This is a case of "a single move affects the whole situation," meaning that just because I developed a new super fuel doesn't mean the other side can use it immediately.

The overall solution, including hydrogen fuel cells, also requires modifications to the building block to adapt it to the technology.
In 2039, both America and China built small bases on Mars.
China has three astronauts working on Mars year-round, while America has five astronauts.
The bases chosen by both sides are located very close to each other, or rather, very close in terms of distance as defined by Earth.
In the 1920s, America attempted to completely lock down the development ceiling of China's technology industry through the silicon screen, that is, the semiconductor industry.
Not only are they withdrawing themselves, but they also want to bring together Korea, Japan, and Taiwan to form an alliance called the chip alliance.
The gist of it is: don't do business with China, and I will compensate you for part of your losses through policy subsidies.
American semiconductor companies in China have withdrawn from the country one after another. In just three years, they have basically withdrawn from both production and research and development.
Take Marvell as an example. The American semiconductor company, whose Chinese name is 美满电子 (Meiman Electronics), was founded by three overseas Chinese.
Therefore, after entering the Chinese market in its early years, it established R&D centers in Shanghai and Chengdu respectively.
It made a huge contribution to China's semiconductor industry and is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the development of China's semiconductor industry.
This support goes beyond simply providing jobs and training talent; it also includes support for semiconductor development.
After China proposed the 3rd generation communication technology TD-SCDMA, it desperately needed the support of supporting industries, but most internationally renowned semiconductor companies were not optimistic about it and did not follow up with technology cooperation.
However, Marvell actively supported China Mobile and played a key role in the early stages of promoting the TD 3G industry.
Even major manufacturers that support the development of China's semiconductor industry were forced by policy pressure to cut most of their R&D operations in China in 2022.
Most people believe that the beginning of the decline of the chip industry was in 2018, but it was actually determined in 2014.
After China released its semiconductor development outline in 2014, which clearly stated the need to increase the self-sufficiency rate of chips and reduce the proportion of imported chips, America's move was entirely within China's expectations.
However, China did not anticipate that America would suffer heavy losses, even at the cost of eight hundred of its own.
Because once I lock you in, I can sell you semiconductor products, technology and services and make up for all the losses I suffered before.
This plan failed after China achieved full domestic production of 14nm chips.
Not to mention that by 2039, the semiconductor industry in China and the semiconductor industry in America will only have a slight technological gap left.
This difference, in the competition between giants, is enough to prove the failure of the Chipscreen Project back then.
Now, the arena of competition between the two sides is not in China, but in space.
Whoever can utilize space first will hold the power of discourse for a long time to come.
Even though China had taken the best location for a lunar space station, America still found another location and built its own lunar space station and lunar base.
Currently, space is in a three-way balance of power: China, America, and the Europa Union, all of which have research bases and rocket launch sites on the moon.
Then China and America have small bases on Mars, and as for the Europa Union, they also successfully landed on Mars in 2039.
However, only two astronauts landed on Mars, sharing a Mars base with America.
"We need to take a long-term view. China has actually undergone many changes in recent years."
The competition between us and China will not be decided so quickly.
This is a dialogue between the American think tank team when they were developing their future strategy in 2035.
“Every place is also fertile ground for populism, presenting different choices on welfare.”
In recent years, China has been consciously making changes, curbing the rise of internal nationalism while simultaneously increasing welfare benefits for the lower and middle classes.
"So, China isn't actually special?"
"Others may not understand, but don't we? The 'China is special' theory was fabricated by the media to confuse the public."
In fact, countries that have experienced rapid economic growth and achieved a certain level of industrialization in modern times all share a common characteristic.
That is, during their industrialization process, they maintained a certain degree of long-term social order and stability.
Even in democratic societies, at this stage, the alternation of political parties stagnates.
For example, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party has been in power for over forty years.
The same applies to other parts of Asia.
The economic foundations of emerging markets, including Brazil, Thailand, and Turkey, were laid during the authoritarian era.
Have you ever considered whether this is the effect or the cause?
During the process of industrialization, the economy will show a continuous upward trend, and people will have a relatively obvious perception that their quality of life is improving.
Given this perception, is it true that the alternation of political parties has stalled? It's because the actual economic changes stemmed from industrialization, but they attributed the credit to the ruling party at the time.
So, should the ruling party continue to govern?
"The problem is that it is only in countries and regions with truly mature democratic systems that their economies have moved beyond the era of basic industrialization and entered a more prosperous stage of technological development and cultural markets."
