The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Smith King said to Li Gewen: "Mr. Li, please ask Mr. Wang if he is willing to meet with me to talk?"

"I believe I can convince him to buy the LM2500 gas turbine."

Li Gewen said calmly: "Don't waste your energy."

"Even if you have the chance to meet him, he will never agree to buy your LM2500."

"Besides, your behavior is very abnormal."

"You were determined to stop exporting this gas turbine to us from the beginning."

“Then, all of a sudden, you become enthusiastic and proactive.”

"It's inevitable that people will suspect that you have some unspeakable secret."

Li Gewen is also a very straightforward person, and what he says is also very straightforward.

This sentence choked Smith King so much that he didn't know what to say next.

"I really don't know why you have such doubts. We, Squid, have always regarded you as a good partner."

"We have given you a lot of support in your monkey-hunting operation."

"I thought we had forgotten our differences and could continue to be friendly forever."

"I didn't expect you to doubt our good intentions. Isn't this incredible?"

Smithkin acted very aggrieved. Smithkin tried hard to use several idioms and pretended to be hurt.

Li Gewen smiled and said, "Mr. Smith King, you really have a talent for acting."

"Okay, I think we should stop wasting each other's time."

After saying that, Li Gewen hung up the phone.

Smithkin shook his head helplessly and cursed "Fuck".

He knew that it was no longer possible to stop Longguo from developing its own gas turbines, or even to delay Longguo's independent shipbuilding plan.

However, he still felt that even if Long received the three large ships from the Big Bear, or even had an aircraft carrier, it would not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Compared with Long and Yusa, the naval force is even weaker.

Squid's navy is a global navy.

There are more than a dozen nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and hundreds of bases around the world. They crisscross the world's oceans and control all the key shipping routes.

However, they can't dominate the ocean alone, because there are still bears.

The Bears' navy was a little worse than them.

But it is also a truly global navy.

Moreover, Xiong vigorously develops nuclear submarines and deploys them in front of and around Yusa's home all year round.

That was a real threat.

Originally, Long had already sided with Squid, which allowed Squid to accumulate more advantages.

But now, everything is back to normal.

The most terrible thing is that the bears seem to have recovered from the slump of the previous two years.

What a big head!
Smith-King is not actually a GM employee.

He is just an AIC employee under the GM banner.

He was sent to actively promote the LM gas turbine business, partly to restore some relationship with Long.

Secondly, he wanted to do something bad and sow discord between the bear and the dragon.

However, he was going to return empty-handed.

he is very angry.

That evening, Smith King called the headquarters from the consulate in Shanghai and reported the relevant situation.

After hearing the report, Pete, the head of AIC headquarters, was also very angry.

He felt that he had already extended an olive branch and taken the initiative to show goodwill, but the other party did not appreciate it at all and flatly refused to cooperate?
Isn't this too disrespectful?

Pete immediately called the chief to ask for instructions: teach the dragon a lesson.

The chieftain hesitated for a long time and said, "Don't act rashly!"

"Our main opponent now is still the bear!"

"Their threat to us is the most important."

"Well! But if we don't show any sign of support, it won't work!"

"Well, give them a little hallucination warning!"

"Get two EC130s and make some noise for them! Let them know how powerful we are!"

At this time, the leader of Squid has been replaced by an actor.

This actor is also very good at bluffing.

Planned a war for the planet of the apes.

Maybe they really want to carry out this grand plan.

But, to be honest, they simply don't have that ability.

However, in the previous life, the bear was really frightened by them and followed them in a hurry.

The exhausted bear exhausted the last bit of its strength, which led to the final crisis.

EC130, the world's best electronic warfare aircraft in the 1980s.

It even often plays tricks on the bear, making it run around in circles.

At the order from the chief, two EC130s took off from the basin base and headed straight for the dragon's sea area.

However, what they didn't know was that as soon as they made a move, the large phased array on Long's side captured the information.

In fact, the electronic warfare strategies used by aircraft like the EC130 are only of the first generation.

The electromagnetic smokescreen they released could not deceive the powerful phased array at all.

Long immediately became alert.

Immediately, two J-10 fighters equipped with electronic warfare pods took off.

The two 3C130s were flying forward in a swaggering manner, when suddenly, an alarm sounded on their radar screens.

There were actually several air-to-air missiles fired at them.

The two pilots were almost scared to death.

They quickly turned around and fled in a panic.

However, the radar alarm continued to sound loudly, and the missiles behind were almost chasing closely.

No matter how they tried to get rid of it, or released strips of aluminum foil, it was useless!

At this time, it was already late at night.

It was pitch dark.

The wind on the sea was quite strong.

The two EC130s panicked and their radars became completely useless.

As they were flying, they collided in the air about ten kilometers away from the base.

"Boom!"

Huge fireworks exploded in the air.

Two EC130s, which were said to be the most advanced, were destroyed.

The news soon reached the leader of the troupes.

The actor was horrified: "No way?"

"That's our most advanced equipment! How could it collide with each other and explode?"

Peter stood in front of the actor, his face full of sorrow, and said, "Chief, this is an accident."

"Perhaps, it was because of too little training that the accident happened."

"Now, the news has spread like wildfire."

"It's really heartbreaking."

The actor waved his hand impatiently and said, "It was just a small thing for them to do, but they turned out to be such a joke!"

Pete said, "Captain, the black boxes of the two EC130s have been found."

"You know what? They are most likely being disrupted by the electromagnetic illusion created by the other party! Their radars have also been destroyed by the electromagnetic signals."

"This is the most terrifying thing..."

The actor was surprised. He widened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

Pete said: "It is very likely that the dragon also has a more powerful electromagnetic interference device."

"We've suffered losses before. But we never took it to heart." The actor was a little unconvinced: "Are their electromagnetic warfare technology better than ours?"

"This, how is this possible?"

Pete sighed and said, "But the facts are right in front of us."

"They have far surpassed us in chip technology, computer fields, and many electronic product fields."

"They are no longer as poor and backward as we imagined."

The actor stood up from his chair.

He paced back and forth in the office, feeling a slight pain in his head.

Because he suddenly realized that although Squidward might still be strong on paper, it was already lagging behind in key electronic technology.

And electronic technology, according to the collective advice of scientists, will be the general trend leading the future.

“That’s terrible!”

"If we can't regain our advantage in electronic technology, we will have no future!"

"If we allow the current trend to continue, we will lose our advantages in all areas and we will be abandoned by our partners!"

"Our future situation is going to be very tragic."

"Mr. Pete, you need to intensify your actions against the dragons!"

"See if we can get their leading technology!"

The actor made a gesture as if to grab something.

Peter smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, "We have tried to infiltrate and establish an organization in Long many times before."

"But every time, it was quickly cracked."

“And there are a lot of people who have been caught.”

"But even so, we will continue to act."

"Chief, my advice is this: We must continue to embrace the dragons! We must continue to sing the praises of friendship to them."

"We need to cultivate more opponents within their ranks and influence them little by little."

"Allowing the dragon and the bear to get close is our biggest mistake in recent years!"

"To sum it up, we were a little too impatient. We always thought we could get rid of the dragon in a short time."

The actor nodded and said, "You are right. We were indeed a little too eager in the past."

"So much so that they began to doubt us."

"My idea is to invite more of their influential intellectuals, scientists, and famous writers to visit us for further study."

"I think writers are probably the most suitable candidates to be conquered, followed by university teachers."

"We need to attract them with international awards, publication of articles in top academic journals, etc., so that they will serve us obediently."

"Given time, their intellectual elites will all be on our side."

"Well! Let's get our friends like Foot Basin to take action as well."

Peter smiled and gave a thumbs up: "You said it very well."

"I think that's what we should do."

……

After Wang Haoran left the Magic City, he went to Dalian again.

Dalian Shipyard is an important support for the five-year shipbuilding plan.

There is a deep-water port here and rich experience in shipbuilding. Almost all of China's important warships are manufactured here, including the 051 destroyer.

However, building an aircraft carrier is not an easy task.

That requires getting the aircraft carrier dry dock ready first.

Building an aircraft carrier dry dock is a technical job.

Because such a large dock needs to be built on the seashore, with a depth of 14 meters. The groundwater level on the seashore is very shallow, so if you want to build a large dock on the seashore, you must first solve the problem of seepage interception and dock drainage.

In addition, we need to solve the problem of large-scale construction facilities. For example, building aircraft carriers and large ships cannot be separated from large gantry cranes.

After the aircraft carrier is built, it needs to be outfitted. Outfitting is also a very important link and requires a high-standard outfitting dock.

After Wang Haoran arrived at Dalian, he found that the work here was already in full swing.

Feng Xiang, the director of Dalian Shipyard, accompanied Wang Haoran to the construction site of the aircraft carrier dry dock.

Here, there are thousands of people working hard on the construction.

Everything on the construction site is orderly and well-organized.

"Comrade Haoran, we are carrying out the construction completely according to your suggested plan."

"It went quite smoothly! The water seepage problem that was difficult to solve before has been basically solved."

“It is expected that this large dock will be completed in two months at most.”

"Of course, if a cold wave arrives a few days later and the weather becomes freezing cold, the construction conditions will become bad, and we may need to stop work."

"This is also the main reason why we are rushing to build the main framework as soon as possible."

Feng Xiang introduced to Wang Haoran the progress of his work on building the aircraft carrier dry dock.

Wang Haoran checked the quality of the project and nodded repeatedly: the quality of the project is very good.

It is not easy to achieve the current progress in such a short time.

At the very least, it is much more efficient than the Shanghai Shipyard.

Feng Xiang accompanied Wang Haoran to inspect the progress of the renovation of the outfitting dock, and the progress here was also quite fast.

In short, all work at Dalian Shipyard is progressing quite well.

They were obviously preparing seriously.

After the visit, Wang Haoran, Feng Xiang and other management and technical personnel of Dalian Shipyard held a symposium.

At the meeting, Wang Haoran gave them a suggestion: while doing a good job in naval ship construction, they should also actively tackle high-value civilian ships, such as ultra-large container ships, LNG ships, chemical tankers, cruise ships, etc.

Wang Haoran smiled and said: "The market for high-value large civilian ships is a piece of fat meat!"

"Today, the world's total market value of large transport ships is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars each year."

"Among them, foot basins account for about 50 percent of the world share, and sticks account for about 20 percent."

"In recent years, our country's foreign trade imports and exports have increased rapidly, and the demand for shipping is strong. We must seize this opportunity to rapidly develop our civilian shipbuilding industry."

Feng Xiang nodded and said, "Comrade Haoran is right. We do have great deficiencies in the construction technology of high-value transport ships."

"We can only accept some bulk carrier orders now. These ships are of low value and low technical content. Competition is fierce and prices are very low. We almost lose money on every ship we take."

At the end of his speech, Feng Xiang's voice became a little low.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We are not in a hurry. We just need to organize technical personnel to speed up the research."

"Yes! If there is anything you need my help with, just let me know."

Ke Yunlu, chief engineer of Dalian Shipyard, said at this time: "We have received an order from our country's shipping company to build two oil tankers."

"However, we do not have the technology to manufacture oil tankers now, and we cannot guarantee the quality and quantity and complete the project on time."

"The owner, Longguo International Shipping Company, now suggests that we introduce relevant technical authorization from the foot basin."

“But the foot basin company refused to transfer the technology and instead proposed cooperative construction.”

Wang Haoran raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How do they want to cooperate?"

Ke Yunlu said: "In the joint venture shipyard, they hold the controlling stake. During the construction process, they are in charge of all technical guidance, and we carry out the construction under their guidance."

"The equity they demanded was more than 60 percent."

"And the material costs and so on are all borne by us."

Wang Haoran asked: "Have you agreed?"

Feng Xiang shook his head and said, "We didn't agree."

"Because, with this kind of cooperation, we can't get the other party's technology, which means that all the profits are taken away by them. We work hard and pay costs, but we still lose money."

Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "The foot basin guy is quite sinister!"

"They probably saw the strong demand for our ocean shipping vessels and wanted to take our orders."

"But we have our own regulations that we must give priority to domestic shipbuilding orders. When they see that it is not easy to get a large number of shipbuilding orders directly, they use joint ventures to maximize our profits."

Ke Yunlu nodded: "That's indeed their plan."

"But the current situation is that if we don't cooperate with them, we won't be able to fulfill the contract on time, which is the most difficult thing."

"Right now, the people from Mitsubishi Shipbuilding are still staying in our Dalian."

Wang Haoran immediately became alert: the people coming to Long Country are almost all cheapskates, and many of them come with missions. Are they trying to spy on the construction of aircraft carriers? (End of this chapter)
