The high-speed rail ticket is bought.

But Jinling, after all, still did not go.

Director Li just left the building of the Science and Technology Bureau, and the phone of the higher-level ministry called him and asked him to go to Chang'an Street for an important temporary meeting.

As for the content of the meeting, it is naturally related to the aerospace plane that has just been successfully launched...

Inside a conference room on Chang'an Street.

When Director Li arrived, many people have already arrived.

He and the department leaders greeted each other. When Li went to his position and sat down, he quickly observed the attendees, and his face suddenly appeared a surprised expression.

What surprised him was not that the meeting was hosted by the elders, but the attendees attending the meeting were of a high level and many departments. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of his superior department need not say much, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Department of Equipment...and even the top leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are sitting here.

The lineup is really amazing.

Instead of wasting time observing other people, Secretary Li extended his hand to the stack of hands in front of him, about a thick document, and turned it over to the body.

When he saw the title of the first line, his eyes suddenly appeared a bit blank.

Aerospace Strategic Bomber Project

It turned out to be...

No wonder this meeting is so sudden.

The meeting will begin soon.

There was not much opening remarks, and after the meeting's moderator announced the start of the meeting, the discussion quickly entered the topic.

The first thing that got up and spoke was naturally the Minister of Qin of the Air Force Equipment Department.

I saw this majestic old man standing up and opening his mouth with a steady and powerful voice.

"With the successful launch of the Xiangrui, it is obvious that the electric propulsion technology has matured. I think that with the frequent aerospace activities, the war mode we are familiar with will undergo earth-shaking changes. Fortunately we are already in the field. Seizing the opportunity, I believe that this advantage should be maintained, using electric propulsion technology in the field of national defense, and developing a military-purpose space plane that can cruise above 100 kilometers!"

"... With regard to this proposal, I have consulted the experts of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute and summarized the contents of the summary in the relevant report, which is 3-24 pages of the document in your hands."

"I hope that you can seriously consider this proposal."

Minister Qin’s speech was recognized by some people.

But not all.

After he sat down, a dissenting person from other departments stood up and spoke in a cautious manner.

"I think this matter still has to be carefully considered. The current international form is not optimistic for us. If we choose to apply space technology to the military field at this point in time, we will develop outer space weapons for non-defensive purposes. Caused the vigilance of other countries."

Minister Qin’s face did not change, and he got up and spoke again.

"Strategic deterrence is also a part of national defense. Moreover, it is not only us who are studying aerospace weapons, including the US x-37b and x-43 plans, and even completed the first flight test flight a few years ago. There is a plan for the Russian code 'h5', which explicitly discloses the strategic requirements for the air-to-air bomber, requiring it to carry out a 10 Mach supersonic cruise at 100 km altitude and the ability to launch a strategic strike against ground targets."

"Even if we do not take the initiative to provoke a military conflict, we should pay attention to the development of such weapons!"

The discussion at the meeting lasted for more than half an hour.

A light cough interrupted the discussion.

I saw the old man sitting at the top of the conference table, slowly nodded and said.

"I agree with Minister Qin."

"Airplanes must be done."

"Of course, we have to comply with international treaties."

"The limited development of outer space weapons, mainly based on conventional weapons. Without first developing non-conventional weapons, we will not deploy weapons for the first time. Unless other countries take the initiative to send unconventional weapons into outer space, we will never take the initiative to unconventional weapons. Send it first."

In fact, unconventional weapons and conventional weapons are sometimes just a matter of replacing a warhead. However, the nominal development of only the necessary conventional weapons is quite helpful in reducing the sensitivity of the international community to the issue.

After a pause, the old man continued.

“In addition, we have previously underestimated the importance of space exploration and placed relevant plans at a secondary priority. I think that in our strategic deployment, some adjustments should be made. In addition to our competitors. In addition to strategic containment, a series of space activities, including the moon landing project, is itself a progressive research activity."

The old man’s statement was recognized by almost all the participants present.

Even those who have doubts about the development of aerospace strategic bombers, even those who have questioned the practical significance of the space program, do not doubt the importance of the moon landing project at this moment.

Negotiations on controllable fusion have come to an end, and China has already exchanged sufficient benefits from other countries. At this time, it is of little significance to continue to use aerospace engineering as a strategic guise to contain the United States and Europe.

Especially from the success of Xiangrui, people with a little vision have already seen the dawn of the space age.

Once the energy problem is solved, the next step is resources.

As the outpost of the future of the course, whoever masters the moon, whoever has the future.

In the following time, the meeting discussed a lot of things.

Including a new aerospace industrial park along the Yangtze River and along the railway line from Jinling to Yanjiang City, including tax-free, low-interest loans, supporting policies, etc., to attract private capital into the field.

Time passed by, and finally reached the end of the meeting.

It was the top of the space agency that stood up at this time.

Although it is reasonable to say that so many ministry leaders are sitting here, the top leader of a secondary bureau is not qualified to start, but this thing is special after all...

"The last topic... is about Professor Lu," looked at the other people in front of the conference table. The space station’s first-hand expression coughed a little and said, "About a few hours ago, we received this side." Notice from the Ground Command of the Jinling Launch Center. The other person said... Professor Lu went up with the Xiangrui."

Everyone: "..."

According to the eyebrows, an old man in a military uniform took off his glasses and said with a headache.

"...I feel that I still have to help him arrange an object."

Another man sitting not far away, the more kind-eyed old man smiled and shook his head.

"Now it is different from before. I was afraid that I was too happy to be there before. I am afraid that other young people will not be able to lead you. Like my son, when I say something, he will turn over with me. ......"

"Well, what is going on here to discuss this!"

"What do you say?"

Looking at the controversial meeting room, the elders sighed.

"Forget it, let him toss it."

"It's not a bad thing anyway."
