The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Guo Zaijie hesitated for a moment and said, "It's too difficult. Even if it's just a nuclear fusion reactor, we don't know when it will be realized."

"Other power systems are basically unable to propel such a huge aerospace carrier."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled faintly and said, "Leader, please be more open-minded!"

"We have made many impossible things possible!"

"For example, in just a few years, we already have 12 aircraft carriers, far more than Jusa."

"Our navy is already cruising around the world."

"Our space station is already in use."

"Our large unmanned aircraft can already fly around the world."

Our satellites can already monitor the entire world.

"I hope to make the Nantianmen Project a reality in my lifetime!"

"Next, I will focus my main energy on studying nuclear fusion. Of course, by the way, I will also study variable cycle engines and large force field drive arrays."

Actually, this large force field drive array sounds very impressive, but in fact, its principle is the mutual induction of magnetic fields.

This large force field drive array installed on the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier, once activated, can sense the earth's magnetic field. Like charges repel each other, and thus there is a force field drive. Then, it becomes very easy for the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier to hover in the air, and it does not require too much energy at all.

As for the variable cycle engine, this is easier to build.

In fact, Zhang Zhipeng had already built a variable cycle engine.

He just needs to improve and enhance on the basis of the previous one.

After all, nuclear fusion is still quite difficult at present.

Guo Zaijie smiled and nodded, saying, "If you want to do this, I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

"Tell me, what are you going to do about this?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It's very simple. I just need to announce this plan in the name of the country!"

"See if Jusa follows!"

"Of course, whether he follows up or not, we will do our best to conduct research."

Guo Zaijie hesitated for a moment.

Release this Nantianmen plan in the name of the country?
Is this suitable?

I'm afraid this matter is really not something he can decide.

Because, after all, if it is released in the name of the country, it becomes a national plan!
Then we must follow up with all our strength in the future!

Guo Zaijie said: "How about I go ask the senior leader?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Let's go together. I want to explain our plan to him. I believe he will fully support it."

Guo Zaijie nodded and said, "Okay! It might be easier to explain with you."

Zhang Zhipeng and Guo Zaijie went to meet the leader together.

The leader was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Zhipeng.

He grabbed Zhang Zhipeng's hand and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, you haven't come to see me for a long time!"

"But I know you're busy!"

"You've really made us proud recently!"

"The space station was completed ahead of schedule, which means we have surpassed Jusa."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I have actually wanted to come and see you for a long time."

"This time, I have brought you another exciting plan. I hope you can support it."

The leader asked with a smile: "What is the plan? Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us directly."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Yes! A grand space program!"

Zhang Zhipeng then repeated his idea.

The leader was obviously also very interested in what Zhang Zhipeng said.

He nodded repeatedly as he listened, but did not interrupt Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng finished talking about his idea.

Then he said: "Leader, what do you think of my plan?"

The leader clapped his hands and said, "Great ambition!"

"If this is accomplished, we will be able to achieve a truly overwhelming military advantage!"

"But can this really be done?"

"How long do you think it will take to see any results?"

“How much does it cost?”

Zhang Zhipeng said: "The estimated investment is more than 100 billion yuan."

“It’s hard to say when there will be results.”

“It depends on whether key technologies can be broken through as soon as possible.”

The leader smiled and said, "Well! One hundred billion is not a lot. We can afford it."

"I support your plan!"

Zhang Zhipeng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, leader!"

The leader said: "Just do it boldly!"

"As long as we can really make it, 1 billion is not enough, we can always add more!"

"I think the most difficult one should be nuclear fusion, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yes, the most difficult part is indeed nuclear fusion."

"Controlled nuclear fusion is more difficult to achieve."

"But I think if we push forward according to the principle of the sun, there might be unexpected breakthroughs."

In fact, all stars, including the sun, are burning based on the principle of nuclear fusion and then emitting scorching light and heat.

The leader nodded and said, "I am a layman in this area, so you should study it carefully."

"If you need anything, you can ask all the units across the country to cooperate with you."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "I hope to make our plan public."

“Let the whole world know.”

"The purpose is to make Yusa anxious and attract them to follow up!"

The leader said, “Just do it as you think.”

"It's time for us to show our talents!"

"We love peace and hope for peace, but we must eliminate all factors that may hinder peace!"

……

After talking with his leader, Zhang Zhipeng discussed the matter with Chen Kainan again.

The Nantianmen Project will be released through the aerospace department.

This will be a grand space development plan.

Of course, it is a plan in the aerospace field.

After Chen Kainan learned about the Nantianmen Project, he felt that it was extremely difficult and that there would basically be no hope of achieving results in the short term.

However, it is okay to announce it and fool Yusa.

Therefore, a press conference was held in the name of China Aerospace.

The press conference was held in the Grand Conference Hall of the National Guest House.

Reporters from all major domestic and foreign media were invited to attend the press conference.

The theme of the launch stated in the invitation letter is: Nantianmen Space Development Plan.

New York Times reporter Collins also received an invitation.

Collins is considered a veteran journalist stationed in China.

He has stayed in China for 8 years.

I have interviewed many major events in the past.

Of course, the articles he wrote were basically full of weird distortions.

However, in the past year or two, Collins has become increasingly frustrated and discouraged.

Because he found that he was unable to stop China from continuing to advance rapidly.

The impact of those rubbish articles he wrote is almost zero.

In fact, in the age of the Internet, traditional media have become increasingly bleak.

Even the New York Times is having trouble escaping the crisis.

They also once wanted to be reborn by embracing the Internet.

However, their online version has hardly any popularity.

Because, just through Twitter, people can browse the latest and fastest news events more quickly.

Moreover, there are many bloggers on Twitter who write in-depth articles, and the analytical perspectives they provide are no worse than those of New York Times columnists.

This has led to the irreversible decline of the New York Times, which is also the main reason why Collins is becoming more and more depressed.

The New York Times's performance has been getting worse and worse.

At this time, Collins' income will naturally decline.

Moreover, the speed of decline is quite fast.

As income became less and less, the sense of superiority gradually disappeared completely.

Collins has become much more restrained in China now.

On this day, he received an invitation to attend an important press conference held in China, so Collins naturally had to rush there.

When he arrived in front of the building where the press conference was held at the State Guesthouse, Collins met Bild's China correspondent Gerandt again.

Geraint is also a veteran journalist stationed in China.

Bild has had an increasingly difficult time in recent years.

The number of subscribers has been lost and advertising revenue has dropped sharply.

They can no longer call the shots and control traffic in the Internet age.

Therefore, it is inevitable that life will be difficult.

"Mr. Collins, I heard that this Nan Tianmen Project is very powerful and it aims to build a starship fleet," said Gerald.

Collins shrugged and said, "I guess they are committing fraud again?"

“I don’t think we need to believe this.”

Gerald said solemnly: "We can't help but believe it."

"Mr. Collins, they are steadily developing and strengthening themselves step by step."

"Everything they said in the past has basically come true."

"But this time, I'm convinced they were bragging," Collins said.

"They are trying to disrupt our development rhythm and ultimately defeat us."

"So, we have to be vigilant."

Geraint curled his lips.

I felt a little disdainful of Collins' words.

He thought to himself, you have actually become a pauper!

Your global influence is already fading.

Are you still feeling good about yourself?

Yusa's own strength declined greatly, so the dog chain in his hand naturally became much looser.

Their intimidation and dominance over the dogs they previously controlled is declining.

They even no longer have any dog ​​food money to distribute to news organizations like photo agencies.

Geraint's current position is naturally different from Collins'.

Geraint said nothing more to Collins and walked into the building.

At this time, more and more reporters were coming.

Geraint greeted other reporters warmly and talked to them.

Collins followed the crowd upstairs silently.

He felt isolated by these reporters.

Because when he wanted to look at an acquaintance, the other person's eyes actually avoided him.

Obviously, the other party didn't want to greet him.

This made Collins even more depressed.

It wasn’t like this before!

In the past, he was very popular among reporters.

After all, at that time, Yusak was the strongest in the world.

But now, it seems that everyone has determined that Jusa is completely ruined and beyond salvation.

Collins could only queue up and walk into the press conference hall alone.

Of course, you still need to undergo a security check before entering this hall.

Moreover, the inspection is very thorough, so it is impossible to bring in inappropriate things.

After Collins completed the security check, he walked into the lobby.

This hall is quite large, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

By this time, it was almost packed with people.

At the very front of the press conference, a slide screen displayed the theme of the press conference: Nantianmen Project!
The name of this plan has no meaning in the English translation for ordinary foreigners.

After all, they use Chinese pinyin.

"The "Nantianmen Project".

This translation fails to capture the grandeur of the project's name.

Instead, it makes people feel confused.

Collins is an expert on China. He has a good understanding of China's cultural allusions, myths and legends.

Therefore, he knew that the South Gate of Heaven was a solemn and sacred place in mythology.

Climbing to the South Gate of Heaven represents supremacy.

Collins sighed: Pandas are really ambitious!

I just don’t know what the most important part of their plan is.

At 8:57 am, Zhang Zhipeng, accompanied by Chen Kainan, finally arrived at the press conference hall.

The press conference started at 9 o'clock. When Zhang Zhipeng came in, there was warm applause from the audience.

Zhang Zhipeng also smiled and applauded.

After the applause died down, Chen Kainan gave an opening speech.

Chen Kainan said: "Dear guests, good morning!"

"Today, we invite everyone to participate in the press conference, mainly to announce a grand space exploration plan to the world."

"The name of this plan is the Nantianmen Plan."

"We will invest all our ambitions in this plan, and we hope to help all mankind expand their living space in the coming years!"

"Of course, the biggest purpose of our plan is to maintain world peace and suppress those forces that disrupt peace!"

When Chen Kainan said "suppress those forces that disrupt peace", there was even a commotion at the scene.

Someone shouted, "Jusa said: You might as well just say my name."

Then, a burst of laughter broke out in the press conference hall.

Collins's face became increasingly gloomy.

Because he could feel the contempt of the people in the hall.

Jusa is really no longer the one who is respected.

On the contrary, it is almost becoming a joke.

It seems like only a few years have passed since I went from being at the top of a respected mountain to being a laughing stock.

Chen Kainan gave a brief opening speech.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhipeng began to lecture on the Nantianmen Project.

Before he started speaking, he played an animated video.

It just showed the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier and the Xuannv aerospace fighter.

This animation is very shocking, and it shows the power of the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier to the fullest.

The powerful nuclear fusion reactor and its strong power are shocking.

Especially when they demonstrate extremely powerful laser weapons, it is even more terrifying.

This is because the Luanniao aerospace carrier can fire powerful laser cannons from space, and one shot can destroy a city!
If this can really be made, it would be a doomsday weapon!
This is a bit too powerful.

After the animation was finished, the whole place fell into complete silence.

Immediately, most of the reporters began to applaud.

"Wow!"

The applause was very enthusiastic.

"Oh my god! If this aerospace battleship really succeeds, it would be really scary, right?"

"It's a very cool design. I have a feeling that if this thing can be made, all disputes will be settled."

"God! I don't think this is realistic! Such a powerful weapon can only exist in science fiction."

"Haha! Don't you know? What we are best at is turning science fiction into reality!"

There were many people discussing at the scene.

Collins's face was already pale without a trace of blood. (End of this chapter)
