The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 327: False and empty

The leader looked at the newspaper Liu Hua had just been reading and said with a smile, "You're reading about the Star Wars program too?"

Liu Hua nodded and smiled, saying, "All that empty talk and grandiose stuff is just a bunch of deceptive tricks."

The leader shook his head: "You're still young and don't understand how dangerous this is. Once the US's Star Wars program is completed, all our missiles, and even nuclear weapons, that could threaten them will no longer be able to threaten them. At that time, we will have to depend on others."

Liu Hua nodded: "Of course I understand that, but you are looking at it from a strategic perspective, while I am looking at it from a technical perspective, which is a different viewpoint."

The leader leaned back on the sofa and said with great interest, "That's a very strange argument of yours. Please elaborate on it."

"The United States' space technology is undoubtedly advanced, I don't disagree with that, but to say that it can achieve what he described in Star Wars, I think it's absolutely impossible."

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Hua frowned: "I think the development of the United States' aerospace technology in recent years has actually slowed down, or even stagnated. Since the last moon landing in 1972, they have never mentioned going to the moon again. Why? Is the moon so unattractive? The moon has such rich resources, yet they are not tempted by them. It certainly cannot be because they are really disdainful."

"What's that for?"

"Because they don't have the technology to do it."

The leader shook his head: "Impossible. Although there are rumors that their moon landing program was faked, I think it's impossible. It's a huge lie, so well-laid that I don't believe it."

"I'm skeptical about their manned lunar landing program. I believe they've definitely landed on the moon, but I have some doubts about their manned lunar mission." Liu Hua smiled dismissively: "Let me just mention one point, and you'll see that their aerospace technology isn't actually as advanced as you imagine."

"You said."

“F1, RS25, RL10,” Liu Hua said, counting on his fingers. “These are the main launch vehicle engines of the great United States. They were basically developed before the 70s. Since the 70s, they haven’t produced a single new engine. Do they not want to design one? I think they probably can’t.”

"What does this have to do with the Star Wars program?"

"Without significant advancements in aerospace technology, they suddenly proposed such a grand and high-tech planetary warfare plan." Liu Hua shook his head dismissively: "So I'm sure they're just bluffing."

"What's the purpose?"

“The Russian bear, of course.” Liu Hua smiled. “This is an open strategy. The Russian bear has never been willing to back down. Now they are deeply mired in the graveyard of empires in the Middle East. They have drawn so many young men to fight, and domestic production can no longer keep up. As their economy continues to decline, this move by the US is an open strategy.”

"Open conspiracy?"

Liu Hua nodded: "That's right. He knows that Russia is not to be outdone, so he proposed such a big plan. If you follow suit, your economy will easily collapse because Russia's economy is really not that good."

“If we don’t go along, the Russian bear will be scared. If the other side succeeds, we’ll have no way out.” The leader said with a smile, “Especially since this plan was proposed by his old rival, if we don’t go along, we’ll easily be ridiculed by the whole world.”

Liu Hua smiled, and the leader clapped his hands: "I've also consulted some experts, and none of them raised any objections. They just expressed their determination to me, saying that if the Americans can do it, then we definitely can too." "I believe it too," Liu Hua said matter-of-factly. "If the Americans can do it, then we definitely can do it even better. The reason those experts didn't raise any questions is mainly because the Americans' current technological development is really advanced, giving people the illusion that the Americans are almost omnipotent."

The leader asked curiously, "Then why don't you believe it?"

"Why should I believe them? They're not that powerful at all; they have no real foundation." Liu Hua said sarcastically, "They're an immigrant nation that's now plundering high-tech talent from all over the world. The reason they've become a technological powerhouse is because they've plundered countless scientists from Germany, as well as from China. Once they lose the help of these two countries, you'll see their technological level plummet."

"That's a very insightful statement," the leader said with a smile. "According to you, Star Wars is just a hollow, pretentious thing with no substance whatsoever."

"Not really. At least a few things can be accomplished."

"what?"

Liu Hua thought for a moment and said, "Global Positioning System, which uses satellites to achieve global positioning, helps them to hit missiles more accurately."

"There's also the missile defense system. If they can achieve precise global positioning this time, coupled with the assistance of military satellites and high-speed computers, they can implement a missile defense system."

"Any more?"

"The internet, our country has the internet now, but it's just a network connecting various universities and research institutes, it's the prototype of the internet. They can take advantage of this to realize the civilian use of the internet." Liu Hua said with a smile, "This is definitely a blue ocean market, containing trillions of dollars in profits."

"If he wants a global network, should we join?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Of course we have to join. When we were designing the network, I thought that the Internet would penetrate into all aspects of people's lives. Without joining the international Internet, our country will not be able to connect with the international community. However, I think we should build a firewall at the national level so that we can't let any wind blow in."

"That's true, you should take good care of yourself."

Liu Hua said with a smile, "It's not just about protecting ourselves, but also about protecting those foreigners. Strictly speaking, if we're not punished for our words, our fighting power is much stronger than those silly foreigners."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Of course, our people study politics and philosophy from a young age. What are those books teaching? In ancient times, they would be all about dragon-slaying techniques. If we really let them unleash their full power, they will definitely let the foreigners know what it means to be a king or nobleman, and what it means to have the heavens over and the yellow heavens rise."

"Hahahaha." The leader laughed heartily: "That's the truth. Who among our people doesn't know the Thirty-Six Stratagems?"

After laughing, the leader asked, "Do you think it's necessary for the military to use the internet?"

“It is necessary, but it should be a dedicated network, isolated from the international internet,” Liu Hua suggested. “If the military were also networked, communication would be much faster, which is a prerequisite for an anti-missile system.”
