The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Eight days passed quickly.

In addition to accompanying his family, Liu Tao also dealt with official business.

Visited old friends and got some orders.

Then he had to leave the capital and return to the city.

The climate in Yunnan Province in May was already quite good, with daytime temperatures of about 24 or 25 degrees and nighttime temperatures of 14 or 15 degrees.

After Liu Tao arrived in Kun City, he first visited Wang Tiezhu.

Although the two are not subordinate to each other now and are on an equal footing in terms of rank, Liu Tao is very grateful to Wang Tiezhu.

If it weren't for Wang Tiezhu's appreciation and promotion of him, he would never have gotten to where he is now.

Moreover, after he took over Panshan Machinery Factory, Wang Tiezhu helped him a lot, coordinating supporting factories, coordinating railway transportation, and coordinating electricity and water power.

It can be said that leisure guaranteed the development of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Wang Tiezhu saw Liu Tao again, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up to greet him.

Wang Tiezhu has a deep affection for Panshan Machinery Factory. After all, Panshan Machinery Factory was built from scratch during his tenure, and he spent a full ten years in Panshan Machinery Factory.

Moreover, when he arrived at the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office, Panshan Machinery Factory also greatly supported his work and helped him solve many problems.

Wang Tiezhu went to Beijing to participate in the discussion meeting on the problems and development of the third-line factories. It was quite easy. No provincial defense management office in the country was as relaxed as him, and did not have to face the troubles of the third-line factories.

Even now, all the third-line factories in Yunnan Province are profitable and developing rapidly.

In the past two years, Panshan Machinery Factory has cultivated supporting factories and let the third-line factories produce screws, telescopes and other parts, so that these third-line factories have developed with the development of Panshan Machinery Factory every year.

Panshan Machinery Factory has money and will pay these supporting factories regularly without any arrears.

In addition, the large-scale expansion of Panshan Machinery Factory has also driven the development of building materials such as cement, steel, sand and gravel. The design institute and construction team are not short of work, which makes Wang Tiezhu always feel proud when he sees other people.

And Liu Tao always comes to visit him, the old factory director, when he goes to Kun City.

Liu Tao and Wang Tiezhu talked about the restructuring of Panshan Machinery Factory and the headquarters of Huaxia Panshan Group will be located in Kunming after the restructuring.

"It is better to place it in Kunming, and the transportation is more convenient. Do you plan to place it in the city or somewhere else?" Wang Tiezhu asked.

"Place it in Haikou, where there is Factory 356. It is close to Factory 356 near Dianchi Lake in Haikou, which is convenient for doing some things. And we are not in the civilian field after all, so it is not suitable for densely populated areas, which is not conducive to confidentiality." Liu Tao has thought about this.

Before going to 356 to check the construction progress, Liu Tao also went to the surrounding area for inspection.

It is really in the suburbs. Although the terrain is relatively flat, it is about 30 kilometers away from the city. It is a suburb in the suburbs. There are few people there, and there are more land and fewer people.

Even Liu Tao has chosen the location.

Wang Tiezhu nodded. Confidentiality is the first priority of military factories.

Once the secrets are leaked, it is easy to cause serious consequences.

Confidentiality and security are two very important cores of any military factory.

After returning to Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao formally established the headquarters preparatory team.

As the leader of the preparatory team, he selected three deputy factory directors as deputy leaders. The entire preparatory team had as many as 100 members.

Liu Tao took the topographic map, and the red line frame on it had been circled, which was as large as 10 square kilometers, or 15,000 acres of land.

The terrain in this area is relatively flat, with an altitude of 1,900 to 2,000 meters, all forests and fields!

According to Liu Tao's planning ideas, the Huaxia Panshan Group Corporation is located in the middle, and the Huaxia Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and the Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation are located on both sides. They are not subordinate to each other, and each has its own headquarters building, office area, research institute, and dormitory area.

Such a large piece of land also includes shopping malls and the like.

This part is used as a connection with the outside world.

Unlike the current Panshan Machinery Factory, which is completely closed, the headquarters is semi-closed.

Hospitals, shopping malls, etc. are shared with people in the surrounding area.

However, the headquarters will be semi-closed and no strangers are allowed to enter.

Even the park will be a semi-closed park.

After Liu Tao explained to the preparatory team, he naturally handed it over to the preparatory team to handle the matter, including land ownership, land acquisition and resettlement of immigrants.

Of course, it also includes design.

This kind of design naturally cannot be handed over to European and American countries, after all, it involves confidentiality.

Afterwards, Liu Tao did not put too much energy into the headquarters. There were so many people in the preparatory team. If he had to do everything himself, what was the point of setting up the headquarters preparatory team.

Liu Tao focused his energy on a group of young college students, a full 100 people.

Liu Tao taught them how to use office software, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

These can greatly improve office efficiency.

For example, entering information, writing manuscripts, etc.

Zhao Guoping was also in this study. This time he brought ten cadres from the combined brigade to study.

These computers were all produced by Panshan Machinery Factory itself, with a computing power of 3 million times/second, which is definitely the top level in personal computers.

Each of those who came to participate in the training has undergone strict political review and signed a confidentiality agreement.

After all, the computers he made were too advanced.

It is at least five or six years ahead of the personal computer market.

As for these office software, they can greatly improve office efficiency, instead of having to write them manually, which is too slow.

If we talk about who in this era knows personal computers the best in the world, it is probably Liu Tao.

Even Jobs and others are probably not as good as Liu Tao in personal computers.

Only Liu Tao deeply knows how much change computers will bring to the world, so much so that it was later called the third industrial revolution.

He did not think that it was not realistic to engage in the Internet at this time, because there were too few people who knew computers.

There were not many people in the country who knew computers.

He asked Jinlong Computer to donate a batch of computers to colleges and universities every year, and cooperate with colleges and universities to develop computer-related majors, in order to cultivate talents.

Only with a certain foundation can personal computers be popularized and the Internet be realized.

And this time will take at least ten years.

In the short term, it is already very good to be able to realize the local area network and the interconnection of various factories within Panshan Machinery Factory.

And this time, Liu Tao plans to use three years.

It takes about three years to cultivate people who know how to work and research with computers.

Secondly, it takes about three years to build the network and these factories and headquarters.

For many things, it is not that he can popularize the technology just because he has mastered the technology.

Because the popularization of technology also takes time.

This time must be patiently waited for, step by step, and cannot be achieved overnight.
