Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 594 Catherine gives away a complete set of aerospace secrets for free; electromagnetic catapult launcher blueprints acquired.

Just as Hu Jiangshan was about to get up and leave, Catherine called him back.

"Mr. Hu, you should wait a bit. My dad just sent me a message saying he'll send over some documents soon, and you should receive them soon."

Lu Yuan nodded. It would be great if he could get the information now so he could get to work immediately and avoid having to wait a few days.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he got up, walked around the room, and then turned to look out the window.

Most of the windows in this room are floor-to-ceiling windows, offering stunning views of Tenglong Bay and the open sea.

Lu Yuan wasn't admiring the scenery; he was observing the discordant elements.

Catherine asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Hu? Is something the problem?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "I haven't found anything wrong yet, but I feel a little uneasy, like there's something wrong somewhere."

Catherine was an extremely intelligent girl and immediately realized what Hu Jiangshan was talking about.

Catherine also got up and walked around: "What could be wrong with this room? I've already had it checked, there are no listening devices, and the cameras have been checked too, but nothing was found."

Hu Jiangshan nodded; he certainly believed Catherine's words.

As a super-rich family in the Blue Star region, the Guise family represents the old money power of the new era, so their security should be top-notch.

Logically, there shouldn't be any problems. If Gus's security personnel were willing, probably not even a mosquito could fly in.

Hu Jiangshan said, "Okay, maybe I was just overthinking it. It's nothing."

Just then, Catherine glanced at her laptop and said, "I received an email with some aerospace data. I'll download it and see if it can help you."

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Thank you, Catherine, you're such a kind person."

"Huh? Is this a common way you Chinese people compliment someone?"

"Well... not really."

"Let's start over."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiangshan quickly said, "Catherine, you are such a beautiful and kind girl."

"and then?"

"I really like you so much."

Catherine then smiled, and to be fair, it was quite a charming smile.

"Mr. Hu, what you said is more accurate."

As mentioned earlier, the internet speed on Tenglong Island is quite fast. Gigabit fiber optic internet is not even widespread in mainland China yet, let alone Hong Kong Island, but on Tenglong Island, it already boasts multi-gigabit fiber optic speeds.

The email contained a cloud drive link, and Catherine quickly downloaded the contents.

"Alright, Mr. Hu, that's all. The other part might not arrive until tomorrow or the day after. I'll let you know when that happens."

Hu Jiangshan thanked him and quickly sat down at the computer to check the contents of the attachment.

Good heavens, this is indeed genuine aerospace design data.

The strange thing is, it's the complete set, the real complete set!
To be honest, Hu Jiangshan was quite shocked. He hadn't even finished reading the contents yet, but he felt that it was too rash and careless for Catherine to show these things to him.

You should know that this information would be considered top secret in any country!

There are probably only three countries in the world that possess complete aerospace research and design capabilities: China, the United States, and Russia.

Hu Jiangshan turned to look at Catherine and couldn't help but ask, "Catherine, is this really something I can watch?"

Catherine smiled slightly; she was understanding and knew why Hu Jiangshan had brought it up for no apparent reason.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu. I'm giving you this information because I trust you a lot. I also believe you won't leak it. Besides, my dad doesn't object to me doing this. Do you think he's crazy?"

Hu Jiangshan paused, suddenly realizing that things were rather strange.

Hu Jiangshan and Catherine have a good personal relationship, so it's understandable that Catherine is so bold. But why would Bill Guise do the same thing, and even encourage it?
Does Bill Guise also trust Hu Jiangshan?
This is a bit outrageous. You have to know that Hu Jiangshan has only met Bill Gates two or three times and can't be said to be very familiar with him at all.

A big shot is a big shot; you can never guess what he's thinking.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care about any of that anymore. Since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to watch.

Hu Jiangshan carefully flipped through the documents, while Catherine waited quietly beside him, sometimes drinking coffee, sometimes admiring the scenery, and occasionally glancing at Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan overlooked one thing: how was Catherine so certain that Hu Jiangshan could understand these aerospace design documents?

This is all solid, hard-hitting information, with absolutely no fluff. It includes formulas that are so profound that even a PhD in science wouldn't understand them, as well as various complex theories written in British English.

It's important to know that British has a major, intractable flaw: a large number of new words are created every year, especially in highly specialized fields, which are not easily understood by people who haven't studied those fields.

Asking ordinary people who have experienced free and joyful education to read books on medicine, chemistry, and physics is no different from reading gibberish or books in another language.

As for professional materials related to aerospace, they are even more complex and completely incomprehensible to the average person.

However, Hu Jiangshan was now watching very seriously, seemingly without any professional knowledge barriers. Catherine watched all this without finding it strange at all, as if she thought it was normal.

Moreover, Catherine would occasionally show an expression of admiration for Hu Jiangshan.

It seems that this Asian man is indeed very charming in Catherine's eyes.

At this moment, Catherine noticed that Hu Jiangshan's coffee was almost gone, so she poured him a cup of coffee herself.

Goodness, if Bill Guise saw this, he would definitely have mixed feelings and feel uneasy. You know, at home, his precious daughter Katherine rarely pours coffee for her dad, Guise.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan's face lit up with delight: "Great! This is exactly what I wanted!"

Catherine, looking curious, came up behind Hu Jiangshan to see what he was looking at.

That was a design draft of an aerospace facility, only a part of it. The function and role of this facility were exactly the same as that of a "precision assembly workshop for aerospace equipment".

Hu Jiangshan studied the paper even more carefully, spending a long time on each page, especially the page with the overall design drawings, where he even tried to draw a few lines on the paper.

Catherine said, "Mr. Hu, you can copy this document out and study it at your leisure."

Hu Jiangshan was taken aback at first, then smiled and agreed: "Thank you so much, Catherine, you've really helped me a lot, you're such a good person!"

Hu Jiangshan forwarded the document to his email address and then continued to browse through the pile of documents to see if there was anything else useful.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan suddenly saw a special design draft of aerospace facilities.

At first glance, the design sketch looks like a roller coaster, but Hu Jiangshan immediately realized something was wrong.

That wasn't a roller coaster, it was a launch pad. A flurry of thoughts flashed through Hu Jiangshan's mind, and he suddenly realized what was happening.

That's right! Hu Jiangshan actually forgot about this.

It should be noted that Hu Jiangshan had specifically researched similar projects in his previous life, and they had already entered the implementation stage, although they were still in the experimental stage and had not yet been officially put into use.

Catherine noticed Hu Jiangshan's excitement and asked, "Mr. Hu, is this... a launch pad?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "That's right, this is a launch pad."

"It looks so strange."

"Because this is an electromagnetic catapult launcher, it is definitely different from the vertical jet launchers we usually see."

An electromagnetic catapult launcher, as the name suggests, uses electromagnetic catapults for launching.

What to launch?
Of course, it's about launching rockets and other spacecraft.

This launch pad is designed in a completely different way than the launch pads for rockets that launch liquid or solid fuels. It requires breaking out of existing thinking and is quite difficult.

Moreover, if such an electromagnetic catapult launcher were used, the design of spacecraft would likely need to be modified, and it would certainly not resemble the current rockets.

This is why similar projects progressed so slowly in Hu Jiangshan's previous life.

In fact, there should be similar projects under research in mainland China, but they are still in the functional demonstration stage.

The fact that this information is not detailed enough indicates that the engineers or researchers who created it did not take it seriously at all.

This is quite normal and in line with the course of history.

The United States certainly has no shortage of people with all sorts of strange and wonderful ideas, but it is quite difficult to push these ideas forward and make them into reality.

The idea of ​​an "electromagnetic catapult launcher" is quite novel. Both the United States and China had thought of it at the same time, but only China had people investing a lot of energy and money in researching it.

When Hu Jiangshan was pushing this project to its implementation in his previous life, there was still no movement from the United States.

This is similar to projects like laser weapons and electromagnetic railguns. The United States started researching them a long time ago, but it was China that truly pushed them to fruition and produced usable physical prototypes.

The main issue is the gap in industrial capabilities. Following the normal course of history, the gap between the United States and China will only widen.

To be honest, this project design proposal for the "electromagnetic catapult launcher" was not very good. Hu Jiangshan's work in his previous life was a hundred times better. However, this document mainly gave Hu Jiangshan great inspiration, which is where its value lies.

Catherine asked, "Mr. Hu, you're not thinking of making this, are you? An electromagnetic catapult launcher?"

Hu Jiangshan pondered for a moment: "I just have this idea. To actually make it happen, there are too many difficulties to overcome. I'm not confident about it yet."

"That's right. Look at this design proposal. It's written very hastily. It seems to be just a concept and doesn't have much practical value."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Following his line of thinking, it is indeed impossible to implement."

"So, Mr. Hu, do you have a better idea?" Catherine blinked.

Hu Jiangshan said, "Right now, I just have an idea, an idea for Adil. I'll try to make a plan later and see if it can be realized."

Catherine looked at the diagram of the electromagnetic catapult launcher again and said, "If Boss Hu can make it, it will definitely shock the entire planet."

"Well, I hope so. I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Huh? Mr. Hu, are you serious? You're not joking?"

“Catherine, I don’t want to lie to you, I really do have this idea, just you wait and see.”

"If you actually succeed, the resort's business might be even better, and then we might have to consider expanding the resort."

Hu Jiangshan looked at Catherine and smiled: "You're right, that's a good idea."

Hu Jiangshan then looked through the remaining aerospace data, but there wasn't much useful information.

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Catherine for a while, then drank a cup of coffee before saying goodbye and leaving.

Anyway, Catherine will be staying here for a while, and Hu Jiangshan will come over to have a small get-together with her when he has time, so it's very convenient.

Hu Jiangshan walked slowly down the main road of the resort. He had a strange feeling that someone was watching him.

But when he turned around to look, he found nothing. Everyone seemed normal, just ordinary tourists.

Hu Jiangshan shook his head, feeling that he must have been too tired these past few days, bogged down in trivial matters, so he felt a little confused, and might even be hallucinating.

Forget it, I'll just find a place to sleep.

Hu Jiangshan has just obtained a relatively mature design for the "precision assembly workshop for aerospace equipment" from Catherine. It can be used with just a few modifications, so Hu Jiangshan doesn't need to rush at all. He can rest for a while and then continue working, and he can still keep up with the schedule.

Meanwhile, in a nearby shop selling cold drinks, a man slowly looked up, glanced at Hu Jiangshan, quickly lowered his head, and whispered, "Bald White, the target has already come down the mountain. I'm going to retrieve the equipment. Keep an eye on things."

A very soft voice came through the miniature earpiece: "Got it, Tiger. Go quickly, and be discreet."

The man named Hu Zi didn't say anything more, but paid the bill and got up to go upstairs.

Soon, Tiger returned with his hands in his pockets, acting as if nothing had happened.

A bald man sat down in the spot where Tiger had been sitting, and Tiger handed something to the bald man.

This bald man is the ordinary-looking guy who followed Hu Jiangshan in Wolong Ice Room before.

Tiger said, "I checked, there's data in there. You should hurry up and leave the island to hand it over to the boss."

"Understood. You continue to keep an eye on things here, and notify me immediately if you see Hu Jiangshan again."

Tiger nodded, got up and left.

Evening at Henry's Manor.

A Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the manor house.

The car door opened, and Li Changxi stepped out.

A well-dressed person came forward to greet them.

Li Changxi asked, "Uncle Gang, is Grandpa in the garden?"

"Yes, young master, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Changxi nodded and went into the main house.

In Li Changxi's pocket was the secret device that Bald Bai had brought back from Tenglong Island.
