94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 87 I don't care about this or that, no one knows more about terahertz than me!



Chapter 87 I don't care about this or that, no one knows more about terahertz than me!

After receiving Lin Yu's definitive answer, Hou Shoujiu remained silent for a long time.

He was pondering how to make use of this situation.

Lin Yu was also stunned. If Chief Hou hadn't said anything, he would have had no idea that so many experts and professors around the world had already believed it to be true.

They even plan to start doing something big.

Although this was his plan, he initially only intended to deceive Japan.

They even had the idea of ​​taking a chance, whether they had a chance or not.

Who knew that so many people would be caught?

At that time, terahertz waves were merely archives sealed away in some German laboratories.

Nobody cares.

Like many other studies, it was locked away, waiting to be discovered.

In a few years, when the Bayesian algorithm is discovered, the AI ​​wave will begin.

As papers on AIDS and HPV are widely disseminated, global awareness of sexually transmitted diseases will increase.

There is already research, but a considerable amount of it is not being taken seriously.

The claim that Helicobacter pylori causes stomach problems has been repeatedly proven in Australian academic journals, but they just won't acknowledge it.

That's how many academic things are.

It is clearly the truth, but those who control the narrative do not acknowledge it.

Just like that terahertz technology report now sealed in the laboratory, it wasn't even called terahertz.

It's possible that Lin Yu renamed it this time, and only after a group of people who held the power of discourse paid attention to it did it completely ignite the academic world.

Chief Hou misjudged the matter, but it's not his fault, because the whole thing was based on knowledge built on a lie.

The truth is that terahertz technology is a technology that will inevitably be developed in the future.

The lie is that China had already mastered terahertz technology in 1994, and other countries could also master it.

This kind of thing only fools smart people, not fools.

Anyone with common sense, except academic charlatans, can see that terahertz technology is the absolute future direction.

It's fine if no one points out this direction.

If only someone had pointed this out.

Then all that's left for the entire industry is frenzy.

Of course, this is related to the fact that it had only been a few days since Lin Yu had pointed this out.

After a while, some people might start to realize that something is wrong.

At this point, a little external force is needed to make them even more certain...

Lin Yu was so certain that no other country could replicate it at the moment.

This is because building a system from scratch in academia truly requires a great deal of trial and error.

The current goal is simply to find something that can stably emit terahertz waves.

They would exhaust most of the known substances in the world to test them.

After identifying this substance, the next step is to study how to pass electricity and light to release terahertz frequency light waves.

This is another very long trial-and-error process.

Even more terrifying.

Sometimes, even when you're almost there, the results are not obvious.

And it's normal not to know that this kind of result is not a phenomenon.

Instead, they considered the experiment a failure and abandoned all their previous efforts.

If they can find a way to stably emit light waves in a laboratory within ten years, they will be considered extremely lucky.

Don't even think about basic applications in less than twenty years.

It's normal for these discerning people to be so enthusiastic about this theory now that it's just been proposed.

But if we want to keep them burying their heads in the sand and spending huge sums of money on research, we have to blind these discerning people.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment.

It has a future development direction, which can be determined in advance at every stage.

The best thing about doing scientific research is having something that others don't.

The worst thing is when others have something that I don't.

This principle applies globally.

This formed the basis for the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

While other countries may encounter setbacks and become disheartened on their journey to develop terahertz technology.

Therefore, he severed all ties with love and relationships, stopped writing, and focused on his studies.

Isn't he still here?

Those working on terahertz technology in other countries may be disappointed by the lack of output over a long period.

But with Lin Yu around, he will definitely release information about the theoretical progress from time to time so that everyone doesn't fall behind.

We're doing very well here.

If you're thinking of giving up on this research, you'd better think it over carefully!

After all, this is a skill that is truly essential to master.

And now…

We simply don't have that industrial foundation.

Apart from Lin Yu, anyone else would only run into obstacles at every turn.

Lin Yu at least knew where the lack of industrial foundation lay.

He could follow the routes of later generations and gradually build up the relevant basic industries without going astray.

Finally, Lin Yu cautiously asked:

"Perhaps...we could set up a department specifically for strategic deception?"

These words startled Chief Hou, who was still deep in thought.

He recalled that during a previous discussion about the deployment of space-based weapons by the United States, Lin Yu had proposed a concept.

Most of the technologies that Americans claim are beyond our current understanding are just deceptive ideas.

The Star Wars program was rejected by this guy.

This kid also rejected space-based weapons.

At that time, he still couldn't quite believe it.

It's understandable that we can't comprehend the level of technology in the United States, given how much more advanced their technology is compared to ours.

But now we have Lin Yu's personal testimony, his example.

He suddenly understood why Lin Yu was so certain that what was happening in the US was a scam.

The terahertz technology that Lin Yu insisted was pure hype is now believed by people all over the world, isn't it?

This theory was witnessed by Chief Hou himself, and he personally followed its development and dissemination.

This was also a key reason why Lin Yu and their secret service unit made contact for the first time.

Commander Hou looked Lin Yu up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement.

They circled him once, looking at his head. He seemed no different from anyone else, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"What's wrong with your brain, kid?"

"My approval doesn't count, but I do believe there's great potential in this."

"I'll go back and report to my superiors. You can write a draft for me later, telling me all your knowledge about terahertz."

Chief Hou's expression turned serious.

"If what you say is true, and no one else can do this, then we're not just going to 'do' it, we're going to 'do it on a massive scale'!"

"We also had to keep it a secret and say we didn't do anything."

After speaking, Chief Hou and Lin Yu exchanged a glance.

They exchanged a knowing smile, then their smiles grew increasingly mischievous until their faces were completely wry.

There was no prior contact.

Chief Hou has now reached the exact same conclusion as Lin Yu.

"Can it be kept secret?"

Chief Hou asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

"We can keep it completely a secret; they'll only become more convinced that we've produced a finished product."

"Uncle Hou, let me tell you the truth first."

"According to my calculations, indium is an absolutely essential element for working with terahertz."

"We can secretly acquire some of this stuff first, and then observe who else in the international are involved, so we can figure out their moves."

"This substance is one of the rare elements, along with gallium, germanium, and thallium. It can be concentrated in these ores."

"Whether it's indium arsenide, indium phosphide, or indium antimonide, they all deserve close monitoring."
