And they’ve classified it as top secret?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, we spent another 10 hours performing comprehensive information gathering on the 100 most important targets and found even more evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on Ye Changsi’s face was also quite peculiar, as if he were astounded by the Yankees’ wild speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a few days ago, NACA convened several of their aerospace enterprises under the direction of the Presidential Palace. According to our tracking of the key individuals involved, we’ve discovered they discussed three main things:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was to expand the Moon program, from March 2018 to March 2020, executing 12 consecutive lunar missions, code-named ’Centaur,’ which is even independent from the Artemis program. This means they plan to carry out more than 20 lunar missions before 2020 and to build a Moon Base;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was the Mars program, with the latest launch of a Mars spacecraft no later than 2022;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third was... landing missions on the satellites of the three giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, and not just landings, but to establish long-term bases capable of industrial production, and to continue expanding outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and one more thing, the Pentagon, in conjunction with NACA, has started meticulous research on the Space Force’s space combat methods and discussing the possibility of interstellar defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju, just off the plane, felt his brain crash, and a sense of unreality washed over him as though he were dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interstellar defense, my ass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he wasn’t so nervous about Mars and Titan, so why was America acting like a human extinction event was coming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he even suspected that NACA had truly discovered an alien invasion, and couldn’t believe that a mere misunderstanding could lead to such a severe chain reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his expression, Ye Changsi knew what he was thinking because he had felt the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, the truth may... actually be this way. Although we also know that signs of intelligent civilization were discovered, at least for now it seems there will be no accidents if we don’t touch Zero Plain, and there shouldn’t be any significant threat on Titan. However, they can only speculate from the worst perspective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju still found it hard to digest this result. He pressed on his temples for a long while before recovering, then suddenly frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, are you saying they’re preparing to use Jupiter and Saturn as stepping stones to move beyond the Solar System?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, according to the information we intercepted, their target should be the Kuiper Belt. They probably plan to construct a defense outpost or a refuge there, to hide away in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover... NACA seems to be planning to achieve this before 2050, I saw they used the term ’the first half of the century’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not bad news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju snapped back to reality. If NACA was also embarking on deep space exploration, then domestically, they would inevitably have to follow suit, which means the question of funding would be comfortably resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought more radically. \"Aliens\" could be a great reason to give America motivation, indirectly spurring competition...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye, do you think they’ll leak the news and tell the whole world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Err...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changsi and Xie Liaofu exchanged glances, both somewhat uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju was momentarily taken aback before realizing that after all, it was about a high-efficiency government agency. Trying to predict the thinking of a group of elites with the brainpower of his own team was foolish. He quickly made a decision:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, maintaining the secrecy of ’Departing Fire’ is of utmost importance. From now on, stay as silent as possible and avoid broadcasting any information. We must remain undetected at all costs, even if it means self-destructing to avoid discovery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore... I authorize ’Mountain and Sea’ to keep a close eye on this matter with all its strength, but it must not affect the normal operation of the base. If necessary, develop the next generation of supercomputers. We’re approaching the limits of the base’s chip production capacity, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, we’ve hit a bottleneck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in charge of the computing center quickly took the opportunity to speak out, seizing the chance to present his case:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The automated production line can only support up to 14nm, no matter how much we optimize, we can’t bring about any significant improvements, and we’ve fallen behind the mainstream silicon-based chips. I... I have a suggestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head mustered the courage, gritted his teeth, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could we first produce a batch of various types of chips for reserves, then dismantle the existing automated production lines, and invest funds to truly master this technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss, this type of automated technology that only requires raw materials to maintain extremely high yields and such a small size is truly a treasure. If we master it and apply it in other fields, the benefits will be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this technology develops and is applied in the construction of extraterrestrial planets, we can make machines manufacture themselves, acquiring a large industrial foundation rapidly without any cost, growing like a snowball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll discuss that later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju had heard such ideas before; the Microelectronic Department had proposed something similar before they split from the main group, but the research funds required then were in the hundreds of billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismantling the existing production lines would definitely reduce some of the financial needs, but the remaining would still not be a small amount of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temporarily setting aside the supercomputer issue, Lin Ju turned his attention back to Ye Changsi and Xie Liaofu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this also reminds us that we need to be fully prepared for any potential dangers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Liaofu: \"Besides nuclear weapons, we could have very powerful laser weapons, or even plasma launchers. A few years from now, their power in space will only be stronger than that of nuclear weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were a real interstellar war, we’d have no ability to fight back, and the power of weapons is linked to energy, which depends on theoretical progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changsi thought in more detail, speaking while pondering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most advanced theoretical technologies we currently possess should be weak force and microgravity technologies. The theoretical material for these two technologies is roughly complete, and they represent the forefront of human foundational science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must accelerate the progress of the Space Research Center, especially the space technologies, to quickly master these two technologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With them, metal hydrogen batteries, quantum entanglement synchronous communication, space elevators, and more could rapidly become a reality. We’ve received another 30 billion in funding, let’s invest it all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to push the Moon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Liaofu reminded him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to ensure that all their hydrogen bombs are detonated as soon as possible, otherwise it greatly affects the construction of the research center. The research and manufacturing of related equipment will take about a year. After this year, there should be no more nuclear explosions on the Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best if there are no nuclear explosions near Earth in the future either because they have a big impact on space vessels and micro experiments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju nodded in agreement with these suggestions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Include all these into the original plan. Right now, the most pressing issue is that we still have 10 Level A cards, and we need to think about how to use them. Which departments are most in need of talents, how many A and A+ positions should be added?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1267,"2026-06-05T18:21:12.932Z",1,"novelbin.me","09cec8dbfde1bb97a77f12a622edad8cf844c16ca3bc1e82a3e64942345c7e2d","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-640","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-638",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
