Chapter 280 For a Better World
"Sky Shield-2031 multi-domain coordinated defense exercise was a complete success. my country's space-based defense system achieved a quantum-level response breakthrough"

《The world's first cross-orbit intelligent interception verification is completed. The Sky Shield system's combat capability passes the highest level assessment》

"Defending a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind: Sky Shield-2031 Exercise Confirms the Full-Time Reliability of my country's Space Security Defense Network"

China did not remain silent for long.

The Sky Shield-2031 exercise will end at p.m. on October st.

At 4:30 pm, the news from China's three most important media outlets was released. This time, the official media's news was faster than any self-media.

The central media’s short video website released an exclusive edited video of Tiandun-2031 five minutes later.

The video starts with a calm sea surface. In the upper left corner, a typewriter special effect is used to slowly type out the latitude and longitude coordinates of the sea surface in the video and the fleet number.

Then a fleet of ships appeared in the camera, and the camera switched to a close-up. The launch bay on the deck suddenly cracked, and then the disposable aircraft took off.

From this moment on, the camera began to switch rapidly, showing seven completely different locations, seven different longitude and latitude coordinates, but this time, all the images were released together with the launch of the disposable aircraft.

Seven different pictures, the same thing is seven disposable aircraft rising into the sky with tail flames.

Then there were laser nets in the air, and the fuel tanks of the aircraft were burned through, and then they lost power in the air and fell directly...

When the last disposable aircraft fell, a line of large words appeared at the end of the video.

“National Day Gift: Warm congratulations on the successful conclusion of the Tiandun-2031 joint defense exercise, and the acceptance of the first phase of the world’s first planetary defense system, the Space-Based Denial Project!”

Public opinion was in an uproar.

The Space-Based Denial Initiative caused a sensation when it was first proposed. After all, building a planetary defense system sounds very exciting.

Many people's memories of that time were brought back. Back then, the official propaganda of the Space-Based Denial Program was to deal with the threat of foreign asteroids hitting the earth.

But judging from the video content released today, there seems to be a slight deviation. The target is not from outer space, but launched from the earth.

Many people suddenly realized that space-based denial has another meaning! Not only can it defend against outer space, but it can also defend against attacks within the Earth.

But these are not important, and are understandable. China cannot be expected to master the ability to control space meteorites from hitting the earth while mastering the planetary defense system.

As many people often say on the Internet, you can't always have it all.

Of course, another reason for the heated discussion is that this project has been dormant for too long!
It has been four years since the project was announced, and not a single piece of news has come out, which has led to endless voices of doubt on the Internet.

Especially this year...

Many people have revealed on the Internet that a large amount of money has been invested in this project. Even the funding for the moon landing project was stopped for this space-based denial project, but no results have been announced to the public.

It has been four years of silence. Apart from some papers on inter-satellite quantum communication, there has been no other eye-catching news. There is not even a single piece of news about the launch of a related satellite.

Of course, this does not mean that there have been no rocket launches in the past four years. This cannot be concealed either.

However, there have been many space projects in recent years, such as the Beidou system needs to add a satellite, the space station needs to send equipment, and various communication needs have increased sharply, so satellites need to be launched...

In short, the official has never said that any of the rockets launched in recent years have been used to build air-based defense networks.

Who could have thought that an exercise would suddenly take place during the National Day holiday?

And judging from the official video, such high efficiency is definitely something that more than just a defense satellite can handle.

What do you say?
What is a pleasant surprise? This is it.

Especially watching the high-speed disposable aircraft being shot down in an instant in the video will undoubtedly give everyone a full sense of security.

Many people may feel that they have been living in a peaceful era and do not realize it. But in fact, the Chinese nation is probably one of the most insecure countries in the world.

For example, no country in the world would build as many civil defense projects in cities as China does.

Ordinary people often come into contact with things like underground garages and subway stations in God knows how many residential areas and shopping malls.

There are also many projects that are generally unknown.

For example, underground hospitals and material storage depots, urban underground evacuation roads and camouflage projects, nuclear, biological and chemical protection projects, etc.

There are also many special enterprises that will build their own protection projects. Such as the State Grid, the three major telecommunications operators, etc., are all included in this list...

There is no way. After all, there are always villains who want to harm me. This is not only a way of thinking, but also a reality that China has experienced.

I don't have any luck, and I don't have any unrealistic fantasies about other players. So I can only improve myself.

Now it is equivalent to having double protection: the first level in the sky and the second level underground.

If according to official media reports, the first phase of Space-Based Denial System can currently cover the entire Asia, the sense of security will be even greater.

So there was no need for official media to guide anything, and countless self-media people quickly began to forward the news crazily.

The news broadcast started at 7pm and lasted 15 minutes longer than usual. Then it took a total of 20 minutes to report in depth on the past and present of the Space-Based Denial Project...

Then everyone finally knew that although the Space-Based Denial Project was made public, the confidentiality level during the project development process was the highest...

It turns out that after the project was approved, it was not that there was no progress, nor was there no news at all.

In fact, many of the papers published by the project team headed by Qiao Yu in major top journals are directly related to the communication, verification and electronic defense principles of space-based defense satellites.

The engineers involved in the Space-Based Denial project designed these satellites based on these papers.

It turns out that it took aviation professionals only four years to launch a network of ten satellites, and this test went far beyond the launch capability of transport rockets.

Behind the scenes, there is satellite design and manufacturing; production and manufacturing of high-power laser generators, design and development of new materials, and research on space charging devices...

A total of 27 enterprises and their subsidiaries, 16 universities and more than 90 laboratories across the country, with a total of more than 100,000 people directly or indirectly involved in this project.

Even though about 99 percent of the participants don't even know that what they are doing is actually contributing to the space-based denial project.

It turns out...well, there are too many things.

In the last five minutes, the young figure who had almost disappeared for the past four years finally appeared in the interview camera.

I haven't seen him for a long time. The young guy seems to have grown taller, his eyebrows and eyes have become more open, and he looks much more stable than four years ago.

But the only thing that hasn't changed is that he still speaks in a relaxed and interesting way. Even when he is facing the camera and being interviewed by the host, he is still as relaxed and Versailles!

"Ah? Pressure? There is no such thing! What kind of pressure can I have? If there is any pressure, it is probably because other people in the project team are under a lot of pressure.

To be honest, I am playing the role of a capitalist who exploits everyone’s hard work in this project. Anyone who doesn’t do a good job or can’t keep up with the R&D progress will be fired! There is no pressure at all.”

"Academician Qiao, so what you mean is that there have been many doubts about the Space-Based Denial Project on the Internet, but these have not caused any trouble to you and your team?
Is this because you have always believed that our planetary space-based defense plan will succeed since the project was launched? Is that correct? "

On the TV screen, in an office that looked unremarkable except for a red telephone on the desk, Qiao Yu sat there and smiled relaxedly.

"Haha, stop kidding. The people in the project team don't have enough time to do research every day, so how can they have time to go online and read netizens' comments!

Although I am not that busy, if I have that time, instead of surfing the Internet, I would rather read a few more papers, and also go out and have a relationship.

I don’t even have enough time to date, so how can I pay attention to what people say online? But just as you said, from the moment I proposed this project, I knew it would be a success!

The reason is very simple, because the theory has been solved! As for the engineering problems, China's basic industrial strength is there, and it has been investigated.

Let me put it this way, if this project cannot succeed in China, then even if other countries in the world work together, it will never succeed. We have it all! It would be unjust if we fail.”

……

It was probably because of Qiao Yu's last words that the leaders of the central media decided to broadcast this interview.

Otherwise, today's 7 o'clock news would probably only need to be extended by 15 minutes.

After all, when discussing such an important topic, it would seem a bit unserious to bring up something like not delaying love affairs.

The reason why this part was not cut out directly was also the decision of the senior leader.

For young people in their twenties, it is the best time to fall in love. This interview content perfectly shows the youth and vitality of young people in China.

Of course, the bulk of the content is what was deleted.

After all, Qiao Yu was interviewed for a full twenty minutes at the Asia Situation Awareness Center, but the broadcast content had been edited to only four minutes and thirty seconds.

Even so, they had to fight all the way to the top leaders before they approved the broadcast. You can imagine how relaxed Qiao Yu was during the interview. Basically, everything that should and shouldn't be said in those precious video materials was said.

……

"This kid..." In Qiu Zhai's office, Old Yuan raised his finger and pointed at Qiao Yu on TV with great energy, then he couldn't stop laughing, and he couldn't think of what to say for a long time.

Qiao Yu grew up, and the old man also became older, especially when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face appeared deeper.

Qiao Xi, who was watching TV with the old man, also smiled gently.

Maybe it's because she has been living a good life since coming to the capital, more than four years have not left many traces on this woman's face.

Perhaps it was because she had stayed on campus for a long time and was influenced by knowledge, and she was in contact with professors, so this already gentle woman had an intellectual beauty.

"Well said!" After a long while, Old Yuan finally uttered three simple words.

"Don't praise him to his face all the time. This kid has always been very erratic and easily loses his way."

Qiao Xi said very pertinently.

"Haha, let him be proud! Qiao Xi, you are too strict with your child. If I were his age and could lead such a big project and succeed, I would be proud too!

Although Tian Yanzhen is not very good at academics, he is still lucky to have students! His greatest academic contribution in his life is to have such a good student!
It's a pity that we can't hold a celebration party for this kid today. He still has to be busy for a while. But it doesn't matter, we can hold a celebration party together when the time comes."

Yuan Zhengxin chattered happily.

"Qiao Yu will be busy for a while?" Qiao Xi was a little surprised.

To some extent, the mother and son actually have the same idea. After finally completing a big project, it is time to rest for a while. It is unreasonable to keep busy.

"Yes, he is in charge of more than one project. And from what I know, the little guy is mostly focused on another project.

In fact, the first generation of quantum simulation computer engineering prototypes have already been released. The reason why it has not been publicly reported is that we are waiting for today's Sky Shield exercise to succeed!

So next, Qiao Yu will be busy with the mass production of the first generation of quantum simulation computers, determine the time for the product launch of the first generation of computers, and also host the conference. "

Mr. Yuan explained with a smile.

After saying this, perhaps feeling that he had not said enough, he added, "You always say that Qiao Yu gets carried away when we praise him, but I don't think so. He was very clear-headed from the beginning to the end.

Otherwise, why would they keep the quantum simulation computer secret and not announce it even though it has been successfully developed? He just hopes that everyone in the world can be as calm as he is! "

Qiao Xi smiled. She suddenly realized that Mr. Yuan was becoming more and more like Qiao Yu's grandfather.

Because at that time Qiao Yu's grandfather was the same, always finding ways to praise Qiao Yu.

Of course, this child is indeed very outstanding, and seems to be getting better and better.

Thinking this in his mind, the old man suddenly changed the subject and talked directly about her.

"By the way, Qiao Xi, your son is so outstanding now. You should also work harder, right? Why haven't you finished your thesis yet? You have been researching this problem for four years, right?

The last time Qiao Yu met me, he mentioned this to me and asked me to hurry you up! You don't really want to spend ten years sharpening your sword, do you? I can't wait!
By the way, Qiao Yu also said that if you still can’t solve the problem this year, he plans to help you! Although it’s okay for a son to help his mother, I still hope you can do it yourself! You chose this topic yourself! "

Yuan Lao's tone was gentle and serious, while Qiao Xi looked inexplicably stunned...

This brat! He actually even cares about her?!
