Technological Hegemony

Just when the western scientific community was in a panic because of Xingchen Technology's battery and power generation technology, on August 1st, another astonishing news came from China.

In the early morning, after Luo Jia and the company's management gathered, they took two electric commercial vehicles to the Jiangnan Shipyard on Changxing Island in Shanghai to participate in the launching ceremony of the wind power installation ship.

As part of the tribute to August 1st, the twelve semi-submersible installation vessels ordered by Guodian will be officially delivered today.

After the twelve installation ships leave the port, they will immediately put into the preliminary offshore construction of the Karmen vortex street power generation array. Fixed piles will be laid on the seabed to build the subsea support platform, and then the wind turbines and multi-connectors will be installed on the platform. rod system.

This is undoubtedly a big event, marking that the grand blueprint of Star Technology and the national team is about to become a reality.

Although Xingchen Technology and Jiangnan Heavy Industry are very close to each other and can be directly reached from west to east through Chongming Island, this is the first time that Luo Jia has the honor to enter the factory area of ​​this legendary shipyard.

After all, Jiangnan shipbuilding is the country's most important tool. They not only build civilian ships, but also build warships. The security system is very strict. There is no way for idlers to go in and visit. Even if you do get in, it may not be a good thing. The uncles of Guoan will Greet you kindly, and greet all eight generations of your ancestors.

As the guests specially invited by Guodian and Jiangnan Shipbuilding to watch the ceremony, Luo Jia and his party will certainly not receive similar treatment. They hung their visitor cards and were accompanied by Director Xu of the shipyard office, all the way unimpeded.

They visited a super-large dock that could build an aircraft carrier, and saw two guided missile destroyers being outfitted.

Director Xu even took everyone aboard the unfinished warship to see how the workers laid cables on the warship and hoisted the steam turbine that will soon become history. And a lot of dollars, in exchange for a complete set of precious gas turbine design drawings from the Ukrainian Er Maozi.

Looking at the two guided missile destroyers that are about to be completed, Director Xu said with emotion, "These are the last two ships. Because of your relationship, warships using gas turbines will soon become history. In a short time, we will start building a group of everyone here. Guys, I can't say what it is, but you should all know."

Luo Jia and the others nodded with a smile. Of course, they are well aware of the military's development plan. The next step is the mixed installation of missiles and electromagnetic guns. The era of super battleships.

Since the carrier-based Karman vortex street power generation array requires a stable platform, the volume of the mixed super battleship must be very large, otherwise it cannot support the operation of the power generation array.

Luo Jia is not clear about the specific plan of the military.

But he can be sure that the mixed battleship will definitely be the super giant of the new era, reaching a level of 80,000 to 100,000 tons, about the size of a Ford-class aircraft carrier in North America.

As for the thousands of tons of destroyers, they will be fully electrified and driven by electric motors. These destroyers will be equipped with a huge logistics supply ship.

In addition to carrying fresh water, medical treatment, food, and ammunition, the logistics supply ship will also be equipped with a carrier-based Karman vortex street power generation array and a large-scale energy storage battery, which is equivalent to a mobile naval base to replenish supplies for surrounding ships. And energy, is the big nanny of the fleet.

A giant nanny ship can lead a fleet across the world. What if the destroyer's power is insufficient? Don't be afraid, the nanny loves you.

Facing the scorching summer sun, facing the salty sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean, listening to the whistle of the freighter on the distant Yangtze River, Luo Jia and others stood by the pier of the Jiangnan Shipyard, with infinite emotion in their hearts .

Jiangnan is not an ordinary shipyard. On its body, there are scars from the great history and the memory of the humiliation of the entire Chinese nation. Luo Jia and the others stand here, imagining the scene of mixed battleships laying down dumplings a few years later, I am even more fortunate because I have been able to do some work to push history forward.

"Did you pay attention when you came?" Ling Feng asked.

"Pay attention to what?"

"The charging piles on Chongming Island have reached 100% coverage. You know, this is the most remote area in Shanghai. The national team said that within three years, charging piles will cover the entire China. But according to the current statistics, it is very likely Two years is enough."

"It's not surprising, we are infrastructure madmen."

Everyone laughed.

The power grid is not lying. They have done countless work over the past year, allowing charging facilities to cover more than half of China, laying a solid foundation for the popularization of electric vehicles in the future.

Although Xingchen Technology is very powerful, they must also admit that the national team is the real top player in terms of concentrating on big things. Without the assistance of the national team, many things cannot be done by Xingchen Technology alone.

"The infrastructure maniac is going to launch again soon." Li Moran said with a smile, "Today is a signal that twelve installation ships will be delivered at the same time, and the national team has another twelve ships in the dock. Ability, but very scary."

"Typical national team style, either don't play, play big if you want to play. It is estimated that in the hands of the national team, all power generation arrays, supporting energy storage centers, and power transformation centers will be completed within three years."

"That's not necessarily the case. I think two years is about the same."

The crowd burst into laughter again. These infrastructure tasks were handed over to the national team, just two words, reliable.

An Ran thought for a while, "Whether it is the power generation array or the charging pile, they are the foundation for the automobile war. Unfortunately, until now, we still have only three partners. It may be possible in China. Conquest, the strength is still far behind."

An Ran's words made everyone fall into deep thought. The auto industry is too big, and the interests are intricate. BYD, Geely, and Great Wall are now determined to follow Luo Jia. The beginning of the car war is in full swing.

But in the process of expanding the lineup of Huaxia Automobile Alliance, Luo Jia encountered trouble.

The old forces refused to leave the field. They owned 90% of China's automobile production capacity, and the shop bullied customers. If Luo Jia did not cooperate with them, he would not be able to fight the global war in the automobile field anyway. Relying on their strength and tyranny, they raised many Luo Jia could not accept the conditions.

Things are more troublesome. The largest auto factories in China are all joint venture factories, which have a large share of international auto giants. If Luo Jia agrees to the conditions, it will be equivalent to pulling Toyota, Volkswagen, and other rivals into his camp.

The existence of opponents or enemies will always be defeated. No matter what, Luo Jia is unwilling to cooperate with opponents. He leads his brothers to work hard on research and development, and let Toyota and Volkswagen enjoy the benefits later?

Why! ?

So after thinking about it, Luo Jia resolutely withdrew from the negotiation with them. Now Luo Jia and the domestic auto giants are in an awkward confrontation period, and no one is willing to give in.

Luo Jia smiled, and said lightly: "It's no big deal, if it doesn't work, we'll do it ourselves."

"Geely, Great Wall, and BYD are not giants in the auto industry, so we will use capital and technology to train them to become giants!"

"Since the establishment of our Star Technology, we have never been afraid of anyone."

These two tough answers from Luo Jia made everyone feel great determination and confidence.

One of the reasons why Xingchen Technology has come to this day is its scientific research capabilities, and the other reason is that they are tough enough to endure hardships and fight. This is the foundation of the tough guys.

"Let's go to the pier, the ceremony is about to begin." Director Xu ran over and said to everyone.

So they went to the pier and saw two brand new semi-submersible installation vessels.

The huge mechanical arm is like the hand of a god. The complex mechanical structure can undertake a variety of marine engineering tasks. In addition to piling, building submarine platforms, installing wind turbines and multi-links, this kind of ship is also a good hand for building bridges.

The time points to twelve noon.

The reason why it took so long is because not one ship was delivered today, but all twelve construction ships were delivered.

In addition to these two Jiangnan Heavy Industry companies, there are also five companies including DSIC, Hudong Zhonghua, Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, and COSCO Shipbuilding, which started construction at the same time.

And today, the six major shipyards, with a total of twelve ships, will be delivered at the same time at 12:08 noon!

Woo~

The siren blew long, piercing the silence of the sea.

The third year of Star Technology's establishment, August 1st.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes and the cheers of countless shipbuilders, twelve large ships set off from six piers to the vast Pacific Ocean.

At this time, only ten days have passed since the release of the epoch-making silicon-lithium battery.
