Chapter 1059
Su Dingping's Ambitions: Building an Artificial Sun
"Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it."
"Tell me, did you see any of those high-caliber talents? All you saw were ordinary people, right? To put it bluntly, they were just a bunch of people hitching a ride."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. It seems even the media hasn't reported it, as if they've all collectively lost their memories. Have those media people forgotten that this incident was caused by Western countries detaining our high-ranking personnel?"
"That's simple. The authorities must have downplayed the severity of this incident. Those are all highly skilled individuals, urgently needed for national development!"
After this reminder, the military enthusiasts and netizens who were previously hurting each other instantly fell silent.
After some thought, they realized that this was indeed the case.
"Damn it, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have paid any attention to this matter. Those media outlets really didn't report on it at all."
"Don't even mention the media, I just searched the entire internet and there was no news about it, not even a single word appeared. It's as if they've just vanished."
"The fact that everything seems strange proves that the group of talents who returned to the country are outstanding and very important to the country. Otherwise, there would definitely be rumors circulating."
"Of course! The fact that the enemy is preventing them from returning home proves that bringing them back is the right thing to do. As I said before, whatever the enemy opposes, we must give our full support. Just do it!"
"The fact that the countries in the European maritime region are doing everything they can to prevent those highly skilled individuals from returning shows just how important they are. The reason they've all disappeared is definitely because the authorities are protecting them. If they were to travel all that way to bring them back, wouldn't all their efforts be wasted if enemy agents were to sabotage them?"
“That makes sense! No matter what, the imperialists have never given up their desire to destroy us, so we have to be on guard. But then again, their return won't affect the changes in enrollment; in any case, the number will still be somewhat less.”
"I'll let you in on a secret: I've already joined the Air Force. Just wait for my good news. I'm in great physical condition."
"You guys joined the Air Force, and everyone in our dorm, along with the two dorms next door, joined the Navy, hoping that one day we'll be of use in a war. Just wait for us to receive our official notices, and I'll definitely have one last get-together with my brothers then."
"You young people don't understand what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young. Is it necessary for you to bully the elderly here?"
"In the final analysis, the world belongs to you, young people, the ever-emerging young people, you are the hope of the country, the hope of the nation."
Whether on Tiexue Forum or other forums, there are more and more people discussing submitting resumes these days.
Excitement was evident in every word, as if it were Chinese New Year.
Whether they are military enthusiasts or ordinary netizens, almost everyone learned about the war that took place in the East China Sea through various channels. The Longxia Navy won, which naturally aroused their interest in signing up.
"Why think so much? We were young once too, weren't we? We're old now, but we can still do what we can, right? We have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. It's enough if we don't cause trouble for the country. And if we raise our children, they can bring glory to the country in the future, can't they?"
"The guy upstairs has a great vision! His words have really woken me up. I understand now, hahaha. I'll just make a few more then. After all, more children bring more blessings!"
"That's right, we should have more children and develop more productivity, that's also a contribution to the country."
As the news spread rapidly, discussions about the military recruitment plan increased, and countless people began submitting their resumes to the military, with many even flocking to local military recruitment offices.
Aside from ordinary people, the military recruitment office also opened a special channel for the returning high-level talents to ensure that they could successfully join the army and to ensure that not a single cockroach would be mixed in!
For those highly enthusiastic high-level talents returning from abroad, the Army, Navy, and Air Force will assign dedicated personnel to contact them to ensure that their talents can be fully utilized after joining the military!
Not only did the three branches of the armed forces contact them, but even some of the returning professionals were dispatched to the Rocket Force, a newly established unit.
The Rocket Force has now become a force on par with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, a force that truly possesses both nuclear and conventional strike capabilities. It is the nation's trump card and its ultimate asset!
In addition to the Rocket Force, the Strategic Support Force, which was established later, also recruited a number of high-level talents.
The Strategic Support Force is a truly high-tech branch of the armed forces. Its complexity and diversity place higher demands on personnel, even to the point of being demanding! After all, it encompasses all directions within the field of 'electronics,' such as electronic warfare and information warfare.
Currently in the initial stage of construction, a large number of highly qualified personnel are naturally needed.
At this stage, the first step of Su Dingping's new three-step strategy for the three armed forces was basically completed.
Although some parts are not yet fully completed, the second step has been successfully launched, and everything is going very smoothly.
The Rocket Force and the Strategic Support Force are key areas in the second phase of development!
The military will devote more resources to this and strengthen its development. It is believed that these two units will soon be transformed into a physically powerful and invincible force!
Time passed silently, and soon it was the 18th, evening!
Su Dingping, who had not made a public appearance for a long time, finally returned to his office and sat on the sofa drinking strong tea.
During this period, he remained in his personal laboratory.
In reality, he stayed in the military industry forging space, repeatedly conducting various experiments, and also conducting in-depth research on the most cutting-edge military technology papers.
He looked extremely haggard, with bloodshot eyes, but he was still very excited.
After this period of effort, the analysis of "pressurized water reactor technology" has progressed very rapidly and has reached the final sprint stage.
This is mainly due to previous technical accumulation, coupled with the risk of his life to go to the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, from which he gained more than 30% technical analysis bonus.
Another crucial point is that Su Dingping devoted himself entirely to this during this period, constantly analyzing the "pressurized water reactor technology" from all aspects.
He meticulously analyzed every aspect of core technologies, including materials, reactor design, and containment vessel construction, conducting repeated experiments and redesigning projects countless times.
After much effort, the analysis of "pressurized water reactor technology" has finally been advanced to 94% completion!
He also estimated that the remaining 6% would be completely analyzed by the end of April, allowing them to move on to the next phase of the upgrade.
Pressurized water reactor technology is currently usable, but it's not perfect. Nuclear fusion reactors represent the ultimate ideal power source. The nuclear fuel used in pressurized water reactors is primarily uranium-235, and Longxia is a uranium-depleted country, making it vulnerable to being held hostage in the future.
Therefore, it is imperative to vigorously promote technological breakthroughs in "nuclear fusion reactors." Su Dingping has already begun preliminary research and has developed initial ideas.
Once the "nuclear fusion reactor" technology matures, there will be no need to consider the terrifyingly large "pressurized water reactor technology," and it will provide strong support for the deployment of more powerful weapons and equipment on ships!
The key is that the fuel used in the "nuclear fusion reactor," whether it is protium or deuterium, can all be extracted from seawater, making it virtually inexhaustible.
What excites Su Dingping the most is that once nuclear fusion reactor technology matures, it can be used on various types of warships, thereby achieving permanent endurance.
Unlike now, where even the smallest warships need to be equipped with huge engines.
After achieving the relevant technological breakthroughs, Su Dingping's next plan is to develop the pressurized water nuclear reactor technology in the military industrial encyclopedia forging space.
Once the power level is broken through in the virtual space, Su Dingping will immediately manufacture it in the real world, and after running it for a period of time, it will be installed in the warship.
Currently, the lack of power is a bottleneck restricting the development of the Longxia Navy, and naturally, every effort must be made to overcome it. Once a breakthrough is achieved, the Navy will be able to rapidly advance the construction of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as well as the building of large warships.
Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered warships both require breakthroughs in pressurized water nuclear reactor technology.
Not only surface ships, but also underwater submarines are in urgent need.
Currently, the power of underwater nuclear submarines is still too weak, so they cannot travel long distances continuously and cannot directly deter the Eagle Tribe from near shore.
Strategic nuclear submarines naturally need to be placed near the enemy's doorstep so that nuclear weapons can be delivered to the enemy's territory as quickly as possible in the event of a nuclear counterattack!
In addition, insufficient power also limits the size of submarines. Strategic nuclear submarines, which are powerful weapons, have a tonnage of at least 10,000 tons, which requires a high-power pressurized water nuclear reactor.
Therefore, Su Dingping tirelessly engaged in scientific research.
With his current achievements, he feels that the effort was well worth it and that it makes him very happy.
"It'll be done soon. In another ten days or so, it will be basically finished."
Su Dingping swallowed the tea and felt much better. He then stood up and said, "We still need to work harder to break through this technology and then advance the construction of the nuclear fusion reactor."
"The warships of the future are destined to be all-electric propulsion, and ensuring the power infrastructure is the core of the warship!"
As he spoke, he stretched while standing by the window, feeling incredibly comfortable and relaxed!
"Dong dong!"
Just then, someone knocked on the door from the outside.
"Come in!"
Su Dingping called out, the door opened, and Wan Long strode in.
Upon seeing Su Dingping, Wan Long said excitedly, "Commander, you've finally come out of the laboratory."
Recently, he knew that Su Dingping was staying in the laboratory, and he even personally delivered his meals to him. He didn't even leave the room the rest of the time.
Su Dingping had specifically instructed that even if the sky were to fall, no one should disturb him, except for extremely important matters that required him to interrupt the experiment; otherwise, no one was allowed to come and disturb him.
Wanlong resolutely carried out the order and strengthened security measures to ensure that no outsiders would be allowed to disturb them!
That is precisely why, whether it was Army Chief Deng Zhenhua or Air Force Chief Ma Zhengbang, Wan Long had blocked them from meeting Su Dingping or even making a phone call!
Previously, Su Dingping personally visited the nuclear weapons base in Northwest China, which was well known to the leaders of the three armed forces.
In their view, Su Dingping and Qian Xuesen would definitely spend some time together. Su Dingping would surely gain a lot from their exchanges, and naturally, he would want to translate those gains into research results as soon as possible.
Neither Deng Zhenhua nor Ma Zhengbang bothered Su Dingping any further, knowing that their problems did not necessarily require Su Dingping's intervention.
In fact, the reason why Wanlong was able to arrive so quickly was simply because when Su Dingping walked out of the laboratory, the security personnel on duty outside immediately reported the situation to him, the security captain.
If he hadn't rushed over as quickly as possible, he feared that Su Dingping would simply rest for a while and then return to the lab to conduct experiments.
Many times, he felt really sorry for Su Dingping when he saw him working so hard.
He had seen many exceptionally talented people, but none were as exceptionally intelligent as Su Dingping, who also worked so hard that he didn't care about working 9 to 5 or 996.
Aside from eating and resting, the rest of the time was spent either on the way to the lab or conducting experiments.
"What do you need me for?"
Su Dingping looked at Wanlong with considerable curiosity, "Has something happened recently?"
That's right.
Wanlong took a deep breath and immediately reported the recent events: "Previously, Chief Deng of the Army wanted to come to our Army Research Base to inquire about the research progress of the Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missiles. He also wanted to meet you in person, but I turned him away."
"In addition, there's Air Force Chief Ma, who also wants to come to our air force base. It's about the Dark Sword-1 reconnaissance aircraft. By the way, the Dark Sword-1 has already been sent to the Navy's integrated military factory and air force research base for related research..."
At this point, Wanlong glanced at his notebook and continued, "By the way, Commander, there's a commendation ceremony for the three armed forces on the 18th. Commander Xu specifically notified you that you must attend." (End of Chapter)
