"The largest nuclear submarine in history was launched, why was it silent before?"

"Beyond the typhoon level, the real 'sea god'!"

"The scales at sea may be tilted as a result?"

"24 rounds of Great Wave-3? Unprecedented firepower! ”

After the news of the launch of the 096-class nuclear submarine was released, as Chen Nian expected, the tide of public opinion was even more turbulent than a tsunami.

But foreign countries are silent.

The reason is simple.

——

They don't know what to report.

To tout how strong this submarine is?

What's the point of that?

If in the past, such a backlash could have helped them cheat more money from the authorities, now the situation is completely different.

Huaxia really got to that point.

What's more, it is very likely to become the owner of all mankind.

Under the premise of the deteriorating economic environment, all capital is counting on the super strong expectation of nuclear fusion to overdraw more trust.

They have no other choice.

The taxes have been received in 2023, and if you don't continue to receive them in 2050, what else can you do?

You can't declare official bankruptcy and abdicate to make way for Xian, right?

——

Of course, abdication and making way for virtuous is just an illusion, as long as the attributes of capital remain unchanged, the power is only changed from one family to another.

Therefore, now all countries have basically reached a consensus.

Since you can't be objective, it's better not to look at it at all.

Blindfolded, all good illusions can still exist.

However, such a "blindfold" can only be aimed at the most ordinary people.

At the top, policymakers remain extremely vigilant.

in the office.

Bob sat with many of his aides, analyzing the latest reports from the front-line intelligence services.

Judging from the intelligence data we have at hand, the size of this submarine has reached at least 200 meters, and its displacement is more than 50,000 tons, which has exceeded the highest record of the typhoon class."

"At this point, the other party's report is not mixed with any water."

"In addition, the new reactor mentioned in the report is likely to refer to the thorium-based lava reactor, which Huaxia has done for a long time and should have achieved corresponding results."

"We can't be sure of the exact power of these two turbines, but conservative estimates are that it should be above 500 megawatts."

"This means that the maximum diving speed of this submarine must be higher than 25 knots."

"At the same time, this submarine uses an integrated electric propulsion system, which has excellent silent performance, and the specific decibel number is not available for the time being, but it is certain that it must be far lower than the 120 decibels of 094."

"Taken together, this submarine has taken the lead in all aspects – there is no doubt about this and it will be the basis for our next discussion."

"Now, I'm going to ask a question, and I'll ask you to think about it before you answer it."

"How the hell did they do it?"

After saying that, Bob looked around, quietly waiting for everyone's answer.

In fact, he didn't expect anyone to be able to say the answer directly-—— which was obviously impossible.

What he needs to establish is an atmosphere of discussion, a state in which everyone thinks hard and tries to find clues.

And these highly professional think tank members did not disappoint him, and only a few seconds after his words fell, someone spoke:

"We need to first disassemble their technology and figure out where their technology comes from."

"There are too many cutting-edge technologies in the design of this submarine, such as the floating raft shock absorption, the double-layer compression-resistant hull, the ship's comprehensive power, the new reactor, and even the hull coating, which seems to be different from what we used to know."

"Among them, the integrated electrical system and reactor technology are traceable, and the former has been applied to the Jianhai-class destroyers and has become an important support for shipborne electromagnetic guns."

"The latter is the result of years of experimentation."

"But the question is, what about the other technologies?"

"It's like the technology came out of nowhere, and it didn't give us a reaction at all."

"Of course, there isn't any intelligence system that can catch clues before these technologies appear."

At this, the think tank member paused for a moment.

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something new.

It's weird-—— including their all-nitrogen anion salts, metallic hydrogen technology."

"These two technologies are the most typical, and as a relatively open scientific research direction, we can say that we are well aware of their progress."

"According to previous estimates, it will take at least 10 years for them to form a breakthrough."

"But the truth is, it took them less than a year."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Yes, this problem is not the first time it has been discovered today.

In fact, all those who have followed the technological progress of Huaxia have paid attention to this strange phenomenon.

A long time ago, there was a view that there was a separate department within Huaxia that specialized in R&D in key areas, but this view gradually lost its attention after the emergence of the China Democratic Development Office.

Or should I say that most people's focus is deliberately directed and diverted.

Even though they had obtained some information before, and even got the name "Xinghuo", under great pressure, Congress only regarded Xinghuo as a technical support department of the DAD.

Available now.

The situation seems to be more complicated.

So, does this fabled sector really exist, and not just exists, but continues to play an incredible role?

What kind of situation was this "Spark" set up and how did it operate?

Bob's brow furrowed tightly, and his fingers involuntarily tapped lightly on the table.

After thinking for a long time, he spoke:

"We have to pay attention."

"In the past, we were so confident in our capabilities that we even slashed the budget of the intelligence system."

"I admit that this wrong decision has something to do with me in part."

"But it's okay, it's not too late."

"We have to figure out where those technologies are really coming from."

"Only by doing this will it be possible for us to block the other side's further technological explosion in a real sense and slow down the speed at which they can widen the gap between us and us."

"How?"

Someone in the crowd asked.

Bob shook his head and replied:

"We don't have any shortcuts – we need to sort out the list of people for all these projects, and then put together all the relationships and find where they overlap."

"If the point of convergence points to someone who doesn't exist, to an institution that doesn't exist, or if there is no point at all, and instead there's an obvious breakpoint"

"It could also mean that we're really fighting a mysterious enemy."

"And this enemy may be even more powerful than imagined."

The other side.

Bloomberg's recent days can be described as very comfortable.

Since the last time he got the information about metallic hydrogen materials with the help of bangs, his position within the organization has simply skyrocketed.

It can even be said that he avoided a war that threatened to destroy humanity and saved the whole world in disguise.

Even his peers have to marvel at his cleverness, wisdom, and boldness.

And his superiors praised him even more, in addition to the generous treatment within the promise, they also gave him additional privileges and conveniences far beyond his previous rank.

Bloomberg is extremely satisfied with this, and he is more and more dedicated to his work.

However, he may not realize that what he has achieved now is only the last glory before the end.

In his office, Bloomberg closed his encrypted computer, and just now, he bought a luxury property in Mississippi with a reward from his superiors, intending to retire directly after his last assignment and start enjoying life for real.

The assistant on the side was sorting out the briefing he had just received and explaining the content of the briefing to him.

"This time the task is quite difficult, the corner tower and the May will be jointly operated, and so far, more than 100 people have been confirmed to participate in the operation."

"It can be said that this is the largest joint operation that we have organized overseas in almost 20 years."

"MI5 and the Federal Intelligence Service will also cooperate with the operation and share the whole process."

"Our goal is to find direct evidence of the existence of that mysterious agency within one month, and to determine its basic organizational framework and operation within two months."

"It would have been nice to have access to key people – but I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"In addition, the principle of this operation is relatively flexible, and the green light list has been issued, which you can check later."

"Okay."

Bloomberg replied briefly.

At this time, he was still immersed in the fantasy of retiring, and he didn't care much about the words of his assistant, including the task itself.

Huge scale? Lots of people involved?

If it had been before, he might have been excited, after all, this kind of project would be a great opportunity to make a difference.

But now, his mind has changed.

He doesn't need more achievements, as long as he gets through the last time honestly, he will be greeted with an incomparably better life.

——

Of course, out of his professionalism and respect for his superiors, he still has to participate in the project.

Even if it's paddling, you have to paddle it decently.

So, he took the document from his assistant and flipped to the green light list first.

The so-called green light list refers to the list of various equipment and strategies that can be used in the mission process, and the role of the list is to avoid redundant command in the mission process, and of course, it is also to ensure that the overall boundary of the mission is controllable.

It's easy to understand that you can't go on a killing spree in the city center just to snatch a hello kitty, you can't have all the nuclear weapons on your head, and you don't want to torture you if you abide by that set of so-called humanitarian principles.

Although Bloomberg rarely participates in the high-intensity confrontation in the war zone, he is no stranger to it.

And when he went through the entire list, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Is this a business war between law-abiding multinationals? No, even a business war is dirtier than that."

Hearing his slightly sarcastic ridicule, the assistant on the side nodded helplessly and replied:

"Yes, this list is contradictory."

"On the one hand, it can mobilize a high level of equipment, personnel, and strategy, which is the ceiling of almost all operations."

"But on the other hand, it's surprisingly clean, restricting almost all the tactics that could cause trouble."

"Perhaps this can be considered a degree of caution. The superiors want the answer, but they don't want to cause a more difficult problem to solve because of this answer. ”

"Understood."

Bloomberg nodded slightly and continued:

"It's not hard to understand the fact - in short, you can't use all the strategies that can kill you, right?"

"That's right."

The assistant nodded and replied approvingly.

"I'm not the kind of person who is keen on violence"

Bloomberg said with some smugness.

Then, he continued to look through the briefing, which was not unfamiliar to him, but when he finished reading the entire report, he suddenly frowned.

A mysterious organization with sudden technological advancements.

When was the earliest leapfrog technological progress in China that the world came into contact with?

J-22, right?

For this fighter, Bloomberg can be said to be impressed.

After all, at that time, he was still working on the Senas project, and his life was easy and leisurely.

But not long after, the J-22 was born, and with it, a full-scale blow to the Senas system, and he really tasted the frustration.

How was that plane built?

This is a question that Bloomberg has always been unable to figure out.

Is the technical strength of Factory 601 so strong?

impossible

They must have received some kind of technical assistance, and the question now was to find the source of the technical assistance.

Contrary to the thinking of its superiors, Bloomberg does not intend to adopt the so-called "big data analysis method".

In his opinion, the data is all fake, and it can be carefully designed.

People, only people are absolutely uncontrollable things.

No matter how strict the rules are and how clever the strategy is, people will always make mistakes.

As long as you find that little bit of error, you can find a breakthrough.

Let's start with the question of "people" according to your own ideas.

Bloomberg leaned back in his chair, his mind flashing back to memories of seven years ago.

He tried to expand the keyword "603" as much as possible and find its connection with other elements.

This kind of thinking is closer to intuition, and it is on this intuition that Bloomberg has sifted through an unusual spot in just a few minutes.

Western University of Technology.

Yes, the pace of development of this university in recent years, especially the development of spacecraft majors, seems to be a little too fast.

Most likely, it is somehow connected with the 601 Institute, with the J-22 project.

That is, it also has a connection to that mysterious department.

Bloomberg immediately became excited.

That's a breakthrough.

Compared with those highly confidential research institutions, a university will obviously have more flaws
