Spark

I really didn't expect you to have such a hand.

In the apartment outside the campus of Xigong University, Chen Nian and Chen Guo were sitting opposite each other, each holding a glass of rich-flavored glutinous rice liqueur, and on the table in front of them were a few ordinary but hearty home-cooked dishes.

The first flight of the J-22 was originally a huge happy event, but the completion of the first flight does not mean that everyone's work is over. Even Chen Guo was temporarily transferred to 601 to assist in data analysis, and did not return until today. .

It was not until today that he finally took the time to invite Chen Nian, the biggest hero, to have a meal on behalf of the 601 Institute, or all the aviation people.

And at the dinner table, Chen Guo told Chen Nian the many plans after the first flight, including the infiltration of Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

The latter was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the impression of the black heart of the rabbit in his heart deepened.

Seeing Chen Nian's emotional expression, Chen Guo smiled calmly and replied:

What is this? If you want to hear it, I will ask Lao Xu from the Intelligence Department to tell you another day. He can tell this kind of story for three days and three nights without stopping.

Forget it, I don't have that time.

Chen Nian waved his hand quickly, indicating that he was not interested.

——

Of course, it’s not that he’s completely uninterested, it’s just that he has a heavy learning task, and he has to find time to study the technology tree of digital array radar technology with the advisory group, so he really doesn’t have time to listen to other people talking about it.

He took a sip of the wine and didn't speak any more, but Chen Guo seemed to have thought of something suddenly and asked:

Theoretically speaking, the test flight of Canglong 01 will have a major impact on the entire international environment. If our opponents use this as a reason to attack us, we will face a very difficult situation.

I think you should be very clear about this point - I remember you once discussed with the advisory group to be alert to the other party's restrictions and sanctions on scarce resources and monopoly technologies.

However, I don't want to understand why you didn't show any objection after hearing the plan of the intelligence group's large-scale publicity?

You don't seem like the kind of person who cares about big things. You also have a say on this issue, but you didn't say anything in the end.

This makes me feel very strange, as if you already knew the result—where did your confidence come from?

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment.

In fact, this was indeed what Chen Nian was most worried about.

As a time traveler, he knew very well what kind of nasty things the other side had done more than ten years later.

Whether it is economic or technological blockade, even after 20 years, it will be difficult for us to survive, let alone in 2004 when the economy was not yet developed and money was scarce everywhere.

If at this time, the other side of the ocean takes action on the grounds of technology leakage, it is hard to say whether we can effectively deal with it.

From the current point of view, the safest way to deal with it is nothing more than to hide this J-22 and behave in a low-key manner, and make it public when the time is right.

This is obviously the idea of ​​many people in the decision-making level, but in the end, this idea has not been implemented.

The reason is not confidence or precognition that can see the results, but only one sentence:

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian organized his language a little bit, and then said:

First of all, I definitely believe in our comrades. Since they say they want to make it public, they must have a reason to make it public.

Secondly, when it comes to the issue of confidence

Professor Chen, it's actually not difficult to answer this question. Let me ask you first, when do you think the confrontation in this world happened?

Chen Guo on the opposite side frowned slightly, and then replied:

I'm not a sociologist, so I might be wrong, but... since it's a 'confrontation', it probably happened when two opposing opponents were of similar strength?

Chen Nian shook his head and said:

If we are talking about two separate individuals, then as you said, the high probability of confrontation will occur when the strength of the two sides is similar, or when they are about to approach.

To sum it up in one sentence, if the strong weaken, or the weak grow, then confrontation will inevitably occur.

But the problem is, now we're talking about two populations, and populations are made up of thousands of individuals.

Every group composed of individuals is full of randomness, and with the blessing of modern technology, this randomness is further amplified.

Maybe one day, this randomness will be condensed into some kind of 'luck', and it will continue to accumulate, eventually driving the explosive development of a group's strength.

That's where the technology explosion comes from.

Throughout the history of the world, the reason why most powerful countries become powerful countries is to rely on one or several technological explosions, and the same is true for our opponents.

Then that is to say, their understanding of this theory is much deeper than ours.

After all, they just experienced something like this.

So, what's the final conclusion?

Chen Guo listened carefully to Chen Nian's words, and after thinking for a moment, replied:

The conclusion is that any country with potential may surpass them at any unpredictable point in time.

When they see that we have the potential to surpass them, they will do whatever it takes to prevent our rise—but what does that have to do with what we're discussing?

If this is the case, shouldn't we keep a low profile and hide our strength?

Chen Guo looked puzzled. He is an excellent aerodynamicist, but in terms of sociology, he is indeed inferior to Chen Nian, who has been a man for two lifetimes.

Seeing his expression, Chen Nian smiled, did not answer directly, but said:

Yes, if we are a small country starting from scratch, if we have only 300 years of history like them, it is indeed an excellent strategy to hide our strength and hide our strength.

But the thing is, we're not.

We are one country, but we are also one civilization.

We are a civilization that completed the great unification two thousand years ago. After several times of disintegration, we still stubbornly stand up again in the end.

I don't know if you've heard that passage.

Four thousand years ago, we wrote hieroglyphs alongside the Egyptians.

Three thousand years ago, we made bronze together with the Sumerians.

Two thousand years ago, like the Romans, we fought and expanded our territories.

A thousand years ago, we were as rich and splendid as the Arabs.

Now, we are competing with the most powerful country in the world.

We have been sitting on the poker table of the earth for five thousand years, and the poker players we have played with have changed countless times, but we are the only ones who have always stood firm.

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask:

If you were them, what would you think when facing such an opponent?

How would you judge the 'possibility of transcendence', and how would you presuppose the 'time point of transcendence'?

Hearing this, Chen Guo's expression suddenly became serious.

He understood the deep meaning of Chen Nian's words.

And this profound meaning made his voice tremble a little.

He took a deep breath and said:

So. For us, the so-called 'possible' is actually inevitable, and the so-called 'time point' is not a certain period of time, but every moment.

We're always getting closer to them, and we're constantly overtaking those who join in the middle. Historically, no matter how strong they are, they will eventually be left behind by us.

Many of us may not even realize it, but our opponents do.

In other words... from the moment this opponent joins, our confrontation has already begun.

From the moment the Mayflower stopped in America, the struggle between the two sides has actually written the first stroke.

Confrontation is inevitable. Whether it's you or the decision-makers above, they all want to win opportunities for us as much as possible before the final conflict breaks out, and winning opportunities always requires risks.

That's why you're so calm, because you know there's no room for us

That's right, that's it.

Chen Nian nodded with a smile, not nervous at all.

On the other hand, Chen Guo on the opposite side looked solemn, and after a long time, he sighed and said:

That's a really interesting theory.

According to this theory, we are really enemies in the world.

Hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head slightly and said:

I prefer to call ourselves the master of the ring. The master of this world.

It sounds dangerous, but luckily we're always the ones standing.

Chen Guo nodded solemnly, and after a while, he laughed again.

So our job is not actually to guard the lei, but to man-made weapons for the lei, right?

of course.

Chen Nian also laughed.

Okay, now that Canglong 01 has come out, we've got some stuff, but it's definitely not enough—how, what's your plan?

A simple plan.

Chen Nian replied calmly.

Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian curiously, wanting to know whether the so-called simple plan he said was simple or not.

tell me the story?

Actually, there is nothing to say. The nearest goal is to build an aircraft carrier.

In the process of building an aircraft carrier, we need more aircraft, a stronger fleet, and an army with more firepower.

Similarly, we need more advanced civilian technology. Only in this way can the economy develop and we have the money to fly kites and make dumplings.

I believe that one day we will have more money and resources than we can spend.

At that time, the fourth-generation aircraft we have will not be just one, but hundreds or thousands.

Think about that scene probably

Fly three million jade dragons, stirring up Zhou Tianhan!
