102: Section 102

To gain this time,

then at the very least, the nation's military strength must not fall too far behind!

Even if they can't retaliate, they must at least possess the means to resist, making the opponent wary and hesitant to act rashly, thereby buying more time.

As for the nuclear weapon that everyone possesses, that is a last resort, to be used only when absolutely necessary.

In the current era, it is almost impossible to have an opportunity to use it.

Therefore, they need to surpass the opponent in conventional armaments, or at least catch up and not fall too far behind, both in quality and quantity.

Hence, today's meeting.

The senior leaders need to understand how much change this upgraded aircraft carrier can bring to Huaguo.

If it requires immense effort but doesn't yield significant improvements, they might switch to a different project direction.

However, Tian Xialong, standing here today with two panda eyes,

was full of confidence. He believed that the nation would absolutely not abandon this aircraft carrier project!

"Leaders!"

"Allow me to assert directly, once this Lin's Space-Air Aircraft Carrier is unveiled, the entire world..."

"will kneel before our Huaguo!!!"

Whoosh—

As soon as these words were uttered, all the senior leaders present were inevitably astonished, showing expressions of disbelief.

"Old Tian, are you not thinking straight because you haven't slept for days?"

"Old Tian, those who stand here listening to you speak are well aware; you don't need to exaggerate to give us confidence. You just need to state the facts."

"That's right, Old Tian. Even after the arrival of the epoch-making Nuclear Fusion project, I don't think we can achieve an immediate breakthrough. Development requires time and accumulation."

"This is even truer in the military. Other countries with nuclear weapon will only be wary of each other. It's impossible to simply crush an opponent with a single piece of military equipment."

"After all, our project is just an aircraft carrier, even if it has aerospace capabilities."

"A flying aircraft carrier, can its deterrence really be that great?"

"Furthermore, for such a large aircraft carrier to maintain flight, the energy consumption must be enormous, right?"

"If the cost is too high, it will instead drag down the overall development of our Huaguo, which would be a net loss!"

"Hearing you say that, I'm even more worried about whether this project can truly be implemented."

After all, those in high positions consider many aspects.

The overall development of a country, military is just one part of it.

If a country's resources are exhausted for a single project, it would be a net loss!

However, Tian Xialong faced the barrage of doubts without any hesitation.

Instead, he plugged in the USB drive he brought and displayed the meticulously organized data on the large projector screen for everyone to see.

"First, let me explain, the technology embedded in this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier is at least a century ahead of its time!"

"I mentioned before that it contains magnetic levitation technology that we simply cannot comprehend!"

"This is the main reason why this massive aircraft carrier can maintain flight."

"Furthermore, after carefully examining the instruction manual,"

"I learned about the weapon system of this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier!"

At this point, everyone couldn't help but lean in to listen. After all, if the hull itself already contained such advanced technology, what level would the built-in weapons reach? Everyone was incredibly curious!

Tian Xialong clicked the mouse, and the screen immediately switched to the next image.

What was displayed was a cannon barrel, dark with a hint of deep blue, connected to something they couldn't understand but could see a trace of electric light flashing through the breakthrough.

It looked exactly like a picture of a sci-fi weapon that would only appear in a sci-fi movie!

Seeing this, everyone's heartbeats quickened a few beats... "Is this...? The weapon of this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier? You've already made it directly?"

"Heavens! This looks too powerful, doesn't it?"

"I wonder what its actual range and power are. Old Tian, do you have the data yet?"

One of the leaders asked excitedly.

"Uh..." Tian Xialong felt a bit awkward, then scratched his head and chuckled, "No, this is just a screenshot from a sci-fi movie."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Tian Xialong, are you messing with us? Believe it or not, I'll remove you from your position!"

Tian Xialong gave two apologetic laughs, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Although this is just a screenshot from a sci-fi movie, it's mainly because I couldn't find any similar weapons existing in the real world to show you!"

"However, even though it currently only exists in sci-fi movies, once this project is completed, this weapon will no longer be science fiction."

Hearing this, the other leaders quickly realized.

In other words, this weapon, which looks entirely like something from a sci-fi movie, can actually be manufactured?

"Yes!"

"This equipment, named the 'Super Electromagnetic Cannon,' is one of the main cannons built into this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier!"

"The strike range of this cannon, according to the data provided, is 800 kilometers to 1,500 kilometers. The actual performance will only be known once it's built."

"Moreover, it states that with satellite positioning and locking, it can even achieve precise strikes!"

"???"

Precise strike from a thousand kilometers away???

Did you really not say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?

A distance of over a thousand kilometers, if calculated from Yanjing, to the capital of the neighboring Kimchi Country, is only 945 kilometers!

And while Cherry Blossom Island Nation is a bit further, making it impossible to directly hit the capital,

if it's just hitting cities on its periphery, starting from Modu, it is still achievable.

So, what does this mean?

Truth is only within range.

And then you're extending the range of truth to other people's territory, right?

Is this... I have to say, everyone present was already deeply moved after hearing Tian Xialong's description.

A precise strike from a thousand kilometers away also means defending against enemies from a thousand kilometers away!

If others want to attack, they would need to possess attack methods with a similar thousand-kilometer range.

Otherwise, even if an intercontinental missile with the longest attack range were fired, it could be detonated a thousand kilometers away, with no need to worry about it affecting one's own territory.

But this made them even more concerned about the cost of this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier, its maintenance costs, and whether it could actually be built.

After all, all of this was too far beyond their imagination.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Bai's abilities had been repeatedly proven to be truly miraculous,

and also confirmed with an ordinary car that this enhanced model represented real, achievable technology.

They would definitely think Tian Xialong was playing a trick on them.

However, now everyone had first confirmed the authenticity before holding this meeting, so no one doubted; they were just worried about other issues.

However, Tian Xialong already knew everyone's concerns.

And these were the very problems he himself had worried about, but after reading the entire instruction manual, those worries disappeared.

"Indeed, the technology contained in this Space-Air Aircraft Carrier is extremely advanced. If we were to develop it ourselves, with good luck, it would still take hundreds of years and the accumulation of several generations."

At this point, just as others were beginning to show expressions of regret, Tian Xialong changed the subject.

0 ...0

"But!"

"We have a shortcut to that step, and that is the instruction manual. Everything about this aircraft carrier, including the manufacturing process for a single screw, is detailed for us."

"Therefore, I can say that for us to realize it is entirely feasible!"

Within these three days, Tian Xialong had already verified the methods for some simple equipment.

He found that as long as he followed the instructions without overthinking why, he could produce it.

It was like asking ancient craftsmen to make a pistol; they would surely find it hard to understand the principle of a pistol, but if they were asked to make it according to a diagram,

although it would certainly not be as precise as one made with a machine tool, it could definitely reach the level of a black market pistol.

Unable to understand, but able to do!

This was Tian Xialong's greatest source of confidence!

"The manufacturing problem is solved, and as for the other concern of the leaders, that's not a problem at all either!"

"Regarding energy consumption, we have already solved Nuclear Fusion and can obtain a continuous supply of electricity through the Lin's Fusion Power device."
