009: Restraint and Conditions

Beam weapons. When people hear about these, the first thing that comes to mind is the lightsabers from Star Wars.

This is a direction for future weapon development.

And then there are electromagnetic weapons. These two are truly devastating, and they're environmentally friendly devastating weapons at that!

"Yes, no matter what type of armor it is, beam weapons or particle weapons are their ultimate counter.

This is also one of the reasons I've eliminated aircraft and tanks. Only beam-type weapons or particle weapons can damage Gundam's special armor."

He paused, looking at them curiously, and asked, "You don't actually think that with Gundams, you're invincible, do you?

There are definitely corresponding countermeasures!

Of course, beam weapons or particle weapons also have targeted defenses.

But as far as I know, these defenses don't include physical layer defenses. They either use special anti-beam defense layers or particle shields, and so on."

Guo Yi explained seriously to the elders, "So, dealing with Gundams is simple. Either deplete their energy, or damage them at the molecular level.

For example, the variable phase-shift armor you saw earlier.

If its attack size is smaller than the 'phase' at a nanoscale (colloidal) level, the 'phase' cannot decompose and absorb the kinetic energy of the attack...

And the so-called Gundanium Alloy, which is Gundanium Alloy Gamma's subsequent alloy, is also helpless against beam-type weapons or particle weapons.

So, building turret-type weapons at strategic points can still defend against Gundam invasions."

"Then won't kinetic weapons be eliminated?"

He Zhijun asked with a frown, his voice deep.

After all, due to historical reasons, the country has a considerable reserve of physical weapons, and that's money!

"How should I put it, large-scale battles definitely won't require many of these weapons," Guo Yi shrugged and explained, "But in wars between people, bullets are still effective tools for reaping lives.

As for dealing with Gundams~

Missiles can still be used to deplete a Gundam's energy and restrict its movement. As for other small guns and cannons, forget it...

Unless those Gundams are specifically designed to defend against beam or particle weapons.

Then physical projectiles become their counter, though they must be of RPG specifications or higher to be effective..."

Guo Yi swallowed and continued, "As for space battleships... if I had started researching them from the beginning, how much space would I have needed?

Given the space and materials required for Gundams, hiding this until now is a testament to my capabilities, alright!

So, can I research and manufacture space battleships?

Am I the fool, or are you?"

After speaking, Guo Yi rolled his eyes at Section Chief Zhou and complained, "If I could create a space battleship right under your noses, I think you could all commit suicide!"

For a moment, everyone quietly ate their meals, no longer discussing the discovery of Guo Yi, and began to digest the information in his words.

Knowledge appearing out of thin air?

This is a matter of opinion. For everyone, and even for those higher up, as long as it's confirmed that Guo Yi can indeed produce good things that benefit the country and its people, the source of these things is a minor issue, negligible.

As for whether it's alien technology, if they spend enough time together, they'll naturally be able to find out.

And for other sources, they wouldn't possibly slaughter the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Not to mention whether they could even slaughter it, if they did and found nothing, it would truly be a case of losing the wife and the soldiers, and it would be irrecoverable.

And space battleships, it's clear that Guo Yi can make them!

After all, the information he provided was about the issues of space and concealment, not impossibility.

"So you have all the complete data for battleships? And you can build them?"

Section Chief Zhou looked up, his brow furrowed, and asked sternly, "If you had the materials and the space, how long would it take you to produce an experimental space battleship?"

This time, Guo Yi frowned and said with some hesitation, "Firstly, knowing something and being able to build it are two different things.

That's right, I have all the complete data, even the framework blueprints.

But you ask me about time, how would I know?

I've never actually made one, so who knows what the difficulties are, or what needs fine-tuning...

Secondly, you don't think that with battleships, you won't need Gundams anymore, do you?"

"The firepower of a battleship is completely incomparable to a Gundam, why would we still need them?"

"I can guess that," He Zhijun, who had been a silent listener, spoke up. "For example, a battleship is like a tank, and a Gundam is like a regular soldier.

Infantry-armor cooperation is the complete form of warfare. Without tanks, the assault capability is missing, and without soldiers, the protective element is missing.

After all, there are ways to deal with tanks!

Not to mention in urban warfare, where tanks are limited by the environment and are not as useful as people."

After He Zhijun finished, everyone looked at Guo Yi. "Yes, Old He is right.

The firepower and everything else about battleships are indeed superior to Gundams.

But battleships always have blind spots, and these are where Gundams are needed."

Similarly, a Gundam's firepower, once it breaks through a battleship's firing line, can deliver a fatal blow with a single strike.

Much like an aircraft carrier, it can be equipped with various aircraft for attack, but it requires escort ships, anti-submarine vessels, and other support ships to be effective.

Otherwise, any submarine could take down an aircraft carrier with it, making the cost outweigh the benefit."

Section Chief Zhou nodded and finally asked, "Do you have any special requests for me to relay?"

"I'll need to move house later?" Guo Yi thought for a moment and asked Section Chief Zhou.

"There's a high probability that you will," replied the two elders, who had more say in these matters. "After all, the transportation here isn't very good, and you have too few staff.

So you'll need to go somewhere more suitable, allowing you to work with a freer hand.

Not to mention, you also said you can build space battleships!"

Section Chief Zhou also nodded and said, "After all, these things of yours are contraband. You need manpower, more space, and even more importantly, special security measures.

Moving locations is very necessary."

Guo Yi thought for a moment and asked, "If you can't break through or infiltrate, will other places be safer?"

"..."

Except for the two elders, everyone else felt an instant stab in their hearts upon hearing Guo Yi's words.

It seemed to be true...

Never mind before, but now they pretty much knew Guo Yi's background and his importance.

In such a situation, if people from other countries could still attack Guo Yi with weapons of mass destruction, they might as well just slit their own throats right there and then; they'd have no face left to see anyone.

"Forget it~" Guo Yi looked at the miserable-looking Section Chief Zhou and sneered dismissively. "Doggy, bring up the design blueprints for Laboratory No. 0."

He then said to He Zhijun, "If we're moving, you need to build a laboratory according to my blueprints first. Otherwise, if I move without these things, I won't be able to conduct my research.

Also, my projects are my decision, and no one else is allowed to interfere!

When you arrange for personnel to come over, anyone who doesn't follow orders or that I'm not satisfied with will be kicked out!"

"Understood."

"Give me the raw materials I listed. I don't want to keep buying from K2 anymore!"

"You don't have to worry about that. Whatever you list, the people upstairs can immediately transport it to you!"

Elder Zhou nodded and promised.

"Anything else?" Section Chief Zhou also nodded.

Guo Yi didn't need to specifically state these things; anyone with a functioning brain would know what to do.

"Then, I want to go on a date with Teacher Yoshizawa!"

"Who?"

"A female action film performer from a certain country's special films!"

He Zhijun's mouth twitched. "Dream on!"

"Then Section Chief Zhou must dance!"

"Alright!"

The two elders and He Zhijun readily agreed on behalf of Section Chief Zhou.

Hearing Guo Yi's last request, Section Chief Zhou was utterly bewildered by the elders and He Zhijun speaking in unison: ???

What the heck was with the dancing?

After taking the food, why did he feel like there was a malicious intent surrounding him!
