Chapter 1199: Sudden Arrival (First Update, Please Subscribe)
On October 10, Yongan Gold Exchange began selling gold.

The volume of gold sold reached 150 tons on the first day. Faced with such a sell-off, the international market naturally absorbed it directly. However, what international financial capital did not expect was that on the same day, central banks of more than a dozen countries around the world, including the United States, Southeast Asia, and the United Kingdom, were selling gold.

The original high momentum was immediately broken. In the following month and more, the price of gold continued to fall, and finally, on New Year's Eve, it slipped to the official price of US$35.2 per ounce. Some people cried and some laughed in this rush to buy gold, but no one jumped off the building. The biggest difference was that Nanyang's official gold reserves exceeded 3286 tons for the first time from 4000 tons, and the amount of gold reserves in the world was second only to the United States.

But in any case, after this "gold buying spree", Yongan Stock Exchange finally completed the connection with New York and London. Although there was no such thing as an "international financial center" in this era, as time goes by, it will inevitably become the world's third largest financial center.

This also means that Nanyang will become one of the international financial capital dealers.

Of course, not many people realized this at this time. They did not know that their lives and the future of Nanyang had already changed. After all, capital dominates the world, and whether people agree or not, they are more or less affected by capital.

Nanyang, as the international financial capital dealer, will inevitably change the way the world's financial capital flows, which will inevitably change the lives of many people.
For millions of ordinary Nanyang people, they just live their lives and do their jobs as usual.

Time flies. When the Olympic fever fades and the gold buying spree ends, the new year arrives.

Although it is New Year, there is not much New Year joy in Nanyang. The atmosphere is much worse than in previous years. There is even a hint of heaviness in the air.

This heavy atmosphere was caused by news reports from far away, which brought words such as famine, which were long-lost to the people of Nanyang, through various channels. Naturally, many people felt very heavy, and various donation activities were launched from the private sector to the official sector.

This New Year seems to be different from previous years.

However, no matter what, people still have to continue living and working.

Like many people, when passing by a relief donation point near the subway station, Shu Chuanbao stuffed a few dollars into the donation box and then entered the subway station. While taking the subway to his destination, he was still calculating something in his mind.

Although universities and research institutes have electronic computers, the habit developed over the years makes Shu Chuanbao do some calculations whenever he has time.

He took the subway and soon arrived at his destination. After walking out of the station for more than ten minutes, Shu Chuanbao entered the Naval Institute of Technology.

On the runway of the institute's airport, dozens of technicians were surrounding an airplane with a large disc on top, preparing something. If there were technicians from the American Northrop Grumman Corporation here, they would definitely be shocked - how did the E2 early warning aircraft they were developing get here?
This early warning aircraft is not the US E2, but the structures of the two are somewhat similar. Even the engine is the same model of Allison T56A turboprop engine - this engine is also used in the C130 transport aircraft. In order to simplify logistics, the same engine is used.

The only difference is that its fuselage was designed by Nanyang Aerospace Industries, but it is similar to the E2. Sometimes, aerodynamics is like this, and there are always some coincidences that happen inadvertently. This is not a case of one copying another, but an inevitable result of scientific research.

Standing next to the plane and looking at the large disc on the back of the plane, Shu Chuanbao, a well-known physicist in Southeast Asia, asked:
"How about it? Can I try flying today?"

The reason why he cares so much is not only because this Doppler radar embodies his hard work, but more importantly, he knows very well that Doppler radar can play an extremely important role in various fields, including meteorological satellites.

In fact, Shu Chuanbao originally developed the Doppler radar for meteorological satellite measurement. Although the detector he developed was launched into space through the "Federal Cooperation One" a few years ago and the "Shu Chuanbao Radiation Belt" was launched, he did not stop there, but began to study Doppler radar.

Just when Shu Chuanbao achieved certain results in his research, the military came knocking on his door. After the two sides communicated, he found that the military had gone further and their research results were more outstanding, so they started to cooperate.

The military studies Doppler radar for use in early warning aircraft. Without early warning aircraft, an aircraft carrier is almost like a blind person. Although there is less clutter on the sea, unlike the land which is filled with various complex terrains and clutter everywhere, it is impossible for carrier-based early warning aircraft to always stare at the sea.

In this situation, the military needs a more advanced early warning aircraft, which is a Doppler radar. It can be separated from clutter in the Doppler domain. This property can be used to design filters to eliminate clutter and give the signal a fresh world.

After several years of hard work, they finally made corresponding progress.

"There is no problem with the test flight..."

Wan Changqing smiled and said:
"Professor Shu, the key is still the radar. Last October, the Americans tested their new early warning aircraft. However, we understand that their aircraft still cannot handle ground clutter. According to our previous tests, our radar can effectively handle clutter, so in terms of performance, our aircraft is more advanced."

Although the test had been conducted using airborne radar before, everything was just paper data before the actual test. Soon, in people's expectation, the early warning aircraft with a large plate took off with a roar. Not long after the plane took off, the radar observer found the target - a fighter flying low over the sea.

"It's not the key now. The key is to wait until the plane reaches land and continue to track him."

Not long after Shu Chuanbao finished speaking, the simulated plane entered the airspace over the land, first at high altitude and then at low altitude, but the radar of the early warning aircraft was able to track it all the time. After receiving the position information from the air, there was jubilation on the ground. Although there were still some clutter, this radar was undoubtedly reliable and could filter out most of the ground clutter.

Soon, the news of the successful development of the early warning aircraft was reported to Li Yian. Facing this news, Li Yian did not seem too excited. Such a result was already within his expectations.

After all, he had provided certain technical guidance on the appearance of the Doppler radar, so it was natural that such progress could be made.

The presence of early warning aircraft equipped with Doppler radar means that Nanyang is fully ahead in radar technology. This technology can be fully applied in other fields, thereby improving Nanyang's military technology level.

"Well, the era of technological military has arrived."

The reason for this sigh is that Li Yian is very clear that in the next ten years, the improvement of combat effectiveness by military science and technology will be like two completely different eras. In that era, technology determines everything.

Just like the well-known Gulf War, although the impact that war brought to the world's military field was unprecedented, in fact the technological level of the Gulf War was probably at the level of the 1980s, and even a considerable part of the technology was at the level of the 1970s.

However, the comprehensive application of various new technologies has brought unprecedented impact to the world.

Now, this is just the beginning...

“What should be the next step?”

Flipping through the report in his hand, Li Yian wrote on the notebook without even looking up:
"Satellite positioning! Yes, this is it..."

In fact, as early as two years ago, Nanyang began to conduct research on satellite positioning. At the beginning, the research direction was the same as that of the American meridian system. Although theoretically, it can meet the needs of basic positioning, from the perspective of future development, it will eventually be replaced by GPS. Therefore, two years ago, Li Yian gave a new direction - using time measurement. In the star-to-earth coordinate system built by navigation satellites, each constellation has its own coordinate information. By measuring the distance between ourselves and the constellation, we can calculate our position in the coordinate system. Under the premise that the signal propagation speed is known, the more precise the time measurement, the more accurate the position solution.

This is the principle direction of GPS. Fundamentally speaking, the core of navigation is time measurement.”

In this kind of navigation satellite, the atomic clock is the "heart" of the navigation satellite. Although the atomic clock was invented more than a decade ago, it is not easy to send the atomic clock into space.

Therefore, until now, many research institutions in Nanyang have been conducting research in this area.

“Hopefully, we can make a breakthrough soon.”

While talking to himself, Li Yian simply wrote down a few research directions. These will eventually be sent to the King's Laboratory for research, and then cooperate with experts and scholars in related fields. In the past few years, through such cooperation, Nanyang's scientific and technological research and development has made great progress, and these advances are extremely amazing.

Just last month, Nanyang laid its first experimental optical fiber at Chang'an University.

Fiber optics, the Internet, GPS... Thinking about the progress that Nanyang has made in the field of technology in the past few years, Li Yian took out a cigar from the cigarette box with some pride, lit it and took a puff, then stood up and paced around the office while thinking:

"That's how it is. As long as we give them some directional guidance, their intelligence and wisdom will always bring us surprises, and such surprises will eventually change everything."

Just like this, Li Yian, standing by the window, gazed at the night sky outside the window. The sky was full of shining stars. At this moment, there must be countless people looking up at the starry sky!
While looking up at the starry sky, Li Yian thought of the stars in Nanyang. Those stars were bound to change the entire Nanyang, and even the entire world!
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and the person who walked in was Du Lunfei, the military liaison officer of the office. He first stood at attention and saluted, then said:
"Sir, something happened!"
