"You can really take care of me!"

Luo Xiangfei sat behind the desk, looked at Feng Xiaochen, and said in a slightly helpless tone.

Feng Xiaochen's proposal to establish a national industrial laboratory was reported to the central leaders by Meng Fanze. The central leaders attached great importance to this and specially invited more than a dozen elderly people from the scientific and industrial circles to discuss the feasibility of this idea. Surprisingly, all these elderly people gave high evaluations of this idea, believing that it is very necessary to arrange some people to specialize in future-oriented technical research under the current conditions.

In recent years, as the country's doors are opened, domestic scientists and entrepreneurs have gone out and come into contact with advanced foreign technologies. In this process, they have a common feeling, that is, China has been thrown out by the world's advanced trends, and there are too many places that require tutoring, and some gaps are even far away to make up for it.

In this case, the strategy chosen by the country is to learn from abroad firmly, make up for the shortcomings, and shorten the gap with abroad as much as possible. The catch-up targets determined by many industries are set in 30 years, that is, to reach the level of being on par with foreign countries around 2010, or at least to match them, so as not to have no ability to compete at all like now.

Don’t think that catching up with the advanced foreign level in 30 years is an overly negative goal. In fact, this goal is even very radical in the eyes of some people. The reason is very simple. When you make progress, your goal of catching up is also improving. You are now 20 years away from others and are ready to catch up with the other party in 30 years, which means that your 30 years need to complete the 50-year path of others, which is not an easy task.

The plan was decided like this, but from central leaders to senior officials of ministries and commissions, from scientists to engineers, there was a sense of injustice in their hearts. They hope that one day China will become the country that leads the trend. To do this, we cannot just follow others step by step, but instead send a surprise weapon to intersperse into areas that others have not yet reached and seize some opportunities.

Feng Xiaochen's proposal of "the wall-faced man" coincided with everyone's ideas, so it was naturally widely agreed.

In fact, Feng Xiaochen proposed this plan with reference to the blueprint. He knew that in real history, the United States will propose the Star Wars plan in the next year, and Japan will propose the "revitalization policy for science and technology in the next decade". Western Europe launched the Eureka plan, which consists of which are all invested by the government, concentrate a large amount of manpower and material resources, develop high technology, and win future international competition.

In response to this situation, in March 1986, China determined the "National High-Tech Research and Development Plan", which is the famous 863 Plan. With the support of this plan, China has achieved fruitful results in biology, aerospace, information, laser, automation, energy, new materials, marine technology, etc., laying the foundation for participating in global industrial competition in the 21st century.

The National Industrial Laboratory Program proposed by Feng Xiaochen is different from the later 863 plan, and its intention is even more profound. What he proposed is to organize a group of scientists to put aside short-term scientific research plans and focus on cutting-edge technologies 20 or even 50 years later. In this process, these scientists can do research without any results, and do not have to be responsible to anyone. They are completely autonomous and voluntarily. Only in this way can they concentrate on exploring the mysteries hidden behind thick walls, and thus become a "wall-facer".

Although the statement of facing the wall seemed a bit abrupt, it was quickly accepted by the decision-making level. Those who could become central leaders were all extremely wise. They realized the mystery of the word "face the wall" and also used the word "face the wall" at some formal meetings.

The plan to establish a national industrial laboratory was approved by the central government. Because Meng Fanze reported that this idea came from the Reconstruction Office, the central leaders named it and handed over the preparations to the Reconstruction Office. To be honest, it is natural for the Reconstruction Office to undertake this work, because the original intention of establishing the National Industrial Laboratory was to conduct pre-research on major equipment in the future.

When the news reached Luo Xiangfei, Luo Xiangfei was stunned. After inquiring carefully, he realized that it was Feng Xiaochen's idea, so he called Feng Xiaochen over and asked him for his crime.

"Director Luo, you really can't blame me for this matter!" Feng Xiaochen called out to Chitianqu, "This is Minister Meng's problem for me. I was helpless and gave him an idea. But who knows that the end of this matter will come to us to reinstall it?"

"You can't control your mouth?" Luo Xiangfei asked, "What does the matter of the P15 big plane have to do with our reinstallation? You directly replied to Minister Meng and said you have no choice, wouldn't it be enough? So many people can't think of a solution, but you Feng Xiaochen can do it?"

Feng Xiaochen heard from Luo Xiangfei's tone that he was not really angry, so he said with a smile: "Director Luo, think about it, P15 has been in operation for more than ten years. Although it is a bit ahead of schedule and the country cannot support it, the team was disbanded like this, the information was destroyed, and the experience could not be retained. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"Oh, we have done a lot of such things over the years." Luo Xiangfei sighed. He is an industry expert, so how could he not know about it?

In the past, China was blocked by Western countries and many new technologies could not be obtained. Seeing that others had created some high-end and sophisticated things, the country also wanted to do it, so they formed a team and invested some funds to do it. Because the technology accumulation was not enough and the funds were too short, some projects stopped halfway. Later, because new projects came out, the original team was transferred to do new projects, and as a result, all the accumulation of the old projects was wasted.

People in the circle understand these things. Feng Xiaochen proposed to set up a national industrial laboratory to accommodate these advanced projects, and Luo Xiangfei actually agreed from the bottom of his heart. As for the preparations for the industrial laboratory that were handed over to the reinstallation office, Luo Xiangfei looked very unhappy on his face, but actually felt happy. As a leader, who is not willing to take care of more things, and more things means greater importance. Although Luo Xiangfei is not an official fan, he still likes to have greater power.

"Director Luo, has the matter of the Industrial Laboratory been confirmed?" Feng Xiaochen asked tentatively. He really didn't know the details of such high-level decisions.

Luo Xiangfei said: "The general direction has been determined. It is basically the idea you proposed. By the way, it is the idea of ​​the wall-faced person. The central leaders specifically said that the word wall-faced person is very vivid, and they also said that the comrade who proposed this word is a talent."

"Uh, I actually heard people say it..." Feng Xiaochen blushed. He had no psychological pressure at all by plagiarizing the technical patent of Sanli Steel Manufacturing Institute, but it was not appropriate to plagiarize Liu's creativity. But he really couldn't explain this kind of thing to Luo Xiangfei.

Fortunately, Luo Xiangfei did not go into this matter. The word "Face the wall" was quite popular back then, mainly from the sentence "Face the wall for ten years and break the wall" in Zhou Gong's poem. Luo Xiangfei believed that Feng Xiaochen must have also been inspired by this.

"The specific details, including management agencies, funding sources, investments, project selection, etc., need to be further refined. The Science and Technology Commission, military industry and other departments will put forward opinions. After the official documents are released, we will have to hang another sign at the door of the reinstallation office and write it on the preparation team of the National Industrial Laboratory. How about it? Are you interested in working in the preparation team?" Luo Xiangfei finally put away the fierce look he had just pretended and asked Feng Xiaochen with a smile.

Feng Xiaochen was quite hesitant about this matter. On the one hand, he thought this matter was quite interesting, and on the other hand, he thought that equipment coordination was his strength, so he replied vaguely: "I obey the organization's arrangements."

After he said this, Luo Xiangfei understood what he meant, so he said with a smile: "So, you don't plan to do these mother-in-law's affairs anymore. Actually, I think it's not appropriate to let you go. Director Wu is more suitable to host this work. He was originally the director of the Strategy Department. During this period, he proposed many strategic ideas, which coincided with the purpose of the industrial laboratory. It should be more familiar to him to host this work."

Director Wu who Luo Xiangfei mentioned was Wu Shican. In the past six months, he has successfully transformed from a scientist to a strategic official. It is indeed more suitable to let him manage a future-oriented national industrial laboratory.

"As for you, don't be idle. You will have trouble when you are idle. It's better to find something to do as soon as possible." Luo Xiangfei said half jokingly and half seriously. His words were a bit unfair to Feng Xiaochen. Some time ago, Feng Xiaochen was busy negotiating with foreign businessmen such as Sanli and Clinz, and then worked with Qin Chong and Pu Chong's personnel to formulate strategies to introduce foreign rolling mill technology, but he was not idle.

"The matters on the steel rolling equipment are almost busy, right?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "It's almost done. Qin Chong's General Engineer Xu and Cui will fly to Japan at the beginning of next month to participate in the design work of a rolling mill production line in Sanli Steel. It is mainly to observe their design process on site. Pu Chong has acquired Clinz's technology, so it may take a little slower and will almost start at the end of next month. Although we have done rolling mills in the past, we have not established design specifications. This time, General Engineer Xu and others will comprehensively learn Sanli's design specifications and make our own design work go on track."

"This is very important." Luo Xiangfei nodded, "Industry, we cannot always use the guerrilla thinking style, and we have to gradually turn into regular troops."

Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Luo is right. This time, we must not only learn Sanli's design specifications, but also learn their industry standards and formulate heavy machinery industry standards that are suitable for us."

"Very good." Luo Xiangfei said, "You can prepare too, and let's set off with General Manager Xu and others."

"Where to go?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned.
