God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 430 Doing Research Alone

Countries such as Britain, France and Germany are indifferent to this.

Although the Soviet Union has collapsed for more than ten years and Europe no longer needs the protection of the United States, there are still conflicts of interest between the two sides from time to time, which makes the relationship between the two gradually drift away.

The main energy of the European side is still committed to the unification of Europe.

From the implementation of the euro, it is enough to see.

As for becoming the center of civilization in the world again, Europe has neither the ambition nor the strength.

Of course, don’t think that Maozi is a good stubble. They still dream of being able to get along with the West in a friendly way, but the other side is simply unwilling to accept that’s all.

In addition, the economic structure of Mauritius is too single, mainly relying on the export of oil, natural gas and other natural resources. The problem with this economic model is that when the price of oil falls, the Mauritian economy will suffer.

However, we are not so optimistic.

The number of our nuclear fission weapons is less than one-tenth of that of the opponent.

Moreover, it has been repeatedly confirmed by the intelligence department that the other party already has space anti-missile capabilities, but it has not yet been deployed.

Then, once their space laser system is deployed, we will become very passive, and they will only be more unscrupulous and do whatever they want.

To this end, the final assembly is determined to adopt a three-pronged approach to deal with future uncertainties:
[-]. Strengthen the penetration capability of ballistic missiles.

Second, start research and development of anti-satellite means, and speed up the research and development process of ground laser weapons.

[-]. Deploy our anti-missile laser satellite network.

The final assembly is a near-Earth space laser system, and an ambitious plan is proposed: use dozens of giant laser satellites as the center to form a space anti-missile system.

Next to the anti-missile satellite, arrange three to four escort satellites, using laser or kinetic energy weapons to protect the anti-missile satellite from being destroyed by the enemy.

The plan was very good and very feasible, but it was rejected as soon as it was reported.

The reason is simple: no money!

The total value of the Western anti-missile satellite system is close to 1000 billion U.S. dollars, although our domestically-made rockets have lower launch costs, which are half lower than those of the other side.

But if you want to build a usable space satellite system, the initial budget will be as high as 500 billion U.S. dollars!
With so much money, if you want to take it, you can even grit your teeth.

But it is impossible for us to waste our main finances on this.

We are currently at a critical moment from weak to strong, and there are too many places that need to be invested. Take various infrastructure and highways as examples, they cannot be delayed, nor can they save money!

Therefore, we dare not and cannot spend a large amount of money on research and development of space-based weapons that are obviously not important at this stage.

Everyone is very clear-headed, relying on more advanced and quieter ocean-going nuclear submarines can counter it.

The space-based laser weapon system is a costly and lengthy systematic project.

It's hard to do it overnight.

This point is also very clear to the other party.

The reason why they still insist on building a space-based weapon system is probably not only to deal with ground ballistic missiles, but also to seize space opportunities and dominate space.

In a peaceful age without competition, they can use decades to gradually make space weapons practical, cheap, mass-produced, and more and more advanced.

When other countries start marching into space, they can use their powerful high-tech and large-scale production capabilities to ensure that they can quickly deploy and seize the commanding heights in space competition.

In terms of quantity and quality, it completely overwhelms the opponent.

Then, without haste, it will engage in a space race with any other country, maintain its space supremacy, and form an absolute advantage.

Or, like the "Star Wars" project, use the space arms race to drag each other into the quagmire.

At present, at least in the next ten years, we do not have the ability to compete with each other in space.

But when we have the economic strength and technological strength to compete with each other, the space is probably already full of their space weapon platforms!

The general assembly also understands that this is reality.

However, no matter what, they cannot acquiesce in the occurrence of this reality!

Because, if the opponent has a space-based weapon platform, it will become extremely powerful, so powerful that it is frightening!

By that time, not to mention our land missile systems, even our ocean-going nuclear submarines will be like toothless tigers, completely losing their deterrent power.

As long as the ballistic missile probes and breaks through the atmosphere, it will be intercepted by other people's space-based satellite systems.

As long as the rocket used to launch satellites takes off, it will be locked by space-based laser weapons and explode in the air.

This is like during World War II, when a country with air superiority ensured victory in the war.

In the next few decades, a country with space superiority will own the whole world.

If this barrier is not broken, everyone in the world can only tremble in front of their bayonets.

This is why today, apart from the experts from the Science and Industry Commission, there is also a general assembly representative.

Yesterday, when Director Gu reported to the superior, those in the final assembly immediately put down all the work at hand and met urgently for a meeting.

The leaders of the final assembly agreed that if Infinity Corporation's aerospace plane plan had even a slight chance of being realized, they must go all out and use the greatest strength to fully support this plan.

As long as the aerospace plane is successfully developed, we will immediately be on an equal footing with the other party in terms of space utilization.

Moreover, the sooner the aerospace plane is successfully developed, the greater our advantage will be.

If the aerospace plane can be developed within ten years, then this position will be reversed, and we will become an unrivaled space powerhouse, leading the fifth industrial revolution!
It includes many things and can be laid out calmly.

However, the result disappointed them.

Infinity Corporation does have a plan to develop aerospace aircraft, and is also making technological accumulation and efforts in this area, but their plan is obviously too advanced and lacks the possibility of realization.

Although Director Gu and the representative of the final assembly are not very familiar with some technologies, they only need to use their brains a little bit to understand that the plan of Infinity Company is still in the very early research stage.

In order to reduce the weight of the aerospace plane and increase its carrying capacity, they actually planned to use only ten chips to process all the data.

Just this idea is completely divorced from reality.

Modern ordinary fighter jets, such as the J-1028, also need [-] chips to assist in processing complex data.

The processors on the space shuttle are in the tens of thousands.

Ten chips want to replace so many processors. What kind of chip is so powerful?
Although it is admitted that Infinity's chip technology is already one of the best in the world, Intel can't do that.

As for the engine unit, it made those specially invited experts laugh out loud.

The combined engine has a bold design, and the variable geometry is very novel, but its requirements for materials and processing technology will also be more stringent.

The report meeting was short of time, and everyone had no time to make accurate judgments.

But according to the results calculated by those experts using laptop computers, none of the existing materials can withstand such high pressure and ultra-high flame temperature.

The experts who came to participate in the report gave an attributive term to Infinity's plan: paper airplanes.

That is: this is an aerospace plane that stays on paper.

Many experts even insinuated that Infinity Co., Ltd. deserves to be started in finance. Do they want to take advantage of the hot capital market to come up with a concept and put it in the stock market for speculation.

This space plane plan can be used to deceive those ignorant shareholders.

Director Gu and the representatives of the general assembly were very disappointed, very very disappointed, but they could not put this disappointment on their faces, and tried their best to comfort Chen Weidong, hoping that Infinity Company could open a skylight for private technology, continue research, and don't give up this project.

One more infinite company to research and develop, there will always be an extra layer of protection!

Although the expert group is not optimistic about the design of Infinity, at least one more research and development institution is engaged in the development of aerospace aircraft, and there is one more hope outside the national aerospace aircraft project team.

Who dares to say that after more than ten years, with the progress of basic research and the availability of new materials, Infinity will not be able to come up with a practical aerospace plane?
Among other things, at least in terms of design ideas, there are still many experts who say that the idea of ​​Infinity Company is indeed very innovative.

Besides, the country does not need to pay a penny for the research and development of Infinity Corporation.

If it fails, the country does not have to bear any losses.

On the contrary, if the plan is successful, the country can still enjoy the benefits. Why not do such a good thing?

After all, with the capital of Infinity Corporation, if you really want to set your heart on a project, it must be much more generous than the Ministry of Finance's allocation.

Both of them knew this very well, but neither of them said anything tacitly. They just comforted Chen Weidong and hoped that he would cheer up and not be intimidated by difficulties.

At the dinner table, Director Gu and the representative of the final assembly were the ones who talked the most.

Seeing that Chen Weidong gradually returned to normal, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After three or two clicks, they stopped talking about this topic and chatted about various anecdotes, with the purpose of letting Chen Weidong stop worrying about this matter.

The three of them chatted and drank a lot of wine, and they ate until three or four in the afternoon before they stopped enjoying themselves.

Before saying goodbye, Director Gu repeatedly invited Chen Weidong to visit the ground-to-air and air-to-sea joint simulation exercises to be held next week.

He also threatened that if he didn't go, he would lose face and so on.

Of course Chen Weidong knew that they did this to keep themselves from being depressed and give up the space plane program.

He also made a very reluctant look, and agreed to Director Gu's invitation.

Looking at the two people's car slowly driving out of the gate of Infinity Company, Chen Weidong lowered his head and smiled, and restored his usual sinking expression, and slowly walked into the office center building.
