Chapter 257 Conspiracy
"Imagine a rocket landing on the Tibetan Plateau, and then a team of robot dogs running to ferry it back to the launch site.

It's so cool that there's a robot that goes back to space to retrieve it, and then after it returns to the ground, a group of mechanical dogs carry it back home.

These robot dogs are equipped with their own batteries, and they are also powered by perovskite batteries, which are fully automated. "Chen Yuanguang said passionately.

After listening to this, Lin Jia had only one feeling, that doing this would either require very high accuracy in rocket recovery and landing, or very high power endurance for the robotic dog.

Because if the distance is two hundred kilometers, it is very difficult for conventional mechanical dogs to carry even a light rocket.

"Has perovskite battery technology achieved a breakthrough?" Lin Jia quickly realized this possibility.

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Yes, the latest results have exceeded 50% of the photoelectric conversion efficiency, which is close to the limit of perovskite batteries, and there is limited room for further breakthroughs.

But this is enough for the robot dog to carry the rocket back to the base from any launch site. "It is estimated that it will be implemented by the end of this year. The only doubt now is whether it will be broadcast live." Chen Yuanguang said.

Live streaming will mainly put more psychological pressure on the 4v area.

Judging from this new type of mechanical dog, the first few waves of subsequent landings will not require real people at all. It is only necessary to deploy mechanical dogs from the Penghu Islands to do the first wave of mine clearance and clear ground facilities.

But I just think I can put some pressure on the other party through live broadcast."

Every time Lin Jia comes to Mianyang, she feels like she is newlywed after a short separation. She thinks it is better for everyone to have a certain distance than to stay together every day before.

It's easy to find each other's shortcomings when you're together every day, but now that we see each other once a week, it's easier to not only find each other's strengths, but even if there are things you don't like, it's easy to ignore them.

I will comfort myself. After all, it's rare for us to meet, so there's no need to be angry.

While Lin Jia was spending the weekend in Mianyang, the New York Times first reported the news:
"According to internal sources, China plans to hand over the entire aerospace industry to Wright Chen, who is known as the pride of the Chinese people. Wright Chen's outstanding contributions to Guangjia Aerospace in the past are the biggest reason for this decision.

The fact that China has finally achieved full recovery of its electric-powered rockets over the past year has reaffirmed China's confidence in Dr. Wright, and it also means that NASA will face a stronger opponent."

A piece of news from the New York Times instantly sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

In the past few years, the gap between America and China has been visibly narrowing rapidly. In some areas, China has already surpassed America. For example, in a series of scientific research activities around the moon, China has successfully recovered lunar soil, while America is still in the planning stage.

SpaceX's Starship finally helped America to recover some of the situation, but China quickly fought back with the Shenzhou-Guangzhou Armor.

After the news came out, everyone was panicked and negative views dominated.

"Hello, I would like to ask if you think America is still ahead of China in the aerospace field?" A blogger who does street interviews on a foreign short video platform regards this matter as a good topic.

"I'm sorry, I don't think we are still ahead of China. We can even say that we are already behind. China's rocket recovery technology is so cool. Compared with it, the starship is just like a product of the last century.

It's like China has just entered the 21st century, but our aerospace sector is still stuck in the 20th century, and even scarier is that NASA is stuck in the 19th century." The white guy seemed a little disappointed when he was interviewed.

"According to the New York Times, Wright will take over all aerospace work in China. Do you think Wright will cause the gap between us and China in the aerospace field to widen?" the blogger continued to ask.

"Wright? Wright Chen?" the white guy asked in an incredulous tone.

"Yes, it's the news that broke in the New York Times this morning. Here, take a look." The interviewer handed the page with the New York Times report to the other party.

"Oh, this is the worst news I have heard today. With Wright joining, NASA will still be the same bureaucrats. When the Chinese go to Mars, our NASA officials will still say that everything is under control when they are questioned by Congress and that we will soon land on the moon.

Why are they still going to the moon, because the moon landing is said to be 2035, but in fact I think they will postpone it to 2050. ” The white guy was a little upset.

"So what do you think America should do to narrow the gap with China?"

"Get rid of all the management at NASA and let Musk take over everything. Of course, it would be best if Wright could take over."

In the interviews conducted by the blogger on this topic, the vast majority of people shared the same opinion as the white guy, with only one black man thinking that this was a good thing, that aerospace technology should not be controlled by Americans alone, and that it was good to have Chinese people competing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we must take action to limit China's development speed in the field of science and technology. The chips of the past have failed. The chips, which have the highest requirements for the supply chain and the deepest level of segmentation, have failed. This means that the path of technological restriction is not feasible.

So we need to change our approach, which is the best approach to start from the human perspective.

The severity of the other country's aging population is no less than that of Japan or Korea. Our best solution at the moment is to grant green cards to Chinese students.

We need to weaken China's competitiveness from the root and prevent China from relying on the accumulation of science and engineering human resources to break through existing technological barriers.

Our investigation committee has conducted a detailed investigation of China's college entrance examination enrollment in the past five years. China has not only not reduced its enrollment in science and engineering, but has increased its enrollment in science and engineering majors. According to the analysis of experts from China, China's model is not the Prussian model as we understand it, but a completely new model that uses a huge industrial population to break through the technological barriers set up by existing developed countries.

According to data, China has 300 million science and engineering graduates every year. Such an engineering dividend can last for a long time, at least until the end of this century.

What China is doing now is to break down the barriers of all high-profit industries and drive prices down to zero. They not only sell products but also technology. Once the barriers are broken, what used to be cake will now become a relief meal, which will be a devastating blow to all resource-scarce developed countries that rely on high value-added industries.

Such a large group of engineers is responsible for the task of reproducing from 1 to 100. As long as a developed country has made the path clear, they will quickly invest a large number of industrial workers to make this path clear and make profits. Similarly, due to the accumulation of the base, China will also have innovative talents who have completed the task from 0 to 1, the most typical of which is Wright. Then the value accumulated by the group from 1 to 99 will be used as a reward for innovative talents.

What we need to do is not to compete with China for the industrial population from 1 to 100, but to retain the innovative talents from 0 to 1.

Every year, there are only about 30 Chinese students who can apply to American schools. If we only accept students majoring in science and engineering, then the number will be only 15.

We need to increase America's potential, reduce China's potential, and continuously create sufficiently valuable high-value-added industries in order to escape the dilemma of being overtaken by China and then losing profits.

It would be best if we could block China’s innovation channel in this way.” Regarding the issue of issuing green cards to Chinese students, a special review committee was organized on Capitol Hill.

This is a big deal for the federal government, because in the past the federal government has always advocated preventing Chinese students from coming to America to study science and engineering, and welcomes you to study liberal arts.

Now the situation has changed to: everyone is welcome, but those who study science will have to stay, and those who study liberal arts will have to go back.

That’s right, this bill only issues green cards to international students majoring in science and engineering, while those majoring in liberal arts can go back to where they came from.

Such a radical bill is naturally not easy to pass.

"Mr. Consultant, I have a question. What if Chinese students learn some cutting-edge technology and then go back to contribute to China?"

"I don't think there is any need to worry. Article 17, point 3 of the bill mentions that for some sensitive technologies, such as aerospace engineering, chip technology, artificial intelligence, etc., the other party needs to sign an agreement and find a job before applying, and then we will issue him a green card in advance."

This is similar to China's commissioned training.

"What if China tries to stop us?"

"They are blocking us because they have the means to attack the other side. In the past, the other side has always been very cunning in this regard. We lack some evidence that can really work. The other side breaks the rules of the game, so we can also break the rules of the game and unite with our allies to block exchanges."

American bills generally go through a cumbersome process from drafting to formal passage, from drafting to committee review to committee voting, and finally to voting by the Senate and the House of Representatives.

After the New York Times revealed that Chen Yuanguang might become the actual person in charge of China's aerospace industry, the bill targeting Chinese students studying abroad was passed within a week.

After the bill was passed, the biggest voices of opposition in the United States came from former Chinese immigrants. They felt that they had toiled for years and put in so much effort to get a green card, but why should Chinese science and engineering students get one?

The second group is Indians. If the Chinese are afraid of psychological imbalance, then Indians are really afraid that Chinese students will take their jobs.

On the contrary, most whites and blacks supported the bill.

"When I was in college, I worked with Chinese and Indian students. Chinese students would quietly finish the work. Even if you did nothing, they would not be able to expose you, and you could still get good grades.

Indian students will say verbally that they have finished the work, but in fact they have not even done their part. They just wait for everyone to help them do the work that originally belonged to them, and then they will brag in front of the professor about how difficult their work is.

Recruiting Chinese people is a good thing, they can help America change its current situation.”

Faced with pressure from China, America has adopted a very strange strategy. It has an Asian subdivision bill to reduce the rights and interests of native Chinese people, while for Chinese people, it has a very relaxed access policy.

I have to say that America is still attractive. Even so, after all, America has less competitive job opportunities and a halo that continues from the past.

All of a sudden, this year's senior students, who had originally planned to apply to universities in Australia or England, began to consider applying to American universities.

The first countries to be hit by America's strategy are England and Australia, two countries that regard studying abroad as a pillar industry.

For students of science and engineering, they may not necessarily stay in America, but if they go to America, there is at least a 100% chance of staying. If they go to England, except for the above-mentioned universities, the recognition of other universities for employment after returning to China is limited, and there is no way to stay. Even if they can stay, there are no good jobs in England.

The same is true in Australia.

Therefore, a very strange trend has emerged in the 2025 study abroad application. Science and engineering students are blindly applying for American universities. Even if they can go to the top 100 universities in the United States, they would rather go to the so-called top 20 universities in England.
For liberal arts students, applying to 985 universities in Oxford and Cambridge and 211 universities in G5, the English universities that were once out of their reach have once again demonstrated their flexibility.

As for the top 2 in China? Even the top 2 in China with liberal arts majors are applying for master's programs in science and engineering at American universities.

Australia is at the bottom of the study abroad contempt chain. Australian universities directly urge Australia to quickly introduce the same policy as America. Australia has a small population, so it might as well introduce a large number of Chinese students. Chinese students who can come to Australia to study have some money at home and some ability. They don't expect to develop technology by staying, but at least it will stimulate the local economy.

This is another part of America's strategy that is not explicitly stated. They can only attract about 20 Chinese students, but there are also countries such as Australia, England, New Zealand, and the Maple Leaf Country. When America chooses to issue green cards to Chinese students, other countries will follow suit even if it is to protect their own education industries.

Then the talent gap China faces is not 20, but 100 million. Given China's newborn population of less than 900 million, such a gap is enough to deal a fatal blow to China.

"The fact that America was able to launch such a strategy before it completely lost these advantages shows that the federal correction mechanism is not so rotten that it cannot function at all.

America is a naked conspiracy. Why didn't Chinese students get such treatment earlier? Because the motherland was not strong enough. Now everyone can get a green card without queuing or having an employer, as long as they have a diploma. It is also because you have a strong motherland behind you. "
