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

The Pentagon in Washington, D.C., USA.

"Our plan now is to schedule a missile launch, target their reentry capsule, and force them to change their intended landing site."

Inside the office, several generals with Mediterranean-style haircuts were having a heated discussion.

The group's focus was on the Far East, which they considered the greatest threat to the United States.

In the past decade or so, the University of Tokyo has developed at a speed far exceeding everyone's expectations.

Especially after the 2000 Olympics, the speed of Tokyo University's development has astonished the world.

After temporarily containing the EU and Russia, Pentagon generals turned their attention to the East.

They knew that Tokyo University had already made great strides on the road to great rejuvenation, and despite being very powerful, it still claimed to be a developing country, showing remarkable humility.

In recent years, the University of Tokyo has made remarkable achievements in the field of aerospace, becoming the second country on Earth after the United States to land on the moon.

It seems like the University of Tokyo is planning to establish a base on the moon, which is definitely not going to work.

If the moon is occupied by Tokyo University, then what business will the United States have?
Falling behind at one step leads to falling behind at every step.

Given this context, since we cannot contain Tokyo University, we will at least hinder them and keep them confined to Earth.

Otherwise, if Tokyo University establishes a base on the moon, then the United States will really have no way to deal with it.

After all, Americans love to imagine things, and they're afraid that Tokyo might deploy some kind of weapon called the Scepter of God on the moon.

This would directly threaten the safety of the entire planet.

In the eyes of the Americans, that's something that absolutely cannot be allowed to happen!
"Who would be suitable to send? Do we have any suitable agents in mind right now?"

A bald general said with a solemn expression.

The United States doesn't have many top-tier super agents right now; these are the best of the best, one of whom is worth an entire division.

Why don't they have such top-notch agents now?

It's all the fault of the super dollar factory!
The CIA is the best institution for training agents, but the Super Dollar Factory has a lot of talented people who are not only good at fighting but also quite intelligent.

Therefore, the CIA's attempts to dismantle the super-powerful US dollar factory have all failed.

Nineteen years have passed, and we still haven't been able to find the hideout of the super dollar factory, nor do we know who their financial backer is.

Besides the CIA, there are several other agencies in the United States that train agents, but they are all ordinary agents. Top agents are rare and not easy to recruit.

The Rothschild family controls an organization with agent training bases in Africa, South America, and the Middle East. In earlier years, they also dispatched hundreds of top agents to participate in the crackdown on the super-dollar factory.

Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.

Because the super-dollar factory seems to be obsessed with building fake factories, it always likes to 'accidentally' reveal the location of its hideout, and then lure the CIA and other agencies into a raid.

Over the years, more than ten of the super dollar factories' hideouts have been raided, meaning that almost one hideout is discovered every two years.

Perhaps some of them are their real strongholds, but the super-dollar factories must frequently change their strongholds, otherwise they would still exist today.

Even the think tanks behind financial giants like the Rothschild family believe that the super dollar factory takes advantage of being besieged to purge any potential traitors from within its ranks.

Otherwise, over nineteen years, clues would surely have emerged.

"How about asking the Rockefeller and Morgan families? They must have powerful backers, right? If all else fails, we could try to bribe them."

Another general with a Mediterranean hairstyle tentatively suggested.

"What do you mean by 'bribing with benefits'?" General William asked coldly.

"A few years ago, didn't our good friend Neil Randolph make a suggestion? At that time, the CIA offered $500 million. As long as you participated in the project, you could immediately receive a deposit of $250 million, and you could collect the rest of the money immediately after completing the mission."

"Moreover, this money was tax-free, but the five agents who participated all met a tragic end, physically eliminated by the enemy!"

"So we don't have any top-notch agents like that right now. Even if we put out a lot of money, it's all going down the drain!"

Bang!
Just then, the general in the center suddenly slammed his fist on the table and glared:
"Aren't you all taking Dongda University too seriously? Yes, it's true that people outside say Dongda University is a no-go zone for mercenaries. Our agents went to Dongda University, and based on our data over the years, no one has been able to cause trouble there."

"But this time we only need to carry out the sabotage plan, we don't necessarily need to fire. As long as we don't fire, our agents will have a chance!"

"So William, you shouldn't boost the morale of others and diminish your own."

As soon as the general finished speaking, the bald general in front immediately added:

"But Dongda University has the most powerful supercomputer on our planet. If our agents' program can't hack into it, we'll definitely fail!"

"On the other hand, our domestic mathematical strength in the United States is far inferior to that of the University of Tokyo. If we act rashly at this time and the University of Tokyo finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"When the University of Tokyo finds out about our plan, they definitely won't give us another chance. Therefore, I think we need to take this seriously, instead of just blindly rushing in like we are now."

Makes sense!
The general with the Mediterranean hairstyle chimed in, "Yes, they have a mathematician in their country named Professor Wang, who is currently the emperor of the global mathematics community. With him around, we might not be able to win."

The office fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

Over the past two decades, any industry related to mathematics at the University of Tokyo has experienced rapid development.

For example, cryptography!

More than 20 years ago, the telegraph was the dominant medium. Many intelligence agencies used the telegraph to transmit information, and encryption was the most popular method.

Before the 1980s, the United States was the undisputed superpower. They could easily obtain the intelligence information they wanted, while making it very difficult for foreigners to decipher the information of their American intelligence agencies.

However, since Wang Duoyu suddenly appeared, this situation has changed dramatically.

And computers, especially supercomputers, are a nightmare for Americans.

Therefore, with such a powerful figure in charge and the mathematical system behind him, the cost for the United States to take action increases exponentially.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu is still incredibly young, and is said to be working on the front lines, leading several very core scientific research projects.

How can we not take such an opponent seriously?

"Do you have any good ideas?"

The general asked angrily.

As things stand, if they don't make a decision soon, then the National Northeastern University's rocket launch base in Ali on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will arrange for a spacecraft to launch. "Let's do both: secretly train them on one hand, and search the whole country for them on the other, holding a competition under the guise of a nationwide military competition to recruit those super soldiers."

The bald general said:
"We can offer positions and money as rewards, but to ensure fairness, impartiality, and transparency, we must create momentum for the process."

"At the same time, we can also consider large-scale competitions among the general public; who knows, a miracle might actually happen."

After discussing for several hours, the group finally came up with a solution.

At almost the same time, several leaders were also having a meeting in the Wenjin Street compound in Beijing.

In addition to the leaders, several other outstanding experts also attended this seminar.

Several topics were discussed, one of which was the recent heavy snowstorm in the south.

The heavy snowfall caused widespread power outages and train and high-speed rail service disruptions in many parts of southern China.

These natural disasters have caused great concern among leaders. Even though many kind-hearted people in society have donated money and supplies to support the disaster area, post-disaster reconstruction is the top priority.

Meanwhile, how to prevent similar disasters and mitigate the losses they cause has become a current issue.

Wang Duoyu was also called to the meeting. Actually, the leader knew that he happened to be in Beijing, so he called to ask if he wanted to come and participate.

There's not much Wang Duoyu can do about this.

Because high-speed rail relies mainly on the power system, and extremely low temperatures can have a significant impact on the power system, especially with the recent heavy snowfall in the south.

It came on very fiercely.

High-voltage steel frames that transmit large amounts of electricity have extremely thick power cables that have been bent due to extensive icing, which has even caused accidents to occur on the steel frames.

In fact, the simplest way to deal with such a situation is to directly clean the ice that has formed on the power line. However, manual cleaning is not advisable because it is too cold, too costly, and accidents are hard to predict.

You should know that these high-voltage power lines are located deep in the mountains and forests, and it is extremely difficult to get up there.

Furthermore, this heavy snowstorm in the south covered a very large area, with temperatures in many places below zero, including Guangzhou.

You can imagine how cold it must have been.

The extremely cold weather, coupled with the so-called damp cold of the South, is like a magical attack; even with triple pay, not many people might be willing to go.

Of course, most importantly, there wasn't enough time to gather workers to go up the mountain and clear the ice.

After all, large-scale freezing is unpredictable, and no one expected it. By the time it was discovered, it was too late.

The biggest difference between this timeline and the original timeline is that there are many more high-voltage power lines in this timeline than in the original timeline.

The West-to-East Power Transmission Project was implemented much earlier in this timeline, and high-speed rail is already running on many major arterial lines in the country, so the demand for electricity is naturally far greater than in the original timeline.

This is why the South suffered so much damage in this timeline due to this massive blizzard.

Therefore, the very question of how to remove ice from high-voltage power lines is enough to make everyone present frown.

I really can't think of any good solutions.

Just then, Wang Duoyu suddenly spoke up:

"Perhaps we can use various methods to predict and prevent this situation."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Wang Duoyu.

Actually, his method is quite simple. It mainly involves using a technological and systematic approach to remove the ice from multiple angles.

The first step is to use drones to monitor numerous high-voltage power lines and confirm the icing status of the lines.

Then, the direct de-icing method is used, which involves applying a DC voltage to the icing path and short-circuiting it at the end. The ice is melted by the heat generated by the resistance of the conductor itself. This method has advantages such as fast de-icing, energy saving, and the ability to operate multiple lines simultaneously.

The second is to communicate and break the ice.

The circuit can be heated by adjusting the operating parameters, but multiple circuits need to be connected in series, so only one or two circuits can be fused. This may be less efficient, but it is suitable for specific scenarios.

Of course, it's also a good supplement to the first direct ice-melting method.

The third type is mechanical de-icing equipment, such as de-icing robots, vibration de-icing devices, and drone de-icing.

For example, de-icing robots could be developed, allowing them to crawl along guide wires and remove ice through tapping, vibration, or cutting.

Other examples include flame-breathing drones and laser obstacle removal devices.

While these methods for removing ice are all effective, the most important thing is to establish a systematic monitoring system, using weather forecasts and real-time drone observations to ensure the ice formation on high-voltage power lines.

"it is good!"

The leaders immediately applauded and gave Wang Duoyu a thumbs-up, praising his excellent solution.

However, one expert suggested that drones are a good option, as Wujiang Technology, a subsidiary of Harbin Institute of Technology, is a global leader in drones, and there should be no problem with that company developing related drones.

De-icing robots, flame-breathing drones, and laser obstacle removal devices are not things that can be easily developed.

So these are all problems.

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"Actually, this is relatively simple. As I just mentioned, you can directly use direct current to melt the ice. This is the simplest and most convenient method, and the key is that it is energy-saving and removes ice quickly!"

"On the contrary, de-icing robots and the like are relatively fancy and more expensive. However, different methods are helpful for different terrains and landforms, so it is very necessary to develop more de-icing methods."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This technology sounds simple and quick, and it is indeed energy-efficient, so it should be very good.

The group discussed the solution proposed by Wang Duoyu.

After a while, they moved on to the next topic, skipping over that one.

Just as the meeting was about to end, the leader asked if anyone had any other questions. Wang Duoyu suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Boss, in recent years, the global climate has changed significantly, somewhat resembling the Little Ice Age in history."

"We should make more preparations, especially for preventing similar natural disasters, whether it's snowstorms, droughts, earthquakes, floods, etc. We should be better prepared." (End of Chapter)
