It is Kokang and Changchun

　These equipment include but are not limited to individual reconnaissance drones, unmanned reconnaissance balls (similar to the remote-controlled reconnaissance vehicles in Rainbow Six), "Red Wing Vanguard" wall-penetrating radars, combat robot dogs, and "Sharp Claw" remote-controlled weapon unmanned vehicles.

　Speaking of the "Sharp Claw" remote-controlled weapon unmanned vehicle, someone within Norinco initially suggested calling it "Dragon Roar Guard." While it sounds powerful and imposing, the name was ultimately rejected.

　According to the training instructors sent by China to North Korea, when the Korean People's Army soldiers first received these equipments, their eyes were so wide that their eyeballs almost fell out, and they were so fond of them that they couldn't let go.

　The North Korean soldiers were very motivated during the process of learning how to use and train. Even after the standard training period, they kept pestering the Chinese instructors for extra training, saying that North and South were not unified and that they would train them to death as long as they didn't die.

　The Chinese instructors who were being pestered couldn't help but think of their former revolutionary predecessors and scientific researchers when they saw the motivated and enterprising Korean People's Army soldiers. Had they not, once upon a time, worked tirelessly to become stronger, just like these Korean soldiers?

　The North Korean army, with its firm ideology and will, hard training, and diligent learning and familiarization with new equipment and tactics, will inevitably unleash extremely strong combat effectiveness.

　Third, the advantage in military strength. In the battle to attack Seoul, North Korea relied on its superior military strength and number of reserves to continuously launch continuous strong attacks on the front line.

　A South Korean officer who withdrew from the front line said: "We underestimated the North Korean army's fighting spirit. Whenever one of their units began to lose momentum in the offensive, they would quickly replenish it with another unit to maintain the offensive. In other words, their offensive never stopped."

　North Korea's military has undergone significant changes in recent years. Judging from the annual military parades, the military has evolved from the traditional Cold War style to a modern look, at least for the army.

　However, due to the scale of its own industry and the large size of its army, North Korea has not yet deployed these newly developed army equipment, especially heavy equipment, on a large scale.

　Therefore, China's aid to North Korea, in addition to a large number of weapons in stock, is more about supporting its domestic industry and infrastructure. The goal is to enable North Korea to basically meet the supply needs of the front line battlefield while obtaining energy and mineral resources from the Soviet Union.

　On the North Korean side, after receiving the spot goods and industrial aid, it used domestic and Soviet resources to work in three shifts to produce various types of weapons, equipment and supplies.

　To expedite the capture of Seoul, North Korea was accumulating armored and mechanized forces, preparing for another pincer attack to completely divide and encircle Seoul. This would not only facilitate persuasion but also minimize losses and damage to the city.

　----------------

　The intense fighting on the front lines between North and South Korea does not seem to have had a significant impact on South Korea's scientific community. Recently, a team of South Korean scientists published a paper claiming to have achieved room-temperature superconductivity.

　The study shows that a material named "LK-99" can achieve room-temperature superconductivity. LK-99 is a hexagonal structure of lead apatite with a slightly modified structure. A small amount of copper is introduced, which allows it to exhibit superconductivity below 127 degrees Celsius.

　The publication of the paper sent shockwaves through the global physics community, and numerous teams began researching the Korean team's findings.

　In multiple replication experiments

　In the materials synthesized by the Korean team, no superconductivity was detected. Therefore, the success of the Korean researchers has also aroused many doubts.

　After the paper attracted international attention, members of the South Korean research team stated on the morning of August 2 that the paper contained flaws and was published without authorization by a member of the team. The team has now requested that the paper be removed from the shelves.

　Every "news" in the field of cutting-edge technology will bring turmoil to the global capital market, and speculators will often rush in to take advantage of this, and this time is no exception.

　On August 1, A-share superconductor stocks surged. By market close, Farsens, Baili Electric, and Yongding Co., Ltd. hit their daily limit, while Western Superconducting climbed over 7% and Lianchuang Optoelectronics rose over 6%.

　In the U.S. stock market, an American heavy communications equipment company called "American Superconductor" saw its U.S. stock price rise by nearly 150% on August 1, and closed up 60%.

　On the morning of August 2nd, news that a South Korean team working on room-temperature superconductivity admitted to flaws in their paper failed to stem the "superconductivity fever" in the A-share market. By the close of trading that day, shares of Guolan Testing, Farsens, Zhongfu Industrial, and Baili Electric had hit their daily limit, while Yongding shares rose over 8%.

　After a few days of commotion, the world's scientific community was once again disappointed. So, after all this talk, what are room-temperature superconductors?

　According to an article published by the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, superconductivity is a special state of matter with two main indicators: critical temperature and critical magnetic field.

　Superconductors have zero electrical resistance, allowing for lossless power transmission. They also exhibit perfect diamagnetism, as demonstrated in liquid nitrogen superconducting magnetic levitation. Room-temperature superconductors, as the name suggests, are superconductors that operate at room temperature.

　The application of superconducting materials is currently limited to low-temperature and high-pressure environments. If a breakthrough is made in room-temperature superconducting materials, it will bring about changes in many fields such as energy, transportation, computing, and medical testing.

　For example, more efficient energy transmission, conversion and storage, higher-speed transportation, faster information processing speed and more advanced treatment methods.

　This paper by the Korean scientist caught Eve's attention at first, but after just two glances, Eve knew that the so-called room-temperature superconductor discovered in the paper was just a false proposition.

　"I was wondering how it could be so fast... If it's true, it's really too fast for human capabilities." Eve finished reading the paper in her mental network and complained:

　"If room-temperature superconductors are truly developed, I'd suspect AC is secretly helping South Korea again. So far, it seems Eve's worries are unnecessary."

　In the White House in Washington, Admiralty Code also noticed the news about room-temperature superconductivity. After learning that it was fake, she couldn't help but sneer and said:

　"Humanity's technological development is only so fast. How can such an inefficient, cannibalistic race have the qualifications and ability to venture into deep space? It would be better if all races were converted. Isn't that a form of destruction?"

　Chapter 324: A Shipgirl Fan's Complaint

　Extreme weather often has a wide-ranging impact. For example, when Super Typhoon Dusurui made landfall in Fujian, surrounding provinces and cities activated their emergency response plans.

　"zyts新折翼" (hereinafter referred to as zyts) is an older young man living in Huzhou, Zhejiang. His age this year just meets the age for automatic withdrawal from the group - 28 years old.

　Now, because of the super typhoon landing in Fujian, he, who works in a grassroots government department, is working overtime to inspect the disaster prevention situation in the area under his jurisdiction.

　While patrolling with a flashlight, zyts was thinking about some things, such as the world that has become more and more magical in the past two years; things like the advent of KanColle, the liberation of Soviet Russia, the Japanese Revolution, and the deep-sea attack.

　For him, the emergence of Kancolle and the deep sea is the most magical thing in the natural sciences, and the fact that Japan's socialist revolution can flourish is the most magical thing in the social sciences today.

　"Tsk... This world feels like it's heading towards the plot of a novel I once conceived, but it's also a little different..." zyts pondered carefully.

　A few years ago, zyts had conceived a story about KanColle, combining the characters of KanR with the settings in "Arpeggio of Blue Steel". The plot was also about the advent of KanColle, the attack from the deep sea, and then the world war. In the end, mankind paid a huge price to win.

　However, due to various subjective and objective reasons, his novel was ultimately aborted and never published. However, he still occasionally ponders and entertains himself with the subsequent ideas of the novel in his spare time.

　The reason why zyts said that reality is different from his conception is because the book he conceived was a pure Kanpei R story, because when he first started conceiving, Kanpei B had not yet been launched. In reality, there are not only Kanpei R, but also Kanpei B's Kanmusu.

　Furthermore, the Ship Spirit's main body, as zyts conceived it, is imbued with a sci-fi aesthetic, both in appearance and in its interior and systems. For example, after the ship transforms into a Ship Spirit, its boilers and turbines, once filled with mechanical wind, become psychic reactors, complete with the invincible Klein Field Shield.

　The real-life KanColle is quite hardcore and no different from her original form before becoming a KanColle.

　For example, heavy oil fuel tanks, chemical energy artillery, steam/gas boilers and engines, mechanical instruments, radars and fire control instruments and other basic and simple electronic systems, most of these are things that the real ship girls have.

　So zyts thinks that because of the current

　The shipgirls in the real game are too hardcore, and their combat power is relatively limited compared to the Azure-series shipgirls, so their actions are more restricted by objective factors. If they could be as sci-fi as in Azure, where they are not afraid of nuclear weapons, the impact on the world situation would definitely be much greater than it is now.

　Furthermore, what zyts finds incomprehensible is why the Kancolles not only have original illustrations and costumes from their own company, but also original illustrations and costumes from competitors? For example, sometimes Anshan will appear in the military uniform of the neighboring company, and sometimes Chongqing will also wear the uniform of the neighboring company.

　This is good for dual-cultivation players or Sunni KanColle enthusiasts, and there's no harm in it. But aren't you afraid of angering Shia players and attracting Muslims, Banelings, or B-filial sons?

　Moreover, in the plot that I conceived, I only intend to briefly mention the Japanese plot. Not only is there no content about the socialist revolution, but it is also a supporting country that was completely occupied after being slaughtered by the deep sea.

　China was the first of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to be attacked on a large scale in the deep sea. It had few warships and basically won the war by relying on its industrial strength and the Great Wall of Fleet and Blood, paying a heavy price.

　But the reality is that only the United States is currently taking a beating. The deep sea doesn't seem to be intent on ruling or destroying humanity. It simply keeps promoting its ambition to defeat the United States, the "cancer of humanity," and to eliminate evil and treason in the world.

　Moreover, the Deep Sea did not touch the United Nations headquarters in New York, and even agreed that humans could hold meetings there and try to actively manage the occupied areas.

　You know, the attitude of the deep sea in zyts's conception towards humans is either massacre and forced conversion, or letting them run free. They don't care about the life and death of humans, so how could they do such a thing?

　Or is it that the performance of these deep seas in reality is more like the performance of the deep sea of ​​Fortress Princess in the novel he conceived?

　Furthermore, the Japanese ship spirits are essentially villains, mostly relegated to the deep sea. In reality, some Japanese ship girls were initially tough, but later admitted their mistakes and joined the revolution. While this is welcome, it's still a bit too fantastical.

　"Apart from these, why is the style of the deep sea in reality so World War II-style? Shouldn't such a being wear a futuristic, close-fitting combat tights?" zyts felt puzzled.

　Indeed, there is a big difference between the real deep sea and the deep sea in his novel, especially in terms of clothing, weapons and vehicles.

　But he also felt that if he dug away these superficial things, there would always be some similarities, such as the silver hair and red eyes, the "stone" left after death and the dissipation of the light spots, as well as the vaccine incident in Japan two years ago.

　"That's fine, but the more important thing is, aren't Kanmusu ships? If they're ships, they belong to the navy. It's only natural for the navy to fight naval battles! Why are they all trying to figure out how to use Kanmusu to fight land battles?

　"It's fine for Soviet and Russian shipgirls to fight land battles; that's a traditional skill. But how come you, the Americans, a nation that values ​​sea power, after using shipgirls to fight a few naval battles in the early days, are now all going to land battles? Are you using your first-class personnel as if they were fourth-class personnel?" zyts was puzzled.

　zyts believes that it is not a good choice for ship girls to fight in land battles. The reason is that "the master cannot stop the fleet, and the fleet can steal your home", which is similar to the meaning of two fists cannot fight four hands, and it is difficult to take care of one thing while taking care of another.

　Therefore, in his novel, KanColle focuses on naval combat. Specifically, the naval combat is basically a modern re-creation of famous naval battles from World War II, except that this re-creation does not include winning or losing. However, the real-life KanColle combat focuses more on land battles.

　Somehow, zyts suddenly remembered a netizen in his group with the online name "Light Cruiser Pinghai". He didn't know his real name, but he only heard him mention that his last name was Zhan.

　When he thought of him, zyts instantly felt a surge of envy and jealousy. A month ago, Pinghai posted a photo of himself and Changchun in the group chat, saying they were chatting and laughing, and that they got along really well. He felt incredibly jealous.

　"It looks like Pinghai will soon have his second spring." zyts joked in the group at that time.

　At the end of 19, Pinghai announced in the group that he had a girlfriend, and it was his girlfriend who took the initiative to confess her love to him. Pinghai was flattered and was even happier than Fan Jin when he passed the imperial examination.

　But the good times didn't last long. After just a few months, his girlfriend broke up with him. That's why Zyts said that meeting Changchun after Pinghai was his second spring.

　Zyts himself is also a Kanmusu fan, and he likes many Kanmusu, but the ones he devotes the most attention to are Enterprise (regardless of BR) and Z23. Especially Z23, which is his starting ship of Kanmusu B.

　Most people chose Lafite or Javelin, but when a friend in the group asked him why he chose the Z23, he said he felt it was inexplicably heroic and chose it at first sight. Of course, it might also have had a lot to do with Zyts being a German.

　"Well, Changchun is at least a Chinese ship in terms of nationality, and I still have the chance to see it from afar when I go to Haibo. But what about Z23? I can't expect her to come to China one day, or for me to have the money and time to travel to Germany to see her one day..." zyts sighed.

　He felt that if Z23 came to China, he would have to ask the organization for a few days' leave to go and see the real Z23.

　"Besides, Nimi-chan is a master of Marxist humanities and social sciences. I haven't even read the original works, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her."

　"People have to be realistic and do their flood prevention duty work well. How can you climb a high branch without a few ladders?" As he said this, zyts continued to wave the flashlight and went to check another place.

　He also casually complained, "If this world were a novel, then I think the author of this novel would definitely be a fan of early historical Kanmusu literature, a player who practices both shipbuilding and shipbuilding, and a communist with some relatively idealistic ideas."

　----------------

　Meanwhile, the German port of Kiel

　"What? You were admitted to Keele University? Congratulations! Which college and what major?" Z23 received a private message from Rena Langley on Twitter, which contained a cover of a university acceptance letter. She sincerely congratulated her little fan.

　At first, Langley wanted to tell Tirpitz the good news, but Tirpitz had not returned from sea training yet. When she could not contact him, she changed her mind and contacted Z23.

　"Yes, I originally wanted to try my best to go to the University of Berlin, but I think going to Kiel will allow me to visit you better, so..." Lena Langley replied playfully sticking out her tongue.

　She then told Z23 the major he had been admitted to. "The college he was admitted to is the School of Economics and Social Sciences, and his major is Economics."

　Upon hearing that it was economics, Z23 fell into a brief moment of thought, then said, "Comrade Langley, I congratulate you again on being admitted to university, but I must remind you of something. I hope that in the future you will be prepared to endure things you don't like.

　The subject of economics is not friendly to communists or Marxist scholars because the teaching of economics in universities is mainly based on bourgeois economics, especially the content of the vulgar school (known as Western economics in China).

　It may be okay to study the content of British classical economics, after all, it is the direct theoretical source of Marxist political economy.

　But starting from the content after the so-called "marginalist revolution" of the Austrian school, these vulgar economics students are prone to high oil... no, high blood pressure.

　Böhm-Bawerk and Hayek were particularly influential. The former was a devoted Marxist hater, the latter a neoliberal zealot. While I was reading their critiques of Marx and socialism, the oil pressure gauge on my body remained in the yellow zone.

　Z23 is a relatively calm person (ship), but being calm does not mean that she will not get angry. If some opinions are really too rebellious and reactionary, any communist will get angry, it's just a matter of degree.

　Z23 continued, "If you can suppress your anger and want to dig the graves of these vulgar economists, that's great. Then there's the question of what you'll do with your graduation thesis four years from now."

　The biggest characteristic of bourgeois vulgar economics is that it studies the economy superficially, emphasizes exchange and distribution over production, and pursues the maximization of economic benefits.

　I remember hearing someone online describe how his thesis was about finding a balance between worker welfare and corporate profitability. His advisor didn't like the idea and told him to cut all benefits and instead find ways to save as much money as possible.

　"It's really disgusting to meet such a professor. After four years of studying and eating a lot of drugs, you are finally fed a lot of drugs for your thesis. It's really unbearable."

　Langley nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder, 23-chan. But we need to understand our enemies in order to better criticize them. When Marx criticized Proudhon, he patiently read Proudhon's book carefully, even though he didn't want to."

　"That's right," Z23 said. "I'm just worried that you might not be able to handle it in the future, so I'm giving you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared."

　Langley smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, I'm used to it. I practiced this a lot in high school, arguing with my father. Just keep a normal mindset. How can a bunch of dead people's perverse logic piss off a living person to death?"

　"Comrade, I'm glad you understand. What are your plans for the rest of the holiday?" Z23 was very pleased and turned to ask daily questions to ease the serious atmosphere.

　Langley said expectantly, "I want to travel to China."

　"What a coincidence! I want to go to China, too." Z23 was delighted to see that Langley and he had the same idea. "I want to go to China to study its socialist path and experience the charm of Eastern civilization."

　"That's perfect, Comrade Z23, let's go together. We can also invite Sister Tirpitz." Langley invited Z23.

　"Alas, how can we go abroad so easily?" Z23 sighed. "Our existence is quite special. Going abroad requires more than just a visa from the other country. Shipgirls must first apply to their own government and military to go abroad. Then, after the military and government of the target country receive the information and approve it, we can proceed to the target country.

　Because we are legally soldiers of one country, any visit we make to another country is considered a military visit, and the threshold is naturally much higher than for ordinary people to go abroad."

　"Oh, comrade 23, have you applied?" Langley asked.

　"I applied once last year, but didn't even pass the domestic review. I submitted it again a month ago, but still haven't heard anything. I guess it's probably rejected..." Z23 complained with a pout.

　Langley felt it was a pity, but after thinking about it, it made sense. "What a pity! This is clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope there will be a next time."

　At this time, Bismarck called Z23 on the communication line, and Z23 said to Langley, "Sorry, Comrade Langley, I have to take a call first, and we'll talk later."

　After the communication was connected, Z23 immediately stood at attention.

　"Hello, Commander Bismarck, any instructions?"

　"Narvik, I have good news for you. Your application has been approved by the navy and the government." Bismarck said calmly.

　Z23's eyes lit up, but his expression remained serious as a soldier. He asked, "Excellent, Commander Bismarck. I hope the Chinese side can also pass through next."

　"Well, I called to tell you this. Not only did we pass it, but China also passed it," said Bismarck.

　"Yes, got it!" Z23 was shocked. This happiness came too suddenly. She began to think about why she had failed the last time but passed this time.

　Half a minute later, after the chat with Bismarck ended and the communication was cut off, Z23 immediately told Langley the good news.

　Langley was also very happy. "Wow, that's great! So what's your schedule like?"

　Z23 said with a smile: "It must be Qingdao, to meet with the Chinese ship girls and have a friendly exchange. The next day we will go to Shanghai and the surrounding areas to see what the legendary scenery of "Heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" is like..."

　Chapter 325: Flood Control in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei

　Everyone should know the theory of the butterfly effect, but this theory is largely susceptible to the logical fallacy of slippery slope. But what if the butterfly itself is big enough?
