In a small conference room at the West Research Institute, Chen Nian sat with several core members of the Spark Working Group, and the topic they were discussing happened to collide with the strategy planned by the other side.
This is of course not an accident, but the most accurate judgment of the enemy based on rational speculation and intelligence analysis.
After all, you can believe that bears can climb trees, you can believe that Ge You can grow hair, you can believe that Brother Kun can play basketball, but you can never believe that Americans will have any goodwill towards China.
The two groups destined to become rivals would definitely fight each other until death. The appearance of peace was just to maintain basic decency.
"Where do you think they will start?"
The question was asked by Lu Chen from the Intelligence Department. After Project 22, he has become a full-time member of the Spark Distribution Working Group, responsible for intelligence, security and other work. He is one of the most critical members of the platform department of this working group. .
The target of his question was directly Chen Nian.
After hearing his question, Chen Nian thought for a moment and answered:
"I still say that we must be vigilant in terms of food. I have been saying this since October last year until now, but in fact, our preparations are still not sufficient."
"The other party has already obtained enough chips. When our gap reaches a critical point and we are forced to start purchasing emergency reserves in large quantities, it is time for them to take action."
“There’s only one way to deal with it: eat it no matter the cost.”
"Even if we die, we must eat it. Otherwise, what awaits us is the overall collapse of an industry."
"By then, our economic system will be severely impacted. Let alone building radars, we will be unable to cope with large-scale unemployment."
After saying these few words, everyone present fell into silence.
Of course, they didn't think Chen Nian was alarmist, but they were truly aware of the danger contained in this possible situation.
Once it does happen, the room left for us to maneuver will be infinitely close to zero.
The earlier you plan, the greater your chances of winning.
"I understand, I have reported this to my superiors before."
"The bad news is that we prepared too late. As soybeans are the main target of attack, a large number of chips have been sucked away by the opponent."
"However, the good news is that we do still have some money, especially foreign exchange reserves."
"The foreign trade equipment you designed before was really helpful. If necessary, we will allocate a sum of funds from Poly, Norinco and CSSC to help us achieve our strategic goals."
"For now, the money should be enough."
After hearing this, Chen Nian finally relaxed a little, loosened his tightly clenched fists, and put his arms naturally on the table.
There was nothing he could do, he was really scared.
Based on his experience in his previous life, in the following two decades, the local soybean industry was suppressed everywhere, and a series of rumors controlled by capital also continued to spread. The interests of the country and people have suffered huge losses.
If it were not for the smooth implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” and “Maritime Silk Road” plans, we would not be able to take back the pricing power of soybeans even in another thirty to fifty years.
Therefore, after confirming that the officials were not unprepared and that there was plan No. 2, Chen Nian finally felt relieved.
According to the urine of rabbits, if there is plan No. 2, there will be plan No. 3, and if there is plan No. 3, there will be plan No. 4. It is still difficult to defeat the rabbit without being caught off guard.
Thinking of this, he said:
"Now that the food issue has been taken care of, all we have to discuss now is the development of the semiconductor industry."
"Obviously, the opponent is as aware of the disadvantages of this J-22 as we are, and that is the extremely weak radar system."
"On this basis, all subsequent countermeasures they take should be based on radar and semiconductors."
"I personally think that they may try to attack the diffusion furnace, but the technical monopoly of this thing itself is not high. If it is really implemented, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"So, it's more likely that they will start with the key components that we don't plan to make ourselves - such as the various basic sensors in the diffusion furnace and the motors that drive the up and down boats."
Having said this, Chen Nian paused and frowned again.
"But even so, their ability to slow down our progress is extremely limited. To be honest, I really can't think of what they plan to do. What do you think?"
Everyone else in the conference room shook their heads at the same time, and everyone's views were actually similar to Chen Nian's.
The diffusion furnace is indeed a real difficulty for us, but its subtlety is that it is difficult for you to build it without technology, but once you have technology, it is difficult for others to prevent you from building it. .
This thing is a collection of contradictions.
Choosing it to start with is not really a conscious decision.
But if you don't choose it, what can you choose?
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.
Everyone is silently speculating on the opponent's intentions and actions, trying to plug the key loophole before them.
But no matter how they think about it, no one can figure out where the loophole is.
This is the most dangerous situation.
Just when everyone in the conference room was at a loss what to do, an idea suddenly flashed in Chen Nian's mind.
"What if they have no intention of restricting our radar research and development through diffusion furnaces?"
"wrong."
"What if they never thought about restricting our radar research and development? What if the news we had previously obtained about 'the other party is about to start from the semiconductor industry' was simply false news they deliberately passed on?"
Chen Nian's heart suddenly trembled, and he suddenly thought of a question that had always been ignored.
That is, when both sides have super stealth fighters, the winner is not the airborne radar at all, not even the early warning aircraft radar, nor the digital array radar that they are building!
In a confrontation between fourth-generation aircraft, the real winner is the anti-stealth radar.
And this thing is indeed a technology that was subject to strict import restrictions in the previous life and used all means to undermine our development!
After 10 years, our radar technology has developed rapidly, but low-frequency anti-stealth radar has always made slow progress. Not only has the acquisition of key technologies been blocked, but according to historical development, even in 2004, China purchased Czech Vera radar. The plan was also disrupted!
Many news reports downplayed this, saying, "After only a few years of being blocked, we broke through anti-stealth radar technology."
But in fact, these few years are a full 13 years!
Even 2013 is less, because when we actually deployed the anti-stealth radar system that can track the F-22, it was already around 2018...
So, this is their real intention.
They actually don't care about our development in the field of conventional radar, because the future trend of war must be full stealth, and the role that conventional radar can play is constantly decreasing.
Deliberately releasing the fan and showing an extremely concerned and angry attitude is, to a large extent, just a way for them to confuse the public.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian immediately said:
"They won't care about the diffuser!"
"The development of conventional radar poses no threat to them. The real target they want to attack is anti-stealth radar."
"To be specific, it should be passive detection radar and meter-wave radar."
"These two technologies are almost on two separate tracks from traditional radar. With our resources, it is difficult to exert force in two directions at the same time."
"They just want us to invest more resources in traditional radars, thus slowing down the counter-expansion of anti-stealth radars... This is very smart."
Having said this, Chen Nian sighed.
You are indeed very smart, but sorry, I cheated...
After listening to his story, everyone else in the conference room frowned.
"If the situation is really as you said, then this is a conspiracy."
"Our resources are indeed not enough to support the research and development of two types of radars at the same time. We can't give up on traditional radars now, right?"
"The radars we use now are already decades old..."
Looking at the solemn faces of everyone, Chen Nian suddenly laughed.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'll do it."
"You just promote the digital array radar project as normal. As for the anti-stealth radar... I will solve it."
