Great Power Technology.

Chapter 418 A high-level strategy proposed by an opponent not to be underestimated
Compared with South Island's quick response in public opinion, Ugly Country's reaction to this test run of the nuclear-powered engine was much more flat --- after all, what they said was what their ancestors had once been rich.

In the eyes of most ugly people, Huaxia's nuclear-powered engine is nothing more than a toy left over from their play. Even if there is a great improvement, even if the thrust reaches 120 tons, so what?

Potential nuclear pollution will always be a red line that cannot be crossed. If Huaxia insists on flying the Golden Crow, the international community will probably regard it as a nuclear declaration of war.

And the declaration of war against all countries in the world, even if it is the current Huaxia, or even Huaxia and Maoxiong, it is impossible to retreat completely.

Therefore, whether it is ordinary people or high-level officials, they all hold the mentality of watching the test drive, and the public opinion departments that have been active have not participated in it, because they know very well that in the face of RSA decryption technology, all of them based on "sudden "Sex" will become a complete joke.

However, this does not mean that everyone's point of view is the same. Among the high-level, some people and organizations still expressed concerns about this engine, the most typical of which is the so-called "wartime strategic command" Hope profit organization.

At this time, Berkeley National Laboratory, Healy Organization headquarters.

Aldo was gathering in the conference room with the senior staff of the title organization. They had just finished discussing the latest progress of the AQT project, and what was going on at this time was an informal topic about nuclear power engines.

". Judging from the data released by the other party, apart from the upgrade of the nuclear reactor core and the three-rotor structure of the engine, this engine is actually not much different from the HTRE-36 engine on our previous NB-3H. "

"Whether it is in principle, technical details or the use of materials, it can basically be said to be highly synchronized with us."

"If necessary, we can actually restart the ANP project. According to our current technical strength, our finished product will not necessarily be inferior to theirs."

The so-called ANP project is the "Aircraft Nuclear Power Propulsion Project". This is an extremely crazy research launched by the ugly country in 1946, and the result of the project is the NB-36H aircraft.

This engine adopted a direct air intake design at that time, the air intake was directly connected to the core of the nuclear reactor, the air was directly heated in the reactor, and then discharged from the nozzle of the turbofan engine, the whole engine was like a flying nuclear radiation Sprinklers, as long as the airspace they fly over, are all filled with radiation pollution dust.

But it was such a result. At that time, Ugly Country also conducted dozens of air test runs, and it was not until the 60s that the project was finally terminated.

This project has brought a huge technological accumulation to the Ugly Country. Even if the old Xiong behind has come up with the Figure 119 that can run stably, it is still not enough for the NB-36H.

One is a turbofan engine and the other is a turboprop engine. The expandable prospects of the two are not even an order of magnitude.

After hearing the professional's introduction, Aldo nodded slightly, and then asked:
"Sly, from your point of view, is it necessary for us to restart such an engine program?"

The man named Sly thought for a moment, then replied:
"I don't think it's necessary, for three main reasons."

"The first point is the issue of nuclear radiation pollution that we have discussed before. This issue cannot be circumvented, and it is extremely difficult to be resolved. As long as it cannot be resolved, it is absolutely impossible for the international community to allow such a plane to take to the sky."

"Secondly, the current development of intercontinental missile technology is extremely mature, and the extra deterrent effect of ultra-long-range, long-endurance bombers has been greatly reduced. It is not worth paying such a cost."

"The third point is that the other party has established a project before us and has achieved results. If we follow them in a symmetrical competition, we are likely to fall into a situation where we continue to lag behind. This is extremely detrimental to us."

"Their Jinwu engine is the aircraft carrier of the new air age. As long as there is one, the advantage is overwhelming. Aldo, think about it, when we use aircraft carriers to rule the sea, they did not immediately develop aircraft carriers symmetrically. Instead, we did missiles and submarines first, and this asymmetric strategy is exactly what we need now."

After listening to his words, Aldo frowned, and rudely pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray in front of him, and then continued to ask:
"Of the three questions you mentioned, I think only the third is credible."

"The problem of pollution is nothing more than a problem of public opinion. When they ignored our opposition to develop nuclear weapons, it was regarded as a declaration of war. But in the end? Did we stop them? No?"

"Let's not talk about them, we haven't even been able to solve the nuclear issue in the northern peninsula. The reality is that as long as they want to fly, no one can stop them."

"The second question is that intercontinental nuclear missiles are the ultimate deterrent, and long-range bombers are the secondary deterrent. It is impossible for us to threaten others to drop nuclear bombs on their homes, but our B2 does often fly over their airspace—— —The Golden Crow plays this kind of role, and it’s a strengthened one.”

"Only the third point, I think is realistic."

"We are already behind, we can't catch up, but we have to find a way to overtake in a corner - just like what we are doing now in the quantum field."

After a pause, he continued to ask:
"So, do you have an asymmetric strategy for it?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the meeting room fell into silence.

In fact, when the Nantianmen project was announced, the ugly country did formulate a series of symmetrical and asymmetrical competition plans for this project. The Lympus Project, but there has been a shortage of funds, and this project has only a name from the beginning to the end.

Theoretical research has almost stagnated after the collapse of the "Navigator" project. No application development has been done, and public opinion propaganda is almost nothing. It can be said to be a fantasy.

".We can set up a project to discuss after the meeting. In fact, space-based laser weapons are a good way of restraint, but the other party has done it before us."

"If you say that, Starlink is a better way, isn't it beaten to the brink of death? We should now abandon the conventional thinking in our minds and think about how to make breakthroughs and groundbreaking plan."

Aldo interrupted the other party's speech unceremoniously. He was really tired of hearing the argument that "the other party has already taken advantage".

Don't you know this yet?Does this need to be reminded repeatedly by others?
It's a joke.

Seeing Aldo's disdainful expression, Sly gritted his teeth and said:
"If we want to use this idea, then we might as well reverse it directly from a distance. Regardless of the feasibility of technology, funds and resources, and other factors, we can directly discuss how to prevent the other party's aircraft from entering the airspace. "

"Any idea is welcome—even if it's science fiction."

Hearing this, Aldo finally nodded in satisfaction.

This is the attitude that scientists in this country should have. After all, they are now in the national laboratory that has mastered the most cutting-edge achievements on this planet. If they still stick to the technology that has been realized, what is the point? Woolen cloth?

Ever since, in the following time, a wild and unconstrained discussion gradually became heated.

In this discussion, one technology after another, even sci-fi directions, were proposed, including force field shields, anti-gravity engines, anti-matter minefields, space weapons, helium flash weapons, reverse radiation conversion effects, and so on.

Even with the most advanced technical perspective of this laboratory, most of the technologies are unrealizable in the short term.

However, from these unrealizable technologies, they did extract corresponding degradation solutions.

For example, the Barsad ramjet corresponding to the anti-gravity engine, the standing high-altitude dense radar network corresponding to the anti-matter minefield, and the high-energy particle flow weapon corresponding to the helium flash weapon
These weapons generally still have huge technical difficulties, but at least they all conform to the underlying scientific logic of human beings at this stage.

That said, there's a good chance that at some point in the future, they'll come to fruition if they're developed at any cost.

Aldo is very satisfied with this result, and what he wants is not a result that can be implemented immediately, but a relatively credible direction.

As for issues such as "whether it will be too sci-fi" and "whether the feasibility is high" that other people are generally worried about, he has never considered it at all.

Isn't the B2 bomber that appeared decades ago not science fiction?

However, against the backdrop of that intense confrontation, his own country still achieved that kind of breakthrough.

For him, the current situation is just another history repeating itself.

This is a huge challenge, but also a huge opportunity. As long as you grasp this opportunity well, your country will once again return to the pinnacle of the world after going through a difficult time.

However, what one's own side needs to do now is to delay the other party as much as possible.

Thinking of this, he said:
"Everyone, you just came up with many genius ideas. You see, I have recorded these ideas one by one."

"One day in the future, we will implement them one by one."

"However, for us now, it will take some time."

"So, we have to do something that looks stupid, but is bound to work."

"For example, we have to find a way to support the South Island in some aspects so that they can delay it a little longer."

Before he finished speaking, a participant with a military rank comparable to him raised his hand and interrupted:
"But we have agreed not to get involved in this matter, if we regret it"

Aldo smiled and replied:

"I didn't say we should do it ourselves."
