The same routine was used by China in the previous life.
But obviously, the effect this time is much better.
After all, what China released this time was a complete and clear map, and it even marked the possible subsequent dispatch directions of the ships.
It would be absolutely impossible to do this if the information we have is not highly accurate and complete.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Reagan formation was scared out of a sharp angle.
After all, the meaning of this picture is not simply "discovery", but "locking". There is no guarantee that in the next second, a YJ-21H with a metallic hydrogen charge will hit my head. .
Escape is the only right choice.
On the battlefield, such a choice is not shameful. It can even be said to be a very smart and rational strategy.
——
But obviously, not many people think so.
Not long after, China released a second wave of pictures in a murderous manner, which was exactly the direction and location of the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan's retreat after turning around.
After the picture was released, public opinion exploded instantly.
In the office in Chengdu, Chen Nian took advantage of his break to read the comments from netizens with great interest.
"See, this is a real sharp-angle turn. Look at their maneuverability and reaction speed. Face the gap squarely and try to catch up."
"I know the weird things upstairs, but why does this plot feel a bit familiar to me? What was the reason for the last time the aircraft carrier battle group turned at a sharp angle?"
"It seems like yesterday - so can someone come out and explain? What happened, why did the Reagan run so fast?"
"It's not the picture that was on the news at the beginning. At first, everyone thought that picture was purely a strategic deduction diagram. But later it was discovered that it was not a deduction at all, but an accurate positioning diagram of the opponent."
"What the hell? How did you get the position?"
"This brings us to what the director said, 'We can't have high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.' Without high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, how can the location information be so accurate?"
"It's impossible to do it with satellites. Our radar satellite technology is still 30 years behind the advanced level, so the only answer is reconnaissance aircraft."
"Moreover, it has to be the kind of reconnaissance plane that comes and goes without a trace, and even the United States cannot catch it."
"I guess there will be official news soon, just wait and see."
As soon as this comment came out, everyone thought it was reasonable.
Indeed.
Even the US suspected that it was our reconnaissance plane. Now that the pictures have come out, they still don’t admit it?
Although soldiers never tire of deception, this deception is too ruthless.
"So, will the United States really believe what the bureau chief says? If he says no, then he won't?"
"That's not the case, the US think tank is not joking, but no matter what, our remarks will definitely be used as a reference."
"I can only say that it has a certain effect."
"As long as it works. When can we see the real machine?"
"If I knew what you were asking, would I still be here talking nonsense to you?"
After reading the series of comments, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel funny.
He has never seen someone get slapped in the face so quickly.
In the past, if you said no, it would take at least two or three years, and you would wait until the project matured before you slap it in the face. But now?
In less than two days, it was almost completed.
However, this also shows that our own combat ideas and foreign strategies are changing. It is very likely that in the future we will skip the war and neglect stage and directly enter the war and terror stage.
After all, under the current situation, the benefits of deliberately concealing strength are far less than deterrence and intimidation.
The US's retreat is clear evidence of this.
After closing the forum page, Chen Nian returned his attention to the thick pile of information on the desktop.
All of this information is first-hand information collected by experts from the Spark Team from various laboratories and research groups. The content covers everything from the most basic particle principles to practical reactor construction to nuclear fusion and Toka. Comprehensive information on cutting-edge research at Mark's devices.
It took Chen Nian two full days to go through the contents of the catalog. He was still far from being able to dismantle the core technology by himself.
But fortunately, he didn't plan to really rely on himself.
The reason why we need to spend time to see and learn is, on the one hand, the need for source points, and on the other hand, it is to establish a global concept for ourselves, so as to avoid being at a loss after actually using the system for analysis. .
As for the core technical difficulties he really needs, the experts below have already prepared them for him.
To put it bluntly, it’s nothing more than a few aspects.
First wall problems, superconducting material problems, helium ash loss problems, tritium raw material self-sustaining problems, and neutron radiation problems.
Among them, the problem of superconducting materials can be completely solved by metallic hydrogen, so there is no need to consider it directly.
But the first wall, the problem of seed radiation, is still difficult.
To give a simple example, now I want to use a pot to stir-fry, but the problem is that my fire is 1000 degrees, but my pot's heat resistance is only 600 degrees.
Before the vegetables are cooked, the pot melts.
Therefore, we need to develop new materials to ensure that the "pot" surrounding the reactor will not melt away before the food is cooked.
This is not easy to operate. After all, what Chen Nian saw in the system was that the source point consumption required for materials that could meet this requirement was more than 1,000 points.
It's possible, but it's not necessary.
We still have to find a way to continue subdividing it to achieve the highest efficiency possible.
In addition to the first wall and anti-seed radiation materials, the problem of helium ash loss must be solved by the divertor, which is also a big technical difficulty.
One side of the divertor is burning plasma with hundreds of millions of degrees, while the other side is made of ordinary materials beyond the first wall. Its cooling performance requirements are extremely exaggerated. As far as Chen Nian knows, there is currently no research group in the world. Make reliable prototypes.
In comparison, the problem of material self-sustainability is much easier.
Anyway, great efforts can produce miracles. Once metallic hydrogen comes out, the complexity of the entire system design decreases in a geometric progression. The freed up redundant space can solve a material self-sustaining problem.
After sorting out all the contents, Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.
The overall technical path of the nuclear fusion project has been sorted out. If everything goes well, China may be able to build its first experimental fusion device within two to three years.
Only then will human history fully enter a new era.
——
But what is interesting is that nuclear fusion devices may become a new deterrent solution?
If you dare to touch me, I will destroy this technology. Let's finish it together.
A smile appeared on Chen Nian's face, and the thought flashed past and disappeared quickly.
But what he didn't know was that far away in Europe, there was a group of people who had the same idea as him and were having a heated debate.
"So overall, we believe that the retreat of the USS Ronald Reagan this time is reasonable and sensible."
"At the same time, our request is also very simple, that is: the United States must withdraw from sensitive areas, stop interfering with China's actions in the Strait, and cancel all actions that further provoke the current situation."
"From a legal perspective, all countries recognize that this matter is China's internal matter."
"Realistically speaking, the US action has basically failed, and there is no need to try further."
In a large conference room, dozens of representatives from NATO countries gathered together to express their opinions on the current situation.
The person who just spoke was a representative from the United Kingdom. His face was full of "hating iron but not steel" expression. He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the recent actions of the United States.
This is very unusual - although Britain and the United States are not an unbreakable community of interests, for a long time in the past, the two countries have been advancing and retreating together.
Even if there are differences of opinion, most of the time they are resolved behind closed doors, and it is absolutely impossible to develop into the current situation of public confrontation.
Obviously, the conflict between the two parties has reached an almost irreconcilable point.
After hearing his speech, the American representative raised his hand and retorted:
"First of all, we have to correct one thing. Our actions did not fail, but we made corresponding strategic adjustments."
"Everyone here must know this."
"On the sea, China's hard power still cannot compete with us. Even though they have mastered many advanced technologies, in terms of quantity,"
"Don't you think it's funny?"
Before he could finish speaking, the British representative interrupted him rudely.
"Quantity, quantity, have you ever thought about how many warships you need to fill the technological gap with quantity?"
"Here, I don't want to talk about their aircraft carriers, their missiles, their submarines."
"I just want to talk about the recent incident - a high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Its technical strength has far exceeded what we can achieve."
"Under such a generation gap, does it really make sense to talk about the so-called quantity?"
"Why did the Reagan retreat? Don't you have an answer in your own minds?"
".It was an accident."
The US representative said helplessly.
In fact, he didn't know how to refute the British questions, because in fact, what they said was actually the truth.
"This was not an accident."
The British representative was about to speak, but the German side spoke first.
"There is no need to argue, and our meeting this time is not to question your military strength."
"This is just one of the reasons. What really made us make the decision is a reason that all of us know very well."
"Don't tell me that you don't know, because according to our intelligence system, your information collection work started earlier than we did."
As soon as these words were spoken, the US representative immediately shut up.
The deterrent brought by metallic hydrogen explosives is a sensitive topic that cannot be mentioned - unless the other party directly points it out, he cannot even answer the conversation.
After hesitating for a long time, he said:
"I don't understand you."
"Metallic hydrogen."
The German representative spoke without hesitation.
After hearing his answer, other country representatives in the venue who had not received accurate information were all stunned on the spot.
Metallic hydrogen?
These three words were nothing more than a bombshell, dropped directly on everyone's sensitive nerves.
So, was the explosion at sea caused by the metallic hydrogen experiment?
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the American representative.
Those who responded quickly had already figured out the reason for Yingde's direct attack, while those who responded slowly still looked confused.
The US representative frowned and after confirming that there was no room for change, he spoke:
"Metallic hydrogen is not as big a threat as we thought, and they still face major problems with production capacity."
"At the same time, according to our estimates, the amount of metallic hydrogen they hold is far from reaching the level to launch a full-scale attack on us, and it is definitely not enough to trigger a nuclear counterattack from us."
"To this we can commit"
"We don't need your commitment."
The British representative interrupted the American representative for the third time, then ignored the other party's angry eyes and continued:
"Nuclear risks are only one aspect. What we are thinking about is something further away."
"Why don't I just point it out directly."
"Nuclear fusion."
His words could not have been more obvious. Even if the reaction was slow, everyone in the conference room had already figured it out.
Yes, with metallic hydrogen, a mythical room-temperature superconducting material, the difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion will be greatly reduced.
The technology that all countries, all scientific researchers, and all human beings are eagerly looking forward to finally has hope of realizing it.
The United States, however, is still sparing no effort to be hostile to China.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to kill the hope of human progress, or do you want to take away technology and further consolidate your hegemony?
No matter which situation occurs, it will definitely not be a good thing for the representatives of various countries present here.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of most representatives changed.
They looked at the American representative warily, waiting for his answer.
But this is a question that cannot be answered.
So, he had no choice but to remain silent.
By this time, the British representatives had lost their patience.
He directly raised his hand and said:
"If you insist on taking the next step, then we can only adjust our strategies simultaneously."
"We will stand on China's side - this position is temporary, but it does not rule out that it will evolve into a long-term strategy due to continued provocations by the United States."
After the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that the British would make such a threat.
But if you think about it carefully, this decision makes sense.
After all, when the enemy holds the power to change the world, a better strategy is to try to seize that power.
Don't make him an enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the German representative also raised his hand.
"We will choose the same strategy as the British."
This is forced uterus.
The US representative looked at this scene helplessly. He wanted to stop and stop the meeting, but he also knew that the situation was irreversible.
More and more delegates raised their hands.
UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands.
The European Union fell across the board, and even Türkiye finally compromised.
Canada is the only country that has persisted to the end and is influential.
The American representatives looked at this scene in despair.
He suddenly had a feeling:
It turns out that the changes in the world had begun long before he noticed it.
