Although Huaxia Military Industrial Company is urgent for the R&D and production license of firepower equipment, Zhao Yi has no good solution. He can only go back and discuss the matter with the relevant departments to see if there is any possibility of solving it.
Because even if Zhao Yi approached the relevant departments to discuss the issue of firepower equipment, he would not be 100% successful, so he did not mention the matter to Yao Ziliang again. It would be useless to mention something that he was not sure about.
"How about the overall situation of the company? Give me an overview." Zhao Yi said to Yao Ziliang.
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Yao Ziliang straightened out his thoughts and said: "Since the establishment of the company, we have begun to take over relevant military equipment, technical data and personnel from other brother companies.
Fortunately, these tasks went relatively smoothly. It took about a month to basically transport all the military equipment data, and at the same time, the organizational relationship of the R&D personnel was also clarified.
However, we are still unable to build our headquarters building, R&D center and production plant. The main reason is that the time is short, and these buildings have high confidentiality requirements and are more time-consuming than ordinary civilian buildings.
So we currently rent office space with a more suitable environment. As for the R&D center, we rent an office space from Changhe Company.
As for the factories, we have only completed the construction of the helicopter production factory. Other military equipment production factories are under construction. It is expected that by the middle of this year, the construction of factories required for the production of various types of military equipment will be completed.
Now our company has a total of 3,500 R&D personnel, 500 administrative staff, and 1,000 factory workers, which means the total number of people in the company is 5,000. "
It is understandable that there are many R&D personnel. After all, there are too many types of military equipment involved, and the technical content of each military equipment is not low, and there are many problems that need to be solved.
Not to mention more than 3,000 people, if we really want to achieve the research and development goals Zhao Yi set for China Military Industrial Company, it is not surprising that the number of research and development personnel will reach tens of thousands.
It's just that there are currently too few talents in the field of military equipment research in China, and many of the talents are in major state-owned enterprises and units. Due to the high sensitivity of military equipment, it is very difficult to recruit talents from here.
This situation is different from that of aerospace science and industry. Although many technologies in the aerospace field can also be applied to military equipment, the sensitivity and interest involvement between the two are still very different.
Among the more than 3,000 researchers, only a handful are from other military industrial units, and most of the remaining personnel are R&D personnel trained by Zhao Yi's companies.
Military equipment research and development seems high-end, but in fact, if you break it down carefully, there are still many technologies that have great similarities with civilian technologies, but when it comes to equipment assembly, they are quite different from civilian needs.
If it were developed by itself from beginning to end, the more than 3,000 people would not be enough. In fact, these R&D personnel are mainly responsible for the overall design of military equipment. As for the research of major components, they are not needed.
Take aircraft design as an example. The most important aircraft engine is a product that meets the needs provided by Star Power. The required materials are provided by Cornerstone Materials Company, Avionics Precision Instrument Company is responsible for it, and other components are also handled by many companies.
It is precisely because the country already has a strong industrial industry group that China Military Industrial Company can be established and fully utilize the power of the entire industrial industry group to complete the research, development and manufacturing of high-end military equipment.
Moreover, the domestic cutting-edge industrial manufacturing field is basically in the hands of its own brother companies. This is very convenient for the research and development of Huaxia Military Industrial Company, and it can communicate and cooperate more closely with various brother companies.
As for the number of administrative personnel, it is determined based on the actual needs of the company, but not everyone can come in. They need to undergo a strict review process before they can enter the company to work, and the signed agreements are much stricter than ordinary companies outside.
The small number of factory workers is mainly determined by two factors. The first is that the current production of military equipment is not on track yet. It is all in the trial production stage and there are not that many orders.
The second is that the equipment production line introduced by Huaxia Military Industrial Company is very intelligent and does not require a large number of production line workers.
Although Zhao Yi is more concerned about employment issues, the military industry is very sensitive. The more people involved, the greater the possibility of leaks. Therefore, Zhao Yi has no objection to the use of highly automated smart devices. .
If it weren't for the fact that the final assembly of military equipment is much more complex than milk production, some places would still require manual labor to complete the work. Otherwise, it would be better if an unmanned chemical factory was launched.
So from this aspect, these 1,000 people are not too small. Even compared to the current production demand, they have already hired a lot more people. The number of workers here will not be too large for a long time to come. Big increase.
However, these workers do not include workers in warship manufacturing, because in any case, current ship manufacturing requires a large amount of manpower to complete, especially the manufacturing of warships.
However, the manufacture of warships is not used for general military equipment. You will not build one yourself first, and then ask someone from the military to come and see if you need to purchase it.
Instead, the relevant design parameters are reported to the military personnel in advance, so that they can see if it is the warship they need. The military personnel then order a small number of test products, and the Huaxia Military Industrial Company will produce them according to the order.
Otherwise, after Huaxia Military Industrial Company manufactures it itself, if it does not meet the requirements of the military, it will be difficult to dispose of it, and it cannot sell the product to others casually. It can only dismantle it itself, which is a complete waste of resources.
Moreover, the unit price of warship products is generally very high, especially high-tech warship products. If they are not favored by the military, the losses in this part will be very large.
Although the unit price of military aircraft is not low, the degree of recyclability is still different. Even if military aircraft are not recognized, the various components can be disassembled and continued to be used in other places, with less waste and small losses. Much more.
"Has the military sent an inspection team over for inspection?" Zhao Yi asked.
“When it was decided at the annual meeting to put the military equipment design into trial production, we immediately contacted the relevant military departments when we got back and invited them to come over for inspection.
Since the military equipment we design is currently at the world's leading level, although there is no generation gap between many of the equipment and the world's leading military equipment, there is still a generation gap compared to our country's military equipment.
So after we invited them to see our relevant design parameters, they immediately placed experimental orders. Our current work is mainly to complete these experimental orders. Yao Ziliang replied.
This result did not exceed Zhao Yi's expectations. Although the military equipment developed and produced by Huaxia Military Industrial Company did not surpass the generation gap of the world's mainstream military equipment, the overall performance was still at the forefront of the world.
Compared with our country's current military equipment, it is a generation gap. If there are no experimental orders for these military equipment, it is really unreasonable.
In fact, it's not that Huaxia Military Industrial Company can't develop more advanced military equipment, but it's that they have never engaged in R&D and manufacturing in this area before, so they can't take too big a step at once.
Moreover, the current international situation is becoming more and more delicate. As part of our country's bid to keep a low profile, we cannot do anything too outrageous, lest we attract global attention to us and have a major impact on the existing world structure.
Of course, the most important thing is that the military equipment currently developed by China Military Industrial Corporation is sufficient to meet my country's current national defense needs and to achieve local defense and offshore defense goals.
"Then your task is a bit tight. All experimental military equipment needs to be manufactured before the end of the year, and enough time needs to be reserved for the military to conduct testing, which will take a long time.
Moreover, after testing and placing formal orders, they still need to spend a long time training operators. There is still a big difference between the military equipment system we are currently developing and the equipment system currently used in China.
According to your statement, all factories will not be completed until the middle of the year, and only half a year will be used for actual production. The time is still a bit rushed. " Zhao Yi said.
Although Zhao Yi's tone showed that he was a little dissatisfied with the current progress, Yao Ziliang did not feel dissatisfied, because in his opinion, this was already the fastest speed, and many things could not be speeded up by speeding up.
"This is already our limit, and it is impossible to move forward any further. Moreover, this is not our business alone. We also need various parts suppliers to speed up the progress, otherwise we are just like a skilled woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
However, according to the situation reflected in various aspects, all our military equipment will be able to complete experimental orders before this year bottoms out.
Especially for naval military equipment, in order to complete the progress, we have invited Haiyan Shipbuilding Company and China State Shipbuilding Corporation to assist. Otherwise, there is no need to think about completing the task before the year. Yao Ziliang responded.
The naval military equipment Yao Ziliang mentioned here currently only includes guided missile destroyers and frigates. The tonnage of these ships is not very large, so the manufacturing difficulty is much easier and the manufacturing cycle is much shorter.
Like other naval ships, it is basically impossible to complete them within a year. However, according to the requirements, these large ships are estimated to have begun construction at various shipyards, otherwise it will be too late.
This is also the main reason why Haiyan Shipping Company was desperately building so many shipyards before. According to the merchant ship orders they had at that time, there was simply no need for so many shipyards.
Except that Zhao Yi really thinks that my country's commercial shipbuilding has great potential in the future, my country's commercial shipbuilding capabilities were very good in the past life, and it shared most of the world's commercial shipbuilding orders with South Korea.
More importantly, Zhao Yi had to create good conditions for the naval ship manufacturing of the Huaxia Military Industrial Company, which had not yet been established at the time. He could not start considering these issues until the end of the matter, otherwise it would be too late.
Not long after the end of the Cold War in the previous life, Yingjiang began to engage in foreign wars. The unipolar world is actually much more dangerous than the bipolar or multipolar world.
Although our country gained national prestige during the 1950 war and enjoyed decades of peace, after so many years, the eagle sauce that successfully defeated the polar bear will surely swell.
A country with extremely inflated self-confidence is actually very dangerous. It is hard to say whether the national prestige that our country has displayed in the past can still deter the other party.
Although we also have our own confidence in localized operations, after all, no matter whether we win or lose in a war that takes place on our own soil, we will suffer the most.
The best way is to use your own strength to intimidate the other party so that the other party does not dare to act rashly, so that everyone can live in peace. This is why Zhao Yi is particularly concerned about the time when these military equipment will be put into large-scale service.
Only then, after our country has completed the construction of a military force that is enough to deter the other party, will the other party be able to sit down calmly and negotiate to resolve some issues of interest.
At present, our country's political interests in the world are not actually that many, but with our country's rapid development in recent years, our economic interests are becoming more and more widely distributed around the world, and the number involved is also getting larger and larger.
Among them, Zhao Yi's own interests account for a major proportion. If our country's overseas interests are damaged, then his interests will definitely bear the brunt. This is very certain.
So no matter what others think, he himself is very enthusiastic about developing our country's national defense strength. This not only involves our country's national interests, but also involves his personal interests.
As mentioned before, when your business grows big enough, it is not a question of whether you are willing to get into disputes, but that others will take the initiative to take advantage of you. This is not based on personal will.
This is true for individuals, but it is not true for countries. Our country's economic development is still relatively dependent on the international market. If we want the economy to continue to develop, we must ensure that our country's overseas interests are not infringed.
How can we prevent the other party from invading our interests easily? Then we can only increase the power of our fists. In the past life, a group of capitulationists on the Internet felt that if we did not take the initiative to provoke the other party, it seemed that the other party would let us go. .
This kind of thinking is actually very naive. Not to mention that the differences between the two major civilizations are very big, but their process of developing and strengthening themselves is a history of invasion and war.
Using fists to fight for one's own interests has been deeply rooted in their bones, and it is impossible to change their nature in a short time.
The idea of placing one's own safety in the charity and mercy of others is either really naive or has very sinister intentions.
A very typical example is, "Why is Yingjiang only targeting us?" This question was very popular in the early days. It seems that Yingjiang is targeting us, which is the result of our proactive provocation and the result of our not actively cooperating with Yingjiang.
Although when this issue was popular at that time, our country's economy was not enough to pose a big threat to Eagle Sauce, at least that was how ordinary people felt. The gap between the two sides was still very large.
But those professionals didn't see it that way, because at that time, our country's economic growth was more than 10% every year. If it really continues to grow according to this trend, it is a high probability that it will catch up with Eagle Sauce.
In order to avoid this happening, it was inevitable that we would be deliberately targeted. Fortunately, at that time, the "collapse theory" was very popular internationally, and this discussion seemed to help us to a certain extent.
But even so, they kept causing troubles for us, and many very unpleasant things happened to us. However, our goals were clearer and we did not fall into the other party's preset tit-for-tat confrontation.
Why did this question become less popular later? Because at that time, our country's economic strength was very close to that of Eagle Sauce, and its military strength had also been greatly improved.
Even though the suppression we face becomes more and more intense, and more and more methods are used, even to the point of disregarding face and diplomatic principles, this has also allowed the people of our country to see the true face of the matter.
In this fierce international confrontation, our people will naturally stand on the side of national interests. At this time, those "public intellectuals" suddenly lose their popularity.
Because the more intense the confrontation, the true nature of the matter will be revealed. At this time, the people will also be able to understand more of the true internal causes, so the deception of the "public intellectuals" will not be so easy, and it will be very easy to be exposed.
Another question is even more interesting, "Any country that is friends with Yingjiang has become a developed country, and any country that is against Yingjiang has not fared well."
Since Western countries were relatively developed before and could not reflect the accuracy of this question, they compared Japan and South Korea. These two countries also faced a situation of poverty and poverty after the end of World War II.
As a result, in just a dozen years, with the help of Eagle Sauce, it has developed into an economically developed country. Therefore, in the eyes of "public intellectuals", not all those who are friends with Eagle Sauce will receive support from Eagle Sauce. .
There seems to be no problem with the logic of this question on the surface, but they ignore the essential differences between our country and these two countries.
First of all, our country is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and Japan and South Korea are just the fringe areas of these cultures. They can abandon these cultures without any burden, but we cannot, because if we abandon these, are we still China
Some people also believe that our culture is the fundamental reason for our backwardness. This statement was once very popular and regarded our country's traditional culture as dross.
Yes, the culture of that country has both excellence and dross. Don’t always magnify our problems alone. As long as we get rid of the dross, keep the excellence, and optimize and improve it, it is two different things than completely abandoning it.
And from a time scale, the West has only been developed for a few years, and we have been developed for many years. We cannot completely deny ourselves because of our temporary backwardness, because no civilization dares to guarantee that it will prosper forever.
Moreover, the development of modern science has both inevitability and contingency. Its inevitability is that as time goes by, human beings' understanding of nature continues to strengthen, and a modern scientific system will one day be born.
Its contingency refers to the place where it appeared. Modern science originated from the Renaissance in the West, but the fundamental purpose of the Renaissance was not science, but to oppose religious rule.
A more accurate discussion of nature is the most effective weapon against religious rule. This is the fundamental reason why so many people in the West want to delve into natural research. It was only later that it developed and formed a modern scientific system.
At that time, religion did not occupy the mainstream ideology in our country. It was a completely secular society. There was no need to oppose theocratic authority at all, and there was no systematic study of nature.
Therefore, the birth of modern science in the West was just an accident caused by a certain event. It does not mean that Western civilization is naturally compatible with modern science.
Later facts also illustrate this point. In our civilization system, science is slowly catching up, but because the time is still short and the accumulation is not enough, it is still a little behind the world's top level.
But as long as we are given enough time, this gap will eventually be smoothed out. Differences in culture and civilization are not the fundamental cause of the gap in modern science.
Because seeking the truth of nature is the common pursuit of all civilizations, it has been so since ancient times. It is just that some are more urgent and some are not so urgent. They are casual and peaceful. This is the main reason.
Secondly, the size of our country is not at the same level as that of Japan and South Korea. If we want to live the lives of people in developed countries, we cannot rely on charity from others.
Let alone Eagle Sauce, even if the whole world comes to help us, it will be difficult for us to become a developed country in a short time, because our size is too large and our population is too large. It cannot be accomplished with outside help.
Therefore, if we want to live the same life as people in developed countries, we must work hard ourselves and create more wealth with our own hands. The help of others is the icing on the cake at most.
Moreover, once a country of our size develops, it will play a decisive role in the world. As the world's number one power, no one is allowed to threaten its status.
Let alone Japan and South Korea, even if European countries truly form a unified country, they will also be suppressed by the world's most powerful country. This is determined by national interests, not by similarities and differences in civilizations.
Examples are also very easy to find. When the Eurozone was formed, they did a lot of things behind the scenes in order to prevent the euro from posing a threat to the US dollar as the global reserve currency and settlement currency.
Even if RB's economy has fallen into a long-term stagnation, Yingjiang's contribution is not lacking. Anyone who poses a threat will be suppressed by them. This situation cannot be changed, and wishful thinking is completely unacceptable.
This is far away, so I won’t talk about it anymore. (End of chapter)
