225: Chapter 225 The foundation is stable!

"Seventh-generation Communication!"

The moment these words left Lin Yuan's mouth, the dozens of well-informed old experts in the hall froze in place.

No one spoke.

No one moved.

Several top titans in the field of information engineering looked at each other, their eyes filled with an almost absurd sense of shock and horror.

Seventh generation?

Not the sixth, but the seventh?

The silence lasted for a full five or six seconds.

An old academician with thinning hair, who had spent most of his life in communication engineering, let out a long breath of turbid air and slowly shook his head.

"Academician Lin, oh Academician Lin... you really don't play by the rules."

His voice was raspy, carrying a sigh of extreme complexity.

"The domestic Fifth-generation Communication base stations have only just been set up."

"The people across the country are still adapting to the network speed changes brought by 5G."

"The Other Side of the Ocean is even still haggling with us over 5G patent barriers..."

He looked up at the hard drive lying quietly on the table.

"Who would have thought that Academician Lin's side would already have the technology for the sixth, or even the seventh generation of communication, ready to go."

There was no doubt in his voice, only pure amazement.

It carried the dizziness of being pushed hard from behind by the tide of the times, thrust onto the crest of the wave before even finding one's footing.

Before he could finish, a communication expert nearby suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His grin reached his ears, his tone filled with undisguised playfulness and mockery.

"Speaking of which, I've received some news."

"Ever since our Xia Country's Fifth-generation Communication was fully rolled out, those people on The Other Side of the Ocean have been left far behind by us in communication technology."

"I heard that recently they've become completely desperate, selling everything they have to pour funds into 6G research and development, straining every nerve to overtake us on the curve in the next generation of communication."

"That posture is truly a 'burn the boats' effort."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Then, dozens of old experts reacted at the same time, clapping and laughing one after another.

"Hahaha!"

"Good heavens, when they've exhausted their hearts and souls and finally figure out a bit about 6G, they'll look up and find we're already using 7G. Can you imagine... how wonderful their expressions will be?"

"That's not overtaking on a curve; that's stepping on the gas and driving straight into a ditch from the curve!"

Hearty laughter echoed through the conference hall.

These old men, who had spent their lives in scientific research and had been stifled by technical blockades for most of their careers, felt comfortable to their very bones just thinking about those people on The Other Side of the Ocean performing a futile task.

When the laughter subsided.

Lin Yuan raised his hand slightly to press down, and the noise in the hall subsided accordingly.

"In the field of communication technology, core underlying algorithms are very important."

"But algorithms alone are not enough."

He tapped lightly on the hard drive with his index finger.

"The coverage of the sixth and seventh generation communication networks is no longer limited to surface base stations. To truly achieve global, dead-zone-free, all-domain, all-time, zero-latency communication coverage..."

"We must rely on space-based satellite arrays."

Lin Yuan looked straight ahead, his tone unhurried, but every word carried the weight of a thousand catties.

"This hard drive contains not only the core algorithms but also a complete set of 'space-based networking satellite manufacturing technologies'."

"Everything from the design of the satellite body to the deployment plan for inter-satellite laser links, and the industrial process for rapid mass launches, is covered."

He paused for a beat, the corners of his lips curling into a meaningful arc.

"Right now, for our Xia Country, there is an excellent strategic window."

"The low-Earth orbit resources in global outer space are currently basically unoccupied."

"Whoever launches satellites first takes the positions first."

Lin Yuan spread his hands, his tone matter-of-fact.

"First come, first served. It's only natural."

The words fell.

Everyone present's pupils shrank suddenly, instantly understanding the terrifying strategic depth behind these words.

After all, the high-quality frequency bands and orbital resources of low-Earth orbit are finite.

Whoever lays out the constellation network first will choke the necks of those who come later!

This was no mere communication project!

This was an open scheme to seize the space above the Blue Planet!

"Understood!"

An old chief engineer from the aerospace system slapped his thigh, his face flushed red.

"Academician Lin, please rest assured, we will not hold you back!"

Several communication experts nearby also patted their chests repeatedly.

"Right!"

"Occupy the positions in the sky first!"

Lin Yuan looked at this group of old military industrialists whose fighting spirit had been completely ignited and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, his finger moved over to point at the remaining two hard drives on the table.

The atmosphere in the hall grew tense again.

Lin Yuan pointed to one of the hard drives.

"What's loaded in this fourth hard drive is aerospace composite power technology."

"Including Aerospace Variable Cycle Engine Technology and Oxygen-free Force Field Drive Devices..."

Lin Yuan's voice echoed in the hall.

"Only with these truly era-spanning hearts can the aerospace behemoths of the south heaven gate project truly break free from the shackles of the earth and fly into the high heavens."

"Oxygen-free force field drive?!"

A titan of dynamics, who had been relatively calm just now, shuddered violently the next second after hearing these words.

He stared fixedly at the hard drive on the table, his breathing becoming extremely rapid.

Before everyone could recover from the subversive shock in the field of dynamics.

Lin Yuan's finger had already slid to the last hard drive.

"As for this last hard drive."

"Inside are the complete structural drawings for the two major Aerospace Fighters, Xuan Nu and White Emperor."

Lin Yuan spread his hands, a slightly helpless smile appearing on his face.

"The hundred-thousand-ton scale of the south heaven gate carrier is too large; it's not realistic to build it in a short time."

"But these two Aerospace Fighters..."

He tilted his head slightly and said in a relaxed tone.

"Their size is relatively small. We can prioritize building them first to test the waters."

Hearing the words "relatively small" and "test the waters."

The corners of the mouths of all the experts present began to twitch uncontrollably.

Xuan Nu!

White Emperor!

Those were Aerospace Fighters capable of overturning the modern air combat landscape!

Any one of them taken out could shoot down the most advanced fifth-generation fighters from The Other Side of the Ocean like turkeys!

Such major national instruments were, in this young man's mouth, merely "relatively small" products for "testing the waters"?!

While the old experts felt extremely speechless, they couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

After all, compared to a hundred-thousand-ton Aerospace Carrier...

These two Aerospace Fighters were indeed... relatively small!

"Alright."

Lin Yuan clapped his hands and withdrew his gaze.

"This is the first batch of materials. Everyone, please digest them as soon as possible."

"Subsequent materials will be issued one after another according to the project nodes."

Shen Changhe took a deep breath and stepped forward.

His hands trembled slightly, but he gathered the five hard drives on the table one by one with extreme solemnity, holding them in both hands as if he were holding the entire future of Xia Country.

"Academician Lin."

Shen Changhe's voice was a bit hoarse, but every word was powerful and resonant.

"Rest assured, leave it to us!"

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile.

In the hall, dozens of experts were already rubbing their hands together, their eyes shining, wishing they could rush back to their respective workshops and start working right now.

Standing behind the long table, Lin Yuan looked at this group of high-spirited backbones of Xia Country, the corners of his lips slowly curling up.

The foundation of south heaven gate is secure.

However...

Lin Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and the frantic bullet comments and countless crazy ideas from the morning's live broadcast flashed through his mind.

The aerospace air defense network is being laid out.

Then individual combat power on the ground should also be improved simultaneously.

"Since south heaven gate is now completely on track..."

Lin Yuan calculated secretly in his heart, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Then next, it's the mechas' turn!"
