While the opponent was busy dealing with the matter in Yindu, Ye Zhou finally ended the long talk with Chen Hao.

He finally had a complete understanding of the game between the two countries around food.

This is not an entanglement between conspiracy and intrigue, but a hedge between open conspiracy and open conspiracy. In fact, from an objective perspective, neither side has lost the courage that a great power should have.

China's opponents are strategizing, planning all over the world, and making plans far into the future, with opportunities changing; while China itself is based on the foundation, making steady progress, and is not skillful.

If we do not consider the differences in positions, this hedging can indeed be regarded as a peak in the history of human struggle.

In fact, this struggle was indeed the last struggle before the final large-scale appeal to force.

No matter which side fails, further escalation of the situation is inevitable.

To avoid such an upgrade, China's only opportunity is in the Six-Nose Project.

Time is the most important thing.

Now, there are two months left before the end of the gene editing rice production increase project. If good news cannot be heard from Kunlun Mountain in these two months, then waiting for you will be an extremely difficult time.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou felt a deep sense of crisis.

Chen Hao, who was standing beside him, seemed to see what he was thinking. He silently poured Ye Zhou a cup of tea, and then asked:

"Did you find out the key to things?"

Ye Zhou nodded, not knowing how to answer for a while.

This is unprecedented pressure, and the weight of this pressure is even far greater than that time when I was still in the sea blue.

Because no matter how anxious I was at that time, I still had a bottom-line judgment in my heart, that is, it was difficult for a large-scale hot war to break out, because the balance of power between the two sides was still not evenly matched.

But now, the situation has changed completely.

As long as you move, you will inevitably fight to the end.

Chen Hao pushed the cup towards Ye Zhou, signaling him to drink tea and calm down first. Then he stood up on his own, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and opened the black-shaded curtains.

The sunlight immediately filled the entire living room. Chen Hao walked to the table again, patted Ye Zhou on the shoulder, and signaled him to follow him.

Ye Zhou stood up in confusion and asked:

“Where to go?”

Chen Hao said without looking back:

"Take you to bask in the sun."

Ye Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

Ye Zhou’s current residence is actually in a base in a military district. After leaving, the two walked out along the roads in the residential area, passed through the barracks, the playground, and passed through several buildings with different functions, and finally arrived near the training ground.

It was 11 a.m. The day's training was at its peak. The two found a seat on the edge of the training ground and sat down. Looking at the recruits running on the training ground, they were speechless.

After a long time, Chen Hao asked:

"Do you have a feeling that the future of our country is pressing on you alone, or on a project?"

Ye Zhou was stunned and asked:

"Isn't it?"

In his opinion, the battle surrounding food initiated by the Chou Kingdom will definitely be defeated. With the blessing of gene editing technology, increasing food production has become a destined future. It is obvious that the global production cuts planned by the other party will not be possible.

However, the other party has paid a huge price to achieve this goal, including but not limited to a series of factors such as monetary credit, capital, alliance influence, military influence, etc. If it fails, the prices already paid will lose their meaning.

This is a huge loss, and they must find a way to make up for it--no matter what it is.

If one side wants to curb the other side's madness, there is only one choice, that is, to use some overwhelming advantage to lock in the results in advance, and to make the other side clearly aware of this result.

Nuclear threats are an extremely effective means, but the problem is that such threats are also in the hands of the other party.

No one is willing to choose the ending of death together, so RSA decryption has become the only option that can replace nuclear threats at this stage.

If you continue to reason according to this logic, there seems to be nothing wrong with saying that the fate of the entire country is pressing on one project and on one person.

However, after hearing Ye Zhou's rhetoric, Chen Hao laughed helplessly.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath before answering:

"So I keep saying that you are still not involved in our overall situation - you are too focused on the technology field, which is a good thing in the short term because you can get the most results with the highest efficiency."

"But in the long run, this way of working will crush you."

"Just like what you answered me now, the fate of the entire country depends on you alone. Think about it yourself, is this possible?"

"Don't say you're alone. With such a big country and such a huge organization, will our destiny be determined by a small six-nosed project?"

"Do you know what your thinking is called?"

Ye Zhou frowned and replied:

"Individual heroism?"

Chen Hao laughed and replied:

"Wrong is opportunism. Blind action, equipment first, great joy in merit, seeking speed and completeness... These are all manifestations of opportunism--of course, you have not yet developed to this level, but you do take something or a certain technology too important."

"Is the six-nosed project important? It is undeniable, it is very important."

"But will it be our only support? Will it be our only trump card to check and balance the enemy and prevent the enemy from taking action against us?"

"Obviously not."

"I know what you want to say. What you want to say is that what we need is not a way of fighting with one another. What we need is a means to curb the other party with the minimum casualties and the minimum cost, right?"

Ye Zhou nodded, his eyes full of doubt.

The man around him was full of confidence and seemed to be unworried about this possible war, but where did his confidence come from?

Ye Zhou couldn't figure it out.

In his opinion, nothing can end the war more effectively than RSA decryption, because it is the only means to contain it in the cradle without actually taking place in the war.

"That's my problem. The question is, how do we do this?"

Chen Hao, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said:

"You still don't understand. Tell me, what is the essence of war?"

Ye Zhou frowned, and after a moment, he replied in a low tone:

"I don't know why you brought me here, but if you want to say that the essence of war is human and our trump card is these soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice, then I want to say that you think about war too simply and too frivolous."

"Wars will die, and they must be filled with real lives one by one. If one day they really fight, the living lives in front of us will become bones buried under the soil."

"I can't face this result calmly, which is why I want to emphasize the importance of the six-nosed project---If we can defeat others without fighting, who is willing to truly give up our lives?"

"What's more, even if they give their lives, they are likely to not be able to get a real good ending."

"A conventional war between two superpowers will surely turn into a thermonuclear war until the end, unless one party can quickly end the conventional war with an overwhelming advantage, and obviously, for us now, this is impossible."

Chen Hao nodded slightly and replied:

"We really can't do it. But have you ever thought about what if we don't need to do this?"

"What if we were to do is neither a quick end to conventional wars nor a nuclear deterrence?"

"I ask you what the essence of war is, not asking you, 'How can you win', but asking you, 'What will the winner get after winning'."

"This question is actually easy to answer, and it can even be summarized in one word: means of production."

"The essence of all war is to fight for the means of production."

"The most basic carrier of means of production is land."

"This is why nuclear deterrence is regarded as the strongest and ultimate deterrent, because this deterrence is not only staggeringly destructive to living forces, but also staggeringly destructive to means of production and land resources."

"So based on this logic, we can draw a conclusion that the essence of war is to compete for the means of production, and the essence of ending war is to the extinction of the possibility of obtaining the means of production."

"Then, we can continue to reason very easily: Is there really only two options for the way to eliminate this possibility? "

"Obviously more than that, because guerrilla warfare, street fighting and rural surrounds the city are typical solutions."

"And, after technology has developed to its current level, we have emerged other deterrences that can also invalidate the means of production in a short time and sacrifice less for personnel."

"Imagine, if one day your enemy is attacking you, or even occupying your territory, suddenly realize that the more he occupies, the more he loses, and only we can reverse this loss, will he continue this war?"

Looking at Ye Zhou's expression, Chen Hao smiled and said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the home change tactics, that's too low."

"What I'm talking about is a direct blow to the enemy's productivity."

"What is the way to hit productivity?"

Ye Zhou asked in shock.

"Many, some are dirty, some are more positive, but at present, the one with the strongest deterrence is...climate."
