Chapter 582 The Next Challenge
The explosive development of science and technology has killed the high domestic housing prices.

At the same time, in the military field, country Z has also made progress that shocked the world.

This was vividly demonstrated at the military parade held in the imperial capital in October to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The fifth-generation stealth fighter jet roared past.

The new stealth bomber made its debut.

The huge fleet of drones is impressive.

In the ground phalanx, the new Type 20 main battle tank has a main gun with a caliber of 140mm and is also equipped with laser weapons.

For the first time, a manned mech army appeared that shocked everyone's attention.

A miniaturized high-power laser weapon that can be mounted on a medium-sized wheeled combat vehicle.

An intercontinental missile equipped with strategic nuclear weapons can be equipped with ten sub-warheads, with a limit range of 15000Km, and the warhead has the ability to maneuver and change orbit at the end.

In addition to the navy, in the whole year of 19, country Z launched two domestic aircraft carriers, with a full load displacement of 8 tons, nuclear power, equipped with electromagnetic catapults, terminal laser defense weapons, electromagnetic arresting cables and other devices, all electric propulsion... With the addition of the original two aircraft carriers, the total number of aircraft carriers owned by country Z has reached four.

There are also new nuclear submarines, large destroyers, and medium-sized frigates, which continue to be launched like dumplings.

The above-mentioned military equipment basically has two characteristics.

One, advanced, very advanced, absolutely world-class!
It can be said that there is no technological gap with the most advanced country M's army. On the contrary, in the field of military equipment such as laser weapons, mechs, and drones, country Z is clearly ahead.

Two, the changeover is fast, and the advanced equipment is all in the dumplings.

For example, the output of the fifth-generation stealth fighters in the past two years has exceeded 200.

Two large aircraft carriers are launched every two years.

The number of domestic large transport aircraft has exceeded 150, and the number is increasing by 70 per year.

According to this development speed, country Z's military strength will be comparable to country M's in at most ten years.

Become the second superpower on Earth!

only……

Country Z is about to overtake country M, and its comprehensive strength is comparable to or even surpassed by country M. Can country M accept it?

Can Western countries headed by country M tolerate it?

Will that catastrophic, nightmarish scene be allowed to become the grim reality before us?

will not.

of course not!

"Containment, we must do everything possible to contain country Z!"

"Let country Z continue to develop like this, we will not have a good life!"

"Country Z, quickly hand over the aliens who are cooperating with you, or we will impose sanctions on you!"

"Alien technology belongs to the whole world, country Z is not entitled to enjoy it alone!"

"Country Z, you are given three weeks to hand over the alien technology, or we will take action!"

Not bad!

There is also the secret of aliens in the technology tree network. Although country Z tried its best to hide it, it was accidentally revealed abroad under the betrayal of the scum of two nations.

In the face of overwhelming international accusations, Country Z strongly denies that there are no aliens and alien technology, but... Western countries have discovered some clues from the high-tech achievements of Country Z in the past two years. .

Then there is the crazy pressure.

Ask country Z to hand over alien technology.

Otherwise, sanctions and blockades will be imposed on country Z.

Especially after the National Day military parade in Country Z, the threatening voices of Western countries turned into actual actions.

For example, the import of goods from country Z is prohibited.

For example, third-party countries are prohibited from exporting oil, coal, non-ferrous metal ores and other resources to country Z.

In this way, country Z must be impoverished and trapped to death!
Of course, this method is a complete loss for both sides. Blocking country Z, these blocked countries will also lose the high-quality and cheap "made in country Z", and the quality of life of ordinary people will plummet.

But even if both sides suffer, they will make country Z surrender and hand over the alien technology!
However, the clamor and madness of these western countries lasted less than a week, and came to an abrupt end in front of a technology successfully developed by country Z.

Long-term controllable nuclear fusion power generation technology.

Also called "artificial sun".

This technology was first realized and applied in country Z, which is 20 years ahead of the most advanced international level.

After the successful construction of the "artificial sun", the energy problem that plagued country Z can be solved easily.

Because the fuel used to generate electricity for the "artificial sun" is heavy hydrogen extracted from seawater. The total reserves of these elements in the ocean are enough for human use for 1 million years, and they are quite cheap.

As long as a few more "artificial suns" are built, country Z no longer needs to import a drop of oil or a ton of coal from abroad.

The energy problem is solved, and the resource problem can also be extracted from the soil or low-grade ore through technical means... It's just that the energy consumption is a bit large.

Of course, Western countries say they are imposing a blockade on country Z, but it is impossible to block country Z all over the world. At least half of the countries are not in the ranks of blocking country Z.

From these countries, country Z can still obtain mineral resources.

After all, with the increase of country Z's economic influence over the years, the development of many countries cannot be separated from country Z.

Therefore, the blockade of Western countries is difficult to contain the effect of country Z.

In addition, the internal contradictions of Western countries are full of conflicts, and it is difficult to unite as one. Once they suffer certain losses, they will immediately change their previous positions.

It is easy to be broken individually.

Therefore, the so-called blockade, which lasted less than a month after the successful development of the "artificial sun" in country Z, was declared a failure and canceled one after another.

Lockdown containment strategy not working!

How to do?
In the end how to do?
How can we contain country Z?
The top executives of country M are in a state of desperation, and have lost a lot of hair. They discuss countermeasures with their staff every day.

Looking at the red spots on the map of country Z, the eyes of the President of the United States are also red.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Country Z, you forced me, you forced you!"

The President of the United States has made up his mind!
Since country Z cannot be contained by all methods, we can only use the last resort!
military!

Facing the country M that is about to go crazy, the next country Z will face even more severe challenges.

The following content will definitely lead to harmony.

So the angle of view is still turned back to Zhou Ming.

what is he doing these days
Mainly two things.

One is to deal with the affairs of "Chuangshen Technology" and see the progress of the "Life Extension" research project.

In fact, no matter how many types of cancer-treating drugs developed by the company "Chuangshen Technology" or how many terminal illnesses with a 100% mortality rate have been eliminated, what Zhou Ming is most concerned about is the progress of the "life extension" project.

Not only did he invest the most money and talents in this area, but 80% of the nano-robot medicine he produced through the [-]-level material printer was consumed in the "life extension" project.

And achieved remarkable results.

Through experiments on mice, the life-prolonging medicine developed by "Chuangshen Technology" has extended the lifespan of many old mice to 1000 days and maintained their health and vitality.

Just because the life extension experiment of mice is successful, it doesn't mean that the human life extension experiment will be successful.

The human body is far more complex than mice, and conducting human experiments will be subject to many legal and ethical restrictions...even if 99.9% safety can be guaranteed.

Therefore, after the success of the mouse experiment, the next step, the researchers will conduct life extension experiments on pigs, monkeys, orangutans and other animals.

This will probably take about 3 to 5 years.

If it is also successful, human clinical trials can only be carried out after obtaining the approval of relevant government departments.

This will take several years, and more than ten years, decades of follow-up observation.

In short, following normal research and development procedures, it will take at least 10 years for the research results of the "Life Extension" project to be applied in practice.

However, Zhou Ming hopes that in about 5 years, he can produce some major results. 10 years is too long, he is still young, and he can wait, but he has parents, and he hopes that they can use them.

The other is the "Super God's Brain" project, this project, "Chuangshen Technology" is also under research, but Zhou Ming has not invested much resources, and the priority is ranked under the "Life Extension" project, and for the production of results, Not particularly urgent.

The reason why it is not urgent is not that Zhou Ming does not need a "super god brain", but that he has found a better way to allow himself to have a "super god brain".

Practice.

Carry out cultivation in the field of laws opened up by the system.

As long as the cultivation base is higher, the development of his brain will be higher.

The more flexible the brain, the faster the calculation speed.

If his cultivation has reached the holy stage, his brain will also enter the super god realm.

Compared with the improvement through drugs, this kind of improvement has better effect and fewer side effects.

Just like the performance of a computer, if the CPU configuration is too high, but the power supply, motherboard, memory, hard disk and other configurations are relatively backward, the performance of the CPU will not be fully utilized.

It even brings some negative effects, such as heat dissipation problems and so on.

Only when all the hardware is comprehensively upgraded can the performance of the CPU be brought into play.

Just having a "super god" brain is absolutely not enough.

So from this point of view, the strength of a biological individual, embarking on the road of cultivation, is far stronger than the improvement of technology.

Therefore, Zhou Ming has been studying and practicing for the past two months.

And under the "experience sharing" mode provided by the system, the foundation building was successfully completed, breaking through to the middle stage of gas refining.

To be honest, Zhou Ming is not particularly satisfied with this cultivation speed, it feels a bit too slow.

But the system said that his real body has mediocre aptitude and is relatively old. He has missed the golden period of cultivation, and it is impossible for him to grow rapidly like Bai Feiyang.

Zhou Ming shook his head at this, the reality is not a dungeon, can he still choose a body with natural talent?

Fortunately, in reality, his aptitude is not useless, and his lifespan will not become a limit. At least breaking through to the hard core stage, there is no big problem.

The system also told Zhou Ming that the next dungeon does not require too much qualifications, as long as he is smart enough and with the assistance of the system, becoming a so-called "God of Law" will not be too difficult.

"Not weaker than the most powerful benchmark of the spiritual saint level powerhouse in "Lingyuan Continent"-Fa Shen?"

Hearing the system's words, Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

A strong interest was generated.

　Tomorrow, I will start to conceive a new dungeon plot with all my strength
