Jiang Yan Hai was still constantly refining new aircraft within the Illusion Simulation Program, mainly aircraft powered by Nuclear Power. Naturally, these were no longer meant for combat.
To be honest, combat aircraft were already sufficient. Phantom was advanced enough; to this day, the country next door had yet to solve even the first-generation Phantom Jiang Yan Hai had built, let alone the newest model.
Weapons and equipment did not need to be excessively advanced. They only needed to be advanced enough to maintain a leading, suppressive advantage over the enemy's weapons.
When both sides possessed ultimate weapons, war could not actually break out, especially not between major powers.
When war did not break out, research aimed at strengthening one's national power was obviously far more important, because it meant the country's overall strength could be enhanced even further. This was improvement at the most fundamental technological level.
Especially since there were too many things representing energy throughout the planetary system. The most basic was helium-3 on the Moon. Now that Controlled Nuclear Fusion had been solved by Jiang Yan Hai and the others, fusion using the ideal helium-3 and helium-3 reaction was essential.
Although international law stipulated that resources in space belonged to all humanity, what did such agreements and international organizations amount to? Couldn't a country withdraw whenever it wanted? The country next door withdrew from organizations as casually as going to the bathroom.
The world was much like what science fiction described. Even if it was not as brutal as the Dark Forest principle, the reality was much the same: the biggest fist was what truly mattered!
Do not think this was difficult to understand. Human nature feared all unknown things; fear came from the unknown. Why did primitive humans explore forests so cautiously? Because one careless
