Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 762 We've been kidnapped!

"Where are we going?"

Once outside, Han Ziqing pulled Xu Ye directly into the car.

As for visiting neighbors in the courtyard to exchange New Year's greetings?

Let alone now that Xu Ye is here, even before he was here, Han Ziqing wouldn't have done this!

It's simple, she's a girl!

Moreover, to be honest, she wasn't familiar with many of her neighbors.

When her father came to Kunming, she was already in high school, and then she went to university. Given her father's status, she didn't have any particularly close relatives.

So let's focus on Xu Ye today!

"Wen Ge's house isn't far, let's go to their house first!" Xu Ye thought for a moment and said.

Who knows what kind of emergency might happen next? Let's take advantage of the time now and pay our New Year's visits first.

"As you say!"

Han Ziqing naturally had no objections.

However, before going, Xu Ye called Wen Ziren to make sure he was home.
"Okay, we'll go back right away."

"It's nothing, there's nothing wrong anyway."

"That's all, Xu Ye, I'm hanging up now!"

As expected, just as Xu Ye had predicted, Wen Ziren and his family were at his parents' house right now!
It was already past 3 p.m. when we left Wen Ziren’s house.

There was no other way; after much persuasion, James Wan had to let them have lunch before they left.

In contrast, Gao Jianjun had no time; he was still on duty at the military base on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Xu Ye expressed his understanding of this.

If it were a regular military officer or someone with a similar relationship, then naturally they wouldn't need to do this.

However, Gao Jianjun is the kind of soldier who truly has aspirations, especially when he hasn't yet proven himself, so he sets even higher standards for himself.

There are many people with connections, but few can achieve results like Gao Jianjun. He truly dares to fight and take risks.

After dropping Han Ziqing off at home, Xu Ye repeatedly declined Han's mother's offer to invite him to stay for dinner, and then drove home.

Xu Ye brewed himself a large cup of tea and carried the cup to the study.

If you're going to send a New Year's gift package, then the first day of the Lunar New Year is naturally the most suitable time.

After putting down his teacup and stretching a bit, Xu Ye sat down in front of his computer.

I tapped the keyboard, and the monitor, which had been off, lit up.

For the next half hour or so, the sound of keyboards clicking in the study never stopped.

"It's done!"

After pressing the Enter key, Xu Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, a piercing alarm sounded in a heavily guarded underground base.

"what happened?"

The supervisor on duty asked loudly.

"Report: Our external network server has been hijacked and is receiving a large amount of data!"

A captain, his face grim, looked away from the screen and said in a somewhat frightened voice.

Although, the moment they discovered the anomaly, they all began to do everything in their power to seize control.

However, judging from his expression, the situation was clearly very bad.

"Sir, should we disconnect the network connection?" the captain suggested.

"No need, I'll do it!"

The person in charge took a deep breath, pulled out a chair, sat down in front of the computer, and quickly started working.

Anyway, their server that connects to the external network doesn't contain any confidential information.

Even if the internet eventually has to be disconnected, it won't be a big loss.

However, in that case, one would naturally lose face.

A few minutes later, the once confident lieutenant colonel dejectedly pushed open the keyboard.

If the situation weren't so inappropriate, he really wanted to smash the keyboard and then punch the monitor.

"Chief?"

The captain spoke cautiously.

At this moment, apart from the low hum of the cooling fans, the entire control room was eerily quiet.

Everyone else had already stopped and was waiting for the lieutenant colonel's next orders.

It's not that they don't want to regain control, but that they simply have no way to do so.

They now seem like a group of complete novices who have just started learning computers, completely helpless.

"cut"

Just as the lieutenant colonel was about to issue the order to cut off the network, a dialog box popped up on the desktop.

"Do not disconnect the network, otherwise we will attack other websites."

"Don't worry, this isn't a malicious attack, it's a New Year's gift!"

Finally, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year!

After typing this text with a touch of morbid humor, Xu Ye stood up and stretched.

However, Xu Ye spent so much time and effort on this "New Year's gift package" that it's perfectly fine for him to play a prank.

"Chief?"

The captain glanced instinctively at the cameras on the wall and the headsets with microphones.

Is it not normal to leave them with only one option—cutting off their internet—to eavesdrop on their conversations, or even monitor their footage?
This time, I really embarrassed myself!

"Wait a minute!"

Taking a deep breath, the lieutenant colonel gave the order.

Like I said before, since things are already like this, and there are no secrets here, let's see what kind of trouble they're up to first!
Most importantly, he didn't dare to gamble.

Given the opponent's technical capabilities, if they were to attack other government websites, the impact would be far greater.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most important festival for the Chinese people, we made a huge fool of ourselves in front of the whole world.

Few people can shoulder this responsibility.

In contrast, this is "irrelevant" to them.

However, not unplugging the network cable does not mean you can't disconnect the camera or unplug the headset.

At the same time, the relevant information was also reported.

In this situation, someone of a higher rank must be in charge to make decisions; he, as a lieutenant colonel, is not quite qualified.

Seeing the black screen and the silence, Xu Ye smiled, not surprised at all.

As long as their internet connection remains constant, Xu Ye doesn't care about anything else.

Anyway, Xu Ye was genuinely delivering goodwill, not checking water meters; he just needed to ensure the goods arrived safely. A key reason Xu Ye chose this location was that it not only had a high-level accessibility and fast internet, but also the latest servers…

The rest of the time was spent waiting.

Although the other party's internet speed was indeed very fast, Xu Ye still spent more than 30,000 Liver Scrolls to exchange for a considerable amount of information.

More than 30,000 liver scrolls seem like a lot, and they were indeed exchanged for a considerable amount of technical and process data.

However, all of this is based on the premise that these technologies and process data are not the latest or most advanced, but rather "old" things.

However, whether something is old or outdated depends on what it's compared to.

Compared to the latest and most advanced technology from the United States, it is naturally backward.

However, compared to the technology and craftsmanship currently possessed by the Dragon Kingdom, it is extremely advanced.

Unfortunately, it's no exaggeration to say that, according to normal development patterns, China's current military technology lags behind the United States by at least thirty years.

Do not believe?

Look at the F-15, it's a more advanced twin-engine heavy fighter than the Su-27.

When did the United States enter service?
1976 years!
Thirty years have passed in the past. Let alone independent research and development, even the production of the Su-27 under license has been fraught with difficulties.

To say that we are 30 years behind is an understatement, isn't it?

However, no one could have imagined that China's development would be so rapid, wiping out the gap of forty or fifty years that had been built up in just over a decade.

Moreover, it has even surpassed others in some areas.

If Xu Ye hadn't traveled back from 2022, or if he had some kind of cheat code, he wouldn't dare to think like this.

So, let alone others.

However, in Xu Ye's opinion, this time was still a bit slow.

Since we have the capability, let's speed things up a bit.

Therefore, this time, Xu Ye directly spent more than 30,000 Liver Scrolls to exchange for some Russian technology and process data in the aviation field as a "New Year's gift package" and sent it out.

This includes the complete set of technical and production process data for the Russian carrier-based Su-33 aircraft, which is also the bulk of the more than 30,000 liver rolls spent.

The reason for choosing this information is simple: if the information on the aircraft carrier has been sent, then naturally there must be information on carrier-based aircraft.

Otherwise, it would be having guns but no bullets.

After all, with that technical data, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the completion time for the aircraft carrier's repair and refit will definitely be significantly shortened.

In that case, given that Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) hasn't even fully understood the Su-27 yet, it would be incredibly difficult for SAC to develop a carrier-based aircraft—the J-15 from the previous life—before the aircraft carrier's refit is completed.

In the previous generation, when neither side had fully grasped the heavy fighter jet, the J-15 was hastily developed based on the Su-33 carrier-based aircraft prototype T-10K-3 obtained by Russia and the domestically produced J-11.

However, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation has not fully grasped or mastered either the prototype or the J-11.

As for why not just import Russia's Su-33s directly?

It's not that I don't want to, it's that Da Mao is unwilling!

On the one hand, the production line of the Su-33 has been shut down, and restarting it would require a large amount of capital.

If the Dragon Kingdom wants to buy it, the quantity will be substantial.

However, for the fledgling Chinese navy's aircraft carrier program, the first carrier is more of a testing ground and large-scale procurement is not an option.

Besides, there isn't that much funding.

Another reason is that the agreement between the two sides was terminated after only 105 domestically produced J-11s were manufactured. Given China's strong reverse engineering capabilities, Russia is cautious about transferring the core technology of the Su-33.

After all, aircraft carriers, regardless of what kind they are, are standard offensive weapons, and there must be very complex strategic considerations behind them.

Of course, given the Russians' nature, it's not necessarily a bad thing if they keep negotiating and talking.

Unfortunately, aircraft carriers can't wait!
Finally, attention turned to Er Mao.

The Su-33 was partly inherited by the first and second generations of the Soviet Union when the family business was divided.

Therefore, the prototype aircraft and the J-11 technology were combined, and the J-15 was eventually successfully launched.

However, those in the know understand that the J-15 carrier-based aircraft only solved the problem of having or not having, and is essentially a transitional aircraft.

When Xu Ye traveled through time, he heard rumors that the improved version of the J-15 was basically mature and it was only a matter of time before it replaced the J-15.

For fourth-generation fighter jets, which often have a lifespan of several decades, the J-15's service life is only about ten years.

The reason for the rush to replace it is simple: its combat effectiveness is truly lacking.

Therefore, Xu Ye chose the Su-33 carrier-based aircraft as a gift this time, which is definitely better than a prototype.

If the people at Shenyang Aircraft Corporation had put in a little more effort, they could have at least built a more advanced and mature fighter jet than the J-15, if not improved upon the Su-33.

After all, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality!

These technical documents and manufacturing processes are far more detailed than the Su-27-related documents and processes provided by Russia back then.

It not only enables them to know what is happening, but also to understand why it is happening.

So, if that still doesn't work, then Xu Ye really has no other options.

This can be considered a test from Xu Ye for Shen Fei, and also their last chance. Hopefully, they won't let him down.

As for whether the development of carrier-based aircraft will be assigned to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC)?
Xu Ye did want to, but this was not something he could decide. If nothing unexpected happened, the development of carrier-based aircraft would still fall to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, just like in the original timeline.

No, research on carrier-based aircraft should have started much earlier, and it was led by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.

"Next time, how about using some American technology?"

Looking at the progress bar on the screen, Xu Ye stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Why not this time?
It wasn't that Xu Ye disliked it; on the contrary, he actually preferred the technology and craftsmanship of the United States to that of Russia.

After all, anyone with a basic understanding of the industries of both countries knows that, except for a very few areas, the United States has an overwhelming advantage in technology.

However, on the one hand, China's aviation industry is basically derived from Russia, and Russia's technology is easier to understand.

In addition, relatively speaking, the technical and process requirements of Russia are slightly lower, which makes it easier for China to replicate and even improve upon them.

Big, clumsy, and rough!
This isn't a case of blackening Russians; it's just the truth.

As for when the next time will be, that depends on whether Xu Ye will have any "unexpected gains" next.

This time, Xu Ye's liver scroll balance was less than 400,000. He had spent too much at once, and Xu Ye needed to make up for it or adjust his mindset.

After all, with the cost of upgrading skills and exchanging technology this time, it all came to over 130,000.

Without going into too much detail, if this happens a few more times, Xu Ye's liver roll value will drop to zero.

This was something Xu Ye absolutely did not want to see.

In his mind, there was an absolute red line regarding the balance of his liver roll value; it could not be lower than 200,000!
reason?

It's very simple, this is Xu Ye's "life-saving money"!
In the event of a fatal injury, this is the price at which life-saving items can be exchanged.

As long as Xu Ye's head is still intact, he won't die!
For Xu Ye, who often dances with death, this must be indispensable.

Sometimes, it's not that Xu Ye is stingy, but rather that Xu Ye isn't truly immortal.

Even if he suffers a fatal wound, Xu Ye will still die.

To survive, liver roll value is essential.

Moreover, Xu Ye was well aware that only if he lived could he bring a continuous stream of benefits to the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, it's impossible to go all in.
