"Commander Hong, while from a short-term perspective, the Chinese military might not need to care about the small amount of money saved by rocket recycling projects, from a long-term perspective, it is very necessary."
Chen Feng replied with a serious expression.
"From a long-term perspective?"
Commander Hong asked with curiosity.
"Yes, from a long-term perspective. Whether it's an individual or a nation, to maintain stable development, one must have a long-term vision. As the Chinese have an old saying: 'He who does not plan for the future will find trouble at his door.' It's the same for the Chinese military. In today's complex world, to possess long-term deterrence globally, one must have a long-term vision and trump cards. In terms of nuclear bombs, fighter jets, drones, and missiles, the Chinese military has obvious advantages and strong deterrence. However, it's far from enough, because too many countries are coveting China. Our Chinese military must remain vigilant and constantly seek development. Especially in aerial tactics, we must have a mindset of preparedness for danger in times of peace. Not long ago, the United States announced it would launch twenty thousand satellites in outer space. How will such a massive satellite plan be accomplished? It must rely on rocket recycling projects; otherwise, it's simply impossible to achieve. Furthermore, the United States also plans to mine the moon and Mars and bring resources back to Earth. How will this be achieved? It also requires the utilization of rocket recycling technology. Only then can bringing resources back to Earth from the moon and Mars become possible. If the Chinese military doesn't catch up to the United States in this area, it will soon be several streets behind in space tactics."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
Commander Hong was once again impressed.
Chen Feng truly lived up to his reputation as a remarkable young man, his depth of thought surpassing even that of the Chinese military's think tank.
"Chen Feng, I won't say much else, but I will say this: it is a great fortune for the Chinese military to have you, Chen Feng."
Commander Hong said excitedly.
"Alright, Commander Hong, since we've clarified things so thoroughly, I'll be returning to Sanshui Province. Lastly, I sincerely thank you for helping me eliminate Sun Kai and his father, those scumbags who profited from national disaster."
Chen Feng said with sincerity.
"Please don't mention it. The Sun family are degenerates who emerged from the Chinese military. Eliminating them is something the Chinese military should do."
Commander Hong replied humbly.
Chen Feng didn't say anything more and directly returned to the provincial capital of Sanshui Province.
As the saying goes, it was a race against time for rocket recycling technology.
The United States was already at the third generation of rocket recycling technology, while China was just starting. Therefore, speed was essential.
Before returning to the provincial capital, Chen Feng first went back to Mingshan City to gather Qin Yan, Cheng Lu, and Li Hongling for a brief meeting.
The agenda of the meeting was that he might be busy with the rocket recycling project in the provincial capital during this period, and the economic development of Mingshan City would require the diligent management of the three women: Qin Yan, Cheng Lu, and Li Hongling.
Mingshan City's economic development had been rapid recently. Such a good opportunity must not be missed; it had to be firmly grasped.
When the three women heard that Chen Feng intended to build the rocket recycling project in the provincial capital, they immediately voiced their opposition.
Their reasoning was that the provincial capital already had numerous high-tech industries and did not particularly need another rocket recycling project.
Mingshan City, on the other hand, was at a crucial stage of development. If it developed well, it could consider applying to become a prefecture-level city.
At such a critical juncture, it urgently needed a massive technological project like rocket recycling.
To give up such a hard-won opportunity was, in their opinion, utterly nonsensical.
"You are thinking too simplistically."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"This matter is not complicated at all. Whoever needs the rocket recycling project more should host the project,"
The three women said in unison.
"However, have you considered whether the rocket recycling project will truly succeed if it is located in Mingshan City?"
Chen Feng asked calmly.
"Of course, it can succeed. Mingshan City is now a well-known technology city in China, with a chip industry, new energy industry, and cold fusion-related industries... These excellent technologies can all develop well in Mingshan City. We believe that the rocket recycling project can also develop very well in Mingshan City."
The three women said with excitement.
"Actually, I agree with your statement. The rocket recycling project can indeed be developed in Mingshan City. After all, Mingshan City has already accumulated a large number of scientific and technical talents to date. But the problem is, forcing the rocket recycling project to stay in Mingshan City can only lead to its勉强 development. Let me put it this way: it's the same everywhere in China; using fiscal funds to develop projects means there's no reason why they wouldn't develop. However, the cost is the greatest. We might even have to subsidize it, thus losing the original intention of developing the rocket recycling project. Why do we want to develop rocket recycling projects? Isn't it to reduce the cost of launching satellites?"
Chen Feng asked earnestly.
"Chen Feng, you don't have to worry so much. To be honest, China is not short of that little bit of money. Let's use the rocket recycling project to make Mingshan City a fortune. As for whether the satellite launch costs are reduced or not, it's not a big problem. After all, the Chinese fiscal budget will ultimately provide the backing."
The three women persuaded Chen Feng.
"You three have been following me for quite some time. Do you think I am the type of person who would damage national interests and enrich myself?"
Chen Feng asked calmly.
"Then we can only watch as the rocket recycling project is located in the provincial capital?"
The three women said with regret.
"Yes, we can only watch as the rocket recycling project is located in the provincial capital. I feel this is quite good. The provincial capital of Sanshui Province is a renowned technology city in China, with world-class universities and the Huaxia University of Science and Technology. Its technology industry chain is also very famous in China. Locating the rocket recycling project in the provincial capital will greatly benefit the maturation of rocket recycling technology. If China's rocket recycling projects are improved, it will play a very important role in surpassing the United States in Chinese military satellites. Therefore, although Mingshan City loses this project, China gains!"
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Brother Feng, actually, Mingshan City is not completely unable to profit."
Li Hongling said meaningfully.
"Xiao Ling, do you have a good idea to let Mingshan City profit from the rocket recycling project?"
Chen Feng asked with interest.
When it came to business acumen, Qin Yan and Cheng Lu were truly no match for Li Hongling.
"Brother Feng, this is what I'm thinking. We can do it like we did with the cold fusion project. Mingshan City might not be able to handle the entire project, but it can handle a small part of it. I've carefully researched Mingshan City's technological industry environment, and it's suitable for vigorously developing a small part of the rocket recycling project: the engine regulating valves."
Li Hongling explained word by word.
Upon hearing Li Hongling's explanation, Chen Feng was impressed by her business acumen.
To be honest, he hadn't even considered this point.
"Xiao Ling, the valve industry is almost a blank slate in Mingshan City. How can we produce the high-tech regulating valves required for the rocket recycling project?"
Chen Feng deliberately asked Li Hongling.
