"Executive members, let me ask some questions to Liu Lang first!"
As expected, the person who spoke was Liu Lang guessing that one of the two people was speaking.
"Liu Lang, my name is Powell. As an executive member of the federation, I am questioning the project you applied for!"
"question?"
Many executive committee members frowned slightly. What the hell are you questioning about a stove?
However, this is the right of the executive committee, and no one can deprive the other party of their rights.
Liu Lang looked at the other party and said slowly: "Mr. Powell, what questions do you have?"
"First of all, I want to tell you that AOD electric furnaces are industrial goods embargoed by the United States. Under normal circumstances, they are not allowed to be exported. It is only the federation that has its own purpose that will introduce AOD electric furnaces to your country. However, the federation only provides
Provide you with the techniques and equipment used for testing
The equipment is not allowed to be used in industry. Now I doubt whether you will fully fulfill the requirements of the federation. You must know that your country is a powerful country. Huaxia University has no autonomy at all. If your country asks
You ask for an electric stove, what will you do?"
The other party was aggressive and asked a pointed question.
"Mr. Powell, when it comes to power, even a four-year-old kid like me thinks that no country in the world can compare with the United States. It is the largest powerful country in the world!"
Liu Lang smiled slightly and said.
His answer immediately aroused laughter from everyone. Yes, the United States relies on its powerful force to show off its power in the world. No one dares to provoke it. Even another superpower, the Soviet Union, is trembling with fear. It is precisely because of the powerful strength of the United States that
All Americans have a sense of pride, so Liu Lang's words did not arouse everyone's resentment. Instead, they secretly "applauded" Liu Lang for "knowing current affairs".
"How can technology show its ability to drive the world? I think it is not in the laboratory, but in the daily lives of ordinary people. Our ultimate goal of introducing AOD electric furnaces is to master the technology of new materials and finally apply it to everyone
body, I don’t deny this, but it takes time, not an electric stove
What can a furnace with only 100 kilowatts do? It can't do anything at all. If it is applied to industry, even if it is produced in a year, it will probably be able to produce hundreds of tons of steel. With this little material
Can it be used in industry? It’s simply nonsense, so I think Mr. Powell’s question is illogical.”
Liu Lang said directly.
"snort……!"
Powell snorted coldly and said nothing. He thought he could question the other party, but now it seems that he underestimated Liu Lang.
"Liu Lang, I am Howard, the executive committee member. You just said that China needs to master the technology of stainless steel. I am very disgusted with your approach of getting something for nothing. You must know that we in the United States have spent decades on stainless steel.
The smelting technology was mastered through continuous research and experimentation, and you only need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an electric furnace and then master the technology. This is unethical behavior. If this behavior becomes the norm, then we still have
What intellectual property rights?”
Another person spoke.
"Mr. Howard, stainless steel technology is only the most superficial smelting technology. As far as I know, developed countries in the United States and Europe have mastered this technology for decades. Now a large number of cars and airplanes use stainless steel materials. Will they?
What about paying intellectual property fees for this material? So what you're saying doesn't hold true.
In addition, to put it bluntly, although China is lagging behind, it is not difficult to master this smelting technology. It will only take one or two years to conquer this technology. The technical support from the Federation is only a little
It just promotes our speed... Any technology must continue to develop. Einstein is a German, but the theory of relativity he discovered allows you to have satellites; Newton is an Englishman, and the whole world has developed because of Newton's laws.
Change is the same as technology. Once it is invented and created, it will eventually benefit all mankind. This is a historical trend. No one can stop the expansion of technology. Your thinking is still too backward. A true scientist must look at the whole world.
Human beings, I believe it is this kind of thinking that allows the Federation to take action to support those backward countries. If even a small stove can attract so many doubts, then it will really disappoint me!"
Liu Lang retorted unceremoniously.
"you………!"
At this time, the other party had nothing to say. Liu Lang's words praised the federation, but also had a hint of irony towards him. Howard was indeed not a scientist, just a politician.
"Well, that's well said! Liu Lang, the purpose of our association is indeed as you said, so be it! Now let's vote by a show of hands. If you agree with this project, please raise your hands!"
Gutierrez was also very dissatisfied with the doubts of those two people. Does a bigger project need to be so laborious? Moreover, those two people are not scientists and only joined the federation because of their political status. For
Politicians and scientists have always had deep prejudices. They feel that politics is full of filth. Only scientists are the driving force for human progress and the most noble profession in the world. Liu Lang's words obviously suit them well.
After Gutierrez finished speaking, except for those two people, everyone else raised their hands in agreement.
"Okay, nine votes in favor! Those who object, please raise your hands!"
Gutierrez said again.
The two looked at each other and realized that it was pointless for them to object. In order to give a good impression to the other executive committee members, they chose to abstain.
"We abstain!"
The two of them spoke.
"Okay, nine people agreed, two abstained, passed!"
This simplest project was finally decided.
The review meeting was over, and most of the executive committee members immediately stood up, first shook hands with Wan Anding and the two of them to express congratulations, then packed up their things and turned to leave. Their time was precious, and no one was willing to stay here for a moment longer.
It's those two guys, it's really annoying that the review meeting that should be over in ten minutes has to last for more than an hour, and the questions they ask are so boring.
Powell and Howard also felt the dissatisfaction expressed by other executive committee members and committee members. They did not say a word, picked up their bags and turned to leave. They originally wanted to stop the project, but Liu Lang dismissed it easily.
, this child not only has superior intelligence, but also has the same knowledge as an adult. I really can’t imagine how such a child was raised.
"Okay Liu Lang, your mission has been completed. Next, the Federation will send an inspection team to your Huaxia University to inspect. You can go back and prepare."
Ding Huaizhong was relieved at this moment, as the project was basically decided.
"Then let's go back to China and wait!"
Liu Lang also let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's say goodbye. This is my business card. If you come to the United States again in the future, you can contact me. If you want to study abroad, then come to me!"
Ding Huaizhong handed a business card to Liu Lang.
"Thank you Professor Ding. You have helped us a lot this time. If you return to China in the future, we will welcome you with the warmest ceremony!"
Zhang Xianchu couldn't help but thank the other party.
"This is what I should do!"
Liu Lang, Zhang Xianchu, Wan An and the executive committee members shook hands and said goodbye.
