"Vietnam maliciously attacked our unmanned surveying and mapping aircraft, interfered with normal marine scientific research work, and caused heavy losses. We hope that Vietnam can respond positively and handle it properly!"
Soon, reports about what happened on the sea spread quickly, and after seeing the reports, Chen Nian was simply shocked.
Can you still do this? !
If Vietnam's sending "fishermen" to openly harass and provoke people in the operating waters was a low-level prank before, then the military's current tactics are beyond recognition.
What is an unmanned surveying and mapping aircraft? What is normal marine scientific research work?
Aren’t you going to play the “legal principle” card with us?
Well, we won’t accept your card, but we can play our own cards based on your ideas!
No matter how there are territorial disputes, you guys can't be so overbearing that they won't even allow maritime scientific research projects, right?
How can there be such a truth in the world?
Even Americans can’t say that, right?
Our surveying and mapping drone was flying fine, but you insisted on knocking it down with a boat. Shouldn't you pay compensation?
As for the damage to your own ship, what does it have to do with us?
What? You mean fishermen? They fell into the water, we rescued them, and then gave them a job. Isn't that too much?
What kind of slave labor, what kind of monkey slave, how can such a thing happen?
That's just a joke made by some unqualified netizens on the Internet. You won't take it seriously, right?
Don't take it seriously, we still have to discuss things on a "legal" level.
Chen Nian looked at the report and looked through the discussions on various major forums on the Internet, especially the Tieba that had gradually emerged. He couldn't help but sigh. Tieba this year was indeed the most powerful.
The Tieba of later generations, which only makes jokes, has a bad mouth, and attacks everywhere, has lost most of its essence.
However, in this series of public opinions, he vaguely smelled something familiar.
Just like the previous report exposing the media offensive, the taste is very correct.
It was probably another good thing Li wanted to do.
This guy is really good at this.
In less than two weeks, the trend of public opinion on the Internet, which had hit rock bottom, was unexpectedly reversed.
And the most important thing is that this "twisting" is not just a "twisting victory."
Not to mention the heavy damage suffered by Western media, more importantly, a large number of netizens who had just come into contact with the Internet received an impressive education from this incident.
They began to realize that sometimes, no matter how trustworthy the information on the Internet seems, it cannot be completely believed.
The Internet, a newly emerged information medium, had its "authoritative deification effect" ruthlessly broken before it was even established.
Perhaps, for a long time to come, or even in the lives of these people, every time they want to follow the trend and make certain remarks, set the pace, and go with the flow, they will recall the lesson learned this time.
They can't help but wonder, is it themselves who set the pace, or is it someone else?
I think I am rational and superior, but is it possible that I am the fool?
With this idea in mind, their behavioral logic will also change to some extent.
I'm so envious.
Chen Nian sighed slightly.
There was no such good thing in my time.
The education of netizens actually did not officially begin until more than ten years later, and by that time, most opinions on the Internet had developed to the point where they were almost uncontrollable.
This forced the officials to adopt the most extreme strategy of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging themselves by eight hundred.
Although effective, it is obviously not the optimal choice.
Following this idea, Chen Nian's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.
In the final analysis, the crux of the problem still lies in education.
If the basic education level can catch up quickly, many problems will be solved.
It seems that when the military industry gradually matures in the future, I should gradually turn my energy to this major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
He closed the browser pages one by one, and finally refreshed the website of a foreign media. Just like this, a report popped up and jumped to his eyes.
"The F-35 fighter jet successfully made its first flight, becoming the world's first STOVL fourth-generation aircraft with mature technology."
? ? ?
A series of question marks popped up in Chen Nian's head.
Good guys, you guys are so fucking shameless.
According to your statement, our J-20B is an immature product?
He clicked on the report. The English page was not difficult for him to read, but as he looked at it, his brows furrowed.
This report actually rarely disclosed some performance parameter information of the fighter jet.
The most important one is that "the rear combat radius reaches 500 nautical miles under vertical take-off conditions."
WTF?
Do you know what you are talking about?
Take off vertically! Combat radius! 500! Still in the sea!
According to his memory, the first-generation F-35 still used the F119 engine, which is almost the same as the J-20B. Thank God if it can reach 200 kilometers. Why don't you just give me 500 for this thing?
Only a ghost can believe it!
You know, at this point in time, the United States has not yet developed a variable cycle engine!
This bullshit is wrong.
No one in the country would believe it, right?
He quickly returned to the military forum, and sure enough he saw that there was already a discussion about this matter on the top post.
At one glance, he felt relieved.
Everyone is indeed not a fool.
"The Yankees are really anxious this time. In order to regain some face, they dare to brag about their awesomeness."
"The fourth-generation STOVL aircraft has a combat radius of 500 kilometers. Why don't you say that what you built is a Star Destroyer?"
"It's really funny. Is NASA unprofessional or the media is unprofessional? How did such a false report come out?"
"People upstairs, don't say too harshly, what if they really do have one?"
"Pull it down. Now we are at the top level in the fields of aviation and military aerospace. Even our J-20B only dares to say 200 kilometers. How can they have the nerve to say 500?"
“Just to correct me again, it’s 500 nautical miles.”
"The biggest joke of the year was born. Do you think they will deploy F-35s to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier in advance after seeing the outside reaction?"
"If that really happens, our J-20B should also pass by. Don't tell me, I'm quite looking forward to it."
Chen Nian looked through all the posts, but couldn't find even one support.
Even the most crooked public opinion holds the view that "reports may be biased, but the performance of the new generation of fighters cannot be doubted."
Chen Nian was a little confused.
Doesn’t NASA realize how stupid this report is?
Or are they doing it on purpose?
Makes sense.
Perhaps this kind of manuscript was not originally written for us.
For us it was stupid, but for Vietnam it was just right.
Chen Nian shook his head and closed the computer.
He glanced at his watch. It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
Today was the day he made an appointment to meet Zhu Xuejun, so he couldn't delay it.
So, he simply packed up his things and turned around and went next door.
——
That was the reception room arranged for him by Chen Guo.
Chen Guo herself was already waiting in the room. The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Xuejun also arrived as promised.
Seeing Chen Nian, Zhu Xuejun had a surprised look on his face.
"Chen Nian? You are a little younger than I expected."
"You are really young and promising. I'm sorry, the tone I used when I talked to you was a bit off."
"But I talked to Professor Chen later. I am being narrow-minded. I would like to apologize to you first."
As she spoke, she extended her hand to Chen Nian with a sincere face.
Before Chen Nian could speak, she continued:
"You don't know that Guo Qi came to me right after I called you last time."
"It was so embarrassing at the time. He was embarrassed and so was I."
"What's embarrassing for him is that he doesn't know how to explain it to me. What's embarrassing for me is that I don't know how to explain it to you."
"Originally I wanted to make a phone call, but after discussing it with Professor Chen, I decided to tell him in person, which would be more sincere."
"So, let me say it again, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart."
Chen Nian quickly stood up and replied:
"It's okay, Mr. Zhu, it's not as serious as you think."
"I'm not that great. Compared to the big guys of your generation, I'm not good enough."
Chen Nian said this from the bottom of his heart. Although Zhu Xuejun's previous reactions caught him off guard, he really didn't take it seriously.
In his mind, what level of person is Zhu Xuejun?
No need to make it too complicated, just one sentence:
Counting two generations up from Zhu Xuejun's generation, he will reach Qian's old age.
If he was a little chicken in front of Mr. Qian, then he was just a big chicken in front of Zhu Xuejun.
This "status" has nothing to do with one's technical influence, nor can it even be seen purely in terms of contribution.
But because these people are truly dedicated to the country.
In extremely difficult circumstances, they faced the difficulties without hesitation.
Although tens of thousands of people have gone to me, even if they never come back, I have no complaints.
Such a character deserves his own respect.
Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Zhu Xuejun finally relaxed.
She was really afraid that her unintentional mistake would make Chen Nian feel resentful.
Even he couldn't bear that kind of responsibility.
Now, when the two of them met and smiled, the little resentment they had before disappeared.
After sitting down, Zhu Xuejun did not immediately talk about work, but casually picked up a topic and said:
"I heard that you also developed an AI flight control program in your spare time, called Yujing 01. This thing has been implemented in actual combat at sea recently, right? It is said that the effect is quite good?"
Chen Nian chuckled, nodded and replied:
"It's not my fault alone. I have a younger brother who did most of the things."
"But the effect is really good. It was modified into a drone swarm system and a large number of monkeys were caught at sea."
"It's amazing that your spare time activities are really different from other people's spare time activities."
"It's the same, just relax and relax."
Zhu Xuejun was speechless.
What you said really makes people don’t know how to answer it.
People relax by watching movies, falling in love, and traveling to relax.
And you?
An AI flight control system was developed and implemented directly.
No one would believe it if I told you!
Next time you relax, do you want to directly create advanced artificial intelligence?
Zhu Xuejun sighed secretly and continued:
"You are in a relaxed mood. Regardless of whether you are relaxed or not, at least those comrades at sea must be relaxed a lot."
"But, having said that, the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is already very close to the port, and there is news recently that their STOVL fighter jet has also made its first flight. We are under a lot of pressure."
Chen Nian nodded slightly, and he realized that from now on, it was time to talk about business.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"The several conflicts in the early stage can only be regarded as a trial between the two of us. Basically, we win or lose each other."
"The pace of our project has indeed been slowed down, but they haven't taken any advantage."
"The key to victory is the time after the Reagan arrives at the port."
"Militarily, we need the DF-17 as a deterrent."
"In maritime affairs, we need large cutter suction dredgers to seal the victory."
"You can't make mistakes in these two parts. Only when everything is done can we win this crucial game."
"yes."
Zhu Xuejun nodded in agreement, and then looked a little disappointed.
"However, the matter of DF-17 is indeed not that simple."
"You know, although Qian Xuesen's ballistics was proposed decades ago, theory is still theory, and we have never had mature practice."
"Now it's a bit difficult for us to come up with a design that can realize this theory in a short period of time."
Zhu Xuejun said the last two words with difficulty.
She really didn't want to say frustrating words at this time, but she also knew that if some words were not spoken, it would only create worse consequences.
Yes, Chen Nian is a genius.
But his energy is limited.
He had just solved the problem of basic materials, and it was too difficult for him to immediately invest in the design of the projectile body.
Not to mention the impact of "cross-border", theoretical verification and theoretical exploration alone will take time.
Even in the most perfect situation that I know, it will take at least three months to get the results.
What, are you not even allowed to sleep?
Isn’t that killing the goose that lays the egg?
She looked at Chen Nian opposite and said nothing, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
After all, he is still a child.
When I was in my early twenties, the burden on my shoulders was really too heavy.
So she opened her mouth to comfort her:
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't actually matter."
"We will postpone the project a little bit. The situation on the sea can still be maintained. You must not worry too much and don't be too stressed."
"no."
Chen Nian raised his head and interrupted Zhu Xuejun's words.
"Mr. Zhu, I'm not under any pressure."
"That's right. I knew this thing was very difficult."
"I also know that it is not easy for you to produce results in a short period of time, not to mention that our goal is to complete the application within three months. This is too difficult."
Zhu Xuejun nodded repeatedly.
It’s good to have this understanding!
Look up to the sky and keep your feet on the ground. Only in this way can you go further.
There was an expression of admiration on her face, and she planned to give a few compliments, but...
".This is too difficult, so I have solved it for you in advance."
? ? ?
Zhu Xuejun froze on the spot.
After a long time, she asked:
"What does it mean to be resolved?"
"That's right, the problem of waverider missile body design has been solved."
"Well, the problem of the Gaoran ramjet engine has also been solved - this thing is less difficult."
"Now, we just need to solve the comprehensive cooling system."
"I originally thought of leaving it to the project team, but if it's really too late, then I'll take care of it."
Zhu Xuejun looked at Chen Nian dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief.
Chen Guo on the side didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He just looked at Zhu Xuejun with a slightly teasing look, thinking to himself:
It's this expression, it's the first time.
Hey, if you do it a few more times, you'll get used to it.
