Chapter 179

Nine systems

"Done!"

Zhang Honghong looked at the correct waveform appearing on the test equipment in front of her, and finally let out a long breath.

"Well, done, Qin Miao classmate arranged our project, finally we made it, I'll go report the good news to Professor Liu!" Beside her, Teacher Zhao excitedly said.

Last year, Qin Miao proposed the concept of an anti-infantry radar; afterward, Professor Liu Yongtan firmly supported it, even halting the original project.

Although so far this anti-infantry radar shows no market prospects, they believe that as long as Qin Miao says so, there will definitely be a market, after all, Qin Miao has already driven the successful export of so many projects!

As long as they develop it, there will surely be a market, and the Nine Systems can also add another profit-making project!

"I'll give San Shui a call." Zhang Honghong also didn't know why, but the person she most wanted to tell right now was actually Qin Miao!

To develop this radar, she didn't go home for the New Year, even missed Chu Miaomiao and Qin Miao's wedding; now she needs to tell Qin Miao that she's doing it for the research project!

Before her hand even touched the phone, the phone rang.

"Hello. I'm Zhang Honghong, President Liu, what's the matter? What? You want to transfer me to a company? I won't go, I won't go to any company!"

Slap!

Zhang Honghong put down the phone.

"What a damn company, old lady… I'm not going!" Zhang Honghong shook her head: "I want to do scientific research; next, I should…"

Creak, the door opened, Professor Liu strode in: "Everyone! Good news, we've received another radar development task."

"What radar?"

"It's the millimeter-wave radar used on armed helicopters; I've looked at the technical data, and it's almost identical to our anti-infantry radar—just a simple modification would make it usable. However, the later requirement is to use the radar to guide anti-tank missiles; that's the focus of our research…"

"The combat target of armed helicopters is armored vehicles and individuals, and our anti-infantry radar's target is the same—this was Qin Miao's proposal last year, and now it's finally being put to great use; this is a $200 million R&D project!" Teacher Zhao's face was full of excitement.

Qin Miao, he practically has precognitive abilities!

"That's right." Professor Liu was very pleased: "This project, the French also want to get involved; I heard they're already promoting their own dedicated radar for armed helicopters. We must quickly improve our radar, defeat theirs with superior performance—maybe later we can even sell it to the French!"

Domestic technology lags behind; all industries are importing foreign advanced tech, but only our Ha Gong Da aims to sell our advanced products abroad!

"Okay, Professor Liu, I want to be the chief engineer for this radar!" Zhang Honghong raised her hand.

"No."

Hearing the sound at the doorway, Zhang Honghong startled, looked over, her face changed even more: "President Liu?"

She had hung up on the president's phone out of anger, but now seeing the president himself come in person, her heart… felt a little uneasy.

He is a senior scholar rigorous in his studies and of noble character; Zhang Honghong has always respected him.

"Well, Honghong, you have a more important task, even more important than developing the helicopter's airborne radar." President Liu said: "Our Ha Gong Da is about to establish an import-export company…"

"President Liu, I work on technology; this belongs to administrative management…"

"But… Comrade Qin Miao thinks you're the most suitable person."

"San Shui said that?" Zhang Honghong's tone turned serious.

Well, you little brat, you dare to scheme against me? Just wait—I'll…

"Yeah, that was me saying it." Qin Miao also walked in.

All-knowing, omnipotent—forgot who said that—but now Qin Miao knows that if he doesn't do proper ideological work on his older aunt sister, tonight he'll probably smash the door of his and Chu Miaomiao's room; if he picks a bad moment, when he and Chu Miaomiao are exploring the mysteries of the human body, wouldn't he end up scaring himself soft?

Having heard that Zhang Honghong hung up on the president's phone, he also rushed over.

"San Shui, you say, why do you want me to handle administrative work? I work on technology."

"Sister, you misunderstood; if you go to our import-export company, you'll still be doing technology."

"What technology is there in a trading company? Don't try to feed me that line of fooling foreigners!"

"Of course not, sister; we're in the import-export business, but you should also know what we import and export, right?"

"What?"

"Our Ha Gong Da's products, all kinds of weapons and equipment—take the recent contract we signed with someone named Sha, for example: we're developing an armed helicopter for that Sha, and all those technical parameters on it need to be explained by professionals; take the millimeter-wave radar we're installing—can laypeople explain those clearly? What's a fully coherent pulse Doppler radar, what's low sidelobes, can laypeople explain those clearly?"

Zhang Honghong gave it serious thought; indeed, it really does need professional explanation.

"Then why me?"

"Miaomiao knows Arabic; if I'm not mistaken, you should know it too, right?"

"I already returned it to the teacher long ago."

"As long as you get back into it, you'll pick it up quickly; next, we're focusing on the Middle East market, which will certainly require Arabic proficiency. Sister, you're such a versatile talent—our whole Ha Gong Da can't find a second one like you, especially since you're also so beautiful, with good looks and demeanor…"

"Alright, alright, enough—if that's the case, why don't you let Miaomiao take it?"

Miaomiao take it for me? Cough cough…

"Miaomiao is still in college! Sister, if you don't want to do it, just hold on for a few years; once Miaomiao graduates, I'll let her replace you."

Zhang Honghong was still hesitating when someone ran in.

"President Liu, everyone, the French are back again—they didn't just bring computer equipment, they also brought engineers from Thomson Company to help us coordinate the difficulties of the helicopter's airborne radar."

Qin Miao's eyes lit up.

"Sister, let's go; let's go over there together to take a look—when the time comes and we need to discuss related technology, you'd better show your skills."

"Honghong, go—let the French know we have our own, and it's still quite advanced, so they'd better not dream of beating us." Professor Liu spoke.

"Okay." Zhang Honghong nodded: "Then I'll go with you for a trip, but don't think this means I've agreed!"

This older aunt sister has quite agile thinking, not the straightforwardness of ordinary tech people; she can anticipate all kinds of pitfalls in advance—good, good, Qin Miao has decided: he must definitely keep this older aunt sister at Ha Gong Da's import-export company!

As long as you step out this door, from now on you won't be doing frontline scientific research—no days off, no rest at all; after being married so long, your belly hasn't even shown, older aunt sister, I'm doing this to help you!
