94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

"Electronic communication relies on electrical signals of different frequencies."

"The internationally popular communication frequency is currently the L-band, specifically 1-2 GHz."

"Even Motorola's Iridium satellite system is no exception."

"No matter how fast the communication signals between satellites in space are, they will still be within this range when they reach the ground."

"So do you know what this means?"

Lin Yu asked a question softly, probing Yang Jia's understanding of communication technology.

Yang Jia had no exposure to the specific theories; she only knew that Japan was currently using 2G networks, as were Europe and the United States.

Lin Yu looked drowsy, and now was not the time to hesitate, so she answered directly:

Does this mean there's no generational gap in communication technology between countries?

"We can all do satellite communications?"

Hmm... Lin Yu thought to himself that Yang Jia was completely unaware of this.

No, I mean...

"The signal from satellite communication is not much different from that of ordinary communication signals."

"With only a few dozen satellites in the sky, the number of signals they can transmit is ultimately limited..."

"And there are countless signal base stations and terminals on the ground, all emitting signals at the same frequency."

"If we continue down this path, how can satellite communications possibly succeed?"

Lin Yu's words made sense, and Yang Jia, who didn't know much about this professional knowledge, was easily persuaded by Lin Yu.

He asked impatiently:

"So... what are you planning to do?"

Seeing the fish bite the hook, Lin Yu lowered his head, pretending to be sleepy, and spoke haltingly.

"That's terahertz, of course..."

Seeing that Lin Yu couldn't even speak clearly, Yang Jia didn't believe that Lin Yu had the brainpower to think and lie, so he simply believed him.

Ignoring all decorum, she leaned close to Lin Yu's ear and asked him questions, hoping to get more information from his drunken state where he would answer any question.

"Terahertz, what is terahertz?"

"What is this made of?"

Lin Yu considered the approximate research progress of this era, and also took into account Yang Jia's level of knowledge.

A simple and easy-to-understand answer was chosen.

"Terahertz, which is the hertz frequency in terahertz units."

"One Terran is one trillion."

"Electromagnetic waves in this frequency band are in the transition zone between macroscopic classical theory and microscopic quantum theory."

"It's also the transition region from electrons to photons. Signals at this frequency will absolutely not be interfered with."

"Only...as long as..."

Yang Jia was extremely anxious and shook Lin Yu's body to try and bring him to his senses.

"What do you want? Tell me quickly!"

Lin Yu, who wasn't dizzy before, felt a bit nauseous after being shaken like that.

Lin Yu then pretended to vomit, which startled Yang Jia, who wanted to let go of Lin Yu but was unwilling to do so.

Yang Jia's pretty face paled, but she dared not say or do anything.

Lin Yu found it amusing and felt a surge of relief.

"As long as electrons are projected onto the optical lens through a semiconductor..."

"It can emit light in the terahertz frequency band."

"Hehe... With terahertz technology, neither the United States nor the European Union can interfere with our signals anymore."

"Japan is even worse."

After saying that, Lin Yu completely ignored Yang Jia and fell asleep while leaning back in his chair.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin?"

Yang Jia first patted Lin Yu's face, and when Lin Yu did not react, she quickly let go of Lin Yu's arms.

She stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Upon reaching the restroom, two female subordinates who had accompanied him were assigned to stand guard outside the door. He quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie.

"Sir! I've extracted the intelligence!"

"China is working on a technology called terahertz."

"We'll use this to surpass America's satellite communications in one fell swoop!"

"They even found out the production method."

Yang Jia reported the information that Lin Yu had previously revealed to his superiors one by one.

Finally, the topic of haiku was mentioned.

After a while, a response came from the other end of the walkie-talkie:

"Are you familiar with Lin Yu's usual habits? Why did he suddenly start talking about haiku today? Think carefully, did you give yourself away in any way?"

Yang Jia was stunned. She didn't expect her boss to discard her so quickly after she had served her purpose. She had only just met Lin Yu!

What does Lin Yu's erratic behavior have to do with her?

How could a normal person's first reaction upon seeing their roommate's girlfriend be that she's a spy?

So he quickly said:

"How could that be? I only met him for the first time, and I got involved with him through his roommate Xu Haoxiang."

"I see myself as a patriotic young woman who cares about the country's space program."

"Don't worry, there's nowhere that could expose my spy identity!"

"Although I don't have much contact with Lin Yu usually, I've done the basic investigation."

"As someone who grew up in an orphanage, the only source of information he could access was books."

"My only doubt today is that I didn't eat the two dishes at Yuanxun's banquet."

"But that can also be explained by the fact that I don't eat chicken or cured meat."

"Besides, Lin Yu is an orphan; he wouldn't possibly know what dishes were served at the Yuanxun Banquet. How could he possibly deduce my identity from that?"

Yang Jia's account was logically connected, and after a brief silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, they accepted the answer:

"Indeed, it's already incredibly fortunate that an orphan with little knowledge could achieve anything in science and technology. How could he possibly suspect you of being a spy on our first meeting?"

"You did a great job this time. The reward will be delivered directly to your villa's garage later."

"Go back now, don't let them suspect anything."

Having finally managed to fool his superior, Yang Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't actually as certain as she had told her boss.

In her mind, Lin Yu's eyes were bewitching; every time she looked into his eyes, she felt as if his very soul was being seen through.

Fortunately, he eventually dispelled his doubts with haiku, but there was no need to tell his boss about such a thing.

Yang Jia took out a mirror she carried with her, touched up her lipstick, and smiled smugly with her head held high.

Lin Yu, Lin Yu, no matter how cunning you are.

In the end, they just shot themselves in the foot.

It may seem that you insulted our Great Japanese Empire with haiku. But actually, it was I who gained your trust through haiku!

Thinking of the rewards that would be sent later, and Lin Yu, the treasure trove who had already gained her initial trust, Yang Jia's face flushed even more.

Her spy plan was a huge success!

As she left the restroom, two subordinates reported to her that there was nothing unusual, and also reported that the call had lasted twenty-five minutes.

Yang Jia nodded, waddled back to the dining table with a cat-like gait, and swayed back to the table.

At the dining table, Lin Yu had already woken up and, along with Xu Haoxiang, each ordered a bowl of noodles, which they then enjoyed heartily.

"Miss Yang is back? Why did you take so long in the bathroom?"

Yang Jia smoothed her cheongsam down from her waist, revealing her perfect hip line, and then covered her mouth with a soft laugh after sitting down:

"Mr. Lin, please don't ask about your daughter's private matters each month."

"The banquet is almost over, and it's close to 11 o'clock now."

"I'll send someone to take Mr. Lin home."

Lin Yu scoffed inwardly. "Once I'm in your car, whether I'll survive is another matter entirely."

In his previous life, during the era of big information, he acquired a great deal of knowledge that was not useful at the time.

For example, right now, he knows he can't even take a taxi outside the door.

Lin Yu shook his head: "Why bother Miss Lin? Our team has a long-term cooperation with Jinghai Hotel. Everyone knows that Jinghai Hotel has almost become a temporary residence for our researchers."

"I just borrowed Haoxiang's mobile phone to call Jinghai. They will send someone to pick me up in a bit."

Lin Yu thought to himself, now that the bait has been cast, the next time Yang Jia takes the bait will be the time for him to seize the supercomputer.

While Japan's fifth-generation supercomputer failed, the problem is that it still has its fourth generation, and it also has its American "father" in the industry.

Going through this channel will definitely get you better stuff than he could in Beijing.
