The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

As soon as Baip left, the ministers immediately became active and tried to show their courtesy to Minister Tim, while also trying to find a way out for their previous silence.

In fact, everyone understood that in the situation just now, if no one came forward to persuade Baipu, the situation would only get further out of control.

"It's nothing. This is what I should do. If you are all right, you should go back and rest early. There is no need to stay here."

Minister Tim waved his hand, not caring about the flattery of the crowd. He was too lazy to deal with them at the moment.

He knew very well that these people's words on the surface were often very different from their inner thoughts. They were all egoists and unwilling to take responsibility. Who could climb to this position without any effort?

He secretly thought that if he got into trouble one day, these people would probably be the first to take advantage of him. After all, there were so many people eyeing his position.

Now that he is old and will retire in the near future, he has noticed that many people always like to show off in front of him. Unfortunately, this is what he hates the most.

The ministers did not care about Minister Tim's cold attitude. In their opinion, even if Minister Tim was cold, he was still easier to get along with than that crazy guy Baip.

Although both of them are not easy to deal with, Minister Tim can at least communicate with him. But Baip is like a time bomb. No one knows what words will anger him and lead to crazy revenge.

In the computer room, the people from the two departments were still arguing. They didn't even notice that Baipu and the others had left. The argument became more and more intense, and the smell of gunpowder was full, and it seemed that a war was about to break out.

“Pah pah pah——!!!”

Suddenly, a round of applause broke the quarrel between the two sides. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Minister Tim standing there.

The technical staff and the experts from the aerospace department looked at each other, and there was embarrassment in their eyes. They were so engrossed in the argument that they forgot that the top leader was waiting outside.

"Minister Tim, we..."

"Mr. Minister, just now..."

Both of them spoke at the same time, but stopped at the same time. Because they knew that saying more would only be an excuse. Their performance just now was really too substandard.

The time should have been used to discuss the problem, but it was all wasted on arguing, and they made a fool of themselves in front of all the leaders.

Especially when they thought about Bai Pu still being out there, they felt extremely regretful. Being fired now was a small matter, but they were afraid that they would have a hard time gaining a foothold in the industry in the future.

"That's enough! You should know what you did just now. Lord Baip is very disappointed in you. All the leaders have witnessed you quarreling like children."

"Is this the time to argue? Is this the time to shirk responsibility? Have you forgotten what your duties are?"

"The headquarters approves so much budget for you every year, not for you to engage in internal struggles. No matter who is in charge of which area, I just want results now."

"You will be given three days to come up with a solution that satisfies us. The Ministry of Aerospace and the Ministry of Technology will submit it jointly."

"If you fail to complete this mission, everyone will be held equally responsible. At that time, it won't matter who is right or wrong, only the results will matter."

"That's all I have to say. As for what to do next, it's up to you. If you want to continue arguing, I won't stop you. But you must submit a plan in three days!"

After saying this, Minister Tim turned around and left without even looking at the embarrassed faces of the people from the Technology Department and the Aerospace Department, without giving them any chance to explain or bargain.

Before the crowd could even react, they were completely criticized and humiliated...

After Minister Tim left, both sides realized that they were now in the same boat, and they would prosper together and suffer together!
After Minister Tim left, the atmosphere in the computer room became extremely awkward. Both the Technical Department and the Aerospace Department understood that they had to work together to deal with the problem.

However, the two parties who had been arguing fiercely just now found it difficult to make peace immediately. It was already good enough if they could stop arguing.

At this time, whoever spoke first seemed to be admitting his fault and being inferior. The personnel of the two departments each occupied one side, and there seemed to be an uncrossable galaxy in between, with a clear boundary.

The computer room is huge, enough to accommodate many large equipment, with a total area of ​​thousands of square meters. The two parties guarded their own side, located at the two ends of the diagonal line, and even if they talked loudly, the other party could hardly hear them clearly.

The technical staff gathered around the minister, their faces full of fatigue and a bit of unspeakable anxiety. After all, satellite technology was not directly related to their research field, and they felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

"Minister, are we going to split up? The people in the Space Department clearly don't care about cooperation, but how are we going to come up with a plan?"

"Yeah, we can't just beg them to cooperate. Their attitude is so arrogant, if we take the initiative to ask, they might be even more proud."

"Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Minister Tim has already said that if a satisfactory solution cannot be provided, both departments will be held responsible. The experts in the Ministry of Space should not be so proud now."

"That's right. They just arrived and are not familiar with the equipment in the computer room. Three days is definitely not enough for them to rely on themselves."

"In that case, there's no need for us to ask them proactively. We can just wait for them to ask us."

The technical department staff were all young, and the director was also very young. They inexplicably did not want to bow to those old scholars at this moment.

After some discussion, they decided to stay where they were and not cross the center line to ask the Ministry of Aerospace. If they had to ask, it would be the other party who couldn't help it first.

On the other hand, the situation of the Ministry of Aerospace was similar. The two sides had similar ideas to some extent, and they were quite in tacit agreement on this point.

"The computer room is too big, and we haven't used some of the equipment yet. The guys in the technical department didn't even bother to come over and explain it."

"What can those young people do? Can they handle research related to satellite technology?"

"Young people are not humble at all. They are quite arrogant in front of us. Don't worry, it won't be long before they come to ask for help."

"They won't be able to come up with anything useful. Let's see what they are discussing in that corner. Let's do our own research first."

Several senior scholars complained about the attitude of the technical staff. They had thought about cooperation at the beginning, after all, it is better for both parties to work together than to act alone.

Both parties have their own expertise and information, and sharing can achieve the greatest benefits. Unfortunately, the attitude of the technical department was too bad, and the experts from the aerospace department did not want to cooperate with them. In their view, the technical department could only provide some information, tell them the specific situation of the equipment in the computer room, and save them some time. This is not difficult in nature.

It's great that they are willing to bring these people to play together, instead of having to please their moods. And then they have to share the credit equally, which is too unfair.

The experts from the Ministry of Aerospace got down to work as soon as they said it would. They first had to understand all the equipment available. Some of the equipment was the latest model, and they were not very familiar with it as they had been in a remote research institute for many years.

After the first step, we need to organize the existing data, analyze the reasons for the disappearance of the satellites, and then prescribe the right remedy. It would be best if we can find the whereabouts of those satellites.

Until now, they still find it hard to accept that hundreds of satellites disappeared without a trace. This is a huge project!

After a few hours, the experts were a little exhausted. They were too old to work for long periods of time. It took them a long time just to get familiar with the equipment, and their eyes were tired.

However, they barely familiarized themselves with all the parameters, but this was far from enough. They had to have a certain understanding of these devices, otherwise they would not know which ones to use when they used them.

It could be said that this was their first time here. The computer room was newly built and everything inside was so unfamiliar that they couldn't tell the directions at all.

For the technical staff, the computer room may be very comfortable and familiar, but for the experts who have just arrived, they are at a loss.

"We can't go on like this. It's such a waste of time. It would be great if someone could just stand by and tell us where we are and where we can find what we need."

"This is the technical department's territory, but they don't seem to have any intention of coming over. Should we take the initiative to invite them over?"

"This is simply outrageous. If the mission is not completed, both our departments will be held responsible. Are they giving up completely now?"

"It doesn't make sense for a senior to ask a junior to come. I don't believe they can hide forever. Today is only the first day. Maybe they think they have plenty of time and don't feel nervous at all."

"Forget it, let's take a break and continue to familiarize ourselves with the equipment. We should be able to use it tomorrow. We won't have to ask them for help then. We can just complain to the technical department afterwards. They didn't contribute anything, so they can't expect to get any benefits!"

The experts from the Ministry of Aerospace were so angry that they could not bear it. Although it took a lot of time and effort to familiarize themselves with the equipment, they still couldn't bring themselves to go to the Technical Department to cooperate.

Face seems to be more important than anything else. They would rather hold on, take a break and then continue to work.

The technical department staff were not much better. Although they were familiar with the equipment, they didn't know where to start.

After the network signal disappeared, they have been trying to find out the reason and found that the satellite was missing, but deeper investigation has been impossible.

The reason is simple. Most of their work depends on network signals. Without signals, many tasks cannot be carried out.

Originally, these devices were supposed to be used to detect various problems, but now the devices themselves have problems, or more precisely, they are no longer usable. They are like craftsmen without tools, and can only stare blankly, helpless.

However, seeing that the experts of the Ministry of Space have been working hard, they can't be too depressed. Even if they have no idea, they have to pretend to work.

Some were holding notebooks to record their ideas, some were typing away on their keyboards, and some were wandering around the computer room, but overall they were aimless and without direction.

To put it more accurately, it was just wasting time. If the experts from the Ministry of Space could come up with a solution first, then they might not have to worry anymore.

But there didn't seem to be much progress over there, and as time passed, they felt anxious. Especially when they didn't know how to work hard, they couldn't hide their guilty feeling.

"Minister, this won't work. Why don't we take the initiative to ask the experts for their opinions? It's not shameful for a junior to take the initiative to talk to a senior."

"They don't seem to have any intention of coming over. Given their personalities, I'm afraid they won't come over until they figure it out. How could decades of stubbornness and prejudice suddenly change?"

"We can't delay any longer. I don't know how angry Minister Tim and President Baip will be. The whole department being fired might be a small matter, but I'm afraid we will all suffer..."

The members of the technical department started to panic as they chatted. They knew President Baip's personality too well. If they couldn't submit a satisfactory solution by then, both departments would be in trouble!

They couldn't help wondering if it was a stupid, wrong decision to remain in this state. Face was not important, but the failure to come up with a plan was the most fatal.

The director of the technical department held his chin with his hand, scribbled on the paper, and crossed out many ideas. He was very conflicted now, on the one hand he was anxious about the progress of the task, and on the other hand he really didn't want to ask his old rival for help.

"How about this, let's wait and see. If it's still the same tomorrow, we'll go over and ask for cooperation!"

The minister gritted his teeth and decided that this was his bottom line. If there was no progress tomorrow, they would have to make changes.

"well--!!!"

The staff sighed. In fact, they understood the minister's idea. After all, the Aerospace Department was too annoying. The thought of losing to them would make them feel unhappy for the whole year.

Of course, if they fail to submit a plan, they might not even have next year!

In this way, both sides have their own insistence, but they are doing some useless work. Obviously, they can directly carry out research by cooperating with each other, but both sides are too embarrassed to take the first step.

The first day passed quickly. Both departments worked until midnight. In the second half, they slept on the floor in the computer room, "competing" with each other.

In fact, these are all unnecessary tasks in the early stage, especially for the members of the technical department, most of them are just pretending to do things. There is not even a clear direction and steps, but they are exhausted.

On the one hand, they had to secretly observe the progress of the experts from the Ministry of Aerospace, and on the other hand, they had to keep working hard for fear of being exposed.

Therefore, their mental state has been extremely tense, and they can't relax at all. Even the strongest body can't withstand such consumption, and everyone's state seems to be depressed.

At dawn the next day, people from the two departments struggled out of bed, washed up hastily, and sat around the same dining table.

Their hair was messy like a bird's nest, their eyes were bloodshot, and they had deep dark circles under their eyes, as if they had been punched hard. They sat in the chairs blankly, like wandering souls.

They didn't sleep well last night, their minds were full of anxiety about not being able to complete the mission. Both sides acted independently, information was not shared, and everything had to be figured out from scratch. How could three days be enough! (End of this chapter)
