Chapter 113 Offensive and defensive transition
Ye Rongshan shook his head and refused: "The lunar space elevator will still be built by Daxia, and the subsequent refinery will also be funded and built by the Ministry of Industry. It's not easy for you."
Then he turned to the military commander who had never spoken.
"Liu Shengzhan, please tell us. The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry fully support you."
Everyone immediately fell silent, looking at Liu Shengzhan with a surprised expression, waiting for what would happen next.
Liu Shengzhan pondered for a moment. As Mr. Ye's meeting continued today, he knew that Mr. Ye was no longer satisfied with economic sanctions, industrial sanctions and other means.
All the previous communications ultimately showed that the current situation in Daxia was particularly good and that there were conditions to support the actions of his military.
It seems that I can't just follow orders today.
Liu Shengzhan turned his gaze to Fan Ren and said in a deep voice: "Xinghai's supercomputer has greatly improved our military's command data link system."
"We can provide the military with a dedicated supercomputer free of charge."
Fan Ren took over the conversation without hesitation.
His own chip, the system designed by Ah Dai. The cost is not high, he can afford it.
Liu Shengzhan nodded with a hint of excitement on his face and said, "In fact, when this incident happened, I had thought of an idea. Due to the altitude of our space elevator, it is impossible to always guard against various spacecraft collisions in the name of falling."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If it weren't for the fact that the spacecraft of the United States was scrapped and fell, it would be impossible for Daxia to track and monitor it in real time if it was another small satellite.
He looked at the crowd's reactions and continued, "In view of this, the military has decided to establish a space force. From now on, all spacecraft over 200 kilometers must be forcibly implanted with our surveillance system. If any relevant forces disagree, our space force will forcibly scrap them to avoid threatening the safety of our Daxia's space elevator."
He didn't finish his words.
"At the same time, the military plans to implement thorough military control over the eastern and southern waters. From the implementation of the plan, any warships entering the waters must report to our military, otherwise it will be regarded as an illegal intrusion into our waters and the military will sink it."
Liu Shengzhan stopped. These were just appetizers, and it was also the time when Daxia should have its own due interests.
Ye Rongshan knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so he patted the table and asked, "Anything else?"
Liu Shengzhan no longer hesitated, and puffed out his chest and said: "The military will dispatch two aircraft carrier formations to advance 2000 nautical miles eastward to the eastern waters. Normal sea area management will be carried out. All warships that have not reported to our military in advance are prohibited from entering. Otherwise, our military has the right to drive away all warships that appear in the sea area in order to maintain the safety of our merchant ships!"
After he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.
Ye Rongshan fell into deep thought. This action was too big, and the meaning of Liu Shengzhan's words was not fully expressed.
The military wants to drive out all the moldy troops within 2000 nautical miles east of Daxia.
Of course it can’t be achieved all at once, but at least it’s a start.
This move also indicates that Daxia's foreign policy will completely change from being passive in the past to being active in the future.
It will definitely touch Bai Yue's sensitive nerves.
But he didn't refute it.
Indeed, even today, the South Island country and the small country in the east are still allowed to station the American army, unscrupulously monitoring Daxia's every move in real time at any time and anywhere.
This has been criticized for a long time.
Fan Ren discovered that after Liu Shengzhan finished speaking, the person who changed the most in the room was Zhao Bo, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had remained silent.
Although he didn't have much insight, he could clearly feel at this moment that the elegant and easy-going head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was beginning to become tough.
"Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will arrange the relevant external statements." He spoke solemnly, his eyes revealing enthusiasm. Upon seeing this, Fan Ren suddenly realized that this man had been holding it in for long enough.
"Mr. Ye, can I mention this?"
Fan Ren felt that although his words were minor, as the chairman of Xinghai, he had to remind everyone.
Everyone's eyes turned over instantly.
Bringing him along for today's meeting can be said to be a precedent. I didn't expect that this kid would have the courage to bring it up at this moment?
Mr. Ye was not surprised. Although Xinghai is now a wholly-owned private company, with the implementation of each project, its nature has long been different from that of an ordinary private enterprise.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Fan Ren to come to attend this internal meeting today.
He nodded.
"It's like this. Recently I've been thinking about an engine powered by nuclear fusion. I've already got an idea. I believe that with the help of supercomputers and our financial strength, we'll be able to produce results within three months. By then, all spacecraft in outer space will be equipped with this engine.
Because it uses a nuclear fusion reactor, the energy conversion is not yet perfect, and the thrust is only comparable to our traditional chemical fuel engines, but it has a very long endurance.
Let’s take the simplest data for comparison. When our Xingyun series of launch vehicles are fully powered, the fuel can continue to run for 5 hours.
After replacing the nuclear fusion engine, the continuous operation time can reach 10 years under the same full power state and the same fuel tonnage.
At that time, we will no longer rely on inertial acceleration during space travel, but can continuously accelerate in the first 2/3 of the distance, and then switch to reverse deceleration after completing this process to ensure a relatively low speed when we reach the destination.
According to the results of our supercomputing, the time to travel between the Earth and the Moon will be shortened to 10 hours.”
As soon as Fan Ren finished speaking, the one who reacted the most was Liu Shengzhan.
Only he knew clearly that this so-called nuclear fusion engine would be the final link in the space force he envisioned.
With this engine with super endurance, spacecraft will be able to carry out routine patrol navigation in outer space for a long time without worrying about endurance.
Only a space force with this kind of regular patrols can be called a true space force.
"How much does it cost?"
As the head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, Zhang Jing is particularly sensitive about money and asked questions that everyone is very concerned about.
Fan Ren couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"As for nuclear fusion, the cost mainly depends on the material of tri-titanium alloy as the outer container wall. Let's not talk about this, everyone knows it.
As for the remaining engine parts, they are relatively expensive, and may cost 5 million.”
Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This was not expensive.
It’s really not expensive.
You should know that the engine of one of Daxia's top fighter jets currently costs tens of millions.
But Fanren hadn't finished speaking yet.
"At the same time, the quantum communication satellite we recently launched has returned very good feedback after a period of testing. It can be fully applied to military equipment. Liu Shuai, you should understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shengzhan nodded repeatedly. He was particularly interested in this new technology with no communication delay.
