Lin Beauty's request was neither too demanding nor too modest. "Draw their attention away from the Gold Standard... exactly what you're thinking—the Plasma Cannon project."
Wasn't it the Thunderstone project we talked about last time? Feng Jun really wanted to complain. We even gave away a Thunderstone to be detonated.
But after thinking it over, he understood. The Thunderstone project really was a massive pitfall—far too surreal. How could such a tiny stone contain so much energy?
Not to mention the current Blue Star Realm, even the technology of the Insectoid World's scientific side could not analyze this phenomenon.
So, upon careful consideration, throwing out the Thunderstone would certainly be shocking enough. But because there was no basic theory or research path to follow, it felt more like a smokescreen.
But the Plasma Cannon was different. It sounded somewhat science-fictional, yet it had always had theoretical support. Some had even claimed to have developed it already—this was no joke; it was quite possibly true.
So-called strategic deception had to at least leave people unsure whether it was real or fake. Something completely impossible was just a bluff.
What Lin Beauty meant was, "Our Plasma Cannon technology has already attracted Mairui Country's attention. During the previous test firings... observers from a few friendly countries were invited, so the news cannot necessarily be controlled."
What did she mean, "cannot necessarily be controlled"? This was clearly a display of military strength, wasn't it?
But methods like this could achieve a balancing effect. Keeping everything hidden was not necessarily the best choice.
All warfare was based on deception. Mixing truth and falsehood was the proper way.
Feng Jun understood all that, but he did not think he was qualified to be a strategist. In fact, he did not want to hear such details—they would
