Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Yes! Hypersonic wind tunnels are really too difficult."

At this point, Zhang Zhong's voice suddenly lowered: "To make the airflow blow steadily at a speed of about two thousand meters per second, and to maintain that steady flow for a certain period of time, the engineering difficulty involved is beyond imagination."

Initially, our engineers thought we could use a detonation method, which involves using the shock wave from an explosion to create a shock tunnel.

However, it proved extremely difficult to actually implement, and dozens of attempts were made without a single success...

It's important to know that the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki, which used implosion technology, required only a moment to control the detonation.

The detonation control in this wind tunnel needs to be stable for at least 4 seconds, during which dozens of detonations need to be continuously generated and the dispersion of the detonations controlled. The entire control model is completely insurmountable.

Fortunately, while the wind tunnel route was impassable, the testing machine route led us to some results...

The reconnaissance aircraft was codenamed "WZ-8". From the codename, we can tell that it is an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

Compared to manned aircraft, the biggest advantage of drones is that they do not have pilots and there is no fear of crashes, making them a perfect fit for the experimental aircraft development route.

This is also why our strategic reconnaissance aircraft was able to be developed so smoothly.

Because its aerodynamic layout was successfully tested on a prototype, all that's needed is to fit a set of reconnaissance and communication control equipment inside it.

"It turns out there were such secrets in the development of the WZ-8. That's really not easy."

The host suddenly realized what was going on and then asked about some details of the WZ-8 and some little-known stories.

soon.

The host picked up the next host card and looked at the director seriously, asking, "Teacher Zhang, there's something that's been making headlines online today."

That is, the Americans are accusing us of conducting inhuman biological experiments and human trials.

What's your opinion on this matter? This is the data from their published report...

As the host spoke, he picked up the remote control and pressed a button.

The WZ-8 imagery on the live broadcast screen disappeared, replaced by a report that was mostly obscured, with only one-third visible.

The report's title, various biological terms, and a range of data and parameters clearly indicate that it is part of a biological report.

"This is a blatant smear campaign."

Zhang Zhong waved his hand, looking helpless and angry, and said, "I asked the relevant experts about the data in this report today, and it is true."

But just because the data is true doesn't mean that the accusations and smears against us are true...

"But..." the host hesitated, "the titles and terms on the report are all in Chinese."

"This reason is even more absurd. We're not the only people in the world who speak Chinese. With the report screenshot like this, it's not even certain who wrote it."

Zhang Zhong retorted angrily, "If the Americans are accusing us just because the report is in Chinese, wouldn't it be more convincing to present actual data?"

"Teacher Zhang, what do you mean by the real-world data you mentioned...?" The host immediately grasped the key point.

"It's simple. Since the Americans say we're conducting human trials, then we need to have test subjects, right?"

Zhang Zhong, looking furious, launched a direct attack, saying, "As everyone knows, the United States is a country of immigrants."

Statistics from the last three years show that there were four million legal births, one to two million legal immigrants, plus two million or more illegal immigrants... The annual increase in the US population is between eight and ten million.

Their population has grown by an average of 220 million per year over the past decade, so the death rate can be considered equal to the population increase minus 220 million.

按照他们现在3亿人口计算，每年600万到800万的死亡数，合计年人口死亡率高达2.1％至2.6％。

The annual mortality rate in the 27 EU countries is 9.8 per thousand, while ours is 7.6 per thousand. The mortality rate in the United States is 2.2 to 5 times that of the EU and 2.7 to 3.2 times that of us.

Based on their total population, compared to the world's major countries, they would have an additional 400 to 600 million deaths each year.

It's worth noting that even in war-torn Afghanistan, the mortality rate is only 3%.

The mortality rate in one of the world's most developed countries and regions is comparable to that of a war-torn country.

"In Afghanistan, people can say it's due to war causing population loss, but Americans, I really don't know where all those extra deaths went..."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, the host gasped sharply, his expression instantly turning somewhat horrified.

"Oh my god, Yao Yao..."

Su Yue jumped up in fright, grabbed Huang Qingyao, and stared at her, asking, "Is this for real?"

"...I don't know either."

Huang Qingyao was equally shocked and subconsciously looked at Lin Dong: "An additional 400 to 600 million in deaths... Lin Dong, is this true?"

"If the Director says it, it will definitely be publicly available and verifiable data."

Lin Dong noticed Huang Qingyao's gaze and shook his head, saying, "As for where so many people went, I don't know. Maybe there are a lot of homeless people there, so they didn't keep a count."

More than a decade later, most ordinary people who have internet access will have a general idea of ​​where all these people went and how they ended up.

But there's no need for him to bring up something so terrifying now, lest it keep everyone up all night.

"Teacher Zhang, you mentioned these extra deaths..." At this moment, the host realized what was happening and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know about that."

Zhang Zhong shook his head, looked at the camera and directly confronted them: "But what I do know is that a country that only accounts for 4% of the world's population, but exports and supplies 70% of the world's blood plasma raw materials."

A country that is the richest in the world, yet homeless people are everywhere.

A country that claims to uphold freedom and human rights, but last year the Prism Gate program was used to spy on the world.

Their accusations against other countries for conducting human experiments are less credible than the barking of my dog.

This data is so accurate; I wonder which lab produced it.

There are no secrets under the sun. What some regions and people consider to be secrets is actually known to everyone.

I reminded them that before they wantonly smear and attack others, they should first check if their own backsides are clean...

boom! ! !

Southwest Consulate.

Williams slammed his fist on the table, stood up, stared wide-eyed at Zhang Zhong on the live television broadcast, and roared angrily.

"He's threatening us! He's slandering us!"

"They've undertaken such a biological research program, and they dare to threaten and slander us?"

"Sir, I think the plans on the mainland should be put on hold. It's obvious they know something here..." Peter rubbed his forehead and suggested cautiously.

As a senior intelligence officer stationed in the Asia-Pacific region, he was in charge of most of the intelligence authority in the region, so he must have been aware of some things happening on the mainland.

Given the current situation, if these things were exposed, it would definitely not be beneficial for them.

"The local authorities are too hasty. They can't find any vulnerabilities after six months, so they want to use attacks to find vulnerabilities..." Williams replied with a headache.

dong dong dong-

Before he could finish speaking, an intelligence officer knocked on the door and entered, reporting to Williams, "Sir, Mr. Smith has sent an urgent telegram."

"Urgent call? Okay, I'll be right there!"

Williams paused for a moment, straightened his collar, and jogged over to the nearby communications room.

"Mr. Smith..." Williams addressed him respectfully as soon as he entered the liaison room.

During this video call, Smith was still at his residence, but the television being filmed by the camera was also playing content from Defense Watch.

"Williams".

Smith pointed to the television program: "Stop promoting your biological project for now. There's no need to promote it anymore."

"Understood!" Williams quickly replied, "Even if you hadn't told me, I was planning to request a temporary halt to this arrangement."

"This will make your sense of smell very sensitive."

Smith nodded, his expression serious, and said, "I just received a call. These smear campaigns will be temporarily suspended for the next year and a half, but we will continue our search."

We need to provide various intelligence support to facilitate maintaining economic and other pressures domestically, through positive channels of negotiation, and increased internal research, if…”

At this point, a ruthless glint flashed in Smith's eyes: "If a breakthrough in this biological program is not found within a year and a half... the higher-ups have decided to push the carrier strike group to cross the line and exert pressure at all costs."

"hiss--"

Williams gasped, his face filled with barely suppressed shock: "Mr. Smith, isn't this a bit too extreme? This biological report doesn't cover lifespan..."

Carrier strike groups crossing the line to exert pressure—this is not the last century.

This region is now the world's second-largest economy, a super-region that accounts for more than one-third of the world's industry, more than half of the world's steel production, and has more than one-sixth of the world's population.

Although the overall industrial chain has not been upgraded and there is no decent aircraft carrier, if a real war were to break out, it might not be possible to suppress them.

If this biotechnology involves extending lifespan, such intense pressure is understandable.

But for a technology that doesn't involve extending lifespan to produce such a strong reaction... that's truly incomprehensible; the risk is simply too great.

"It doesn't involve lifespan now, but that doesn't mean it won't in the future, nor does it mean that the people who produced this biological report didn't involve it."

Smith took a deep breath and said resolutely, "As for the situation on the mainland, you are also aware that the interests of all parties are starting to become uncontrollable."

We must rely on their enormous industrial capacity and scale to help us overcome this challenge.

But now they want to upgrade their industries, break free from our industrial control, and seize our interests.

Even without biotechnology, this struggle would have begun sooner or later... This biotechnology simply adds another layer of resolve.
