What?
Return the small satellite?
After Levi's request was passed on to the expert group.
They were stunned at first, and then they all became confused and crazy.
"Is Levi ever going to stop? We haven't even asked for anything yet, and he's already making one request after another."
"If that's not pushing the envelope, what is?"
"He only takes advantage and never suffers any loss! As soon as we proposed cooperation, he wanted the small satellite. He took advantage first and then talked about it. It's simply... I've never met such a person."
"We spent over 500 million yuan to buy the small satellite! How can we just return it?
And how much thought and time have we invested in researching it? Although we haven't produced any concrete scientific results, we've roughly glimpsed the trajectory of future technology and a vague direction of development. This single achievement alone can prevent many detours in the future and has significant guiding significance... And now, with just a casual remark from Levi, he wants to take the small satellite away?"
"No! The satellite is ours. There are still many details to study. Its value is still huge. We can't just return it like this."
"Give us another 30 years of research, and we'll still be able to make some new discoveries from small satellites."
"We can't just meet every request Levi makes. That will only make him push his limits and make us lose the initiative to cooperate. We want cooperation, not handouts! Both sides must be equal."
“…”
Scientists are clamoring for opposition.
After all, they have been studying the small satellite for nearly two years. During their day and night research, they have long developed feelings for the small satellite. Oh no, they have gradually realized the value of the small satellite and gained some benefits from this huge treasure.
How could I be willing to give it up to someone else?
If you have a treasure in your hand, even if you don’t have the key to open it, but someone asks you to give up the treasure, will you let it go?
But Levi also made it very clear that the small satellite should be returned first, and then cooperation can be carried out.
Moreover, Levi can reimburse the space agency's previous expenses for purchasing small satellites and the expenses incurred during the research process, no matter how many hundreds of millions it spent... the space agency will not suffer any financial loss.
If the small satellite is not returned, there will be no basis for mutual trust and the two sides will not be able to cooperate.
However, the technologies that Levi has at hand, those that are ready-made, visible, tangible, and feasible, cannot be accessed, learned, or mastered.
Take this into consideration.
Some people in the special department felt that it was not a bad idea to agree to Levi's conditions.
"The technology in small satellites is so advanced and far ahead of its time that we won't be able to master it even after another hundred years. It's too far away from us."
"Instead of doing that, we should seize the moment and return the small satellite to Li Wei, so that he can come up with technologies like 'artificial intelligence'. These technologies are something we can digest and absorb at this stage and can significantly improve our scientific and technological capabilities."
"Besides, the development of science and technology, and the development of industrial technology, are all about progress, one step at a time, with generations of updates and iterations. It's difficult to make leaps forward, so small satellites are ultimately just a reference. Only the technologies in Li Wei's hands can bring real benefits."
After all, the Xia people are more pragmatic, and their down-to-earth philosophy is deeply rooted in their hearts.
From a pragmatic point of view, returning the small satellite to Levi is a wiser choice, rather than holding on to an unattainable future.
And if this continues, Levi will not suffer any loss, only they will be wasting time.
so……
After some entanglement and debate, even though the experts in the expert group were extremely reluctant, the pragmatic people gradually gained the upper hand.
Just at this moment.
Mao Taichang, the leader of the expert group who had been somewhat taciturn recently, suddenly spoke up: "We can't return the small satellite."
Huh~
Everyone's surprised eyes were focused on him. Now everyone was almost in agreement, so why did Professor Mao say this?
Mao Taichang said, "If I were given the two options of a small satellite and technical cooperation with Li Wei, I would choose both."
Want them all?
Everyone opened their eyes wide. The tone and domineering manner were like the words of a big boss.
But then he couldn't help but roll his eyes. With Levi's personality of only taking advantage and not being harmed, is it possible for him to have it all? Is it realistic?
It’s better not to talk in your sleep in broad daylight.
But then I heard Mao Taichang analyze:
"I'm sure everyone is well aware of the value of small satellites. It's no surprise that they're considered artifacts of a thousand years from now. Even if we study them for another 100 years, we'll only be able to grasp the basics of their industrial design and technological principles."
"But this doesn't mean we can abandon small satellites and devalue their value at this stage. They are still a huge treasure trove!"
"This is also a long-term research project! Even if we don't benefit now and can only peel back a thin layer of the veil, it doesn't mean that future scientists won't benefit and uncover deeper principles."
"As long as we understand and study it thoroughly, the value it brings will far exceed our imagination."
"So we cannot give up on this small satellite that represents our future."
"Cooperation with Levi represents our present and our current interests. We must also pursue these interests. Furthermore, we must avoid Levi selling his 'artificial intelligence' technology to any country for money, as he did with it. This is unacceptable! It would be best if we were the sole partner, digesting all the technologies Levi has, thereby increasing our national strength and achieving a great rejuvenation."
