Chapter 451 Status

Such a plan to build a road can be said to be extravagant, because you don't know the development potential of the city, you just do it, and it is very likely that the end will be like a ghost town, such as the famous Kangbashi New District in Ordos, and the popularity of Ordos I believe everyone knows.

At that time, a huge coal mine was just discovered near Ordos, and the entire coal mine almost exceeded the sum of all the coal mines discovered before, and countless multimillionaires and billionaires were created in Ordos at once, for example, there were several villages, more than 100 households, and the minimum demolition assets were 2 million, and the maximum was tens of millions.

The local village chief even paid for internationally renowned financial consultants to invest and manage the entire village.

For example, at that time, Land Rover imported about 5,000 cars a year into China, and 90% of them were sold to Ordos.

In a few years, the real estate of the whole Ordos has been directly promoted to more than 10,000 square meters, you know, and when the housing price in Ordos rose to more than 10,000, the housing price in the third ring of the capital was only more than 20,000.

How rich was the Ordos Municipal Government at that time? With a permanent population of just over 300,000 in the city, a huge amount of money was spent on the establishment of the Kangbashi New District, and the houses in the Kangbashi New District have just begun to reach more than 10,000 square meters.

At that time, the equipment of the entire Kangbashi New District was almost the most advanced in the world, the most advanced automatic distribution system for road flow monitoring, the traffic lights were automatically intelligently controlled, the wide roads, the extremely luxurious greening, the top light neon design, the schools in the new area spent huge sums of money from the entire province to dig special first-class teachers to teach, etc., countless, but what about the final result?

As a result, the most common cars you'll see in the new Kangbashi area are buses! The most pedestrians you'll see on a wide road are not the residents here, but the cleaners on the road! You can imagine what the whole new area is like, at that time, it was known as a famous ghost town in China, not that there are ghosts here, but that there are no people here!

After that, everyone knows the result, that is, the real estate economic bubble in the entire Ordos burst, I don't know how many developers jumped from the roof, and the housing prices in the new area here fell from more than 10,000 square meters to more than 3,000 square meters, and even then, no one bought.

If you were a different person, 80% of the results would be like this. It's even worse than this, because Zhao Chen is no longer just building a city, this is completely irrational investment.

And the development case here has long been put on the chairman's desk, seeing such a way of construction, the chairman can't cry or laugh, it is estimated that no one in the world dares to play like this, right? The problem is that this cost of money, not to mention that Zhao Chen is a private person, even if it is a country, he would not dare to play like this.

But thinking of Zhao Chen's other identity, the chairman can only care, just play how you like, anyway, this is China's land, and the city is also the Chinese government, even if it fails in the end, what is built here will not be wasted.

After all, this money does not cost the state finance, this is all the money earned by Zhao Chen's own company, and the chairman has no reason to object, but about other things, the chairman pays more attention to other things, for example, the ultra-high capacity high-energy battery that Zhao Chen's company has researched below.

This means that purely electric AIP submarines have become possible, no, not only possible, several domestic heavy shipyard design institutes have already begun to design modification schemes.

The first submarines to be converted have already begun to dismantle their hulls directly in the closed dock. A new casing, including new materials, will be cast, and a large number of batteries will be installed inside to replace the previous powertrain.

When Zhao Chen listened to the report here, the chairman was also listening to the report, "Chairman, this is a new type of aero engine researched by Zhao Chen's company, if it is used in our J20, our new J20 can not only break through Mach 2, but also the maximum speed can reach Mach 4 in the case of afterburner, and even the maximum combat radius can reach 3000 kilometers!" ”

"Is this engine already in kind?" Hearing this, the chairman is also a little excited, which means that the gap between China and the United States and Russia in the aerospace field will be completely gone, and directly ahead of them.

"We have been provided with five prototypes, and the related technology has also been directly transferred to us, and the technology transfer fee includes the prototype production technology, and the other party has proposed a total price of 80 billion RMB." The person responsible for the report is the head of the General Armament Department of the military.

"Is this expensive?" In 2016, according to the calculations between international financial institutions, China has successfully surpassed the United States to become the world's largest economic entity, and China's GDP has exceeded 10 trillion US dollars for the first time, and the gap between China and the United States is still getting closer.

And China's military spending is naturally also continuing to grow, and now the number of new ships in the Chinese Navy is described internationally as dumplings, but in fact, it is almost the same, and the number of warships in service in 2016 alone reached nearly 30! And all of them are the latest Aegis ships! One can imagine how quickly China's naval power is increasing.

"It's not expensive, because it includes all the technology transfer, according to our separate research and development of military expenditure, we have invested more than 150 billion in research and development of aero engines over the years." The person in charge of the General Armament Department said with a serious face.

"If you think you can, then buy it, such an engine means that we will be in an absolute air supremacy in the field of future air force fighters, and then whether it is the United States, NATO, or Russia will not be our opponents, before I take office, the Chinese dream may not be an empty word." The chairman said with emotion.

"Yes, Chairman, I think you can buy it too." The person in charge of the General Armament Department also nodded and said.

"By the way, did he say something else when you bought this?" The chairman suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile, because Zhao Chen's identity was unknown to others, only the chairman and a very small number of people knew.

"Uh, how do you know, Chairman?" The person in charge of the General Armament Department was a little embarrassed and asked.

"Tell me." The chairman smiled and tapped on the table.

"He said that we don't have to spend money to buy this engine, just buy it directly from their company, if we can, the state can directly buy shares, and the state can control the engine manufacturing company, but the technology is not necessary to buy, let us save money to buy something else."

The chairman immediately laughed, and he knew that just when the general was reporting, the chairman noticed that his expression was different, so he asked that.

"What do you think?" The chairman smiled.

"I think this stinky boy is afraid that we will forcibly let him transfer technology, so he said that, he can develop such an engine, which is already **** luck, how many years have these domestic research institutes caught up with Europe and the United States? This is just the eyebrows, it can be regarded as barely keeping up with the pace of the other party, but this kid has directly developed an engine that is much more advanced than Europe and the United States, he said let's wait to buy more advanced, where is it so easy to come out of advanced things? The person in charge immediately said quickly.

The chairman immediately cried and laughed, this is obviously to buy good things back first, then I really don't know, whether he really thinks so, then I really don't know, but the chairman can understand that although the military has money now after so many years, it has money, and weapons and equipment are still backward.

Especially in the Air Force, everyone knows that in modern warfare, air supremacy is absolutely the most important, this thing is not big without air supremacy, and the engine is called the heart of the aviation field, the importance of the engine can be imagined, and a good engine means that this can be transformed into a series.

"He's not going to be out of focus, you may not know, but I've got a report here, you know? They were actually able to come up with these new engines, not that there was a new breakthrough in the development of engines, but something else. The chairman thought for a moment and spoke.

"Anything else? What aspects? The person in charge was stunned for a moment and asked inexplicably.

"Materials." Two words came out of the chairman's mouth.

"Materials?" The person in charge was stunned.

If the engine is the heart of aviation, then the material is probably the heart of all modern craftsmanship. Only by keeping up with the performance of the materials can you make the most advanced things.

For example, more than ten years ago, even if you threw the latest engine structure drawings and design drawings in the United States to China, I am afraid that the country at that time could not be built, why? It is because of the materials used to build these engines that cannot be produced domestically.

These high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, but also enough lightness and many other demanding requirements of the material is an important factor limiting the development of domestic engines, otherwise, the principle of the engine is basically the same, really think it is just a design problem? Actually, it's not, because there are a lot of things, even if you design it, you can't do it without materials.

For example, the well-known controllable nuclear fusion reactor, all countries in the world know what the design principle of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is, using a magnetic field to confine the nuclear reaction to maintain a high temperature of up to 100 million degrees Celsius inside, so as to convert thermal energy into electricity.

The question is, everyone knows the principle, do you have the materials to make such a device? No, the materials can't achieve the relevant properties, and they can't be built at all.
