"China's first aircraft carrier is launched, and the navy enters a new era!"
"Named the Liaoning ship! It may be able to carry more than 40 carrier-based aircraft!"
"The 1130 close-in defense gun, the Haihongqi 10 air defense missile, and an unknown model of advanced radar system can compete with the Nimitz class!"
"From today on, move towards the deep blue!"
After the launch of the Liaoning ship, reports about this "first ship in history" were overwhelming. No matter how much you know about the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, no matter how much you understand the significance of the aircraft carrier launch event, there is one thing that you don't need to think about. can draw conclusions.
That is:
Once others had something that we didn’t have, and now we have it too.
Even this alone is enough to cheer up all the people in the country.
You know, for a long time, aircraft carriers were equipment exclusive to the legendary "developed countries" and even the United States.
Even Russia and Europe cannot afford aircraft carriers.
The Kuznetsov is already dying, the British Victory class has been sold long ago, and there is no trace of the new aircraft carrier that has been built for many years. The so-called Izumo of the island nation is just a helicopter carrier.
What do they compare with the Liaoning ship?
How can it be compared with this Liaoning ship, which has the 055 as its shield and the J-20 series as its sword?
The bright future of the Navy is already at hand—or, more accurately, the bright future of this country is at hand.
However, Chen Nian was not very interested in the cheering reactions on the Internet.
To be honest, there were so many new technologies and new equipment that broke out in China during this period, and the people's reactions were so frequent that Chen Nian was a little tired of it.
Not only him, but the public also feels vaguely aesthetic fatigue.
You know, when we saw the J-20 for the first time, everyone's reaction was still shock and ecstasy. By the time we got to the H-20, the temperature had cooled down a little. If it hadn't been for the big show during the Spring Festival Gala, the attention might still have been there. It's really not that high.
And now, it's an electromagnetic gun, another 055, and another Liaoning ship.
After reading more, everyone had strange thoughts in their hearts:
Isn't this how it should be? Isn't this a matter of course?
We should have had large cruisers and aircraft carriers.
It’s already 2007, so it’s not too early, right?
Therefore, under such a "general idea", most of the discussions about the Liaoning ship are not about how strong it is or how difficult it is to build it, but how to make it stronger.
What? Or ski jumping on the deck? Hammer it down!
What? It’s not nuclear power? Tear it down and rebuild it!
What? The carrier-based aircraft capacity is only 40? Forget about adding more, there is no need to add carrier-based aircraft.
40 J-20s are almost enough to destroy a small country.
However, the J-20 alone is not enough. Ground attack aircraft must keep up. So the core problem is not the aircraft carrier, but the fighter jets.
Get on board the fourth generation bomb truck!
Without bomb trucks, how can you hit the opponent's clustered ground targets?
Chen Nian casually browsed the posts on the forum, which made him feel funny and confused.
This generation of netizens is really difficult to lead, and the requirements are a bit too high.
But regarding the ground attack aircraft, he quite agreed.
At present, in China's air force system, the most critical early warning aircraft, bombers, and air superiority fighters have all made breakthroughs. Next, they will develop in a more comprehensive direction.
Obviously, a fighter jet like the J-16, known for its large bomb load, is an excellent transitional choice.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian subconsciously opened the system interface.
Now, the number of source points in his hand has reached an astonishing number of 270 points, all of which have been saved to prepare for metal hydrogen batteries.
He entered the entry for "J-16", clicked on it, and found that the parsing requirement was only 0.3 points.
It's almost like giving it away for free.
How is this going? Has Shen Fei taken any action in advance?
He turned on his computer and looked through the meeting minutes of the Spark Team. Sure enough, he saw a project application for a new generation of multi-purpose fighter in the minutes from a few months ago.
Probably because I was busy with electromagnetic guns, 055 and 001 at that time, I didn't pay attention to this news.
The origin point of 0.3 shows that Shen Fei has almost no obstacles in the process of developing this fighter.
Maybe it will take some time to transform into a carrier-based model, but from another perspective, it is also an exercise for the talent team.
Therefore, Chen Nian made up his mind not to interfere, but directly sent Shen Fei the suggestion of "synchronous development of carrier-based models" through Spark's internal email.
It was said to be a suggestion, but in fact, his request was no different from an order.
Chen Nian quickly received a reply from Shen Fei. While confirming his acceptance of the task, he also reported a more detailed project plan to him.
According to their plan, this unnamed "multi-purpose fighter" will undergo a qualitative test flight around May of the following year. The entire development process only takes 18 months, which can be said to be extremely fast.
——
But that's right, this thing didn't have any breakthrough technology in the first place. After adding the variable cycle engine, the power became stronger, the battery life became longer, and the load capacity also increased.
Without considering stealth, perhaps the biggest challenge is how to use composite pylons to hang more ammunition on a body that is not too big.
After reading the report, Chen Nian closed the computer.
At this moment, Chen Guo also walked in.
He looked at Chen Nian and said:
"The superior will send you away. He understands you very well. It's normal to say he doesn't want to see you."
"In addition, he asked me to give you a message, saying that after the key projects are over and before the new near-future projects are launched, he asked you to take some time to rest and go to Hainan."
"It's said that there are new things prepared for you over there, not just the exhibition hall last time."
"Of course, the things in the exhibition hall have also been updated, and I would also like to take a look - how about flying to Hainan before returning to Chengdu?"
After listening to Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"It's not impossible. Let's go and rest for two days. It's really a bit overdrawn during this period."
"However, I would like to know what new work they have done?"
Chen Guo couldn't help but rolled her eyes and replied:
"What's a new job? That's a surprise!"
"I don't know what it is, I'll know it when I see it."
"What's so secret about this thing?"
Chen Nian asked dissatisfiedly.
"It's not that it's kept secret, it's that there are only a few people handling it. They're all handled by specialists. They didn't go through Xinghuo and didn't report to us, so of course I don't know."
"If you want to know, you can call now and ask."
".Then forget it, let's go and fly to Hainan."
"Now?"
"Now!"
When I came to Hainan again, in fact, the situation of this "sanatorium" or this "base" did not change much from the last time.
Thanks to the tropical climate, it is summer all year round on the island.
Chen Nian put on a casual short-sleeved outfit and walked slowly along the beach with Chen Guo, not in a hurry to solve the surprising mystery.
The sea breeze was as humid as the water vapor in the bathroom. The sun had slowly set, but the sunlight reflected from the sea was still a bit dazzling.
Chen Nian removed his eyes and turned to look at the lush woods inside the island.
After a moment, he spoke:
"In fact, for a long time, my dream was to own a resort hotel of my own."
"It has to be located on the seaside, and it has to be on the seaside in a popular tourist area."
"It must have a spacious infinity pool, forest paths shaded by green plants, a vantage point from which to watch the sunset over the sea, and an open-air bar that allows visitors to see the stars."
"As the boss, I don't need to do anything else every day."
"The only job is to chat with tourists from all over the world, understand their needs and collect their suggestions."
"Then, I will use my supreme power in this hotel to give drinks, free rooms, free entertainment and other things to some guests who I like."
"If I can meet young and beautiful customers who are pleasing to my eyes, I may have some romantic stories with them that cannot be told to others."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo couldn't help but laugh.
He shook his head and said:
"I thought you had really become a saint. You have no desires or thoughts. You only develop and export technology like a machine."
"Now it seems that you are quite normal - it's just that you usually suppress things better."
Chen Nian shook his head and denied:
"I'm not depressed."
"I think this is quite boring."
"Think about what I am doing now. My opponent is the most powerful country in the world, and my allies are the smartest among mankind. Any goal I set will fundamentally change the situation. Change the world.”
"In this case, I really don't see how 'being a resort owner' or 'sleeping with a beautiful guest' would be any fun."
"It's only when I'm completely relaxed like this that I suddenly recall the feeling of anticipation at that time and have the urge to give it a try."
"Of course, this impulse disappears quickly - don't mess around, it will only cause trouble to me."
Chen Guo nodded and replied:
"Of course, no one would be that stupid."
"However, I think you are in good condition."
"Did you know? In fact, at a certain time, many people were worried about you."
"They worry that your position is too high, and too many grand narratives will swallow up your nature as a human being, eventually leading to uncontrollable results."
"I'm not afraid to admit to you that at some point, you are actually a dangerous weapon that needs to be controlled."
"A weapon that can save the world or destroy it at any time."
"You know what happened that changed those people's opinions?"
"Earthquake warning."
Chen Nian answered without hesitation.
".That's right."
Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian seriously and continued:
"We all know what you paid for when you made this decision, and it is because of this that you have gained complete trust."
"Human beings are a complex group. Many times, although we seem to have a very high degree of social organization and civilization, the decisions we make are based on the instinct of life continuation."
"A long time ago, I read some of Freud's theories."
"In his view, all human behavior and all mental conditions can be attributed to the matter of 'reproduction'."
"No matter what you do, in the final analysis, it is for the continuation of life."
"Of course, this refers to the life continuation of 'individual life and direct blood relatives'"
"This is the inevitable result of the deconstruction of capitalism."
Chen Nian interrupted Chen Guo's words and spoke without thinking.
Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian in surprise. For a moment, she didn't know how to continue.
Chen Nian pointed out the core of the problem straightforwardly in just one sentence.
And this core, even for myself, actually took several years to figure out.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said:
"Yes, this is the inevitable conclusion after the capitalist deconstruction of human society."
"They believe that the pursuit of individual continuity is the ultimate meaning of human existence."
"The so-called Western human rights, the so-called personal freedom, the so-called anti-discrimination, and all the ideological trends they have advocated in recent years are actually born out of this 'ultimate meaning.'"
“It’s not so much that they control capitalism, but that capitalism controls them.”
"Because capitalism, in essence, is 'independence'."
Chen Guo paused for a moment and suddenly asked:
"So you know why, right? Why our trust in you has suddenly risen to its peak in the near future."
"It's not because of the aircraft carrier or the 055 - of course, this is very important."
"But what really makes us comrades is your attitude towards life."
"What we pursue is collective survival. We believe that allowing more people to survive is better than having fewer people survive anyway."
"This is also the essence of the concept we adhere to, so you will see that in many cases, we will save the lives of some people at any cost."
"Because essentially, this is the bottom line of this doctrine, and the bottom line cannot be breached."
"From the moment you choose to speak, you are your true and closest comrade."
Chen Nian's eyes flickered for a few times, and he suddenly realized that from this moment on, many things might be different.
A new era is beginning, and I may truly become the protagonist of this era.
He didn't say anything more, he just turned around and walked towards the manor with Chen Guo.
After arriving inside the manor, Chen Nian finally saw the "updated" equipment.
A one-to-one high-speed train bullet.
Three J-20 full series fighter jets.
A model of an H-20.
A small electromagnetic gun that looks like it can actually fire.
Chen Guo pointed to the furnishings outside the door and introduced:
"H-20 and 055 will only be models from now on. However, your superiors gave you an authorization."
"Under special circumstances, you have the right to bypass all decision-makers and mobilize the H-20 and 055. They can be said to be in your hands in another way."
Chen Nian scratched his head and said subconsciously:
"Is this a grant of military authority?"
". It's not impossible to think like this - if we compare it, it's probably equivalent to being able to carry a sword-faced saint in ancient times."
Chen Nian suddenly felt that Chen Guo's description was very appropriate. Giving him the power to mobilize such two powerful weapons was really no different from a sword-faced saint.
However, he had no intention of "transferring here for fun".
At this time, he was more interested in what his superiors called "new gifts."
"So where's the new stuff?"
he asked.
"in the room."
Chen Guo took Chen Nian into the villa, and on the table in the hall, Chen Nian saw the so-called "gift".
That's a newspaper.
A serious daily newspaper.
An entire newspaper contains only a few dozen lines.
And its title already indicates the entire content of this newspaper.
"In the 21st century, the greatest scientist of the Republic: Chen Nian."
Chen Nian silently looked at the content of this report.
"He is China's greatest scientist after the 21st century. Under his leadership, our country has achieved technological leaps in several fields in a very short period of time."
“The J-22, J-20, H-20, and Kongjing-500 that soar in the skies over China were all designed by him. With his own efforts, he broke the Western world’s technological blockade on aero-engines and developed The world's most advanced variable-cycle engine has pushed my country's aerospace industry to the top of the world in one fell swoop."
"The high-speed rail EMUs that are racing across the land of China come from him. With top-notch technology, he helped China complete the initial construction of high-speed railways in a very short period of time."
"On the blue ocean, he took the lead in the research and development of the Type 055 destroyer and Type 001 aircraft carrier. Without his painstaking efforts, it would have taken at least 10 years for the Chinese Navy to move into the deep blue."
"In addition, every inch of land and every area of the Republic has his shadow."
"He is the closest comrade and the most trusted partner."
"And now, his steps have not stopped."
"We will do whatever it takes to protect his path."
Chen Nian raised his head and looked at Chen Guo, and asked with some confusion:
"What does this mean? Hold a memorial service for me in advance?"
Chen Guo smiled and shook her head, pointed to one side of the newspaper and replied:
"Look at the publication date, it's blank here."
"You can fill in the blank whenever you want."
"I won't fill it out. There's no need."
Chen Nian shook his head and said.
"Maybe you won't, but this is actually a signal."
"They want to tell you that you can make your own choices at any time, and the country is ready."
"A new era is coming, the situation will be more complicated and the confrontation will be more intense."
"Maybe one day, your identity will be gradually dug out and you can no longer hide it."
"This is really not something that can be avoided through 'total secrecy.' Intelligence confrontation is more dangerous than most people think."
"So, what this newspaper represents is the determination of the top."
"This determination is very simple."
"When you are in danger for any reason, the entire nuclear arsenal is the price the enemy pays for taking you."
