The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Moscow, late December 1990.

Today, the world is still covered in snow, with heavy snow falling from the sky. People living near the equator would surely be very happy to see such heavy snow.

But for the locals in Moscow, it's not a cause for celebration.

Several days of heavy snow have turned the entire city of Moscow into a pristine white landscape.

Temperatures dropped to below minus 30 degrees Celsius, and in some places even below minus 40 degrees Celsius.

it's too cold!
The idea that splashing water turns it into ice is child's play here.

More than 200 people had already taken refuge in a factory in the suburbs.

They dug a cave here and camouflaged it very well, and with today's heavy snow, it's even less likely to be noticed.

At 1:30 pm today, a transaction will take place at this factory.

Andrei Mogolov arrived at the factory by car.

This person is a bit afraid of death, and every time he goes out, he is surrounded by a large entourage, with eight bodyguards protecting him closely.

Especially given the current weather, the chaotic state of Moscow, and Andrei Mogolov's frequent double-crossing, he probably knows he's being watched.

After all, if you stand by the river often, it is inevitable that your feet will get wet.

After getting off the train, Andrei Mogolov suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But he just looked up at the snowflakes in the sky and assumed it was just the weather, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Most people have a sixth sense to some extent.

However, Andrei Mogolov didn't really believe in the so-called sixth sense, and it wasn't that strong either.

So he went into the factory and had someone begin an inspection.

Today's trade is crucial for him.

Because if he succeeds, he will receive at least $500 million, which would bring his total net worth to over $2 billion.

This is after deducting wealth such as antiques, gold and silver jewelry, and villa assets; it only calculates cash and gold.

The cash amount is at least $800 million, and the gold is worth at least $1.1 billion.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to today's transaction.

Besides him and his eight bodyguards, there were more than ten other staff members, as well as a security team of two hundred people located two hundred meters away.

More than ten minutes later, after Andrei Mogolov's men finished their inspection, another convoy arrived from the other side of the factory.

The arrival of the convoy quickly pleased Andrei Mogolov.

"Andrei, why did you choose today for the trade? It's too cold."

The person who came to complete the deal with Andrei Mogolov was Brumik.

Actually, the most suitable candidate for the trade should be Caltim.

However, Caltim seemed to be a bit dishonest, and he was also somewhat unruly, so Piklauven did not choose him.

"It's alright, it's not very cold."

Andrei Mogolov shrugged and said:

Shall we begin the transaction now?

"Okay, let's start inspecting the goods then."

The goods involved in this transaction were a batch of high-end machine tools and crude oil.

The price of crude oil on the international market has plummeted to $20, a price that Andrei Mogolov feels has resulted in heavy losses.

After all, crude oil prices once reached $42 a barrel in August and September.

Now that it's down to only twenty dollars a barrel, I feel like I've lost out.

But there was nothing that could be done, because there weren't many buyers in August and September.

It seems that there are many large international sellers who are taking advantage of the high prices to sell large quantities of crude oil.

Inspection is a simple matter. High-end machine tools are a bit more complicated, but it's still just a technical issue.

In an effort to buy time, Brumik even allowed the technicians to conduct the inspection slowly.

Based on the current situation, it will take at least a week to complete the examination.

This is also for the convenience of layout.

Two days later, just as Andrei Mogolov and his men were becoming complacent and impatient, Brumik and his men launched their attack.

Since it's a case of the wicked eating the wicked, then methods and strategies are essential.

Andrei Mogolov was shot in the knee immediately and was taken down after two shots.

The other bodyguards also fell to the ground at the same time, but were killed instantly by a single shot.

The two hundred security personnel on the perimeter were actually soldiers.

This is what makes the Moscow nobility so terrifying.

However, these people were blown up into the air by the C4 bomb underground in the very first moment.

"Clean up the scene immediately, we're evacuating right away!"

Picrovin rushed into the factory from outside, while Kaltiem and the others helped take the injured Andrei Mogolov away.

Why not just kill the other person?
They also wanted to interrogate him to see if Andrei Mogolov had any money in the bank or any other so-called safe houses.

It wasn't until Brumick began setting traps to buy time that Picrovin and his team suddenly received the relevant information.

It turns out that Andrei Mogolov was a KGB agent in his youth.

Since he is a secret agent, he must have made many preparations in terms of hiding money and other valuables.

This man is almost sixty years old now, and I guess this is how his life will be.

But in fact, this is how oligarchs emerged in the original timeline's history.

While Andrei Mogolov wasn't an oligarch in the original timeline's history, he was close.

After all, this guy has so much gold, US dollars, and cash that the phrase "filthy rich" doesn't even begin to describe him.

In conclusion, as things stand, there may be other safe houses behind Andrei Mogolov, so it is necessary to investigate thoroughly.

This involves a bet made by the big bosses behind them, although the amount wagered is only one million dollars, which is very small.

But for Wang Jianchao, Zheng Baoyin, and O'Brien, honor or fame is what they value.

An hour later, several cars arrived at the factory.

The police arrived immediately, but the scene had already completely calmed down; the kidnappers had long since fled.

Therefore, they were destined to come up empty-handed.

Even if they searched for the tire tracks left by Brumik and his group in their car, it was no use.

Because of the snowflakes falling from the sky, although they weren't heavy, it was almost impossible to find anyone.

Therefore, the police station had no choice but to report the situation to their superiors to see if the KGB or other agencies could solve the bombing case.

But at that moment, the troops arrived.

Two hundred soldiers died, and the military will definitely not give in easily.

Just as the troops were preparing to cause trouble for Andrei Mogolov, several of his homes were ransacked by Pikravin's men.

They even killed their pet Siberian tiger and took it away.

Are tigers useless?
Yes, it's useful. Tiger penis and the like are all good things. Why keep it?
Not a single penny will be left for the other party.

Two hours later, in a dark basement on the outskirts of Moscow, this became a makeshift interrogation room.

Among the 108 types of punishments, many were suitable for Andrei Mogolov.

"Andrei, if you don't want to suffer, then confess. Otherwise, we'll start electrocuting you right now."

Bound to a chair, Andrei Mogolov, unfazed by Piklauvin's threats, spat in his face.

"Pah! Forget about it. You're all going to die. The people behind me will find you soon and make sure you all die without a burial place."

Piklauven was furious.

What did this prisoner eat before? His breath smells so bad.

Enraged, Piklaus immediately slapped the other man several times.

However, at that moment, a drone patrolling two kilometers away suddenly transmitted a message: a convoy of twenty cars was heading straight in their direction.

Caltim, Brumick, and Piklauven were all completely dumbfounded.

How is this possible?
They've completely wiped out their tails, how could their location have been pinpointed so quickly?
"Is there a mole?"

"impossible!"

Piklauven, his face grim, said:

"Let's go, let's leave here now! We absolutely cannot fight them here!"

How could there be a mole within the Want Want Group?

If there really was a mole, something would have happened long ago. How could it have waited until now?

Therefore, the situation is quite simple: it is highly likely that there is something wrong with Andrei Mogolov.

They arranged for someone to throw away all of Andrei Mogolov's clothes, jewelry, and other valuables.

Then he left with only this person.

Two kilometers is certainly a very fast distance for those tracking from behind.

Almost as soon as Piklauven and his group left, they caught up with them.

However, since they were not very clear about the situation, they immediately stopped to check after catching up.

But soon, they were frightened by the huge explosion and hid.

The time bomb detonated right on schedule.

This would also cover up the traces of Picrovin and his men's departure, while also keeping the pursuers occupied in this area.

"Boss, this is Piqué. I'd like to request satellite positioning support."

While fleeing, Picrovin took out his satellite phone and reported to Fuller Carson, who was in Singapore.

His report was overheard by Wang Duoyu and others.

Because at that moment, Fuller Carson was in a meeting, an internet teleconference.

Listening to the conversation between Fuller Carson and Picrovin on the other end of the phone, Wang Duoyu learned that the person in charge in Moscow was actually being hunted down.

This is something new.

Almost immediately, Wang Duoyu gave orders to Wang Lichuan and Tong Zhigang to find experts to hack into Moscow's network.

Although there are very few official websites in Moscow that are connected to the international internet these days, it doesn't matter. As long as there are some, there's no problem.

Adding some trouble to Moscow is also a way to give Facebook and Amazon something to do.

Another thing to do is to remind Fuller Carson to tell Piklauvin and his team to make good use of the drones.

To be fair, drones are excellent battlefield tools.

To be honest, relying solely on satellites isn't very useful.

The drone was very well concealed in the Moscow night, especially with the snow.

Under such circumstances, it would be incredibly easy for Piklauven and his crew to escape.

However, Piklaus and his team later discovered that the pursuers behind them seemed to be able to keep up with them and knew their direction of travel.

Wang Duoyu immediately understood that Andrei Mogolov must have had a satellite locator installed in his body, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

After all, Piklauven said that they had already removed all of Andrei Mogolov's clothes, jewelry, and other belongings.

So this locator is inside Andrei Mogolov's body.

In that case, we either give up or quickly find out the truth.

But now that Picroven and the others are on the run, Andrei Mogolov certainly won't cooperate.

"Then let's kill him, dismember him piece by piece."

Zheng Baoyin suddenly spoke up.

After all, doing so might still reveal the details of Andrei Mogolov's safe house.

Upon hearing this, Brumik and his group had no choice but to do so.

The call was interrupted, and Fuller-Carson continued his report.

He joined forces with Lee Efra and others to acquire McDonald's.

There aren't many stocks on the secondary market, but it still takes time to acquire them in advance.

Moreover, they also have the task of acquiring Varian Medical Systems, so for now, they have quite a lot of work to do.

Both Varian Medical Systems and McDonald's have been doing this for some time now.

The former, in particular, has invested a great deal of money and time, but they still dare not directly contact those minority shareholders, otherwise, if they fail, they can forget about acquiring them again.

Because failure would mean facing financial giants like the California conglomerates.

It's common knowledge that tech giants are completely unreasonable.

Therefore, one must be extremely cautious when making such acquisitions.

"Okay, I understand. We'll go with your strategy. I only care about the results, but I hope the acquisition is completed before the end of January. Otherwise, I don't have that much time to waste."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Fuller Carson, Lee Efra, and Zheng Baoyin nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood and would definitely complete the mission.

"Well, if that's the case, and there's nothing else, then we'll adjourn the meeting here."

Wang Duoyu left the meeting, but Zheng Baoyin and the others did not leave the chat.

Because the mass exodus is still ongoing in Moscow, they are all eager to know what will happen next.

Half an hour later, Andrei Mogolov died.

The specific locations of the safe houses have been identified: two in London, and one each in Singapore, Morocco, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro in South America.

This guy perfectly embodies the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

It's incredible that Andrei Mogolov has been to so many places.

However, this guy was a KGB veteran, so his disguise skills were excellent, and it was quite normal for him to get away with it.

Take the first generation of ID cards in China as an example. They do not have any built-in chips, so the technology involved is not very advanced.

Given Andrei Mogolov's status in Moscow, obtaining a fake ID would be a piece of cake for him.

If Wang Duoyu remembered correctly, back in the 1990s, even in China, it was very easy to get a fake ID card.

With enough money, you can get any fake document, no matter what kind.

It's better that Andrei Mogolov is dead, at least it saves us from any unforeseen circumstances.

Wang Duoyu and his friends were right; Andrei Mogolov did indeed have a tracking chip inside his body.

I wonder when Moscow acquired this technology, since Moscow's semiconductor technology is not even as advanced as China's.

In the 1950s, Moscow fell far behind the United States in the development of semiconductors due to material issues.

At that time, the United States was about two to four years ahead of Moscow in transistor technology, which was not a significant gap.

However, Moscow's lead in vacuum tubes is something the United States can hardly catch up with.

This led Moscow to focus on developing vacuum tubes, while for transistor technology, they simply copied the technology from the United States.

The advantages of transistors are their small size, suitability for integration, low cost, and long lifespan.

Conversely, although vacuum tubes have advantages such as high power and good linearity, their disadvantages such as large size and the need for preheating have led to their gradual abandonment by the market.

By 1990, Moscow had surprisingly developed its own positioning chips in transistor semiconductor technology, and was even able to provide them to people like Andrei Mogolov.

It's fair to say that the technological advancements in Moscow are truly astonishing.

Of course, it's also possible that Wang Duoyu has had less exposure to the hidden technological advancements in the United States; otherwise, he would probably have been utterly astonished.

In the original timeline's history, the so-called mask incident.

It's said to be something that a biological research institute in the United States developed.

That's really scary.

With Andrei Mogolov's capture, the matter has been settled.

Now, what Wang Jianchao and his group are more concerned about is how much cash this guy actually has.
As time passed, it was January 1991 in the blink of an eye.

From this moment on, a new era is about to begin. In fact, it had already been a new era since 1989, and Zheng Baoyin and the others had all sensed it.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

"Professor Wang, little Wang Junkang's condition has now completely stabilized."

The doctor said with absolute certainty.

After nearly a month of treatment, the cancer cells in Wang Junkang's body were finally completely eradicated.

If you maintain good lifestyle habits and have a physical examination every year before the age of eight, then cancer cells should not recur.

If neuroblastoma, a cancerous disease, is completely eradicated, it will generally not reappear after the age of eight.

However, since Wang Junkang has appeared once, no one can guarantee whether he will appear again.

The only option is to eliminate such accidents as much as possible and use auxiliary methods such as radiotherapy and drug treatment to completely complete the procedure.

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Wang Duoyu nodded; he knew there was nothing he could do about it.

Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases for humans to treat and also the most difficult to avoid.

Maintaining good lifestyle habits, a cheerful mood, and appropriate exercise are key to staying away from diseases.

"Great, Third Brother, we can go home now!"

Wang Yifei, who was standing nearby, immediately cheered and exclaimed.

She has been staying in Beijing recently. Although she can go out and have fun, she also has to come to the hospital from time to time.

For some reason, Wang Yifei really dislikes the smell of hospitals.

Her father said that the unpleasant smell in the hospital was the smell of disinfectant.

Although she didn't know why it smelled like that, she didn't like it and just wanted to stay away from it.

"Ok!"

Wang Junkang nodded. He also wanted to go home and didn't want to stay in the hospital.

Liu Xiaoli's eyes welled up with tears again, because she didn't want to stay in the hospital more than anyone else.

But that's the reality, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life; no one can guarantee that they will never get sick.

"Let's go back." Wang Duoyu held Wang Yifei's little hand in one hand and Wang Junkang's hand in the other, and the family left the hospital.

After returning to No. 87 Zhongguancun South Street and packing their luggage, the family went to the airport to take a flight back to Harbin.

That evening after arriving home, Wang Duoyu held a meeting with Zheng Baoyin and the others in the study of the villa.

Who won your bet?

As soon as the meeting began, Wang Duoyu asked with a smile.

After such a long period of time, all of Andrei Mogolov's assets should have been accounted for.

All of this money will be collected and then transported back to Harbin.

The specific allocation details will be announced later.

The families of Brumick, Caltim, Picroven, and others are all in Ice City, so it's not too late to discuss the specifics of the division after we return there.

"It's confirmed. Andrei Mogorov has a total of $2.25 billion in cash and gold. The most accurate guess was by Alan Costa, who guessed $2.23 billion."

Upon hearing Zheng Baoyin's words, Wang Duoyu smiled.

"Well, in that case, let's leave it at that."

"Make it clear to your subordinates that they must be extremely cautious when operating in Moscow going forward. They can't afford to cause any more trouble, otherwise they might very well fall victim to their schemes in Moscow."

"We cannot act arbitrarily just because the situation in Moscow is currently chaotic."

People are prone to wishful thinking and arrogance.

Especially these middle and lower-level leaders, who get flattered by their subordinates and then forget who they are.

People who are ignorant and arrogant are prone to getting into trouble.

Zheng Baoyin and the others were taken aback and nodded repeatedly to indicate that they understood.

Lee Efra and the others wondered to themselves whether Wang Duoyu's words were a warning or a veiled rebuke.

Wang Duoyu didn't care what they thought. As long as they completed the tasks he assigned, he didn't mind letting his subordinates earn a little more.

Fuller Carson then reported that Varian Medical Systems' shares available on the secondary market had essentially been acquired.

At this point, the acquisition can be fully initiated.

This means that a formal declaration of war has been made against the California consortium. How things will proceed from here depends on how the other side responds.

In any case, for Want Want Group, no matter how much the California consortium struggles, the matter is already a fait accompli and cannot be changed.

"Alright, in that case, you guys make some plans. I don't want the Varian Medical Systems company you take over to be an empty shell!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu was overjoyed and said...

Varian Medical Systems, oh, that's a big company.

He values ​​the company's medical technology team and research team more.

If it can be acquired, then Miaochun Medical Group in China will definitely be able to achieve a qualitative leap.

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, we definitely won't act rashly," Wang Jianchao said with a smile.

“I’m most worried about you. Bao Yin is better than you. You’re the most impulsive and the least patient,” Wang Duoyu said sullenly.

Wang Duoyu was well aware of his nephew's temper.

Ever since he got money, he's become incredibly temperamental.

Aside from being in his presence, Wang Jianchao is already extremely arrogant and domineering outside. If you ask him to tolerate it, it's highly unlikely he will.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu was naturally quite worried about the other party's temper, which might cause unexpected problems in this transaction.

"Ninth Uncle, I've changed a lot. If you don't believe me, ask Bao Yin. He'll know best."

Wang Jianchao awkwardly tried to explain, and Zheng Baoyin chimed in with an explanation. Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and gave up, saying:

"Alright, I'm not trying to scold you, I just want to make it clear to you that Varian Medical Systems is very important to me, understand?"

They all said they understood.

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that Wang Duoyu was indeed very doting and protective of his son.

Varian Medical Systems made the acquisition decision without hesitation, even if it disrupted their plans for the year.

fair enough.

Following Wang Duoyu, this kind and righteous boss, the future is bright!
The meeting continued for a while before concluding.

The next day arrived, and Wang Duoyu went to the mathematics department building to begin his teaching exchange for the day.

He has been staying in Beijing for the past month, and much of his work at Harbin Institute of Technology has been suspended.

He has eight students, and he also holds a math sharing and exchange meeting once a month.

In addition, he also leads several research projects.

Although he has handed over most of his research work to the relevant personnel, it doesn't mean he has completely abandoned research.

He spent the next week busy.

Five days later, he finally arrived at the magnetic plasma engine project office with a paper.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin the meeting."

Sitting in the main seat of the conference room, Wang Duoyu smiled and said.

He chaired today's meeting, mainly to talk about how the ion cyclotron resonance heating unit of the magnetic plasma engine directly couples radio frequency energy to ions.

This is the engine's working fluid heating unit, and its heating effect has a crucial impact on the engine's thrust performance.

"To investigate the working principle of this unit, our project team has established a two-dimensional axisymmetric multifluid model for simulation, and we have used this model to simulate the spiral wave plasma source and the ion cyclotron resonance heating unit with different inputs in the magnetic plasma engine."

Wang Duoyu paused for a moment, then continued:

"You may look through the documents in your hands; I have completed this part of the calculation."

"Calculation results show that the helical wave plasma source continuously undergoes mode transitions during discharge due to changes in the deposition power distribution. During mode transitions, the electron temperature reaches a peak, and the plasma density rises rapidly."

"At the same time, after activating the ion cyclotron resonance heating unit, the electron configuration remains basically unchanged, while the ion temperature increases significantly. This indicates that the ion cyclotron resonance heating unit has a significant heating effect on ions, and increasing the input current amplitude and the number of input current turns can significantly increase the ion temperature, thus achieving the engine's high specific impulse operating mode."

hiss!
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Kong Nanjie, Li Gongnong, Liang Weiqiang, and others in the conference room all gasped in shock.

The information they possess also confirms this point.

The prospects for magnetic plasma engines are very promising.

After all, based on the theoretical model that Wang Duoyu is currently mentioning, it is entirely possible to develop a deep-space thruster that far surpasses the Hall thruster.

After all, everyone knows that the thrust of Hall thrusters is too small, and it has not yet broken through one Newton of thrust.

Although there is no air resistance in deep space, Hall thrusters are sufficient for spacecraft to travel in deep space. If all else fails, there are also fuels such as liquid oxygen, and rockets can be used as propulsion.

However, the magnetic plasma engine is clearly much more powerful than the Hall thruster.

Once this engine achieves maximum power, with thrust comparable to or even exceeding that of a rocket, it will inevitably become mainstream.

But everything is still in its early stages, and there are too many technical problems to be solved.

Moreover, even if a magnetic plasma engine is developed, the fuel problem will remain a major headache.

Surely such a magnetic plasma engine wouldn't use liquid oxygen or other fuels to generate electricity and then power the engine, right?

Therefore, the best match for a magnetic plasma engine is actually controlled nuclear fusion!
Because only with this technology is interstellar travel possible.

This makes long-distance travel between planets possible.

Of course, it's all too far off now, and we don't know if such long-distance interstellar travel can be achieved within two or three hundred years.

At this very moment, China has not even realized its dream of landing on the moon, yet it is thinking about jumping out of the Milky Way?
You're overthinking it.

Over the next few days, Wang Duoyu was busy holding meetings with Kong Nanjie, Li Gongnong, Liang Weiqiang, and others, and produced a series of papers.

He provided only theoretical data, much of which requires experimental verification.

The data that Wang Duoyu presented was based only on model calculations, not actual experimental testing.

That day, Wang Duoyu finally finished his work here. Starting tomorrow, he can finally rest and then push forward his theoretical mathematics research.

During dinner, Wang Yifei heard that her father would be off the next day, and immediately wanted to go out and have fun.

It's winter now, and the Spring Festival this year falls on February 14th. In Harbin, staying at home to spend the winter is the norm.

As a result, Wang Yifei, who has been staying at home for a long time, feels like she's going to get moldy.

So when she heard that her father was on vacation, she naturally wanted to go out and have fun.

"You went out to play again? Didn't you just go out the day before yesterday?"

Liu Xiaoli spoke with a smile. Although her tone wasn't blaming, she wanted to discuss it with the little one, since they had already gone out once and couldn't go out again tomorrow.

However, Wang Yifei wouldn't listen to any of that; she just wanted to go out and have fun.

"Mom, I went out with you the day before yesterday, not with Dad. I haven't gone out with Dad in so long, so long. Why can't I spend some time with Dad?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the little guy's far-fetched reason.

Wang Junhong couldn't help but say:
"Sisi, I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it, but you just don't want to do your homework, right? Hehe, when you and Dad come back from outside tomorrow, you'll definitely see tons and tons of homework."

Her second brother chimed in:
"Yes, if you don't finish your homework, Mom will spank you."

Sisi's eyes widened: "Impossible, Daddy will help me, right, Daddy?"

At this moment, the third brother suddenly spoke up:

"Dad has to go to work. Do you think Dad will help you? How can he help you?"

what?
It seems that's really the case. What should we do?
Seeing her adorable, bewildered expression, everyone burst into laughter.

Realizing she had been tricked by her brothers, Wang Yifei immediately huffed:
"I don't like you anymore, Dad. My eldest, second, and third brothers are bullying me. Please help me beat them up."

"Sisi, you're a girl, you can't be so rude. Don't hit people all the time. Where did you learn that?"

Wang Duoyu said happily.

Harbin is in Northeast China, and people here speak the Northeastern dialect.

However, Wang Duoyu's family rarely speaks Northeastern dialect. They only speak a few words of Northeastern dialect when relatives like Zheng Baoyin come to visit.

Most of the time, it's standard Mandarin.

Occasionally, you might even hear English or Cantonese.

Why is it that Wang Duoyu's family often has guests from all over the world?
For example, Shing-Tung Yau speaks both Cantonese and English.

Other guests included Charles Feifman, Liu Deben, and Lü Gongliang.

Liu Deben is not a native of Harbin; his hometown is in the south, and he usually speaks Mandarin.

Lü Gongliang was from Guangdong and spoke Cantonese.

Wang Duoyu's family also has a house in Guangzhou and used to live there often, so Wang Junhong and the other children have picked up some of the local customs to some extent.

For example, the Hong Kong and Taiwan songs that are very popular recently are often played on the TV at home.

It can be said that the 1980s and 1990s were the peak of Cantonese songs.

It was only after the 1990s that the Taiwanese music scene truly took off, dominating the music scene across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China.

Surrounded by such an environment, it's natural that Wang Junhong and the other children would all be able to speak a few words of other languages.

As a result, the atmosphere of speaking Northeastern dialect in Wang Duoyu's home is not very strong.

Liu Xiaoli has been studying dance in Jiangcheng since she was twelve or thirteen years old, and she is already used to speaking Mandarin.

However, although Wang Yifei doesn't speak Northeastern dialect very often, her personality is quite like that of a typical Northeastern girl—outgoing and carefree.

Wang Yifei has already picked up most of the phrases that are in line with the Northeastern Chinese character, such as "beat someone up" and "what are you doing?"

"Dad, I wasn't being rude! It was my older brothers who went too far! Humph!"

When Wang Yifei looked at her three brothers, her expression was very strange.

Wang Junhong and his two brothers kept quiet, lest they be targeted by their sister.

The parents dote on their younger sister. The three older brothers also spoil her, but most of the time, they can't help but tease her a little.

After all, they are still young.

Just as Wang Duoyu and his family were chatting, the television screen suddenly switched to a report about the cesium atomic reference clock developed by the National Institute of Metrology of China.

"According to reports, the accuracy of this cesium clock is equivalent to an error of one second within 100,000 years. This achievement marks that my country's time and frequency measurement has reached the international advanced level."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junhong couldn't help but say:

"Dad, what is this cesium clock? Is such a high level of accuracy really that impressive?"

The television broadcast text reports, so everyone in the family could see them very clearly.

Liu Xiaoli and the others also cast curious glances, but Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:
"I don't know much about this technology either, but I do know a little about cesium atoms."

In the previous development of the Mach 5 fighter jet, cesium was added to reduce the radar signature of the exhaust.

This technology already existed in the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft a long time ago.

However, at that time, we simply did not have such technology in China.

The Mach 5 fighter jet established under Wang Duoyu's leadership would naturally include radar signal shielding technology in this area.

Materials like cesium are indeed remarkably effective at shielding radar signals.

Of course, exhaust emissions alone are not enough; a great deal of effort also needs to be put into the design of the fighter jet's airframe.

Fifth-generation fighter jets already possess highly mature stealth capabilities.

For example, in the original timeline, the American F-22 and F-35, as well as our J-20 and J-35, all adopted advanced stealth technology to reduce the detection capabilities of radar, infrared, and other detection equipment, thereby improving the survivability and combat effectiveness of the fighter jets.

As a time traveler, Wang Duoyu was naturally very familiar with this technology, so he had already determined this direction when he started the Mach 5 fighter jet project seven or eight years ago.

To be honest, if he really manages to get the Mach 5 fighter jet into the air, we will be absolutely invincible in the field of air combat.

With its exceptional stealth technology, the Mach 5 fighter jet will surely intimidate enemy aircraft and deter them from entering our airspace at will.

"Huh? Isn't a cesium atom a harmful substance?"

After listening to Wang Duoyu's account, Wang Junhong asked in surprise.

This immediately made Liu Xiaoli and the others nervous, after all, the dangers of nuclear radiation were deeply ingrained in people's minds.

If cesium atoms are also radioactive elements, and Wang Duoyu might have come into contact with them, Liu Xiaoli and the others would naturally be afraid. (End of Chapter)
