Chapter 632 The Precarious Relationship Between the Three Beauties

North America.

Pentagon - North American Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The generals at the Pentagon were extremely busy due to the complete annihilation of their northwestern Canada campaign.

Senior experts at the Higher Education Planning and Research Bureau were driven to the brink of mental collapse by the three departments.

First, after the successful manned lunar landing of the third system, everyone was attracted by the 200 architects who built the permanent lunar base, lunar shipyard, and lunar launch platform.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the 11 crew members, dressed in spacesuits, jumped from a height of 30 meters.

Then, driving the two-wheeled electric scooters developed by Titan Corporation, they planted flags everywhere, like marking out territory.

They not only put it in, but also removed the North American flag, which was left with only a metal pole from the Apollo moon landing, and replaced it with a red flag.

What's even more infuriating is that when they left, they actually ran over North American flagpoles with two electric scooters.

This is a provocation!

This is Chi Guoguo’s provocation!

Furthermore, from deploying exploration drones around the moon to now planting flags everywhere, in less than three months, the three systems have already "occupied" 200 million square kilometers of land on the lunar surface, accounting for about one-twentieth of the total lunar area of ​​3800 million square kilometers.

If things continue like this, by the time North America launches a manned lunar mission, the astronauts might not even have a place to land.

"We must lodge a protest and we must launch the moon landing program as soon as possible!"

After reaching a consensus, senior experts from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and management of the North American Space Force jointly submitted a $2500 billion grant request to the North American Congress.

Then the relevant copywriting was directly thrown into the trash can by the government officials.

Of course, this is only the first reason that made everyone's mentality explode.

The second thing is that the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) spent five and a half years and nearly $300 billion to finally develop chemical vapor deposition, enabling the mass production of graphene.

At the same time, they secretly acquired all the graphene on the market at a price of 100 red banknotes per gram, while simultaneously developing and producing their own graphene at a cost of 120 red banknotes per gram, secretly stockpiling it.

This will be used to wage a price war with the three-system and seize the graphene supply and demand market.

Unexpectedly, before the price war even started, graphene prices dropped.

The price plummeted from 100 red banknotes per gram to 2 red banknotes per gram.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) looked at its 3000 tons of graphene, then at the massive supply of tens of thousands of tons at the trade hall, and calculated the losses: $300 billion in R&D, $150 billion in factory construction, $250 billion in purchasing, and $250 billion in production…

Nearly 1000 billion US dollars were squandered just like that.

Not to mention the agency's mental breakdown, and even more so, the fact that Old Bush cursed on the spot upon receiving the news.

Even the leaders of the National Assembly, who were mired in financial problems, unanimously decided to shut down the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a money-burning and wasteful institution.

Fortunately, the major North American corporations were all well aware of the importance of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), and the matter was ultimately dropped.

But the mind-blowing stuff wasn't over yet.

The third thing is nuclear fusion.

According to the scientific community, nuclear fusion is a clean energy source with low radiation and low pollution, which can be used to replace nuclear fission, which is high in radiation, pollution, and cost.

Therefore, the vast majority of scientists believe that nuclear fusion is 'pure nuclear fusion' and has nothing to do with nuclear fission.

Otherwise, if nuclear fission is involved, it will not only not be a clean energy source, but it will also require the construction of two completely different reactors, resulting in a higher overall cost.

This has led to the current focus of controlled nuclear fusion research in the world being the 'fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device' proposed in the 50s, as well as magnetic confinement systems, with almost no progress in these areas.

It can be said that the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is in trouble and is shrouded in enormous engineering and physics challenges.

Without sufficient new materials, new technologies, and time, it will be difficult to continue.

Unexpectedly, the three systems took an unconventional approach and created the 'hybrid reactor'.

According to a newly released report from the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau, the process involves using the high temperature of nuclear fission to start a fusion reactor, thereby bypassing the difficult-to-achieve magnetic confinement fusion or inertial confinement fusion and solving the problem of the huge energy output required for the 'ignition' stage.

Then, the high-energy neutrons produced by the nuclear fusion reaction are used to bombard the nuclear waste—thorium-232 or uranium-238—in the nuclear fission reactor, turning it into fissile material. This process is then used to add value to the combustion and treatment of waste, ultimately achieving an extremely complex internal circulation system.

Although this is not the mainstream nuclear fusion, nor is it the future direction of nuclear fusion development, it has successfully created a nuclear fusion reactor that can operate stably for 3 days.

Compared to current tokamak devices where plasma discharge time is measured in minutes, the three-system hybrid reactor has achieved a significant leap forward, truly shocking the world in today's context.

Furthermore, it represents a landmark breakthrough in the field of nuclear fusion.

At least three systems have achieved nuclear fusion.

Most importantly, in the traditional view, nuclear fusion is used to 'boil water and generate electricity'.

However, an in-depth analysis of the photos taken by reporters from Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau when they accompanied Yu Sanyuan on a site visit to the 212 nuclear power plant, as well as the research reports provided by Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau, reveals the true nature of the situation.

The North American Advanced Research Projects Agency (NARPA) was astonished to discover that, strictly speaking, the nuclear fusion achieved by the three systems was not intended for power generation.

Or, to put it another way, the mainstay of future three-system power generation will still be the existing nuclear fission-high temperature gas-cooled reactor, and the fifth-generation nuclear fission power generation technology that will be developed later.

A nuclear fusion reactor, which coexists with a nuclear fission reactor, does not boil water or provide heating; its main purpose is to release high-energy neutrons.

Releasing high-energy neutrons can achieve a 'bombardment' effect.

The greater the energy, the greater the bombardment force.

Taking the nuclear fusion device at Factory 212 as an example, it can bombard targets at least 80 to 100 kilometers away.

And it can act like a super electromagnetic pulse bomb, plunging an area into electronic silence for dozens of days, or even half a year.

Who are the three systems planning to attack?
Bombard North America?

Impossible, because high-energy neutron beams, like lasers, can only travel in a straight line.

Therefore, the three systems bombard the orbit and the lunar surface.

"I strongly suspect that they are already preparing for a space war, after all, they are seizing territory on the lunar surface!"

"I also suspect that's the case, but I'm more worried that the Third System is working on a nuclear fusion engine, or what we might call a nuclear fusion propulsion device."

"If we maintain the status quo, the Native Americans will be what we suffer!"

Therefore, the North American Advanced Research Projects Agency (NAAR), together with the Space Force and the Pentagon Operations Department, submitted a major analytical report of more than 1100 pages to the North American Congress, requesting a budget of $1200 billion for nuclear fusion research.

at this time.

The bigwigs in the North American Congress are having a huge headache over the technology alliance.

Without even glancing at the analysis report, he threw the document into the trash can again.

North American Advanced Research Projects Agency, North American Space Force, Pentagon Operations: "The National Assembly is colluding with the Third Party!"

However, this is indeed a bit unfair to the members of parliament.

Because the technology alliance is in big trouble.

The technology alliance is comprised of numerous technology companies, behind which are capitalists of all sizes from the federal government.

These capitalists are scattered across North American states, each owning their own industries, dominating the development of their respective states, and using their influence to ostensibly elect federal senators and then secretly elect federal representatives through the ballot box.

It can be said that members of the North American Senate and House of Representatives are essentially spokespeople for state capitalist groups in Washington.

To put it bluntly, the capital groups behind a member of parliament are the same groups that come from which they come.

The tech alliance is in big trouble, which means the legislators' financial backers are in big trouble.

When it comes to their own affairs, how could the government officials have the leisure to pay attention to the Pentagon?
As for what the big trouble is...

Of course, it's a massive explosion of technology across all three systems.

This major explosion of the three-system technology had a very clear prelude.

Examples include AI-driven mountain god defection, global AI deification, and personalized terminal AI.

This is equivalent to the three systems using the above events to warm up the global market and popularize their AI. However, the Western technology alliance not only failed to notice the three systems' intentions, but also gleefully participated in it, resulting in the three systems' AI spreading to every corner of the world in a short period of time.

Strictly speaking, however, 3-system AI is a computer application, an app.

It is developed based on a three-system graphics card matrix and consists of a database, a large model, a central processing unit, a three-element communication network, and three-system terminals.

The Sanxi terminal uses a SoC chip developed by Sanxi Electronics based on ARM to run Sanxi AI and other applications, and then achieves usage through 'real-time download and upload'.

Currently, although 3G phones from the Western technology alliance can also support the three-system AI, it is a simplified version cloned by the three companies after signing relevant agreements, through licensing and attaching the three-system radio frequency chip to 3G phones.

Therefore, with AI becoming widespread globally, only the three-system terminals can perfectly run and fully demonstrate the functions of the three-system AI.

In contrast, 3G phones.

If it wants to perfectly support the new functions extended from the three AI systems - AR, VR, brain-computer interfaces, and support tens of thousands of related new applications, it must re-obtain the three AI systems license.

The licensing agreement involves patent fees, usage fees, revenue sharing, the cost of the new three-series RF chips, and the cost of data traffic for the three-element communication network…

3G phones are expensive to manufacture and sell, while third-generation terminals are inexpensive to manufacture and sell; the two sides are now fighting fiercely for market share.

For example, a high-end brand brawl - Apple vs. 'SY'.

For example, mid-range brands are battling it out – Samsung, Blackberry, Kyocera vs. 'MT', and the 3 Series handheld console.

For example, low-end brands fighting each other - Obi, HTC, LG, HP, Sony Ericsson, Orange Technology vs. the three major brands: ZTE, Huayi, etc.

This led to a decline in the profit margin of 3G mobile phones from 75% at the beginning to 12% year by year.

Now, if we were to regain the three-series license, let alone maintain a 12% profit margin, we would probably lose money on every single unit sold, which would be like giving money away to Yu Sanyuan at a loss.

However, if they do not regain the license from the three systems, Western technology products will gradually become obsolete, just like feature phones, under the overwhelming pressure from the three systems' electronic products.

Therefore, in order to protect their own interests and survival, the Western technology alliance had no choice but to demand that the North American government cancel the Triple Agreement and launch sanctions and antitrust investigations against Triple Electronics in order to maintain its global market share.

Therefore, the Western technology alliance instructed its members of parliament to introduce relevant legislation.

Then, in mid-07...

Although the North American Union was still dominated by the Bush administration, the Southern Republican faction lost control of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which meant it lost control of Congress.

The tech consortium's big capitalists, who each supported their own senators and representatives, used the North American Congress's functions to draft and pass bills, which the Bush administration was completely unable to stop.

at the same time.

Federal Capital is divided into several capital complexes, including BlackRock, which mainly invests in production; Vanguard, which mainly invests in high-tech; State Street and Blackstone, which mainly invest in financial products.

In the past few years, in order to build Austin-Silicon Hill, Old Bush did not hesitate to transfer his BlackRock shares in exchange for a major shareholder position in Vanguard, and then used Vanguard to attract technology companies everywhere.

The Tech Alliance is now at a critical juncture. As the major shareholder of Vanguard, Old Bush may seem to be able to restrain the Tech Alliance, but in reality, he has no control over it and must comply with its decisions.

Otherwise, the Bush family would become the target of public criticism in the South, lose support and votes, and ultimately be isolated and expelled.

As a result, the Bush administration could not prevent the North American federal government from passing legislation, and the old Bush administration had to support the technology alliance and the separation of the three systems.

It seems that Federal Capital is about to fall out with Three Systems Capital again.

The problem is that the Old Bush family and the three factions do not have any conflict of interest; on the contrary, they secretly maintain numerous close collaborations.

Although the Old Bush Group and the Three Capitals seem to be locked in a life-or-death struggle, they actually have the best relationship in the world.

Unlike Old Smith, who appeared to be on good terms with the three factions but was actually wary of each other, otherwise Yu Yang wouldn't have found a reason to lock Old Smith up during the three factions' bidding period.

Therefore, in order to maintain cooperation with the three systems, Bush had to secretly intervene in the bills introduced by the North American Congress and the decisions of the Western Technology Alliance.

In other words, on the one hand, they spent money lobbying members of the House and Senate to delay the bill's enactment; on the other hand, through Vanguard, they invited David Ensger's Tijuana Group to join them, and then through David Ensger, they acquired Western technology companies to block and disrupt the Western technology alliance's plan to sanction Three Systems Electronics.

The two plans are being carried out simultaneously.

Ultimately, the non-Republican members of Congress, lobbied by Bush and facing immense pressure from their respective financial backers, along with the open support of members belonging to the Southern Republican faction, narrowly delayed the enactment of the two bills—"sanctioning the three factions" and "initiating an antitrust investigation into the three factions"—with 50 against, 49 in favor, and 1 abstention.

This means that the lawmakers who voted against the proposal went against the wishes of their respective financial backers.

The financial backer, the Western Technology Alliance, originally intended to pass a bill that would take immediate effect, catching Sanxi Electronics off guard. Now that the bill has been delayed, it's as if they're telling Yu Sanyuan, "I'm going to attack you."

What would Yu Sanyuan's reaction be?
Therefore, the technology alliance encountered a major problem.

The tech alliance, facing serious trouble, immediately vented its anger on the members of Congress they supported.

The lawmakers who went against the wishes of their benefactors were severely criticized and naturally ignored the repeated applications submitted by the Pentagon, the North American Space Force, and the North American Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Fortunately.

The fact that the two bills sanctioning and investigating the three systems have been delayed does not mean they will not take effect in the future.

Just because Old Bu can intervene this time doesn't mean he can intervene next time.

Therefore, the Western technology alliance's plan cannot be considered a failure.

only.

During this process, no one realized that the reason why the Western technology alliance was hostile to the three systems was actually because international jurisprudence that had infiltrated North America was secretly fueling the conflict.

The other party intends to slow down the depreciation of European assets by undermining the cooperation between the three systems, and then promote cooperation between Europe and the United States to jointly counter the three systems and achieve the appreciation of European assets.

Puyang Electronic Industrial Park, Digital Plaza.

Yu Yang stood by the roadside, listening to his secretary recount the above information while gazing at the representatives of major world-renowned brands who were unaware that the Western Technology Alliance intended to turn against him and were vying for the three-system license.

"Chairman Yu, should we take countermeasures against Western Electronics?"

"Send a few thousand fat black men over there and kill them all."

"???"

"Is it possible?!"

"Sure!"

"just kidding."

"... "

Yu Yang waved his hand, indicating that they should take a stroll in the Shili Mall next to the square, and continued, "The Western Technology Alliance must have a lot of hidden technologies. This explosion of three-system technology is like squeezing the last drop of toothpaste. We'll wait until they bring out the technology and put it into use before we decide how to deal with them."

“If left unchecked, they will use the federal government to sabotage our business in the Americas.”

"No problem, let Obi and Tijuana be responsible for underwriting the new generation of three-series electronic products."

Will the Western technology alliance take action against them?

"Take action? I don't believe those congressmen and their financial backers have the guts to go after David Engsger."

Chatting.

The group arrived at Shili Shopping Mall.

Upon entering the main gate, the hall is filled with countless electronic appliances related to graphene.

Yu Yang randomly turned on a heater, tried it out, and then looked at the salesperson, "Is this really the effect of graphene?"

"Absolutely..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, he glanced at the prompt on the AR glasses and whispered, "Actually, it's about technological advancements improving the quality of life. The details and workmanship determine the comfort of using the product. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether there's graphene or not; it's just a gimmick."
