"Hitech's new molten salt formula, heat dissipation system optimization solution, special capacitor for high-frequency and fast charging, and W beam line's sputtering mirror coating process."

"All the documents are here. How long will it take to implement them?"

In the Nantianmen base, Chen Nian pointed to a thick stack of documents on the table and asked Lin Yongming.

"One month, no more than 45 days at the latest."

Lin Yongming answered immediately.

"Our manufacturing capacity has been stretched to the limit. Currently, there are more than 4,000 private, state-owned and military enterprises involved in the manufacturing of the Nantianmen project across the country. This is an unprecedented open project and has achieved unprecedented high efficiency."

"I can assure you with all my heart that except for the core components involving top-secret technology, if you ask for anything else, I will solve it for you within 6 hours."

"For example, for an ordinary fairing, if you want to modify it now, as long as the change is not large, it will take 1 hour to produce the drawing, 2 hours to verify, 3 hours to issue the manufacturing, 4 hours to leave the factory, and 5 hours Using a blowing tunnel, it took 6 hours to complete the replacement and assembly.”

"The process is the same for other parts, so you don't have to worry about this one."

"Of course, the problem with lasers is bigger. The main reason is that the process implementation requires additional equipment support. This is also the main reason why the time is extended to 45 days."

"However, our test flight does not need to carry weapons, right?"

"That's right."

Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then continued:

"As long as we can fly, as long as we can achieve the predetermined goal, we will be more than half successful."

"Nantianmen-1 will become the most deterrent non-nuclear weapon in human history. No strategic bomber or nuclear submarine will be enough in front of it."

Having said this, Chen Nian looked out through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the office. On the huge apron, a giant vehicle that was beginning to take shape was lying there quietly.

It adopts a wing-body fusion design, with a wingspan of an astonishing 600 meters and a platform length of 390 meters. If viewed from the air, it looks like an enlarged version of a delta-wing strategic bomber.

But in fact, its aerodynamic shape is much more complex than that of a so-called bomber, because its height reaches an absolutely unconventional 60 meters.

Among them, nearly 40 meters in height is a dedicated hangar, while the remaining 20 meters is the self-sustaining functional area of ​​the entire aerial platform.

Such a height makes it extremely bloated. Objectively speaking, it really looks like a huge triangular tile.

As for the staff who are constantly assembling and debugging around it, the only thing they have to do is to make this brick fly.

"I honestly didn't expect that the matter of force flying bricks would really come true in a 'literal sense'"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Lin Yongming laughed.

"This is actually one of our future development directions."

"To be honest, after the two problems of energy + superconductivity are solved, the development of aerospace engines has entered a new stage."

"In the past two years, the power of the engine has almost doubled, and it has almost caught up with the development speed of semiconductors back then."

"Not only our Kunlun, Emei, Taihang, and Xiangyun series engines, but also General Motors, Pratt \u0026 Whitney, Russia's United Engine Manufacturing Group, and even the smaller Rulica, all have new engine interviews."

"The situation can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming. In the future, it may not only be bricks that can fly, but irregular stones and even mountains may also fly."

"Didn't you read the gossip? There are even enthusiasts in Russia who have started purchasing, hoping to realize the saucer-shaped aircraft in science fiction movies."

Chen Nian shook his head and asked subconsciously:

"I didn't see it - but shouldn't the United States be the first to try this thing?"

"It's already difficult for Americans to live, and they still want to make such a meaningless invention? Let alone the United States, Europe can't do it. Now only we and Lao Maozi can still do it."

"However, there are levels of torment."

Having said this, Lin Yongming showed an emotional and slightly sad expression on his face.

"We can try any cutting-edge technology. As long as you can imagine it, you can basically get excess capital investment. In advanced fields, there is direct support from the Office of Civil Development. Among various restrictions, in addition to confidentiality requirements, The rest is basically non-existent.”

"But Lao Maozi. What they have is actually just false freedom."

"Their technological development is limited by us within a certain framework."

"This situation really seems familiar."

"No way, this is the basic rule."

Chen Nian has no psychological burden on this. You can't say that since I have suffered such hardships, I don't need to use such methods to treat other forces, right?

It’s not about raising children, it’s about optimizing from generation to generation.

Strategies and methods are not right or wrong, only effectiveness.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is to provide them with appropriate breathing time to avoid getting anxious and letting them jump up and bite.

As the saying goes, a half-dead furry bear is a good furry bear.

On the apron, a huge fairing was hoisted to the top of the Nantianmen No. 1 platform by an equally huge gantry crane. The modular design and integrated hydraulic locking technology made the installation of this fairing extremely simple and easy.

Only half an hour passed from the time the fairing was lifted to when Chen Nian watched it being installed.

This is simply unimaginable efficiency, and on the other hand, it also indicates an obvious fact:

Even though it has not officially taken off, this platform already has the ability to be mass-produced and manufactured.

With the hoisting of the last fairing completed, this aerial platform finally took on its complete appearance.

It has no coverage at all, and is replaced by small standardized take-off sites one after another hidden in the fairing, like a helipad.

36 propulsion engines are located behind the platform, arranged in parallel in three rows.

Below it, there are hundreds of "hover engines" densely arranged.

If you look up from the bottom, the engine design and layout looks like a large honeycomb - but in fact, the design idea of ​​the decentralized power system is to ensure the reliability of this aerial platform to the greatest extent.

It functions like a watertight compartment on a ship. Even if more than one-third of the engine is damaged, it can still fly and land safely.

——

The design of four large engines to ensure flight in science fiction drawings is absolutely unfeasible. It is just a simple imagination based on existing aircraft and is not suitable for actual use at all.

Time was still passing by minute by second. Chen Nian was discussing the details of the follow-up project progress with Lin Yongming in the office, while the light outside the window gradually dimmed.

But at this moment, the core energy test on the Nantianmen platform also started.

As the reactor starts up, the power supply to the entire platform is turned on.

The lights turned on instantly, illuminating the entire tarmac.

Intense pressure slanted out from top to bottom. Chen Nian looked at Nantianmen No. 1 in the glow. For a moment, countless adjectives flashed through his mind.

But in the end, these adjectives only condensed into a few.

Meanwhile, Bahia Honda.

Hidden in the jungle, Backhouse carefully observed the situation of the temporary US military positions in the distance through the thermal imaging telescope in his hand.

At this time, they are still close to 2,500 meters away from the opponent's position. For launching an attack, this distance is a bit too far, but for penetration operations, especially under the premise that both sides' reconnaissance and early warning methods are quite advanced, this distance is somewhat too close

His eyes swept across all the sentries outside the camp, and then he whispered to the adjutant beside him:

"Confirm safety, the other party is indeed shrinking its defense line."

"Their outer sentries have been withdrawn. It seems that they will rely on their equipment advantages to start building a permanent base."

"The United States played very steadily this time. I thought they would rush to attack Bahia Honda in pursuit of the first major result."

Hearing the voice coming from the radio, the adjutant shook his head slightly, and then replied:

"Their first major victory has been achieved - we are."

"But what you said makes sense. When the first round of offense went so smoothly, they actually chose to play it slow instead of taking the first springboard of the leapfrog attack. This is a bit..."

"It's hard to understand."

"Perhaps domestic pressure has forced them to suspend operations."

Backhouse said thoughtfully.

"No, maybe it's the pressure from China."

"I heard that their Nantianmen platform is about to undergo a test flight. The Americans must carefully weigh whether this war can continue."

"If the final outcome is failure, it's better to stop now."

Hearing the adjutant's answer, Backhouse couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Yes, yes, I also saw the reports, and I even saw the photos."

"It's really cool. It's the dream weapon of all soldiers. To be honest, I even thought about joining the Chinese army and joining the army, so that I might have a chance to board that vehicle."

"Even if it's just being a mechanic!"

"You can't be a mechanic. That's not a bomber or a fighter plane. It's something that has never appeared in human history!"

"You have to give it a try. The changing of the guard has begun."

Backhouse suddenly changed the subject, and with his command, the radio fell silent again.

"Target No. 1 has been found and has been marked."

Data began to be transmitted immediately, and the target location clearly marked by a red mark appeared on the screen of the head-mounted combat system of everyone in the infiltration team.

“Chinese equipment is really useful”

Backhouse couldn't help but sigh.

Ultra-long-lasting mechanical exoskeleton, head-mounted integrated combat command system, plus smart weapons.

All these state-of-the-art combat equipment have become the strongest guarantee for this infiltration operation.

"Target tracking has started. Target No. 1 has entered the lounge. We have 20 minutes."

"continue waiting."

Backhouse said calmly.

This time, the main goal of their infiltration operations was to kill the top commander of the temporary landing position in Bahia Honda. This was obviously not an easy task.

At first, they planned to use long-range weapons such as artillery and missiles to carry out assaults, but the shield ships parked on the sea and the rapidly deployed land-based Phalanx system made these plans difficult to implement.

Air raids are even less likely - just a matter of electromagnetic interference can block all small drone attacks.

Probably the most likely offensive plan is to use the Wu-9 reconnaissance-9 integrated reconnaissance and attack machine that can be mobilized in one's own hands to carry out an initiation attack. However, due to the sensitivity of this equipment, it cannot be used for offense at this stage.

Therefore, sniping became their only option.

However, with a sniper distance of more than 2,500 meters, there are too many factors that affect the accuracy of that shot.

Even a little breeze can make all the difference in the results.

Even with the assistance of intelligent systems, the success rate will not exceed 40%.

Therefore, in this operation, Backhouse arranged for four points to fire at the same time.

What he has to do now is to wait quietly for the opportunity, waiting for the target to walk to the sofa in the lounge and sit down.

When he is in that position, the four sniper positions are least blocked by walls. They only need to penetrate one wall to allow bullets to enter the lounge.

"The target has moved, he is going out."

The observer reported the information.

Backhouse was a little disappointed. He glanced at the time and saw that there were still 40 minutes left before the final evacuation time was set.

"Keep waiting, he will come back."

In fact, Backhouse was just speculating.

After three consecutive days of lurking, this team's physical strength has reached its limit, but in order to achieve the goal of "harassment", this is the price that has to be endured.

If you still can't find an opportunity to attack today, then withdraw as planned.

Just as this thought went through my mind, the voice of the observer suddenly came over the radio.

"The target is back and has arrived at the predetermined location."

The voice was calm, but Backhouse could still hear the suppressed emotions in it.

"Establish a data transmission channel and start calculating ballistics!"

"The ballistic calculation is completed and automatic calibration begins."

"Set window value."

"Understood, set the window value and wait for the wind speed to reach the target range."

Backhouse's heartbeat slowed.

This was an instinct he had developed over many years of fighting. The more critical the moment, the slower and more powerful his heartbeat would be.

"Wind speed 4m."

"The wind speed is 2.6 meters."

"Wind speed 0.9 meters."

"boom!"

Four gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

There is no need for anyone to pull the trigger, the smart weapon system does all the work.

"retreat!"

Backhouse did not observe the results of the sniper attack at all. All the lurking team members abandoned all their heavy equipment and suddenly stood up and ran towards the evacuation point.

And just after they ran tens of meters away, the self-destruction device that had been arranged long ago exploded.

Those weapons that were worth thousands of dollars and could not be taken away were all destroyed.

At the same time, the US troops in the landing position were also in chaos.

Two 12.77mm large-caliber depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles penetrated the bulletproof armor of the lounge, beating their commander into a pile of minced meat.
