Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 584 The Korean professor just finished his act? I immediately proposed four solutions! Ion beam traction stunned the entire audience!
Although Xu Yun said that, she didn't really have much confidence in that Boss Hu.

Mr. Hu may indeed have some knowledge of aerospace technology, but he may not be able to contribute to the discussion on the topic of "asteroid defense systems".

Of course, it's fine to forcefully interrupt; all you need to do is talk. There's no need to run a scientifically rigorous forum or present facts and data. However, if what you say is completely irrelevant, you'll still be laughed at by people in the industry.

Just now, the Koreans led by Park Ji-yong really did spout nonsense, making it impossible to understand what they were saying or what their meaning was. However, no one laughed at them.

But that's because they are foreigners. The Chinese side is somewhat considerate of their guests' feelings and won't mock them to their faces, but they are secretly laughing their heads off.

This does not mean that they would be so tolerant if their own people talked nonsense.

But then again, since Professor Zhao Ruijing thinks that this Boss Lu is indeed capable, he shouldn't be too bad.

Let's hear Mr. Lu's insightful opinion.

The host seemed surprised as well: "May I ask who this is...?"

Zhao Ruijing pointed to Hu Jiangshan and said, "This is Mr. Hu from Hong Kong Island... Mr. Hu Jiangshan is very knowledgeable about aerospace technology, and perhaps he can give everyone a different perspective."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the young man was actually from Hong Kong Island.

Most people find it strange that Hong Kong Island seems to have no connection with aerospace, yet people from there are frequent visitors to the finance and real estate sectors.

However, since the other party had Zhao Ruijing's endorsement, the host naturally understood and warmly invited Hu Jiangshan to stand up.

The others looked at each other, then began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Who is this person? He looks so young."

"This outfit doesn't make him look like someone with technical skills; he looks more like someone in business."

"Yes, he's from Hong Kong Island! This kind of attire is normal."

"What you're saying, didn't you hear Professor Zhao Ruijing say it? She understands the technology."

"Professor Zhao Ruijing might just be being polite. There's no problem with him understanding the technology, but the key question is, how much does he understand?"

"That's right. It would be strange to have a layman share his expertise. This is a professional technical exchange meeting."

"Alright, you guys, you act like you know so much. If you're so great, why don't you speak up? You only become clever when someone else speaks."

"Who said I won't speak? I'm going to speak in a bit!"

"I'm not ready yet, but when I am, watch me amaze everyone and debate with all the scholars!"

"Have some decency! Stop bragging!"

The group of people from South Korea were also whispering among themselves.

However, their voices were not quiet either; those nearby could hear them clearly.

However, Koreans are quite cunning; they communicate in pure Korean, so even if others hear them, they won't understand what they're saying. All they can hear is "seumida" coming and going, endlessly.

Park Ji-yong brought quite a few assistants and students, totaling eight people. If you include himself, they could almost form a football team.

One of the students said, "Who is this guy? He looks so arrogant and cocky."

"Hey, at first glance he's not a scientist at all. He's probably just the kid from some rich family in China who got in through connections. He just wants to show off, and he doesn't care whether he speaks well or not."

"Yes, he's probably just here to get some experience. He's actually clueless and doesn't know anything."

"To be honest, this guy is alright looking. He could join the trainees of my great country, South Korea."

"That's right, I think so too. If he debuted in South Korea, he might become popular and could become a world-class star."

Park Ji-yong said calmly, "Alright, you guys should keep a low profile. After all, this is someone else's territory, so don't be too ostentatious."

The others then shut their mouths.

When the boss speaks, everyone has to listen obediently.

Park Ji-yong said, "However, you should pay attention to the level of young Chinese people and how big the gap is between them and you. You need to maintain your leading position with the Chinese and work harder."

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that what Park Ji-yong said made perfect sense, without a single flaw, and was simply a wise saying.

They genuinely believe this; they're not lying.

Koreans are very prone to superstition; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many religious or cult organizations.

Park Ji-yong glanced at Hu Jiangshan standing on the stage and gave him a faint smile.

This person is from Hong Kong Island, which is considered a relatively wealthy area in China. He doesn't seem aggressive at all and poses no threat whatsoever.

Compared to my great nation, this guy is far inferior.

Look at the young people of my great nation, they are all full of energy, competitive, and their eyes shine.

South Korea is now a super-developed country on Earth, only a tiny bit behind the United States, and it can easily wipe out China.

It's just that my Korean people are more benevolent and kind, and don't want to provoke conflict, otherwise, hehehe...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hu Jiangshan took the microphone, gathered his thoughts, and prepared to speak.

Zhang Rui was also quite nervous down there.

Of course, Zhang Rui still had confidence in his boss's abilities.

However, in such a serious and formal setting, surrounded by bigwigs, Zhang Rui couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zhang Rui hopes that the boss can perform well and stand out, so that he can improve both his confidence and his actual status.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiangshan Group can do better and make a name for itself in mainland China, so that it can obtain more resources.

Hu Jiangshan said, "I have heard everyone's sharing just now, and I will just briefly share my thoughts here."

"First of all, I want to declare that I am an outsider compared to everyone else, so my views are rather scattered. If I say anything wrong, please don't be offended and be more tolerant."

When everyone heard "Don't criticize if you don't like it," they couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Yun, in particular, is a young woman who frequently uses the internet, so hearing such language was quite novel to her.

Xu Yun's smile broke Meng Congtao's guard, filling him with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Hu Jiangshan. Xu Yun, however, never smiled when Hu Jiangshan spoke; she remained consistently serious and businesslike.

Xu Yun laughed at Hu Jiangshan's casual remark; it was truly an eye-opener.

But it doesn't matter, Hu Jiangshan is fair-skinned and tender, so he probably doesn't have much substance in his belly.

He quickly revealed his true colors, spouting nonsense and making a fool of himself in public.

Seeing Hu Jiangshan's disgraceful state, Xu Yun naturally wouldn't have any strange thoughts about him anymore; in fact, she'd probably want to spit on him.

Thinking of this, Meng Congtao chuckled. Xu Yun gave him a strange look but said nothing.

Hu Jiangshan continued, "As those guests from South Korea just said, it is actually very difficult to change the trajectory of an asteroid. That's right. Small asteroids don't need any defense; they will be completely consumed in the atmosphere. However, large asteroids require a lot of kinetic energy to collide with them and change their trajectory even slightly. In fact, the efficiency is very low."

Hearing this, Park Ji-yong smiled slightly and whispered to his assistant beside him, "This young Chinese man is quite thoughtful; at least he can distinguish between good and bad, and his attitude is good."

"Yes, Professor Park, you're absolutely right!"

"However, his talent is indeed very poor, and he looks quite old, so he definitely can't be taught."

"Yes, Professor Park, you're absolutely right!"

Park Ji-yong was clearly in a good mood, feeling respected and powerful here.

The fact that no one dared to contradict him when he said something made him feel incredibly happy, and he reached the pinnacle of his life.

However, Park Ji-yong's smile froze on his face.

Hu Jiangshan then said, "Actually, what I want to say is that changing the trajectory of an asteroid is indeed very difficult, but not that difficult. There are quite a few ways for us to achieve our goal."

"The simplest and most direct way is, of course, to use enough kinetic energy to collide with the asteroid and force it to change its trajectory. In fact, the required kinetic energy is related to the location of the impact. It does not necessarily have to be large or strong enough. If the impact is in the right place, a very small amount of kinetic energy can be used to achieve the desired result."

"Of course, each case needs to be analyzed individually, and the best location must be determined by the size and shape of the asteroid."

"Another challenge is that the impact point needs to be very precise. The technical difficulty of remotely and precisely controlling it in space may be even greater than creating a sufficiently powerful man-made impactor."

Upon hearing this, all the bigwigs nodded.

Hu Jiangshan is right on this point. Even when using impact objects, there are techniques involved; it's not simply about crashing into something directly.

If the impact point is precise enough, it is still very possible to achieve the effect of "using four ounces to move a thousand pounds".

After all, China is the birthplace of Tai Chi and has profound expertise in this field.

While South Korea's flag is a variation of the yin-yang symbol, they have no knowledge of the yin-yang symbol itself and can only learn one form.

Park Ji-yong's expression changed, and he sneered, "What are you talking about? All you do is talk! You boring bastard!"

The assistant beside him said viciously, "This guy is really ungrateful. How dare he doubt Professor Park's theory? He should kneel down and apologize to his face!"

Just then, Hu Jiangshan said, "This is only one way. The second way is also very simple, which is to use box bullets as Professor Park just mentioned."

Park Ji-yong's expression softened. This guy is flexible enough not to be inflexible. At least he can accept new theories and knows which methods are more practical.

Hu Jiangshan then changed the subject: "But it's impossible for us to use missiles or rockets to directly attack asteroids with box bombs. This method wouldn't be very effective and would be uncontrollable. We can place box bombs at suitable locations on the asteroids and detonate them remotely. In this way, the effect will be more obvious and controllable."

Park Ji-yong's face darkened again, his heart filled with displeasure.

It's true what they say, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth; all Chinese people are the same!
The crowd sensed the strange atmosphere and turned to look at the South Korean delegation.

Park Ji-yong's expression was indeed very interesting and attracted a lot of attention.

Zhao Ruijing also felt quite good. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, looking very relaxed.

The unpleasantness caused by the Koreans just now vanished in an instant.

It felt like our side was under threat, but our elite troops stepped up and overthrew the enemy.

Although Zhao Ruijing didn't have much contact with Hu Jiangshan, only a few times, each conversation went very smoothly.

The feeling was very peculiar. The two were like close friends, despite their age difference. Although they didn't have many opportunities to meet face-to-face, they understood each other very well, even knew each other's thoughts, and could do things and say things that made each other feel very comfortable.

Hu Jiangshan continued, "In addition, there are other ways to change the trajectory of an asteroid."

Everyone couldn't help but take notice. Box bombs and kinetic energy impacts were conventional methods, while other methods were relatively uncommon and difficult to operate. They wondered which examples Hu Jiangshan would give.

With his knowledge base, how much could he possibly know?
Hu Jiangshan said, "For example, we can use ion beam traction to send several ion beams at the asteroid and use their reaction force to change the asteroid's position and orbit little by little. Although the speed is a bit slow, the effect should be pretty good. Of course, there are some difficulties, such as the power of the ion beam must meet the standard."

Even Zhao Ruijing was surprised by Hu Jiangshan this time.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jiangshan actually knew about ion beams.

Ion beam traction has been a research direction in the scientific community in recent years, and some progress has indeed been made, but it seems that there is still a considerable distance to go before it can be applied.

Most people have never even heard of ion beams, so it's surprising that Hu Jiangshan could mention them so casually.

Xu Yun laughed again: "See? Boss Hu is quite capable, unlike what you said about him being completely empty-headed. He has plenty of stuff to offer."

Meng Congtao was speechless, dumbfounded, and speechless.

Holy crap! This Boss Hu really fooled me.

This guy actually knows about such an obscure technology as ion beams, and he can talk about theories that even Meng Congtao doesn't understand in a very logical way.

Is there any justice left?! Is there no law left?!
This guy must have just looked up some terms and made things up on the spot; he was lucky he didn't give himself away.

Hu Jiangshan added, "In addition, we can also use laser ablation to consume the volume of asteroids. Compared with ion beam traction, the speed is also very slow, possibly even slower, but the difficulty is relatively lower."

"As long as the asteroid's speed is not too fast, and there is enough time to operate, this method is a very safe and secure one."

Hu Jiangshan glanced at the audience and said, "These are the only ways I can think of to deal with the threat of asteroids for now. They may not be very good or comprehensive, so please don't laugh. Just consider them as the nonsense of an amateur. Please excuse my ignorance!"

After speaking, Hu Jiangshan was about to hand the microphone back to the host.

The host quickly asked, "Mr. Hu, what industry are you currently working in? Is it related to aerospace?"
