Chapter 443: The Star Wars Project Born in the Last Century

The headquarters of Xingchen Technology in Baoshan is deserted, except for the security department and a small number of colleagues who stay in the company, there is not even a shadow of a person. The largest hardware department and software department have all been on vacation.

When Musk announced the Starlink plan and called Xingchen Technology, An Ran once asked Luo Jia if he would end his vacation early and call people back.

Luo Jia rejected this proposal, and said with a smile a famous sentence of Zheng Banqiao, thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind blow from east to west, north and south!

Just kidding, Xingchen Technology, as the most powerful scientific research corps on the earth today, doesn't even have this concentration, how can it be mixed in this world.

So, after Musk was arrogant for half a month, the strongest tough guy in the Chinese technology industry gathered unhurriedly, and as usual, all the members of the brainstorming team arrived and sat in the highest conference room, waiting for Luo Jia's order.

Luo Jia, who walked on stage, looked around and found that many people were tanned.

Before the Spring Festival, Luo Jia sent an email to all her colleagues, hoping that they would go out for a walk more during the holidays, see the world that was changed by themselves with their own eyes, and talk about their feelings when they came back, thinking about what they can continue to do for this world.

"Which of you will tell you what you have seen and felt about this holiday?" Luo Jia was not in a hurry to assign tasks to everyone, and asked on the stage with a smile.

"I'll come." Dr. Ling Feng, who has always been optimistic, stood up, "I went to North America during the Spring Festival, yes, I went to the enemy's base camp, there is nothing strange about it, it is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible." ”

Everyone laughed, Dr. Ling Feng was almost sixty years old, and his adventurous spirit was still the same as back then, and he was more aggressive than most young people.

"According to my observation, North America has changed a lot, but this change is not subversive, but the number of high-end products from China is increasing, such as our electric cars, our mobile phones and computers, by the way, the next generation of mobile phones and computers sold in North America, 990% of the smuggled goods, the authorities can not even collect a penny of taxes, for which they are also very troubled, in the long run, North America is afraid to become a big smuggling country."

Everyone laughed and thought Dr. Ling Feng's proposal was very interesting, but then again, the result of not opening up the import of electronic products is not a large amount of smuggling, which is an irresistible economic law.

Dr. Zhang Yuechuan from the Department of Optics said: "I went to different places, and my feelings were very different, and I went to Japan and South Korea during the Spring Festival and found that the impact of East Asia was quite serious. ”

"South Korea's first to collapse was shipbuilding, the shipyards of Hyundai and Daewoo have all been shut down, and now the shipbuilding town of Busan is full of unemployed drunken workers, high-end restaurants have closed down, and roadside liquor stalls serving kimchi and instant noodles and cheap spirits are in vogue."

"The most expensive dish in the roadside wine stall is pork neck, a thin slice of chopping and stewing kimchi soup, the price is not expensive, but still no one buys it, most people only have edamame and kimchi in front of them, and at most add a piece of fried tofu."

Zhang Yuechuan's description is quite detailed, a gray and dilapidated heavy industrial city, which unfolds in everyone's minds.

The unemployed IT elite can come to China to eat, but for the shipbuilders and sailors, unemployment is like a nightmare, and with the collapse of the economy, it is not easy to find new jobs.

Shipbuilding, shipping, steel, automobiles, with South Korea's pillar industries failing one after another, the country is quickly returning to its original historical position.

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, watching TV and news reports, it is far better to feel it in person, which is why Luo Jia proposed to let everyone go out and walk more.

Wei Jianing of Xingchen Software Group thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have really changed the world, and the technology we have developed has been integrated into all aspects of life. ”

After talking about the holiday, everyone looked at Luo Jia, only to see him get up from his seat and pull out the huge whiteboard that had been prepared, as well as a red and black bold ink pen.

The brainstorming team immediately cheered up, a new journey is about to begin, if nothing else, the aerospace department of Xingchen Technology will soon be born to deal with the challenge from across the Pacific Ocean.

Confident expressions appeared on everyone's faces, since its establishment, Xingchen Technology has not tasted defeat, so everyone is full of confidence in the future, thinking that Musk's guy must be dizzy, and actually asked Xingchen Technology if he dares to face it?

The tough guy Tiantuan knows a lot, but he just doesn't know what it means to be afraid!

Luo Jia saw the disdainful expressions on everyone's faces, frowned slightly, and then stretched his brows again, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that everyone is very confident, indeed, although we have never been involved in the aerospace field, but in this field, we have good technical reserves." ”

"For example, Cao Yuan's graphene preparation technology, Musk's Falcon rocket uses stainless steel, if we use graphene, the performance will definitely be much ahead of them, which is basically a dimensionality reduction attack."

"In addition, we have ultrasonic motors, battery reserve technology, laser technology, electromagnetic technology, optical induction technology, third-generation artificial intelligence technology, and so on."

"These technologies are our important cards, I dare not say that there is no one to come, at least there is no one before, even if they are thrown to the West and let them engage in reverse engineering, they have no way to imitate it."

However, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, why does Musk still dare to challenge so arrogantly, even though we have so many hole cards? And from a behavioral analysis point of view, Musk is clearly doing it on purpose, and it seems that his concern is not that we are provoked, but that we are not angry. ”

The conference room fell silent, everyone fell into deep thought, and carefully recalled according to Luo Jia's language, everyone remembered that when Musk pointed to the East, the smile on the corner of his mouth was light, which was quite an old fox, could it be that behind Musk's arrogance, there was something hidden?

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "On March 23, 1983, the Star Wars program was officially put on the agenda, and we must not forget how big is North America's leading edge in the aerospace field, when North America decided to develop space-based weapons, half of the people in this office, including me, were not yet born. ”

"Some people say that the trillion-dollar Star Wars program itself is a hoax that consumes huge resources of the former Soviet Union and eventually leads to the disintegration of the woolly bear."

"Although Star Wars conspiracy theories have a lot of market among the people, reason tells us that no, the Star Wars program is by no means a hoax, and the reason why hoax theory is so popular is only because some people want us to think it's a hoax!"

"Just like over the years, big V and public intellectuals have spared no effort to build North America into a beacon of mankind, public opinion and culture have always been the end point of all hegemonism, in the past we did not pay attention to propaganda and cultural aggression, and suffered a big loss, so in the future, we must be more cautious to distinguish what is the truth and what is the so-called truth that others want us to believe!"

Luo Jia's words were obviously well thought out, during everyone's vacation, he was not idle, in addition to studying, Luo Jia also carried out deep thinking and analyzed every word and action of Musk.

Sure enough, Luo Jia's words caused a huge sensation.

Assuming Project Star Wars isn't a hoax?

This assumption is so terrifying that no one dares to guess how many years ahead of China is in North America's technological reserves in the aerospace field, even if the Star Wars program is only half completed, its technological content is enough to throw off China for a century.

"Mr. Luo, are you serious?"

"How is that possible! If the Star Wars program exists, wouldn't the North American authorities have the ability to build space-based weapons? ”

"I go, I don't dare to think about it, when I think of the words space-based weapons, my heart is furious."

Everyone talked about it, not that they were afraid, but that the Star Wars program was really a bit scary, and the ignorant were fearless, and the brainstorming team with scientific literacy knew too well the power of advanced technology, and many times, with technology, they could do whatever they wanted.

Luo Jia said lightly: "Let me give a simple example, you may know that the development of space-based weapons requires efficient and low-cost delivery vehicles, North America launched a spinnaker in the nineties of the last century, launched a space experiment aircraft between X34 and X40, and the earliest recoverable launch vehicle K-1. ”

"Later, Dr. Worm, the chief scientist in charge of the K-1 program, jumped from Kistler to Blue Origin to develop the Shepard rocket we see today."

"To some extent, the Star Wars program never ended, but appeared in another guise, including Shepard rockets, Patriot 3 missiles, and the THAAD system, all of which are derivatives of the Star Wars program."

"I have a detailed survey here that counts the completion of each subsystem in the Star Wars project, and now I will send it to your office mailbox, please take the time to take a look at it when you get back."

After that, Luo Jia pressed enter on the notebook with his finger and sent the email to everyone, and the content of this email is roughly like this.

The Extra-Atmospheric Interception System, abbreviated ERIS, is in charge of the enterprise, Lockheed Martin.

On January 28, 1991, the first interception test of ERIS, the target RV was delivered by the Aries missile of Orbital Sciences, at an altitude of 270 kilometers, the two collided at a speed of 13.4 kilometers per second, the RV was successfully destroyed, and the test was successful.

As of May 19, 1994, ERIS had conducted four tests, three of which were successful, because it could be inferred that North America had the ability to intercept extra-atmospheric targets, at an altitude of more than 500 kilometers.

Extra-Atmospheric Kill Vehicle System, abbreviated as Project EKV.

In October 1990, the project was approved to Martin. Marietta, Hughes Missiles, Rockwell, three companies sold project packages, and then in the first round of competition in 1995, Martin. Marietta's program was eliminated.

Next, on June 24, 1997 and January 16, 1998, respectively, NMD flight comprehensive tests, IFT-1 and IFT-2 projects were conducted, and according to the results of the evaluation, Raytheon defeated Boeing and became the main contractor for the EKV part of the GBI missile.

There are many similar contents, after reading this email, everyone expressed their shock, I don't know where Luo Jia got this information, if the information is true, the Star Wars project, which contains thousands of sub-projects, is far more complete than the world knows.

Due to cost reasons, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the main rival of North America, more than 90 percent of these groundbreaking scientific research results have never been put into use, and are stored in NASA's database.

Luo Jia smiled and said to the people with shocked looks: "I'm afraid this is where Musk's confidence lies, North America started space research decades earlier than us, as for the relationship between Musk and NASA, it is not as simple as we imagined, I don't know if any of you remember, the grasshopper rocket launched on October 7, 2013?" ”
