The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The Ministry of Electronics Industry is a young department that was not established until 1982.

In May 1982, the state merged the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, the State Administration of Radio, Television and the State Administration of Computer Industry to establish the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

More than two years have passed, and the entire Ministry of Electronics Industry has not been completely straightened out.

For the fact that Panshan Group, a unit of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, went to produce computers, semiconductors and other industries, the State Administration of Computer Industry and the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building themselves had a lot of opinions, because this was coming to grab food from this plate.

But Panshan Group has mastered the core technology and produced advanced products.

Like Jinlong Computer, the world's best-selling personal computer.

Like the "Big Brother" mobile phone, this is the only one in the world except Motorola.

The head of the Ministry of Electronics Industry also immediately raised the question: "We have never heard of root servers. Is this reliable? There is also the second-generation wireless communication technology. The first-generation communication technology has not yet been popularized in Europe and the United States. We in China have just started to build and open it in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Kunming, and Hong Kong. Now talking about the second-generation wireless communication technology, is this a big step?"

This step is so big, and there is no fear of pulling the balls.

The head of the Ministry of Finance spoke first, "No money! Really no money! The total investment is 2000 billion, which is more than the entire country's fiscal revenue in ten years!"

In 1976, Martin Cooper, an engineer at Motorola in the United States, first applied radio to mobile phones. In the same year, the International Radio Conference approved the frequency allocation plan for the 800/900MHz band for mobile phones.

Many of them had never heard of it.

"Although the 1G system is already in Europe and the United States, it has many deficiencies and defects. Therefore, Europe, the United States, and Japan are exploring newer mobile communication technologies. If we don't do it, then when they develop it in the future, we will have to spend a huge amount of money to introduce it. The same construction cost will only be higher, not lower." Liu Tao said with certainty: "I am not saying that we should build 2G now, but to build it together with the Internet optical cable to avoid rebuilding."

This is intolerable!

But now, Panshan Group is actually reaching out to the communication field.

Other experts also spoke one after another. They have not studied and understood the first generation of mobile communication technology thoroughly, and they are still in a state of half-understanding. Now they are actually proposing to build the second generation of mobile communication technology, and even planning the third generation of mobile communication technology. This is unthinkable.

"The inherent deficiencies of the 1G system make it impossible to really popularize and apply it on a large scale. The price is even more expensive. We in China simply cannot really popularize it to everyone." Liu Tao said: "Now it is Hong Kong. Large-scale popularization and application are still very difficult. It will take at least three or four years."

When he thought of this number, he wanted to strangle Liu Tao directly.

As for the Internet, it is even more of a rarity.

"Where does such a huge investment come from? Our money is not blown by the wind. Even if the people of the whole country tighten their belts, it is estimated that it will not be built in 24 years."

As a result, Panshan Group changed the first-generation mobile communication system technology from military technology to civilian technology, and China only had a full-access communication system with a frequency band of 900MHz.

"The first-generation mobile communication technology is now an advanced technology, but we should know that it uses analog technology, and the capacity of the 1G system is very limited." Liu Tao said slowly: "In addition, there are also major problems with security and interference."

And the root server, local area network, Internet, etc., even if they are the most cutting-edge in the world, most of them have not been touched.

Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are led by the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and Panshan Group assists.

Now the first-generation mobile communication technology is in trial and has not been promoted, Liu Tao proposed the second-generation radio communication technology, and even the third-generation mobile communication technology appeared in the planning.

"Computer technology is developing very fast now. In Europe and the United States, some people even call it the computer revolution or the information revolution. That is to say, after the first industrial revolution, the 'steam engine revolution', and the second industrial revolution, the 'electrical revolution', we have ushered in the third industrial revolution, the 'computer revolution', or the 'information revolution'."

"If everyone does not eat or drink and invests all the money in this project, it will not be built in 24 years, not to mention 50 years."

The total investment of the project is 2000 billion. When he saw the investment amount, his heart almost stopped beating and his high blood pressure was about to attack.

The second generation of mobile communication technology is based on digital voice transmission technology. GSM is a standard uniformly launched by the European Committee for Standardization in 1992. It uses digital communication technology and unified network standards to ensure the quality of communication and develop more new services for users.

When talking about the first generation of mobile communication systems, we have to mention the famous Bell Labs. At the end of 1978, Bell Labs in the United States successfully developed the world's first mobile cellular phone system-the Advanced Mobile Phone System. In 1983, this system was officially put into commercial use in Chicago and quickly promoted throughout the United States, achieving great success.

There are also digital landline phones, which have made the original hand-cranked phones obsolete.

At the same time, European countries were not to be outdone and established their own first-generation mobile communication systems. Sweden and other four Nordic countries successfully developed the NMT-450 mobile communication network in 1980 and put it into use. The Federal Republic of Germany just completed the C network this year.

China had not even started in this regard.

At present, China's first-generation mobile communication system is being built and put into use in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Kunming, and Hong Kong.

The most advanced mobile communication technology in the world now is the first-generation mobile communication technology.

How dare Liu Tao propose such a large-scale investment.

However, in Kunming and Hong Kong, Panshan Group is completely in charge, and the Ministry of Electronics Industry has nothing to do with it.

And what about the root server? Is it so important! ?

Liu Tao listened to everyone's opinions, his face was normal, and he was not angry.

2000 billion, this is an astronomical figure.

Liu Tao's tone became heavy: "We missed the first industrial revolution, suffered the defeats in the two Opium Wars, suffered a series of humiliations in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and various unequal treaties almost forced us Chinese to perish. We missed the second industrial revolution and paid a huge price in the First World War and the Second World War. We were the victorious country, but no one cared about us, and we did not get the treatment that the victorious country deserved."

"Now the third industrial revolution is in front of us. Do we have to miss the industrial revolution again? What price will we have to pay for missing this industrial revolution?" Liu Tao does not want China to be just a spectator in this industrial revolution, but to become a participant and leader, to gain greater benefits from this industrial revolution, to complete China's modern industrialization in a shorter time, and to make China a modern industrial country and a powerful country.
