Rebirth of a technological powerhouse

Chapter 281 The New Airshow

Compared with the scale of seawater desalination in the Middle East, China is far behind.

At present, the total scale of seawater desalination along the entire coast of China is only 165 million tons per day!
In the past few years, although there have been various extreme weathers that have caused huge losses in floods, overall, water resources have gradually become scarce and insufficient.

Although it is said that there is groundwater, the groundwater is so polluted that it cannot be used at all.

In this case, seawater desalination has become the best choice for coastal areas and islands.

After all, sea water is inexhaustible!
Or desalination has become one of the main ways to solve the water shortage in coastal cities, among which Zhejiang Province is the most.

As the saying goes, market demand has spawned a number of companies in related industries. The current listed companies in the seawater desalination industry in China mainly include Hailiang, Shuangliang Energy Saving, Jinmembrane Technology, Jiuli Special Materials, and Zhongjin Environment.

In terms of seawater desalination technology, China is not the most advanced, but it can be regarded as make do.

But obviously, to meet the water demand of cities in coastal areas, even if the total scale of seawater desalination in the country is increased by ten times, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Like Ludao, the daily water supply capacity of the water plant exceeds 200 million tons per day, and this is only used for domestic water, excluding industrial water, municipal water, and agricultural water!
Even the current Narcissus City has a great demand for water resources.

Cai Jin has not forgotten that there was a drought for five consecutive years from 2016 to 2020, and the rural domestic water only came in every two or three days. Every reservoir dried up to the bottom, and every piece of crops withered and died.

In that case, artificial rainfall is useless, because artificial rainfall may not be useful all the time.

If at that time, there is a seawater desalination plant, then the drought can be greatly alleviated.

"Well, I'll contact you later on this matter." Cai Jin didn't respond directly.

He has to experiment for himself and come up with concrete results, so that he can be confident.

At this time, realizing the importance of seawater desalination, Cai Jin naturally took care of it. Even if there is no demand from customers in the Middle East, he will do it himself just for China.

While in Zhuhai, although the exhibition has not yet started, Cai Jin has already met with several waves of guests, some of whom want to import bionic robots for military use, and some want to import bionic robots for civilian use.

For bionic robots in the civilian field, Cai Jin is naturally happy to have more customers, the better.

As for bionic robots for military use, unless the other party can go through domestic channels and obtain a license, otherwise, Cai Jin smiled and asked them to contact the relevant company.

In a blink of an eye.

It's time for the show to start.

Cai Jin entered the venue through a special passage and rushed directly to the VIP seats next to the runway.

It is said that it is a VIP seat, but it is actually the same, except that it is a little more forward, so that you can see the fighter jets on the runway more clearly.

Cai Jin glanced around, secretly admiring.

Sure enough, it is advancing with the times.

There are satellites in space, aerospace fighters in suborbital space, electronic reconnaissance aircraft and drones at high altitudes, and thousands of bionic bird robots distributed at a limited height above the ground. There are also patrolling intelligent mechanical dogs on the ground that are constantly patrolling and maintaining order. , forming a complete three-dimensional security system.

Coupled with artificial intelligence, it controls the entire Internet and ensures the smooth progress of the entire air show.

If there is any slight disturbance, an early warning will be triggered immediately, and the security department can take corresponding measures as soon as possible.

At least, Cai Jin didn't notice that someone brought a real guy into the venue.

Airshow opening ceremony.

Air shows are definitely essential.

Since the J-20 performed an above-board flight show two years ago, the Bayi Aerobatic Team, which opened the show this year, also flew J-20 fighter jets.

Unlike before, the number of J-20 fighter jets this time has reached eight, and they are all equipped with domestic engines.

With the flight demonstration, the excellent performance of domestic engines was fully demonstrated. With more powerful power output, the fighter jets are more flexible.

"Fuck!!"

All the military fans shouted in disbelief.

clack clack.
The media reporters on both sides of the viewing platform frantically pressed the shutter at this moment, taking exquisite photos one after another.

Afterwards, the J-10 series fighters, also a performance team composed of eight J-10 fighters of various types, performed aerial performances.

Over the years, the J-10 fighter has been continuously excavated and developed, and a series of models have been derived, which can be said to have been excavated to the limit.

Such as J-10C, J-10D!

The J-10 fighter is the pride of China's third-generation aircraft. Its birth truly marks the transformation of China's aviation industry from preventing other countries' fighter jets to fully independent research and development.

The canard delta wing layout, this design is very common on European fighter jets, but for China, it is still the first attempt, so it is extremely challenging.

The successful development of the J-10 fighter jet has really trained a strong fighter development team and laid the foundation for the development of the improved J-10 and J-20 fighter jets.

Although, with the more advanced J-20 fighter jets and even aerospace fighter jets, the J-10 series fighter jets are no longer advanced, but its significance is still undeniable.

Even now, it has formed an aerial high-low match with the J-20, and it can guard the sky for at least 30 to years!

The J-10C and J-10D are also the stars of China’s fighter jet foreign trade today and are highly anticipated by overseas countries.

The performance is advanced and the price is not expensive. The unit price of a J-10C fighter jet only needs 4 million yuan!

The unit price and export price of a J-10D fighter jet are only tens of millions more!

Moreover, it is a one-stop service, without any messy conditions, and is purely commercial trade.

Now not only the J-10 series fighter jets are selling well, but the trainer aircraft are also selling quite well.

The UAVs transformed from J-5 and J-6 are exported in large quantities and are popular in Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia.

Cai Jin also gave applause for the flight performance of the J-10 series fighter performance team.

This year's opening ceremony had a lot of flight performances, and the next one was the performance of F-series fighter jets, which made many military fans shout incredible and happy!
At the same time, the live broadcast guests also took advantage of this opportunity to reveal the relevant inside information to the outside world.

Before, it was natural to keep it secret so as not to leak the news.But it is no longer necessary.

This is a sign of confidence!

Even if someone is unhappy, they can only watch, but they can't stop it.

"The air and space fighter jets haven't officially met with everyone yet. How long will this be hidden?" Cai Jin muttered to himself.

He originally thought that the superiors would use this opportunity to let the aerospace fighter plane meet the world and make its official debut.

But when the performance ended, there was still no trace.

You know, ordinary people don’t know about China’s ‘sixth generation fighter’ J-30, but the military of major military powers all know about it.

After all, every time someone wants to get hotheaded, the J-30 fighter jet, the world's first sixth-generation fighter jet, will always appear at the right time, and then show its excellent performance.

But what is very strange is that China has not officially announced it to the outside world and has been keeping it secret.Overseas, there are no reports about it, as if everyone doesn't know about it.

Then, Lockheed Martin will always reveal from time to time the development progress of the sixth-generation fighter, as if it will be born at any time.

After the opening ceremony, the outdoor and indoor venues became everyone's hot spots.

In addition to the J-20 fighter jets, domestically produced C919, and C929 large aircraft, the F-series fighter jets and the Nantianmen Plan exhibition area in the science fiction exhibition area are the most popular.

There is no doubt that the F series fighter jets were once desired by countless military fans in China, representing advanced performance and powerful combat effectiveness.

The Nantianmen plan, in fact, is not just a plan, but is being implemented.

Perhaps in the near future, there will be aircraft carriers on the sea and Nantianmen in the sky and space.

It's very sci-fi, but it's no longer a concept or a plan, but a huge sum of money has been spent on construction.

Cai Jin did not visit the Nantianmen Project exhibition area, but went to visit the C919 and C929 domestically produced large aircraft.

The Chinese have always had the dream of big airplanes.The downfall of Yun 10 at the beginning has become the pain and eternal regret in the hearts of countless Chinese people.

However, the Chinese have never given up their dream of pursuing large aircraft. In 2006, the country issued the "National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020)", and the major project of large aircraft was identified as one of the 16 major scientific and technological projects. In the same year, a leading group for major large aircraft projects was established.

Overcome difficulties step by step, completed one experiment after another, and after a series of efforts, finally obtained the airworthiness certificates of various regions.

Also, C919 and C929 were officially delivered to civil aviation!
It can be said that the dream of chasing large aircraft is a microcosm of China's continuous efforts to improve itself and make itself stronger in the past few decades.

The improvement of the aviation industry represented by large aircraft is crucial, whether it is viewed from its industrial chain or from the strategic perspective of the large air force.

The growth of a country is not the top-notch in a certain field, but the continuous improvement in various fields, and it is among the world's first-class.

Although the C919 and C929 large aircraft are outdated products for Cai Jin, they are only for Cai Jin. They are still a high-tech collection in the world and represent the level of national industry. and strength.

It is also true that COMAC is investing a lot of money in expanding production capacity regardless of cost, driving the entire industrial chain.

After visiting C919 and C929, Cai Jin left the outdoor exhibition area. Whether it is other fighter jets, armed helicopters, or drones, it is no secret to Cai Jin.

Cai Jin arrived at the indoor exhibition area and wandered around the venue.

The exhibits of each company this year are obviously much stronger than the previous one. Many equipment that were originally kept secret are allowed to be displayed this year!
After all, a lot of money was invested in the research and development of these equipment. Now that it is outdated, it will not affect safety. Under such circumstances, it is natural to realize as much money as possible to recover the investment in research and development, and maybe it can be used Opportunity to make a good fortune.

Not only these newly-made weapons and equipment, but even many weapons and equipment in service can be exported as second-hand goods.

If you can export some of these things, you can earn back some.

If you earn more money, you will have more funds for the replacement of new weapons and equipment.

There are also many outdated weapons and equipment that have been transformed through technology to make the products competitive again.

For example, this time, there is an exhibition area that shows a modified version of the Type 59 medium tank!
The Type 59 medium tank is the first generation of domestic main battle tanks equipped by China. The tank began to be installed in 1959. It was the main equipment of the Chinese armored forces until 1980. China has produced a total of more than 1 Type 59 tanks!
Even now, there are still more than 2000 Type 59 medium tanks in service in the army!
To be honest, it's not that the Army doesn't want to retire all the more than 2000 Type 59 medium tanks and replace them all with Type 99 and Type 96 main battle tanks, but because military spending is limited!
The conversion of old fighter jets such as the J-5 into drones has inspired military researchers.

As a result, the modified version of the Type 59 medium tank was born.

Developed countries will naturally look down on this kind of magically modified version.

But for developing countries, especially those that are relatively poor and spend too much money to purchase military equipment, there is no doubt that this is a good choice.

Easy to use and not expensive!
Even, to put it bluntly, destroying a modified version of the Type 59 medium tank is probably much more expensive than the Type 59 medium tank.

War is a kind of consumption. In this case, there is no doubt that it is worth it.

At this air show, Cai Jin clearly noticed that cost-effective weapons and equipment such as drones were more popular!

But after thinking about it, Cai Jin also understands that the J-10 series fighters are indeed not expensive. The fighters are equipped with missiles, which are a bit cheaper than fighters of the same level in Europe and the United States. But you must know that the countries and regions in the world that can afford them , still not much.

But drones are different. There are drones worth millions, drones worth hundreds of thousands, and drones worth tens of thousands of dollars. Even tribal forces can afford them.

The same goes for other weapons and equipment.

Those who can afford the complete set of equipment for the synthetic battalion are considered relatively powerful.

As for those who can afford a complete set of equipment for a synthetic brigade, they are already regional overlords.

Synthetic brigades are not something that any country can build.

And this is the cruel reality of the world now!
Soon, the exhibition will officially end.

The total amount of agreements signed during the airshow was also announced, which shocked the whole country and the whole world. The total amount of trade reached directly set a new record for previous airshows.

No one thought that these developing countries could explode with such strong purchasing power.

Maybe on average, a single contract is not that many.

But I can’t stand the large volume!
And here, it is undoubtedly the largest effort of the Arab coalition forces, ordering 4 Type 056 frigates, 2 Type 039B submarines, 1 Type 055 destroyer, etc., just the warships and supporting weapons, the contract exceeds 500 billion yuan!

As for other aspects, including C919 and C929, a total of more than 3000 billion yuan has been thrown out, and the whole body exudes pride!
