Chapter 695 Project Landing (Second Update)
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 would definitely not show them 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 scale of the Internet industry in the world 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 is 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.
"Yeah!" 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.
"This should be determined by the superior department." Liu Hai felt that Dongfang Heavy Industry was a little too big now.
But sometimes companies have to be big. Some foreign companies are so big that they are unimaginable.
Just like Walmart, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Apple Google, Foxconn, etc., these are all super large companies.
When Liu Hai traveled through time, the company 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 keep it, of course we won't. After all, our factory is not like foreign factories, which are monopolistic. How much technology has our factory spread over the years?" Since Sun Aiguo wanted to ask, Liu Hai also wanted to express his own opinion.
"I also think the same as you. Our enterprise is a state-owned enterprise owned by the whole people, which is completely different from the large monopoly companies abroad. Moreover, our country is lagging behind other countries, so we have finally gained advantages in some fields. 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 go public anyway." Liu Hai nodded. The motorcycle factory involves so many sensitive research that it is impossible to go public.
"But I think some departments can become subsidiaries and operate independently. In addition, some industries that you have invested in before, such as traditional Chinese medicine research, should be reorganized and then you will be given a portion of the shares."
"Don't rush to refuse. First of all, traditional Chinese medicine research is a long-term behavior that requires continuous capital investment."
"Capital investment is one aspect, and the influence of higher-level departments is another aspect. With the entry of foreign capital, the struggle in certain fields may be even darker."
"Besides, the research of traditional Chinese medicine itself is also the first thing you invested in. Whether from a legal or other perspective, it is justified."
"I have also participated in many meetings. Although we are indeed not as good as foreign countries in many aspects, many people cannot see our progress and can only see the strength of foreign countries! ”
“Last year, more than 300,000 people immigrated to foreign countries, and judging by the trend, there will be more this year. These people sold everything they could sell.”
“Personally, it is a miracle that our country has developed from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society decades ago to the present.”
“Although there are many cars on the road here, it is not visible to others.”
“These people blindly think that foreign countries are free. Of course, there are many people advocating freedom abroad!”
Hearing Sun Aiguo say this, Liu Hai laughed: “The more people go, the better, but a mechanism must be established, that is, these people cannot come back after leaving, no matter what the situation is.”
Even in 2020, when we can understand foreign countries from all aspects, many people still cannot let go of the freedom in their hearts.
And most of those 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 happen.
Foreign countries are indeed a paradise, but it is a paradise for white people, and rich white people, not a paradise for you people of color.
"Everyone has their own ideas and freedoms. The main reason is that we have been weak for too long." Of course, Liu Hai couldn't say these things openly.
"Yes, in fact, it's good this way. If they want to leave, let them leave, so that they don't think that everything is bad here." Sun Aiguo nodded.
"Then I will listen to the arrangements of the leaders." Liu Hai felt that what Sun Aiguo said made sense. Traditional Chinese medicine should continue to be supported. If it is ignored now, or assigned to other departments, it will be difficult for him to intervene at that time.
"You are right to think so. You are still so young now, and there are still decades to come. As long as you are here, traditional Chinese medicine will not be belittled by others, nor will it be abandoned halfway." Sun Aiguo also breathed a sigh of relief, because he attended many meetings, so he knew many people's weird remarks.
But even such weird remarks are still catered to by people, but it is not illegal to speak, and people still say good things about other countries.
Of course, there must be some people with ulterior motives, that is, the struggle mode has gradually changed from the destruction of tradition to culture, and there are also struggles in other places.
"The superior department attaches great importance to the network project and should approve the project soon. Such a large investment can also drive the domestic upstream and downstream industrial chains." Although Sun Aiguo is not very traditional about the economy now, he also knows that so much money is invested.
Let alone other things, just a cable, how much money does it cost? How many people are needed to lay these cables in place? How many auxiliary materials are needed?
How many projects are needed to lay cables? And related equipment.
How many factories will these cables support?
Of course, Sun Aiguo also knows that Liu Hai is doing this to improve the level of domestic semiconductor applications.
"Can this network be used for wireless communication in the future? There is a kind of mobile phone abroad. I just saw recently that our lithium batteries can make this kind of mobile phone abroad more powerful." Sun Aiguo asked again.
"Yes!" At this point, Liu Hai thought of something in the semiconductor application, that is, the pager. As for the big mobile phone, Motorola launched the big mobile phone as early as 1973.
Because pagers were already available in the 1950s, many patents in this area should have expired.
The key is that pagers are cheap, not more expensive than mobile phones. However, in 1983, my country also launched mobile phone services in Shanghai.
"Of course, this is the most basic function, mainly serving various information. After we have computers, all departments can receive files immediately after the upper level sends them."
"If there is something going on, we can report it directly to the superiors, and we can set up some exclusive units to receive these." Liu Hai nodded.
"That's good!" Sun Aiguo nodded.
"Then you are 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 that the superiors and experts mentioned some technical problems in the process of network establishment.
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 looked carefully at the problems shown in the materials in his hand and said.
"You also have to find a way to get started in the field of digital mobile communications. Go back and write a plan to establish a project. If you need money, you will get money and people. In addition, you should also learn about foreign pagers, look at the relevant patent technology, and other things. If you can buy them, buy them. Try to build the first paging station in our Kyoto by the end of 1980." Liu Hai assigned two more tasks.
"Understood." Ni Nan nodded quickly when he heard Liu Hai say this.
"The college students who graduated from the relevant majors at Dongfang University this year will be given a list at that time. You can choose first." Liu Hai knew that as the project progressed, this area of the project would continue to expand.
"Okay!" Ni Nan no longer tried to figure out Liu Hai's identity. As a technical manager, he only needed to do the technology well. As for other things, he would not ask.
Because from the current situation, the identity of the boss in front of him might be even more incredible.
Because it took only three days from the submission of the first plan to the inquiry materials sent down from above.
Ni Nan himself is in this field, so he naturally heard that some experts were discussing something recently. The level of the matter was too high, and there was no news leaked at all.
After Ni Nan got the inquiry materials from above, he knew that the so-called confidential project of the big project was the plan he submitted.
The boss in front of him might be even more incredible because he could make the superior department respond so quickly and mobilize so many experts for demonstration.
However, Ni Nan felt that it was very good now. He didn't have to worry about money or technology. If the domestic technology was not enough, he would buy authorization abroad.
This kind of super-large project will definitely go down in history.
Besides, who doesn't want to learn the world's most advanced technology when doing technology.
"Then can we introduce foreign talents?" Ni Nan asked casually before leaving.
"Of course." Liu Hai nodded.
In this way, the superiors inquired about the project, and Ni Nan wrote the explanatory materials. After more than two months, the project was completely implemented at the end of April 1980.
After the project was implemented, many people were eager to show their power, especially the experts involved in the discussion who believed that such a large project must be inseparable from themselves, and there were so many technologies involved and so many relationships.
But then reality gave everyone a critical blow, 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 500 million US dollars in the first phase, and Ni Nan was the technical representative of this company.
As for the specific shareholder structure of this railway network communication company, as well as the specific work process, it has not been announced to the public.
The experts who wanted to oppose it did not speak when they saw this situation, because Fenghuo Company has obtained the permanent architecture license of the X86 chip, and has also introduced production lines and production technology from abroad to mass-produce 8086 chips in our country.
The experts know how deep the water is behind this. 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 super large project. Although it is said to cooperate 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 looked down on before.
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 is familiar with the map and geological conditions of its own territory, but even so, it still needs to communicate with the technical project team sent by Ni Nan, because the network also uses electricity and equipment such as signal amplifiers.
Liu Hai does not have much time to manage this company. The company's finances are all mobilized from relevant departments.
These are the elites among the elites.
Of course, this project is now confidential, that is, only some people know about it, and it has not been reported internationally or domestically.
During this period, Liu Hai gradually took out 300 million to purchase various basic patent licenses, all of which are 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 field of the Internet, except that there is an internal network utilization rate within the military.
It is still 11 years 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 boom arose, but because no profit point was found, the Internet bubble broke out again in the millennium.
Liu Hai started this in 1980. Although a small number of people knew that the Internet might be important in the future, they could not provide any proof.
Therefore, the patent licenses obtained now are the foundation for the future development of the Internet.
Now you can boldly develop from these patents.
Of course, Liu Hai has not been idle in the past two months. He is designing two portable flying scooters.
Liu Hai is busy doing fly-by-wire experiments, using rare earth permanent magnet brushless motors.
Because the portable flying scooter adopts a modular design, you can directly plug the control line plug into the modular assembly to make a flying scooter.
