Chen Feng did not stand on ceremony and went to the capital immediately.
There were two reasons why Chen Feng was so concerned about military affairs.
First, military affairs involved patriotism.
As a Chinese, patriotism came first.
Another reason was that the military was a very powerful network.
Any opportunity to get closer to the military had to be seized.
"Chen Feng, you're too kind. We could have just discussed it over the phone, why did you have to personally come all the way to the capital?"
Divisional Commander Wang of the military said sheepishly.
"Divisional Commander Wang, military matters, whether big or small, are all important to me. That's why I had to come. By the way, Divisional Commander Wang, what trouble has the military encountered this time? Is it an issue with the armed reconnaissance drones?"
Chen Feng asked instinctively.
His most frequent contact with the military was regarding armed reconnaissance drones.
Recently, two countries were at war.
Whether it was out of consideration for international relations or for profit, there was a large demand for exports of armed reconnaissance drones.
Of course, the Chinese military always acted discreetly and valued artistry, which was in line with the Chinese character of biding time and hiding strength.
During this period, China's production of armed reconnaissance drones was at full capacity.
However, China had not become involved in the war between the two countries, while most other countries had.
Therefore, China's actions were quite prudent.
"It's not about the armed reconnaissance drones. To be honest, with the full support of your chips, China's armed reconnaissance drones have always been a benchmark internationally. The problem is that one country has asked China for help with a problem, but the military's think tank has pondered it for a long time and cannot come up with a solution, feeling like it's an unsolvable problem."
Wang Lei said seriously.
"What kind of problem is so complicated?"
Chen Feng asked casually.
"It's like this, Chen Feng. That country has very advanced missiles, and it should have been able to crush the other country. China likes to see this situation. To be honest, although China has its disagreements with that country, from the perspective of countering the United States, we don't want to see that country lose. Because if that country loses, the United States' next target will be China. Therefore, if that country encounters problems in this war, China must do its best to help. The other country, with strong support from the United States, has suddenly become powerful in its air defense system. The problem for that country is that every time they launch expensive missiles, they are intercepted. It's very annoying. They are now asking us for help, how to solve this problem?"
Wang Lei asked word for word.
"Divisional Commander Wang, I understand what you mean. Simply put, the other country, with American weapons support, has an increasingly advanced anti-missile system, capable of intercepting a large number of that country's missiles. This makes that country very frustrated. It's impossible not to launch missiles; they must continue to strike the other country's ground military targets. However, on the other hand, launching missiles is also troublesome. The cost is so high, yet the results are minimal."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Chen Feng, your explanation is completely correct. To be honest, China's military think tank has thought about it for a long time and found it to be an unsolvable problem. The reason is simple: the United States' anti-missile system is the world's best, and this is an undeniable fact, with a high interception rate..."
Wang Lei replied with a dejected expression.
"Old Wang, I have a nascent idea..."
"Speak."
"Simplify complex problems. For example, in the past, the United States discovered that pens couldn't write in space and spent a lot of money to develop a space pen. However, another country simplified the problem: since pens couldn't write in space, they simply used pencils instead of pens. So, I was thinking, since the US anti-missile system is so powerful, why don't we avoid a direct confrontation..."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"You mean, persuade that country to stop bombing the other country's ground military targets with missiles?"
Wang Lei asked softly.
"Old Wang, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. What I mean is, since the US anti-missile system is so powerful, let's resort to a trick: a decoy missile technique."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Decoy missile technique? I don't understand."
Wang Lei said with a dejected expression.
"Old Wang, the decoy missile technique is actually very simple. It means that each time that country launches a dozen missiles, only two are real, and the rest are decoys, with only a booster and no expensive warhead, nor a complex and expensive guidance system. This way, decoy missiles are very cheap, costing only tens of thousands of yuan, much cheaper than those real missiles costing millions. If this is done, the other country and the United States will be in a bind. If they intercept, using expensive interceptor missiles to counter decoy missiles is terrifyingly cost-ineffective. If they don't intercept, and the real warheads land, they'll also be in a difficult situation."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"..."
Wang Lei was silent for a long time, astonished.
Chen Feng's mind was too brilliant! The military's think tank had pondered for so long and couldn't come up with a good solution, yet Chen Feng had resolved it with such ease.
It was simply amazing.
"Old Wang, what do you think of my idea?"
Chen Feng asked confidently.
"One word: brilliant. However, it would be even more perfect if a small problem could be solved."
Wang Lei remarked with emotion.
"What small problem?"
Chen Feng asked.
"Help that country reduce the cost of the bombs further. A decoy missile costing tens of thousands of yuan is not a big problem for China. But for that country, it is still a considerable economic burden."
Wang Lei stated truthfully.
"Hmm, let me think about how to reduce the cost of decoy missiles..."
Chen Feng pondered.
Wang Lei did not rush Chen Feng. This was a problem that the military's think tank had pondered for so long without finding a good solution, so there was no way to expect Chen Feng to figure it out instantly.
After about ten minutes, Chen Feng's eyes lit up.
"Got it. We can change the material of the decoy missiles from good steel to inferior steel."
"That's a good idea. But why not just replace the decoy missiles with plastic?"
Wang Lei asked, thinking further.
"Old Wang, your idea is good. But it's not practical. Plastic materials cannot withstand high speeds and high pressure at all. Missiles are not drones; they have speed requirements. Decoy missiles must have the same speed as real missiles, otherwise, they can be easily detected."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
He was from a science background, so he had this basic scientific common sense.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Wang Lei could only give an awkward smile.
In terms of comprehensive ability, Chen Feng was truly formidable.
"Chen Feng, since you've come to the capital and the matter is resolved, why not stay for a few days?"
Wang Lei said sincerely.
"Old Wang, strictly speaking, your invitation is an honor. However, aren't the military always by-the-book and serious? What would I do for entertainment in the military?"
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
"Chen Feng, you have a great misconception about the military. In fact, the military is not as rigid and humorless as you imagine. Actually, entertainment in the military also has its own unique charm..."
Wang Lei said with a knowing smile.
