In Chen Nian's plan, the optimal solution to the current situation is indeed to solve the problem once and for all. He has never doubted this.
But whether it can be done depends on the implementation of specific tactics.
This was not something that could yield immediate results, so he was not overly anxious and returned to his normal work rhythm.
——
Of course, compared to before, after having a clear goal, his pressure also increased.
But fortunately, everything is still within the tolerance range.
After he relaxed, Chen Nian finally remembered Wang Jiancheng and Qiu Mai who were still in Chengdu, and took the time to make an appointment with them for dinner.
At the dinner table, the three of them chatted about what had happened in the past few days.
While he was dealing with follow-up plans, these two people were naturally not idle.
Wang Jiancheng was busy with his Baize AI, while Qiu Mai found Zhang Wen and chatted with her about the research direction.
But what Chen Nian didn't expect was that Qiu Mai was actually pulled into the 096 floating raft vibration reduction project team.
Of course, neither she nor Zhang Wen knew that the project they accepted was related to 096, because they were only responsible for a very small part of the float valve mechanical isolator, namely the hydraulic connector part.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Qiu Mai may not have the opportunity to directly contact the core organization of Spark.
But it's clear that she has taken the first step.
".So you will mainly follow Zhang Wen in the future? What about your project at NPU?"
After listening to Qiu Mai's words, Chen Nian asked.
"No, I mainly work on the original mechatronics and hydraulics integration topic. Teacher Zhang's side should be regarded as a small side job."
"To be honest, this kind of project is just for improving your qualifications. It's not very difficult in itself - but it's quite interesting."
"Looking at the project requirements, I guess this thing should be a technical reserve for a new generation of submarines and ships, but I don't know when it will be used."
Chen Nian smiled and did not answer.
When can it be used?
If Qiu Mai knew the answer was "within a year", I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a relaxed attitude.
The three chatted casually for a while, and the topic quickly and naturally turned to the recently hot South Island issue. Qiu Mai did not have many strong opinions on this, but Wang Jiancheng, on the other hand, gritted his teeth whenever the South Island was mentioned.
"I think like most people, this broken island must be taken down sooner or later. It's better to do it now."
"I have tolerated them for a long time. I checked the information on the Internet and I can see them trying to make their presence felt wherever I go."
"What the hell, senior, do you know, didn't I publish a paper on the intelligent control system of mechanical exoskeletons before? Some people from South Island specially brought this paper up for discussion, saying that I plagiarized the results."
"There's something wrong! How long has our project been in existence? He actually insisted that I copied the contents of General Dynamics' forward-looking research report."
"Do I still need to copy that kind of crappy thing? How long has GM been tinkering with exoskeletons, and they still haven't made a usable model yet."
"I'm still copying them? They're just copying me."
"The most irritating thing is, didn't we have cases where civilian exoskeletons were used in project construction before? Do you know what those people said?"
"They said that our exoskeleton is modified from an electric bicycle, and the reason is that the battery used is an electric vehicle battery. Isn't this just sick?"
"Co-authoring GM's exoskeleton is the light of mankind and leading industrial change. If we develop exoskeletons, is it just a transformation of an electric car?"
Chen Nian wanted to laugh when he heard this, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"There's no need to be angry with them. After all, being able to transform a motorcycle into a Transformer is pretty awesome."
"Senior, your brain circuit is really unpredictable sometimes."
Wang Jiancheng sighed deeply, and then continued:
"But to be honest, I think the South Island problem needs to be solved."
"To put it bluntly, their tendency in the past two years has been very wrong. TD is not only on the rise, it should be said that it has gradually become mainstream consciousness."
"If they are allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid the situation will become more difficult in the future."
Chen Nian nodded slightly and replied:
"Indeed, it is basically impossible to achieve the goal through purely peaceful means."
"The problem we are facing now is nothing more than when to do it and how to do it."
"They all come from the same school. You should also know about equipment. At present, our military equipment is really not enough in front of the United States. Let alone a full-scale confrontation, even fighting a local war is a bit difficult."
"Especially when landing operations and denial operations are involved, the problem will be more serious."
"What's the problem with these two tactics? For landing operations, we have 072 and 072II. It is said that there is also news about the 075 type. It will be launched in a year or two at most."
"Refuse to fight, we have 001, 055, and the latest 094, plus a lot of land-based ballistic missiles and fourth-generation aircraft, it is no problem to fight two aircraft carrier battle groups, right?"
Chen Nian rolled his eyes and said with hatred:
"Isn't this pure ivory tower thinking of yours? What's the use of comparing the combat effectiveness of individual equipment? In a real fight, if there is no obvious generation difference, quantity is king."
"In a word, if someone tries to play saturation strike with you, what will you do?"
"No matter how strong the 055's air defense capabilities are, after all, there is only one ship. A dozen Ticonderoga and Burke-class ships stand together. Can you break through the defense with a salvo? Not to mention their advantages in carrier-based aircraft. Already."
"As long as we fight to fill the initial stage with battle losses, after our equipment is exhausted, the battle situation will soon become one-sided in their favor."
Chen Nian's words are a bit exaggerated. In fact, 055 is not that easy to break through defenses, and it is not that easy to fill up China's production capacity.
The reason why he said this was to cool down Wang Jiancheng's mood a little.
However, after listening to his words, Wang Jiancheng on the opposite side nodded thoughtfully.
"This is a problem. So we need a killer weapon, preferably one that can turn the tide of the war!"
"Who doesn't know? But the problem is, there is no such weapon in the world."
"Even if there is one, it can't be built in a short time."
"Well, it's true that physical weapons can't be made, but what if it's a virus? I mean, a computer virus."
Chen Nian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Wang Jiancheng's words.
Virus?
This is a common idea, especially after the appearance of Panda Burning Incense in 2006. It can almost be said that as long as the Internet is mentioned, viruses cannot be avoided.
But the problem is
It is not enforceable at all.
The military networks of every country in the world are physically isolated. At that time, the United States relied on its almost overwhelming technological advantages to launch an attack on the Iranian military network, but it ultimately failed.
Coupled with the special composition of military networks, it is determined that they do not have the soil for large-scale spread of viruses.
Not feasible.
Chen Nian wanted to refute, but Wang Jiancheng spoke first:
"I'm thinking that we don't necessarily have to directly attack the military network. That would be too difficult and costly."
"If only a few key nodes are targeted, such as airports, power hubs, and industrial facilities."
"As long as these departments are hit, the military's combat effectiveness will definitely decline rapidly."
? ? ?
Suddenly an idea flashed in Chen Nian's mind.
From Wang Jiancheng's words, he suddenly experienced a sense of familiarity.
Where did you hear this strategy?
He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
I got it.
Stuxnet.
This is the only dedicated virus that the United States has achieved results in Iran that directly targets nuclear facilities.
At first, the virus destroyed more than 1,000 centrifuge equipment in Iran within two months. Until it was finally made public, Iran did not find any problems.
Stuxnet can be said to have completely destroyed Iran's nuclear program to a certain extent, which also made it one of the most successful computer viruses in history.
However, even in this classic case that was so successful that it could be included in textbooks, the source of the spread of the virus still used social engineering methods - it was brought into the facility on a USB flash drive.
But once it reaches a state of war, there is no room for such social engineering methods to be used.
So, if you want to do it, you have to start now.
A bold idea came to Chen Nian's mind. He looked at Wang Jiancheng and said:
"That's a good idea."
"How about we give it a try together?"
At the same time, the South Island side.
Gu Kuanmin is sitting in his office, conscientiously fulfilling his responsibilities as the party leader.
For an old man over eighty years old, the work at hand is indeed too arduous. Just reading the party affairs report makes him dizzy and breathless.
But even so, he is absolutely unwilling to let others do it for him.
After all, this is the first time he has reached such a high position, and it is also a critical period for whether he can go further before his death.
He knows his position very well and what the financial backers really want him to do.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it just about being a dog?
It also needs to be the kind of dog that can bark and bite.
But he didn't mind that - his family had a lot of experience when it came to being a dog.
He cannot be said to be proud of this, but rather proud of his "political wisdom."
if not?
He made the right bets time and time again and followed the right people time and time again. Although he had a bad reputation, he did leave a huge family fortune to himself and his descendants.
As long as he takes charge at the last moment of this generation, then by the latest generation, this family can be completely cleansed.
At that time, no matter which direction you choose, you will be able to do it with ease.
Maybe, in some extreme circumstances, future generations can play out the drama of "sudden awakening" and turn in the opposite direction to gain a greater future.
Thinking of this, Gu Kuanmin showed a satisfied smile on his face.
After reading the last document, he took off his reading glasses, picked up the phone receiver, and dialed the number that he remembered even with his eyes closed.
And soon, a middle-aged man's voice came from the receiver.
The man greeted with a standard American accent and the enthusiasm unique to white people:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gu. How are you today?"
Gu Kuanmin responded with a gentle tone:
"My waist is a little sore after sitting for a long time, but everything is fine."
"The medical staff you sent are very responsible. Thank them for me."
"No problem, I will convey it personally."
The man agreed immediately, and then continued to ask:
"Mr. Gu, this should be your lunch break. You called me suddenly. Is there something important?"
"Yes, there are some situations that I need to communicate with you."
After hearing this, the man's tone became a little more serious, and the sound of paper turning came from the other end of the phone. After a while, he spoke:
"Mr. Gu, just tell me, I will record everything."
On this side, Gu Kuanmin also opened the notes he had made, put on his glasses again, and began to report to the man item by item.
"What I want to say is that most of the plans we made previously have been launched, and some of them have reached a considerable degree of completion."
"The first is the public opinion offensive against the other side. Under our arrangements, the public opinion environment on the other side has changed significantly. At present, their people have formed a unified understanding of the so-called 'Wutong'."
"The total cost of this part of the plan is US$41.67 million. I will send you the details."
"No problem, the funds will be received according to your request - of course, in the form of donations."
The man answered immediately.
"Okay, I believe in your ability to do things."
Gu Kuanmin paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then continued:
"On the other hand, the comprehensive decoupling plan has been gradually launched, and the first batch of industries is expected to include semiconductors, fresh fruits, and electromechanical-mainly recording, printing machinery, and CNC machine tools."
"We estimate that we will sustain losses totaling $4 billion as a result of this plan."
"This is not a small number, so I hope to get your order confirmation as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of the entire industry."
"Understood, I have sent a report to Congress and it is expected that the progress of order confirmation will be accelerated in the next two weeks. You don't have to worry about this."
"That's good. In addition, I also have some new problems in terms of personnel appointments and removals."
Gu Kuanmin continued talking, and the two chatted for half an hour before finally sorting out the recent situation.
After confirming the last item in the note, Gu Kuanmin said with some emotion:
"At this point, our fates will be completely tied together."
"This is a big gamble. Maybe you can't understand our pressure, but I still want to say one more thing."
"Don't abandon us. Nandao is your most loyal partner and your strongest shield."
"With us standing in front of you, no one can challenge your position."
Listening to Gu Kuanmin's words of loyalty, the man on the other end of the phone couldn't help but want to laugh.
But out of professionalism, he still replied in a serious tone:
"Don't worry, everything will go according to plan."
"You have an old saying, you will win only if you love to fight."
"I think this is the time to fight."
"Even in the most extreme situation, as long as Nandao can block the first wave of attacks, and as long as you can survive two weeks, then your way forward will be completely opened."
Gu Kuanmin nodded slowly, thinking secretly in his heart:
Two weeks?
It doesn't sound like that difficult.
