Chapter 35

"Little Song!"

"You must give this helicopter to my Long Lin Research Institute first!"

"This metal material, really, it's too important..."

"The economic benefits it can bring are absolutely more exaggerated than the last one!"

"I roughly estimate it can bring in trillions in added revenue!"

"..."

Seeing Liu Lao actually snatching the person directly, Zhao Lao cursed him under his breath for having no sense of professional ethics and hurriedly rushed up as well.

The exact same scene as last time played out once more.

"Old Liu, have some shame, will you!"

"Every time Little Song builds something, you come over to snatch it!"

"The things your Long Lin Research Institute studies are important, but are the things our Tian Tian Jian Institute studies not important?"

"You're getting older but losing all sense of decorum!"

"Little Song! Listen to me." Zhao Lao also grabbed Song Qi’s hand and said earnestly.

"Give this helicopter to me first! I guarantee I will open a production line at the fastest speed! I will definitely make this new helicopter fly successfully by the end of the year!"

"How about it?"

Zhao Lao’s voice was quite persuasive.

One might ask, which ordnance designer could resist the temptation of having a production line opened for their own work?

Furthermore, in Long Guo, there are at most a dozen people who have the confidence to say such things.

And Zhao Lao, Zhao Zhao Keqin, was one of them.

"Zhao Zhao Keqin!"

"Are you forcing me to beat you?"

"The last fighter jet was given to you first!"

"You said it was your area of expertise, so I endured it, but you at the Tian Tian Jian Institute study fighter jets, what do you want with a helicopter?"

"And using such low-class methods to tempt Little Song! It’s simply disgraceful for an elder!"

Liu Lao gripped Song Qi’s wrist tightly, as if afraid Song Qi would run away.

"Little Song! Don't worry!"

"Isn't it just opening a production line? At worst, your Uncle Liu will write a letter directly to the State Council. What Zhao Zhao Keqin can do, your Uncle Liu can do too!"

The impression Liu Lao had originally given Song Qi was that of a wealthy, smiling old man.

But at this moment, Liu Lao had transformed into a lion protecting its cub, shielding Song Qi firmly behind him.

Seeing the two titans of the Long Guo scientific research world, Zhao Lao and Liu Lao, at loggerheads, neither willing to yield to the other.

Wang Zhen touched his nose awkwardly, wanting to step forward as a peacemaker.

"Zhao Lao, Liu Lao! Do me, Little Wang, a favor, let's stop arguing and sit down to discuss this properly..."

"Song Qi hasn't even spoken yet..."

On the side, Li Li Xianguo, who had just been arguing with Wang Zhen, saw these two great Buddhas starting to fight and naturally knew there was nothing left for him to do.

He also hurriedly advised: "That's right!"

"This helicopter is, after all, Little Song’s product, it's better to consult Little Song’s opinion..."

The two elders heard this and seemed to think it made sense.

They turned their gazes toward Song Qi.

Waiting for Song Qi’s decision.

Song Qi pondered for a moment, then finally spoke slowly: "This new helicopter should still be given to Liu Lao’s Long Lin Research Institute..."

"Fighter jets and helicopters are indeed quite different!"

"I personally feel that if this fuselage material can be popularized, it will be even more beneficial for the development of Long Guo!"

"However, Zhao Lao, don't be too discouraged. I will package the full set of data, design blueprints, and design concepts for the new helicopter for you later. I will never let you make a wasted trip..."

"After all, you have also given our Third Institute such great support!"

"The two elders don't need to argue anymore. Casting swords for the country is the mission of our generation!"

"There is no distinction between you and me!"

"..."

After hearing Song Qi’s words.

Zhao Lao and Liu Lao were slightly stunned, then lowered their heads in shame.

That's right!

They had lived for more than half a lifetime, yet they hadn't lived as clearly as Song Qi, a junior!

As long as it is for casting swords for the country, where is there any distinction between you and me!

It is all for the prosperity and strength of Long Guo!!

On the side, Wang Zhen heard Song Qi’s words and couldn't help but hold Song Qi in even higher regard.

Casting swords for the country! Why distinguish between you and me?

Listen to that!

This linguistic art, this breadth of vision!

Even he, a Military Region Commander, couldn't say such infectious words...

This Song Qi, not only has skills in scientific research, but is also a master at mobilizing emotions!!! ===== CHAPTER 68 =====

One hour later.

Song Qi handed a thick stack of documents to Zhao Lao.

Zhao Lao was immediately beaming with joy, happy as a child.

With the design blueprints and experimental data, even without a prototype, it was actually possible to build the new helicopter.

It was just that the progress would be slightly slower than before.

Zhao Lao could afford to wait that long.

As for that new helicopter, it was naturally pocketed by Liu Lao.

The research and development of new materials cannot be completed solely by relying on data and configuration ratios; if one can touch the physical object, the R&D efficiency will definitely increase geometrically.

This was the reason Song Qi insisted on giving the new helicopter to Liu Lao.

Don't look at Song Qi as if he is usually loafing around; in fact, his heart is as clear as a mirror, and he understands the priorities of things better than anyone.

As for Wang Zhen and Li Li Xianguo, facing the joint snatching of the two great Buddhas, Zhao Lao and Liu Lao, they were destined to get nothing.

In the end, under Zhao Lao’s mediation, the matter concluded with Wang Zhen compensating Li Li Xianguo with ten old-style helicopters.

However, Wang Zhen, this Military Region Commander, did not come away empty-handed.

Zhao Lao and Liu Lao guaranteed that once there was progress in R&D, or new scientific achievements were made, or the first batch of fighter jets and helicopters were produced on the assembly line.

They would be given priority to the Northwest Military Region!

With this promise, Wang Zhen immediately beamed with joy!

Back then, in the distribution of the J-20, his Northwest Military Region was the most miserable!

Compared to the other four major military regions, the number of J-20s in the Northwest Military Region didn't even amount to a fraction of the Northern Military Region's!

This time, in the distribution of the new fighter jets and helicopters, he would definitely take back double what his Northwest Military Region had lost!

After some coordination, all four of them were smiling.

No one had any objections to this plan.

Just as Zhao Lao was holding the blueprints and asking Song Qi about a fuselage structure problem.

Outside, a tremendously noisy sound suddenly erupted.

Vaguely, Song Qi seemed to hear his own name...

Roughly shouting something like...

"Kill Song the Dog, snatch Dilraba?"
