133: Good guy, your organization is going to expose everything publicly.

Chapter 133: Good Heavens, your Organization wants to be fully exposed? An Invitation to visit Da Xia!

This isn't just one technology.

Instead, it's composed of two technologies: a complete version of electromagnetic catapult technology!

No wonder they asked if the Varyag aircraft carrier used ski-jump take-off? So that was their plan!

At this moment.

“Old Zhang, you’re saying this thing…” Zheng Lixing's hands trembled as he pointed at the screen: “It couldn’t be the technology the Eagle Nation is currently developing for its ford-class aircraft carrier, could it?”

“Besides that aircraft carrier, there’s no other need for electromagnetic catapult technology, is there?”

Electromagnetic catapult technology, in terms of military weapon equipment, currently has only one application scenario.

That is, using a strong magnetic field and powerful electromagnetic propulsion to instantly launch an aircraft, thereby achieving rapid take-off.

Its sortie efficiency is far higher than ski-jump take-off, and also higher than steam catapults, which require a continuous supply of 'steam'.

After all, ski-jump take-off has significant limitations, and fighter jets must enter 'full throttle afterburner thrust' on the deck to take off smoothly within a short distance, which also means consuming a large amount of fuel, and the fighter's payload will be constrained.

And the steam catapults used by the Eagle Nation's nimitz-class aircraft carriers and other mainstream aircraft carriers also have significant drawbacks, which is that each launch consumes hundreds of kilograms of steam and a large amount of fresh water, requiring a long interval between each launch.

At the same time, for aircraft that are too heavy or too light, steam catapults cannot guarantee take-off effectiveness, as energy output cannot be precisely controlled.

At this point, the new technological concept of electromagnetic catapults is hailed as a crucial technology for future aircraft carriers.

What he understood was that the only vessel currently preparing to apply this technology globally was the ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier being built by the Eagle Nation.

However.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuli immediately denied it: “Impossible. The current technology of the ford-class, how could it use this kind of electromagnetic catapult?”

“The power supply systems for these two are not even the same… they are completely different approaches.”

He was not unaware of the current research and development situation in the Eagle Nation; the ford-class uses an Integrated Power and Energy System (IPES), which still follows the medium-voltage AC propulsion system of the Nimitz, and the electromagnetic catapult is also powered by this system.

If even a tiny problem occurs, it could mean all the electromagnetic catapult tracks on an entire aircraft carrier would stop.

However, this new electromagnetic catapult technology utilizes high-rate lithium batteries and pulse capacitor energy storage as independent launch units, so even if one track malfunctions, it will not affect the normal operation of other tracks.

In Zhang Yuli's eyes, this was clearly an upgraded and optimized version of the ford-class's electromagnetic catapult.

“It’s just, where did this technology come from?”

Zhang Yuli frowned deeply: “Even top laboratories like Bell, MIT, etc., couldn’t possibly produce these two technologies all at once, could they?”

The value of these two technologies was so high that even as the Director of the Xia Academy of Sciences, he couldn't accurately estimate it in a short amount of time.

But he could be sure that Bell, MIT, and other top three research institutions globally couldn't produce this technology at present.

In other words.

This is very likely also the work of that Mysterious Organization's mysterious research team within the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization Organization.

Damn, this is outrageous. Bell and MIT laboratories combined probably aren't enough for one hand of your Organization, are they?

“If we follow our speculation, this should be the most reasonable, right?” Zheng Lixing expressed his thoughts: “They have been hidden in the 'dark side' of the world for at least one or two hundred years. Who knows how terrifying their technological reserves truly are?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuli was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “That seems to be the case.”

A massive Organization hidden in the Eagle Nation and even Europe for over a century, whose members have already spread across the world.

What terrifying talent and technological reserves do they possess? How ridiculously advanced is their technology?

Events like the global exodus of scientists during World War II, the Cold War, the dissolution of the former Great Mao, and other major events that shaped the world, this Organization could have gathered a large number of talents and technologies.

Not to mention, these are events that happened only in the past few decades, not spanning hundreds of years.

After a brief exchange of a few words, the two did not delve too deeply into this detail.

After all, they've already given you the technology; why should Da Xia care where they got it from?

Putting that question aside.

“Old Zhang, let’s take this opportunity to ask something else.” Zheng Lixing seemed to have thought of something and quickly instructed: “Is their Organization willing to make an initial exposure of technologies related to 'B-2', 'F22', and so on?”

“If not, we can plan accordingly.”

A hint of seriousness flashed in Zhang Yuli's eyes: “Alright, this is a rare opportunity.”

The one currently in contact with Da Xia is precisely the controller or absolute high-level of this Great Wall Watcher Organization, eliminating the need for time-consuming relay through other mid-level cadres.

Such an opportunity is quite rare, and it is best to raise this question now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuli decisively typed a line on the keyboard and sent it to the other side.

“Regarding this technology, our side is very satisfied. May I ask what conditions your Organization requires Da Xia to fulfill?”

“Please feel free to state and command anything we are capable of doing.”

“Additionally, regarding the technologies and physical weapon equipment such as the 'B-2 Bomber' that your Organization has provided multiple times before, what level of confidentiality does Da Xia need to maintain, and what restrictions need to be placed on 'leakage situations'?”

In addition to the usual inquiry about what price Da Xia needs to pay for the several technologies sent this time, and that kind of reply.

The most important part was the last paragraph of Zhang Yuli's reply.

How does Da Xia need to implement 'confidentiality' measures, and can some related secrets be exposed?

On the other side.

Lu Ze, in his LLNL employee dormitory, watched the lines of text on the light screen with great interest.

After a long period of thought, he muttered to himself: “It seems Da Xia isn’t quite sure whether these technologies can 'see the light of day'.”

This makes sense, after all, these are technologies obtained from the Eagle Nation, and even physical weapon equipment like the B-2 and C-5M aircraft have already been handed over to Da Xia by him.

After research is completed, will Da Xia just dismantle all these physical objects? That would be too wasteful.

Another point is that if related research is accidentally leaked or detected by the Eagle Nation, the fact that Da Xia is reverse-engineering based on 'F22' and 'B-2' could bring great trouble to the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization Organization.

And the appearance of physical objects in the public eye would cause an even greater global 'shock'.

Therefore, both sides must communicate well in advance, no matter what.

However... Lu Ze was not worried about these things at all, because they simply wouldn't happen.

How many people have come into contact with 'B-2', 'F22', etc., at exhibitions? It's a vast number, in the tens of thousands.

Just because they had a few seconds of contact, they should be thoroughly investigated? You don't investigate project managers, you don't investigate research teams, you investigate those who attended air shows? Who would be so foolish?

Moreover, 'replication' is completely undetectable; even if the Eagle Nation digs up the entire Earth, if they can find a single hair, he'd admit defeat.

So, why should he stop Da Xia from exposing it?

Lu Ze suddenly thought of a very interesting scene that was about to unfold and immediately replied with a few lines of text.

Here.

Inside the Xia Academy of Sciences.

As Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing waited anxiously, time ticked by minute by minute.

The worry in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.

They were worried that the other party would not agree, but also somewhat worried that the other party would be too 'agreeable'!

After a while, an email reply came back.

“Regarding what 'remuneration' is needed, we still need some time to discuss before giving a reply.”

“Regarding the 'exposure' point, our Organization has no objection whatsoever.”

“If Da Xia feels the need to 'expose', then proceed with 'exposure'; there is no need to overly worry about our safety.”

“Since these technologies and items have already been handed over to Da Xia, this transaction is declared complete. Nominally, they already belong to you, and we will not interfere with any of your handling actions.”

Staring at these lines of text.

“What does this mean??” Zhang Yuli frowned deeply, beginning to ponder: “Could this be a test from the other party?”

Facing such an unexpected development, he dared not jump to conclusions.

What if this Organization was testing Da Xia?

If they truly put the other party in a disadvantageous situation, all cooperation would likely be cut off immediately.

He could not bear such a sin, and even Da Xia as a whole could not bear it; extreme caution was necessary.

However.

Zheng Lixing immediately denied it: “It’s not as complicated as you think, Old Zhang…”

“Their meaning is likely that they have no concerns at all, and they are not worried that these weapon equipment and technologies will be discovered by the Eagle Nation.”

He felt that the leader of this Mysterious Organization was very much to his liking.

This straightforward personality, wasn't that just him?

“But, there’s no reason to be so arrogant, is there??” Zhang Yuli was still somewhat suspicious.

Even with no concerns, they wouldn't just let Da Xia 'dispose' of them, would they?

Unless, these things simply couldn't be leaked, in which case there would be no talk of leakage.

He seemed to guess something: “Hiss… could it be that the source of these technologies is a higher level?”

These technologies were obtained from Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, and the physical objects had long been completely destroyed in the archives through various means.

How can you, Eagle Nation, investigate?

Every B-2 can be accounted for, and not a single C-5 transport aircraft is missing. Where would you investigate?

In that case, the personnel this Mysterious Organization has placed in the Eagle Nation's military-industrial complex and various overseas bases, the people they've bribed, might not be insignificant.

“That’s not surprising, it’s capitalism after all…” Zheng Lixing curled his lips: “It’s not impossible for them to do such things.”

As long as there are profits, their 'capital' won't care who they do business with, and they might even consider changing the Eagle Nation's national title.

If Da Xia could bring enough profit, even changing the Eagle Nation to 'Xia Nation' could be discussed.

After understanding that the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization Organization was willing to accept the exposure of these technologies and items.

Then, there was only one most important point left in this contact.

Zhang Yuli's gaze sharpened, and his fingers quickly typed another line of text.

“Our previous invitation for the 60th-anniversary celebration.”

“May I ask… does your side have an interest?”

(Second update!! It's the end of the month, if you have monthly passes, please give them!)
