Chapter 73 Chapter 2.30 Yes, Lord

Bai Jingqi was extremely annoyed because: while Dong Lin's group coveted the economic accumulation of Western Economic Union, he and Fenghou Group had been paying attention to Luoshui's technological potential.

Now Fenghou Group controls more than 60% of the heavy machinery supply in the west, and the remaining 30% is also supplied by other domestic military enterprises, but! There are still 10% of heavy machinery, which is still owned by Luoshui Heavy Industry, and it cannot be compressed.

What Bai Jingqi is extremely depressed now is that Luoshui can still follow the development of products of the same level.

For example, the 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 made of graphene electricity storage. The efficiency is better on the plateau. The Fenghou Group was forced to replace the already perfected design with graphene full electric power, just like the waiter. This allowed Fenghou to regain 80% of the orders on the plateau.

The same is true for heavy trucks. When Jibei Military Vehicles was engaged in the heavy truck business in the northwest, it was the same as serving grandpa. The power modules were divided into electric power and diesel power. The entire transmission system must also 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 and iterations are very expensive and require market feedback. 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 it firmly occupies 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:

A 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, in the research and development of these industrial chains, Wei Keng actually cheated a lot.

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.

The production capacity of Luoshui's heavy trucks, airships, and missile engines were completely copied by Wei Keng 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 not letting the military industries at hand grab the market.

So what Bai Jingqi saw was that Luoshui Group's heavy equipment only had a market share of 10%, but it could 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, which is equivalent to putting all the engineering teams of China's heavy industry R&D department out of work and damaging China's technology research and development capabilities.

In the eyes of China's military industry giants, although this guy Luo Shui has left the field of arms manufacturing, they are afraid that this guy will come back one day.

…

Bai Jingqi was rightly worried. Wei Keng, a big pig with trotters, started saying "brother" on his lips, and secretly he began to prepare to prevent his brothers from stabbing him. A few months later, Lao Bai got bad news.

All this time, this "brother" has been doing the same thing as a grasshopper on a string. And now Bai Jingqi was told: "You yourself are a grasshopper, and I (Luoshui) are actually a rooster. As a food reserve, goodbye to you."

On November 4, 2207 in the Qin Dynasty, at the Zhenglu Aerospace Manufacturing Center in Yanbei, Wei Keng's plane landed here. 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. Ready to expand enrollment at any time. In fact, we are already recruiting people. Who asked Fenghou's good brother to come over and remind him?

Enter 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. In the projection was a giant object as big as the Qinglong spacecraft, 230 meters long, slightly shorter than the 260 meters of the Qinglong floating base. But the width is obviously wider, a full sixty meters wide, and it 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 built, but it can only guarantee the main performance."

Wei Keng turned to look at another satellite launch expert and asked: "Second question, 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." Finally, he added: "We must build it."

In front of Wei Keng, two plans popped up: 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 we carry out militarized transformation when necessary?"

The third person said very conservatively: "It can be modified, but the scale of the armament loaded 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 has after its emergence is completely worthy of research and development.”

Wei Keng felt that these people were more eager than he thought. You don’t have to do the mobilization work yourself.

…

The Ruomu floating carrier is a reclassification of the Qinglong built by Luo Shui in the timeline of Wei Qiang (Wei Keng's younger brother).

The total system includes four electromagnetic launchers on the upper deck and fifteen mechanical hook and net recovery systems below the battleship.

Four electromagnetic launchers can eject four twenty-ton unmanned combat aircraft to subsonic speeds, allowing the aircraft to activate the stamping device and enter combat status. The internal extension platform can allow eight groups, a total of thirty-two fighters, to be dispatched at one time.

When returning home, the aircraft idled and deployed its parachute and landing gear. It was captured by the mechanical arm hook under the floating battleship, hooked like a fish, and then recovered into the aviation warehouse.

In Wei Qiang's timeline, the 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 middle-aged appearance. It's nothing." Hobby."

…

Coming 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 is that the other party really follows 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 merits but not their hearts. For example, for Ou Xi, as long as the other party has not had time to stab the knife, they will repeatedly boast that Ou Xi follows certain rules and talks about "procedural justice", and even proves it dialectically. If Ou Xi does not follow justice, Ou Xi's moral loss will be greater than Your loss (the price of being killed) is still greater.

As for Wei Keng, he is 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 "suppression of rebellion" to deal with me. Then if I really build a floating battleship, I'll pay for the insurance, it won't be 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 and farmland needs to be planted. We also need to equip every working citizen with a drone, but! As the industry grows, the greed of jackals and tigers will increase. We love peace, but there is a difference between not having a sword in our hands and not using it if we have one. Let the people's pockets in the western states and counties be depleted in order to prevent some guys who are accustomed to breaking bones and sucking out the marrow from taking out their knives and forks at will."

The technicians present made a unified gesture of 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 after a debate with a very classical Confucian scholar wearing long-sleeved clothes. And now Wei Keng's words are applauded by the technical staff: Bravo! .

Their eyes were shining with inexplicable interest! Qianlong is finally ready to leave the abyss.

…

Just like the merchants engaged in handicrafts in the East, they cannot be compared to the handicrafts of the Western city-states. The higher ideological direction pursued by intellectuals in the West who are moving towards the aristocracy cannot compare with the breadth of thinking of Eastern scholars.

Europe has always been regionalized since the concept of the Mediterranean as a whole was shattered during the heyday of Rome. In Europe, both intellectual scholars and the later business system have a concept of mobility (no borders), that is, the king is the king in his own territory, and the scholars are scholars wherever they are. As long as your height is high enough, you can gain more freedom. Freedom in various noble lands.

However, the continuous unification of Eastern history, and 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 empire.

So when the world in the East is in chaos, as one of the heroes, you must show enough ambition, right? Then there will be no people with lofty ideals to join us. And showed his ambition to embezzle the world. Even if the battle is defeated, the think tanks and staff who initially followed him will not jump ship, but will follow him to the end to repay his kindness.

In China, the people in the east saw Wei Keng as a rebel, and the talented scholars around Wei Keng also thought so.

The Shilin disciples who are now following Wei Kenggan claim to have the method of "gaining qi".

When Wei Keng did not hesitate to break up his family, he went to the plateau, observing road by road and planning site by site. In the eyes of these people: it seems that they have to accumulate a lot of effort to achieve unparalleled achievements.

Otherwise, they would not be able to understand Wei Keng's ambition behind living 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 are diligent in cultivating the government and cultivating the people and the army. I understand, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, stay for a while~~~

Now a series of scholars are following Wei Keng to the Western Regions and Hetao areas, planting potatoes, mining, and opening roads. What are they doing?

So when Wei Keng was still thinking about developing warships, how to sell everything he had to give these senior technicians a salary comparable to that of Fenghou Group.

These scholars who hold the science of nature are sure that there is no injustice, and they don’t mind being too little. What they silently think in their hearts is: for the sake of grand plans, let Fenghou Group be blinded tomorrow, and leave a tablet on the Lingyan Pavilion the day after tomorrow.

…

There is a generation gap between Wei Keng and the people in this plane.

No, it is a historical gap. Wei Keng simply did not have the space in his heart to deduce the possible role of "traditional scholars in the East" in industrialization.

In the history of the main plane, the business privateism in the East did not fight a decisive battle with the dynasty's conservatism, but existed as a weak comprador group, constantly seeking peace and begging for peace.

In the history of the main world, there was a big mistake before the East entered industrialization: the traditional scholars collectively stood on the wrong side. In the past thousand years, the world has changed, and there has never been a time when the scholars of the old era were so completely annihilated.

On that ancient battlefield that determined the rise and fall of many dynasties, one side was the Shan Yaodan faction with millions of mud legs and straw sandals, and the other side was the old knowledge camp where the middle and upper class elites of Xubu gathered, and even the young school students at that time were willing to follow them.

The result of that battle of change was that after the East turned red, the next few generations of industrial technicians were basically from middle and lower backgrounds. The old knowledge faction, because of self-pity for their status, could not let go of the style they had, and for decades thereafter they did not formally participate in the trend of industrial progress. Instead, the pattern of the cultural faction was completely reduced.

And such historical results have created the impression of the post-millennium generation on traditional culture that remains at the level of "celestial rituals and music", and as for governing the world and building a great country, it returns to the modern style of "our workers have power".

Wei Keng is exactly the typical example of such a historical view.

In Mr. Wei's current blueprint, his mind is full of the integration of agriculture and industry, and unity and progress. As for scholars, Wei Keng was actually a bit mean and ungrateful. What he thought in his mind was: if they are unusable, even if they are not, at most they can directly train new science and engineering talents from the grassroots level.

Now, even though the scholars in the western part of the Shenzhou plane are facing the difficulty of "Wei Keng's bright moon shining on the ditch", they still do not change their judgment of the general trend of the world: Wei Keng has "kingly aura" and is "colorful", and can wait for the day of shocking roar.

...

When Wei Keng arrived in Yanbei, he finally decided to develop a giant anti-gravity warship.

The entire industrial planning system, energy, and road infrastructure system of the Western Economic Association immediately followed up, and dozens of departments, hundreds of factories, and thousands of scientific research centers began to coordinate.

And from this day on, many schools in the eastern part of Shenzhou, the students who studied electricity, materials, and particle reactors received letters from their seniors, inviting them to go to the west to build a big thing.

Wei Keng himself prohibited academic cliques in the western Gewu College, for example, limiting the rights of tutors and student associations, and all selection was based on graduation examinations. However, they will not prohibit their talents from recruiting people in the east through the network of relationships that existed during the academy period.

Wei Keng has made a request for this: it is not necessary to recruit the best and most outstanding students, as long as there is no bad consumption, and the basic theoretical courses are passed.

In Wei Keng's understanding: scientific research work does not depend on too many geniuses, but on the pragmatic atmosphere. Because the scientific research planning on his side is to take a steady and steady plan, rather than a leap forward with genius as the core.

Wei Keng promised the other side: housing is allocated, food and accommodation are provided by the medical unit, there will be a position when you come, and performance will be evaluated according to talent and contribution.

In sharp contrast to Wei Keng's generosity and benevolence is the stinginess of the Shenzhou Eastern Ticket Bank.

The shopkeepers are getting more and more excessive, raising the loan interest rates for students of the Gewu College, and the daily accommodation consumption in the Gewu College has also been increased. There are many poor scholars who can hardly make a living and can only rely on contacting seniors with financial resources to maintain it.

Wei Keng's standard for recruiting talents: if the recruited person is qualified, double the reward will be paid, if the person is excellent, triple the reward will be paid, and if the person is of great talent, ten times the reward will be paid. As for those who are unqualified, you are responsible for them.

I hope there are no harmonious words, I hope, I hope
