Bai Jingqi was extremely annoyed because: while the Donglin gang coveted the economic accumulation of the Western Economic Union, he and the Fenghou Group had been paying attention to the technological potential of Luoshui.
Now Fenghou Group controls more than 60% of the heavy machinery supply in the west. The remaining 30% is also supplied by other domestic military enterprises, but! There is still 10% of the heavy machinery supplied by Luoyang.
The share of water is heavy and is incompressible.
Bai Jingqi is extremely depressed now that Luoshui can still follow the development of products of the same level.
For example, transport airships. Fenghou Group has completed an advanced Tesla energy storage diesel-electric airship for the Western Region.
In the second year, Luoshui developed a pure electric airship based on graphene storage. The efficiency on the plateau was better. The Fenghou Group was forced to replace the already perfected design with graphene just like Mr. Waiting.
Fully powered by electricity, Fenghou has regained 80% of its orders on the plateau.
The same is true for heavy trucks. When Jibei Military Vehicles was doing heavy truck business in the northwest, it was the same as serving grandpa. The power module was divided into electric power and diesel power. The entire transmission system also had to be updated to the latest. Because,
Luoshui itself has completed the finalization of the truck system, all electric and diesel engines have been completed, and prototypes have been produced. However, the market price is slightly higher, so there are only 7% of orders in the west.
These equipment updates are very expensive and require feedback from the market. The heavy industry companies in China are sure that they have won most of the market. According to the traditional model, the heavy industry in Luoshui has long been driven out.
But in fact, Luoshui now still has research and development capabilities, and has firmly occupied the majority of the industry in related special steels, power control components, and core transmission parts.
This makes China’s military industry giants very surprised: How much money does Wei Keng make in light industry and agriculture to subsidize these large-scale special equipment industries at hand?
…
Questions about the military industry giants in this plane:
The large number of military-related parts and components industries in Luoshui in the west are indeed supported by the civilian market, such as electronics, chemicals, and machinery.
However, Wei Keng actually cheated a lot in the research and development of these industrial chains.
The design of heavy industry for civilian use requires a hugely expensive R&D team to do the overall design based on the current technical level, calibrate the relevant subsystems, and continuously burn money on experiments.
Luoshui’s production capacity of heavy trucks, airships, and missile engines were completely copied by Wei Qiang based on the technology on Wei Qiang’s timeline.
Such cross-dimensional plagiarism: Wei Keng only maintained that Luoshui had this technology, and he also paid attention to stopping it and did not let the military industries at hand compete for the market.
So what Bai Jingqi saw is that Luoshui Group's heavy equipment only has a market share of 10%, but it can still keep up with the iteration of China's advanced equipment.
As for Luoshui occupying the entire western market in a short period of time, it is theoretically possible, but it has no friends in business and politics. Moreover, unscrupulous cheating is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, which is equivalent to destroying the engineering team of China's heavy industry R&D department.
All are unemployed, which will hit China’s scientific and technological research and development capabilities.
In the eyes of China's military industry giants, although this guy Luoshui has left the field of arms manufacturing, they are afraid that this guy will come back one day.
…
Bai Jingqi was right to worry. Wei Keng, a big pig with trotters, started to say "brother" on his lips, and secretly he began to prepare to prevent his brother from stabbing him. A few months later, Lao Bai got bad news.
All along, this "brother" has been doing the same thing as a grasshopper strung on a thread. But now Bai Jingqi was told: "You yourself are a grasshopper, and I (Luoshui) are actually a rooster. As a reserve food, you
,Goodbye."
On November 4, 2207 in the Qin Dynasty, Wei Keng's plane landed at the Zhengtu Aerospace Manufacturing Institute in Yanbei. This is the anti-gravity airship production base in Luoshui.
Wei Keng inspected the site of the production base and then met the technical team here. There are only 600 technicians here. Compared with the talent reserve of Fenghou Group, it is too small, but the backbone is there. At any time
We are preparing to expand our recruitment. In fact, we are already recruiting people. Who asked our good brother Fenghou to come over and remind us?
Step into the expert’s laboratory,
Wei Keng asked the person in charge of the production: "Have you read the information?"
The person in charge, Li Yunzhao, turned on the system projection. The projection showed a giant object as big as the Qinglong spaceship. It was 230 meters long, slightly shorter than the 260 meters of the Qinglong floating base. But the width was obviously wider, a full sixty meters.
It is wider and looks fatter. "Wakagi" is marked on the side armor of the hull.
The person in charge said: "Our idea is -"
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Keng waved his hand: "Let me tell you the conclusion first. Can we build it?"
Li Yunzhao: "It can be made, but it can only guarantee the main performance."
Wei Keng turned to look at the expert who launched another satellite and asked: "The second question is, is there any cost advantage in using Ruomu's launch system to launch civilian satellites?"
Satellite expert: "The cost is higher than in peacetime, but much lower than in wartime." At the end, he added: "We need to build it."
Wei Keng was presented with two options: magnetic towed launch in peacetime and chemical fuel launch in wartime, as well as the costs behind them.
Wei Keng asked the third person again: "Can militarization be carried out when necessary?"
The third person said very conservatively: "It can be modified, but the scale of the loaded weapons will be limited, and the ground attack capability is not comparable to the traditional version of the Qinglong battleship. But!" He said seriously: "This large battleship
The strategic deterrent effect it will have after its emergence is completely worthy of research and development."
Wei Keng felt that these people were more eager than he thought. He did not need to do the mobilization work himself.
…
The floating carrier Ruomu was upgraded to the Qinglong built by Luoshui in the timeline of Wei Qiang (the younger brother of Wei Keng).
The total system includes four electromagnetic launchers on the upper deck and fifteen mechanical hook and net recovery systems below the warship.
Four electromagnetic launchers can eject four twenty-ton unmanned fighter aircraft to subsonic speeds, allowing the aircraft to start the stamping device and enter combat status. The internal telescoping platform can allow eight groups, a total of thirty-two fighters, to be launched at one time
Move out.
When returning home, the aircraft idles and deploys its parachute and landing gear. It is captured by the mechanical arm hook under the floating battleship, hooked like a fish, and then recovered into the aviation cabin.
In Wei Qiang’s timeline, Luoshui Group built a total of 34 such warships, which crossed the Himalayas and had a strategic impact on the Allied sea control in the Tianzhu Ocean.
After learning about the golden fleet in that timeline, Wei Keng's first reaction was to admire: "My brother's aesthetics are so high-end, big is beautiful, more is good, unlike me, I have a rustic appearance and a mediocre appearance, it's nothing
Hobby."
…
Back to the topic, although Wei Keng will not take the initiative to build these tall and powerful super weapons, he will sometimes compete for it.
In Wei Keng’s original plan, he wanted to keep a low profile and not engage in any arms race. But the premise was that the other party really followed the rules.
In the main world of the 20th century, the public intellectual circles are all "gentlemen". To the outside world, they talk about their deeds regardless of their intentions. For example, with regard to Ou Xi, as long as the opponent has not had time to stab the knife over, they will repeatedly boast that Ou Xi follows certain rules.
"Procedural justice" is even dialectical. If Ou Xi does not follow justice, Ou Xi's moral loss will be greater than your loss (the cost of being killed).
As for Wei Keng, you are a "villain" who directly comments on his heart and deeds. When you start to accuse me of rebelling, you will definitely be prepared to use "suppressing the rebellion" to deal with me. Then I will really build a floating battleship.
It's an insurance policy, but it's not too much.
At the engineering meeting, Wei Keng said: "Then it's determined, the Ruomu Hao must be built! Although our roads need to be paved, farmland needs to be planted, and every worker must be equipped with a drone, but!
As the industry grows, the greed of jackals and tigers and leopards will increase. We love peace, but there is a difference between not having a sword in our hands and having a sword in our hands and not using it. I won’t make too many, and I won’t use them for competition. I won’t
Let the people's pockets in the western states and counties be depleted. This is to prevent some guys who are accustomed to knocking bones and sucking marrow from taking out knives and forks at us at will."
The technicians present made a unified posture with arms spread and folded, holding the right wrist with the left hand and giving a thumbs up with the right hand. This etiquette would be very ceremonial if it were done by a Confucian scholar with long sleeves and very classical clothes. But now Wei
Keng's words were applauded by the technical staff: "Bravo!"
Their eyes were shining with inexplicable interest! Qianlong was finally ready to leave the abyss.
…
Just as the merchants engaged in handicrafts in the East cannot be compared to the handicraft burghers in Western city-states, the higher ideological direction pursued by intellectuals in the West who are moving towards the aristocracy cannot be compared with the breadth of thinking of Eastern scholars.
Europe has always been regionalized since the concept of the Mediterranean as a whole in the heyday of Rome was broken. In Europe, both intellectual scholars and the later commercial system have a concept of fluidity (no borders), that is, the king is in his own country
The territory is the king, and scholars are scholars wherever they are. As long as your height is high enough, you can gain more freedom. Freedom in various noble territories.
However, as Eastern history continues to be unified, in the worldview of Eastern scholars, there is no concept that can be partial to a corner in the process of assistance.
If an Eastern scholar has the conditions to show off his talents, he will never be satisfied with being a retainer of a lord. He will either completely live in seclusion or help the king spread his business throughout the world.
So when the world in the East is in chaos, as one of the heroes, you must show enough ambition. If you are partial to peace? Then no people with lofty ideals will surrender. And show the ambition to embezzle the world. Even if you lose the battle, the think tanks and staff who initially followed will not
Jump off the ship and follow to the end to repay the kindness of knowing you.
In Shenzhou, the people in the east saw Wei Keng as a rebel, and the talented scholars around Wei Keng also felt the same way.
When Wei Keng did not hesitate to break up his family and went to the plateau, he observed road by road and planned land by land. In the eyes of these people, it seemed that he was trying to accumulate more and more in order to build up unparalleled achievements.
Otherwise, they would not be able to understand Wei Keng’s ambition behind eating the same food as ordinary people, not living in a luxurious house, and not avoiding the sun.
When Wei Keng feels that he is serving the people, it is normal and pragmatic to be content with being a screw and stepping on the mud with his bare feet.
These scholars in the West may be thinking in their hearts: Lord, you are right, we work hard to cultivate the government, cultivate the people and the army. I understand, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, wait for a while~~~
Now follow Wei Keng to the Western Regions, a series of scholars in the Hetao area, planting potatoes, mining, opening roads, what are they planning?
So when Wei Keng was still thinking about research and development of warships, how to sell iron and steel to get a salary level comparable to that of Fenghou Group for these senior technicians.
This group of scholars who are masters of the study of physical studies are determined to be unfair and do not feel underrepresented at all. What they are thinking silently in their hearts is: for the sake of their great cause, the Fenghou Group will be blinded tomorrow, and a memorial tablet will be left in the Lingyan Pavilion the day after tomorrow.
…
There is a generation gap between Wei Keng and the people in this plane.
No, no, it’s a historical gap. Wei Keng simply didn’t have room in his heart to deduce the possible role of “traditional Eastern scholars” in industrialization.
In the history of the main plane, Eastern commercialism did not have a decisive battle with dynastic conservatism, but existed as a weak comprador group, constantly seeking peace from outside.
In the historical line of the main world, there was a big mistake before the east entered industrialization: the traditional scholars were collectively on the wrong team. In the past thousand years, the world has changed, and never before could the scholars of the old era be so completely wiped out.
On the ancient battlefield that determined the rise and fall of many dynasties, on one side were the yam egg sect with millions of mud-legged and straw-shoes, and on the other side were the elites of the middle and upper classes in Xubu, and even the youth school students at that time were willing to join the camp of the old intellectuals.
The result of that war that changed the world was that after Dongfang became red, the following generations of industrial technicians were basically from middle-to-lower backgrounds. The old intellectuals, because of their self-pity for their status, could not let go of their previous style, and in the following decades they became
It did not formally participate in the trend of industrial progress. Instead, it completely reduced the structure of the cultural faction.
And such historical results have created that the impression of the post-millennium generation on traditional culture remains on the "Chinese rituals and music". As for governance and construction, they have returned to the modern era where "we workers have the power"
In the style of painting.
Wei Keng is exactly a typical example of this historical perspective.
Master Wei's current blueprint is all about the integration of agriculture and industry and unity and progress. As for scholars, Wei Keng is actually a bit mean and ungrateful. What he thinks in his mind is: If it is not useful, even if it is not used, the worst is to directly recruit new science and engineering students from the grassroots level.
Talent.
Now, even though Shilin in the west of the country in the plane of China is faced with the difficulty of "Wei Keng's bright moon shining on the ditch", he still does not change his judgment on the general trend of the world: Wei Keng has "king energy" and is "colorful"
", we can wait for the day of screaming.
…
When Wei Keng arrived in Yanbei, he finally decided to develop an anti-gravity giant battleship.
The entire industrial planning system, energy, and road infrastructure system of the Western Economic Union immediately caught up, and dozens of departments, hundreds of factories, and thousands of scientific research centers began to coordinate.
From this day on, students from many schools in eastern China who studied electricity, materials, and particle reactors received letters from their seniors, inviting them to go to the west to build something big.
Wei Keng himself was prohibited from studying in the Gewu Academy in the west. For example, the rights of tutors and student unions were restricted, and all selections were based on graduation examinations. However, he did not prohibit his talents from being recruited in the east through the network that existed during the academy.
people.
Wei Keng has put forward requirements for this: It is not necessary to recruit the best high-achieving students, as long as there are no bad consumption, and they can pass the basic theoretical courses.
Wei Keng’s understanding: The work of scientific research does not depend on too many geniuses, but on the pragmatism of the atmosphere. This is because the scientific research plan on our side is originally to adopt a steady and steady plan, rather than a leap forward with genius as the core.
Wei Keng made a promise there: Housing will be allocated, food, accommodation and medical care will be managed by the unit. You will be given a job if you come here, and your performance will be evaluated based on your talent and contribution.
In sharp contrast to Wei Keng's generosity and benevolence is the stinginess of the Eastern China Bank.
The shopkeepers are becoming more and more excessive, raising the interest rates on loans for the students of Gewu College, and the daily accommodation expenses in Gewu College have also been increased. Many of them are poor scholars who have difficulty making a living and rely on connections to have financial resources.
Only the seniors can maintain it.
Wei Keng’s standards for attracting talented scholars: As long as the person he recruits is qualified, he will be reimbursed twice, if he is excellent, he will be reimbursed three times, and if he has a major talent, he will be reimbursed ten times. As for those who are not qualified, you are responsible for it.
