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

Chapter 414: Long Preparation

Companies like Nikon and Tokyo Electric are rare bright spots in Japan's economy in recent years, as the original automobile industry is on the verge of collapse.

Yes, it is that exaggerated.

Faced with the direct impact of China's new energy vehicles, Japan's car companies had no time to transform, and one after another old car companies collapsed, causing a serious impact on Japan's fragile economy, which was already overly dependent on the external market.

The collapse here does not mean direct bankruptcy or disappearance of the brand, but insolvency. The business can no longer operate, banks are unwilling to lend to you to sustain your survival, cash flow is no longer enough to cover expenses, and the working capital on the books has hit rock bottom.

The better parts of these enterprises will be picked up by capital from other countries. Among the collapsed Japanese old car companies, Geely, the most acquisitive among Chinese companies, picked up one. The others were stripped of their debts by European and American capital and then restructured with capital injection.

Companies such as Nikon and Tokyo Electric are able to integrate into China's semiconductor industry chain and play a very important role in it.

Before the change, if America asked Japan to stop cooperating with Chinese companies, Japan would agree. But now, Japan has already got a big piece of the pie in the development of China's semiconductor industry chain. Even if America asks for it, Japan will pretend to obey and even directly "sell" the company's assets and human resources to Chinese companies.

The sale here is only on the surface, but in reality a separate agreement will be signed.

After two rounds of cooperation with Japan - stopping cooperation - and then resuming cooperation, China will accept Japanese enterprises again. This is not without cost.

The price is that all of Neon’s R&D and manufacturing must be established in China, otherwise we will never choose Neon for reasons of supply chain security.

The two sides made a compromise in the middle. Japan's compromise was to move all manufacturing and R&D to mainland China, and China's compromise was that you can recruit people from Japan for R&D and manufacturing, and I will not impose any restrictions on the proportion of your employees that must be Chinese.

Therefore, if all of Goryeo's advantageous industries are in a bleak state with no signs of improvement, Japan is at least bucking the trend in semiconductors thanks to the successful upgrade of China's semiconductor industry chain.

The market share that was eaten up naturally came from Taiwan, Korea, the Netherlands and America, regions with strong traditional semiconductor industry chains.

The Koreans were so dissatisfied with this phenomenon that they publicly accused America in the most influential newspaper in Goryeo, the Koryo Ilbo:

"Americans have become superstitious about artificial intelligence. They believe that artificial intelligence can help them win the competition with China in an instant. Artificial intelligence is the Aladdin's lamp of this White House. They will do anything to polish the Aladdin's lamp."

There is no way Gao Li would not be hysterical.

They already have very few advantageous industries. The White House chose to relax restrictions on the upstream and downstream supply chains of China's topological semi-metal chips in exchange for the import of topological semi-metal chips, and Korea was directly impacted.

It cannot be maintained at all. Samsung has reached the point where it has given up on manufacturing its own chips. Since last year, only its flagship phones have continued to use Samsung's self-developed chips. This year, it announced that all markets except Korea will be equipped with Qualcomm chips.

If we look at it purely from the GDP perspective, the per capita GDP has been on a downward curve without any ripples. On the simplified Chinese Internet, Korea may follow in Argentina's footsteps at any time.

No, if we simply talk about the transition from a developed country to a developing country, Korea has already followed in Argentina's footsteps.

Goryeo has made history. In the past, it was the first country to successfully move from a developing country to a developed country. Now it is going to be the first country to transform from a developing country to a developed country and then back to a developing country.

Countries that have retreated from developed countries to developing countries in the past include Mao, South Africa and Argentina.

The Internet has always said that China is the developed country crusher, but it has never really crushed any developed country. Now the first one has been found, which is Goryeo.

With the experience of Goryeo as a precedent, once Japan’s automobile industry collapses, Japan will be the next.

China certainly wants to bring 14 billion people into the ranks of developed countries and to raise its per capita GDP to the level of developed countries. It is a bit difficult to do this in a short period of time, as it requires tripling its overall GDP. But it is not that difficult to bring down Korea and Japan.

The former has already been achieved, and the latter is just around the corner.

East Asian Monster Room, come if you dare. Such a cruel reality caused the executives of Neon Enterprise to feel mixed emotions when they sat at the launch site of Light Armor Aerospace.

From a business perspective, everyone has benefited from the development of China's semiconductor industry in recent years and has made a lot of money.

Taking lithography machines as an example, although China has set up a lithography factory, it is obviously impossible for one lithography factory to meet all demands, and China’s demand for lithography machines still exists.

ASML's market value has dropped from US$100 billion to less than US$20 billion today, and part of this piece of cake has been eaten by Nikon.

Nikon's market value has soared from US$24 billion in Q2 32.51 to more than US$200 billion today, all thanks to the rapid growth of its lithography machine business.

This is true for Nikon, Tokyo Electric and other semiconductor companies upstream and downstream of China Semiconductor.

As senior executives, their share of the pie will naturally not be small as the market value soars.

But the threat posed by China to Japan is real. In the past, when Japanese people on the Internet called China "Dad" they were joking and self-deprecating, but today when Japanese people on the Internet say this again, there is some sincerity in it.

For example, the participation and election of Chinese immigrants in Japan is an indirect response to this trend of thought.

The growth of the semiconductor industry chain cannot withstand the pain of the automobile industry being cannibalized. After all, the Japanese themselves cannot enjoy much benefit from the growth of the semiconductor industry chain and the soaring market value of semiconductor-related companies.

As mentioned earlier, China requires that your R&D and manufacturing must be located in China, which means that none of the jobs, consumption, taxes, etc. created by your business development will remain in Japan.

Executives can enjoy the dividends brought by the stock surge, but ordinary people in Japan cannot.

The feud between China and Japan made them feel worried deep in their hearts.

Will China really not seek revenge? Such doubts have been hovering in the minds of all knowledgeable people in Japan in recent years. As China develops, such doubts appear more and more frequently in their hearts.

The Chinese even choose to use tactical nuclear weapons in the aerospace field, which can be regarded as the civilianization of tactical nuclear weapons. Isn't this really a hint and warning to the Japanese?
Just now, during his explanation, Chen Yuanguang specifically mentioned Japan’s nuclear wastewater discharge issue. Isn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence?

The Japanese executives present were all deeply worried. No Japanese wanted to be bombed by a nuclear bomb again.

"Our launch this time will be coordinated by the space agencies of France and Bolivia. They will provide the asteroid dynamic data monitored by their observatories in real time, which will be sent back to the headquarters of Guangjia Aerospace to build a more accurate orbital model. We will launch multiple times until the asteroid reaches an orbit that will land on the bright side of the moon.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a relatively relaxed occasion. We can discuss any questions at any time. We also hope that through such exchanges, we can dispel your concerns about nuclear bombs changing the trajectory of asteroids. "

After Chen Yuanguang finished speaking, the foreign guests in the audience rolled their eyes. What kind of technical questions can we, a group of executives in the financial and semiconductor fields, ask?
If they really respect the opinions of the outside world so much, shouldn't they notify the space agencies of various countries half a year in advance, and then have the space agencies of various countries organize experts to come on site to observe and ask questions?

Among them were not only senior executives of foreign companies, but also envoys from various countries. The American envoys were particularly dissatisfied with the fact that France and Bolivia were involved in this matter without informing them in advance.

There is indeed nothing they can do about Bolivia, but France did not inform them. This is unimaginable, because they are in the same defensive organization whose name begins with "North". Although this organization is called defense, it actually does a lot of things to stir up trouble.

China is about to use nuclear bombs, and France knows it but doesn't tell anyone. This is clearly a serious contradiction with North Korea's position on major issues. This is too much of a disregard for America. So what is the need for North Korea to exist? We must severely criticize France, the American envoy thought.

He changed his mind and wondered if France was doing this on purpose, deliberately doing this in order to get himself kicked out of the North* organization?

No, if the Nordic countries lose France, will Germany also withdraw from the group? Then what is the need for the Nordic countries to exist?

It's like being blocked at both ends.

Just because they can't ask technical questions doesn't mean they won't ask questions. As soon as Chen Yuanguang finished speaking, people from all walks of life in China hadn't reacted yet. Everyone was wondering what questions to ask. The foreign guests all raised their hands, and a forest of hands appeared in front of Chen Yuanguang.

"Hmm." Chen Yuanguang glanced at Lin Jia next to him, and Lin Jia said, "Let's go from left to right."

"Hello, Mr. Wright. I am the American envoy to China. You just said that this will cause nuclear radiation."

"It's possible, but the probability is very low."

"Okay, so this possibility cannot be ruled out. Will you compensate for the impact caused?"

"The radiation damage we cause will be lower than that caused by Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater. Has Japan compensated us?"

"Do you mean that if Neon compensates, you will also compensate?"

The Japanese people in the audience were tired of listening to it. You can ask, why are you involving us? Then they scolded Tokyo Electric Power Company. The trouble caused by Tokyo Electric Power Company has brought negative impact on Japan to this day.

“Only after Neon pays compensation can we discuss the next step and whether Guangjia Aerospace needs to pay compensation.

This is too far away. It requires two premises. One is that we really caused the pollution, and the second is that Neon compensates. Next one."

The American envoy felt a little annoyed after sitting down. If he had known that he could only ask one question, it would have been a waste.

The Japanese are in a state of panic. Obviously, if China launches nuclear bombs frequently, like once a year, to change the orbits of asteroids, then compensation for Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge will sooner or later be put on the agenda.

If this is considered compensation, I don't know how much money it would cost to stop it.

“Hello, Mr. Wright. I am Nandell Schmidt, the president of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific. I know your wife, Ms. Lin Jia, and we have had very successful business cooperation.

Before joining Goldman Sachs, I was the president of McKinsey in England. I have worked for industries such as healthcare and the public sector. I am very concerned about global climate change. You just mentioned that this time the nuclear bombs were launched not one or two, but many.

Until it is possible to change the asteroid's orbit so that it will fly towards the moon.

That is to say, you cannot be sure how many missiles will achieve their goal.

If hundreds of nuclear bombs are needed, would the radiation generated by hundreds of nuclear bombs be lighter than the nuclear wastewater discharged by Japan?

From a purely possibility perspective, is there a possibility of irreversible pollution of the Earth? Have you and the researchers at Light Armor Aerospace fully ruled out this possibility?
I know we can't stop China and Guangjia Aerospace from continuing this experiment, I just hope to get an answer to ease my worries."

Obviously, with the American envoy in front, the second person to come on stage, Schnander, both in his questions and his overall tone, were much better.

But Japan’s nuclear wastewater is still being mentioned repeatedly.

The Japanese people present lay down immediately. You can bring it up, but they know that this will be a memory that they cannot get rid of tonight and will be mentioned over and over again.

"We built a model in advance that a maximum of five nuclear bombs would be enough to achieve the goal.

If you want to launch to the bright side of the moon, seven will be enough.

Therefore, its radiation will be controlled within a very small range, and in the deep space environment, there is really no need to worry.

This is just like Elon and his team using chopsticks to recover a rocket. To an outsider, it sounds like an impossible task, but in fact we did a lot of preparation before we started.

I wonder if you have heard of the newly built Huaguo Compound Eye in Yudu?

The China Compound Eye project was launched five years ago. We have invested more than 10 billion RMB in the China Compound Eye. In fact, it was a preparation for today.

Because we are involved in accurately determining the current orbital parameters of the asteroid, including its position, speed, orbital inclination, eccentricity, etc., and then measuring the precise position of the bright side of the moon and its range of illumination at different times.

Involving multiple launches also requires the construction of accurate orbital models to calculate and select the yield of nuclear weapons based on the asteroid's mass, structure, and the energy expected to change its orbit.

Finally, according to the orbit of the asteroid and the relative position of the earth and the moon, as well as the time required for the nuclear missile to be launched and fly, the missile is launched. The time window, launch angle, orbit insertion point and other parameters of each launch require real-time data from China's compound eye to ensure that the nuclear missile can accurately approach the asteroid and carry out an effective strike.

We have been preparing for this day for five years, and our security considerations must be more complete than you think."
