The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The Spring Festival has just passed.

Liu Tao set out to return to the city.

In addition to Liu Honglei's family, Liu Tao was accompanied by four of his students.

In addition to Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, who are both majoring in computer science, there is another majoring in engine and another majoring in automation.

They will all be at the Panshan Group headquarters for a long time, and may not be able to go home once a year.

"Wow, this is Kun City? Such a wide road!" Liu Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed.

This is already the highway from Kun City to the Panshan Group headquarters, with four lanes in one direction and eight lanes in two directions, and fences on both sides of the road.

At this time, the speed has soared to 120 kilometers per hour.

Not long after, they arrived at the Panshan Group headquarters.

When they saw the Panshan Group headquarters, Liu Ziyu and the others were shocked and dumbfounded!

What came into view were four buildings, one of which was still under construction, but the four buildings were very high, which could not be seen in Beijing at all.

Is Yun Province still a border province, an economically backward province! ?

Where is Kun City and where is Beijing?

Liu Tao had a calm face. He was shocked when he came here for the first time.

Then, Liu Tao took them to the top floor of Panshan Group's headquarters building. In addition to his office, there were also reception rooms, secretarial offices, etc.

There was a special office where his students were.

At this time, his other two students were also there.

"Teacher, who are these four?" Huang Qiang seemed to have guessed something, but was not sure.

Zhao Hua blurted out: "Could they be junior brothers and sisters?"

Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua were Liu Tao's graduate students last year. They both studied undergraduate courses at Beijing University of Technology. After graduate school, Huang Qiang chose the field of firearms design, and Zhao Hua chose the field of artillery.

They usually study on their own and complete the tasks assigned by Liu Tao. Liu Tao conducts spot checks every month when he returns to Panshan Group. They can ask questions. At the same time, Huang Qiang participated in the small-caliber gun design group, and Zhao Hua participated in the self-propelled howitzer design group.

Small-caliber guns are a national-level project organized by the state to develop a military small-caliber automatic rifle.

Previously, the caliber of the national rifle bullet was 7.62 mm, but as major countries in Europe, America and the Soviet Union are using small-caliber ammunition or are developing small-caliber ammunition, work in this area has been put on the agenda.

In recent years, research institutes have gradually produced small-caliber firearms, but none of them are very ideal and are not as good as the Type 78 automatic rifle.

The self-propelled howitzer, on the basis of Liu Tao's research, needs to be improved, including range, rate of fire, accuracy, etc.

It is difficult for normal undergraduate graduates to participate in these design groups, and only Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua have this rare opportunity.

Liu Tao smiled lightly and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Huang Qiang, majoring in firearms design; this is Zhao Hua, majoring in artillery design. They are your senior brothers."

"This is Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, undergraduate students at Tsinghua University, majoring in computer science; Li Yuemin and Lin Xing, your juniors are also junior brothers, Li Yuemin majors in engines, and Lin Xing majors in automation!" Liu Tao introduced.

Li Yuemin, whose parents are both engineers from FAW, has been fond of tinkering since he was a child. He knew the problems of China's automobile industry, especially the biggest shortcoming in engines, so Li Yuemin did not hesitate to apply for the engine major of Beijing University of Technology after the college entrance examination.

Lin Xing came from a poor family in a poor and backward mountain village. His family was penniless. His parents borrowed money from all over the place, including relatives and friends. The school helped him in various ways, but they could only send him to high school, and then they had no ability to continue to send him to college. At that time, he also thought about dropping out of school, because he knew that his parents really tried their best, and the family could no longer afford to send him to school. Although the country waived tuition, his family could not even afford the travel expenses.

In the end, their village and town felt that this was the first college student in the village and town, and his college entrance examination scores were so good, so everyone contributed some money and finally raised a sum of money for him to go to college.

Lin Xing went to college and studied very hard, with the best grades. Relying on scholarships and government subsidies, he not only never asked his family for a penny, but even sent two to three thousand yuan back home every year in recent years.

In the choice given by Liu Tao, Lin Xing chose the government without hesitation.

He now has six students, and Lin Xing is the only one who comes from a truly poor family. His self-improvement moved Liu Tao.

"Huang Qiang, Zhao Hua, you will take the junior brothers and sisters to the dormitory later, take them to buy daily necessities, and familiarize them with the headquarters." Liu Tao said, "In the next three days, you will go together to receive confidentiality regulations training."

Huang Qiang hurriedly said: "Yes, teacher!"

"By the way, you will go to the logistics department later to apply for four computers with the same configuration as you." Liu Tao seemed to remember something and ordered.

"Understood!" Huang Qiang responded.

The computers used in their office are all high-configuration Jinlong computers, which are sold for $10,000 each in the United States.

It can be said that they are worth a lot of money.

And this is also theirs, otherwise, let alone high-configuration computers, even ordinary computers are not available.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Tao brought them to the Southwest Associated University campus. The Southwest Associated University campus is only 1,000 meters away from the Panshan Group headquarters. This 1,000-meter distance mainly includes roads, green belts, and dormitory areas.

In addition to a mountain of about 200 meters in the middle of the entire campus, there are two reservoirs. This mountain will be preserved, and the two reservoirs will be used for renovation to form an artificial lake.

Four dormitory areas, the National Internet Center (Kun City), the supercomputing center, four libraries, teaching buildings, and laboratory buildings are under construction at the same time.

On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, construction officially started here.

"Teacher, how long will it take to build this campus?" Chen Nianzhen asked curiously.

The entire "Southwest Associated University" campus is too large, including the dormitory area, affiliated kindergarten, affiliated primary school, affiliated middle school, etc., which is as large as 8,000 acres, much larger than Tsinghua Park.

Now there are more than 10,000 people working here, and there are all kinds of construction machinery. The scene is really spectacular.

"'Southwest Associated University' is expected to be completed in four years." Liu Tao smiled lightly.

Next, Yunnan Province will continue to organize construction teams. At the peak, the number of construction workers is expected to exceed 30,000, and the entire university city around Dianchi Lake is expected to have more than 100,000 construction workers.

In six years, the university town around Dianchi Lake will be officially established.

Of course, it will take four years for the Southwest Associated University campus to be fully built, but it does not mean that there will be students after four years. On the contrary, students may move into the new campus after National Day.

The entire campus is now a large construction site, but it is drizzling in the sky, so the dust is not flying.

After a round, Liu Tao asked Liu Ziyu and others to go back, and he went to the city with the guards.

The next step is the construction of the subway project around Dianchi Lake, which is a big project.

There are already 4,000 monthly tickets, thank you for your monthly tickets!
