Chapter 225: The gods are fighting! Let’s decide the winner quickly!

This 'unknown object' can reach such an outrageous speed as Mach 12, and it can actually move in an irregular manner!
These two factors alone are enough to make Kimi Andrew sweat profusely in an instant.

'A super weapon that cannot be intercepted or stopped.' This thought immediately came to his mind.

Having served as the head of security affairs for the Eagle Sauce for many years, he is very familiar with the situation of weapons and equipment.

He didn't think there were any anti-aircraft weapons that could intercept an object traveling at a speed of more than Mach 12. In addition, its erratic movement greatly increased the difficulty of interception.

How many interceptor missiles need to be launched to have even the slightest chance of intercepting it?
Unless it is destroyed before it enters the speed-climbing stage after launch, any means will be useless once it enters the terminal penetration stage.

"The total flight distance is about two hundred kilometers?" Kimi Andrew took a look at the flight distance displayed above.

This is the most conservative estimate written above. No one can be sure how far it can fly.

Because its flying speed is too fast, even using a monitoring array composed of several "infrared early warning" satellites, it is impossible to obtain accurate flight data. We can only roughly infer its vague landing point from its traces constantly drifting through the critical space of the atmosphere.

Although the "UFO" in this experiment only flew one or two hundred kilometers, and even maintained a speed of Mach 12 for only a few seconds.

Such a short distance is just the range of a conventional rocket. It shouldn't be worth him being so 'vigilant'.

But who knows? No one can predict how the future will develop.

What should we do if the range of "this UFO" is able to reach that of a medium-range ballistic missile or even an intercontinental ballistic missile?
It doesn't even require a range of tens of thousands of kilometers; even a range of one or two thousand kilometers is enough to be fatal.

"We have to think of a way. This 'thing' is too deadly." Kimi Andrew tapped the table with his fingers.

To him, this was a more imminent threat than any "manned moon landing program."

Once this kind of weapon is declared successfully developed, you won't even have the energy to resist and can only passively take the beating. This is something that is unbearable.

He glanced at his assistant and said slowly: "George, do you have any good ideas?"

George has always been famous throughout the Pentagon for his sharp mind, and he often gives him "unique" suggestions.

In fact, if he did not lack the support of financial backers and did not have good dealings with various capitals, perhaps he should have been sitting in the supervisory position.

Hearing this, Assistant George frowned and shook his head: "Sir, if it comes to the military level, I don't think it's the best choice."

Although the root of the Eagle Sauce's hegemony comes from the ten aircraft carrier battle groups that are always sailing on the sea.

The threat of force is the most direct, but it is not a feasible approach.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Daxia's rise is now unstoppable. If it weren't for the J-20 and these new weapons and equipment, perhaps these threats from the Eagle Sauce would have some effect on them.

But now, others have even developed stealth strategic bombers, amphibious assault ships, and aircraft carriers are ready to be launched.

In the next few years, the military strength will expand rapidly. Do others still fear you? The Eagle Sauce has no chance of winning if it starts a battle within the first island chain.

Even if all ten aircraft carrier battle groups were destroyed, no effective results could be achieved.

Even if they win, the incredible price they pay is far beyond what the Americans can afford. Just look at the British Empire in the distance. After fighting World War II, it has now become an empire that cannot be defeated by the Japanese.

Kimi Andrew was naturally aware of this and sighed deeply: "Military force won't work, but economics won't work either."

If we play the economic card? This is also a "Seven Wounds Fist". Maybe the damage to the Eagle Sauce will be much greater than that of Daxia.

After all, the subprime mortgage crisis is continuing to ferment, and the economic situation in the entire Western world is not good.

As the "world factory" of the current Earth, if Daxia plays this card, the already precarious economy of the United States will face a catastrophe, and the inflation of the entire fundamentals will be unstoppable.

Daxia, however, has a complete industrial chain, and domestic demand alone is enough to drive a new round of economic engine for long-term development.

"And the Parliament won't allow us to do that," George added.

This trick should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

From an economic perspective, this is completely damaging the interests of capital. The returns from their investment in Daxia have not yet been maximized. Who will obey your command?

From the beginning to the end, the United States has been a group whose core interests are capital, and only secondarily a federal state.

In this case, as the chief of global security affairs, Kimi Andrew has only one card to play, which is also the most feasible card at present.

"Notify the countries in the Asia-Pacific region to carry out some 'special actions'," he continued, "and at the same time, advise the higher-ups to prevent in-depth cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region."

We must put pressure on Daxia!

What about the three-country free trade zone and the East Asian economic circle? Then they are making trouble in the entire Asia-Pacific and even Asia.

As long as you have an accurate reason, the rest of the things will be much easier.

When the Asia-Pacific countries received the news one after another and saw the increasingly turbulent situation, they became even more terrified in their hearts.

My goodness, it’s really a fight between gods, and the mortals are suffering.

Why don't you, the Eagle Sauce, go and challenge Daxia alone? Why don't you let us small countries come forward to provoke?
Although these countries often talk about "provocative" behavior towards Daxia, the suzerain state for thousands of years, they are actually very timid in their hearts.

They were afraid of Daxia becoming powerful, because it was a country they had not been able to defeat for thousands of years, and the nightmare of being a vassal state of Daxia was still horrifying to them.

But they are more afraid of Daxia's fall, which means that the entire Asia-Pacific and even Asia will be crushed to death on the spot by this beast.

At that time, even the remnants of the National Army were able to defeat them. If something happened to Daxia now, what would happen?
At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds: "Please, let's decide the winner quickly!"

Don’t you big countries know that it is actually very difficult for us small countries to be fence-sitters?

On the one hand, he had to be careful not to offend Daxia too badly and get beaten up, and on the other hand, he was afraid of failing to complete the task assigned by the Eagle Sauce and thus dying without a complete body in the physical sense.

One is the 'ancestor' of thousands of years, and the other is the 'father' of recent decades. It is really difficult to strike a balance between loyalty and filial piety!

At this moment, on the other side.

The first snow of 09 came earlier than usual.

Just as November began, a sudden heavy snowfall covered the entire Yanjing with a thick "cotton jacket".

Xia Ke Institute, in the Dean's office. "Okay, okay, I got it." Zhang Yuli held the phone, and in the freezing cold, a warm feeling surged on his face: "Old Pei really gave me a surprise."

Zheng Lixing naturally reported the good news of the test launch of the "hypersonic missile" back to the Xia Institute of Science and Technology as soon as possible.

There were no problems during the test launch and the missile performed well.

However, at this moment, facing this news, he was not overly excited, and casually reminded him: "Tell Lao Pei to take care of his health. Although research and development is important, health is the capital of everything."

At present, only the first round of test launches has been successful, and there is still a long way to go before the "technical" hypersonic missile can be truly achieved.

There is no room for haste, and quick success and instant benefits are taboos in research and development.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuli sat back at his desk and poured a cup of tea for the "visitor" in front of him.

"Old Fan, what good news do you want to report to me this time you come back?" There was a hint of smile in his words.

During this period of time, Fan Chaoxian has been conducting research in various places and acting as a technical consultant, and has made great efforts to promote the full popularization of the "OS intelligent system".

Even some software and hardware compatibility issues that could not be resolved were solved by him personally.

Hear this.

Fan Chaoxian took the tea and drank it all, then he immediately dropped a bombshell: "Lao Zhang, the access point of the entire OS application store has exceeded 10 million users."

A full ten million access points, what does this mean?
You should know that all mobile phone users equipped with the 'OS system' will have an 'OS application store' by default when they leave the factory.

Tens of millions of connections mean that in less than a month and a half, more than 10 million smartphones equipped with the 'OS system' have been sold, and there are tens of millions of users.

"It actually broke through 10 million so quickly?" Zhang Yuli was stunned.

This sales speed was more than twice as fast as he had imagined. He originally thought that it would be good to sell five or six million units a month.

"It's not surprising. Currently, there are more than ten mobile phone manufacturers that are equipped with the 'OS system' and are selling them." Fan Chaoxian held up a finger and said, "There are more than ten of them."

This does not include other manufacturers that are planning to launch their products, otherwise the number would have to double.

After Xiaomi took the lead in launching the 'OS' smartphone at a price of 1999, which triggered a sales frenzy, other giants chose to join in one after another. After all, the smartphone cake is too delicious and too tempting.

Even Internet companies such as Tencent and NetEase, which mainly provide network services, could not resist the temptation and made bets.

Either invest or create a mobile phone brand of your own.

I heard that even 360, the computer manager, has come up with a brand called '360 Security Phone'.

This is a terrifying existence with sales of 10 million per month!
Even though the current shipment volume of Daxia's mobile phones is more than 90 million units, although this number seems to be huge, % of them are still dominated by feature phones, most of which are even minimalist PHS phones priced at one or two hundred yuan.

The remaining tiny bit of market share is the market penetration rate of "smartphones".

With such impressive sales performance in less than one and a half months, it almost proves that the 'OS smartphone' can confidently say Wang Feng's famous words: it occupies half of the smartphone market in the world!
"According to this trend, can we sell more than 50 million units next year?" Zhang Yuli's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

He didn't expect to sell more than 10 million units every month. How many people are online in Daxia now? How could there be such a huge consumption potential?

But even if it is 50 million units, it is still an extremely terrifying number.

"I think it could be more than 80 million or even more than 100 million..." Fan Chaoxian was even bolder.

"Oh? There are so many?" Zhang Yuli's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sales of 100 million?
Even if calculated at a low price of 2000 per unit, that would still be a revenue of billion. Moreover, many high-end versions cost to per unit. How many millions of people in the upstream and downstream industries could benefit from this?
The subsequent industrial chains are countless.

"A sales volume of 100 million, that might be a little difficult, right?" Zhang Yuli denied subconsciously, "We don't have that much consumption potential."

Even though Daxia is entering a stage of rapid development, there are still only a few people who can easily spend two or three thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone.

There is still a long way to go on the road of economic development. It will probably take several years before all the people in Daxia can afford a smartphone that costs several thousand yuan.

However, after hearing this.

Fan Chaoxian smiled and said, "Daxia will definitely not be able to sell that many."

"But what about Asia as a whole? Or even the world as a whole?"

Instead of competing in Daxia, these manufacturers should first seize market share abroad.

If they don't seize these markets themselves, are they going to wait for Samsung, Apple and other companies to take over and then eat their leftovers?

It may even be a huge problem for you to enter other countries' local industries when they are well developed.

same moment.

As usual, Daxia also sent the good news that the hypersonic missile's 'initial test launch' was successful to Lu Ze.

"Great progress!" Lu Ze touched his chin.

Land-based hypersonic weapons have been successful, so how far will ship-based hypersonic weapons be? How far is the Type 055 destroyer?
After owning the 055 destroyer, will the Eagle Sauce's aircraft carrier still dare to be so rampant in the surrounding waters?

After a short period of excitement.

"Lucy, how about we go to the San Francisco Air and Space Museum?" Lu Ze looked at Lucy who was sitting next to the sofa, and went up to her and pinched her delicate face.

What he wanted to copy was the 'Saturn V'. If he could get this thing, it would be a good choice to contribute to Daxia's aerospace industry.

However, the complete version of this thing is only available at the Houston Space Center, which is 3,000 kilometers away from Livermore, and the two-day weekend rest time is not enough.

However, San Francisco also has an Air and Space Museum.

Although there is no complete 'Saturn V' launch vehicle there, there are the two most important rocket boosters 'F5' and 'J-1' on public display.

In fact, it has no isolation or protection at all, and is placed directly in the open air in the exhibition hall for people to see, and even buy a ticket for a few dozen dollars to get up close and personal with it.

In other words, Lu Ze could completely touch it and easily copy it to become the first contributor to the "manned moon landing".

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket!!
