It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 411: Things Only the Old Chinese Can Do
"I feel relieved now that I see that the Americans are still so rascally."

This is the tone across Reddit.

The white people, who had been worried that America would lose this competition and that the world dominated by the West for hundreds of years would be destroyed in the hands of their generation, were also feeling relieved.

Fortunately, America has no bottom line.

“I am very happy to see that the White House is facing up to what is happening in the real world. They chose to steal the room-temperature superconducting technology from China. This is undoubtedly unethical, but such unethical behavior shows that the White House realizes that they cannot win the competition with China by using normal competition methods.

We have reached the point where we have to face the real world.

In the past year, the federal government chose to open the electric vehicle market in exchange for Silicon Valley technology companies being able to purchase new chip products from Chinese companies. Yes, America needs to open its market to China in exchange for chip products. This was unimaginable six years ago, and it doesn't seem like a change that would happen in six years.

However, this happened within six years. China forced the whole world to purchase Chinese chip products by building a new artificial intelligence system. And through an overall supporting strategy, China rebuilt a chip industry in China that is much larger, more complete, and more technologically advanced than 18 years ago.

As a result, the chip industries of the Federation and its allies have suffered a devastating blow. The Federation's allies are experiencing an unprecedented industrial recession, a recession that is slower and more painful than that in 2008.

After China's electric vehicle industry entered America, a large number of consumers began to choose China's new energy vehicles. China's new energy vehicles, led by BYD, are so affordable that it makes us realize that Toyota is outdated.

BYD is only a low-end brand in China, but it has autonomous driving technology comparable to Tesla. China is rapidly approaching us in all areas you can think of, and this is especially true in the automotive industry. All my friends, whether they hate Chinese people or not, say they will consider Chinese new energy vehicles for their next car.

This is what is happening in reality. The logic of the real world has completely changed.

However, China's automobile industry entering the American market also affects not the interests of America, but the interests of our allies Japan and Germany. We can see that the economic situation of Germany and Japan is getting worse and worse. The former is turning right rapidly, while the latter is shrinking across the board.

Obviously, we now have to face a reality, that is, normal competition cannot confront China head-on. Fortunately, the White House has realized this. Immorality is acceptable, but failure is unacceptable. "

The hot posts on Reddit's geopolitical section fully demonstrate what ordinary Americans think about this matter. We cannot accept failure more than we find it immoral.

"We can see that China is constantly collapsing in new imaginations. However, for some reason, this imagination does not continue into the real world."

“They say we are an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.

Power and hubris made these clowns delusional. Sadly for us, we let these fools be in charge. The ruins they leave behind will be our legacy.

Fortunately, the current White House is not so arrogant.”

"It's a shame that we are being hollowed out by dysfunctional politics; greed, arrogance and stupidity. Hopefully, the White House's actions this time will help keep the federation together."

"It's certainly a good thing that the White House is aware of the real world, but is it enough for just this White House? Room-temperature superconducting technology may not be able to change the general trend."

Reddit is a community similar to Tieba, where the guys focus on telling the truth, so truthful that they are often accused of being politically incorrect by white leftists.

The geopolitical sector is even more realistic. People are not too optimistic. They are optimistic but to a limited extent.

"We will lead America to a dominant position in technology!"

"The Federation has never given up on investing in scientific and technological research and development."

“The Federation is confident enough to win the science and technology competition.”

I sent three messages in a row and finally felt better.

When he posted a tweet, the most comments came not from Americans but from the Chinese.

Even though the simplified Chinese section on Twitter is a cesspool with only two types of content, what American did was too unkind. It was so unkind that people who used to just quietly use Twitter to appreciate beauties couldn't help but start to get excited and start to post comments on his tweets.

Except for his passionate performance, everyone was shocked by his shamelessness.

Because there is an information gap. The president and the current White House know very well that they did nothing and did not send anyone to China to steal technology. The outside world does not know about this, and the Chinese people are even less aware of it.

Not to mention that the Chinese can't tell the difference between the Donkey Party's financiers and the Elephant Party's financiers, even Americans themselves can't tell the difference.

For example, on the Internet, the little information about Koch Industries, one of the world's largest private companies with annual sales of over $500 billion, focuses on the fact that they are a long-time supporter of the Elephant Party.

If the news was limited to this, the outside world would naturally believe that Koch Industries and the Koch brothers behind it have a good relationship with the White House and are the winners of the 24-year election.

But in fact, it is true that Koch Industries is a long-time supporter of the Republican Party, but they support the establishment, not the current president. Even before the 24th election, Koch Industries' slogan was to fully support other candidates participating in the primary election within the party and do its utmost to prevent the current president from returning to the White House.

Apart from the interest groups that have been active in Washington for many years, it is difficult for the outside world to see the truth about Washington, who has a good relationship with whom, and how the revolving door between politics and business works.

The older Chinese subconsciously believe that the White House is behind all this, and that the president's smugness hidden in his tweets is too strong to believe that he has nothing to do with this matter.

There are also slightly more rational replies, but the views are consistent: "The above answers are too optimistic, but in any case, the Chinese are just doing routine space behavior, which will not evolve into war. I just want to say one reason, that is, the Chinese are the biggest beneficiaries of the current world situation, and no biggest beneficiary will take the initiative to break a situation that is in their favor.

Under the current situation, the Chinese can still make money from all over the world, and they are making more and more money. The launch of nuclear bombs means that the global economy will be restructured even if it is painful. If the Chinese really did this, they would not have developed to the point where they are today. "

While the outside world was jubilant, the Pentagon was extremely nervous. All available observation equipment was running at full capacity in an attempt to observe China's nuclear missile launch.

One is to observe what is new about their so-called new technology and the extent to which the terminal trajectory change can be achieved, and to judge the interception probability from a data level and how much reaction time Washington would have if it were launched towards Washington.

If it exits and re-enters the atmosphere at a speed of Mach 20 and takes the fastest trajectory, it will take less than minutes to hit the target from China to Washington.

"Elon, are you listening?" Musk received a call from a senior White House bureaucrat while on the private plane.

"You said."

The other party briefly explained what the Chinese were going to do this time.

"Impossible. Nuclear bombs can indeed change the orbit of an asteroid. The shock wave generated by its explosion is definitely much larger than that of a satellite impact. But there is also a problem. That is, nuclear bombs cannot achieve precise orbit changes at all.

An asteroid impact cannot achieve precise orbital changes, but it can roughly calculate a range, but a nuclear bomb impact is completely unpredictable.

No, they just need a rough direction to determine that the asteroid will eventually land on the moon. They don't need very high precision, but it can be done.

By continuously launching nuclear bombs, if the first orbit change does not achieve the goal, then conduct a second orbit change. If the second orbit change does not work, launch a third one. By continuously launching, the asteroid will always be able to enter the orbit to the moon. "

Musk realized that this plan was feasible, but of course it also had very high requirements. First, you had to have a nuclear bomb. Second, you had to have enough technology to ensure that the nuclear bomb could be delivered to the predetermined location for collision. Finally, you had to be able to launch it at a high frequency.

"That's right, Elon, the NASA expert just made the same judgment as you did, this technical solution is feasible.

In theory, they could even be accurate enough to land an asteroid on the bright side of the moon.

Of course, just because it is theoretically feasible doesn’t mean it will be easy for Chinese people to succeed.

But for us, we must do our best to prevent the Chinese from taking this technical route.

This technology route is too passive for us, do you understand? "

Musk immediately responded: "You mean the Chinese can use this to reduce the cost of tactical nuclear weapons and continuously iterate technology? And pose a huge threat to us?"

It's a very simple logic. Since the nuclear bomb was developed, only two have been exploded, and both were detonated in the same city.

It has never been put into actual combat since then.

The manufacture and maintenance of nuclear bombs both have costs, and these costs cannot produce any economic benefits. For example, America spends about $100 billion each year just to preserve and maintain its nuclear bombs.

These are fixed costs, and the technology is difficult to iterate. You cannot iterate technology and production processes through testing alone.

Originally, everyone is similar in this matter. The difference is that if your financial situation is good, you save more, and if your financial situation is bad, you save less.

If the Chinese begin to routinely launch nuclear bombs to change the orbits of asteroids, it means that Chinese nuclear weapons will no longer be simply for military use. They will generate economic benefits, even if the economic benefits are very low. You are embedded in the entire space mining process and are just one step in it.

We also need to go to the moon to dig out the asteroids and bring them back to Earth. The cost of this round trip is extremely high, but it can be used after all, because it is not dead after all.

If I launch enough missiles, I can launch as many as I produce every year, and the maintenance cost will be gone.

Originally, I needed 1000 billion RMB to achieve the same effect as America's 1000 billion US dollars. Now I only need 100 billion RMB to achieve the same effect as yours. Moreover, because I am constantly producing and consuming, my process is constantly evolving, and there is still room for my technology to be expanded.

The entire nuclear weapons imagination was opened up.

For America, this is another Achilles' heel.

"That's right. We have to dispel the Chinese idea. If they can really use nuclear weapons on a regular basis, then we will have to follow suit. This will not benefit anyone," the other party said.

He was very anxious, especially after the Pentagon communicated with him, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

The celebrations of the outside world will not affect the sense of crisis of the real brains of America. They can realize that this matter is a big trouble, so big that for a long time in the future, China is the only country on the earth that will normalize the continuous production of new nuclear weapons, launch them, and generate economic benefits.

The whole thing seems like something only the Chinese can do.

What's even more frustrating is that even if America catches up, they have to face a reality: with America's current weak industrial strength, how long will it take them to produce something similar to what China has?
The number of near-Earth asteroids that fly around the Earth every year is limited. The Chinese have already attacked you. How could you let the Chinese launch out of sync with your previous tests?
