Chapter 121: Dignity of the Common People At this time, people have not yet realized...
At that time, people had not yet realized the future development of this book, and People's Literature was also unaware of its subsequent direction.
Everyone thought that this was just an ordinary new book launch.
Until the second issue was published, the cover of People's Literature was chosen to feature a fighter jet named Qin 5-1.
The silver-gray aircraft, with its streamlined design and flat fuselage, is significantly different from today's mainstream fighter jets, at least in terms of appearance.
In the novel, this aircraft is a fifth-generation aircraft developed by Daqin, and has top-level stealth capabilities, not only radar stealth, but also optical stealth, infrared stealth, and acoustic stealth.
The ability to pull up onions on dry land is also unique, and the flying speed and suspension ability are not abandoned because of this. It is a standard hexagonal fighter.
Of course, to people today, this thing is simply a fantasy. Except in science fiction movies, it is impossible for such an aircraft to really exist. Even America and Sugre do not have such fighter jets.
But this does not prevent such fighter jets from being liked by people, and some people even specially collect the cover of this issue of People's Literature.
However, for most people, the novel "Daqin Heavy Industry" seems a bit boring, and its writing style is completely different from Li Daohua's previous books.
This can be seen from the first episode. Even though it is just the preliminary preparation, a lot of professional terms are used, and the description of Zhao Que's outfit is also very stiff.
It seems that the focus is not on how Zhao Que dresses, but just to introduce what Zhao Que wears, and various high-tech products are introduced without any effort.
"Old Yang, Old Yang, come and see!"
In a research institute, a gray-haired old man was shouting at another gray-haired old man, walking quickly towards the other person while shouting.
"I'm not deaf. Can't you see I'm busy?" Old Yang didn't turn his head. He was just busy with the calculations in his hands.
"Stop writing and come and look." The white-haired old man stuffed the magazine in his hand in front of Lao Yang, blocking his view and forcing him to read.
"I don't want to read this." Old Yang just glanced at the cover and immediately turned his head away with disgust.
It’s not that he looked down on people’s literature, but he always felt that there was not enough time. Instead of spending time relaxing, it would be better to overcome more difficulties so that the country’s scientific and technological level can be advanced.
Even when reading, he only reads books on related majors.
In fact, the white-haired old man was the same as him. When the newcomers under him first showed it to him, he didn't have the time to watch.
"Don't you want to see the fifth-generation aircraft?"
The domestic third-generation aircraft was proposed in 1982 and the project was launched in 1986. So far, no third-generation aircraft has been successfully developed.
Hearing the old man's words, Lao Yang was shocked, thinking that America had already figured it out. If so, the gap between them and America would be even greater.
The gap between each generation of fighter jets cannot be made up simply by the number of aircraft. No matter how many third-generation aircraft there are, they will be powerless against the fifth-generation aircraft.
Now he had to pick up the magazine. The unique plane on the cover made Lao Yang feel mixed emotions of sadness and joy.
From the perspective of ordinary people, the appearance of fighter jets is not very different. Only by deliberately memorizing can you distinguish different models.
For professionals, a fighter jet's appearance can reveal many problems.
This is also the reason why many countries are reluctant to reveal the appearance of their aircraft in advance.
The clearer the exterior photos are, the more design ideas they reveal.
Not to mention the photos in People's Literature, which are first-hand materials and look extremely clear. When you open the book, you will find more detailed black and white line drawings.
"This is... the data that has been released? They have already successfully completed the test flight and entered the service stage?"
Such clear pictures can usually only be obtained after one has served in the army. It is difficult to take such clear pictures by secretly taking pictures.
“This is a fifth-generation aircraft from science fiction.”
...Old Yang was silent for a moment and then flew into a rage: "You are just kidding, what do those novelists know about airplanes!"
"Take a closer look. I think it's still very valuable for reference. Besides, science fiction is like this. They are responsible for fantasy and we are responsible for realization. How do we know it won't work if we don't try it?"
In fact, they still like science fiction novels very much. Moreover, the big pictures that America draws sometimes are not much different from science fiction novels. They are responsible for drawing and the country is responsible for realizing them.
But later on they became less and less able to paint, or were unwilling to paint, which was a pity.
He knew Li Daohua, but had never read her novels. However, sometimes when he went home, his children would often talk about her in his ears and ask him if he knew Li Daohua and if he could get her an autograph for him.
Since his train of thought had been interrupted, Lao Yang simply took a look, and while watching, he wondered in his mind whether it was reliable or not.
After reading it, I found that what was written in the novel is still possible.
"What's next?"
"There's nothing more at the end. This is this month's issue. It's published every month. Don't you know that?"
Old Yang paced back and forth in the room with the book in his hand, and made up his mind that they should set aside another budget to buy people's literature.
Even though this may not seem like a lot of money, every penny of this budget is precious. They didn't buy much and they cancelled the order immediately after the novel was serialized.
Later, when he was having dinner, he heard that other project teams also wanted to buy one, so Lao Yang decided to save the money. Since we were all colleagues, it was only right for him to borrow it to have a look.
"Oh, a new plane? Qin 5-1? What plane is this?"
In the dormitory of Aviation University, a boy was putting posters on the wall of his bed and was seen and teased by his roommate.
"Daqin fifth-generation aircraft, a hexagonal all-round fighter."
"Da Qin? Qin Shi Huang's Qin?"
"Yes, this is the first fighter jet that appeared in Daqin Heavy Industry. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"She is beautiful, but which military company is Daqin Heavy Industry? Why have I never heard of it?" The boy fiddled with his tape recorder. He danced in bell-bottom pants in the square these past few days and met many girls.
"Daohua's new novel, Daqin Heavy Industry, is something every college student should read carefully."
"Novel, then your plane is just a showpiece, it looks good but is not useful."
The boy who was putting up the poster ignored him and just continued putting it up. It couldn't really be considered a poster, he just cut out the cover of People's Daily.
Ouyang Yuan and his team have actually already printed the posters, but only one fighter jet has been exposed so far. They will have to wait for two more issues before several more products are released and launched together.
He also went to the factory and asked the workers there to make fighter jet models out of iron sheets and spray-painted them. This was not cheap, and it was even more expensive if you wanted to make it more detailed, and it also had to be polished manually at the end.
Not many models were made. According to Li Daohua's suggestion, there is a special display stand for the fighter jet. The metal bracket allows the fighter jet to appear in a flying posture on the stand.
After it was made and assembled, Ouyang Yuan immediately placed one on his desk, next to the little red flag.
Everyone who comes to his office sees this special ornament at first glance.
But after asking about the price, most people are discouraged. For them, such an ornament that can neither run nor fly and can only be displayed for viewing is still too luxurious.
The cover of the third issue of People's Literature is an aircraft carrier. Currently, only India in Asia owns an aircraft carrier. Even if it was bought from Britain, it is a real aircraft carrier.
Moreover, this aircraft carrier has successfully participated in wars and achieved good results.
The country has also been developing aircraft carriers, which is a must. Only with aircraft carriers can the navy truly have the ability to conduct long-distance operations.
Before Ouyang Yuan and his team's genuine posters appeared, the pirated posters had already reacted.
Many small vendors specifically sell posters at school gates, and students are the main buyers of the posters.
Before, I bought pictures of all kinds of celebrities, both foreign and domestic, male and female, and pasted them anywhere I could, at home and school.
Now there are more military posters. The chance of being scolded by your parents if you buy these posters is not as great as that of celebrity posters.
Although that group of public intellectuals jumped out to make all kinds of sarcastic remarks, some of them do this as a profession, while for some it is really their nature.
This time, I will make a slight change and not curse Li Daohua. After all, Li Daohua's offensive power is obvious to all. Instead, I will curse the domestic situation and write a short essay.
Let’s say, they love their country deeply and are very critical of it. They also love their country, but who loves them?
They don't care about the rise of big countries, they only care about the dignity of ordinary people. They hope that the country will stop investing money in the research of these things and pay more attention to the people around them who can't afford to eat or wear clothes.
What good is it to have fighter jets and aircraft carriers? Can it allow everyone to afford food and clothes? It is better to share this money with everyone.
Li Daohua didn't know about this at first. She was busy looking at the first chapter of the comic book that had just been drawn. It was quite nice-looking. In particular, in order to highlight the culture of the Qin Dynasty, they also interspersed ink painting techniques in the comics, which was very different from the current hard pen painting style.
It was the editorial department of Jiuzhou who told her about this, and the editorial department of Jiuzhou has already launched a counterattack against such remarks.
However, the public intellectuals' evasive attacks temporarily deceived many people who did not see their true purpose.
In Li Daohua's opinion, the counterattack from the editorial department of Jiuzhou did not hit the point.
"Instead of spending money on military expenses, should we spend it on war reparations? A dog that kneels down is always afraid of a man who stands up.
Why are some people afraid that the country will invest money in scientific research? The fact that those who lag behind will be beaten has been revealed only forty years ago, and some people are trying to create a backward country again.
For those who say this, I suggest sending them to the front line, using the most backward equipment to protect their dignity and see if they can keep it. Your dignity is with you. "
Li Daohua published a book called "Dignity Jihad" and strongly recommended these people to go to the front line.
It was also written that the soldiers were not there to protect these things, and suggested that they protect themselves.
They protect themselves, which is in line with the freedom, human rights and dignity they usually advocate...
They use the most backward ones, of course, because they don't want the country to develop science and technology, so that's what they wish.
As for how backward the weapons are, Li Daohua's suggestion is that she is not a devil, and the slash-and-burn farming method is a stone knife, but it is a knife after all, and it does not leave them unarmed.
They are still allowed to keep their clothes on, which is really conscientious and a contemporary moral role model.
This group of public intellectuals ignored Li Daohua. They couldn't afford to offend her, and they couldn't scold her enough, so they just pretended not to see anything. Anyway, they were professionals when it came to being shameless.
