting.

Unlike the previous meetings, this time the experts attending had heavy expressions, as if they had been hit hard!

After all, they previously believed that the photos Tang Feng showed at the press conference were merely models!

They were all waiting to see the joke on China and the entire Beidou Phase Two project team!

Unexpectedly, not only did China complete the development of the navigation satellite, but it also successfully launched it in such a short time!

It was outrageously, incredibly fast!

“Gentlemen, I believe you’ve seen the announcement from China! And after verification from multiple sources, China indeed successfully launched the navigation satellite! This means that China becomes the third country, after Pretty Country and Sha Country, to have a navigation satellite!”

“From the start of the plan to completion, China took less than half a year!”

“This speed is quite astonishing!”

“Originally, we estimated that it would take China five to ten years to successfully develop the navigation satellite!”

“The international organization agreed with our judgment! So, the deadline given was only four years.”

“But unexpectedly, Tang Feng’s appearance greatly shortened the time!” Smith said these words with great emotion.

“Mr. Smith, who exactly is Tang Feng? Is he from the future? How could he possibly have so many core technologies!” someone asked.

“The future? That doesn’t exist! We live in a real world, not a fantasy world,” Smith answered.

“This man is really terrifying! With talents like him, China is expected to achieve even more in the aerospace field in no time! It looks like we also need to hurry up!”

“According to the data published by China, the navigation satellite developed by Tang Feng’s team can achieve an accuracy of two meters. Currently, our navigation satellites have an accuracy of about three meters. This difference might seem small, but when magnified infinitely, the gap is quite significant,” Smith said, his expression very serious.

“It seems we must speed up the development of a new generation of navigation satellites! Otherwise, countries and companies that use our navigation system software might very well turn to China! By then, the situation would become very unfavorable for us!”

“I will report to the higher authorities to seek more financial support! You can also draft a list to see if we can transfer some experts from other projects! Anyway, we must catch up with the navigation satellite developed by China as soon as possible!” Smith made a quick decision.

“Mr. Smith, I think you shouldn’t be too nervous. Although the navigation satellite led by Tang Feng’s team is somewhat more advanced than what we are currently using, the gap is not that significant! As long as we give our all, it shouldn’t take long to develop a better navigation satellite!”

“As for the partners, they won’t easily fall into China’s arms! After all, switching to a new navigation system involves a significant cost! And the risks involved are also great! Once they give up cooperating with us, it will be too late to regret when we develop a more advanced navigation satellite.”

“I understand what everyone is saying. Anyway, let’s start working immediately! From today, everyone! Remember, I said everyone! Will have to work overtime at night! And all weekends off are canceled! Don’t even think about vacations! Once the new navigation satellite is successfully launched, I will compensate you for these holidays!” Smith made the arrangements!

Everyone looked at each other.

But no one objected!

After all, when faced with major issues, everyone knew what was important!

If they sought temporary pleasure and compromised America’s advantage in the navigation system, they would not end well!

And taking advantage of this opportunity, they would also receive more financial support!

Not only could they make money, but they might also create new history!

Then, Smith announced the end of the meeting!

He hurriedly left the meeting room to report to the Space Administration!

The leader was already waiting for him!

“Mr. Smith! Please, take a seat!” the leader greeted him!

Smith sat down on the sofa.

The leader personally poured him a glass of water.

“Mr. White, I apologize, I was just in a meeting, so I came a bit late,” Smith said apologetically.

“No problem!” White waved his hand, saying, “I want to hear your thoughts on China’s successful launch of the navigation satellite.”

“Clearly, the impact of this event on us is huge! Even larger than we imagined!”

“Originally, we thought China was just showing off with a few photos! But a month after the press conference, they completed the successful launch of the navigation satellite!”

“You know, it took us five years to develop the previous generation of navigation satellites!” Smith sighed.

“According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, the main reason China could complete this plan in such a short time is mainly due to that man named Tang Feng,” White said.

“He really is impressive! I once searched for some information about him online! He can be described as a polymath!” Smith responded.

“When I first learned about him, he had just solved six world-class mathematical problems! At that time, the president of the International Mathematicians Association, Lawrence, personally led a team to fly to China to award him a prize! Originally, he wanted to invite him to study in America, but was decisively rejected by him.”
