Time passes, and time flies.

In the blink of an eye, 2011 is about to become human history, and a new year will also come.

2012 is destined to be a turbulent era.

Putting aside the legendary unreliable apocalypse,

This year, the two sessions, which represent the change of supreme power in China, will be held, and the new leadership of China will step onto the stage of history and grasp the leading position of the world's second largest economy.

This year, because of the rise of China, the people of country M began to rethink their various policies towards China in the past 10 years - why was China able to go from ranking seventh in the world in terms of GDP to officially becoming second in the world last year?

You must know that once someone economically threatens the status of country M, the White House will never be merciful.

For example, the original world second, the former Mao Bear Country has been disintegrated by him, and the Toray Kingdom has been caused by a paper treaty to cause economic recession.

But just when country M looked around the earth and found that looking at the world, there was no country that could threaten the status of country M dominating the earth, a Chinese country suddenly came out of its side, and it became the second in the world with lightning speed, and the momentum of development could not be stopped at all!

How so!

Why did the Chinese rise so quickly?

It's even so fast that they don't react!

The elites of the White House thought about it, but it turned out that it was all because of their own reasons - in the past 10 years, they have completely ignored Huaguo, did not make trouble for Huaguo, and gave them a period of strategic opportunity!

In short, we can't let Huaguo develop so smoothly!

As a result, the elites of country M, represented by Comrade Ao Guanhai, began to face up to the rise of China, and took advantage of the handover of power in China to formulate a strategic plan to return to the Asia-Pacific region.

It can be said that 2012 is a crucial turning point in the coming decades, and it will play a key role in the overall situation in the world for decades to come.

Ordinary people may not feel it yet, but senior state officials at the center of power, the top leaders of the military, and the academic tycoons at the top of the scientific and technological world have intuitively felt that this year is unusual.

So, not long after Liu Feng returned to the capital, on the day of the beginning of the new year, a Hongqi sedan once again took him to a mysterious place in Zhongnanhai.

However, this time, Liu Feng was surprised to find that in this mysterious office, in addition to the Great Elder, there was also a person sitting here, if he was not mistaken, this was the big guy who was about to become the new Great Elder in two months!

"Liu boy, you're here, sit down. ”

Seeing Liu Feng come in, the Great Elder still greeted him amiably.

"I would like to introduce to you, this is Comrade Diao, and he will represent us in China in the future, in short, you will also report to him on your future work. ”

Looking at the burly Comrade Diao next to him, Liu Feng nodded without humility or arrogance, and stepped forward to greet: "Elder Diao, hello, I am Liu Feng. ”

Comrade Diao also stood up.

Compared with the amiability of the Great Elder, this person's momentum gave people a sense of majesty and majesty, like a fierce tiger, more like a real dragon, and his eyes were awe-inspiring and fierce.

It's just that looking at Liu Feng's gaze, he is very similar to the Great Elder, just like an elder loves his junior.

In the meantime, he stepped forward and shook Liu Feng's hand with a pleasant face, and said with a smile: "You are Professor Liu Feng, I have admired your name for a long time, and I will give me more advice on my work here in the future." ”

"How dare you ......".

The first meeting between the two finally officially began here.

After the greetings, as is customary, Liu Feng first made a brief work report on the antimatter project.

Comrade Diao did not express any views on this, and it seems that he has already done work in this regard and has a very good understanding of it.

And

From Liu Feng's report and the news from the people below, he can easily see that although there are certain twists and turns in the progress of the antimatter project, on the whole, it is indeed very smooth, and it has been so smooth that the strategic upper echelons of the entire country are extremely surprised by it!

In less than a year, this young man has solved the problem of large-scale production technology and storage technology of antimatter - you know, this is something that the M country guy has spent decades and nearly a trillion dollars has not solved!

It's incredible, it's so sci-fi!

Antimatter......

Maybe in his lifetime, he can still see Huaguo solve the energy problem of the entire earth with this thing!

To be honest, in fact, when he learned about this project, he still felt a little incomprehensible about the Great Elder's decision, and now it seems that the old man's courage is really not much smaller than him.

In short, this Professor Liu is indeed a rare scientific and technological genius in China, and no country where such a person is placed is enough to make the leadership of that country treat each other with national courtesy!

Fortunately, fortunately,

Such people appear in China......

After a pause, Comrade Diao sorted out his thoughts and asked with a serious face:

"Professor Liu, during this period of time, the international situation has changed, and country M has re-changed its goal and upgraded us to the biggest threat, and this threat will always exist for a long time in the future; therefore, in order to deal with these problems, in the next time, our country must and will vigorously develop our weapons and equipment. I heard that some time ago, you communicated with Academician Ma Mingwei at the Naval University of Engineering and helped him solve the problem of aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapults, and you helped China's military materials achieve a qualitative leap in the field of materials research, including J-20 stealth materials, including aircraft engine materials, and other materials needed in other special fields...... Therefore, apart from antimatter engineering, do you have any views on the development of China's weapons and equipment industry?"

The change in country M's strategic attitude towards China can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, which is the inevitability of historical development, even if Liu Feng is devoted to scientific research, he is not ignorant of this.

The highest-level scientific research workers are enough to affect the fate of a country or even a nation, so it is very necessary and necessary to pay attention to the development of the national situation at any time.

After all, in this era, although the competition between countries is to a large extent manifested in the competition in the economic field, the driving force for maintaining the healthy and sustainable development of a country's economy is scientific research and scientific and technological innovation!

In particular, in the field of weapons and equipment to defend a country's security, we must never ignore it.

So, after thinking for a while, Liu Feng nodded and replied seriously:

"Elder, I do have some superficial views on the development of the country's weapons and equipment. ”

You say. Comrade Diao stretched out his hand encouragingly.

"I think that in the next 20 years, there will be three main needs for China's high-end weapons and equipment: one is aircraft carriers, the second is fifth-generation fighters, and the third is the global satellite positioning system. ”

Nodding, Comrade Diao agreed.

After all, this point coincides with their decision-making.

Needless to say, aircraft carriers are mainly to defend China's increasingly important overseas interests;

The fifth-generation fighter is also obvious, mainly to improve the air force strength of the entire China and narrow the generation gap with neighboring countries, especially with country M;

As for the global satellite positioning system, as the information support of the entire weapon system, it is the most important thing, without this system, it is impossible for future aircraft carriers to run rampant across the ocean and deter overseas.

Therefore, from these suggestions put forward by Liu Feng, it can be seen that this young scientist is not just a nerd who can engage in scientific research.

However, it wasn't enough, and it wasn't the answer he wanted to hear......

As if he knew his thoughts, he only heard Liu Feng continue:

"This is just my suggestion for China's weapons development in the next 20 years, but I think that whether it is an aircraft carrier, a fifth-generation fighter, or even a global satellite positioning system, it can only be a transition, and it can be developed, but it does not need to be developed on a large scale. In the case of aircraft carriers, only two are enough to solve the problem of whether there is or not......"

"Huh?"

Whether it was Comrade Diao who was facing Liu Feng directly, or the Great Elder who was playing soy sauce on the side, they all frowned in unison.

In fact, they just wanted to hear Liu Feng's views on the development route of certain cutting-edge weapons, but now, Liu Feng's suggestion is very different from their decision-making direction!

China must have aircraft carriers, and it is not just a matter of one or two, but at least six or more ships are necessary to be sufficient to defend China's overseas interests and security.

However, why did Liu Feng say that only two ships were enough?

Seeing that the two elders were frowning, Liu Feng opened his mouth and hesitated.

To tell the truth, this is a proposal related to the future strategic security of China for decades, and how much weight can he, a young man who is only 19 years old, say?

And

If the decision-makers really supported his suggestion, it was finally proved that the current decision was correct, and if it was wrong, he, a great scientist, would have nothing to lose, but those who decided to support him at the beginning would definitely be criticized by future people, so the risk is too high!

I'm afraid that if it were Liu Feng himself, he wouldn't dare to easily trust a young man's judgment!

Seeing Liu Feng's hesitation, the two bigwigs glanced at each other, but still put aside the doubts in their hearts for the time being:

"Professor Liu, you don't have to have a psychological burden, although you can speak freely, after all, it is you who make the suggestion, but it is still us who make the decision, and if anything really happens, it is also the responsibility of our people. ”

That being said, the pressure on this side is really not small!

Liu Feng sighed.

As a scientist and a scientist who can directly influence the country's top decision-makers, he must be responsible for himself and for China.

Clenched his fists, Liu Feng finally strengthened his confidence:

"Two elders, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the current situation is so tense, we will all face an imminent threat in the next 20 years, and we must develop something that can be used to protect our security, I don't even recommend that the country develop aircraft carriers or even fifth-generation fighters. ”

Two Elders: "???"

Comrade Diao stretched out his head even more, and said with a puzzled expression: "Why?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Feng then explained:

"Because the future is already an interstellar age! In 10 or 20 years, or 3 or 40 years, we human beings will be able to go into space, open up a new earth, and colonize the solar system or even farther away! A mere earth will not be enough to meet our pace of development! And aircraft carriers, fifth-generation aircraft, and even the global satellite positioning system can only be regarded as 'intrasphere' weapons, and they will not be able to play much role at all in the future interstellar era......

In the office, there was a brief silence.

Both the Great Elder and Comrade Diao were shocked by Liu Feng's words.

The interstellar age?

Carving out a new planet?

Colonizing the solar system and beyond?

This guy, really not joking or bragging?

But seeing Liu Feng's determined expression, it clearly didn't look like he was lying......

"Professor Liu, you should know that even the people of country M can only send astronauts to the moon at most, and our country can only send people to outer space for a few turns.

Comrade Diao did not hide his suspicions and said with a serious face.

The Great Elder on the side also nodded with a serious face and reminded:

"Liu Feng, Comrade Diao is right, if you can't convince us with enough reasons, we can only assume that we haven't asked you, and you must know the seriousness of this. ”

It is because I know the seriousness of this that I have to convince you!

If it weren't for the fact that he was a scientist and a Chinese, he wouldn't have been so thankless and risked 'falling out of favor' to publish his own proposals.

"Dare to ask the two elders, why is it a fantasy?"

After a pause, Liu Feng finally asked with a smile, acting confident, but only he knew best, in fact, he was very nervous!

Comrade Diao shook his head:

"Although I am not a scientist, I also know that in order to do what you said, we must do the following three things!"

"First, we need to solve the problem of energy!"

"Second, to solve the problem of spaceship, or spaceship power!"

"Finally, it is necessary to solve the problem of the biosphere!"

"I don't know if you agree with these three points?"

Liu Feng nodded: "Yes, what you said is completely correct. ”

"So, these three points, what kind of situation is our Huaguo, presumably Professor Liu should have some understanding, right?"

Seeing that Liu Feng also agreed with his own point of view, Comrade Diao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said,

"I also believe that in 20 years, you may be able to solve the problem of large-scale power generation of antimatter, but can you miniaturize it and equip it with spacecraft? ”

"Second, our current spacecraft, or launch vehicles, can only transport a few heavy things to Mars at most, and it will take a year or two to do so, I don't know how Professor Liu answers this question?"

"Thirdly, the transformation of the planet into a habitable environment involves the problem of the biosphere, and how do you solve this problem?"
