The current situation has made the elites anxious.
In cutting-edge scientific and technological directions such as annihilation physics and superconducting technology, American has seriously fallen behind others, which has also led to the backwardness in many important fields.
For example, the most important thing is military.
Nowadays, in the so-called 'military rankings' in the world, American is often ranked first, but in fact, many people know that they are far behind.
This is mainly because of the 'anti-gravity aircraft', also known as flying saucers.
The high performance and high bomb load of the air-to-ship series of aircraft caused the aircraft carriers they were proud of to lose their deterrent effect and instead became a moving target on the sea.
Some intelligence channels show that the Flower Planter has three more airship flying saucers officially put into service. The codename is still "Kongship-2", but the technical level and performance will definitely improve.
There are now six "space flying saucer formations", and one alone can pose a direct threat to the aircraft carrier formation, let alone "six".
That is simply devastating power.
The three newly commissioned airship flying saucers have stealth functions and cannot be detected by radar. They sail at an altitude of more than 40,000 meters, carry more than 200 bombs, and have complete electronic warfare systems. They can be said to be flying in the air.
war machine.
Such weapons are simply impossible to counter.
Now their advantage lies in their stockpile of nuclear bombs, but nuclear bombs are weapons with a deterrent effect, and it is impossible to use them conventionally. Moreover, the other party also has the F-ray opportunity to destroy intercontinental missiles at high altitude and detonate nuclear bombs. As a result, nuclear bombs and intercontinental missiles seem to be incompatible.
It has become less of a deterrent.
Many elites feel at a loss. They don't like this feeling, but they have no way to make changes.
In this case, we can only catch up in the direction of technology.
Annihilation force field technology and superconducting technology are not enough, so developing a technology that 'exists in the future' becomes a 'life-saving straw'.
Antimatter technology research and development was focused on.
…
Groom Lake Project Experimental Base.
Empoli Cubo and Colette James were sitting in the office together, watching the latest news and discussing 'antimatter manufacturing technology'.
The research and development of ‘antimatter manufacturing technology’ is also inseparable from strong annihilation force fields.
The 'replicate explosion experiment' is to create a strong annihilation force field. If the first step of research and development is started, strong annihilation force field technology will definitely be needed.
Cooper looked at the relevant information and asked James, "Do you think the research on antimatter is good or bad for us?"
"Don't interfere."
James pursed his lips forcefully, "I only use these four words to remind you. If you are asked to host the research, you must not agree."
"Why?"
Empoli-Cubo was puzzled.
If the top management really decides to start research on antimatter manufacturing technology, it will definitely be a very huge project. As the person in charge of the Groom Lake Project, it seems logical that he will be responsible for the initial antimatter manufacturing related work, because the initial task must be to create a strong annihilation force field.
equipment.
James said, "You should know that the Department of Energy has been investing in this area for the past few decades."
Cooper nodded.
James continued, "But only Fermilab has announced a discovery. It's hard to say whether it's true or not. Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Those have no basis at all, they are just inferences based on the discovery of a phenomenon."
"They think that antihydrogen atoms were created, but it is possible that they were not created and they just detected an abnormal energy burst."
"Even so, scientific research support has continued."
"But the situation is different now."
Cooper asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
"If you studied antimatter 30 years ago, received $1 billion in funding, and have only published a few papers with uncertain results... then it would be nothing, and that's the case with the Fermilab team.
"
Cooper nodded.
James continued, "Now that you are studying antimatter, as long as there is no discovery in a few experiments, you will be fired. At the same time, they also think that your incompetence caused the failure."
"...Isn't this the study of annihilation force fields?"
"Yes."
James nodded vigorously, "Now is not the past. Those politicians have begun to use technological advancement as a political bargaining chip. If technology cannot be improved and new discoveries cannot be made, then it will be defined as failure."
"In the past, I was just free to do research and development, but now success or failure is determined by the results!"
"The environment is completely different."
He said with emotion, "Maybe it's because we are no longer number one in the world..."
Cooper also figured it out.
When science and technology are in a leading position in the world, neither the government nor the people care whether science and technology will improve. They are already number one anyway, and it is very difficult to make further progress in the high-end field.
Many scientific and technological investment ideas are to "cast a wide net" and provide continuous support to multiple fields, even if there are no results.
It's different now.
They lag behind others in the field of cutting-edge science and technology. Politicians and the public are beginning to care about science and technology issues, and a project with high financial investment hopes to be able to produce results.
If there is no output, it's the project leader's problem.
Obviously.
Research on antimatter manufacturing technology is an area that is likely to be unproductive.
If you serve as the person in charge of relevant research, you are likely to end up with failure and be despised by the public as a "waste of national funds."
The gain outweighs the loss!
…
Annihilation force field experimental group.
The results of the third field force manufacturing experiment were still great. They discovered 17 new types of upgrading elements, and also confirmed the discovery of 'second-order red copper'.
The discovery of a large number of upgraded elements will definitely lead to great progress in materials technology.
Now, whether it is compounds, alloys, or even polymer materials, they can all be made using upgraded elements, which will greatly increase the performance of the materials.
Materials science is the pillar of scientific and technological development.
When materials technology makes progress, other fields will soon make great progress, and similar progress has already begun to be reflected.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For example, first-order silver.
The first-order silver produced in large quantities by the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team has already been handed over to important domestic scientific research institutions, and the R&D departments of some large companies have also applied for materials.
There are already several scientific research institutions that have used first-order silver to conduct technological research and development and achieved results, and the products that have attracted public attention are products that are close to life.
For example, Oriental Technology Company announced that it has produced a "heat-free screen." "The conductor material used in the outer layer of microspheres inside this screen is first-order silver."
"The ultra-low resistivity of first-order silver greatly increases the performance of the screen without causing heating, and at the same time, the power consumption is greatly reduced."
"After the first-order silver is mass-produced, the new screens will be delivered to other manufacturers for use in the manufacturing of new electronic devices..."
A well-known lithium battery company has developed a super lithium battery. "This brand-new lithium battery uses magnetic materials and first-order silver conductors. Its capacity has been greatly improved, and its power transmission power has also become higher."
"
"Brand new batteries will make it easier to produce mobile phones."
"We have reached cooperation with several mobile phone manufacturers. Using this super-performance battery, it can support the use of mobile phones for more than a week when fully charged."
"..."
When a mobile phone is used for a week on a single charge, most people think of it as 'standby', but lithium battery companies and several mobile phone companies define it as 'regular use'.
"If it's on standby, it can even last more than a month."
This is not a dream, but a reality.
In the face of such high-end electronic products, other products lose their competitiveness. The only problem is that the cost is relatively high, and the selling price will naturally become much higher.
