#266 - Chapter 266: North American Secret Discussion! Copy and Paste VS R&D? It's decided!
The Pentagon.
A classified conference room.
A group of people at the peak of power sat quietly around the conference table.
The President!
In that battle, the fighter jets were not attacked by hot weapons, and since they had just taken off from the flight deck, they were not at a very high altitude—after the crash, many pilots survived, such as the few in front of them.
At this moment, they were recounting every detail of their experience.
"North America is proud of you!"
Finally.
Thomas stood up: "Congratulations to you for successfully completing the mission, go and rest."
The pilots left.
"What do you all think?" The President looked at the scientists.
As early as three days ago, rescue personnel had been sent to the East China Sea to repair the ships.
Repairs take time.
Right now, it was time to figure out what exactly happened in this engagement!
"This is the strange equipment they described."
A scientist picked up a piece of paper.
Astonishingly!
The drawing on it was of an electronic warfare pod!
"Among these soldiers, three of them claimed to have seen..."
The scientist pointed to the front and rear tips of the pod in the drawing: "This device releases a faint blue arc, and the most likely explanation for producing this arc is...an electromagnetic pulse!"
"I agree!"
"The possibility of an electromagnetic pulse is extremely high!"
Many scientists followed suit in agreement.
"So..."
The President frowned deeply: "This is a completely new piece of equipment that even we don't have? With our technology, can we develop it?"
"Not yet."
Scientists in related fields shook their heads helplessly: "Electromagnetic pulse technology has existed for a long time, but applying it to actual combat...there are many technological barriers—at least, it will take more than ten years!"
The ten years mentioned here are under the condition that the research direction has been determined and there is sufficient funding.
"Damn it!"
Thomas was furious: "So for the next ten years, it will be like a sword hanging over our heads?!"
The Polar Bear has already been dismembered.
North America is the only superpower.
But now...
These scientists claim that a technology they don't have has appeared, and it will take at least ten years to develop successfully.
These ten years, to be completely suppressed?
Unacceptable!
He had personally experienced the horror of that engagement.
Eight MiG-21s, without carrying any other hot weapons, overwhelmed the entire aircraft carrier fleet.
It was a nightmare!
The most outrageous thing was...
That thing not only attacked fighter jets and ships, but could even intercept and detonate air-launched missiles!
What does this mean?
North America's naval and air power will be unable to project over long distances.
Forget about freedom of navigation.
They can't even leave the North American continent!
"No!"
The scientist shook his head: "Although it will take ten years to develop this weapon, we can find ways to resist it."
"Resist?" The President's eyes lit up.
"Find some methods to isolate or weaken the electromagnetic pulse, so that we don't...suffer such a crushing defeat this time!"
"How long will it take?!"
"Uncertain, but it won't be too long."
"Then..."
The President immediately stood up and said, word by word: "Develop resistance technology and fully develop pulse weapons. Congress will definitely pass the proposal, and there is no need to worry about funding—America must lead the world!"
"Yes!"
A group of scientists stood up one after another.
...
Jiaotong University faculty residential area.
In the small courtyard.
Chen Hao was working hard.
He didn't know that the Pentagon had just finished a meeting, but everything was as expected.
Is the electronic warfare pod that powerful?
It's strong, but not that strong.
In the previous battle, a mere eight MiG-21 fighter jets completely crushed an entire aircraft carrier fleet—judging by the results, it can be said to be ridiculously strong.
But!
If it was really that powerful, why bother developing the J-20C?
Why develop an improved version of the 055 destroyer?
There would be no need to develop anything. The electronic warfare pod alone would be able to suppress the entire North American naval and air force!
Yes.
It's not that powerful!
Under the circumstances that the J-20C could not be mass-produced on schedule, it was a forced compromise, thinking of protecting China's airspace security before the new fighter jet was released.
The reason is very simple.
As long as the electronic warfare pod is used in actual combat, with North America's technology, it won't take long to find some countermeasures.
Weaken the pulse!
Even completely isolate it, so that it is completely unaffected.
If a mere electronic warfare pod could completely suppress North America, that would be a miracle!
China's rejuvenation requires various new equipment.
It's just that Chen Hao increasingly realized that his abilities were too limited.
There is a massive amount of knowledge in his memory.
But to turn this technical knowledge into materials that others can see...
Difficult!
Not to mention anything else.
Just the core and non-core complete set of technologies for the improved version of the 055, even if he didn't think and directly transcribed it, it would take at least a few months.
These few months mean that besides eating, drinking, and sleeping, all the time is spent on it.
In fact, he has other things to do.
And this.
Is just the 055 destroyer.
How many similar large pieces of equipment are there?
Destroyers!
Aircraft carriers!
Tactical and strategic nuclear submarines!
Strategic bombers!
Strategic transport aircraft!
Various types of jet fighters, helicopters, etc.
There is also medium-sized equipment, such as frigates, tanks, self-propelled artillery, and rocket launchers.
There are even more types of small individual soldier equipment.
The above is only military industry.
Various civilian high-tech products are also numerous.
It can be said.
To bring out all the technology in his mind, a lifetime may not be enough.
The question comes!
If all the time is spent on bringing out these technologies, what about various research and development?
For example, he is currently engaged in new material research.
How long has it been since he went to the laboratory?
Secondly.
The explosion in his previous life allowed him to obtain the memories of more than two thousand scientists in various fields.
It's definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two!
Let's put it this way.
If there is enough time to integrate knowledge from different fields, it is likely to give birth to cross-generational technology—surpassing the 2033 of his previous life!
But again, the same sentence—no time!
After being reborn, he has never been idle.
Most of the time he is half dead from exhaustion, just to transcribe the existing technology onto computers and paper.
These technologies are urgently needed by the country.
For himself, however, it is a waste of time!
Clearly he can research and develop technologies that did not exist in his previous life, but he has to spend his time on these copy-paste tasks.
Actually.
He has thought about solving this contradiction.
But, he has always been afraid!
He is afraid that his existence, like a BUG, will be completely erased!
Until a few days ago, when he saw Academician Huang collapse from exhaustion, he finally made a decision at that moment.
Erase him if they want to erase him!
Academician Huang, for the sake of the country, has never cared about life and death?
As long as China can be strong, even if he is really erased...
He would be content!
Astonishingly!
On the computer screen, there are not the technologies of LNG ships or 055, but neurological related materials!
Ten minutes later.
The material printing ended.
He put the materials in his pocket and left the small courtyard, and by the way dialed Zhang Ling's number.
School starts the day after tomorrow, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible.
Walking out of the faculty and staff residential area.
Suddenly!
Just as he reached the school gate, his footsteps stopped, and he frowned.
