At the same time as the personnel changes on the other side of the strait were surging, on the other side, in a certain experimental field, a storm in the physical sense was also sweeping.

Just now, the technical team responsible for the research and development of metallic hydrogen explosives has just completed the hydrostatic pressure explosion experiment, and before this experiment, they had completed almost all the explosives experimental procedures.

In addition to the typical closed container tests, they even completed measurements of electromagnetic radiation during explosions, experiments on the combustion properties of thermobaric bombs, and experiments on wall damage.

One of the most visually striking is naturally the large-yield wall destruction experiment.

And the results of the experiment also shocked everyone.

In the case that the TNT explosives only caused minor damage to the carbon fiber cloth reinforced masonry infill wall, the new explosives of metal hydrogen + all-nitrogen anionic salt directly overturned the entire masonry wall.

Only bits and pieces of wall powder remain, as well as a small amount of carbon fiber material that is molten at high temperatures.

"This thing has a much more explosive power than the all-nitrogen anionic salts we've tested before. It is worthy of being the strongest energetic material. ”

In the laboratory, Hu Bingchun looked at the data transmitted by several sensors, shook his head, and said with emotion.

"Of course, if nothing else, the cost of light is dozens of times that of the total nitrogen anionic salt."

"Don't say anything else, just the fact that we blew it up, the material research institute is already distressed."

"This is metallic hydrogen, this is a superconducting material at room temperature. It's not easy to come by, and now that we've set off fireworks-—— I don't know what their expressions are. ”

Hearing the assistant's words, a narrow smile appeared on Hu Bingchun's face inexplicably.

Then, he said with bad intentions:

"Is there a feeling that someone's daughter has been raised, but we have cut it off?"

"If you want to say that, that's really what it is."

"I've heard that the resources invested in the metallic hydrogen project are among the best even within Xinghuo, and the budget alone spends close to 15% of the annual budget."

"And the most outrageous thing is that this 15% of the budget is spent by them within half a year-—— if it doesn't produce results, this project may become the biggest gold-swallowing beast in Xinghuo's projects."

"But it's okay, they're efficient enough."

"After that, the project will be a smooth road."

"Something to look forward to."

Hu Bingchun nodded slightly.

To put it bluntly, although he is an expert in explosives, and has devoted most of his time to the field of nitrogen compounds, he is not ignorant of the broader field of materials science.

"You say, in which direction will the subsequent development of metallic hydrogen go? Energy storage, or transmission? ”

Hu Bingchun asked casually.

"I guess it's going to be a transmission."

"In the final analysis, efficiency improvement is still to reduce losses, and only energy storage equipment is used, what about transportation? You can't rely on a big truck to pull it, right? ”

"But the cost of transmission is not a small number – and on the other hand, if there is a breakthrough in energy storage, coupled with the replacement of electric motors, maybe we have the opportunity to completely get rid of dependence on oil"

"I don't understand, let's see what it says."

The assistant shook his head slightly, a confused look written on his face.

"It's a big project."

Hu Bingchun sighed.

"It's a big project, and the transmission is also a big project - in this way, the shortest and fastest application is really made into explosives."

"The boss of Xinghuo is indeed not an ordinary person, rushing when he should rush, slow when he should be slow, although it is just a purely technical decision, but it also has a decisive feeling."

"So who's at the helm? I don't understand."

The assistant on the side continued to shake his head and did not immediately answer Hu Bingchun's words.

Of course, he didn't answer not because the topic was sensitive, but because he really didn't know.

At this point, Xinghuo has involved more and more people and departments, and its influence has become more and more influential, even if the strictest secrecy measures have been adopted, it is impossible to avoid discussion at all.

Privately, especially after the end of the all-nitrogen anion salt project, the project team's curiosity about the Spark organization and its people at the helm has almost reached its peak.

Everyone knows that Chen Guo is the head of Xinghuo, and he has more or less been in contact with Chen Nian, but who is behind them?

Who provided the incredible technology, and where did it come from?

No, it's really that little young.

In fact, most non-core members still regard Chen Nian as a "spokesperson".

This is also the result of the deliberate guidance of the intelligence department, and in a certain way, this can ensure Chen Nian's safety to the greatest extent.

To put it bluntly, it's layer by layer on the vest.

At the level of Hu Bingchun and his assistant, in fact, he can't see the truth under the last layer of vest

"Whoever it is, that's not something we should be thinking about."

"In short, when the time comes, everything that should be decrypted will be decrypted, I hope I can catch up in my lifetime."

"Don't talk about this -—— leader, the explosion test has basically been completed, can we report to our superiors and prepare to start the charge test with CALT?"

Hearing this, Hu Bingchun nodded, and then said:

"No problem, contact Mr. Zhu Xuejun and Mr. Zhu first to see how their preparations are doing."

"If all goes well, we will be able to complete the charge test within this week, three days faster than expected."

"But I estimate that Mr. Zhu's side is not so fast, their transformation is not complicated, but it is more cumbersome, which is not something that can be added by overtime alone."

In fact, the DF-21 transformation is just as Hu Bingchun expected, although it is progressing smoothly, but compared to the overall schedule requirements, the speed is really not that fast.

It was not until 4 days after the completion of the metallic hydrogen explosives that the charge test was initiated.

However, due to the thorough preparation in the early stage, the process did not encounter any problems.

In just 36 hours, the DF-21H completed a series of tests, including charge and transportation.

This also means that the missile has officially entered a state of full readiness.

Subsequently, the DF-21 "No. 1 bomb" was secretly transported to a certain port along with the No. 2 bomb, where it was loaded onto the ship.

It is about to complete a shocking explosion at sea, although the impact is definitely not enough to compare with the explosion on the Gobi Desert more than 40 years ago, but in the same way, the fire generated by this explosion will also bring light to the future road.

A few days later, at 125 degrees east longitude, in the sea near an island south of Akao Island.

The Minjinyu No. 5170 fishing boat is carrying out routine fishing operations, and the captain Zhan Tianxiong and Da Zhan Qiming are standing at the bow of the boat, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Obviously, the results of this fishing trip were good, the area is rich in resources, and the number of fishing boats carrying out fishing operations is not large, and the competition is not fierce.

It can be said that this is the dream of fishing in the fishing industry.

But of course, not every fishing boat dares to fish here, and in addition to the relatively complex sea conditions, there is also an important danger here.

That is, the Chinese fishing boats may be driven away by the ships of the island countries at any time.

Although they do not use force directly in most cases, once the fishing operation is forcibly interrupted, the fuel and supply costs of a single trip to sea will also be a big hole.

Not to mention, fishing vessels can lose nets and other equipment due to dangerous behaviour by island vessels-—— which is a huge loss.

However, for Zhan, none of these problems are a problem.

After more than ten years of fishing, he is not the most skilled and the most lucky, but he is the most courageous among the same group of fishermen.

He dares to go where others dare not go, and he dares to catch fish that others dare not catch.

His credo is only one, and that is:

On the sea, except for Mazu, he was not convinced.

Therefore, coming here to fish is just a routine operation for him, and if it weren't for the sensitivity of the current situation, he would even plan to go to the shallow sea for a walk.

Looking at another net of fish slowly caught, Zhan Tianxiong couldn't help but smile.

He turned his head and said to the first mate beside him:

"This boat will go back, and it is estimated that it will be enough for me to change the car."

"Gan Linniang, that broken car has been driving for ten years, and I don't want to think about everything except the horn, I wanted to replace it a long time ago."

"Say, which car should I change? Don't want the island country, don't want the old beauty, just BMW, Audi Volkswagen, right? ”

"When the time comes, tell your sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to buy cheap ones, but the situation doesn't allow it."

Zhan Qiming on the side laughed, he naturally knew Zhan Tianxiong's careful thoughts, and he would not pierce it.

"Buy Audi in one step."

"Anyway, I've made a lot of money in the past two years, and it's time to take such a big risk."

"That's, but, wealth and danger are sought, don't go to sea if you're afraid of death-—— speaking of which, our stall is going well, but we haven't encountered a single island ship?"

Hearing his words, Zhan Qiming frowned slightly, and replied:

"Indeed, I don't know what's going on, before I came, they also said that the island people danced very well during this time, why did the shadows disappear as soon as we arrived?"

"Figured it out? Or are you scared of us? ”

"I think some time ago, there were still a few devils on the island, but now they seem to have been withdrawn."

"It's withdrawn, and the flags are down."

"It's a pity."

Zhan Tianxiong sighed and continued:

"Originally, before I came, I thought that if I came to us again this time, I would fight with them."

"It's all tin boats, and they don't dare to use guns, so I can't do it, who can be hard."

"You're leaving!"

Zhan Qiming hurriedly interrupted him, and then persuaded:

"We've been keeping a low profile lately, isn't the other party still holding on and not letting go?"

"Don't say that you're afraid of death, let them be locked up for a few months, and when they go back, the ship will be scrapped, how will they go to sea in the future?"

Zhan Tianxiong rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"Blame them for being too soft, and if people ask you to stop the boat, you will stop the boat?"

"Gan Linniang, if you change the speed of 20 knots, you can't outrun them?"

"I can't run, and if I hit it headlong, I don't believe they dare to shoot."

"That's the exercise area, and it's possible to shoot."

"Drill, play a fart, just an excuse!"

Zhan Tianxiong didn't want to say more, turned his head and walked back to the ship's room.

In fact, he has always been a little indignant about the incident some time ago, in addition to the same sympathy and anger as most people, he also has some hatred for iron and steel.

It's all about begging for a living at sea, how can you be so soft?

Isn't that a disgrace to the fishermen and to the country?

Of course, he also knows that his idea is a bit extreme and is not recognized by most people, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal to complain a few words in private.

As the fishing net was gradually recovered, the speed of the 5170 gradually increased, Zhan Qiming also walked into the captain's room, the two looked at the chart, estimated that the receipt of this trip was enough, so they turned the bow of the ship and began to sail in the direction of return.

But at this moment, Zhan Tianxiong suddenly found that at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, a boat shadow suddenly appeared.

It was obviously not an ordinary fishing boat, but it was not like the island ship that Zhan Tianxiong had seen too much.

He frowned suspiciously, and asked Zhan Qiming:

"What kind of ship is this? Insular one? It's not like that! ”

Zhan Qiming shook his head and replied:

"It's not like. There was no flag in sight, and the radio didn't respond, not like their ship. ”

"Don't worry about it, let's go around, this thing must be a warship, don't get into trouble!"

"No, turn the rudder! Go up and have a look! ”

Zhan Tianxiong's heart jumped suddenly, and at this moment, he had an unprecedented impulse.

He knew that this impulse was irrational, but he just couldn't restrain himself.

This may also be a degree of paranoia-—— and this kind of reckless bigotry is indeed dangerous

Zhan Qiming on the side grabbed Zhan Tianxiong suddenly, compared to the latter, his mind was much clearer.

At that moment, the answer had actually popped out of his mind.

First of all, this can't be your own ship, if your own warship is active in this area, then your own ship should have been notified a long time ago.

Secondly, this is not an island ship either, their ship is not that big and does not look so flailing.

In that case, the answer is obvious.

As the two of them tugged and pulled, more ships began to poke out on the horizon in the distance.

And after seeing the behemoth surrounded in the middle, even Zhan Tianxiong had to calm down.

He recognized it, it was an aircraft carrier.

"Gan Lin Niang?!"

Zhan Tianxiong's voice trembled a little, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

But the facts are in front of him, and he can't believe it.

"What now?"

Zhan Qiming on the side asked.

Zhan Tianxiong gritted his teeth, the expression on his face was extremely entangled, but in the end, he still spoke:

"What else can I do. Run! ”

On July 12, the Reagan crossed the Ryukyu Islands and entered the waters off Akao Island.

Subsequently, it was announced that joint naval exercises would be organized in this area.

This is an unquestionable provocation.

At this time, another formation was still on the way
