The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 619 One More Time (A long chapter of 6,400 words)

At the same time, Van Gogh tipped Ms. Linda $10,000 on the X platform, which can be considered as casting out the bait.

Location: Also in North America, but in Los Angeles on the East Coast.

At this time, Uncle Bo did not know that he had at most one month left. With Van Gogh's official return to his country, he had been worrying about what to eat for the past few months. He had more eggs than he could eat and was about to run out of food.

He couldn't use these eggs, which he couldn't finish, to help the poor blond people around him.

Or perhaps they are housewives with black hair, brown hair, or even a head full of dreadlocks.

Even if Uncle Bo knew this, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Because at this moment, Uncle Bo happened to have some more important things to do: process the photos and videos they took while disassembling the high-tech watch.

They're really something!

Now, 25 years later, we live in an era of highly specialized and technologically advanced division of labor.

With the limited relevant knowledge he, Cross, and Old K possessed, they managed to completely strip them bare.

There is no way to develop a new generation of advanced chips based solely on some videos and photos.

Therefore, they believed the best course of action for dealing with these things was to give them to Zhou Kun, their former time-traveler companion.

Only with Zhou Kun's current influence and the terrifying scientific research resources he can mobilize could he possibly develop a new generation of chips in a short period of time.

Zhou Kun's situation is rather unique. Neither Hu Biao nor anyone else has his contact information, and they can't find a way to send these videos and photos to him.

Fortunately, Zhou Kun went to the Deyuelou flagship store in Panjiayuan for lunch yesterday at noon.

During this time, Hu Biao found an opportunity to tell Zhou Kun about the matter.

At the time, Zhou Kun did not hesitate at all and wrote down an email address for Hu Biao; now this email address has come into the hands of Uncle Bo.

After carefully checking the computer screen and confirming that the email address was entered correctly,

Uncle Bo quipped, "Luckily it's a corporate email address, otherwise, uploading and sending these 30+ gigabytes of high-definition photos and videos bit by bit would take forever."

With a light tap of his fingertip, an email was sent.

After the email was sent, Uncle Bo immediately put down the worry that had been weighing on his mind for some time and felt much lighter.

When he picked up his phone and sent the good news to Cross and Old K, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the three members of the electronic warfare team from the aforementioned transmigrator team.

They didn't go out to bars, bathhouses, or other similar places to celebrate this good news.

In light of this situation, all we can say is that they will still go out to celebrate during the first 20 days of their rest period. But now, with the next time travel approaching, they must hurry up and prepare some professional knowledge.

So, in the following period, Uncle Bo politely declined some invitations from neighboring wives whose husbands were not at home to come over and help repair water pipes or unclog sewers.

He picked up a document about vacuum tube computers and began to study it patiently.

To modern people, vacuum tube computers, which weigh tens of tons, are enormous, and consume a lot of electricity, seem like a joke.

However, during World War II, it was definitely cutting-edge technology with numerous applications.

Even though limited resources meant only simplified versions could be produced, they could still extract a great deal of good stuff from Uncle Sam's wealthy household.

Like Uncle Bo, Old K and Cross also learned some outdated or even obsolete electronic technologies from modern dimensions, technologies that the foreigners were able to master on their own not long afterward.

Such a learning process is naturally much more tedious than fixing water pipes or washing feet.

However, thinking about the various benefits that would be gained if they were given an opportunity to use their knowledge after traveling back in time, he was able to continue learning with peace of mind.

What Uncle Bo, Old K, and Cross didn't know was...

After Uncle Bo sent that email containing numerous disassembly photos and videos to Zhou Kun, what kind of huge trend will it trigger...?

*****
Time: Saturday, the 27th day of the rest period, around 5 p.m.

Location: Wanda Plaza in a certain city.

With the wizard carrying large bags in both hands, his beautiful girlfriend affectionately linked arms with him; the two chatted and laughed as they prepared to find a restaurant that interested them for a good meal.

The next thing to do, naturally, is to go see a movie and then find a hotel to further deepen our relationship.

After all, people aren't machines; they always need to relax!

Even though there are less than four days left before another time travel begins, the wizard who just researched and created a 40mm caliber DIY sniper grenade launcher...

I also think I need to relax my mind and body and get into the best state before I can participate in the next time travel, right?

So, it's rare that his beautiful girlfriend is free for the next two days.

And so, the scene of the two of them having a sweet date here came about.

It should be noted that the wizard's girlfriend is relatively young, but this is a relative statement.

She's relatively young compared to wizards who are already in their thirties; in reality, she's 19 this year, a sophomore in college, and definitely an adult.

What else? A wizard of this age, if he were to date a girl who is not yet an adult, wouldn't that be a sin?

Not long after, the two found a Hunan restaurant and decided to order a few dishes to have dinner, so they wouldn't have to go to the movies alone on an empty stomach.

The reason for choosing a Hunan restaurant is simple: Hunan cuisine is spicy and delicious, and the taste is really good.

Secondly, although this Hunan restaurant is located in a shopping mall, it has a transparent open kitchen, so you can clearly see that every dish is freshly cooked.

Instead of just microwave it or scald it with boiling water and serve it directly.

The wizard takes this very seriously; he's not against pre-preparing this ninth major cuisine.

The most crucial issue is that people cannot be so shameless as to sell these prefabricated items to others at exorbitant prices as if they were freshly made.

It's true that he's a wizard who's not short of money, but why is he being ripped off like a sucker?

Shortly afterward, the four dishes and one soup they ordered were served, proving that the claims made by some experts that "freshly cooked food" was simply nonsense.

And so, the two began to enjoy their meal.

However, the wizard had only eaten a small portion of rice when a sudden event attracted the attention of everyone in the shop, including customers, waiters, and even kitchen staff.

Specifically, there was a large television hanging on the wall, and a program that was usually played but almost no one watched it suddenly changed the picture.

Suddenly, two veteran hosts from CCTV-1's 7 PM program appeared on screen.

Even though both of these hosts are absolute veterans and professionals, they are always incredibly steady and reliable when reporting important news.

But at this moment, everyone could clearly see that the two of them were suppressing their excitement.

Wow! What incredible thing must have happened for these two seasoned professionals to deliver such an amazing performance?

The answers to these questions were soon found.

One of the male announcers then spoke in perfect Mandarin:

"Dear viewers, this is XXX TV station. We are now broadcasting an urgent piece of great news."

Recently, Dr. Zhou Kun, a renowned Chinese scientist, newly appointed academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and director of the XXX Research Institute, made significant progress in the field of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

They have made continuous breakthroughs in many challenges, including the stability of plasma, extremely high temperature and pressure, energy gain, material challenges, the scarcity of tritium, and technical costs.

To date, my country has become the first country to master this technology and have the ability to apply it in practice.

In conjunction with Dr. Zhou Kun's previous research on 'room-temperature superconducting materials technology', we can proudly announce:
Humanity has finally filled the last gap in the field of efficient new energy sources.

The energy crisis that has plagued humanity for many years has finally been resolved by the ingenuity of the Chinese people. This is a day that deserves to be remembered in history…

Immediately afterwards, another female announcer also broadcasted good news:

"That concludes this emergency broadcast. Here's a program preview."

Half an hour later, our station's channels 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, and International Channel broadcast an interview with Dr. Zhou Kun.

After silently listening to the above, the hundreds of customers, cashiers, waiters, and chefs in the Hunan restaurant looked at each other in silence for at least a minute.

After a huge cheer came from the mall outside.

The people in the Hunan restaurant finally realized what was happening, and with faces full of joy and pride, they jumped and shouted in celebration.

There was no other way! Thanks to Hu Biao and his group's continued participation in the time travel, and the fact that the mysterious being kept giving out rewards.

Zhou Kun's research team, naturally, tackled a problem of controlled nuclear fusion every month at a speed that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

As a result, almost the entire planet is watching Zhou Kun and his team, wondering when they will be able to crack this great technology that could completely solve the energy crisis.

Various media outlets and online bloggers in China are also continuously popularizing the significance of this technology.

As a result, almost all Chinese people today know what this technology represents, what benefits it can bring to the country and society, and to themselves.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable that the scene described above, in which almost everyone across China was cheering, occurred.

Among the cheering crowd at the Hunan restaurant was, of course, the wizard.

Even the wizard was one of the most fanatical, jumping, shouting, cheering, and suddenly bursting into tears.

The main reason was that the wizard believed he had made a significant contribution to the breakthrough in the controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Even if he didn't get half of that medal, he certainly got a fraction of it.

When he later thought about all the hardships he had experienced during the several time travels he had participated in, he felt a mix of joy and sorrow, his emotions were extremely complex...

After learning that an interview with Zhou Kun would air in half an hour, the fact that the wizard and his girlfriend were about to start a movie 20 minutes later, and that the movie tickets were non-refundable, became insignificant.

The wizard added two more dishes and started a bottle of good wine, and they ate and drank while waiting for the show to begin.

Time flew by as people ate and drank, and soon Zhou Kun's familiar face appeared before at least several billion viewers around the world, who were sitting in front of their televisions and computers.

In this interview, Zhou Kun answered many questions that everyone is concerned about and interested in.

For example, is the good news about the breakthrough in practical controlled nuclear fusion technology true? When will the construction of related facilities begin?

What difficulties did Zhou Kun's team encounter during the research process, and what interesting things happened?

Perhaps because everything had settled down, Zhou Kun and the host both seemed quite relaxed.

But the more this is the case, the more complex the feelings of many people in countries other than China when they see these scenes; they experience a range of emotions, including envy, jealousy, fear, and longing.

There's no other reason than that China's industrial capacity and scale are unmatched on this planet.

Now, with a continuous supply of cheap energy, it's not just a matter of adding wings to a tiger; the costs, efficiency, and scale will reach a point of despair.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology has far more applications than just industry; its benefits in agriculture, environmental protection, military, and space exploration are countless.

It can be said that from this point forward, China will immediately enter a period of super-fast development.

It was almost a foregone conclusion that we would far surpass them in overall strength.

It means that China has both a strong fist and a tough backbone; otherwise, upon hearing such news, the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet would already be preparing to set sail to seize this technology.

However, these people soon learned that more bad news was to come.

In a scheduled half-hour interview, as the time was running out, the host asked the final question:
"Dr. Zhou, this is the last question."

In the coming period, will your main focus be on overseeing the construction of the first controlled nuclear fusion power plant and the power transmission network using room-temperature superconducting materials for wiring?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kun shook his head and replied:

"The technologies for the above two tasks are quite mature, and as long as they are carried out in accordance with the technical requirements, the difficulty will not be too great."

So even if I'm not responsible, the other comrades won't have any problems.

Next, I'd like to try some other interesting research projects.

For example, current mainstream chips are nearing the end of their manufacturing process, leaving little room for further improvement.

Therefore, I believe that chips made from entirely new materials and technologies have reached a point where they must emerge.

Upon hearing this, the host's eyes shone even brighter.

In recent years, when it comes to the most painful area where China has been held back by others in the field of science and technology, the chip industry is undoubtedly the one.

Although we have achieved quite good results through our own efforts.

However, it must be admitted that it will take some time before we catch up with the most advanced chip technology; this is something that the Chinese people find quite regrettable.

But if a chip with a completely new technology could be developed in a short period of time, wouldn't that be another leapfrog development?

Therefore, disregarding the fact that this was already the last question, the host immediately followed up with another question:
"So Dr. Zhou, are you confident in developing chips using entirely new materials and technologies?"

"We already have some directions and ideas, and we should be able to achieve some results within three to five months," Zhou Kun replied with a smile.

If someone else said this, no matter how serious their expression was, or even if they cut their finger like an oppa to express their determination, everyone would probably think they were just bragging.

However, Zhou Kun's casual remark made everyone instinctively believe his statement.

This is entirely a miracle created by his outstanding scientific research achievements over time, or by the hard work of Hu Biao and his colleagues behind the scenes.

This concludes the interview program featuring Zhou Kun.

"Goodness! This is going to be quite a lot of fun." The wizard couldn't help but mutter this after suddenly thinking of something.

Then, naturally, he took his girlfriend and headed towards a luxury hotel that had been booked in advance...

*******
Just as the wizard had complained, many interesting things happened in China in the following days.

Due to space limitations, this article will only cover the events following the interview with Zhou Kun that day, after which business leaders from other countries flocked to the capital.

In addition, the inbound civil aviation flights were also packed, with many top scientists and intelligence elites from various countries among them.

Their sole purpose in coming here was to obtain controlled nuclear fusion technology as quickly as possible, which I won't elaborate on here.

It simply describes situations that have some connection with the time-traveling team.

On the 28th day of the rest period, at 3:30 pm, which is 9:30 am Nordic time, a week later than usual.

The Nobel Committee has finally announced this year's winners.

The moment the list was announced, it immediately attracted far more attention than usual; the key reason being that Zhou Kun won three awards.

They won an award in the field of chemistry for their 'room temperature superconducting materials' technology.

He received an award in physics for his 'controlled nuclear fusion' technology.

The combination of these two technologies can be considered a complete solution to the human energy crisis, earning an award for peace.

If it were only these things, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention; because Zhou Kun's research achievements are simply too important.

Crucially, the Nobel Committee also announced that, considering Dr. Zhou Kun's unfortunate schedule, they would personally travel to Beijing to present the award.

This breaks the record that the Nobel Prize has never been awarded abroad.

However, upon closer examination, this is not a particularly unusual event, and Zhou Kun's achievements are destined to leave a significant mark on human history.

He suffers almost no loss by not accepting the award, but it is definitely a loss for the Nobel Prize, and could even become a huge stain on their reputation...

It was 11 p.m. that night, but the location was changed to Langley, North America, at the headquarters of the Central Q Bureau.

Facing the group of senior subordinates who had just been summoned, he was filled with intense frustration after being berated and treated like a grandson by the big boss for over an hour.

The current head of the China Q Bureau spoke in a very dejected manner:

"Gentlemen! Put aside all your illusions."

China has adopted the highest level of security measures for technologies such as room-temperature superconducting materials and controlled nuclear fusion; no matter what means we use, it is impossible to obtain such secrets in a short period of time.

In this respect, we have completely fallen behind China.

But the big boss said that we must maintain our advantage in chips and not let them develop new chip technologies, otherwise we will have even fewer cards to play against China.

Upon hearing this, the group of Q Bureau officers present looked sad and somewhat disappointed.

Yes! More than 20 years ago, they had no rivals on this planet, and were so confident that they dared to confront even aliens.

Now, facing their opponent in the East, they no longer have much of an advantage.

They even went so far as to emphasize to their own soldiers that in the event of a war with an Eastern adversary, they must rely on an iron will to defeat the enemy.

Damn it! Ever since World War II, these pampered soldiers have always relied on their superior equipment to crush their opponents, okay? They really don't have that steely fighting spirit.

It seems that the great Uncle Sam's family is on the verge of decline.

But soon after, these high-ranking officials of the China Q Bureau stopped caring about whether Uncle Sam's country was about to decline.

Because a cold glint flashed in Old John's eyes, and his tone became vicious: "So the big boss demands that Zhou Kun must die within two months."

If I fail to do so, my fate will be extremely tragic.

But believe me, you won't have a good ending before something unfortunate happens to me; I know all about your messy affairs, I just didn't want to get involved before.

If you don't want to suffer the same misfortune as me, then let's work together to complete the big boss's task.

Faced with such a blatant threat, all the high-ranking officials present turned pale.

Just as old John said, none of them are clean; they've used their power to gain a lot of benefits over the years.

Normally, no one cares because everyone does it this way, but if Old John really gets serious, they'll definitely come to a bad end.

So after the meeting, they all got back to work with full focus.

Believe it or not! Nothing is impossible for a willing heart, and these people seem to have found a solution.

It all started last month when Connor Gris, the head of the island nation branch, submitted a report to headquarters.

They said they had found a way to deal with Zhou Kun and were about to put it into action.

Specifically, Connor Gris first arranged for a large company in an island nation to offer a Chinese model named Annie an exceptionally lucrative endorsement contract.

Annie has a boyfriend named Hu Biao, and the two have a very good relationship.

Hu Biao is the owner and head chef of a restaurant called Deyuelou, and he often has the opportunity to cook for Zhou Kun. If he can capture Annie and threaten her, there is a high chance that he will poison Zhou Kun's food.

The poisons still being investigated in the relevant laboratories of the China Q Bureau.

There is still a high probability that they will evade the inspection by the Zhonghua security personnel and successfully poison Zhou Kun.

Ultimately, likely due to the coincidental emergence of the 'Old Antiques Alliance,' the island nation branch suffered a devastating blow before it could truly begin taking action.

After completing her filming, Annie returned safely to China.

But this doesn't affect them at all; they'll carry out this plan again...
