When the rainy season arrives in the interior, the sky is still clear in the hinterland of the northwest desert.

At a military equipment test base in the heart of this desert, the conference room was filled with joy, and a result that was about to shock the world had just been verified.

They have broken through the technical bottleneck of the Chinese Aegis!

In the more than 10 years since its birth, China's national ballistic missile defense system, known as the "Aegis of China," has not been able to break through a technological bottleneck, making it impossible for it to be put into normal use.

Not only is it unusable, but it also has many negative effects.

First and foremost is the cost of maintenance. The maintenance of a complete set of equipment is very costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and thankless.

Secondly, international reputation. When this set of equipment was put into the troops, the domestic media applauded, but the West doubted its performance, and in 2026, a Western country launched a ballistic missile with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers in the name of testing, but the target was pointed at the hinterland of China!

At that time, the early warning subsystem of China's ballistic missile defense system was equipped to accurately catch the trajectory of the missile and initiate the interception procedure.

But alas, the interception was not successful!

And that missile was destroyed by itself before it reached China's airspace.

As a result, public opinion was in an uproar, and China's ballistic missile defense system became a joke, and the defense minister of a certain Western country even said on an abnormal occasion that China's ballistic missile defense system was one of its many fakes!

The system consists of an early warning system, a target identification system, and anti-ballistic missiles.

The ballistic missile early warning system is used to detect incoming ballistic missiles, especially nuclear missiles, at an early stage, and to provide sufficient early warning time according to the measured movement parameters of the incoming missile, and at the same time to indicate the launch position of the incoming missile to the strategic offensive weapons of the side. In this technology, China has carried out space early warning with the help of the "Beidou" series of satellites, used early warning aircraft and base radars for air early warning, and used mobile radars and some low-altitude radars to carry out low-altitude early warning.

In the third component system, the anti-ballistic missile interception system, China is also at the leading level in the world. In January 2007, China shot down a defunct Fengyun-1C meteorological satellite with a missile equipped with a kinetic interceptor. At that time, the outside world generally interpreted it as an anti-satellite weapon, but everyone did not know that this technology was also a key technology in the "China Aegis".

The weaker of the three technologies is the target recognition system.

It took a year for the research team to finally find out the cause, but it couldn't be overcome, which involved very cutting-edge technology.

Because it involves state military secrets, the relevant technology is extremely secret, and the outside world does not know what kind of technology it is.

It is only known that in order to overcome this technical problem, they set up a research team, led by Zheng Yanan, an outstanding scientist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The name of the group is "X" Engineering Team, and the "X" doesn't actually have any meaning, but it just takes its shape, it is very big at the top and bottom, but it is very thin in the middle, which is the bottleneck.

Overcoming this bottleneck, China's ballistic missile defense system will immediately rejuvenate itself, and if it cannot be overcome, it will be a pile of scrap metal.

More importantly, if it cannot be overcome, China will be subjected to nuclear threats and nuclear blackmail by the United States and Japan for a long time!

In the 60s, the atomic bomb was created after all kinds of hardships, and China's military strength was impressed, and no one dared to do anything to China easily, but with the increasing improvement of the ballistic missile air defense systems of the United States, Japan, and Russia, if China could not overcome that bottleneck as soon as possible, the world's nuclear balance would be completely broken!

It was at that critical moment that Feng Junru came to the hinterland of the desert with a backpack on his back, and he was seconded to the base to help.

In the ten years since the establishment of the "X" project team, countless technicians like Feng Junru have come to help, and they have come and gone, leaving no trace.

In the words of Academician Zheng, some outstanding people are born for a certain big thing. Gates was born for computers, Jordan was born for basketball, Qian Xuesen was born for China's nuclear weapons... Someone must have been born for China's ballistic missile defense system, and what I have to do is to bring him!

No one paid much attention to Academician Zheng's words, but when thinking about it in hindsight, some people highly praised Academician Zheng's words actually showed the outstanding vision of a scientific and technological leader, his words were concise, but the meaning was profound, he said how to identify scientific and technological talents, and use him in a position that suits him.

No one knows how he got into Zheng Yanan's gaze, but he was Zheng Yanan's name.

Then, Zheng Yanan let Feng Junru join the "X" project team.

Later, Feng Junru was secretly transferred to the "X" project team of the test base.

Many years later, people talked about it and commented that Zheng Yanan could go down in history even if he didn't do any technical work, just because he approved Feng Junru and transferred him to the "X" project team.

Maybe Zheng Yanan and Feng Junru have to thank each other.

The arrival of Feng Junru has solved the bottleneck problem, China's ballistic missile air defense system is like a big shield, rising in the sky over China, in the imminent outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, the relevant countries no longer dare to threaten with nuclear weapons, but also for the Chinese nation after the war won decades of security, Zheng Yanan is so pleased!
