台海戰爭爆發，誰是贏家？這是現代化武器的殺戮戰這是一場不應發生的戰爭這是一場沒有贏家的戰爭台海局勢緊張，武力統一台灣的造勢行動逐步昇級，國際評論列台海地區為最可能發生戰爭的地區！現在是2021年初夏，真正的戰火未打響，筆作以阻止和防止這場戰爭發生的觀念，用〈天魔弄世〉這樣虛幻的書名寫成這本書，書中把"武統"分作四方面的戰略與政策：1.跨海攻台。2.經濟封鎖。3.組織島民眾推翻政府。4.改變政策和平統一。本書將那些血雨腥風的軍事與政治鬥爭演繹成小説故事，希望當權者有所啟發，普通人民有所知情。"武統"從字面的解譯就是以武力去收拾對方，但其實，武統就是內戰。在導彈和各種新式遠程，精準武器的發展中，雙方都一定會同樣受到軍事和政治經濟上的打擊的，戰雲再起，一定不是金門砲戰的翻版，重量級大規模的殺傷，和破壞性武器會延伸到雙方踪深地帶，軍士集結戰術，用在今日的台海戰爭上有些不合時宜了。本書是以説故事的方式呈現讀者，如書中的幻影戰術...

The book is an authoritative introductory work on electroslag remelting technology for high-quality special steels. It comprises 9 chapters that cover the electroslag remelting technology and propose two innovative process theories. The first is the cleanliness control theory with invariable process parameters, and the second is the homogenization solidification theory of shallow molten pool at ultrafast cooling and optimal melting speeds, both of which were developed by the authors....
