The problem of the basic materials was solved, and a total of 0.4 source points were spent, which made Chen Nian extremely satisfied.

Of course, what made him more satisfied was that during the three-day high-intensity experiment, many of the researchers in the Institute of Materials Research had generated new knowledge increments, and these knowledge increments brought him a full 0.6 points of source point income.

Not only did he not lose, but he made a big profit!

If we continue to develop at this pace, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly discovering a perpetual motion machine?

——

However, he also knows that it is impossible to rely on this kind of card bug method to brush the source point, because the knowledge increment is not stable every time, and according to the fission boundary of different technologies, the number of source points brushed out does not necessarily make up for the number of source points invested.

It's better to study honestly and engage in scientific research honestly.

He looked at the system interface, and at this time, the number of source points he held had reached 8.4 points, which was not decreasing but increasing compared to a few days ago.

So, without hesitation, he directly started the analysis of the aerodynamic layout of the waverider and the scramjet engine.

After just a few minutes, a gentle stream of information flowed into his brain, and Chen Nian quickly mastered all the knowledge about these two techniques.

At this time, he realized that what he had always thought was a relatively simple waverider structure was actually more complex and subtle.

On the contrary, scramjet engines, on the premise that the material problem has been basically solved, there is almost no difficulty in implementation.

Therefore, he prioritized the focus on the scramjet engine, and planned to output key drawings and data in the shortest possible time, and hand them over to CALT for application research and development.

This is not a work from scratch, with the DF-15 template frame in front, it should not take much time.

Chen Nian let out a long sigh of relief.

Now, the last challenge in front of him is the design of the heat dissipation structure.

And this point, let's wait for the next week, when Zhu Xuejun arrives in Xi'an, and discuss it with her

Meanwhile.

Wilson sat in front of his computer screen, looking at the latest data results with great interest, a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

In the past two days, the smooth development of public opinion has far exceeded his expectations, and the other party seems to have been completely blinded by his own offensive, not only did not react at all, but even because the control was not in place, some public opinion took the initiative to defect and stand on the same line as himself!

It can be said that the "jurisprudence" advocated by the Chinese side has gradually begun to take root in the hearts of the people, and has slowly begun to erode the minds of those who were quite staunch opponents.

He could clearly feel that the wind of public opinion was reversing.

One of the most obvious signals is the discussion of the latest incident of "fishermen clashes at sea".

Unlike the last "military conflict", a large number of people who were originally extremely radical chose to remain silent, while those who already had some kind of "sympathy" for Vietnam began to gradually take over the right to speak.

According to the statistical search index, "humanitarianism" and "human rights" have become the most weighted keywords in the agenda, followed by "jurisprudence".

Even for the first time in history, Wilson saw the remarks on the Internet that "asking the authorities to take the initiative to back down".

This was unthinkable in the past.

No matter what kind of conflict, no matter which faction, their voice is absolutely unanimous, demanding that the official behave tougher and use the most resolute means to safeguard the interests of the country.

But what about now?

They are really starting to reflect!

They are reflecting on whether they have really gone too far, whether they have behaved too domineering on the issue of "maritime rights", and whether they have really violated the "inherent territory" of other countries.

After all, that's what the International Convention on the Sea says.

After all, that's what all the foreign media say.

Is everyone targeting us? Isn't there a single media that seeks truth from facts and evaluates objectively?

It can't be, right?

Self-doubt spreads, and that's exactly what Wilson wants to achieve.

Jokes, you don't doubt yourself, how can we let go and distort the facts?

If you don't abandon your martial arts first, how can we infiltrate the barriers of unity and unity?

These people are really ridiculous, they always think how great they are, how wise their people are, but in fact, under the offensive of modern communication weapons, they are just clowns

Thinking of this, Wilson couldn't help but feel a little proud.

This is a situation that I, an ordinary journalist, has single-handedly created!

With just a few news reports, a powerful modern country has been turned upside down and its biggest weakness has been exposed!

Moreover, the cards in his hand have not yet been played

Can you handle it?

A contemptuous smile crossed Wilson's face.

He closed the web page and opened the document he had prepared, intending to send out the article entitled "Principles for the Standard Handling of Maritime Conflicts: Some Thoughts on the Protection of Civilians' Rights and Interests" after a final check.

He can imagine that those foolish people who have been brainwashed by "legal principles" will definitely fall further into the abyss of "reflection" because of this article.

Victory is at hand

Wilson's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard and made a few more changes to the wording of the article, but just as he was about to send it, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was his editor-in-chief, Griffith.

He quickly picked up the phone and said:

"Hello, Mr. Griffith."

"Wilson, have you read the latest report?"

Griffith's voice was low, and there was a heavy worry and doubt in his tone.

Wilson was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"Not yet, I'm busy preparing the next batch of manuscripts that need to be released, and I haven't had time to read them yet, but it's okay, right? There is no way for them to reverse the current trend of public opinion, all we need to do is to continue to add fuel step by step."

"No, they do!"

Griffith interrupted Wilson harshly, and then continued:

"Now, you immediately open the official media page and see the latest article they have published."

"The popularity of this story has started to grow-—— and this is not the result of their deliberate push!"

"Things are very troublesome, we have met opponents!"

Startled, Wilson hurriedly followed Griffith's instructions to open the page, but at first glance he froze in place.

How should conflicts at sea be handled? How to protect the rights and interests of civilians? Can territorial waters, territorial disputes be mediated? Is International Arbitration Feasible? 》

The long headings of the four questions occupy almost the entire page, each of which has a direct and strong connection to something that has happened recently.

——

Wait a minute.

This is a report from the state media??

Isn't that what the hell I'm going to post??

Wilson's eyes widened, he quickly clicked on the page, and when he saw the real content of the article, he immediately understood what Griffiths meant by the phrase "we have met our opponents".

This article is about selling dog meat in sheep's clothing.

Although it uses the same style of headings as its own, in fact, what it says is a critique and refutation of these headlines!

What's even more terrifying is the form of writing used in this article.

Unlike any previous official report, it is presented in a very simple form, and does not focus on the standardization of the format, but consists of one question at a time.

Each question corresponds to the views that the party has previously expressed, and the official has refuted them one by one.

——

But that's not all.

Halfway through the article, all the points made have been refuted, and then a thick red dividing line divides the story into two parts.

"Prediction: In the next step, the following points will be put forward by the media!"

"The rights and interests of civilians should be protected in maritime conflicts."

"In the event of a dispute over territorial waters, international arbitration shall be used to resolve the dispute"

"Historical ownership is not a reference and modern territorial disputes should be viewed with a changing lens"

The more Wilson looked, the more frightened he became.

Are you kidding??

Isn't this a title that I have already prepared in my mind?

I haven't sent it yet, you sent it all to me?!

He took a deep breath and realized the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, Griffith's voice also came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

"Have you finished reading?"

"I'm done."

Wilson nodded heavily.

"So, do you know the crux of the matter?"

"Well, it's pretty much clear. All of our plans were exposed in advance. The priority of information has been taken into their hands, and if we continue to carry out a public opinion offensive according to the established strategy, it will not achieve any desired effect! ”

"That doesn't work, we have to change our strategy immediately, we have to find a new way to bypass their predictions about us!"

"We can't get around it!"

Griffith sighed and continued:

"Do you think that our public opinion offensive this time is just to stay on public opinion? It goes hand in hand with the real-life offensive! ”

"You also know that the USS Reagan is already on its way to the shipport, and everything we have done is to create rationality for its subsequent actions."

"But now, the other party has said what we want to say in advance, do you know what that means?"

"It's like at the gaming table, we want to cheat, but the other party uses the same method to call out the hole cards!"

"There's no turning back, we have to keep gambling."

"Bet? What else to bet on? ”

Wilson asked with a wry smile.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, the other party had already formulated such a "high-level" strategy.

It's ridiculous that I thought they couldn't deal with it, but in fact, they were just holding back their big moves!

Griffith, who was on the other side, was silent for a few seconds before he finally spoke:

"Bet on what. Betting on them is just luck, betting that even if they see through it, the hand will not be better than ours. ”

"Now, all the pressure is on the American side."

"If they succeed, then we can take advantage of the situation and turn it around."

"But if they fail this time, our influence in this country will be"

"Forever."
