【203】Soccer Ball and Rubber Tree

Xiao Qiang returned to Beidu from Shenyang and went directly to the chairman to report his work, and after hearing from the chairman that the Soviet Union had promised to sell graphite reactors to China, Xiao Qiang was overjoyed.

"Chairman, the Soviet Union has made a lot of money this time, this is a new type of experimental graphite pile! The Soviet Union itself has just begun to build, and it is a good deal to build one for us at the same time. ”

The chairman said dissatisfiedly: "You think too badly of the Soviet Union, but they are very strong, and they take out this little thing to sell it to us at the original price, and they also ask us to pay the freight and the salary of experts, which is also too calculating." ”

Xiaoqiang laughed and said: "Isn't there a saying, the richer you are, the more you will pick the door."

Hehe, but this graphite reactor is a good thing, and I can't buy it in 2011. In 2011, even if they were willing to sell atomic energy equipment, they would only sell light water reactors, and would not come up with graphite reactors and heavy water reactors. If you want to build nuclear weapons, you must build graphite piles and heavy water reactors.

The graphite reactor is enough for us to study and manufacture an atomic bomb, but if we want to build a hydrogen bomb, we have to go to a heavy water reactor, and in order to speed up the manufacture of hydrogen bombs, the Americans have built seven heavy water reactors in one go to produce raw materials. I suggest that during the construction of graphite reactors in China, we should simultaneously research and manufacture heavy water reactors, so as to save time and continuously explode atomic and hydrogen bombs. ”

After listening to Xiaoqiang's words, the chairman smiled and said, "You are very anxious, but I am worried about the bill." If it weren't for the large amount of fabrics and medicines and tubes you brought, I'm afraid I would have to be pants. ”

"Chairman, you can rest assured, the Soviet Union is definitely in huge demand for small tubes, this kind of small tube production jishu they can't do it for three or five years, not to mention that it takes a lot of money to make a small tube, and it takes a lot of money to invest in the entire production process and materials science research, the estimated life span of zuihou is still very low, and the cost is high, so it is better to buy it.

I calculated that the Soviet army would need at least 2 million small tubes just to miniaturize all of its military radios, and there were also electron tubes for civilian use and various weapons, all of which were in huge demand. At present, the Soviet Union only saw the small size of our tubes, but it will not be long before they realize that this miniaturized tube is not only small in size and light in weight, but also has the advantages of saving 70% of electricity, 5 times longer life, and greatly reducing heat generation. ”

The chairman asked: "Since such a small tube is so good, the weishenme sells for only 30 dollars a piece in the USSR." ”

Xiaoqiang said: "Cheap he will buy more, cheap to show the fact that it is better to buy, the consumption of electron tubes is huge, once the business starts, it can not stop, from military to civilian, we can monopolize the entire Warsaw Pact system of the tube market, at least in the next five years, tube exports will be an important pillar industry of our country's economy." The cost of the tube in 2011 is only a few cents, and the cost is even cheaper to calculate in centimeters if you bring it back, which is completely a business. At present, it is imperative that we first build our own tube factory. ”

After listening to Xiaoqiang's discussion, the chairman was very satisfied, stretched out his hand and threw Xiaoqiang a cigarette, and the two of them were spitting clouds and fog in the living room, and the mood was very happy.

Xiaoqiang remembered one thing and suggested to the chairman: "This year's Shijie Cup football match is about to start, and there was originally only one Indian team in Asian countries as a representative, but because it was not allowed to participate in the game barefoot, the Indian team protested and withdrew from the game." However, there should also be some economic considerations in this, after all, India is also poor.

President, I suggest that the People's Republic of China send a football team to participate in the 1950 Brazil Shijie Cup, to win glory for Asia and the people of Chinese, no matter what the results are, it is also to represent China and Asia in front of the Shijie people, so that the Shijie people can see the new look of the new Chinese people. ”

As soon as Xiaoqiang's bad idea came out, he blushed a little, as a pseudo-military fan and pseudo-fan, he has not watched football games for many years. But considering the level of football this year, I think there is still hope to compete for the quarterfinals or something, after all, there are a total of 13 teams participating in this Shijie Cup, and there are a total of 14 teams in China. Xiaoqiang thinks that it is quite a big hope to get a quarterfinals.

The chairman frowned and said, "What is the current level of football in our country?" Can you go out and play against a foreign team? ”

Xiaoqiang said: "There are many teams from various enterprises, and the level is okay, after all, my country also participated in the 14th Olympic Football Championship held in London in 1948. There is indeed a group of athletes in the country who play very well. For example, the steel wheel team of the Beidu Tram Company, Shi Wanchun in the team is a very famous star, and the Beiguang team of the Beijing Hotel is also very powerful. ”

As soon as the chairman heard Xiaoqiang say this, he said: "Since I have a certain strength, I think I can try, friendship first, competition second, go out to see the world, and let the Shijie people see the new face of our Chinese, I approved." ”

After the Shijie Cup football match, the chairman mentioned the development of sports in China, and Xiaoqiang lost no time in suggesting that he should train athletes for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics from now on.

The Chairman has always advocated and practiced sports, and when he heard it, he readily agreed. This attitude is the same as what the Prime Minister said before the 1952 Helsinki Olympics: "As long as the five-star red flag is raised on the field, it is a victory." "It's the same.

Just as Xiaoqiang and the chairman were chatting, the prime minister also came.

"Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, what kind of diorama are you talking to the chairman? Let me, an old man, listen to it, too, so that I can also learn a long time. With his usual demeanor, the prime minister walked into the living room of Fengze Garden with a smile.

Xiaoqiang quickly pinched his cigarette and stood up to greet the arrival of the prime minister, and said with a smile: "I was telling the chairman, let's send a football team to Brazil to participate in the 1950 Brazilian Shijie Cup." The Chairman agreed. ”

When the prime minister heard this, he smiled and said: "If this is a few months ago, I guess I will be worried, where is the fund allocated to Mr. He's General Administration of Sports to go abroad." Now that I have cloth and penicillin for money, my pockets are suddenly much looser. I also agree with your suggestion, and when I go back today, I will call Mr. He and ask him to pull out one of the most haode teams from under his hands. ”

Xiao Qiang applauded excitedly like a crazy person: "Great, I will bring a batch of sports training equipment when I go back this time, as well as the books and materials on kinesiology in Shijie in the past sixty years." In two years' time, I hope to go to Helsinki to witness the grand occasion of Chinese athletes winning gold and silver. ”

The chairman smiled: "Enlai, do you think this comrade is a sports fan?" As soon as I heard about the sports meeting, I was happy like a big horse monkey. ”

The premier smiled and said: "I hope this comrade will not forget that he still has a very heavy task in the field of culture, and now all of China and even all Shijie Chinese know that there is a famous songwriter named Cao Xiaoqiang." ”

When Xiaoqiang heard the Prime Minister's words, a little white face was as ashamed as a red paper, and said: "Prime Minister, don't mention this stubble, I'm ashamed to death, how can you say that I'm a layman embarrassed to be a cultural figure." ”

The chairman took a puff of his cigarette and jokingly pointed, "I can teach you." Cultural figures are easy to do, if you don't talk less, you will make fewer mistakes, if you don't speak, you just have to take out the work, and don't say anything else, you are the most intelligent cultural person. ”

After listening to the chairman's words, the prime minister said: "Chairman, where are you teaching young people to be motivated, in the long run, isn't Comrade Xiaoqiang going to become a "cultural master"? ”

Xiao Qiang faced the humor of the second elder and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, I listen to the leader's arrangement, and I will carry this master with a cheeky face." ”

The chairman looked at Xiaoqiang's bitter gourd face, and said with a playful smile: "After you go up to this thief ship, you have a very good reputation, I'm afraid you won't want to ask you to come down in the future." ”

After the chairman and the prime minister joked about Xiaoqiang, they discussed the matter.

Prime Minister Zhengse said: "The Soviet Union also put forward a request this time, they hope to expand trade relations with our country, and hope that our country can export rubber to them, nominally purchasing 5,000 tons of rubber." However, China is not self-sufficient in rubber at present, last year in 1949 a year to import 38,900 tons of rubber, this year is expected to need to import more than 70,000 tons to meet the demand. The Council intended to intensify smuggling from Southeast Asia and increase the import of rubber for resale to the Soviet Union. ”

The chairman thought for a while and said, "Xiaoqiang, what do you think?" ”

Xiaoqiang replied directly: "Rubber is a material that the Soviet Union itself cannot produce and is difficult to import from other countries in the Cold War environment. In fact, not only the Soviet Union was short of rubber, but also our country. More than 90% of the natural rubber production area of Shijie is controlled by the three old colonists of the United States, Britain and France, and we currently have no strength to compete.

So in my opinion, we should be based on self-reliance at present, establish agricultural bases in Hainan and Yunnan, and build rubber plantations. In the future, after our synthetic rubber plant is put into operation, natural rubber will still be an irreplaceable resource, so the scale of the rubber plantation should be as large as possible. ”

Xiaoqiang knows that in history, my country resold 8,000 tons of natural rubber from the Soviet Union under extremely difficult circumstances, and in this era, natural rubber was too important for the Soviet Union.

Seeing that both the chairman and the prime minister agreed with him, Xiaoqiang continued:

"China's Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places can be planted rubber trees, but these areas are in the northern edge of the tropics, the planting environment is inferior to the place of origin, has been regarded as a forbidden area by foreign rubber industry authorities. However, with the efforts of several generations of people in New China, we finally succeeded in establishing a complete set of scientific planting system, established China's natural rubber industry, and smashed the Westerners' assertion that rubber cannot be grown on the northern edge of the tropics. I'm going back this time to bring all these jishu materials, and all the corresponding equipment. But I can't bring a live clover to Brazil, so I have to import it from Brazil. ”

The prime minister asked carefully: "It's very hot in the south of our country, can't you grow gum like that?" ”

Xiaoqiang carefully read the report of his company's agricultural group, and at this time he had the opportunity to show off, and quickly explained: "In fact, in 1904, China's Yunnan Dehong Tusi once introduced 8,000 Indian rubber saplings, and in the 40s, only 2 were still alive. In 1948, overseas Chinese brought 20,000 Indian rubber trees from Nanyang and established the "Siamhua Rubber Garden" in Xishuangbanna, but by 1953, there were only 89 living rubber trees left in the Siamhua Rubber Garden. It can be seen that the adaptability of Indian rubber trees to the northern edge of the tropics is miserable, and we must not take any more detours, as we have done in history, to introduce 300,000 Indian rubber trees again, and mobilize a large number of energetic builders to make useless attempts.

Seed selection is the key, the Indian rubber tree is obviously less adaptable than the Brazilian clover rubber tree, the later generations of Chinese agricultural experts after a bumpy exploration and painful lessons, finally determined that all the plants in China are Brazilian clover rubber trees. Not only is the Indian rubber tree not suitable, including the Soviet rubber grass, the central party rattan, the large-leaved staghorn vine and other herbs, vine rubber crops we also don't want to try again, in the history of our country hunger to eat all the tried, and finally because the amount of rubber production is very small, the quality of the rubber produced is very poor and gave up. In order to find a self-sufficient road to rubber production, New China has endured all kinds of hardships. ”

The chairman nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since Xiaoqiang directly pointed out the right path to us, then there is no need to take a detour, let's introduce all Brazilian clover rubber." Anyway, the football team is going to Brazil to play the Shijie Cup this time, and I look at the entourage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and by the way, I will also do the introduction of Brazilian clover rubber trees. Taking a step back, if the football team can't go to Brazil, we will have to get this Brazilian clover tree. ”

Xiaoqiang happily planned the vision and said: "When we successfully introduce Brazilian clover rubber trees and establish rubber plantations, we can promote them to the surrounding areas." At that time, China can use the advantages of Jishu to invest in rubber plantations in Vietnam and other South Asian countries, and then control half of the natural rubber sources of the entire Warsaw Pact market. ”

The chairman and the prime minister listened to Xiaoqiang's words, and their eyes lit up.
