33: Sanctions? Prepare for annihilation!
As soon as Eagle Sauce's sanction announcement was issued.
The entire Eagle Sauce alliance immediately began to state their positions.
Sakura Country: "We fully support Eagle Sauce's sanction plan!"
South Korea: "Whatever Eagle Sauce wants to do, we fully support!"
Australia: "We support Boss Eagle Sauce!"
Fei Hou Country: "Support!"
The countries of Europe: "Total sales ban!"
Even India, which had nothing to do with aerospace engine materials, came out to join the fun.
Even Big Mao Country remained silent.
It was clear that the rise of Great Xia Country during this period.
Had made many countries on the Blue Star feel a sense of crisis.
At the same time, the internet completely erupted.
"Eagle Sauce is at it again. I wonder how Great Xia Country will respond this time?"
"Yōxi! Excellent! We must suppress Great Xia Country's arrogance!"
"aishibal! Great Xia Country will definitely kneel this time!"
"Sure enough, Eagle Sauce was bound to retaliate!"
"..."
Across the international internet, nobody was optimistic about Great Xia Country this time.
After all, only five countries on Blue Star could manufacture aerospace engines.
Great Xia Country was one of them.
But many materials needed to be imported.
Once sanctioned, Great Xia Country's aerospace engine manufacturing would face material shortages.
Great Xia Country.
The internet had completely exploded.
The trending topics list was filled with news of Eagle Sauce's sanctions.
"Holy crap! Is Bald Eagle pulling this trick again?"
"Damn it! Eagle Sauce must be crazy now, sanctioning everything?"
"Darn it! I heard that much of the material used in the research and development of our domestic aerospace engines is imported. With these sanctions, doesn't that mean..."
The citizens were filled with anger over this news.
Recently, Great Xia Country had been celebrating several technological breakthroughs.
But the moment Eagle Sauce issued this announcement, it instantly filled the citizens with anger and frustration.
But there was nothing they could do.
They could only hope that Great Xia Country could break through the blockade quickly... One week later.
The Dean's office at the Xia Academy of Sciences.
Li Jianguo stared at the computer screen, his eyes burning with fury.
"Damn Eagle Sauce!"
"Trying to pull the same old trick again?"
Great Xia Country's technology had advanced by leaps and bounds recently.
The domestic production of aerospace engines was also accelerating.
In two years at most, it could be completely localized.
They wouldn't have to rely on imports anymore.
But Eagle Sauce launched the harshest sanctions right now.
Giving them no time to achieve a breakthrough.
"Darn it!"
Li Jianguo clenched his fists and pounded the table, filled with reluctance.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The door was shoved open.
Engineers from the Large Aircraft Aerospace Engine R&D Team rushed in, their eyes red.
"Dean Li!"
"News came from abroad that the batch of Single Crystal Blades we ordered has been completely intercepted!"
"Our Large Aircraft already has its fuselage assembled, and we're just waiting for the engine!"
"Now, now we don't even have spares!"
Engineer Wang, who was leading them, spoke with anger and frustration.
The other Engineers lowered their heads, none of them speaking.
But their eyes were full of anger, frustration, and unwillingness to accept defeat.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire office became oppressive.
They clenched their fists until their knuckles were white, their eyes bloodshot.
They had lasers that could shoot down Eagle Sauce's satellites!
The 1-nanometer quantum chip had also been manufactured.
Even the Solid-state Magnetic Field Battery was already in mass production.
Yet, when it came to aero-engines, they were being bullied!
Engineer Wang and the others were truly unwilling to accept this.
After working so hard for so long, were they going to fail at the last step?
Li Jianguo looked at them, his heart sinking further.
He wanted to comfort them, but he couldn't open his mouth.
The facts were right in front of them!
Without an engine, even the most advanced aircraft was just a pile of scrap metal.
Just then.
The office door was pushed open.
Lin Chen walked in carrying a laptop.
"Old Li, Engineer Wang, stop worrying."
"Regarding the aerospace engine issue, I have a solution!"
Everyone instantly looked up.
Engineer Wang was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "Chief Designer Lin, I know you are capable, but aero-engines aren't chips..."
His meaning was clear.
Aerospace engines had absolutely no connection to chips or Laser Weapons.
In fact, aerospace engines were far more complex and precise than the other two technologies.
It was a systems engineering project combining various high technologies.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Lin Chen's ability.
But specializing in different fields was like separating mountains!
"Engineer Wang, actually, they're all the same!"
"Why don't you take a look at my proposal first!"
Lin Chen said, opening his laptop.
And clicked open the plan for the Anti-gravity Plasma Engine.
"You really have one?!" Engineer Wang was skeptical, but leaned in to look.
"Anti—Anti-gravity Plasma Engine?"
"What is this?"
He had heard of Anti-gravity!
He had also heard of Plasma Engines.
But combining them made it sound a bit abstract.
Was this something Blue Star's current technology could achieve?
Just the Anti-gravity Technology alone—no country had yet moved it out of the laboratory.
It was all just theoretical technology.
The same went for the Plasma Engine.
It hadn't even entered the laboratory stage.
They were technologies dreamed up by scientists.
Yet now.
Lin Chen had directly combined the two technological proposals.
Was this possible???
Li Jianguo also leaned over, and when he saw the name of the proposal, he was somewhat incredulous: "Little Lin, is this, is this real?"
"Of course!" Lin Chen nodded. "I have already calculated the proposal; it is absolutely feasible!"
"Whether it's the New Type of Alloy!"
"Or the Core Rotor Anti-gravity Technology."
"They can all be easily realized!"
"Moreover, the lifespan of this engine starts at 100,000 hours, with a 100% yield rate."
"100,000 hours?" Engineer Wang's eyes were filled with shock.
He immediately asked Lin Chen to scroll down.
"Vertical Takeoff and Landing?"
"No need for imported materials? Entirely domestically produced materials?"
"The cost is one-tenth of current aerospace engines?"
He suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Chen, his voice changing pitch:
"Chief Designer Lin, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Yours has 50 times the lifespan of Eagle Sauce's most advanced aero-engine!"
"And the cost is so low? How is that possible?"
Lin Chen didn't explain, he just clicked open a Parameter Report.
This contained the real parameter reports from the tests he ran in the Inheritance Space.
Engineer Wang shifted his gaze, and after just a few glances, his voice began to tremble: "Is this real?! The strength is 100 times that of the most advanced foreign material currently available?"
"Guaranteed true!" Lin Chen replied with utmost seriousness.
Instantly, Engineer Wang was so excited his eyes turned red, and his voice choked up:
"Haha, our Large Aircraft Project finally has hope!"
"And our Fighter Jets won't need constant engine changes anymore!"
The Engineers in the office also gathered around to look at the proposal and parameters.
"Hiss! These parameters are terrifying!"
"Is this truly something we humans can achieve?"
"Chief Designer Lin is practically a Genius! To come up with a technical solution like this."
Everyone was filled with excitement, shock, and admiration.
All the previous frustration and anger vanished into thin air at this moment.
With this engine, Eagle Sauce can just wait to be destroyed right where they stand!
Li Jianguo looked at Lin Chen, his eyes moist: "Little Lin, you, you've given us yet another massive surprise!"
He pointed at the proposal on the computer. "With this, Eagle Sauce's sanctions are nothing but a joke!"
Lin Chen smiled: "Old Li, this is just the beginning."
"This engine can not only be installed on aircraft, but our Spacecraft can use it in the future too."
"Even if it's scaled down, Civil Airliners and Transport Planes can be adapted for it."
"It can even be used on Rockets!"
"It can be used on Rockets?" Li Jianguo was instantly overjoyed. "Doesn't that mean we can also achieve Reusable Rockets?"
"Correct." Lin Chen nodded. "Theoretically, it is all achievable!"
"The specific design will depend on the rocket's requirements!"
"Good!" Li Jianguo slapped his thigh in excitement.
Immediately after, he suddenly stood up and went straight to close the office door.
Then, with a serious expression, he said to Engineer Wang and the others: "Please place all your mobile phones on my desk!"
After speaking, he immediately called Zhang Junfei of the Security Bureau.
This technology of Lin Chen's was too important.
So important that it concerned the National Destiny of the entire Great Xia Country!
It must be handled with the highest priority!
Engineer Wang and the others had no objection, handing over their phones immediately and waiting where they were... Meanwhile.
The White House of Eagle Sauce.
Trump was holding the victorious report following the sanctions, smiling smugly: "Great Xia's aero-engines, without our supply, can only stay grounded!"
The Minister of National Defense nodded: "Mr. President, it won't be long before they beg us!"
