Spark

After the new year, Chen Nian's life is back on track.

This year, he still did not come home.

He has not been home for nearly four years since he left home to go to NPU to study.

In fact, the organization once persuaded him to go home and have a look. After all, in the past four years, his hometown has changed a lot.

Moreover, a considerable part of these changes was due to Chen Nian.

But after thinking about it, he still chose to refuse.

The reason is simple. With his current status and security level, it is really troublesome to go home once.

It's better to go home and explain clearly to your parents after you finish your studies, you will finally determine your future destination and the city where you will live.

At that time, it is basically time to have a showdown with your parents.

After all, it is impossible to hide one's identity for a lifetime. They must be made aware of the importance of their work to a certain extent in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.

——

But now, it's not the time.

Sitting at his desk, Chen Nian listed a series of his future plans and tasks on the paper.

For him, there are three most important jobs now.

The first one is to continue to complete the analysis of metal hydrogen technology.

Once this technology is born, in a very short period of time, it will have a huge impact on the energy structure of the entire China, and even the entire world. The old energy hegemony will be broken, and in the process of establishing a new order, China will be the only frontrunner.

With such a leading position, Huaxia can also obtain more benefits and lay a solid foundation for the entire country to move into the future.

This will be a major change unseen in a thousand years.

Human beings have never slackened in pursuing the lofty and difficult goal of "power".

From human power at the beginning to animal power, water power, and fire power later, this process has actually transformed from the simple use of "natural force" to the use of "chemical force" and "physical force".

The understanding of the law is deepened step by step, and the utility produced is also enhanced step by step.

Maybe one day, human beings will surpass the "rules" and start to "reform" the rules?

I really don't know what human society will look like by that time.

Chen Nian couldn't help being fascinated, even with the blessing of the system, he didn't know if he could see that day.

Chen Nian sighed, and continued to look at the next important task.

His second task is to promote the rapid development of the Deep Blue 16 project.

At this time, the H-20 has already taken off, and the new generation of early warning aircraft has also started under the leadership of the 603 Institute. This project does not need to participate too much due to the heavy technical accumulation in the early stage.

So on the whole, the three giants of the Air Force, fighter jets, bombers, and early warning aircraft are all ready, and the transport aircraft has no technical difficulty for China now.

The entire air force's modern combat system has been completed, and the next thing to do is to start developing near-future weapons.

However, this matter is not in a hurry.

After all, compared to the rapidly developing air force, the current navy can almost be said to be muddy legs

Therefore, Chen Nian intends to devote more energy to the navy, first to get the goal of making dumplings.

To accomplish this goal, we must use the Deep Blue 16 project as a springboard.

An aircraft carrier must be developed. In the process of developing an aircraft carrier, the radiation effect of the project can also be used to develop large ships.

055 big drive, it's time to go into the water.

——

No, since it's done by yourself, it can't just be 055.

What really needs to be built is a super warship belonging to China.

Of course, in addition to surface ships, those big black fish underwater can also be upgraded

The goal of this mission is clear, but the path is not.

Chen Nian plans to take advantage of the school holidays to go to Dalyan Shipyard, have a good chat with the engineers there, and face up to the gap.

After writing down the schedule, Chen Nian continued to look at the third task.

This task is the most important, but the success rate is hard to say how much.

Because the issues involved in this task are too complex and too broad

He braced himself for the impending disaster of 2008.

In fact, before that, he started the Yishan project with great fanfare, because he wanted to lay a solid technical foundation for 2008.

But the problem is that in the face of such a major disaster, it is definitely not possible to solve the problem only by rescue and reconstruction after the event.

"Prophecy" is a choice that absolutely does not require hesitation, and it is impossible for officials to ignore their own predictions.

But even if the disaster is known in advance, how to avoid it?

You know, the area affected by that disaster reached 500,000 square kilometers, and even if we only talk about the hardest-hit areas that have seriously affected life, the area reached 130,000 square kilometers.

What is this concept?

Half of the province is a disaster area, and the number of people who have lost their homes has reached 20 million.

Throughout history, disasters of this level rarely occur, and even officials do not have much experience in dealing with them.

Should we evacuate without abandoning our homes, or try to use engineering means to weaken the damage caused by the earthquake?

It's not easy to make a choice, and even if you make a choice, you may not be able to implement it in place.

It's time to talk to your superiors about this.

In one year, as long as you concentrate your strength, there are still many things you can do.

After sorting out all his key tasks, Chen Nian finally had a bottom line in his mind.

Although it seems that every task is time-critical, but when it is split down, the difficulty is generally not too high.

It is still within the scope covered by the current national strength.

That pass is on my side.

Can the accumulation of source points catch up with the speed of things?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian opened the system interface.

At this time, the number of source points in his hand has reached an astonishing 182 points. Compared with the days when he was struggling for 1 source point four years ago, he has already gotten rid of poverty and become prosperous.

But embarrassingly, the source consumption required by the new technology has also increased.

Not to mention the gold-swallowing monster metal hydrogen, the fourth-generation ship technology he is looking at is not cheap.

A complete analysis of all the techniques of 055D will cost him more than 20 points.

As for the new big black fish, if it wants to compete with the Ohio class, it needs more than 30 points.

Moreover, Chen Nian is not satisfied with the existing technology.

He intends to make some more advanced upgrades on the basis of these technologies.

Lin Lin finally figured it out, and estimated that he would have to purchase 80 points less.

Chen Nian couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

——

But so what?

Huabei.

In this world, there is always no money.

As long as the large drive and the submarine are done, superimposed on the carrier-based aircraft that has been prepared for a long time, and some new sea-based missiles, our own aircraft carrier battle group will basically take shape.

At that time, the great cause of crossing the world can also be said to have officially kicked off.

However, Chen Nian is still more inclined to squeeze the wool out of the system as much as possible, rather than directly analyzing it regardless.

Anyway, let's go to Dalian first.

If you can save a little bit, it's a little bit, thrift makes a revolution

Two days later, Chen Nian arrived at the legendary Dalian Shipyard by special plane.

He thought that this "business trip" would be as normal as usual, but what he didn't expect was that the person who came to pick him up was actually Mr. Liu.

Compared with the last time we met, the old man's body was already weaker, and he even had an oxygen tube inserted in his nose. Just a simple movement of standing up almost exhausted all his strength.

But he still held Chen Nian's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice:

"Xiao Nian, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chen Nian hurriedly beckoned him to get back in the car, then got in the car and sat down quickly, and closed the door.

——

The temperature in Dalian in February was very low. He wondered if this old man could still withstand such a temperature.

"Old Liu, you really don't have to come here in person."

"Originally, when I came here, the first thing I did was to report to you."

"Come, you must come."

Elder Liu said firmly.

"Xiao Nian, you did a good job."

"I read the news about H-20. I also watched the Spring Festival Gala this year."

"I don't have anything else to say, just a word, strive for success!"

"Our older generation always talk about keeping a low profile and striving for progress while maintaining stability. In fact, we also understand that there is nothing we can do about it."

"It's all right now, with the strategic bomber, we finally don't have to hide it."

"It's all thanks to you, don't say I'm here to accept you, even if you want me, an old man, to bow to you, I'm fine with it!"

Hearing this, Chen Nian was shocked. He held Elder Liu's hand and said with a wry smile:

"Old Liu, I really can't stand it if you say that."

"I just made a small contribution, and the real deal is still our front-line engineers"

"Don't say stereotypes, just do what you want, just do what you want!"

Old Liu said seriously.

Afterwards, he seemed to be affected by the cold wind before, and coughed uncontrollably.

The medical staff on the side quickly patted him on the back, and finally slowed down, Mr. Liu couldn't wait to say to Chen Nian:

"Xiao Nian, when you come here this time, the focus will be shifted later, right?"

"The air force's combat system is basically complete. Next, is it necessary to make up for the gap in the navy?"

Chen Nian nodded slightly.

For such an older generation of strategic-level scientists, their own plan is actually not difficult to understand.

However, he did not confirm directly, but cautiously added:

"The general direction is to make up for the gap in the navy. Aircraft carriers, fourth-generation ships, new submarines, and new missiles are all goals."

"However, I didn't intend to just leave the Air Force alone."

"The long board cannot be abandoned. We will launch the near-future equipment plan in the future to further widen the gap."

"But how to do it specifically still needs to be carefully considered."

Elder Liu nodded in agreement, and said:

"This way of thinking is correct. The foundation of the Air Force is relatively strong now, so we can't just let it go."

"There is still a long way to go, and we need to go further."

"What are you going to do? Although I am from the navy, I have some opinions about the air force, which may help me."

"Fortress-style aerial platforms, bombers with long range and high self-sustainability, integrated air-space fighters, and unmanned fighters, these are the basic ideas at present."

"It's not easy to realize."

Elder Liu said with emotion, and then, after thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Your thinking is correct. In essence, these directions are all developing from the 'combat power improvement'."

"But I also have an idea, you can listen to it for now."

"That is, the deterrence has increased."

"Increased deterrence?"

Chen Nian repeated it subconsciously, and in just a moment, he figured out what Old Liu meant.

That's right, the fortress-style air platform enhances the firepower projection capability, the long-range bomber enhances the counterattack capability, and the aerospace integrated fighter enhances the defense penetration capability, while unmanned is to reduce costs and increase strike density in disguise. .

Fundamentally speaking, although these directions can indirectly improve military deterrence, none of them directly make a fuss about deterrence itself.

This is not quite in line with China's current strategic requirements, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is not as high as expected.

But if we want to increase the deterrence, how should we do it?

He looked at Mr. Liu, who smiled and said:

"You don't need to look at me, think for yourself first."

"I do have some ideas here, but they are not too mature."

"After two days, if you have a preliminary direction, come and talk to me."

"Otherwise, I will tell you my thoughts now, and I am worried that you will be influenced by me and preconceived"

"Understood."

Chen Nian nodded solemnly.

The strategy of "increasing deterrence" proposed by Mr. Liu has already planted the seeds in his heart, and it may not be long before it will bear fruit

Skipping this topic, the two did not immediately talk about the ongoing Deep Blue 16 project, but casually chatted about some life and study matters.

It wasn't until the special car stopped in front of the shipyard's office, and the two walked into the office and sat down, that Old Liu said:

"Xiao Nian, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, as you know, I don't have much time."

"Let's talk about your plans for this visit."

"How about it, is it coming for the aircraft carrier, or do you have other ideas?"

"Just taking a look at the aircraft carrier in passing, the main purpose is something else."

"Frigate?"

Elder Liu asked briefly.

"Destroyer, that's what I told you, the fourth-generation ship."

"I plan to spend about a month to export the relevant technologies of the fourth-generation ship, and within two years, build our first fourth-generation ship."

If someone else said such a thing in front of Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu would probably kick him out directly.

You know, this is 2007.

The first 052C ship was officially commissioned in September 2005, and it is already the most advanced destroyer in China.

Under such a technical background, some people actually said that they would build a fourth-generation ship within two years?

Isn't this wishful thinking?

But Mr. Liu knew that in front of Chen Nian, there was no such thing as wishful thinking.

He already knew the strength of this young man well.

So, he just nodded indifferently, and asked:

"So anxious, are you preparing for the aircraft carrier formation?"

"Are you planning to complete the preparations for the battle group at the same time the aircraft carrier is launched?"

"That's right!"

Chen Nian answered decisively.

Hearing his answer, Elder Liu had a look of approval on his face.

He clapped his hands violently and said:

"good!"

"We fully support it."

"Since you have this plan, then we will follow you!"

"From now on, we will put the fourth-generation large-scale drive project on the agenda!"

"In the future, for our Deep Blue 16 project, we will use the big drive to clear the way and sprint at full speed!"
