Chapter 445: The Star Wars Project Born in the Last Century

The Xingchen Technology headquarters located in Baoshan is deserted. Except for the Security Department and a small number of colleagues who are left behind in the company, they cannot even see their personal shadows. The largest hardware department and software department have already been on holiday.

When Musk announced the Starlink plan and challenged Xingchen Technology, An Ran asked Luo Jia whether to end the vacation early and summon the troops back.

Luo Jia rejected this proposal and smiled and said Zheng Banqiao's famous saying, "It's still strong after thousands of blows, no matter how winds east, west, south and north!"

Just kidding, as the most powerful scientific research legion on earth, Xingchen Technology has no even the concentration, so how can it be in this world?

So, after Musk was arrogant for half a month, the strongest group of Chinese technology gathered slowly. As usual, all the members of the brainstorming group arrived and sat in the highest conference room, waiting for Luo Jia's orders.

Luo Jia, who walked onto the stage, looked around and found that many people were tanned.

Before the Spring Festival, Luo Jia sent an email to all colleagues, hoping that they would go out for more during the holidays, see this world that has been changed by themselves, and talk about their own feelings after they come back, and think about what they can do for this world.

"Who will tell you what you see and what you think about this holiday first?" Luo Jia was not in a hurry to assign tasks to everyone, and asked on the stage with a smile.

"I'll do it." Dr. Ling Feng, who has always been optimistic, stood up. "I went to North America during the Spring Festival. Yes, I went to the enemy's base camp. There is nothing strange about it. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated."

Everyone burst into laughter. Dr. Ling Feng is almost sixty years old, and his adventurous spirit is still the same as before, and he is more enterprising than most young people.

"According to my observation, North America has changed a lot, but this change is not a subversive nature. It is just that the number of high-end products from China is increasing. For example, our electric cars, our mobile phones and computers. By the way, it should be mentioned that the next-generation mobile phones and computers sold in North America are 990% of the smuggled goods, and the authorities can't even receive a penny of tax. They are also very troubled. If this continues, North America is afraid of becoming a smuggling power."

Everyone laughed and thought Dr. Ling Feng's statement was very interesting, but then again, the result of not opening up the import of electronic products is not just a large amount of smuggling, which is an irresistible economic law.

Dr. Zhang Yuechuan from the Department of Optics said: "The places I go to are different, and the feelings are very different. During the Spring Festival, I went to Japan and South Korea and found that the impact in East Asia is quite serious."

"The first thing that was dumped in South Korea was the shipbuilding industry. Hyundai and Daewoo's shipyards have been shut down. Now in Busan, the shipbuilding center, there are unemployed workers drunk and drunken workers everywhere. High-end restaurants have closed down one after another. Roadside wine stalls that provide kimchi, instant noodles and cheap spirits are popular."

"The most expensive dish in the roadside wine stall is pork neck meat. After cutting a thin slice, stewed kimchi soup. The price is not expensive, but no one buys it. Most people only have edamame and kimchi, and at most a piece of fried tofu is added."

Zhang Yuechuan's description is quite detailed, a dark and declining heavy industrial city unfolds in everyone's mind.

Unemployed IT elites can come to China for a meal, but for shipbuilders and sailors, unemployment is like a nightmare. With the collapse of the economy, it is not easy to find a new position.

Shipbuilding, shipping, steel, automobiles, as South Korea's pillar industries collapsed one after another, the country is quickly returning to their original historical status.

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, watching TV and news reports is far better than experiencing it yourself. This is why Luo Jia suggested that everyone go out for more trips. Now it seems that the results are significant, and everyone has a lot of feelings when they come back after the New Year.

Wei Jianing of Xingchen Software Group thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have really changed the world. The technology we developed has been integrated into all aspects of life. People are using our technology when they eat, sleep, and call and complain!"

After talking about the holiday experience, everyone looked at Luo Jia, and saw him stand up from his seat and pull out the huge whiteboard that had been prepared, as well as a bold red and black ink pen.

The brainstorming team immediately cheered up. A new journey was about to begin. If nothing unexpected happens, the aerospace department of Star Technology will soon emerge to meet the challenges from across the Pacific.

A confident expression appeared on everyone's faces. Since its establishment, Xingchen Technology has not failed, so everyone is full of confidence in the future. They think that Musk must be confused and actually asked Xingchen Technology if he dared to fight?

The tough guy group knows a lot, but they just don’t know what fear means!

Luo Jia saw the disdainful expression on everyone's faces, frowned slightly, then stretched her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It seems that everyone is very confident. Indeed, although we have never been involved in the aerospace field, we have good technical reserves in this field."

"For example, Cao Yuan's graphene preparation technology, Musk's Falcon Rocket uses stainless steel. If we use graphene, the performance will definitely be much ahead of them, which is basically considered a dimensionality reduction blow."

"In addition, we also have ultrasonic motors, battery reserve technology, laser technology, electromagnetic technology, optical induction technology, third-generation artificial intelligence technology, etc.."

"These technologies are important trump cards for us. I dare not say that there are no ones who come later, at least they are unprecedented. Even if they throw them to the West and ask them to do reverse engineering, they will not be able to copy them."

"However, I wonder if you have thought about it. We have so many trump cards, why does Musk still dare to challenge so arrogantly? And from the perspective of behavioral analysis, Musk obviously did it on purpose. It seems that what he is worried about is not that we are angry, but that we are not angry."

The conference room was silent, and everyone fell into deep thought and recalled carefully along Luo Jia's words. Everyone remembered the smile on the corner of their mouths when Musk pointed to the east, which was quite like an old fox. Could it be that there was something hidden behind Musk's arrogance?

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "On March 23, 1983, the Star Wars plan was officially put on the agenda. We cannot forget how great is North America's leading advantage in aerospace? When North America decided to develop space-based weapons, half of the people in this office, including me, were not born yet."

"Some people say that the trillion-dollar Star Wars plan itself is a scam, consumed huge resources from the former Soviet Union and eventually led to the disintegration of the bear."

"Although Star Wars conspiracy theory has a very popular market among the people, reason tells us that no, the Star Wars plan is by no means a scam. The reason why scams are popular is just because some people hope we think it is a scam!"

"Just like for many years, the Great V and the public intellectuals have spared no effort to build North America into a human beacon, public opinion and culture have always been the end of all hegemony. In the past, we did not pay attention to propaganda and cultural aggression and suffered great losses. Therefore, in the future, we must be more cautious in distinguishing what is fact and what is the so-called fact that others want us to believe!"

Luo Jia's words were obviously thoughtful. During the holiday period, he was not idle. In addition to studying, Luo Jia also thought deeply and analyzed every sentence and every action of Musk.

Sure enough, Luo Jia's words caused a huge sensation.

Assuming the Star Wars plan is not a scam?

This assumption is really terrifying. No one dares to speculate how many years North America's technical reserves in the aerospace field are ahead of China. Even if the Star Wars plan is only half completed, its technological content is enough to be far away from China a century.

"Mr. Luo, do you take it seriously?"

"How is that possible! If the Star Wars plan exists, wouldn't the North American authorities have the ability to build space-based weapons?"

"I'm going, I dare not think about it. When I think of the four words "Sky-based weapons", I feel so angry."

Everyone was talking about it, not because they were afraid, but because the Star Wars plan was really a bit terrifying. Only the ignorant people were fearless. The brainstorming group with scientific literacy was too clear about the power of advanced technology. Many times, having technology was something that could do whatever they wanted.

Luo Jia said lightly: "Let me give a simple example. You may know that developing space-based weapons requires efficient and low-cost carriers. North America launched triangular fast sails in the 1990s, launched a space experimental aircraft from x34 to x40, and the earliest recyclable launch vehicle K-1."

"Later, Dr. Wolm, the chief scientist in charge of the K-1 program, jumped from Kartillery to Blue Origin, and developed the Shepard Rockets we see today."

"To a certain extent, the Star Wars plan has never ended, but has appeared in the world in another way, including the Shepard Rockets, the Patriot 3 missiles, and the THAAD system. They are all derivatives of the Star Wars plan."

"I have a detailed survey here, which counts the completion of each subsystem in the Star Wars plan. Now I send it to your office mailbox. Please take time to take a look after it when you go back."

After saying that, Luo Jia pressed Enter on his laptop and sent the email to everyone. The content of this email was roughly like this.

The external atmosphere intercept system, referred to as Eris, is responsible for the enterprise, Lockheed Martin.

On January 28, 1991, ERIS's first interception test was carried by the Aries missile of Orbital Science Company. At an altitude of 270 kilometers, the two collided at a speed of 13.4 kilometers per second. The RV was successfully destroyed and the test was successful.

As of May 19, 1994, Eris conducted four tests, three of which were successful, because it can be inferred that North America has the ability to intercept targets outside the atmosphere, with an interception altitude of more than 500 kilometers.

Outer-atmosphere kill vehicle system, referred to as the ekv plan for short.

The project was established in October 1990 and was given to Martin respectively.

Marietta, Hughes Missile, Rockwell, three companies released project packages, and then in the first round of competition in 1995, Martin.

Marietta's plan was eliminated.

Next, on June 24, 1997 and January 16, 1998, the NMD flight comprehensive test, ift-1 and ift-2 projects were conducted respectively. Based on the results, Raytheon defeated Boeing and became the main contractor of the GBI missile ekv part.

There are many similar contents. After reading this email, everyone expressed shock. I don’t know where Luo Jia got this information. If the information is true, the Star Wars plan, which includes thousands of sub-projects, will probably be far beyond the world’s perception.

Due to costs and the disintegration of North America's main rival, the Soviet Union, more than 90% of these pioneering scientific research results have not been put into use and are stored in the Nasa database. Only personnel and funds are required, and the blueprint can be realized immediately.
