Chapter 259: Is It Hard to Build Satellites?
First, the American people have always had a bad temper, and when they are unhappy, they will sit-ins, march, and demonstrate.
This time was no exception, and in just half a day of brewing, various demonstrations broke out in many cities.
The core demand of their march is to reveal in detail where the country's military is spending.
Can this be made public? Which country's military spending will not have some hidden features? In particular, it is impossible to say about some secret items.
What's more, these people are saying that they are asking for the release of military spending, but in fact they are just venting their dissatisfaction.
After all, after spending so much money but not playing a corresponding role, who is not depressed!
Mr. President can now only be described as burnt out.
After the second half of last night plus this morning's investigation, the results have come out, and John has not made obvious mistakes, except for getting the fleet to intercept missiles.
But in that case, whoever would have ordered the interception, right?
Things have come to this point, who is going to take the blame?
If a Global Eagle is lost, can it still be said that it is lost? There is not even a crash site, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Congress to explain it.
What's more, there are also the results of the exercise that brought people home, and now it is estimated that the whole world is laughing at it.
The picture of dozens of ship-to-air missiles flying after the Huaxia missiles was also circulated on the American Internet and was listed as the most shameful photo of the year.
If how to explain to the people has caused the president a bit of a headache now, then the report that radar and spy satellites did not find the flight trajectory of the Huaxia missile almost caused him to suffer a heart attack.
How is this possible? It's completely unscientific!
Mr. President knows very well that even if it is a missile launched in his own country, radar and satellites can clearly detect it.
Because Mao Huaxia's missile flew so far, the aircraft carrier fleet did not find anything, and the satellites in the sky did not see anything like blind people.
Not to mention that there was also a Global Hawk nearby at that time.
Extrapolating from the time, when the Huaxia missile was fired, the Global Hawk was still flying in the sky.
However, the global eagle did not have eyes, and there was nothing to be found.
How did Huaxia do it? How did their missiles dodge so much monitoring equipment?
Could it be that Huaxia really mastered a missile technology that ignores all current means of missile detection? This is unlikely, and Mr. President prefers to believe that his own equipment has failed.
But now all the data they have shows that their equipment is not faulty!
"How the hell is there no glitch?" Mr. President was about to flip the table.
Huaxia's missile seemed to have been shot directly into the heart of Mr. President, making it difficult for him to breathe.
In fact, not only him, but several other people in this office at the moment were also dull.
From last night to now, they haven't slept all the time, everyone is staring at a pair of panda eyes, and as for the eyes, they are full of red bloodshots.
But they didn't notice all this, and at the moment all they had in their minds was the missileβa missile that appeared out of thin air.
Defense Minister Claeser said with a gloomy face: "Mr. President, if we make this matter public, we will definitely be able to isolate China to a certain extent." A weapon that no one can check and balance is bound to be feared by all countries, including Russia, which now has close relations with China, and I am afraid that it will not be able to ignore the fact that its neighbors have such a weapon. β
Mr. President said: "All this is just our speculation, and who would believe it without tangible evidence to prove it?"
The Minister of Defense sneered: "It doesn't have to be convincing these countries, as long as they are skeptical." Sowing discord works best when it's confusing. ...... Moreover, doesn't Mr. President want to increase military spending? As long as the congressional guys can feel the threat posed by China, they will agree to increase military spending faster than anyone else. β
Navy Commander Patton said bitterly: "But in this way, we will also face two problems, one is the doubts brought by the people. After all, we have an absolute advantage in scientific research and military spending, and as a result, we have been overtaken by China in terms of missiles, and it is estimated that the people will make a fuss about this. On the other hand, once we advocate that Huaxia has missiles with such countermeasures and detection means, then we will lose the foundation on which we can advance the anti-missile system. Unless one day we can 'see' each other's missiles again, no one will think that our existing missile defense system has any meaning. β
The Minister of Defense was dumbfounded, the first question can be ignored, but the second question is a big trouble.
The reason why the United States has been implementing the anti-missile system is not to prevent others from throwing missiles on its own territory, so that it can first make itself invincible.
Although all these years have passed, the anti-missile system is still far from the ultimate goal, but they are convinced that as long as they persist, they will eventually be able to achieve this goal.
But if this project is stopped now, won't all the previous efforts be in vain?
Mr. President's originally white face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said fiercely: "First announce the news to the public, just say that our Global Eagle was shot down by Huaxia, and ask Huaxia to take responsibility for this matter and return the wreckage of Global Eagle." β
Patton asked, "Do we need to have further military action, such as sending a two-carrier formation to the coastal waters of China to deter?"
The eyes of the president and the secretary of defense instantly focused on Patton's face, and that look had already sincerely greeted Patton's mother, you idiot, now you haven't even figured out what the Huaxia missile is about, in case the two aircraft carriers are beaten up after they pass, then what to do next?
Barton seemed to know what he was talking about, and he smiled.
I really don't get used to this, who was to be condemned before, first send the aircraft carrier over to show off the muscles, but now I can only have a war of words......
......
The next morning, Shen Bing saw a person in the villa.
Gao Jingchuan.
The other party brought thanks from the Huaxia military, as well as a metal box.
Inside the box were two Type 92 pistols, 200 rounds of ammunition, and a gun ID.
After Shen Bing happily took these things, Gao Jingchuan also proposed to buy another hundred kilograms of stealth materials and a set of painting equipment.
Last time, those stealth materials were given away by Shen Bing for free, but this time they can't be free.
Two hundred million, the price is comparable to gold.
However, in the eyes of the military, 200 million can buy stealth materials, which is simply the price of cabbage.
But for Shen Bing, the cost of making one kilogram of stealth materials is less than 10,000, two hundred times the profit, which can scare people to death. Of course, if you calculate the cost of R&D, it is not so high, and knowledge is priceless.
As for the coating equipment, Shen Bing symbolically charged a "cost price" of five million.
"Brother Shen, when will your company be able to get out the kind of full-time controllable stealth material you said?" At the end, Gao Jingchuan couldn't help but ask.
Shen Bing smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it will take some time, and now we will encounter a technical bottleneck." However, I estimate that it will only be half a year at most, and I will definitely be able to get out the real stealth materials. β
Gao Jingchuan smiled and said, "That's good, in fact, the psychological time of those people above is two or three years." This time, Lao Mei was frightened a lot, and it is estimated that he will be able to stop at our border for a few years. But there's one thing I've asked me to tell you above, though I don't think it's necessary at all. β
"You're still playing a dumb riddle, tell me what's going on. β
Gao Jingchuan said with a serious face: "Regarding the secrecy of stealth materials, you must not disclose half a word to the outside world, and you must explain it clearly to all the personnel involved in this project." In addition, stealth materials cannot be sold externally and for an indefinite period of time, unless similar products appear in other countries. The chief also knows that this request will cost you a lot, so he promises to compensate you in other ways, and you can make any mention of the conditions. β
Shen Bing grinned and said, "I don't have any other conditions, didn't I see you launch a satellite last time, so I just wanted to get a satellite of the company's own." β
Gao Jingchuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Satellites?" Why do you have nothing to do with satellites? Your company's business doesn't seem to need satellites, right?"
Shen Bing said: "I don't need to involve it now, but in the next step, our company is ready to enter the field of smart cities, and at the same time, we will also carry out business in cybersecurity, which requires the use of satellites." β
Gao Jingchuan looked confused: "Don't bully me, I don't understand! Smart cities need satellites? Network security also needs satellites? Well, even if satellites are needed in these two fields, they don't necessarily need to launch them themselves, right?"
"Uh...... The existing satellite capabilities could not meet the needs of our company, so we had to rely on ourselves. Shen Bingyun said lightly.
Gao Jingchuan felt that he was beeping the dog, and he felt that every time he talked to this guy, his IQ would be severely damaged.
With you, building a satellite is as simple as kneading it out of mud.
"Can you build a satellite?" Gao Jingchuan felt that he needed to confirm it, and he had to go back and report to the leader.
Shen Bing touched his nose and said, "Is it difficult to build a satellite?"
That's a ......
Well, Gao Jingchuan didn't plan to dwell on this question anymore, and asked with a little bright eyes: "Then what are the new functions of your satellite?"
Shen Bing said: "The satellite doesn't have any new features, but it is more powerful than the existing ones. β
Can I have an AI module on my satellite?
Gao Jingchuan looked yearning, but he understood the fetish of this guy in front of him, this so-called is even stronger, and the absolute force is so powerful that it is boundless.
Immediately said: "I have to go and tell the leader that if the satellite you get is really so powerful, then you have to help the military produce a few." β
Shen Bing knew that the other party would say this, but this was not what Shen Bing was looking forward to.
How much does it cost to sell a telescope? It's less than 100 million a day, and it's not too much for me to get such a good artificial satellite, and it costs hundreds of millions of dollars, right?
