Pillars of a Great Power: I Broke Through the Military Industry Blockade with Translation

In his previous life, he was a military-industry translator who watched aircraft carriers drive off research vessels and fighter jets swagger at the edge of his country’s airspace. As he lay dying, he even heard experts from the Blue Star hegemon, the Merui Empire, boast, “Huaguo won’t catch up with us for fifty years!” In this life, he is reborn in 1978, back in an era when his nation’s backbone had been bent beneath the pressure. The Merui Empire has just announced a total military-industrial embargo on Huaguo! Facing a suffocating blockade, he grips three sharp blades: “foreign-language translation,” “memories of his previous life,” and “relentless scientific research.” With a sea of blood-deep hatred as his whetstone, he vows to plant the five-star red flag at the peak of the world’s military industry! He gives up his secure job back in the city and translates a long-forgotten document, uncovering a “wing-structure fatigue flaw” in the Merui F-15. He gives domestic fighter jets wings to soar! The Merui Empire embargoes radar materials? He digs a substitute formula out of failed experiment records and uses domestic graphite powder to make a rudimentary stealth coating, face-slapping the Merui Defense Department! Merui tries to corner him by registering patents? He pulls out annotations from a translation draft he made three years earlier, turning their patent into scrap paper. Then he counters with “superior technology” that leaves Merui’s early-warning aircraft blind! From the J-10 dominating the skies five years ahead of schedule to the Type 055 destroyer surpassing the Arleigh Burke; from the J-20 shattering the F-22 legend to Dongfeng Express rendering THAAD useless… This is the story of using the hegemon’s technological flaws to smash its hegemony with his own hands! This is a revenge story about a man whose wife and daughter go from “being afraid of Merui planes” to watching domestic carrier fleets keep the enemy from daring to approach! When the Merui Empire goes from arrogance to shock, panic, and finally trembling as it begs for “technology sharing,” Zhao Yuan smiles.
