Chapter 15 Counter-espionage
Yang Jia gritted his teeth and finished reading, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.
She only hoped that the officer on the other end of the walkie-talkie could forgive her for being forced into prostitution by circumstances and understand that she was simply compelled to become a prostitute.
After hearing this perfectly balanced couplet, everyone was reminded of the story of Japan's failed attempt to outmaneuver the US military during World War II, which resulted in them being hit by two atomic bombs.
The group of boys who had gathered together burst into laughter.
Lin Yu also respectfully poured Yang Jia a full glass of wine:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yang. It was really my fault before."
"Miss Yang is very righteous, while I have become a treacherous person who harbors ill intentions."
After saying that, Lin Yu drank it all in one gulp.
His eyes seemed to be veiled by a layer of mist, and his whole body was covered in a drunken state.
Yang Jia took the wine glass and, seeing how drunk Lin Yu was, figured he was probably genuinely apologizing to her.
So he breathed a sigh of relief and kept comforting himself.
Being a spy, there's nothing shameful about it.
As long as the established goal is achieved, that's fine.
Seeing that he had regained trust, Lin Yu got completely drunk again.
Yang Jia directly began to probe:
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. We're all Chinese. It's normal to harbor resentment towards the Japanese. How can you call yourself a petty person?"
Yang Jia wanted to pour two more glasses of wine, but he was afraid that he had finally gained Lin Yu's trust.
After that glass of wine, Lin Yu was accidentally knocked out again.
If Lin Yu loses his memory again tomorrow, all of this effort will have been in vain.
So I just asked directly:
"Mr. Lin, where do you think our country's rocket and space launch progresses?"
Seeing that Yang Jiazhen believed his drunken act, Lin Yu sneered inwardly.
After so much preparation, the fish finally took the bait.
A few drinks can make you three-tenths drunk, but the performance can break your heart.
In his past life, he worked under his mentor, exchanging drinks with many business owners who came to curry favor with him.
I learned a lot about the ways of the place through observation and exposure.
In this life, due to his robust physique and vigorous spirit after transmigrating, his alcohol tolerance has greatly increased.
He wasn't even three-tenths drunk, and after only a light test, the female spy couldn't help but reveal her true purpose.
Lin Yu began to look down on her professionalism.
If this level of skill were applied to 2026, any random boss could probably take advantage of her and leave her with nothing.
Lin Yu pretended to be tipsy, acting as if he hadn't heard clearly but was still responding, and loudly replied:
"Huh? Yang Jia, what did you say?"
Yang Jia took a deep breath.
I felt like I was going crazy.
I finally managed to test the waters when no one was paying attention.
Now that Lin Yu has drawn everyone's attention again, how is she supposed to ask anything?!
But she was unwilling to let it end like this.
So he sat down next to Lin Yu and whispered the question into Lin Yu's ear.
This time, Lin Yu stopped acting, afraid of actually attracting Xu Haoxiang and the others' attention.
Then it's impossible to transmit messages in reverse.
If not now, when?
"The rocket and space program is progressing very smoothly!"
"Do you know about the American Milstar and Iridium projects? We'll be able to surpass them soon."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that their military satellite constellation can achieve global GPS positioning navigation."
"But our latest advancements not only include global GPS, but also enable real-time communication via satellite networks."
"This is called a satellite phone."
Yang Jia was shocked and instinctively thought that this was impossible.
Current communication networks rely on terrestrial signal base stations, and Japan doesn't even have plans to develop satellite phones.
The US Iridium project had only been announced for less than two years, and Motorola's satellite communications plan was already being ridiculed by the public.
China's first satellite was launched only a few years ago, and mobile phones were not yet widespread. How could we have fast-forwarded directly to making phone calls using satellites as relays?
Yang Jia never expected that this test would reveal the real truth.
Just to be on the safe side, and fearing that Lin Yu was just bragging at the drinking party, Yang Jia avoided Xu Haoxiang's gaze and tightly wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's arms, her fair skin deformed from the pressure.
Yang Jia whispered in Lin Yu's ear, "I'm so excited!"
"Wow, our country has become this amazing? How did we do that?"
Lin Yu tried to pull his hand away from Yang Jia's chest with some disgust, but because he was being held tightly, he could only passively let his arm be wrapped up.
"Hehe, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Current satellite navigation technology faces several challenges."
"First, satellite phone terminals are expensive to manufacture. Second, a global satellite network would require a large number of satellites, and with insufficient materials science, satellites are easily damaged in space and difficult to repair. Third, signals are extremely susceptible to interference, whether in cities or suburbs."
"But...but that's not a problem at all in our new plan."
As Lin Yu spoke, he sneered inwardly, waiting for Yang Jia to take the bait.
Does this technology really exist now?
Of course not, but that doesn't stop it from being the best bait for catching Japanese fish.
As an island nation, they rely on ships for transportation, and fishermen depend on fishing at sea for a living.
Geographically, Japan is situated between the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
As the Earth moves, even a slight shift in the tectonic plates of the inertial belt can make Japan, sandwiched in between, prone to various natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
If the cable is damaged, the communication system immediately reverts to ancient times.
No one needs satellite communication more than they do.
If you cast this bait, you're guaranteed to catch a big fish.
As for whether satellite communication can actually be achieved if the technical theory is explained?
Of course, it's impossible to develop it, since the technology he's about to talk about is terahertz theory, which hasn't even been widely applied by 2026.
He searched through the library at Beihang University, and there wasn't a single book about terahertz available at that time.
Lin Yu didn't know how many years later the theory was formally proposed, but it was a super theory that anyone with eyes could see clearly, and that the future would be a blue ocean.
Let Japan do the research.
Due to the limitations of the era, no matter how much money they spent, they couldn't figure it out.
Hearing that China is going to develop it, they certainly won't be willing to give up; they'll just grit their teeth and push through.
He went back to his mentor and reported the collusion to his superiors, hoping to keep it a secret for as long as possible, even if it meant another year.
The more Japan fails to develop the technology, the more it tries to steal it from China.
But this is just a future theory that has not yet taken shape.
At this point in time, the more Japan inquires, the less trace they will find.
However, a clear theory would only make them think that China must have kept it very well hidden, rather than that China had not done it at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt genuine joy for the first time since he returned from his time travel.
For the first time, I'm grateful to have returned to this era, to have interfered with Japan's scientific research path since the bubble economy.
He was almost impatient to see Japan, in a few years, realize in a fit of rage that it couldn't develop terahertz technology at all, and just when it was about to give up, it turned around and saw China pull out a legitimate commercial product.
Just because Japan can't do it doesn't mean that even if they had the magic touch, they still couldn't do it.
In terms of theoretical support, he can rely on artificial intelligence that connects to the future; in terms of practical application, he can use his expertise to overcome the limitations of materials science.
Thinking about this, Lin Yu felt incredibly happy.
He suspected that Yang Jia might have a listening device on him, so he didn't whisper in Yang Jia's ear anymore. Instead, he spoke in a normal volume, as if in a dream.
