Return to the red age

PS: 5,000 words, thank you for your monthly votes. If nothing goes wrong, I will update 10,000 words during the holidays.

The head of the railway department still wanted to promote this matter, but the superior department immediately arranged an expert group to demonstrate the plan.

After seeing this plan, the domestic experts in communications, electronic information applications, computers, etc., their eyelids jumped.

Of course, these experts only saw the pure technical part of the content. As for the specific investment and business methods, they will definitely not be shown to these experts.

Many experts first opposed the large-scale investment in network construction now, because this is still a laboratory product abroad, and it is hard to say what the situation will be after the high investment.

Many experts even think that this has a tendency to exaggerate in the past, but the superior department only asked the experts to conduct technical demonstrations to see how feasible this plan is?

So these experts picked out a lot of problems with a picky mentality.

These problems were sent to Ni Nan again. Looking at the problems raised, Ni Nan quickly convened the relevant personnel of the laboratory for discussion, buying the technology that should be bought, buying the equipment that should be bought, and developing the equipment that should be developed.

"Your project requires too much investment, and there are too many experts who oppose it." Sun Aiguo sent Liu Hai the opinions of the experts above this time, and also read the specific opinions of the experts. Although he didn't understand the technical aspects, Sun Aiguo knew that so many experts' opposition must be reasonable.

"I don't plan to make a profit from this project within 10 years!" Liu Hai certainly knew that it was a waste of money to engage in the Internet now, but because the Internet is still a new thing, people abroad have not seen the benefits of related aspects.

So it is easy to get some basic patent technology licenses now. If you wait for more than ten years, until the Internet abroad has already started, and then get these licenses, then forget it.

Liu Hai is now like a sucker.

Who knows how large the global Internet industry will be in the future?

So it is relatively easy to get some software and hardware technology licenses now.

"What about 10 years later?" Sun Aiguo was still a little worried.

"Let's talk about it after 10 years. Anyway, I can afford the loss!" Liu Hai couldn't describe the situation of the Internet in 10 or 20 years to Sun Aiguo, because Sun Aiguo was a completely unfamiliar field with the Internet.

The level of science and technology and network applications in 2020 is so high that even science fiction movies cannot produce it. How do you think Liu Hai can explain it?

Liu Hai is describing the grand network scene in 2020 to chip experts, network application and communication experts. These people are all confused, not to mention Sun Aiguo, an outsider.

Arrogant!

Sun Aiguo can no longer use adjectives to describe his current mood.

"Okay then." In the end, he could only say these three words.

"What do you think of the information about the bridge-building machine I showed you last time?" Sun Aiguo asked.

Liu Hai nodded: "The technical principle in this area is not complicated. I will try it."

Liu Hai also learned from the information provided by the railway department that my country began to develop bridge-building machines in the 1960s. To be precise, this one is more like a beam crane.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the heavy bridge-building machines used by the highway and railway departments to build bridges when Liu Hai traveled through time.

In fact, as early as around 2010, my country's bridge-building machines reached the most advanced level in the world.

The reason why my country's bridge-building machines reached the world's advanced level at that time was entirely because my country's infrastructure construction scale was relatively large.

It can be said that my country's infrastructure construction scale is the largest in the world after the millennium.

Precisely because of the large market demand, our country is willing to invest in research and development in this area.

Western infrastructure projects must be in 2020, as long as anyone who goes online can see. .

The greater the load capacity of the bridge-building machine, the greater the weight of the box girder on the bridge, the longer the length, and the larger the bridge that can be built.

The load capacity and bearing capacity of the bridge are getting bigger and bigger.

By comparison, you can find that the span and load capacity between some bridges decades ago and some bridges decades later are not at the same level at all.

Before Liu Hai traveled through time, he saw a report that my country's largest bridge-building machine has reached 1,000 tons, and the maximum span has reached 40 meters. There are also some special bridge-building machines that can even reach a span of 50 meters.

This is the result of application. Why did foreign countries lag behind us in this technology later? It is because there is no huge market.

"Well!" Sun Aiguo nodded and spoke again.

"I will retire in a few years. I wonder what plans you have for the future of our factory?" Sun Aiguo asked another question.

"We should listen to the superior department for this." Liu Hai felt that Dongfang Heavy Industry was a little too big now.

But sometimes enterprises have to be big. Some foreign enterprises are so big that they are unimaginable.

Just like Walmart, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Apple Google, Foxconn, these are all super large enterprises.

When Liu Hai traveled through time, the enterprise formed a head effect again.

"What kind of model do you think our factory should develop in? Split or?" Sun Aiguo didn't buy Liu Hai's words and continued to ask.

"If we can't split it up, of course we won't. After all, our factory is not a monopoly like foreign factories. How much technology has our factory spread over the years?" Since Sun Aiguo wanted to ask, Liu Hai also wanted to express his own opinions. view.

"I agree with you. The nature of our enterprise is a state-owned enterprise owned by the whole people. It is completely different from the large foreign monopoly companies. Moreover, our country itself is lagging behind other countries, so it is not easy to gain advantages in some fields. If once If we split our factory, we will probably fall into internal competition." Sun Aiguo's words let Liu Hai know Sun Aiguo's thoughts.

"Well, our company can't be listed anyway." Liu Hai nodded. Of course, the motorcycle factory involves so much sensitive research that it is impossible to go public.

"But I do think that some departments can become subsidiaries and run independently. In addition, some industries that you have invested money in before, such as the research of traditional Chinese medicine, should be reorganized and then give you a share of the shares."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. First of all, the research of traditional Chinese medicine is a long-term activity and requires continuous financial investment."

“Capital investment is one thing, and the influence of higher-level departments is another. With the entry of foreign capital, the battles in some fields may become darker.”

"Besides, the research on traditional Chinese medicine itself is the first thing you invest in. From a legal perspective or from other perspectives, it makes sense."

"I have also attended many conferences. Although we are indeed inferior to foreign countries in many aspects, many people cannot see our progress and can only see the strength of foreign countries!"

"More than 300,000 people immigrated abroad last year, and looking at this trend there will be even more this year. These people sold everything they could."

"Personally, it is a miracle that our country has developed from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society a few decades ago to the present."

"Although there are many cars on the road here and there are traffic jams, others can't see it."

"These people blindly believe that freedom exists abroad. Of course, there are many people here who are also advocating freedom abroad!"

Hearing what Sun Aiguo said, Liu Hai chuckled: "The more you leave, the better, but you need to establish a mechanism so that these people can't come back after they leave, no matter what the situation is."

Even in 2020, when we can learn about foreign countries from all aspects, many people still cannot let go of the freedom in their hearts.

And most of the people who want to go out are educated and knowledgeable people.

From this aspect, there is still something wrong with our education, otherwise this situation would not have happened.

There is indeed paradise abroad, but it is a paradise for white people, and it must be a paradise for rich white people. It is not a paradise for you people of color.

"Everyone has his or her own thoughts and freedom. The main reason is that we have been weak for too long." Of course, Liu Hai couldn't say these things on the surface.

"Yeah, actually that's fine. If they want to go out, let them go out, so as not to feel bad from our side." Sun Aiguo nodded.

"Then I will follow the leadership's arrangements." Liu Hai felt that what Sun Aiguo said was reasonable. Traditional Chinese medicine must continue to be supported. If he ignores it now or transfers it to other departments, he will not be able to intervene when the time comes.

"You are right to think so. You are still so young now, and there will be decades to come. As long as you are here, the field of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be belittled by others, nor can it be abandoned halfway." Sun Aiguo also breathed a sigh of relief. , because I have participated in many conferences, so I know many people’s weird remarks.

But there are still people who cater to such weird remarks, but they are not illegal, and they still say good things about other countries.

Of course, there must be some people with ulterior motives, which means that the mode of struggle gradually changes from the destruction of tradition to cultural and other struggles.

"The higher-level departments of the network project attach great importance to it, and the project should be approved soon. Such a large investment can also drive the domestic upstream and downstream industry chains." Although Sun Aiguo is not very traditional about the economy, he also knows that there is so much money Invest it.

Not to mention anything else, how much does a cable cost, and how much labor is required to lay these cables in place? How much supporting materials are needed?

How much work does it take to lay the cables? There are also related equipment.

How many factories do these cables need to feed?

Of course, Sun Aiguo also knows that Liu Hai is doing this to improve our domestic semiconductor application level.

"Will this network be able to communicate wirelessly in the future? There is a mobile phone abroad. I only recently saw that our lithium battery can actually make this foreign mobile phone more powerful." Sun Aiguo asked again.

"Okay!" At this point, Liu Hai thought of another semiconductor application, that is, pagers. As for Mobile Phone, Motorola had launched Mobile Phone as early as 1973.

Because pagers have been around since the 1950s, bald eagles have existed, so many patents in this area should have expired.

The key is that pagers are cheap and no more expensive than mobile phones. However, in 1983, our country also launched mobile phone services in Shanghai.

"Of course, this is the most basic function, mainly to serve various information. When computers are available in the future, all departments can receive files from above and below."

"If there is anything below, you can report it directly to your superiors. You can set up some exclusive units to receive it." Liu Hai nodded.

"That's good!" Sun Aiguo nodded.

"Then you're busy. If you need to submit any materials, just give them to me when the time comes!"

After Liu Hai sent Sun Aiguo away, he saw the experts from his superiors mentioned some technical issues in the process of establishing the network.

So Liu Hai came to Fenghuo Company again and handed the materials to Ni Nan.

"Boss, I will reply to these materials one by one within three days and then send them over." Ni Nan carefully looked at the problems displayed in the materials in his hand and said.

"You also have to find a way to develop digital mobile communications. Go back and write a plan to establish a project. You need money to give money and people to give people. The other thing is foreign pagers. You should also learn about them and take a look at the relevant patented technologies. If you have other things, buy them if you can, and strive to build the first paging station in Kyoto by the end of 1980." Liu Hai assigned two more tasks.

"Understood." Ni Nan nodded quickly when he heard Liu Hai say this.

"Eastern University will give you a list of college students in related majors who graduated this year. You can choose first." Liu Hai knew that as the project progresses, the projects in this area will continue to expand.

"Okay!" Ni Nan no longer tried to figure out who Liu Hai was? As a technical manager, I only need to do a good job in technology, and I don’t care about other things.

Because judging from the current situation, the identity of the boss in front of him may be even more incredible.

Because only three days passed between submitting the first plan and then receiving the inquiry materials sent from above.

Ni Nan himself is in this field. Naturally, he heard that some experts were discussing a matter recently. The matter discussed was too high-level and no news was leaked at all.

After Ni Nan got the above inquiry materials, he knew that the so-called confidential large-scale project was the plan he submitted.

For the superior department to respond so quickly and to mobilize so many experts to conduct demonstrations, the identity of the boss in front of him is probably even more incredible.

However, Ni Nan feels that it is very good now. There is no need to worry about money or technology. If the domestic technology is not enough, just buy licenses abroad.

This kind of super big project will definitely leave a mark in history.

Besides, who is engaged in technology doesn’t want to learn the most cutting-edge technology in the world.

"Then can we introduce foreign talents?" Ni Nan asked casually before leaving.

"Of course." Liu Hai nodded.

In this way, I went back and forth, asking questions about this project from above, and Ni Nan from below wrote explanatory materials. This process lasted for more than two months. At the end of April 1980, the project was completely implemented.

After the project was launched, many people were gearing up and wanting to show off their power. Especially the relevant experts who participated in the discussion believed that such a large project must be inseparable from them, because of how much technology and human relationships are involved.

But then reality hit everyone hard, and the project fell into the hands of the railway department.

Then the railway department reached a cooperation agreement with Fenghuo Company to jointly establish a railway network company. Fenghuo Technology Company invested US$500 million in the first phase, and the technical representative of this company is Ni Nan.

As for the specific shareholder composition of this railway network communications company, as well as the specific work processes, they have not been announced to the public.

Experts who originally wanted to object stopped speaking when they saw this situation, because FiberHome has obtained the permanent architecture authorization for the X86 chip, and has also introduced production lines and production technology from abroad to mass-produce 8086 chips in our country.

These experts know how deep the water behind this is, but many people envy Ni Nan. When Ni Nan went to Fenghuo Technology Company, many colleagues sneered at him.

Now he is in charge of such a huge project. Although he is said to be cooperating with the railway department, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the person in charge of technology and funds is Ni Nan, who he used to look down on.

The first phase of this project is very simple, which is to lay cables. The railway department began to plan the cable laying plan.

Because the railway department has a clear understanding of the geological conditions of its own map, but it still has to communicate with the technical project team sent by Ni Nan, because the network also needs electricity and equipment such as signal amplifiers. .

Liu Hai didn't have much time to manage this company. The company's finance staff were all mobilized from relevant departments.

These are the best of the best.

Of course, this project is currently confidential, which is only known to some internal people, and has not been reported internationally or domestically.

During this period, Liu Hai successively spent 300 million to purchase various basic patent licenses, all needed for this project.

It is really cheap to buy these basic patent licenses now, because even the most developed Bald Eagle is almost blank in the network area, except that there is an internal network utilization rate within the military.

There are still 11 years left before the birth of the World Wide Web, because the World Wide Web was born in 1991.

Even after the birth of the World Wide Web, the Internet craze arose, but because no profit point was found, the Internet bubble broke out again in the millennium.

Liu Hai started doing this in 1980. Although a few people knew that the Internet might be important in the future, they could not provide any proof.

Therefore, the patent authorization obtained now is the foundation for future network development.

Now you can confidently and boldly develop from these patents.

Of course, Liu Hai has not been idle in the past two months, and is designing two portable flying motorcycles.

Liu Hai is busy doing telex experiments, using rare earth permanent magnet brushless motors.

Because the portable flying motorcycle adopts a modular design, just plug the control circuit plug into the modular assembly to create a flying motorcycle.
