November 9, Los Angeles Long Beach Pier.

Countless enthusiasts, media, and simple spectators gathered on the dock, looking forward to watching the giant planes parked in the bay.

There were also more people waiting in front of the radio and listening to the reports of reporters on the plane.

Today is the day when the world's largest seaplane, H-4 Hercules, was designed and manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Company.

Evan is also a member of the spectator.

Looking at the huge plane with eight engines on the sea and emitting metallic light, Evan couldn't help but exclaim: "Howard is so awesome!"

"I guess Howard can only build this plane in this world..."

Carl, who accompanied him to watch the fun, couldn't help but say, "This must be under the industrial system of the United States."

"Of course," Evan said.

"In today's world, only the United States has this industrial foundation and scientific research talents. Without them, Howard's idea would not be realized."

A sea breeze blew, and Evan subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, the plane is moving!"

Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

Carl said: "It seems that the test flight is about to begin..."

"Evan, do you think it can fly into the sky successfully?"

Evan stared at the "spiano goose" on the sea without turning his eyes and replied firmly: "Is the answer necessary to say!"

"Howard is not a fool. Now he is not only on the plane, but also on the reporters. He is very concerned about the crowd. Without full confidence, he will not take risks."

"If the plane didn't go into the sky, the next day, the Hughes Aircraft Company's stock will become a pile of waste paper, and he will be trampled by all parties."

Carl nodded in agreement.

The airplane's blades are rotating faster and faster, and the fuselage is moving faster and faster, leaving a white wave on the sea surface.

Not long after, with the attention of thousands of people by the sea and countless listeners in front of the radio, the huge fuselage of the "Spruce Goose" left the water surface and soared into the sky.

People who witnessed all this at the pier couldn't help but cheer.

The applause and celebration lasted for more than a minute, and Evan's palms were red.

After his excitement calmed down, Evan photographed Carl, who was infected by the emotions on the scene, and said, "Let's go."

As he said, Evan left the well-visited position, squeezed into the crowd, and walked out.

Carl hurriedly followed and asked, "Don't you finish watching? The plane has not landed safely..."

Evan said: "No, it's enough to read the beginning..."

"As for the end, I already know it."

That night, Evan and Audrey attended the celebration dinner held by Howard.

At the end of the dinner, Evan felt a little depressed.

Audrey, who was quick-thought, naturally discovered Evan's abnormality. On the way back to her residence, she asked with concern: "Evan, what's wrong?"

Evan looked at Audrey, smiled reluctantly, reached out to hold her white little hand, comforted her, "It's okay, I just feel something..."

Audrey asked, “What’s the reason?”

After a moment of silence, Evan said, "Howard's illness seems to be worse..."

Audrey understood that she didn't care where Evan came from. She only knew that Howard was someone Evan admired very much, and comforted him, "Evan, God will bless him."

Evan nodded on the surface, but had other ideas in his mind.

As long as Howard Hughes can't defeat himself, the ending is destined.

...

November 14, Ingwood, Applied Physics Systems Company, R&D Department.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the R&D department was brightly lit, led by Wells, and members of the entire department were still working overtime.

Applied Physical Systems companies are not sweatshops and need to squeeze employees crazy. The reason why they don’t get off work at this point today is because Evan is also here today.

Today, Evan came to check the design of the first version of the TV project and check the progress of other projects. He arrived at the company at 4 pm and saw the "answer" handed over by the R&D department, and was furious and criticized the project team from top to bottom.

"Do you know what I feel now?"

"I think I see a piece of the thing you wanted to give to the toilet the first time you gave birth to the night and morning. It's stinking."

"What are the two requirements I made? One is cheap and the other is quality."

"And you see, what are you designing? Does it meet my requirements?"

"What I asked for is cheap, which means lowering the price. What you designed, I can only describe it in one word after thinking about it - rags."

"Hmm? It seems that some people are not convinced! OK! Come on, I'll point it out one by one..."

"First of all, the shell and appearance. The shell material is made of mahogany, so there is no problem. The problem is in this design. You don't even have a hole in it. Do you want the camera tube to heat up to explode?"

"There is this circuit again..."

Evan spent several hours picking out the problems in the design plan one by one, and criticizing the R&D engineers of the TV project team one by one like defeated soldiers, with their heads hanging down.

The R&D personnel who spent a lot of money to poach these companies realized why Evan, a young man with no hair, came to ask them for it.

Because he has this strength.

After the crackdown, Evan spent some time talking to the project team about how to design the product to meet his requirements.

After this demonstration, Evan successfully established his own power in the R&D department.

At around eight o'clock, Evan finished listening to the report of the microwave project team.

Unlike the strictness of the TV project team, Evan's attitude towards the microwave project team is much gentler.

"Mr. Spencer, I don't think there is any problem with your design ideas."

Percy Spencer, the head of the microwave project team, was really relieved when he heard this. Evan's performance just now made him understand that he was not old, but he was undoubtedly an electrical expert.

"Thank you, Mr. Warren."

"No need to thank you, Mr. Spencer..." Evan said with a smile: "The work is progressing so fast, I should thank you."

"And, I should also say sorry for letting everyone work overtime to this point today."

"It's getting late, let's stop here today."

As the big boss, Evan was the first to leave.

After Evan left, the R&D department, especially the members of the TV project team, did not rush to leave.

Everyone gathered in the office to exchange experiences taught by Evan.

Someone sighed: "Mr. Warren is really...you shouldn't behave like a person. It's just this requirement... it's too harsh..."

Lee Bailey, the head of the TV project team, who jumped from General Electric, said: "So what if it's harsh..."

“Only high requirements can we make good products.”
