Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 956: Deterrence is like a life-saving medicine and cannot be stopped for a moment.

At the Wanhu base, Zhou Rui was holding a phone while looking through information about the other side's breakthrough in "orbital defense technology."

Our own observation feedback, satellite records of the "Body Possession Plan", and things that the other party has proactively announced.

There is also a video clip of a press conference of the Ministry of National Defense. The spokesperson, who looks majestic and serious, stated very confidently about their "orbital defense technology."

It’s different from our side. They really need a specific “target” over there, so they keep saying “destroy that” every other sentence, without any concealment. This weapon is aimed at you.

"The Eastern power's unmanned air and space fighters pose a huge threat to the global order. We are deeply concerned about this."

Zhou Rui's expression was calm, and his super analytical ability, which was at the top level of human beings, began to work.

Integrate all the information, not only the current information, but also include analysis of the situation over there, technical routes, historical conditions, and style of doing things.

Jia Xingjian has a really useful brain.

The original one just doesn't work very well.

"The time of impact was a few hours ago, but the launch time is uncertain? In the past week, there were suspected to be three military launches that were not reported to the International Space Agency, and it is impossible to identify which one it was. Are they deliberately covering up the timeliness?"

"The target of the attack was not described as 'satellite' but as 'large orbital equipment'. It was very targeted."

"If we use the term 'hit rather than destroy' to describe it, it should be a conventional thermal energy weapon, not something like microwave rays, and even less a nuclear weapon."

Zhou Rui threw the information aside and said to Yang Rubin on the other end of the phone:

"There is an 80% chance that this is an outdated 'common-orbit interception technology'. The threat to aerospace fighters, Nantianmen and future Lingxiao platforms is almost negligible."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Rubin was still very serious: "What about the remaining 20%?"

"The remaining 20% ​​is because the other side did nothing, it was just a smokescreen."

Yang Rubin was stunned.

He thought Zhou Rui would say that the remaining 20% ​​was because the other side used more advanced technology.

Zhou Rui said: "The other side is intentionally hiding technical information, but we can conduct a comprehensive analysis. It is easy to change a person's style, but it is difficult to change a country's style because it is a systematic result."

"You know they like to talk big and like to announce things before they are even made to gain prestige. Let me give you an example. Since the 21st century, all their breakthroughs in weapons have been announced by themselves at least ten years ago."

"so what?"

"So they have already overdrawn all their 'imagination space' in terms of weapons, and all the surprises have been announced to the world since the PPT stage."

If a certain technology is not on the table, it is not in the PPT, and it is not even in the R&D plan.

That's because Da Piaoliang really doesn't have this kind of technology.

If it is a little bit reliable, it will definitely be released in advance to deter the world, and then it will be developed bit by bit by itself, and people will be able to see the progress regularly.

It's like continuing to show off your muscles.

This approach has both advantages and disadvantages, and it can only be said that it is related to its own positioning. As a "hegemony", "deterrence" is like a life-saving medicine and cannot be stopped for a moment.

However, "every medicine has its poison", because the best possibility has already been predicted, and once the timeline is extended, there will be no "exceeding expectations", and those that fall short of expectations will emerge sooner or later.

Instead, it will damage the golden glory of "hegemony".

It’s been a long time since the US government has produced any “surprise” results, but there are many surprising PPTs.

Moreover, it has fallen into a dilemma, that is, any slightest weakness will be magnified. A plane crash, a ship hit by a shell, or even the backwardness of weapons will be talked about by the whole world and damage its "hegemony". Even its teammates are constantly evaluating the "health bar" of the Eagle Sauce.

This is also why, as soon as the aerospace fighters appear, there must be an immediate counterattack because everyone is waiting.

Therefore, Mencius said: He who uses force to pretend to be benevolent is a hegemon, and a hegemon must have a big country. He who uses force to conquer others is a hegemon, but it is not because their hearts are convinced, and it is because their strength is not sufficient.

"In terms of time, it is impossible for them to crack the 'helicopter' technology in one or two years. If they did, they would release it at a press conference while they were researching it to scare people."

"Most importantly, if it was a clean and neat achievement like the helicopter, the other party should have released more details to prove it, instead of deliberately blurring out the launch time."

Yang Rubin nodded. Zhou Rui's opinion was very important. His words would greatly influence the organization's judgment on this matter.

"I understand. I will give you feedback." Zhou Rui said, "Considering that the G20 is only a week away, these two things should be considered together. I am afraid there is also the idea of ​​trying to save some face. Let me say one more thing. At this time, we must have the fortitude to ignore it."

Yang Rubin smiled: "I was worried that Mr. Zhou would be so angry that he would immediately send a 'Xing Tian' to kick the door. I feel relieved if you think so too."

Originally, he had a mission, which was to tell Zhou Rui not to act impulsively. As he said before, the G20 was about to begin, and the organization did not want to make things too tense.

This will not only affect the other party, but also all participating countries around the world.

When the big guys fought with their knives, sparks flew and the little shrimps below had to raise their heads and scream.

Zhou Rui: "No, we should be as calm as possible when the leaders are about to meet. When two countries interact, we should be magnanimous."

It is not even ruled out that the other side chose this time point on the premise that our reaction would not be excessive.

But on the other hand, if the G20 is not the harmonious one that the Panda family hopes for, it will not be too late to kick the door. It will only take ten days or so.

After discussing this matter, Yang Rubin asked about the mass production of the "Xingtian Fighter".

Zhou Rui leaned back and found a comfortable position: "The meeting was interrupted midway, but the general outline has been discussed. It's still a question of choosing between production capacity and performance."

"I plan to try to design a set of industrial-grade, 10,000-ton integrated die-casting equipment that can be used for titanium alloys. This is a basic technology that will not be a loss if it is developed. It can be used in many places, such as the upstream supply chain of Xingtian and engines."

It is normal to develop supporting equipment for a heavy weapon like a fighter jet, and Yang Rubin is not surprised.

Zhou Rui told him long ago that "Xingtian" must go the route of unmanned mass production.

"If all goes well, the original 10,000-plus parts can be cut in half. The precision will decrease, but the structural stability will increase. Ultimately, all we have to do is ensure that the system engineering meets the standards."

This is not a very new technology, but it is generally only used in industrial products at the automotive level. Its application on aircraft, especially in materials that are difficult to die-cast such as titanium alloy, is the first time in the world.

If Zhou Rui personally takes action, the "disadvantages" brought by integrated die-casting may be eliminated to the greatest extent, while the advantages will be magnified.

He decided to take action himself, not just for the "Xingtian Fighter".

It will be needed in many places in the future.

For example, the melting point of titanium alloy is around 1660°C.

The main component of lunar soil is "basalt". The melting point is about 1500℃. It's totally possible to mix them together.
Yang Rubin: "Okay, do you need any personnel support? I'll help you contact a few large steel mills in China? Or alloy research institutes?"

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "No, I am enough alone."

In theory, integrated die-casting is neither the scope of the smelting industry nor the work of alloy research institutes. It belongs to the "manufacturer" itself.

It depends on what you want to make. They only know about metals, but not about airplanes, let alone aerospace.

On the contrary, as the [pinnacle of human mind], he can cross fields as easily as taking candy from a baby.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui gathered the documents on the desk and walked out of the room.

He handed the information to Lin Tuo who was guarding the door: "Destroy it, I have read it all."

Lintuo temporarily put the information back into his small suitcase and prepared to hand it back to his subordinates.

Following Zhou Rui, Lin Tuo whispered, "Have you confirmed the time to go to Hangzhou to attend the G20? We need to arrange security measures accordingly."

The Leaders’ Summit was on September 9, but there were also many secondary meetings in the previous days, such as the Business Summit, Youth Summit, Science and Technology Summit, etc.

Zhou Rui didn't even turn his head:

"Give me three days. I have a small job on hand. I'll leave on September 9st."

Lin Tuo was stunned: "If it's three days, isn't it August 8st?"

"I have an appointment with my old classmates to go boxing on the 31st."

　As expected, the review is an invisible red line. It hasn’t popped up for a long time. But it suddenly came up, making me nervous about everything I write. I’m a bit stuck today.
