Chapter 186 Planning for Repatriation Investment
Facing the threat implied in the words of the number one spy of the Soviet KGB Far East Bureau in front of him, Yang Weiping felt quite unhappy in his heart.
"General Punilev, what can be done and what cannot be done. I don't think I need Your Excellency to remind you yet!" Yang Weiping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at the other party's eagle-sharp blue eyes without blinking, and said with a sneer:
"You have your position, I have my principles. Offending the Soviet Union will not do me the slightest benefit, and at the same time, if you Soviet Union provoke me, it will also do you all kinds of harm but no benefit! I will never accept threats from any country, organization, or person!"
"Hehe, Mr. Yang, I think you misunderstood. Punilev and Yang Weiping looked at each other for about a minute, and then smiled calmly: "I'm not a threat, it's a completely kind reminder, and a piece of advice to a friend." ”
The corners of Yang Weiping's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled indifferently noncommittally, "General Punilev, if it is a good intention, I accept it." I'm a scientist and a businessman, and I'm not interested in politics.
When the Soviet Union allowed foreign capital to invest, I hope you will tell me as soon as possible that although the ruble is cute, the green dollar can be used all over the world. The Soviet Union has indeed made remarkable achievements in military heavy industry, but in terms of daily necessities, it is slightly unsatisfactory compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States. ”
"Yes, we do have a gap with Western capitalist countries in terms of daily necessities and household appliances. Punilev nodded approvingly and said: "The comrades in the country may not think it yet, but we, the intelligence workers who are running around all over the world. But it is deeply experienced and touched. ”
"I think we may have opportunities to work together in this area in the future. Yang Weiping smiled and said, "General Punilev, do you not want to have a big manor as comfortable as the Yang family's manor after retirement, and take your wife and children to share the joy of family?"
Punirev's eyes couldn't help but show a look of envy, but it was fleeting.
"I am a person who receives a government salary, and it is impossible for me to be as rich as Mr. Yang in my life. Punilev said with a sigh of emotion.
"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared first. The smile on Yang Weiping's face. He was full of temptation like an evil spirit, and said with a smile: "Based on my research on the economy of the world, I believe that sooner or later the Soviet Union will implement an open policy to attract foreign investment in the Soviet Union.
This is an inevitable trend of global economic development, and it cannot be stopped by any so-called ideology. Everyone yearns for a happy life of material abundance. Society needs a high degree of material civilization development.
General Punilev, remember our conversation today, a maximum of five years, the great Soviet Union. We will certainly warmly welcome investors like me, who have abundant funds and use superior technical resources, to invest in all walks of life in the Soviet Union!"
"I'll remember. Mr. Yang. Punilev said solemnly. After finishing speaking, he suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Yang, I heard that you have developed a new type of rifle with higher accuracy and greater power on the basis of the M16 assault rifle in the United States.
"Absolutely. Who made us friends?" Yang Weiping nodded generously and smiled: "Good things, of course, you have to share them with good friends, General Punilev, what do you say?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, I'm sure we'll be good friends. Punilev smiled with a deep smile in his eyes.
In 1974, the AK series of rifles underwent a radical change. AK74 rifles firing 5.45x39mm rounds appeared.
As a high-ranking member of the KGB, Punilev, of course, always attaches great importance to the emergence of new weapons in the countries of the world.
Yang Weiping didn't plan to hide the M16A2 at all, so he was happy to send a favor to Punilev.
To put it bluntly, Yang Weiping didn't take M16A2 in his eyes. In his mind. The small-caliber gun family that will be installed for the Chinese army in the future is one of the two best rifles in the world, the Belgian SCAR rifle and the German HK-416, which are listed as the top ten guns in the world.
Ivanov and Simonov, after learning that Yang Weiping and Punilev had reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation, were quite excited, and immediately pestered Yang Weiping to discuss how to design the new T10 heavy fighter more perfectly.
This opportunity to meet the most famous fighter designers of the Soviet Union face-to-face, Yang Weiping certainly did not miss it. Through this exchange, he was able to gain a systematic knowledge and understanding of the current aerospace materials of the Soviet Union.
Y2013 is exchanged for two high-strength superalloys, BT35 and BT36, which are in the existing titanium alloy series alloys in the Soviet Union, which is of great significance to Huaxia's research on titanium alloys.
At present, the countries of the world divide the existing titanium alloys into three categories: α titanium alloys, β titanium alloys, and α+β titanium alloys.
α titanium alloys
Titanium alloy is a single-phase alloy composed of α-phase solid solution, whether it is at the general temperature or at a higher practical application temperature, it is a α phase, with stable structure, higher wear resistance than pure titanium, and strong oxidation resistance. At the temperature of 500C~600C, it still maintains its strength and creep resistance, but it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, and the strength is not high at room temperature.
β titanium alloy
It is a single-phase alloy composed of β phase solid solution, which has high strength without heat treatment, and the alloy is further strengthened after quenching and aging, and the strength can reach 1372~1666MPa at room temperature, but the thermal stability is poor, and it is not suitable for use at high temperature.
α + β titanium alloy
It is a duplex alloy, which has good comprehensive properties, good microstructure stability, good toughness, plasticity and high-temperature deformation properties, can be better for hot pressure processing, quenching and aging to strengthen the alloy. The strength after heat treatment is about 50%~100% higher than that of annealing, and the high temperature strength is high, and it can work for a long time at a temperature of 400C~500C, and its thermal stability is inferior to that of α titanium alloy.
Among the three titanium alloys, α titanium alloy and α+β titanium alloy are the most commonly used, and α titanium alloy has the best machinability, followed by α+p titanium alloy. β titanium alloy is the worst.
Since the fifties, Huaxia has been researching high-temperature titanium alloys, and the results achieved are basically not comparable with those of the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In terms of high-strength titanium alloy research, there is even a blank.
Yang Weiping's preparation for Giant's second mountain bike is a high-strength titanium alloy in the α+β titanium alloy.
This titanium alloy has higher plasticity and hardenability than BT22, a high-strength titanium alloy that should be more widely used in the Soviet Union. However, it is slightly inferior to the newly developed BT35 in the Soviet Union.
This time, BT35 and BT36 were brought from the Soviet Union, and Yang Weiping was confident that he would study high-temperature titanium alloys and high-strength titanium alloys with better performance in the future.
Because, adding an appropriate amount of rare earth elements to titanium alloy and aluminum alloy, its performance can be significantly improved.
China has agreed that he will return to China to invest in the construction of a large-scale smelter in Baiyun Ebo. It has the largest rare earth mine in the world. However, countries have not yet realized the importance of rare earths. Huaxia has no concept of this.
Yang Weiping's purpose is very clear, this smelter will be the largest titanium alloy smelting base in China.
Huaxia not only has the largest number of rare earth resources in the world, but also one of the countries with the largest ilmenite resources in the world.
Titanium is not a rare metal, and the reserves of titanium on the earth are 16 times the total amount of copper, nickel, lead and zinc. The specific gravity of titanium is only 1/2 that of iron, but it can withstand hammering and drawing like copper. In the ultra-low temperature world, titanium becomes harder and has the properties of a superconductor, while steel becomes fragile and impotent.
Titanium has a strong resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. It will not rust if it is immersed in the sea for 5 years, but the steel will corrode and deteriorate in the seawater. Titanium alloys were used to make hulls for ships. Seawater cannot corrode it. The "titanium submarine" made of titanium alloy can dive to a depth of 4,500 meters, and the general steel submarine is easily crushed by water pressure at more than 300 meters.
The "titanium airliner" is solid and lightweight, a large "titanium airliner" can carry more than 100 people than the same heavy ordinary aircraft, and the aircraft can exceed 3,000 kilometers per hour, while the aluminum alloy aircraft is up to 2,400 kilometers.
In the aerospace industry, titanium can be made into the "coat" of spacecraft to protect against high temperatures. Titanium can also be combined with nickel to make a "memory alloy" with a memory function. If the car shell made of this "memory alloy" is deformed in a crash, it only needs to be rinsed with hot water above 0C. This will restore the shape of the car to its original shape.
Warships and ships are made of titanium, without painting, and they will not rust after sailing in seawater for several years. Since titanium is not a ferromagnetic substance, it cannot be detected by magnetic mines, which is particularly important in military affairs. Without the heat-resistant steel made of titanium, rifles and machine guns currently in use would only have a lifespan of the first 4.5 seconds.
Yang Weiping knew too well the wide range of uses of titanium alloy in military and civilian use, so he chose to return to China and engage in titanium alloy smelting for the first time. The three places he asked for in the country. However, the three largest rare earth smelting bases in China in later generations!
Titanium alloy + rare earth = endless wealth!
Engine research can be a joint venture with the government, but this kind of huge and incomparably profitable titanium alloy + rare earth smelting, Yang Weisan will never give up even a little bit of shares. Even the Field family has no share in this investment.
The first industry to invest in after returning to China was selected as Mongolian Province. Another reason is that Mongolia is close to the Soviet Union, so that he can travel freely between China and the Soviet Union at any time in the future.
Now that we have established ties with the Soviet Union, we must consolidate this relationship step by step! Through Punilev, we will then have a good relationship with the sons and daughters of the local military leaders of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District, and use a luxurious life to corrupt these second-generation Soviet military and second-generation officials to death, and we are not afraid that they will not be tricked.
got the desired result, and Yang Weiping no longer hid anything from Ivanov and Simonov. In Yang Weiping's study, the three of them fought for four days and four nights without sleep or food, and not only restored the three Su-27 drawings burned by Yang Weiping, but also made more reasonable improvements in some aspects.
And the grade of material used for each part is marked one by one.
Qian Lao and Tang Weimin, Yang Weiping, Zhilu Dao, Ivanov, the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and Simonov, the deputy general division, jointly designed an epoch-making heavy fighter, and they were also secretly overjoyed. Therefore, he didn't bother Yang Weiping.
It's just that on the morning of the third day when Yang Weiping redrew the design of the Su-27, a group of guests came to the Yang manor that surprised Qian Lao and Tang Xinmin very much.
Jiang Jingguo, the eldest son of Lao Jiang, did not expect to meet the old man in Kenya.
After An Peiya returned to Taiwan from Hong Kong, the two directors of the Intelligence Bureau of Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense and the National Security Bureau almost fought for merit. Neither of the two bureaus was willing to give up such a great achievement, and in the end, the two bureau chiefs could only take An Peiya together to meet the supreme leader of the party-state.
Chiang Ching-kuo, who was busy with the election of the sixth president of Taiwan's National Government, was as excited as if he had been beaten when he learned that Scientist Yang intended to invest in Taiwan.
The current governments of various countries in the world world would be too out if they did not know the deeds of the great scientist Yang Dao.
Chiang Ching-kuo arranged all the work of the presidential campaign as quickly as possible, traveled lightly, and secretly flew from Taiwan to New York, and then transferred from New York to Nairobi, Kenya.
Yang Weiping had already secretly told Hu Jinfu that if there were guests from Taiwan, there was no need to stop them, and they would notify the checkpoints outside to let them go directly.
Therefore, after An Peiya got in touch with the Yang family's estate, she smoothly took Jiang Jingguo and his party and drove into the Yang family's estate, and Hu Jinfu arranged to live in a presidential suite in the second building.
Scientist Yang was talking to two scientific research planes from the Soviet Union, and Chiang Ching-kuo could only choose to wait. When I was walking in the manor, I met Qian Lao and Tang Weimin unexpectedly.
Back then, the Taiwan government and the newly founded New China were also scheming and unscrupulous in their efforts to win over overseas scientists. However, in the end, Lao Jiang still did not get the approval of Qian Lao, who was claimed by the Americans to be able to reach the three heavy divisions of the US army alone.
As the son-in-law of the famous general Jiang Baili, Qian Lao is certainly not too unfamiliar with Jiang Jingguo, the eldest son of Lao Jiang.
It's just that time has passed, and things have changed.
After meeting Chiang Ching-kuo, Qian Lao's first thought was to guess that Yang Weiping, the little fox, must be trying to use his influence to strive for the peaceful reunification of Taiwan and the mainland.
With this idea, Qian Lao would naturally be more polite to Chiang Ching-kuo.
When they met their old friends in a foreign country, Qian Lao and Chiang Ching-kuo kept silent about political matters, but just reminisced about the old days and talked about some interesting anecdotes about the family life of both parties.
When Yang Weiping sent Ivanov and Simonov away, took a shower and changed their clothes, and came to meet the distinguished guests from Taiwan very ceremoniously, Qian Lao and Chiang Ching-kuo were in their sixties, like two old naughty boys, in the open-air swimming pool in the garden, and no one refused to admit defeat in the swimming competition.
