Rebirth in the Dragon Kingdom: The Strongest Blade

During his second week of vacation, Lin Zhe voluntarily came to the General Assembly Department.

When Lieutenant General Li Jianguo, Minister of the General Armaments Department, saw him, he was both surprised and delighted: "Lin Zhe? Weren't you on vacation?"

"I was just idling at home anyway, so I thought I'd check on the progress of my designs," Lin Zhe said.

Li Jianguo immediately took him to the design center. A huge screen displayed 3D models of various weapons—new fighter jets, missile systems, ship designs…

"These are all detailed designs based on your initial ideas," Li Jianguo explained. "However, our experts are still working on some technical challenges. For example, there is currently no feasible solution for the problem of switching between power sources inside and outside the atmosphere for this space fighter."

Lin Zhe walked to the control panel and pulled up the design drawings of the aerospace fighter.

"Actually, I already have a mature solution to this problem," he said, and began to quickly type on the keyboard.

On the screen, the original design was modified, with new structures, new power systems, new material parameters... one by one, being added. Lin Zhe's fingers flew across the keyboard, so fast that the engineers next to him were stunned.

Twenty minutes later, a complete design scheme was displayed on the screen.

"This...this is..." Chief Engineer Academician Wang adjusted his reading glasses, leaned closer to the screen, and said, "A dual-mode engine? A deformable wing? Nanocomposite materials? These technologies...we're still in the laboratory stage!"

"No, they're already usable," Lin Zhe said calmly. "I've been researching these things all these years in military academy and the army. We didn't bring them out before because the timing wasn't right."

He wasn't telling the truth. These technologies were actually already mature achievements from his previous life. In that world, space fighters, global missile defense systems, electromagnetic railguns... were all things already in service with the armed forces.

However, in this world, they are still science fiction concepts.

"Minister Li," Lin Zhe turned to Li Jianguo, "I think we can speed things up."

In the days that followed, Lin Zhe practically lived at the General Armament Department.

He no longer held back, revealing one by one the mature military technologies from his past life's memories: design blueprints for a new stealth bomber, schematics of an electromagnetic railgun, technical parameters of quantum radar, guidance systems for hypersonic missiles…

Each item presented caused a sensation throughout the entire design center.

"Lieutenant General Lin, how did you solve the high-temperature problem with this plasma stealth coating?"

"Using this material, carbon nanotube-reinforced ceramic matrix composites can withstand temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius."

"How can this quantum communication system guarantee its stability in complex electromagnetic environments?"

"Using this algorithm, which I call 'quantum error correction coding,' it can resist 99% of interference."

Lin Zhe answered fluently, as if he had been studying these technologies for decades.

The news quickly reached the Central Military Commission.

When General Liu Zhenguo came to the General Armaments Department in person and saw the design drawings, the old general's hands were trembling.

"Lin Zhe, did you research all of this by yourself?"

"Yes, sir." Lin Zhe replied without changing his expression. "I've been interested in military technology since high school. During my time at military academy, I taught myself materials science, aerodynamics, and quantum physics. In all my years in the military, I've studied these subjects whenever I have a spare moment."

"But this...this is too advanced!" Liu Zhenguo pointed to the design drawings of the space fighter. "According to this design, it can reach any place in the world within two hours, carry nuclear warheads, and perform space missions...this is practically a strategic-level weapon!"

"Yes," Lin Zhe nodded. "Moreover, it can build a prototype within six months."

"Six months?!" Everyone in the design center gasped.

"As long as we have enough resources and manpower," Lin Zhe said, "these designs are mature and don't need further exploration; we can just manufacture them directly according to the drawings."

Liu Zhenguo remained silent for a long time, then slammed his hand on the table: "Mobilize personnel! Mobilize personnel nationwide! Gather all experts in relevant fields in Beijing! Establish a special project team, and I will personally lead it!"

The day after the order was issued, thousands of experts from major military research institutes, military industrial enterprises, and universities across the country arrived in Beijing.

The General Assembly Department has specially set aside three large workshops as a research and development center, which is brightly lit 24 hours a day.

Lin Zhe became the chief technical consultant. He shuttled between various project teams every day, answering questions, guiding designs, and revising plans.

The most impressive project is the aircraft carrier project.

In this world, only the United States possesses three aircraft carriers, which allow it to dominate the world. Although China also has an aircraft carrier program, it is still in its early stages.

Lin Zhe produced a complete set of design blueprints—a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, an electromagnetic catapult system, carrier-based stealth fighters, a laser defense system…

"This...this is..." Vice Admiral Wang Haifeng, the Navy Commander, was so excited when he saw the design drawings that he could barely speak. "This is even more advanced than the latest Ford-class destroyers from the United States!"

"Yes," Lin Zhe said, pointing to the blueprints. "It adopts an integrated island design to reduce radar cross-section. The propulsion system is a fourth-generation nuclear reactor, which can operate continuously for twenty years without refueling. The carrier-based aircraft are vertical takeoff and landing stealth fighters, which can launch and recover a large number of aircraft in a short period of time."

"What about the construction period?"

"With enough manpower and resources, it can be launched in a year and a half and become combat-ready in two years."

Wang Haifeng immediately reported to the Central Military Commission. Three days later, at a top-secret naval base on the southeast coast of China, the aircraft carrier construction project officially commenced. More than thirty large military industrial enterprises and hundreds of supporting factories across the country were all involved in this epic project.

On the day before the end of the month-long holiday, the General Armament Department held a project progress report meeting.

The conference room was packed with people—leaders of the Central Military Commission, commanders of various services and branches of the armed forces, and top scientists.

Lin Zhe stood in front of the large screen, giving a report:

"The prototype of the new stealth fighter jet 'Mighty Dragon-20' has completed final assembly and will make its maiden flight next month. Its performance surpasses that of the United States' most advanced F-35 in all aspects, with a 50% improvement in stealth capabilities and a 40% increase in range."

"The hypersonic missile 'Dragon-41 variant' has passed ground tests and has reached a maximum speed of Mach 20, which can penetrate any existing anti-missile system."

"The 'Sky Sword-1' space fighter has completed its airframe manufacturing and is currently having its power system installed. Atmospheric testing is expected in three months, followed by space testing in six months."

"The aircraft carrier 'Longxing' has started construction on its hull sections and will be launched in eighteen months."

Each time an item was announced, a gasp of amazement rippled through the conference room.

After the report concluded, General Liu Zhenguo stood up and surveyed the room:

"Comrades, every word I say here today is a top state secret. Once these projects are completed, they will completely change the world's military landscape."

He looked at Lin Zhe: "Comrade Lin Zhe, your contributions to the country are beyond words. On behalf of the Central Military Commission of China and the people of the whole country, I thank you!"

There was thunderous applause.

Lin Zhe stood at attention and saluted.

He knew that a new era was about to begin.

All of this was to protect—to protect his family, his comrades, and the country he loved so deeply.

The vacation is over, but the real battle has just begun.

This time, he is going to fight a technological war, a war that will determine the fate of the nation.

And the Dragon Kingdom will surely be victorious.
