Chapter 200 Room Temperature Superconductivity?
Secretary of State Jack looked at the intelligence in his hand, his hands trembling slightly!
This intelligence was too important for them!
It could be said that it completely dispelled their worries and doubts!
Previously, they were still worried about whether the Dragon Kingdom had secretly found some new reliance to deal with this energy crisis!
Now they were certain!
The Dragon Kingdom indeed had a reliance!
However, in their view, this reliance was not worth mentioning!
"They actually thought of expanding the power transmission network to cope with this energy crisis?"
"Are they preparing to return to the days of burning coal from decades ago?"
"It seems the Dragon Kingdom has completely resigned itself to fate this time!"
The Dragon Kingdom had finally managed to achieve an upgrade in its energy structure over these years!
Shifting from relying mainly on coal power in the past to other energy sources!
They had finally managed to make the sky a bit bluer!
Now they were going back to the old path!
However, coal power generation has many flaws: low power generation efficiency, environmental pollution, cost issues, consumption of energy reserves, and overdraft of national strength!
It could be said that the Dragon Kingdom was already showing initial signs of regression!
The experts' analysis—the prediction that the Dragon Kingdom would regress by decades in this crisis—seemed to be coming true!
And coal was simply not enough to support the entire industry of the Dragon Kingdom!
It was foreseeable that the Dragon Kingdom's industry would inevitably suffer significant losses!
Economic regression was a foregone conclusion!
Furthermore, once the Dragon Kingdom's energy reserves were exhausted, it would suffer a real shock, and by then, the country would be in chaos!
And these problems could not be solved by burning coal at all!
"The Dragon Kingdom is finished!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Secretary of State Jack's face!
He looked at Smith and finally gave him a pleasant look!
"Your CIA has finally shown me the value it should have!"
"This intelligence is crucial. Keep it up. I want to know the specific details of the Dragon Kingdom's power transmission network expansion!"
"Although this is not enough to support them through this energy crisis, it allows us to roughly guess how long the Dragon Kingdom can hold on!"
Smith nodded calmly: "Shortly after we obtained this intelligence, I already sent people to dig deep into the relevant information!"
"I think before long, we will know exactly what is going on with the Dragon Kingdom's power transmission network!"
As they were speaking, a phone inside the CIA suddenly rang!
Smith was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the phone!
Afterwards, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a knowing smile!
"Okay, I understand!"
"You did well!"
After hanging up the phone, Secretary of State Jack immediately asked:
"Is it the latest intelligence?"
Smith nodded, revealing a mischievous smile:
"That's right!"
"Our spy managed to get some good stuff!"
At this moment, the smile on Secretary of State Jack's face could hardly be contained!
...
In one of the Dragon Kingdom's busy construction sites.
The Chief Engineer in charge of the circuits walked hurriedly towards Su Chen, preparing to report on the work.
Sunlight spilled over the construction site, various mechanical equipment roared, and workers shuttled through it, busy and orderly.
The Chief Engineer came to Su Chen, saluted, and said:
"Chief Su Chen, the circuit renovation work required for the Eternal Day Project has entered the final stage, and all tasks are proceeding according to plan."
"Currently, the inventory of superconducting cables is sufficient to meet the subsequent needs of the project."
Su Chen nodded. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the person in charge's expression was a bit unusual!
He pondered for two seconds and asked: "In the final stage, has some tricky problem appeared?"
The person in charge Zhao Gang, who was standing to the side, said to the Engineer at this time:
"Since Chief Engineer Su is here, if you have any problems, just ask him!"
The Chief Engineer sighed helplessly:
"It's not a problem with the project; the project is actually going very smoothly. It's just that during the construction process, due to my poor supervision, some situations occurred!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"It's just that occasionally, cables are stolen at the construction site!"
"We have already strengthened security measures, but some cables have still been stolen!"
"After some effort, we recovered some of the stolen cables, but... some are still missing. I sent people to investigate and discovered that they may have already flowed abroad."
"Judging from the clues currently in hand, this seems to be the act of Eagle spies."
A trace of worry appeared on the Chief Engineer's face.
Zhao Gang, upon hearing this news, changed his expression drastically!
"Old Li, such important news, why didn't you inform me?"
"These are all state secrets. If they flow abroad, that's not good!"
The Chief Engineer was also very helpless.
He was so anxious he was pacing in circles!
During this time, he had been focusing on the project and didn't have time to deal with these things!
Moreover, he was not responsible for security work in this area, but as the Chief Engineer of the circuit project, he had to take full responsibility!
After hearing this, Su Chen pondered for a moment and then said calmly:
"No need to worry. It's hard to keep such a large project completely secret, and the project is almost complete anyway!"
"Even if the Eagle gets the cables, it's useless. Perhaps we can use this to confuse the other side and keep them from figuring out our true situation."
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Su Chen had already said so, he couldn't say anything more!
Although the Chief Engineer still had some doubts, seeing Su Chen so calm, he felt a little more at ease.
Meanwhile, in a dim room at the Eagle CIA.
The lights were flickering.
The stolen cable was carefully placed in front of Smith, and the table was piled with various documents and materials.
Smith frowned and circled the cable a few times, trying to see some clues from the appearance, but apart from some markings and patterns, there was nothing special on the surface of the cable.
He muttered angrily: "What on earth is this? What the hell is the Dragon Kingdom doing?"
In desperation, Smith threw the cable to the materials expert on the side and said:
"Hurry up and analyze it to see what's special about this thing!"
The Secretary of State was very concerned about this matter, but as it happened, he had urgent business to attend to, so he let Smith come over to take a look first!
The result was that he couldn't understand it either!
At this time, the materials expert took the cable, put on gloves, and started to carefully test it with instruments.
His eyes were focused and serious, and fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out on his forehead.
Time passed second by second, and the room was so quiet that only the slight sound of the instrument could be heard.
Suddenly, the materials expert looked at the sample data displayed on the testing instrument, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth slightly open, his face full of shock.
"This... is this f*cking Room-temperature superconductivity?"
His voice became somewhat trembling due to surprise.
Smith heard the expert's words and immediately leaned over, asking eagerly:
"Room-temperature superconductivity?"
"Are you sure?"
"How is this possible?"
The materials expert took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said:
"Judging from the current data, it is indeed Room-temperature superconductivity."
"And the characteristics of this material are simply amazing. If the Dragon Kingdom is really using this kind of superconducting cable on a large scale, then they... will have a huge breakthrough in the field of energy transmission!"
Hearing this, Smith felt as if a thunderbolt had rolled through his head!
How was this different from what they had thought before?
What on earth is the Dragon Kingdom doing again?
