Chapter 430: The Great Development Leap 1994
The success of the arms business in the Middle East has allowed the base to have a large amount of funds, and various projects have been directly put into operation, such as nuclear submarines, Lu Shaohua ordered the production of two more to protect the safe use of oil transportation, and the number of frigates has also increased by four, creating an iron barrel-like defensive circle around the oil carriers.
In addition, like long-range missiles, Lu Shaohua also ordered to increase investment in research and manufacture, the so-called long-range missile, long-range missiles refer to those that can hit long-range, and in the 21 st century, a long-range missile can hit a target half a world away.
With the technology of the 90s, although long-range missiles are called long-range, the difference in the times also means that the science and technology are different, and it is impossible to hit half the world, but the distance is not close, and it is still possible to hit a quarter of the earth.
The strength of the military force is not to defeat the enemy, but to deter, Lu Shaohua now has a big business, a lot of money, but he has no power, if someone wants to move him, it will be an instantaneous matter.
Therefore, Lu Shaohua will not passively wait to be beaten, he wants to develop his own power, just like in business, he wants to develop oil, buy oil fields, and store crude oil to increase his commercial influence.
The same is true for military strength, when it develops to a certain point, Lu Shaohua will release news through some special channels, so that those individuals or countries who want to fight his idea will have a price to withstand his blow.
Judging from Lu Shaohua's personality, others don't mess with him, and he will never provoke people, but once he is angered, then the enemy will suffer the blow of destruction like the previous Falcon Mercenary Group and the Skull Mercenary Group.
Lu Shaohua's manufacture of long-range missiles is intended to defend and protect the safety of the base, and at the same time, he is also used to deter the enemy.
There is no way, just as Lu Shaohua thought, now that his family is big and has a big business, he doesn't have a certain amount of energy, and it is too difficult for him to protect himself. He had to do it in order to fulfill his dream, and if he hadn't, he might have faced a cold blade that day, or a bullet with a spark on it.
Lu Shaohua once thought about him, whether he was too worried, but after thinking about it, the answer he finally got was to be prepared, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Of course, after all, long-range missiles are only missiles that can hit a little farther, and their deterrent power is limited, even if Lu Shaohua has thousands of long-range missiles, the location for destruction is always limited.
And if you want to have a greater deterrent effect, you can only have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are a general term for weapons that use the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion reactions that can sustain themselves to produce explosive effects and have destructive effects of mass destruction.
In the nineties, nuclear weapons were represented by two kinds, one was the atomic bomb and the other was the hydrogen bomb, the atomic bomb was mainly a fission weapon made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium-235 (U-235) or plutonium-239 (239PU), commonly known as the atomic bomb.
And what about the hydrogen bomb? Hydrogen bombs are mainly thermonuclear weapons or fusion weapons made by using the thermonuclear reaction principle of light atomic nuclei such as heavy hydrogen (D, deuterium) or super heavy hydrogen (T, tritium), etc., and are commonly known as hydrogen bombs.
The energy released when fossil fuels such as coal and oil are burned comes from the chemical reaction of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. General chemistry**, such as TNT, releases energy from the decomposition of compounds. In these chemical reactions, the nuclei of atoms such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen do not change, but the combined state of the individual atoms changes. Nuclear reactions are not the same as chemical reactions. In a nuclear fission or fusion reaction, the nuclei involved in the reaction are transformed into other nuclei, and the atoms are changed. Therefore, it is customary to refer to such weapons as atomic weapons. But in essence, it is the reaction and transformation of the atomic nucleus, so it is more accurate to call it a nuclear weapon.
In addition to the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, there is another kind, that is, the nuclear warhead, any weapon that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead is also called a nuclear weapon, such as a long-range missile, and if you add a long-range missile to a nuclear warhead, then the long-range missile becomes a nuclear weapon.
If you have a greater deterrence, nuclear weapons are the best choice, Lu Shaohua also thought of this, but the creation of nuclear weapons is too shocking, although Lu Shaohua has the technology, but he does not want to make it, he can see the difficulties that may be encountered in the future, Lu Shaohua hesitated again.
This hesitation lasted for a few years, and when the oil plan was officially launched and the first batch of crude oil arrived in Africa, Lu Shaohua finally made a decision, that is, to make it.
So, in the first year of 1994, Lu Shaohua officially started the subsidiary program of the oil program, the manufacture of nuclear weapons, the purpose is only for self-preservation, and not for anything else.
Lu Shaohua just wants to fulfill his dream and form an economic empire, not for anything else.
Lu Shaohua once asked himself, is it a bit exaggerated to build nuclear weapons? But the results show that it is not an exaggeration at all, and although on the surface it appears that only the same country has nuclear weapons, who knows whether an individual has nuclear weapons?
If someone stands up and says something, Lu Shaohua will definitely stand up and refute it as soon as possible, for no other reason, like a family with a long history, why can they be passed down from generation to generation, if they don't rely on it, I'm afraid they will have disappeared from the long river of history.
And what is this dependence? Money? No, money is useless, power, well, somewhat useful, but there is no guarantee that they will be passed down from generation to generation, because power sometimes disappears, so their only reliance is on military power.
Lu Shaohua wants to form an economic empire, and he hopes to pass it on from generation to generation, so he must have it, and creating nuclear weapons has become the only way for him to protect himself.
Fortunately, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate to spend several years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it was finally time to pay off, and there were no less than dozens of military weapons stored in the base, including atomic bomb technology, hydrogen bomb technology, and the overlord of the sea, aircraft carriers.
However, Lu Shaohua has not ordered the manufacture of aircraft carriers so far, the reason is very simple, the base is not close to the sea area, and Lu Shaohua does not need this big guy, so he has not started manufacturing it for the time being.
…… The base has been developed in an all-round way, and a large amount of money has been exchanged for arms, allowing Lu Shaohua to open a lot of projects, and at the same time, the oil field has also obtained as many as three, two of which were exchanged for money, and one was exchanged for a large number of arms and a thousand mercenary groups to help [***] armed organizations.
With three oil fields, Lu Shaohua's heart has also let go a lot, but the three oil fields are all small oil fields, and they can't satisfy their appetite, and they need to continue to buy and replace oil fields, but for Lu Shaohua now, it is already a little saturated.
After getting three small oil fields, Lu Shaohua gave an order not to use the oil fields, and all the arms were exchanged for money, and the funds were used to accelerate the development of the base.
Facts have shown that Lu Shaohua's decision is correct, and in more than half a year, the munitions have created more than $30 billion in profits for the base, and Lu Shaohua has invested all of them in the base, and the results achieved are very remarkable.
The base has funds and can operate on its own, and Lu Shaohua finally relieved himself and began to turn to state investment, especially to cooperate with the state to build a base for the production of civil aircraft, which can be prepared in the middle of 1993, and it took half a year to complete the construction and enter the stage of putting into use.
The country did not break its promise, when the base was put into use, the personnel were also in place at the same time, and the most advanced technology of the current aircraft was also brought out, coupled with the technology provided by Lu Shaohua, the two merged together, learned from each other's strengths, and it took four months to finally manufacture an advanced civil aviation aircraft.
As soon as the aircraft appeared, its advanced technology attracted many civil aviation companies, and they came to purchase it, and the number of orders soared all of a sudden, completely hitting the world's largest civil aviation aircraft manufacturer - Boeing.
But Boeing can't help it, the surface of the aircraft production base is a Chinese official company, and even if Boeing is strong, it can't confront China's political axe, so it can only swallow its anger and research advanced technology, intending to use technology to regain the market that originally belonged to them.
But it's so easy to grab back the market, they're going to study it, won't they study it here? Similarly, after developing an aircraft, Lu Shaohua ordered the development of the second one, with strong technical support, it has become a foregone conclusion to overpower a Boeing company, and there is no suspense at all.
The civil aviation aircraft base has been successful, Lu Shaohua did not get any benefits from it, and invested all the money in the development of a new generation of aircraft, without any dividends, it looks like a bottomless pit, and he still needs to continue to fill in the money.
Yes, it's like a bottomless pit, but Lu Shaohua is already powerless at this time, the more than 420 billion US dollars he earned from the capital back then have already been spent in these years, and now his company is also poor, and there is only a small amount of money to maintain the normal operation.
The reason for this situation is that Lu Shaohua set up a telecommunications company, and as soon as the telecommunications company invested, the state promised Lu Shaohua that he would build two satellites within five years.
Building communication satellites is money, and tens of billions of dollars are invested in it all of a sudden, and the infrastructure of communication companies needs to be invested in vain.
In addition, there is also the development of mobile phones, this kind of wireless phone is leading a trend, and it has also become a communication tool that people carry with them, originally with Lu Shaohua's ability to study Big Brother, but Lu Shaohua did not do that, but skipped Big Brother and directly aimed at the mobile phone.
Since the middle of 1993, the research has been going on for more than a year, and the results are good, and according to the report, it is not far from being successfully developed. As long as the mobile phone is developed, it means that Lu Shaohua's wireless communication company is official.
However, Lu Shaohua is not happy now, but has a headache, he is having a headache with funds, many projects are bottomless, and he still needs to invest funds, but the problem is that he has no funds to invest now, which really gives him a headache.
