Chapter 55: Prime Minister's Inspection III

55 Prime Minister Visits III

Next, Liu Jun took out the 1st-12th Five-Year Plan and handed it to Zhou Enlai. He also expressed his views on the preparation of the First Five-Year Plan and some projects." It is now entirely possible for us to push forward our country's economic construction for a number of years. We now have a good grasp of the country's various mineral divisions and advanced technology and technology, which can save a lot of exploration time and research test time and money. If we can establish diplomatic relations with Western capitalist countries, we can continue to sell all kinds of patents that are two or three years old before they are published. Or use these patents to work with them in joint ventures. Provide a steady stream of development funds for the development of our country. What is missing now is our basic industry and all aspects of professional talent. As long as we complete this initial stage, we will be able to achieve leapfrog development. In my opinion, our basic tasks now are: to carry out economic construction centered on heavy industry, to promote the transformation of existing technology and equipment, and to establish and improve the foundation of China's industrialization in five to eight years; Development of steel, energy, transportation. chemical industry, machinery processing industry; Through various forms including full-time, semi-full-time. and non-full-time evening classes. In two or three years, the literacy eradication in urban and rural areas will be completed, and the culture of the whole nation will be improved. Strive to cultivate all kinds of construction talents, encourage front-line workers to make small reforms, inventions and create. strengthening research in applied sciences; On the basis of the development of industrial production, we should strengthen our national defense strength and gradually improve the people's material and cultural living standards. ”

Deng Feng stretched out his thumb to Liu Jun and said, "High! It's really high! This invisible plunder is the fastest and bloodiest. I wonder how many research institutes in capitalist countries are going to close down. How many scientific researchers will be laid off and go home. How many famous scientists will become obscure from now on. Haha, you're ruthless!"

Everyone has always thought that Liu Jun's idea of selling patents is good.

The premier agreed to set up the China Intellectual Property Office immediately after his return, and first to register and protect China's intellectual property rights and evaluate the value of various patents. Planned export of patented technology to foreign countries to promote the development of the whole society and the scientific and technological progress of mankind. He also instructed the base to set up a proprietary intellectual property management committee of the first branch of the Fourth Aviation School to continuously input new patented technologies to the China Intellectual Property Office.

Everyone discussed how to develop China's economy and specific projects for two days.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Enlai and his entourage have been coming to the base for 5 days, and through the five-day visit and discussion, they have some new understanding of China's economic development strategy.

Before returning home, Zhou Enlai, Deng Feng, and other comrades from the base said: The chairman has mentioned the topic of the 'four modernizations' many times, and he said at a recent Politburo meeting: "We are a big country with a population of 500 million, and we are also an economically backward poor country, and we still have a long way to go to build us into a socialist power with modern industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology." He also said: "We are not good at industry, agriculture, science and technology, and military at present, and the imperialists estimate that you only have a little something, so they come to bully us." "In my conversation, he once again reaffirmed the goal of realizing the four modernizations. He said: We must learn how to do economic work, tell the comrades of the whole party to study economic management, settle down to study, wholeheartedly do a good job in economic construction, and build our country into a socialist country with modern industry, modern agriculture, modern science and culture, and modern national defense in a relatively short period of time. ”

Zhou Enlai went on to say: "What is industrial modernization? Through discussions with you and visits to the base, I have gained some new understanding: Industrial modernization is mainly the modernization of industrial technology, and the basic content is the mechanization, automation, electrification and chemistry of industrial production, and the use of the world's latest technology to equip all aspects of industry. Seeing the equipment and technology of the base, I feel even more that there is a huge gap between China's industrial level and the requirements of modernization.

Deng Feng said: "Prime Minister, your understanding of industrial modernization is very accurate. Don't worry. We're just getting started. At present, the level of equipment in our industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology is too low, and now we still rely on crowd tactics to carry out projects. How to improve labor productivity and improve the level of industrial production. The inefficiency of the tactics of changing the sea of people is the high efficiency of the use of mechanization. I believe that it is entirely achievable for us to continuously create conditions and strive to raise the level of our country's equipment."

The premier turned his face to Chen Jing and said, "You, an agricultural expert, can you explain to us about agricultural modernization?"

Chen Jing thought for a while and said: "Premier, my understanding is not necessarily correct, I believe that agricultural modernization is a socialized agriculture carried out in the field of agriculture by widely applying modern science and technology, means of production provided by modern industry, and scientific management methods in the field of agriculture. Its basic characteristics are: it has the formation and popularization of a complete set of agricultural science and technology based on modern natural science, so that agricultural production technology has shifted from relying on experience to relying on science, for example, on the basis of the development of botany, zoology, genetics, physics, chemistry, and other scientific sciences, agricultural science and technology such as breeding, cultivation, feeding, modern agriculture, soil improvement, and plant protection and animal protection have been rapidly improved and widely applied. The formation of the modern machine system and the wide application of agricultural machinery have transformed agriculture from the production of manual animal power agricultural tools to machine production, such as tractors, cultivators, combine harvesters, agricultural automobiles, agricultural aircraft and various machines in forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, which have become the main production tools of agriculture, and put the most advanced scientific and technological achievements into the agricultural field, such as electronics, atomic energy, lasers, remote sensing technology and artificial satellites and other applications in the agricultural field; A good, high-performance ecosystem is gradually taking shape. The degree of socialization of agricultural production has been greatly improved, such as the expansion of the scale of agricultural enterprises, the regional division of labor in agricultural production, the division of labor among enterprises, and the development of "small and complete" self-sufficient production by highly specialized and commercialized production. The agricultural production process is closely integrated with processing, marketing, and the manufacture and supply of means of production, resulting in the integration of agriculture and industry.

The emergence and development of modern agriculture has greatly increased agricultural labor productivity, land productivity, and commodity rate of agricultural products, and has brought about major changes in agricultural production, the appearance of rural areas, and the behavior of peasant households. Chen Jing smiled and said proudly: "Our Blue Sky Farm can be regarded as a microcosm of agricultural modernization."

The prime minister smiled and said: "I will hand over these hundreds of kilometers of land around the base to you. Can you get me some Blue Sky Farm?"

Chen Jing also smiled and said: "I also thought so, after the end of the Korean War, priority will be given to the volunteer soldiers who came back from the Korean battlefield, so that our heroes who resisted US aggression and aided Korea have a good place to go. For some disabled people, I have thought about how to arrange it? Set up a feed processing plant, and then set up a few modern chicken farms and pig farms to ensure that they have a lot to raise and rely on. People do what they can. They must not be allowed to shed blood or tears."

The Prime Minister's eyes moistened, and tears of gratitude flashed in his eyes, "I thank you on behalf of those injured comrades!" Thank you for thinking about our heroes and sharing your worries for the country."

Zhou Enlai paused for a moment for Deng Feng, Liu Jun, and Zhang Hengshan and said: You must pay close attention, and we must concentrate the strength of the whole country to develop cutting-edge national defense, electronics, missiles, aircraft, and satellites as soon as possible, so as to establish a modern national defense industry and a modern national defense force. The core of this is to build a strong and modern revolutionary army. Like you, this army must not only know how to use modern equipment, but also understand its ability and principles. ”

Deng Feng told the prime minister that the research work on the viability of some projects has now begun. It is hoped that these tasks can be carried out together with the relevant departments in China under the guidance of the Government Council.

The Prime Minister said that a special agency has now been established in accordance with the spirit of the President's instructions. The next step is to allocate special funds to build a relatively mothballed special zone in the area around the base. A number of high-tech scientific research institutes and high-tech industries will be built in the special zone. We should make use of the base's advantages in talent, science and technology, and information to directly introduce the base's most advanced scientific and technological achievements to various departments in China, and equip China in all aspects with the latest technology, so that China can master and apply modern science and technology such as atoms, electronics, supersound, and information as soon as possible. It has reached the international leading level in science and technology. Of course, this is a process of gradual realization and gradual improvement.

Finally, Zhou Enlai highly summarized the interrelationship between the four modernizations as follows: agriculture is the foundation, industry is the leading, national defense is the guarantee, and science and technology are the key. That is, proceeding from the status and role of agriculture, industry, national defense, and science and technology in social and economic development, we have formulated the four modernizations as the overall goal of China's strategic development.

The prime minister returned to Yanjing after a five-day inspection of the base, with a plan for the operation of a nuclear counterattack and a ton of various materials. Li Dawei accompanied him to Yanjing to prepare for the United Nations General Assembly.
