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

However, not everyone thought so. Many people subconsciously opposed this plan, especially the ministers who knew about the backup satellite situation. They wanted to raise their hands and feet to oppose it.

"This is ridiculous! Do you know what a backup satellite is? How much does it cost? Don't agree to it without knowing anything!"

"The cost of spare satellites is much higher than you think. Some of them are defective, but many of them are the latest research products and need further research. If they are launched directly, they will really be gone..."

"Some backup satellites are very special. If they are launched in this state, they may be scrapped after one use. If they are to be rebuilt, who knows how many years it will take!"

"Can anyone guarantee how many backup satellites we need to launch to completely restore the signal for the entire United States?"

The ministers who opposed it almost shouted themselves hoarse, especially the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Energy. They knew too well the value of spare satellites, and launching them directly in this situation would only result in a loss of everything!
The original loss was already big enough, and now we have to use even greater losses to stop the loss. What kind of best solution is this?
They even think that the scientists are too lazy to think, or simply can't come up with a good solution, so they propose to use backup satellites to fool people!

Of course, there is also some anger in this, and it is not intended to discredit scientists. It is just that I really cannot accept this plan, it is too outrageous.

Even children know that one should make up for what is lacking. They are not unaware that the reason why these complex problems are handed over to them and experts are specially invited is to seek better solutions.

To be fair, they really couldn't see the advantage of this solution. Although it directly solved the current problem, what about the future? Don't we need to consider the future situation?
This is a very irresponsible idea. The United States is not only about the present, the future is equally important.

The cost of launching backup satellites is too high, which greatly hinders future research.

"So what if the price is high? Isn't the price of the current situation high? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb, and that's the situation now."

"Why are you thinking so much? It's as if there are better options. Scientists haven't figured it out, so have you? It's ridiculous!"

"You guys don't understand the situation. Aren't the current losses big enough? We are losing immeasurable wealth every second!"

"Look at the world outside. Open your eyes and take a good look. It's a mess. The crime rate is probably at an all-time high! Look at what those people are doing?"

"The current situation is out of control. We don't have enough manpower. I'm afraid more than 80% of the hundreds of millions of people in the United States are rioting!"

"This is the problem we must solve first. All other problems must be put aside. How to solve it? If we don't have enough manpower, we must restore order as soon as possible. The fastest way to restore order, in addition to sending people to maintain it, is more importantly to restore the United States to normal and restore the signal!"

"Why are people so panicked? Because they feel uneasy and they don't trust the government. What we have to do now is to let them see that the headquarters is fully capable of solving the problem."

Ministers in favor of the bill calmly retorted that they were not the kind of people who only focused on costs and budgets, but were more concerned with actual results.

I really don’t know what the opposition is thinking. The priorities are so clear, why are they still only focusing on those minor issues?

Minister Tim has made it very clear that since he brought this plan back, it must have been after careful consideration.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that Minister Tim will not make decisions casually. Unlike Baip, he will not act on passion, but will rationally choose the most appropriate solution.

His age and experience are there. He has solved many problems for the United States since taking office. What is there to doubt?

They looked at the opposition ministers with disdain and contempt. At this moment, there was no distinction between Conservatives and Progressives, only supporters and opposition.

The opposition ministers were equally angry. They felt despised and thought the supporting ministers were ridiculous.

"You are such a short-sighted bunch. Are you only looking at the immediate benefits and not considering the future at all? You don't just live for today or the present!"

"As a leader, you should look at problems from multiple perspectives. Don't you think your thinking is too narrow?"

"At a time like this, we should look for a suitable solution instead of hastily choosing the most costly one. Then what's the point of our meeting? Wouldn't it be better to just activate the backup satellite?"

"I simply cannot discuss this with you any further. You are too stubborn. The situation is indeed serious, but it seems that it will take no time to activate the backup satellite..."

"You are essentially fearful and cowardly. It's only been a few days, and you're already eager to solve the problem. Your intention is not wrong, but can't you think of other ways?"

"Minister Tim also said that the possibility of a black hole swallowing a satellite is greater than other speculations, but this is not the final answer. I saw that the pictures did not directly capture the process of a black hole swallowing a satellite."

"In this case, the experts were very cautious in their choice of words. They never used the word definite from beginning to end. How come you guys made it sound like it was bound to be that result?"

The people holding the two opinions could not convince each other and they argued fiercely.

Some were so excited that they nearly broke the table, but even so they seemed not to feel any pain.

I have to say that people on both sides are a little crazy. They are only concerned with expressing their own ideas without thinking from the other side's perspective. They just keep blaming the other side for their mistakes and emphasizing their own correctness.

Minister Tim sighed in disappointment; this was not the effect he had wanted for the meeting discussion.

If things continue like this, it would be better not to hold this meeting.

His original intention was to bring this plan so that everyone could conduct a feasibility analysis and preferably provide more flexible answers, and then expand and extend on this basis.

However, he overestimated everyone a bit. These people were more concerned with their own interests and perspectives, and their ideas were rather one-sided, without considering how to improve the other party's shortcomings.

Baipu was not absent-minded at this time. He listened carefully to the arguments of both sides and was a little undecided for a moment.

To be honest, he was against it at first, for the simple reason that the cost of spare satellites was too high. If all of them were invested, it could be foreseen that the US operations in the next few years would almost be over.

The company already owed a lot of foreign debts, and had to advance several years of budget. This would not only prevent new projects from being launched, but also force old projects to be terminated. He naturally could not accept this situation. The quarrels in the conference room were endless and could not be calmed down at all. The supporters and opponents each had their own opinions, and the tense atmosphere seemed to be ready to explode at any time.

Anger and hostility were revealed in the eyes of many people. If they continued to quarrel like this, they would probably never be able to sit together and discuss important matters again.

You know, they represent the highest authority in the United States. If they can't even control internal disputes, then any decision in the future will be accompanied by endless quarrels.

Minister Tim received Baip's hint, slammed the report heavily on the table, and said calmly:

"Okay, stop arguing. If you continue arguing, everyone will lose face. Don't you think this is embarrassing?"

"To be honest, I am very disappointed with you. Why do you only look at the problem from one perspective? You are just nitpicking. Can't you offer some constructive suggestions?"

"At this point, are you still trying to prove how bad the headquarters is? Can anyone give me a different answer or suggest a solution?"

No one could ignore the disappointment in Minister Tim's tone. He really felt that it was a bit too much. So many people gathered together, but no one could give him the answer he wanted.

"Minister Tim is right. Your performance today was awful. It perfectly illustrates what stupidity means. If you continue like this, the United States will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."

"You really should reflect on yourselves. What behavior is most needed right now? Do you still need me to teach you? Can you give me some strength and stop focusing on the other person's shortcomings?"

……

Baipu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He made full use of his eloquence and criticized everyone fiercely. Almost everyone was scolded by him.

The ministers were so confused by the scolding that they sat in their seats without reacting. Weren't they discussing the plan? Why were they suddenly scolded like this?
However, they could not find any reason to refute the clear and sharp criticism of Ministers Baip and Tim. Indeed, to some extent, this is true!
Everyone fell into deep thought. If they continued to show dissatisfaction at this moment, they would simply be asking for trouble. No one would be so stupid as to do that.

In any case, even though they were not convinced by this sermon in their hearts, some of the resentful ministers immediately became obedient and pretended to be thinking.

“I think we can proceed in two steps. Experts from the Ministry of Space will go to the research institute to activate the backup satellite, and members of the technical department will stay at the headquarters to continue studying the satellite problem, trying to find the cause from as many aspects as possible, and then prove the final result.”

"To some extent, this is the most efficient solution. At this time, don't think about the budget issue anymore, because no matter what the result is, the loss is inevitable."

"This is my opinion, but it does not represent the final plan. What do you think?"

After a few minutes of silence, Minister Tim told the plan he had thought of along the way. In fact, he had been thinking about what to do next since he got the plan in the morning.

He did not have much expectation for today's meeting, and was not sure whether other ministers had any good ideas, so he did not slack off at all. On the surface, he was listening to other people's arguments, but in fact, he was thinking all the time.

After hearing the two sides arguing, Minister Tim suddenly had an idea: Why choose only one method? Obviously, they can do both at the same time.

The benefit of this is that even if one method doesn’t work, you don’t have to start all over again because there is always another way to proceed.

It is impossible to say that the two methods are completely unrelated. If the Ministry of Space's speculation about the disappearance of the satellite is wrong, the Technical Department can also follow up on the latest research developments in a timely manner.

The two sides exchange information and complement each other's work every day. This greatly improves efficiency and, in terms of probability, can reduce time consumption by nearly half.

For the United States now, what they have to do is race against time and end this "disaster" as soon as possible.

After listening to Minister Tim's speech, there was an uproar. The two parties who were completely opposed to each other suddenly realized how stupid they were. They did not think about this aspect, nor did they expand their thinking on more levels. They just directly supported or opposed it without any innovation in the final plan.

Did Minister Tim call everyone here specifically to listen to these superficial suggestions? He could have gone to Baip privately to finalize the plan, which would have saved more time and enabled the solution to be implemented as soon as possible.

However, judging from this meeting, the ministers' performance was indeed disappointing.

"Minister Tim's words really hit the nail on the head. We were thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning. We didn't see such an obvious problem and made a big mistake." ...

"That's right. Just compromise and move forward on both sides at the same time. If one side progresses faster and has better results, stop the other side. This way, you can also stop the loss in time."

"The United States really needs this kind of efficiency. The headquarters can no longer afford to waste time. This method is very good. It will not delay either side. Maybe we can both achieve good results."

"This method is really great. Not only can it solve the current problem, but it may also help us find out the real cause. If there is a mastermind behind this, we must make them pay the price!"

"Maybe we don't need to worry too much about the budget. Once we catch the mastermind, we can just recover the losses from them, right?"

The ministers immediately applauded Minister Tim's decision and expressed their support. At the same time, it also inspired a lot of new ideas and they were no longer in confrontation as before.

After breaking the fixed mindset, many ideas suddenly emerged in everyone’s mind. The previous lethargy was swept away and enthusiasm was high instead. This was a valuable discussion!

"Yeah, why are we considering the budget now? Isn't risk transfer what we are best at? Even if there is no mastermind behind this, we can still create one!"

"In fact, the other party only dares to do these small actions behind the scenes. How can they have the strength to confront the United States head-on? Isn't this just because they are guilty?"

"If that's the case, it's a good thing for us. After locking on to the target, we can directly use public opinion and force to put pressure on them. The experts from the Ministry of Aerospace and the Ministry of Technology will definitely be interested in this new technology..."

At this point, everyone's eyes lit up. If such a magical technology really existed, the United States must get it!

Just think about it, if we master this latest technology and quietly destroy the satellites of other countries, then only the satellites of the United States and the satellites of countries that are friendly with the United States will be left. (End of this chapter)
