In 2018, under the situation of the global sea monster crisis and economic recession, Xinhuaguo's comprehensive national strength has still been significantly improved, and it has achieved great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.

The fiscal revenue for the whole year was affected by the stagnation of import and export trade, which was lower than last year, but still surpassed Lijianguo and ranked in the leading position in the world.

Many industries, such as import and export, manufacturing and processing, tourism, fishery, and ocean-going shipping, have been hit hard by the crisis that has swept the world, with the number of unemployed hitting a record high in the history of Xinhua, and the relative lack of materials, prices have skyrocketed, and the living standards of residents have dropped significantly.

But if you compare it with other countries, the achievements of Xinhua in this year are too bright, and they are simply too good, which can be said to be second only to Hualong Kingdom.

In particular, through the expansion of domestic demand and the adjustment of the industrial structure, and the increase of investment in new energy, new materials, nuclear power, automobiles, infrastructure construction, agriculture and animal husbandry, military industry, aerospace, and so on, the domestic economic situation has been pulled out of the quagmire at the fastest speed and has begun to slowly improve.

Since 2013, Xinhua has surpassed Lijian to become the world's largest trading country, with 65 percent of oil, 60 percent of ore, and 40 percent of cash crops to be imported, and exports trillions of goods to the world every year, relying on foreign trade enterprises to feed more than 100 million workers.

Eighty percent of these imports and exports are transported by ship.

By the second half of the year, many localities had already begun to use strategic reserves. Thankfully, these years. Xinhuaguo spares no effort to promote new batteries and new energy vehicles. This has led to a significant reduction in oil imports.

Taoyuan Group's improvement of new varieties of agriculture and animal husbandry has also enabled Xinhuaguo to achieve self-sufficiency in grain.

The research of new materials in the Eastern Group has yielded fruitful results, which has made the products made by Xinhuaguo change from winning by "quantity" to winning by "quality", reducing the export of resources and dependence on foreign products.

These achievements have greatly alleviated the grim situation brought about by the sea monster crisis.

In order to be able to open up the sea channel, export products and import raw materials. On the one hand, Xinhua sent an ocean-going fleet to escort the merchant fleet, and even joined forces with the navies of the Japanese and South Korea countries to escort some important international waterways in turn.

On the other hand, it has accelerated the development of the air transport industry through technical cooperation with Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd., avoiding the sea.

While producing electric transport aircraft 24 hours a day, Xinhuaguo also vigorously developed ground-effect aircraft and carried out wartime production mobilization for this purpose. With a huge industrial manufacturing capacity, more than 3,500 ground effect aircraft were produced in one year.

Ground effect aircraft is a new type of high-speed aircraft between aircraft, ships and hovercraft. The ground effect creates an air cushion. Compared with airplanes and ships, it has many outstanding advantages such as fast speed, heavy load, fuel saving, and long range.

The speed of the ground effect aircraft is generally more than 200 km/h, and the maximum flight speed can reach 700 km/h, which is 10 times that of ordinary ships and 2 to 3 times that of hovercraft, and even helicopters are beyond reach.

The cost is generally only half of that of an aircraft with the same parameters, and it can also save the cost of building an airport or port.

Ground Effect Aircraft can fly not only over water, but also over snow and ice, swamps, deserts, shoals, rivers, and any relatively flat land. From water to land, and from land to water, it's easy to transition from flight status.

In the civilian field, ground effect aircraft can not only be used for passenger and cargo transportation, but also for resource exploration, search and rescue, tourism, anti-smuggling patrols, ocean-going fishing vessels and offshore platform personnel transportation, communication support and mail.

In the military field, because of its fast flight speed, strong stealth ability, long endurance time, and large carrying capacity, it can carry out reconnaissance, anti-submarine, mine-laying, mine-sweeping, life-saving and other maritime tasks, and can also undertake rapid maneuvering and supply tasks between coasts, islands, and fleets, and can be used for offensive missions after being equipped with missiles and other weapons.

With its excellent amphibious maneuverability and low dependence on ports and airports, ground-effect aircraft have become the most ideal tool for future landing operations.

As early as the early 80s of the last century, the ground-effect aircraft was successfully developed by the former Soviet Union, when a secret test flight was carried out in the Caspian Sea, which later shocked the Western world and was called the "Caspian Sea Monster".

So, ground-effect aircraft have long been on the market, and there are so many advantages, why haven't they been popularized in the world?

The reason is that the shortcomings of the ground effect aircraft, as prominent as its advantages, still have many technical obstacles.

The first is safety, which is likely to be lifted out of the ground effect area during the entire flight, once it encounters bad weather on undulating ground or sea surface, causing danger.

In addition, the rotation of the ground effect vehicle is poor, and the whole operation process is also very complicated.

Secondly, when flying close to the sea, the engine of the ground effect aircraft will inhale the waves, and when flying close to the ground, it will also suck in the ground gravel and debris, which is extremely demanding in design.

Third, ground-effect aircraft must not only be able to withstand the impact and vibration of the ground, but also be able to resist the corrosion of seawater; It is also a challenge to be strong enough but not too heavy, and it is also a big problem in terms of manufacturing materials.

Fourth, the design theory of ground effect aircraft is still immature, and all countries are slowly exploring?

Kyushu Industrial Group does not look down on the "four dislikes" type of transportation for the ground effect aircraft, but for the "new ground effect aircraft" project, it provides new alloy materials, electric motors and other advanced manufacturing technologies, as well as new design drawings.

In the end, the ground effect aircraft was not designed to resemble a seaplane, but more like a high-speed trimaran, with wide wings sticking out on both sides, with a strong sci-fi color.

In addition, it is powered by rare earth nano batteries, the transportation cost is extremely low, and the flight performance exceeded expectations during the test flight, which is amazing.

Among them, the largest "Kunpeng" ground-effect aircraft, with a take-off weight of up to 5,400 tons, a cruising speed of 460 kilometers per hour, and a range of more than 15,000 kilometers, can easily cross the Pacific Ocean.

It adopts automatic control driving technology, which can take off when the wave height is less than 6 meters, land when the wave height is less than 7 meters, and if necessary, it can also fly to a height of tens of meters or even thousands of meters, with extremely high safety.

Such a carrying capacity is dozens or even hundreds of times that of large transport aircraft in the world today, and its value in the civilian and military fields is difficult to estimate.

When the ground effect aircraft is driving, there is still a danger of being attacked by sea monsters, but relying on the water surface and extremely high speed, this danger is much lower than that of a ship, and it is no different from winning the jackpot, which can be ignored.

There are hard-hit industries, and there are emerging industries that are on the rise.

On the other hand, in this crisis, the most severe impact is first foreign enterprises, followed by joint ventures.

With the support of the government and the four major groups, the national enterprises have made great progress in this crisis, from technology, capital to market, filling the vacancy left by the retreat of foreign-funded enterprises.

In terms of scientific and technological research and development, Xinhua has made great achievements in various fields this year, and can finally go hand in hand with Lijianguo.

The export products are no longer mainly cheap and low-quality, but have changed to high-tech products such as aircraft, automobiles, digital products, batteries, electronic chips, medicines, robots, special alloy steels, new materials, crop seeds and improved plants.

Xinhua has been able to achieve tremendous achievements, and has gradually surpassed Lijian to become the world's largest power, among which the biggest contributors belong to the four major groups.

It can be said that as long as the four major groups enter a certain industry, they will be able to occupy the highest point of the industry in technology, so as to drive the rapid development of the industry in Xinhuaguo until it catches up with foreign counterparts.

Through technological innovation, the four major groups have eaten the fattest piece of meat in the market, and the leftovers left behind are enough for other companies to make a lot of money.

In the past, high-precision machine tools can only rely on imports, can not manufacture high-precision industrial machine tools, some of the introduction of production lines, basically developed countries are about to eliminate or have eliminated the second and third rate products, in order to maintain this leading edge, Western countries have maintained a technological gap with Xinhua for decades, in order to continuously squeeze benefits.

The rise of the Kyushu Industrial Group has changed this situation, and a large number of industrial machine tools, high-precision automated machine tools, and 3D printers have been sold to domestic companies.

Rare earth nano batteries have penetrated into various industries, from automobiles, aviation, ships, military and other fields, to notebooks, mobile phones, cameras and other industries, setting off a huge battery revolution.

With the advantages of Taoyuan Group in scientific research, new varieties such as rice, wheat, pasture, pigs, beef cattle, dairy cows, and goats have been vigorously promoted and developed, and the country and the people have also reaped rich returns.

The world's oceans have become dangerous off-limits, but Xinhua's coastal waters have always been safe, keeping the shipping, fishing and aquaculture industries alive in the near sea.

The completion of the seawater diversion project to the west has greatly alleviated the water shortage in the northwest and along the routes, and the industry, agriculture and animal husbandry that were previously restricted due to water shortage have begun to develop, benefiting countless people.

The green development of the Loess Plateau has attracted trillions of funds, created millions of jobs, and driven the economic development of several provinces, cities and regions within the plateau.

The construction of Taoyuan Desert Greening Base, Taoyuan Group has invested hundreds of billions of funds, which has also brought a huge and far-reaching impact to the northwest region.

The promotion of new plants such as sand fixing grass, improved sea buckthorn, pollution control water hyacinth, and phagophagocytic vine, as well as microbial garbage treatment technology, ecological toilet and other technologies developed by Taoyuan Environmental Protection Technology and Biotechnology Co., Ltd., has made a major breakthrough in Xinhuaguo's environmental governance work this year.

2018 can be said to be a crucial year, the country's overall environmental situation finally stopped deteriorating, but began to change for the better. (To be continued......)
