Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grievances Chapter 7 Conceptual Change

The Times, a subsidiary of the Western media giant Murdoch, used 72 front pages and 1 page, totaling more than 2.7 million words, to make a comprehensive analysis and speculation on the "Yanhuang Plan" of the Republic, claiming that the plan is the largest and most far-reaching national strategic scientific research plan in human history, with far more significance than the "Manhattan Project" and the "Apollo Plan", and will have a major impact on the life and work of all people in decades or even hundreds of years, and fundamentally change the structure of human society. Changing the way people live. [Full text reading]

Through this series of reports, the Times's physical and electronic sales soared by 1,500%.

It was this series of reports that brought the republic's "Yanhuang Plan" to the surface.

In order to find out the situation, the Military Intelligence Bureau was busy for more than half a year, and finally learned that Tang Ningwei (Chinese name, transliterated should be Thomas Mashi), a senior editor of the Times and the editor-in-chief of the series, used tens of millions of dollars to bribe a senior intelligence officer who had been in contact with the "Independence Day Project" (a US national strategic scientific research program led by the Alamos Laboratory, focusing on power technology and new material technology, similar to the "Yanhuang Project") and was later transferred to the CIA's European Division, to obtain the CIA's mastery." Yanhuang Project" intelligence. After betraying the intelligence, the CIA's senior intelligence officers were steamed. At the end of 2026, the Military Intelligence Agency learned that the CIA had deliberately revealed relevant information to the media in order to spy on the reality of the Republic.

Thankfully, the MIA did not overreact.

At that time, Li Cunxun felt very strange, why did the tabloid get such important and "detailed" information? After Zhao Rundong ordered an investigation, Li Cunxun asked agents to secretly spy on Tang Ningwei without taking further action. If I hadn't calmed down at that time, I am afraid that I would have fallen into the trap of the CIA.

After the "Yanhuang Plan" was exposed, there were both places and benefits.

In 2026, Rundong announced part of the "Yanhuang Plan" to the senior leaders of Heguo.

In the financial forecast of the affected year, the "Yanhuang Plan" will be allocated.

Calculated the classified budget and the budget under the name of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the total investment of the "Yanhuang Plan" was high that year

up to 2180. Year-on-year growth. In the middle of Wang Yuanqing's reign, the government separately applied for 1,170 yuan of scientific research funds for the "Yanhuang Plan". In the end, 1240 was awarded for other types of grants. Total investment. This represents a year-on-year increase of 31%.

For researchers participating in the "Yanhuang Project". That's certainly a good thing.

Additions. It can not only speed up the development progress. Hiring more researchers can improve the benefits package. Don't say anything else. At the end of 2026 (actually before the Spring Festival in 2027), researchers will receive year-end bonuses ranging from 1 to 250,000 yuan. To recognize the great contributions made by scientific researchers to the country.

The Western news media did a lot of help.

The Times knows only what it looks like. I don't know what's going on. Although the report clearly mentioned that the composite battery, superconducting motor, fusion nuclear power plant, high-strength alloy, wear-resistant alloy, and polymer carbon fiber composite materials that were opened by Heguo after 2012 all came from the "Yanhuang Project". However, there is no mention of anything related to the third phase of the "Yanhuang Project" scientific research project. It shows that the Western media, and even the CIA|" The "Yan Huang Plan" is very little understood.

The third phase of scientific research projects is mainly focused on the field of electronic information. To be precise. Mainly theoretical research.

The three main projects are: the basic theory of quantum computer, the theory of neural network computer system, and the theory of laser communication technology. From these three main projects, dozens of sub-projects including materials, energy, control, computers, etc., are derived, and each sub-project has an independent application field. For example, the "full-band electromagnetic interference and deception technology" based on laser communication technology has obvious application nature, and it has been fully developed by the military.

In mid-2026, the third phase of scientific research projects will basically be completed.

Except for quantum computers, which are still in the theoretical research stage because of the difficulty of practical application, the research work of other projects has made significant progress, and more than 20 sub-projects of the military have all been successfully completed, and some will enter the engineering experiment stage by the end of 2026.

After Wang Yuanqing came to power, the fourth phase of the scientific research project was officially launched.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the fourth phase of the scientific research project, Wang Yuanqing also made a special trip to visit Pan Yunsheng and persuaded the 65-year-old former director of the Military Intelligence Bureau to go to the Northwest Physics Experiment Center to serve as the project director.

Needless to say, Pan Yunsheng is the ideal project leader. The "Yanhuang Project" was born in his hands, and he personally led the first phase of scientific research projects, laying a solid foundation for scientific research projects such as composite batteries, superconducting motors and fusion reactors. Although Pan Yunsheng is not a scientific researcher, it was he who was active in the beginning and persuaded Ji Youguo to set up the "Yanhuang Project" group, so it is not an exaggeration to call him the father of the "Yanhuang Project".

As the head of the country, Wang Yuanqing can be regarded as a rare and valuable person who can ask about scientific research work every week.

Li Cunxun did not participate in the research work of the project, but was responsible for the safety work including personnel audit, and was very aware of the importance of the fourth phase of the research project.

Among the major scientific research projects that have been confirmed, the "third stage of composite batteries" is the most important.

As early as 2025, that is, when the third phase of scientific research is about to end, the Physics Experiment Center has successfully manufactured the first 18-level composite battery, which is one step closer to completing the 24-level composite battery required for the "third phase of the national strategic defense system project".

How important is a grade 18 composite battery?

According to the grading standard of composite battery, each level of improvement, the electric energy reserve of the battery is increased by 3600KJKKG, and the 18-level composite battery is equivalent to 64800KJ per kilogram of reserve electric energy, that is, 648MJ, and the mass energy density is 1 of gasoline and 162% of diesel. Because the conversion efficiency of electric energy is higher, the energy output efficiency of the 18-stage composite battery is 250% of that of gasoline and 220% of diesel in actual use.

From another angle, if the maximum muzzle kinetic energy of the DP11A electromagnetic gun is 25MJ, the electrical energy required is about 3125MJ (80% power conversion efficiency, 0% utilization efficiency), and 5 kg of 18-level composite battery can make DP11A fire once. Perhaps for the Navy, the practicality of the Class 8 composite battery is not great, but the battleship has enough space and carrying capacity. But for the army and air force, the 18-level composite battery is an irreplaceable treasure. The kinetic energy of the muzzle of the DT11A electromagnetic cannon being developed by the army reaches J, according to the same situation, the use of 8-level composite battery, with 50 standby energy calculation, it takes about 1 kg (the energy conversion efficiency and maximum output power per unit mass of the 8-level composite battery are much lower than that of the 18-level composite battery, and the battery consumption must be increased in order to achieve sufficient output power), and the use of 18-level composite battery only needs kilograms. For light combat vehicles, increasing or decreasing the mass of 950 grams has a significant impact on performance.

In the third stage of performance exhibition research, the task is to solve the problem of large-scale industrial production of 18-level composite batteries.

In 2027, the first battery production line with adjusted production technology will be put into operation.

Of course, the key is the 24-grade composite battery under development.

With the gradual implementation of the second phase of the "National Strategic Defense Department", the third phase of the project is about to start, and the space-based laser interception system will be officially approved. Although in 202 the newly established Tianbing proposed to first establish a defense system based on space-based anti-missile missiles, it is still the space-based energy weapon system that really plays a key role, that is, a space-based anti-missile and anti-satellite defense system based on space-based laser interceptors and space-based particle beam weapon interceptors.

Sending an interception system into outer space is much more difficult than loading a vehicle.

Quality becomes an issue that must be solved. According to theoretical calculations, only a 24-level composite battery can make the space-based energy weapon system have real combat capability.

For the military, 24 composite batteries are equally important.

As early as 20211, the "Jet Propulsion Laboratory" of the United States (belonging to the California Institute of Technology, the most important aerospace propulsion scientific research institution in the United States, where the father of the Republic of Missiles once worked) and the "Aerospace Propulsion Research Institute" of the Republic successively put forward the "Theory of Inhalation Ionization Electromagnetic Propulsion" (called "semi-independent cyclic electromagnetic power technology" in the United States), which provided an extremely important theoretical basis for "electromagnetic propulsion" and laid the foundation for "electromagnetic propulsion" to replace "jet propulsion".

The theory is not complicated, it is to use electromagnetic force to push charged particles to generate power.

Engineering practice is difficult, however, because the energy requirements are very high.

According to the theoretical calculation of the "Aerospace Power Research Institute", the energy efficiency of "electromagnetic propulsion" is only one-third of that of "jet propulsion", although the development is extremely optimistic, it will inevitably replace "jet propulsion" and become the main power of aerospace in the future, but there are many problems that need to be solved, first of all, large-capacity composite batteries.

According to theoretical calculations, a 24-level composite battery is the minimum requirement for "electromagnetic propulsion".

The arms race is a military science and technology race.

The Air Force attaches great importance to the "electromagnetic propulsion" technology, and therefore attaches great importance to the research of composite batteries. As far as Li Cunxun knows, in 2027 alone, the Air Force will take out 15 billion yuan from the modest military spending, and the Physics Experiment Center will speed up the opening of 24-level composite batteries.

Wang Yuanqing also attaches great importance to the research work of composite batteries, and ranks them as the number one project in the fourth phase of scientific research.

It is not difficult to see that meta-focus is on technologies that are closely related to real-world applications.

The reason is very simple, Wang Yuanqing faced a huge challenge that the previous two Yuan Yuan had never encountered: a full-scale war with Japan.

Is there a way to avoid war with Japan, Li Cunxun does not have much hope.

According to Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing, as long as Japan does not give up its nuclear weapons, the Republic must take proactive measures at an appropriate time to eliminate Japan's nuclear threat and ensure the security of the Republic.

No matter how strong a shield is, it can't cope with all threats.

The ideal defense is not to build a strong wall to keep out the bandits outside, but to eliminate all the robbers who are threatening!

In fact, Wang Yuanqing is really ready to do this! (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
